HELP needed!

Hi everyone - thanks in advance for your help.
I have tried to get 4.4 paranoid android running on my nexus 4 - however, CWM is not working (can't enter recovery, nor can I flash it in ROM Manager -- it says "an error occurred while flashing your recovery"), and I do not have any of the google apps.
I have not gone into this stuff for many years (did it on an old xperia), but unfortunately got into this whole mess when I bought this nexus which I didn't realize until after was rooted. Anyhow, can someone please provide a link with a straight-forward step-by-step process for how I can get this phone working again, back to stock, with google apps and everything? In simple terms would be great, from start to finish.
I really do apologize in advance for my amateur knowledge coming into this. In essence, I am simply trying to get around issues that came up after having bought a rooted nexus 4. But now in flashing Paranoid Android CWM won't work and I can't flash any google apps as a result.
Thank you, thank you, and thank you.

Hello,
Actually, rooting yor phone is not the problem, btw you can check this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534160 to back your n4 to stock 4.4.
You will need to unlock your bootloader before, however it is simple and the instructions is on the link too.

[Q] Custom ROM D801 Question

Hey guys, I'm a bit (and by bit I mean huge) noob since I just switched to Android about 20 days ago. I'm looking to flash a custom ROM on my phone, and I'm looking to keep the awesome battery life the phone brings. I was looking at OmniROM, and that one got my attention since it seems to be stable, clean and most battery efficient (correct me if wrong please!)
However, I have no clue how to proceed. My phone is rooted already, but some tutorials I was reading were for the D802 and required a MicroSD slot.
Can anyone lend me a hand? It'd be hugely appreciated

First off you need to install TWRP recovery or CM recovery. Once those are complete you can continue on. Which I can help once you get there.

Done. I have installed TWRP and went ahead and downloaded the OmniROM file. What is next?
Thanks, by the way

This is a link to the second post of the omni rom thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47236432&postcount=2 . It gives step by step instructions on how to install using TWRP. This method is usually the same for all ROMs

[Q] Help With LG Optimus Zone 2 (VS415PP)

Need a little assistance. I have been searching everywhear for a month to find a recovery for my device. Its the LG Optimus Zone 2 (VS415PP) and thought i found it, it was labled LGOZ2 in the main heading and .zip title so i thought i had it, i flashed it. However it was for the LG Optimus Zone (VS410) and now i dont have a recovery. YAY!!! So I am hoping that someone here on XDA is willing to point me in the right direction to either a CWM, TWRP, Stock or some custom recovery for my device. I know quite a bit about flashing and other things but i dont know how to mod and compile my own recover or any other for my device.lol. Can XDA save me? ^.^

I actually have a copy of this recovery. (I have the same phone, so I know your pain.)

This is the recovery you need.
Extract the file to your download folder.
Command to flash:
su -c dd if=/sdcard/Download/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
(This is assuming it's in your download folder.)

I am currently looking for roms So far 0 exist.

Can anyone point me to a good custom ROM for my device? Also, is there an exhaustive list of custom ROMs available? This is my 3rd android device, and I've been able to find root methods and custom recoveries etc for all 3, but haven't found much development for the LG Optimus Zone 2. Would searching the deep web be useful? I've only been into these things since last July and haven't encountered many people outside of the internet that knows about or is interested in these things.
Any and all guidance is appreciated

daishi4u over @ AA51 compiled CWM and TWRP for the LG Optimus Fuel L34C, which is the TracFone variant of the VS415PP I believe. I read further in the thread where someone else with the VS415PP flashed twrp and the boot.img and had to flash the OS, he then re-flashed only twrp and it worked fine for him. I grabbed flashify from the play store, downloaded twrp 2.8.4.0 from the top of the thread (which is where the preceding url will take you), and flashed the .img. Works like a charm

I'm sorry about the lack of custom Roms. Please tell me... What kind of ROM are you wanting? AOKP, Cyanogen, AOSP, etc. I'm working on a ROM now, however it is still in Dev phase 2. A preferred medium is appreciated!

Personally, I would prefer AOSP, mainly because it is lightweight.

It really bugs me when people don't give proper or any details.
Both accounts above (the third-hand account left out some important details) involved the exact same issue and neither poster gave any details worth a damn how to resolve it.
I just got this phone from work and decided to risk rooting and flashing TWRP. Then I did as the other two guys did and flashed the bootloader from the above-mentioned thread @ androidarea51 so VOL+ could be used during boot to get into TWRP. That's where I ran into a snag like the other two guys. I got the LG Security Error and had to use the LG Mobile Support Tool to recover the factory bootloader, recovery, and OS to the phone. Fortunately everything I had added to the phone was still there, so it didn't wipe any data. There are plenty of guides on how to use it.
The bootloader compiled for the Fuel L34C DOES NOT work for the VS415PP - only TWRP and CWM do. Therefore, if you flash either recovery, you must install something like Quickboot that allows rebooting your phone directly into the recovery. Otherwise, you can't use it. (It doesn't just work "like a charm" on it's own as g0nzo made it sound.)
P.S. If anyone wants to take a try at the ROM, I did manage to back it up. It's pretty much factory as I got the phone 2 days ago and did hardly anything with it in that time.

