[Verizon LG G2] Jimi Mack:
Yes but remember to wipe in recovery before flashing.

Ok. Thanks for letting us know!

Does this mean my favorite s3 rom Clean rom may b on my g2 soon?

You are the man and I'm glad to see you working on the g2 now
[Verizon LG G2] jayochs:
apparently there's no way to bc of a bug in TWRP or something. i tried like hell and couldn't get it, but some poeple did and it causd that TWRP bootloop or something..
[Verizon LG G2] Walter21026:
This is kinda worrisome. I'm not questioning the developers or anything but if a package is broken from a bad download and loops the device how are we to recover? Has the download mode been addressed?
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
That sounds like great conversation for the twrp thread!
[Verizon LG G2] Lesser Version:
Does the TWRP Manager app boot into recovery? On another thread, it seems to be advocated to use for booting in to recovery without the use of hard buttons? How else do we get into recovery?? VZW version.
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
Like the above, sounds like a great question for the twrp thread.
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
I placed an OTA'ed Loki'ed Boot Image in post #3 for those that have not accepted the OTA.

Flash that along with the ROM and you will have the full OTA.

If you have the OTA then disregard the loki'd boot image.
[Verizon LG G2] mzimand:
You are the man!
[Verizon LG G2] jayochs:
:p your sarcasm burns
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
Indeed, indeed!

But for real, how do you get into recovery without the OS?
[Verizon LG G2] jparasita:
I can confirm this working 100%
[Verizon LG G2] jmill75:
Titanium allows you to boot into recovery.
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
I did find this when I held both volume buttons and power...

Anyone see that before?
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
But to what the others are saying... What if you are bootlooped or soft bricked?
[Verizon LG G2] emplox:
You can also boot into recovery using the goomanager app. Everyone is worried about nothing. Just do not use the voldn + power method of getting into recovery and you are fine. Flash away....
[Verizon LG G2] Lesser Version:
:good:
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
Yeah, but if you are bootlooped.. or soft bricked and you cant get into the OS...

How do you get into recovery?

Its a good question.
[Verizon LG G2] Walter21026:
I did ask this in the twrp thread but it went unanswered. That's the only reason I asked here. But I think it's a viable question
[Verizon LG G2] emplox:
scrosler: feel free to use this on your OP if you wish.

Then you need to go back to stock, re-root, and then put TWRP back on...

If it's after taking the OTA when you weren't on stock recovery user this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2451696

Remember...DO NOT ACCEPT THE OTA if you are on TWRP. You need to go back to stock recovery before accepting OTA. I've attached the stock recovery

HOW TO GO BACK TO STOCK RECOVERY

unzip and place recovery.img on your root of sdcard

install proper drivers

enable usb debugging

plug in phone and use internet connections -> ethernet

verify you can see the devices in adb using 'adb devices'

once you see it

adb shell

su

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

press ctrl + c to get out of adb shell

adb reboot recovery to test it's stock

hold power for like 5-10 seconds until phone reboots to get out of recovery

Feel free to press thanks :)

[Verizon LG G2] emplox:
I updated my post even more....should be everyone needs at this point to get out of trouble and to update to the OTA from original stock rom. And btw...thank you scrosler! Can't wait for your clean rom :)
[Verizon LG G2] Beaumac:
Can the stock recovery be flashed from Flashify? Thats how I flashed TWRP
[Verizon LG G2] Walter21026:
Im waiting for this one too, i was an avid clean rom user on the nexus 10 for some time, these roms just freaking work! nuff said. appreciate your work here BTW Scott :good:
[Verizon LG G2] emplox:
I've never used flashify, so i have no idea.
[Verizon LG G2] jayochs:
scott, i saw that screen the other day when trying too lol i was like, uh oh..wtf did i break now..
[Verizon LG G2] neckbonest:
reporting back after flashing without being on the OTA and all went smooth.

