KitKat Roms won't flash? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone little confused here, im looking to install a kitkat rom on my VS980 , yes yes i know why would i wanna go 2 android versions back? Just my cup of tea i guess. Anyways whenever i try to flash kitkat roms such as CM11,SlimKat,LiquidSmooth, etc it fails to install? Ive used bootloader changer and tried all of the bootloaders to no avail. Im on kitkat bootloader as we speak and i have paranoid android lollipop on it, since thats all i could get to work. If you need more info , i shall provide it.

As loki ist patched in Kit Kat, for a custom recovery to work you also have to use the old 4.2.2 boot loader and a modified kernel to work with that. I read that the app freegee will do that all for you

Nope. Works for OS3 too. I believe the firmware is what's causing your bootloops. give it a shot.

I understand you want PA, but your firmware needs to be MM firmware. So you can either flash that or flash the official OS3 first then flash PA.

yeah i flashed back and it works fine...i am on mm bootloader and i cant use Nick's rom so i flashed zonik's which is a port.maybe the problem is with the rom.

That explains a lot. There is many problems with MM bootloader. I couldn't even flash twrp to my bootloader only f version worked correctly.
If you want to use cm you should downgrade to ll first.

No I don't think that would work due to what firmware you need to be on if its zoinks cm 13 its mm firmware if its nicks or RR its ll

Yes i know thar zoniks rom requires mm firmware...but i will downgrade to ll to flash nicks.Because i think that the sim error is a problem of zoniks rom.

Its been a while since I installed it myself but from what I remember, I believe it only worked if it was flashed over the stock g2 kitkat (or jellybean) rom. I've never really used bootstacks myself so I don't really know which one to go for, however I'd assume you could start by looking for ones made for kitkat.
Personally, I would do a clean install of the stock kk rom, reroot, flash custom recovery, and then install cm11.
