I know this might be stupid question but I don't have any experience in flashing etc.
So I have LG G2 D800 with 4.2.2 Software version D80010q, I want to update it to kitkat.
Do I need to Root , install recovery or can I achieve it by download kitkat stock firmware and flash it with LG Flash tool?
I have an LG G2 D802. I have TWRP installed on it and was planning to flash CloudyG3 Rom on it but I read that I might not get full performance if I flash CloudyG3 when on JellyBean. So what should I do now? How can I upgrade my phone to KitKat if I don't have stock recovery?

Hey
It doesn't matter on which stock firmware or ROM you are, just follow the install instructions properly.
In CloudyG3 thread, at "installing" it says "flash KitKat baseband" this is for users who come from JB based ROMs
Edit: Sorry..read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52483656&postcount=2507
Follow this tutorial to flash a clean KitKat firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 but use this link to download the flash tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190 (it might be newer than in the tutorial)
And you can also download the firmware files from here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/firmware-Lg+G2-Tutti-36.html
Hi all
Didn't want to post in the official devs thread so I thought here would be most appropriate
I fresh installed kdz for 5.02 on my Australian lg g2 d802T with root and twrp. All good.
I tried to install blisspop 3.5 using the instructions
Boot into twrp,
Install bootstack 802 from lg devs
Install ROM
Install gapps
However after all this I have endless boot logo for blisspop.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hmmm you flashed a d802 bootstack correct? Don't you need a special d802T modem? I get a bootloop when I use a d802 modem on my d806 (same device, similar but not identical modem).
I realised had to wipe system and data first. Whoops.
Lg g2 so complicated to flash compared to nexus 5
i have a new LG G2 d802 on kitkat 4.4.2 i need the easiest way to root and install Twrp recovery to start flashing my first rom please .
Follow the directions on the site. Just read it a few times and make sure you understand what you are doing before you do it. There is no really easy way to understand what you are doing without reading
Update to lollipop than use srktool to get root and twrp
i just want to know some thing here :
i have a LG G2 D802 base was KITKAT
then i rooted and install custom recovery
i flashed lolipop based rom withe the right LP bootsatak and i did that OK everything went normal
now what if i want to flash a KITKAT based Rom should i flash anything before that baseband or bootstak or what ???
My phone was stuck and I used this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 to install with tot method.
It worked and my phone was functional again.
I rooted again and installed Twrp with TWRP Manager application.
I wanted to install resurrection remix rom lollipop, in the instructions it said to update the baseband so I did through here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=12880.
The problem is I cannot install any rom or bootstack now from recovery because it says "this package is for d802, this is a lg g2".
One thing I realised is that the tot version is JB and the baseband is KK.
I repeated the tutorial from the beginning for the tot file but in recovery I get the same message.
Do I have to revert the baseband by flashing another one?
I want to get from the current stock JB rom to a Lollipop or Marsmallow custom rom.
What do I need to do?
thanks

if you are on jb you need to install KK then LP then CM
read here. you just have to do the same use tot. for your variant... root/autorec kk for recovery from KK rom.
install bootstacks for variant/ find flashable zip kdz for your varian this will be 5.0.2 stock lollipop. and same procedure use all the files for your varian bu this time use the required files you need for lollipop.

My phone is LG G2 D802 international version.
With the tot file I installed it says now version 4.2.2 so it is jellybean right?
What do you mean do the same?
in the thread with the instructions, it has a folder with tot files, the rest of them are kdz there are no kitkat tot files.
You are saying to install kitkat kdz, root and then install the stock lollipop? but if I follow the same way won't I lose root and everything?
And what bootstacks to install?
If you can be more specific it would help, thanks

yes 4.2.2 is JB.
every time yull loose root and twrp, when you move from JB to KK to LP.
you have to root. add twrp. each time unless the rom you install have root. like my d800 for LP it has root only i dont know about d802's .
some are TOT some are KDZ so ignore it in my case KK is TOT. TOT or KDZ are meant stock firmwares no root no twrp.
yes like i said above youll loose root and twrp. they should have root and twrp for JB. in the thread. i have never been to jelly bean but to KK yes and i had to rooted, install autorec for KK and installed twrp. then update the twrp with thermal twrp 2.8.7.3 from blastagator.
and download this bootstacks for my varian 5.0.2 KK bumped you use your variant.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/lg-g2-bootstacks-t3173715
not sure if you ll need the JB LOKI for the jump from JB to KK from the link above.
then i had flahshable kdzz lollipop and installed after beign roote, and had twrp, and flashed bootstacks. then i could flash stock LP.
and same you root, add twrp and update twrp. using the required files for LP.
so if you rea in JB am not sure if to go to KK you need the loki bumped that part i dont know
ok, I will try to do what you suggest when I have some free time.
What I don't get is if I flash the stock KK rom from the thread why root it and add custom recovery If I am going to flash stock lollipop after that.
Thank you very much for your responses

i think none od the stock firmawares KDZ or TOT have root or custom recoveries twrp. i have d800 they dont.
does the d802 have them? if yes then dont do it . but as far as i know its a image rom from LG they dont offer rooted phones.. so you must have a custom recovery twrp and to install a twrp first you must be rooted.. everytime you update from JB/KK?LP you loose root and custom recoveries wich are needed to flash rom
maybe from JB to KK you dont need but for LP you do i think theres is no TOT or KDZ file for LP. if am right.
and yes i guess from JB to KK you just need TOT and flash tools..
like i said ive never been into JB.
