I am on stock kitkat 4.4.2 d802 right now I am thinking about rooting my phone by towelroot and installing autorec so after rooting will I be able to update to android l with root on? and if I install custom rom e.g Cloudyg3 then is it possible to come back to stock rom with nandroid backup only that is without kdz method thank u!!
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
Hello there!
So i just got an used G2 and i've been trying to install TWRP but i can't get it done.
I tried so many methods including AutoRec and all i get is an error when booting in recovery.
I've seen alot of topics about this but its all old from android 4.4 and i'm running stock 5.0.2.
Even on TWRP website there isn't an option for the D802 model.
Is there any way i can install a custom ROM on the phone? Any fix for that?
use blastagator's twrp... not the official one
search for "blastagator twrp bumped" on lg g2 forums...
although i saw that his download site is down atm... but there is a mirror on dorimanx server too
Thank you for your answer but i just manage to make it work.
Flashed stock KitKat 4.4.2 then followed the steps with the old guides.
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.
Hey, i recently upgrade from stock KK to stock LP and rooted my phone, now i want to install Cloudy, what should i do next? I don't have any recovery and also it says i require KK Bootloader, how do i know i have it? Sorry i don't know much about this but i really want to install this rom

All steps are listed here. Start with Recovery > Autorec (for your model).
Good Luck!
