Can I flash a custom ROM made for D802 orD800 to the VS989 Verizon model and expect it to work?

Some ROMs include the Aroma configuration applet which runs at install time and gives a list of variants to choose from. This theoretically allows installation on cross variants as you are asking, but sometimes can also mess up your phone, so is not a sure thing.
But I'd say that just installing a ROM that is targeted for a D802 on a D800 is not advisable, and is risky. Be prepared to unbrick your phone, or fix a bootloop problem, or deal with some other type of problem. I myself certainly wouldn't do such a thing without first finding some posts from one or more individuals who had successfully done so.

[Q] Possibility of rooting/installing roms/recoveries?

I just ordered a G2 and I was wondering, if it comes with an android version higher than 4.2.2, maybe kitkat 4.4.2, can I still root, install recoveries and roms on it???
This is very important to me, if I can't do that it would be just a freaking huge loss.
Thanks in advance.
Depends on what model number where you purchased it from and and also what country there's a good chance it will have 4.4.2 but no way to know until you get it

Think of it like this most new devices will come with the lasted firmware.. All you need for g2 is model and think of latest firmware and start researching
Thanks

for g2 on 4.4.2 kitkat...
root.....towel root ... done, then install supersu from play store if you want control over root
custom recovery... autorec... done
Thanks all. The phone should be here in 5-9 days... if they don't f*** up. Hahaha.
I will probably post a follow-up in this thread again when that happens
Can't wait to be another lucky user of this phone!!

[Q] Root & Recovery

Acually... it has been asked a thousand times Before. And all with different versions of phone and so on.
So...I´ll make it easy. I´ll ask three things with what I think is the right answer. If anyone can verify if it is, please do so...
My G2 is the D802 International version with 4.4.2.
1: Too root use IORoot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232
2: Custom Recovery use this:

3: Flash a custom ROM: (this in my case)

Well... you quoted me and I asked the question myself for the international version, so I have no idea. But as I understand it should work with a lot of different version. Follow the links and see if you find anything there.

Buying Verizon G2 for use in Europe - flash other ROMS for 4G support?

Hey guys,
is it possible to use one of these in Europe with full 4G support? Can I flash ROMS that are meant to be used on the European model and it will fix the antenna or should I flash specific Verizon ROMS and then flash an european modem, if at all possible? I thank any input because I'm clueless.
Thanks!

1st wrong section
2nd, Not 100% sure on the bands, but you cant flash any other firmware other than Verizon unless its a custom rom, But flashing a rom wont unlock bands.
in us version missing bands totally - physically! it isnt about software but only HW ...

So you're saying there is zero chance of making it work by flashing something?

Used lg g2: atnt d802??

Hey, my friend bought a used lg g2. We've tried to identify if it's original or not by checking it with cpu-z online verification. I've found something interesting. It says that it's atnt version, but it says it's d802. How is this possible? It had cyanogenmod pre-installed..
1st thought was that it's d802 with d800 motherboard. Is it possible? If so, which roms should I install?

Can't confirm that right now, i'll check it tomorrow with my friend.
But it actually wasn't rooted. Friend checked it with root checker. That was a surprise for me too, don't all cyanogen roms come pre-rooted?

If it came with a custom ROM most likely the phones is already rooted and has twrp installed. I think you can disable SuperSU setting from developer settings in some Roms. To answer your question, yes you may have a franken phone. Which means that it is refurbished to look like a d802 whne in fact it is a d800. They change the imei and back cover so that you won't know. Do NOT attempt to update the device through lg mobile support tool it will brick your phone.

Yeah i understand that. It should have a custom recovery just for the cyanogen to be there in the first place.
I want to install Cloudy rom for him to have a better overall experience, since i have it installed on my own g2.
If i make a full backup and try installing a cloudy, can i endure any problems if i try the d800 rom?

Flashing generic ROM on Verizon LG V20

Hello all,
I have got a new LG V20 from verizon and I want to flash a standard ROM (Hopefully Android 8.0). I had a verizon Samsung note 4 and didn't manage to flash a new rom (I've used Odin, followed the procedure - which worked on other phones).
I've found this ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-h91820f-oreo-root-t3848854 and I want to flash it.
Would you know if there's anything I need to do to flash a rom? Also, if you have any help links that'd be great!
Thank you!

If you flash a H918 rom on your phone you'll brick, why not just flash a rom for your specific variant

Hi,
thank you for your response. I have seen how much bloatware and pointless Verizon apps are on the phone - which are further useless as I live in the UK so I can't really use all of the services provided.
There's no way to install a clean rom without just the basic necessary apps?
Thanks,

You'll need to unlock the bootloader, load twrp to flash roms, you can find guides in the forum
