Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/d802-bootloader-changer-1-1-jb-kk-lp-t3104380
And then flash a KitKat baseband then you can install KitKat Roms.

I'll try it right now! But do you think the version of twrp has something to do with it?

Possibly, download twrp from blastgator it is bumped and doesn't need loki signature.

i did everything you said....how u said it.....and still..same thing "loki failed" i even updated twrp to new bumped twrp....idk maybe its because i didnt wipe.? i just wanna get back on kk because lolipop is killing me. i just got back into recovery and flashed the lolipop rom again to get my phone back on. this really sucks

If you really want to go on a KitKat ROM you will have to use the tot method to get to stock KitKat and then root your phone using stumproot/towelroot. Then use autorec for KitKat to install recovery then update recovery with blastgator twrp then install KitKat baseband then you can flash your KitKat ROM. Make sure to do wipe before installing new rom

In all honesty, if the method I have provided has not worked then flash back to stock KitKat and follow the guide I typed above.

yes you will have problems.... and then youll be back on here for hours reading and praying you can figure out how to solve them
you cannot install an OTA with a custom recovery..... you have to be complete stock.... no mods at all like the hotspot hack either
Ok thank u

Rooting

I ran ioroot24 on my lg g2, thinking it would root it. I did everything it said and it finished and my phone restarted and I didn't have root. Anyone know what happened. I have d80020c 4.4.2

There's no easy root for 4.4.2 as of right now.
You would need to downgrade to 4.2.2, re-root and install custom recovery > then follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2665985

There is no root or custom recovery for KitKat 4.4.2 as stated in the second post.
You CAN keep root if you go back to stock and flash a certain order.
LG fixed the Loki exploit used before. So they're trying other alternatives but nothing yet.

Yes there is root and custom recovery on 4.4.2 right now only for d800 and d801 and that thread explains what to do for d800 honestly did you not read I am also on 4.4.2 right now with root and recovery and we have had it since a week ago

Use 4.4.2 Stock Recovery to Flash Zips

Hi,
Is it possible to use the stock recovery to Flash zips? Alternatively will using the app Flashify to Flash the zips cause any issues? This is for a D802 on 4.4.2.
Thanks
Sean

From what I remember, the stock recovery doesn't have that function.

Ditto
Stock only flashes signed zips. Like official ota and such.
Flashify to flash, well all depends what it is. U can flash recoveries safely but not stuff that is in operation. Some, maybe like sound mods that require reboot.

Can I flash a non stock kit Kat Rom

I have the flashable through recovery version of stock kit Kat. Since I did not use a LG tool to flash it, can I still flash another non stock kit Kat Rom or do I have to downgrade. I still have twrp so I'm guessing I should Be ok, just worried about partitions.

Do you have custom recovery? Then yes. Are you referring to ROM's like CloudyFlex, etc?
Ya twrp, went to install Mahdi Rom for d801 and got horrible reception and no data, so was curious if it's a kitkat doing it.

Also, if you wish to use stock KK ROM's just wipe and flash away.
Yeah I flashed that and than tried a T-Mobile only modem, no auto rotate either so that might be the problem

How to upgrade!

So the last 2 times I have updated ota I have gone into a bootloop. I tried complete wipe then flashing kk modem then pa and pa gapps to only be stuck in another boot loop! At this point I'd just like to be able to get a 4.4 rom. How do I do it without bootlooping? Thanks!
Here's my software info!

Download a 4.4 ROM from here, copy it to your phone, then flash it in recovery.