Your out of luck because building you own rom for the Lg optimus zone 2 is utterly impossible!! You would need the source code which is the heart of building a rom. Unless you find a device that is almost identical to the Lg optimus zone 2 you can use the source code from it but I have built roms for my LG G2 and LG optimus L70 and I needed the source code ? Sorry about spilling this news but I will be working on a way to retrieve the code but since the device is a bit old I focus on the later Devices

It's not impossible its actually quite simple, but when you cant get the updater-script then it becomes inpossible. You can find the source code for the LG Optimus Zone 2 here: http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=vs450ppThe G2 is about as far away from the Zone 2 as you can get. The L70 is closer... but still not good enough.

[Q] LG G2 D802H, Root help.

Hey guys.
I am not that new in the whole rooting "scene" but it seems that I am unable to find a proper guide for rooting my (updated) phone. Every guide I have found, not only in this site, is outdated for like a year or so or just for older versions of the firmware, and if there is one thats for D802H(international model, I'm from Greece) it's probably in really bad english or directed towards pros. I rooted my G2 when I got it last year but decided to unroot because of some problems with the screen so I could use my warranty and haven't rerooted since. So it would be really helpful if any of you could point me in a certain guide or just run me through the whole process of rooting my phone, what to download, what to do to my phone, the recoveries etc. I would really like to use Cyanogen Mod or a G3 mod. Certainly, my choice for these two is because they look awesome. If you have any other rom on your mind that might be better than these, please dont hesitate from telling me. I really need all the help I can get, last time I got stuck on a boot loop and didn't know what to do for many hours before I reflashed to stock. So basically I would like a root guide ( found one from a member called somboons, seemed nice but wasn't really thorough as to whether I should wipe all data or just wipe dalvik cache and really wasn't noob-friendly) and a link to a ROM download page with a guide for flashing it. Not really into kernels, so if you could suggest a different one from stock that provides better battery life etc. that would be great. Any other info that you feel I should know will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys and sorry for the trouble I'm putting you,
George.
P.S.: Would like to avoid wiping data if at all possible.

How to install Cyanogenmod?

Very confused about the process of installing Cyangenmod on my phone. How do I install the unlocked firmware?

You may just want to wait if you are asking these questions. CM is still in alpha stages anyways, not everything is working for it to be a daily driver imo.

CM is definitely outta alpha stages

That is because you cannot do it that way which is why you bootlooped. The CM threads speak of this numerous times. You need to RUU the US developer, then FLASH a Sprint variant ROM (like Bad Boys), then wipe and install CM which will work. The other option is to just use the developer edition with SuperCID/MID and then CM will work without flashing back to Sprint ROM's. I would go with the first option as you will gain better LTE as you wont be on Sprint's "global" connections.

Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Such a shame this thread went to PM. It seems like it would have been good basic information for experienced flashers whom are new to the HTC world. I came from the Galaxy S5 (SM-900R7 nTelos variant), and had been testing out LineageOS 14.1 on it (as an update to CM13, which I was building myself). This thread would have been helpful to help flash the HTC10 version. Still learning it. Quite different from the Samsungs, for sure!

would someone mind either posting in the thread or PM me back with a link or guide, step by step how to install Cyanogenmod. I have rooted a few Samsung phones before, but once I have them rooted and running stable I usually leave them alone...point being I have not rooted a phone in two years....
I'll be getting my HTC 10 Sprint phone tomorrow, so I would love a full step by step how to root, install twrp and finally how to install the ROM...BTW I used to run a ROM called liquid smooth....does that ROM still exists?
Is Cyanogenmod the best most stable ROM for the HTC 10 Sprint?

Im going to help the community as much as i can lol i'm going to start a separate thread on how to install Lineage sometime this weekend when i have time ..mind you this is my first time starting one so bare with me.

I can't seem to find the instructional thread..? I've been rooting & flashing HTC phones since the HTC 4G LTE, but this thing is a different beast entirely. I've unlocked via HTC Dev, installed unofficial TWRP 3.0.3-9, flashed the custom SU, & installed Viper (did all that from stock N). Viper is definitely super solid, but I've always preferred the CM/AOSP platform. I've wiped the internal like I've done a thousand times & flashed Lineage + gapps (arm64). the phone boots & gets to the lineage boot animation & sits there indefinitely. I let it sit for almost an hour, & obviously it wasn't going to boot.
What am I missing, guys? Any & all help will be greatly appreciated.

any ideas?

They dont have any roms built for the CDMA 10, notice there are no CM or AOSP roms in the SPrint htc 10 rom section. It probably didn't boot completely cause of a kernel mismatch.

there are people in the LOS thread saying they're on Sprint running it. I just can't follow their methods, which is why I was hoping for a tut.

Correct. You must be S-Off to do this. Put the .zip file, named 2PS6IMG.zip, on the root of your ext sd card, reboot to bootloader and flash it. After successfully flashing that file, you'll be able to run AOSP without issue. Like you said, download and flash. Enjoy! ?

I am seeing two different instruction steps in the posts and just want to be sure i got this right. Do we flash the sd card zip before or after flashing an AOSP rom and gapps? Also, is there any particular aosp rom that works best for this method?