this was not the loki zip. i flashed before that was updated

i did flash the new radio with this cause i wasnt sure if it was in the rom.
[Verizon LG G2] drkow19:
This is great, a rom already! I used to use CleanROM on the HTC Rezound for a while. I just installed TWRP using the "loki" method, but I am confused as to what you [MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION] mean when you lokified the boot.img. Do I just flash the zip from TWRP? I was not able to do the OTA so I need to flash this. What is loki/how do you use it to flash things on this phone? (Yes I googled already). Also, for the sake of completeness, does order matter when flashing the rom and the boot? I'm almost positive it does not since you are not overwriting anything in either order, but that was the first thing that I had to stop and think about reading through this thread.
[Verizon LG G2] b33zy682:
Agreed. I am on TWRP as well and i am not on the OTA. I'm assuming we flash the loki'd OTA boot.img then flash the rom no matter what recovery we are on correct?
[Verizon LG G2] neckbonest:
i flashed without flashing the loki with 0 issues
[Verizon LG G2] Walter21026:
Before i begin flashing just want to make sure about the OTA zip. Do we flash the Loki'ed OTA zip then reboot system then boot back to recovery and then flash the rom? or do we flash the zip then the rom, or just flash the rom and the zip? whats the correct method?

Edit: sorry looks like people are asking the same question as i was typing this.
[Verizon LG G2] Beaumac:
I tried and it booted into the dead android guy with the red triangle. Not recommended.
[Verizon LG G2] emplox:
actually that's a good thing...because that is stock recovery.
[Verizon LG G2] drkow19:
Something odd... I did factory reset from TWRP, but left internal storage intact (standard factory reset), then flashed this rom. Got it all set up and I am looking at my storage, it says 11.35 GB of system data! It should be around 8 GB like stock. I can't figure out why it is large or what I can do about it. Maybe you need to wipe everything prior to installing, even internal storage?

EDIT: I may have had a lot of data left over from large apps that were installed. I am wiping everything and starting again. I need my space, man! I really miss expandable storage :(
[Verizon LG G2] Walter21026:
Based on what i do everyday one my device i would say this rom is working very well :good: This Rom is indicative of Scotts work on his roms they are always solid, thats all i need is stability, good work sir! I will be throwing a donation your way very soon
[Verizon LG G2] dmbfan13:
I'm in the same boat. I assume I just flash the "lokified boot.img" in TWRP. Can I do this just to get the OTA and not flash the rom?
[Verizon LG G2] Walter21026:
I would say yes. I flashed the boot.img TWRP (its a zip) and booted back into stock, all was well so I went back to flash the rom in recovery. The only odd thing was when I flashed the OTA zip the first time and booted back into the stock OS i checked for updates to see if it worked and it said i had an update that was 3.0 mb, idk it was weird but i didnt accept it. everything works fine
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
Yeah, I thought something was about to go bad.. Then I read it and was like... Damn, thats cool!

If you were on the OTA then you may not have needed the Radio. Not sure how the OTA came about ot even what was in it... I had a copy of the ota and its sooooo different than anything I have ever seen before.

If something is "Loki'ed" (at least by me) that means its already set just to flash.

You dont have to worry about running loki.

I dont know what other recovery is out there besides stock and twrp?

Yeah, lol, I was going to say... Thats a good thing!

Thanks Walter!

The lokified boot image is for people who do not have the OTA. It is the boot image after OTA. I dont even know if its different than what was on BEFORE the OTA. I dont know. No clue what so ever.

Can anyone confirm what kernel version was before and after OTA?

May not even need to ever flash that boot image. Just dont know...
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
You know what...

I just realized how to end the confusion...

If you want to flash this ROM regardless of ANYTHING....

You must have twrp and you must flash both files in same session...

Done! How simple is that?
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
To simplify this and end all confusion...

Change in install instructions...

Does that make it simple for everyone?
[Verizon LG G2] dmbfan13:
I like this! Clear and to the point! Thanks!!!
[Verizon LG G2] cslingerland:
Sorry for my ignorance but since we have the boot.img is it going to be possible to start making kernel edits or do we have to have an unlocked boot loader for that
[Verizon LG G2] Mikef3j:
When that happens what do/did you do?
[Verizon LG G2] jrgilbert79:
The real deal

Thought I'd chime in. TWRP and rooted ...I only flashed the ROM not the boot loki and I have OTA!!! The worst that can happen is it takes for hell and ever. Its scary. After flashing when I wiped dalvik my phone shut down completely again scary as HELL!!! Held in power and I booted..All is well. The worst part was using Titanium Backup to re-delete the bloatware. Cheers!!! :cowboy:
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
The image he sa was the stock android recovery.

