Hello people, unfortunately I have no time to read this big forum in order to get the informations I'm asking for in this thread, so I hope you understand and could contribute giving me the infos, it won't take much time. So here are the questions:
(before you proceed, I'm at the moment, using stock 5.0.2 ROM, unrooted, in my d802)
1. Should I flash CM 12.1 over Lollipop stock ROM or it's better to go back to KitKat stock ROM before?
2. What's the best method to root d802?
3. In order to get CM 12.1 I should: root -> install twrp bumped -> flash CM12.1 -> flash gapps. Is that right?
Thank you in advance
ypu need to read..we all did at some point.. but click on my signature where it says HERE and it will take you to guides how to's and fixes loo at root and use what ever workd for you.. remeber to use only d802 files. for you d802. and have in mind you may have a refurbished phone.. sometimes they say d802 when motherboard is d800-ls980...
root.. the install autorec from playstore.. install twrp... search for thermal twrp from blastagator and update that twrp to the thermal one.
also flash hybridbootstacks for your variant.. install in twrp... then reboot twrp not to system but from twrp into twrp again to take effect.. then flash rom and gapps.
Question..is it a must that he updates to thermal twrp from the Auto rec version twrp 2.8? Is it because of the "bump"..not sure what that is

Hello,
sometimes I am reading that some users are installing TWRP via AutoRec.
But sometimes I am also reading that some users install Bump!ed versions of TWRP by simply flashing it directly via Flashify for example.
Are there any advantages/disadvantages comparing those methods?
Or would both give the same results?
What is currently considered the best way to install TWRP on the LG G2 when TWRP has not been installed yet?
Regards

It depends on the roms you will be using, if you're going to use a bumped ROM then using the latest stock base and flashing twrp though flashify is the cleanest method, but if the ROM you're using isn't bumped you need the jelly bean bootloader and thus should use autorec. Note that you can install bumped ROMs on the jelly bean bootloader but you CAN NOT install non bumped ROMs on the kitkat bootloader. If you are using a bumped setup and flash a non bumped ROM, it will boot loop. If you don't have a BUMPED ROM still on your storage, you will need to factory reset through download mode or fastboot (whichever you have, some flashable bootstacks purposefully break download mode to enable fastboot. I personally prefer download mode, if I can't get to an adb prompt I'd rather just flash a kdz).

Hey wq.
I very recently installed AutoRec on my D802, which has the latest 4.4.2 KK. It works flawlessly, and I recommend it. I believe the .apk installs TWRP 2.7.0.0, which has worked for me very well, and I have installed at least 15 different ROMs with it so far.
Hello,
thank you very much for your fast and detailed answers.
So, let's assume someone uses AutoRec to install TWRP for the first time on a LG G2, which only installs an old version of TWRP (version 2.7.0.0).
Which TWRP version should one then use to update to the latest version of TWRP?
Would you use the blastagator version from over there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705
Or would you use the official version from over there:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/197
And how would you install it?
By simply booting into TWRP 2.7.0.0 (provided by AutoRec) and then from there flashing the latest TWRP zip file?

I wanted to flash cloudy rom which is bumped.
So i straight away used flashify to flash bumped recovery and then flashed the rom..
No autorec needed.
I flashed blastgator's twrp with thermal control.
Currently I am running a LG G2 LS980 4.4.2 zvd. Rooted via stumproot. Twrp rrecovery 2.8.5.1. I also am running affliction custom rom found in the sprint lg g2 section. The problem i am having its that when I try to load a different custom rom I always get stuck in boot loop. I always do a full wipe and factory reset. I have tried liquidsmooth, blisspop, cm12, validus and a couple others, always gets stuck in boot loop. Today i did a full wipe again and installed affliction Rom again and it worked but the others still won't. I have also tried to downgrade my radio to zv8 or zv7 since that has been recommended on some threads i have read, but the files i downloaded off of a link found in here say they are corrupt when i try to load them and it doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to help me?
Hello, it sounds like you might have the wrong bootloader. You need a zv8 radio/modem and a jb bootloader for aosp lollipop ROMs.
So i downloaded zv8 radio zip from a link shared in another thread. Do you know another source for those? How do I change my bootloader? I have tried looking for that but have not had much luck.
Google "LG G2 modem" and the first result should be a xda thread with all the modems for all the modems for all the lg g2 variants. Download the ls980 zv8 modem. For the bootloader you need an app called autorec. Google "LG G2 autorec" and download autorec for the ls980 and run the app. Make sure you have the twrp 2.8.5.1 zip on your device because autorec also installs twrp 2.7.0.0 which is old. Just go to recovery and flash 2.8.5.1 to update twrp.
I will try to get new zip for zv8. Autorec is how i got twrp on my phone. I have upgraded twrp to 2.8.5.1. Although autorec does not show up in my app list currently, maybe when i installed affliction rom that app left by i kept twrp.
So i reinstalled autorec and upgraded twrp to the most current. I also redownloaded the zip for zv8 modems. When i try to install zv8 zip in twrp but it tells me the zip is corrupt and will not load.....
Hi guys, I've buy the lg g2 d802 just yesterday.
I really want to try miui v7.
So I've downgrade lollipop to kk trough kdz and everything goes fine. now starts the problems.
I cannot find a good tool to root and I use a one click root + twrp that root the phone fine but when it ask me to reboot to download mode, it stuck at finding new port.
but beside that the phone was rooted (i've check that with root checker).
Then I really don't find any tool or guide to install TWRP recovery, and so I have to install autorec for KitKat. that is the only tool that works for me (twrp manager doesn't work).
So I install with twrp miui v7 gtbluesky.
But many apps don't work, such as camera.
Somewhere I've read that autorec for kitkat downgrade the bootloader to JB and miui needs KK bootloader, maybe is this the problem?
can you advice me a good tool for root and install twrp on G2? So I can have KK bootstack and install miui?
thank you a lot in advance and sorry for noob question

