Hello,
I know dual boot and multirom! And I'm struggling a lot with multirom, can't get it to work... I can't find the "right" kernel, some files in the thread are dead and so on.. The thread seems kind of dead to me. I was trying for days now.
So is there somebody out there, who can provide us with working links / files and an short working instruction how we can boot different roms?
My device is D802. I don't care if my priamry ROM will be a Kitkat Stock or Resurrection Rom...
I'd be very grateful! Thank you!
Can somebody who really has an overview tell us if there is a way for multi boot on the G2 at all...
As I read on, I get the impression that it's not possible because of the locked bootloeader but then I don't understad why there was a thread about multirom... And I can't read pages of the multirom thread, it's too much
We need somebody with more experience here
Thanks again
I remember that someone talk about multiboot and say that lg g2 can boot only aosp ROM with another aosp or stock and another stock because of locked bootlader

ok, thx, ****ty news :/
Also found this, but as too often, no summary, understable instructions - so for only a little circle of devs themselves in the end. That's kind of bitter.

It says e.g. you have fo flash a modem and there's a link with many different modems. So if you are not really deep in it, it is hardly usable. Also it semms to me that you have to read the whole thing to have a clue, the fiest post isn't updated (probably -on first glance)
Too bad. But I'm sticking on this. I want the multi/dual boot.
whenever i try to flash any nougat rom on my lg g2 d800 the phone goes to the lg logo and then its just a black screen so it does not actually boot into android plz help me
This is the wrong way. First go to the rom thread you tried to install and search the thread for your problem (I bet you're not the only one) or ask the dev directly. Thats easier for you and the devs. All Nougat roms you can get atm are experimental and they are not bug free. Every response helps the devs to build a better Android.
For crDroid you have to flash Lambda-Infinito-Nougat-Beta-N9-D800-12072016.zip and it will boot.
I need some help, anyone, please! I have a Lg G2 VS980, rooted supersu by chainfire version 2.79 latest, i guess. twrp 3.2.0-1 by blastagator, and running resurrection remix 5.4.7(Lollipop 5.1.1) from stock rom VS98024a which i pushed with lgtool14, i believe. From stock VS98011a which i also installed a year ago when my ParanoidAndroid os Lollipop rom 5.1.1 just stopped working all together dont know why, still. tried flashing over that with lollipop CrDroid rom Lollipop 5.1.1 when the phone bricked. So I proceeded to start from scratch again learning as i go, im kinda good like that sometimes. so i did all of this all is working well and good again, except for one thing, when I try to flash any custom marshmallow even nougat roms they install like the lollipop ones fine, matching micro Gapps packages every time for marshmallow and nougat roms. wipe the dalvik and cache properly, all is good til reboot of the system. Lg logo comes up then black screen and nothing else ever, Ive let it sit for hours and nothing. i dont know what i am missing here i know its possible to go past lollipop but im at a loss here. ive searched til my eyes bleed but there is no comprehensive guide on how this is accomplished and what to do with the black screen issue im facing. i dont know if i need to do a bootstack change or something else i dont know about. If i could get some guidance here maybe a solution to this issue. hell i dont care if i got to start from scratch again. something guys. if you need any info i havent provided ask. and yes i have all the proper latest drivers, adb, fastboot, and even latest android studio from google, which i dont have a clue as to how to use. im not a noob but by no means a developer, lol.
I've been running Cloudy G2.2 for a year an a half. It's given the phone enough legs to mostly make it through 2017. However, about every other week I have to restore my latest backup when Bluetooth stops working because it saw too many devices. This wouldn't be terrible if it wasn't for Authy refusing to sync my newer 2-Factor auth accounts. I think I've convinced myself that the G6 (US997) is my next phone, but now is a silly time to buy as the price should drop like a rock as the next wave of flagships come out.
I'm hoping to make it another couple months and was wondering anyone's experiences moving from Cloudy G2.2 (or other ROMs) to the latest lineage? From what I've read, it's very stable. However, I'm on Kit Kat bootloader, so it doesn't seem like this will be a straightforward process. I was hoping to get some experiences from people who made the same move before starting.
I currently have:
LG G2 D800
Root using stumproot (I think, it's been a while) with supersu installed
TWRP 2.7.0.0 installed by autorec
Cloudy G2.2 KOT49I
So, after some research, I set off to install LineageOS. In hindsight, this might have been a bad idea since it specifically only mentions the D802 in the title. However, it listed links for D800 builds, though they were crossed out.
I updated TWRP to this version by Blastagator and that was painless. I then wiped the phone, made a fresh backup and flashed the latest nightly of LineageOS, and the latest GApps (Mini) for 7.1. That was disappointing since I got the quick "LG logo" followed by a blank screen, that I later found was mentioned in the same Lineage post. Should've read farther.
I think the issue is that I'm on the wrong bootloader. I thought I was on KitKat which the post requires, but in order to enter recovery, I have to press enter three times (rather than using volume buttons to navigate), which indicates I'm on JellyBean bootloader.
So, this is the scary step that I was hoping to avoid. My big fear is that I run Linux on my desktop, so I can't use the LG Flash Tool. As long as I can keep a working recovery, I have backups, so I'm fairly safe. Following the Blastagator bootloader post, I'm not really sure how you go back and forth between bootloaders so easily as it suggests. Is that really as simple as loading the zip file on the phone and installing it in TWRP?
Is there a safer way to handle this?
From my experience, it is that easy. Simply install the zip file and you have loaded a new boot loader. Also, I was in the same boat as you with Cloudy rom and moved to Nougat with crDroid. However it's not stable and I am considering looking for something else more stable but fast like crDroid.