Its what you should see if you dont have a customer recovery installed.
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
Why not just open the zip file and delete it before you install the ROM? So much easier :good:
[Verizon LG G2] mzimand:
What image do you mean?
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
He means the ROM and used the wrong terminology.
[Verizon LG G2] dmbfan13:
I just wanna thank you again [MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION]. Not only for this ROM for us Verizon users, but for a base for others to build upon! Nice work!
[Verizon LG G2] Beaumac:
HA! Well I just learned something today. :D

I held the power button down and connected the USB to the computer. It booted back up. I then flashed TWRP because I thought I screwed something up but apparently, Flashify works for returning to stock recovery too.

Thanks for the responses guys.
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
Your Welcome!

Can you use flashify to flash twrp?

I keep returning to stock to test stuff so was hoping to save a step.
[Verizon LG G2] trevoc1:
Confirmed flashify option 4. Works on Verizon
[Verizon LG G2] Walter21026:
I used flashify to flash TWRP 2.6.3.1 today, it worked fine for me.
[Verizon LG G2] trevoc1:
Go read up on WACOMalt post on how to install TWRP and see option 4.. it's easy breezy..

Yeah, Im pretty good with the command and line and ADB, I know how to isntall it. I just wanted to know if that program worked so save me a few minutes of time.

[Verizon LG G2] hoola20055:
I flashed boot image then the stock Rom. Wiped cache and the same thing happen to me the phone shut down. I was like oh no. But it booted fine and all is well
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
Did it shut down or did it go to screen off?

Was it during install that this happened or after you rebooted?
[Verizon LG G2] hoola20055:
No, the install went perfectly fine. It's when I wiped the cache. It started cleaned cache then just shut off. I thought the screen just went black so I hit the power button and nothing happen. I Let it set there a while just thinking maybe it was doing its thing and the screen would come back on. I eventually just held the power button down s few seconds and the phone booted fine with new current stock rooted.
[Verizon LG G2] jrgilbert79:
Yea but according to the dictionary

ROM dictates that its Read Only in some fashion. Image does not. I think we all have been using the wrong term for 4-5 years but thats ok. We'll go with it.
[Verizon LG G2] Bxrider117:
Should I try and download this thru Goo manager, every time I do it thru the chrome browser it ends up being unsuccessful.
[Verizon LG G2] dmbfan13:
Hey Scott, I flashed the OTA zip you have in TWRP. Upon reboot, my software version still says VS98010B. Shouldn't it be 11B?
[Verizon LG G2] jscharf10:
I honestly Dont think this is anything on Scotts end I haven't flashed the OTA yet because I just Dont feel like downloading 2 gigs lol, however I did flash the LG stock browser an after install I wiped cache/dalvik an same thing happened to me! I had one of those oh sh*t moments, I should have been happy with chrome! Lol but after like a minute I held the power key down an it finally booted. I think the is a problem on TWRP end
[Verizon LG G2] AmbroseAI:
OK, I'll chime in here as well. I think some people are having issues with this install because they are not waiting long enough for the process to complete. Here is how I did it this morning:

1. d/l the rom and boot image to my computer

2. transferred them both to my phone

3. rebooted into recovery (twrp)

4. loaded both zips for install (boot.img first)

5. started the install

6. took a shower :D

7. checked phone, saw installation was successful

8. clicked on wipe cache and dalvik

9. brushed teeth, shaved, got dressed

10. pressed power button momentarily (screen was dark), saw process was complete

11. rebooted phone

12. got depressed because there isn't anything else for me to do to to the phone yet :)
[Verizon LG G2] chrisexv6:
This.

I think the crackflasher in us all is used to 200MB ROMs, not 1.5GB :)
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
THis is what I said in the OP, the phone takes FOREVER.