1. if you on KK use towelroot.
2.use autoreck for KK to install twrp.
3.update twrp with blastagator thermal 2.8.7.3 when installing do a reboot into recovery to boo into new twrp.
if you installing a rom that new KK bootstacks bumped download your variant here.

what recovery version you have?
Ok, so I got an AT&T Galaxy S4 running OC3, and I want to put a custom ROM on. I've been reading so many threads over the past few days, and want to make sure that I have everything ready to go before I brick my phone (the volume up button is stuck so I can't get into download mode if I brick it, will that be a problem?)
1. I have rooted using Kingroot. Root check app says I have root
2. I installed busybox
3. I installed safestrap 3.72 (I tried uninstalling 3.72, and installing 3.75, but it says old version installed. Will this be a problem?)
4. Downloaded and installed the NC1 flasher spk, but have not flashed yet because I want to make sure I'm doing everything ok
5. This is where I really want to make sure I have everything in order... I'm going to list the zip I have that I think I need to flash, in the order that I think I need to flash them:
a. Goldeneye ROM v.53 (unless someone has a better ROM they think I should use)
b. 5.0 nano Gapps
c. SuperSU (unless I don't need to)
d. OC3 Stock Kernel
e. OC3 modules
f. 0C3 Modem
g. xposed
6. Reboot (then install xposed installer apk, reinstall busybox/safestrap apk/nc1 flasher apk, other apps, etc)
Please let me know if this is the right path. And is not being able to get into download mode going to be a problem?
I don't know where you got the 5.0 nano Gapps step from, but you shouldn't need those. SuperSU never hurts to flash so that's fine. Just make sure you have the recovery flashable zip for the OC3 kernel since you can't get into download, but you should be able to reboot to download from Safestrap anyway if necessary. You may also want to boot into the ROM once before flashing xposed.

Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I'm just used to flashing gapps from every other device I have flashed haha. So you don't need to in this method?
And does it matter that I can't update to safestrap 3.75? Will 3.72 work?
And thanks for the heads up on flashing xposed. When I boot the ROM, do I need to reinstall safestrap/NC1 flasher to get back so I can flash xposed?
One more question (sorry for all the questions ), do you have any opinion on the Goldeneye ROM vs any other compatible lollipop ROMs? And are there any Marshmallow ROMs that would be compatible?

Apologies for being away from XDA for a bit. You don't need Gapps since it's not an AOSP ROM. Either Safestrap should work once you flash the NC1 kernel I believe. You will need NC1 Flasher, Safestrap should still be installed though (the recovery, not the app though) or you should also be able to use Flashfire if you have it. No MM Roms are compatible, and Goldeneye was a good ROM when I used it. Personally I just rooted stock and customized it myself, but Goldeneye is good.
If you've already gone and flashed, then I hope all has gone well and whatnot.
Hello,
I've installed twrp on my lg g2 802. Using twrp i tried to install lineageos, but on reboot the screen remains black. I see the monitor on but nothing happens. I have to force the reboot. I can still go into recovery but i don't understand where is the problem.
I already tried to wipe everything, and i installed latest nightly of lineageos (no gapps).
Da you have an idea?
I have this same exact problem. I hope a solution is out there!
i installed from a kitkat. Maybe this can be a problem? Should i install lineage from a lollipop?
Flash this

I got LineageOS to work!
It was a long grind of reading various posts on here and looking up other info on google, but I finally got my phone to run LineageOS.
The three things that I think are key are:
Making sure your phone is starting off with kitkat. I wasn't able to root my phone with lollipop. Stumproot, towelroot, and ioroot all didn't work. Once I downgraded to kitkat, I rooted successfully with ioroot.
After getting TWRP, updating it to 3.1.0. I had to first get an older version and then flash 3.1.0
Change the bootloader to kitkat if it isn't on it already. I used Bootloader Changer.

Yes u need lp bootstacks. Or you can simply get to the stock lollipop using flashtool and then flash lineage os
Thank you for support. Now it works