When you updated your bootloader, were you still able to run the Cloudy ROM before you switched to crDroid? Once I flash the KitKat bootloader, am I only able to use the Nougat ROMs? My big concern is that there might be something a bit off with my bootloader, so I won't be able to get back to TWRP.
I think there's something a bit off with my bootloader as is, because about a year ago I flashed back to stock Jellybean, and took all the OTA updates. However, when the phone tried to take the KitKat update, it softbricked, and could only be recovered using the LG Update Tool, which I don't have access to anymore. Because of this, I'm a little worried that just dropping on the Blastagator KitKat bootloader may have some atypical issues.
i m using it for a while. u know, on Los you won't be able to use lg features such as qslide, qmemo, plug&pop, knockcode etc. Only worth it if you want your phone to look a little bit fresher and lighter or you need a newer android version for some reason. Else, don't take the risk if you can't use flashtool. You can consider installing another kitkat rom. There are lots and they are nice :]

My primary issue is that KitKat (or whatever Cloudy G2.2 is?) has the old Android bluetooth bug where once it sees too many devices, it stops connecting to anything. I have to make sure to turn off my phone if I go somewhere like an airport, and have been having to restore my clean Cloudy backup about once a month. It's getting pretty frustrating. On the other hand, I'm hoping to upgrade to an LG G6 (US997) in a month or two when the V30 release pushes down on prices. So, if it's a case of potentially hard-bricking my G2 at the worst possible time, I should hold off flashing.
I think you need hybrid bootstack for android 7.

That makes sense, but will I not be able to use my Cloudy 2.2 backup after that? It says that the hybrid bootstack will only boot CM 12.1, CM13, and LP stock roms.

These questions if this works with that or that are easier to answer for yourself by reading what goes with what.
Just Google LG G2 bootstack and you can probably find the ones you need for any available rom.
I use hybrid on Marshmallow 6.0.1 but I tried Nougat 7.1.2 too, it works.
I'm a bit tired of my Pixel and want to go back to my v20, but I loaded LineageOS on it last year but it's so buggy and the second screen doesn't work.
I'm looking for a rom with second screen support, is there one? If not - how can I get my v20 back to stock and accept OTA again? I'm on Verizon if that matters.
I really just want something as stable as possible ideally with the second screen
I'm using AO Rom, on Oreo, without issue...it has the 2nd screen.
There's a version of lineage with 2nd screen but I've not trie it and I think it is also Oreo.

Where can I get the AO Rom?
See here:
Where are the Alpha Omega ROM threads? I wanted to search them for GPS help.
Does anyone know where the Alpha Omega ROM threads are? I'm on AO Oreo on both the US996 and VS995. I was going to search in them for GPS issues (on the VS995), but I can't find the threads. Anyone know where I can find some GPS help and/or AO...