The power down you see is only on Verizon and you guys should talk to TWRP about that.

My phone only goes black when installing and it powers back on. Same goes for wiping... Mine takes about 3 minutes but it gets done...
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
I dont think flashing anything I made will change your version number and I dont have an OTA zip...

I have a lokie'd boot image that will not really change anything.

I think there might be some confusion here. The boot.image would not change your version number.
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
I need someone to test something real quick.

Its only for those that are not afraid to return to stock in case of soft brick

I dont have VZW phone so I cant test.

But I rebuilt this ROM to auto flash a loki image. this will eliminate any and all questions and will also let someone not on the OTA flash the ROM without worrying about flashing two files.

Can I get some one to test?

Its on my website here: VZW Stock Rooted ROM - VS98011A - V2

My tester is not available right now and this will just take "10 seconds" of your time ;) Then I will then be able to move forward with CleanROM for the VZW G2 :good:
[Verizon LG G2] Bxrider117:
I'm on my lunch break and I'm going to try and download it worth in the next 30 minutes and flash it. I have not installed the version of this room.
[Verizon LG G2] mzimand:
On mine it changed the software version from 10b to 11a. Also changed the kernel version.

Also want to add that it is running great and also thanks for once again making my phone better
[Verizon LG G2] AmbroseAI:
Just got home and saw this. Did someone already do this for you, or do you still need the help?

Edit: Downloading now, just in case you need me to test, but d/l says 58 minutes left! :eek:

Edit 2: Got it. Standing by. Let me know...
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
Flash it and let us know :good:

If this works as I want it to... Life will be good!

(Get it?)
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
Yeah, I think they just flashed the kernel and thought it was an OTA. And expected to see the increment in build values.

This is why I am making the all in one, single shebang-abang zip that the other guy is testing now will solve all problems, confusion, etc...

It worked perfect on ATT but I just need to have it tested on VZW.

Then we move to CleanROM...
[Verizon LG G2] AmbroseAI:

[Verizon LG G2] Scott:

Making a rom with no device to test then asking someone with big balls to test it is killing me!

As smart as I "think" I am, there is always room for error... especially when I do this stuff at 4:00am :p
[Verizon LG G2] AmbroseAI:

[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
Nah, he has not chimed in yet... I assume he is cursing my name right now...

He Ninja'ed me
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
Version 2 is posted!​

Its the ROM with OTA and the boot.img pre-lokied.

Flash it like any other ROM. No additional flashing is needed.
[Verizon LG G2] AmbroseAI:
Again... take your time! This was my method:

1. Flash rom

2. Run out and pick up pizza I had ordered

3. Wipe Cache and Dalvik

4. Help daughter start load of laundry

5. Reboot phone :laugh:
[Verizon LG G2] mzimand:
Scott,

Any idea as to why the cache takes so long to wipe?

Also I notice that the phone reboots after a cache wipe so if you wipe cache before you flash a file the phone reboots.

I wonder if it has anyting to do with TWRP?
[Verizon LG G2] dmbfan13:
Are others having trouble downloading? I'm trying from my PC and phone and I cant get it to go past 0%...

Just so im clear as i want the best install. No factory reset before flashing? I have always done that.
[Verizon LG G2] AmbroseAI:
No factory reset, and didn't lose any data. Sweet!
[Verizon LG G2] bckrupps:
Im an idiot. I was thinking this was a clean rom test with bloatware removed . Im way to excited. I should be working but xda is way more fun lol
[Verizon LG G2] Walter21026:
[MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION] just threw a small donation your way Scott, hopefully you can buy yourself a few beers man, hey and thanks for supporting our G2!
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
I havent wiped cahces but if thats when the phone reboots I would post that in the TWRP thread.

I have only done Factory resets in recovery, it takes me 3 minutes or so, then the phone is phone.

Im not the type of guy to wipe cache, when I flash, a factory reset dumps all of data except SD card.

I test so much flashing and wiping data is brutal at this point.

But yes, its 1 of two things, TWRP needs some fine tunning, 2. The phone wipes cache really slowly.

Im going with number 1 because the phone is sick fast!

I always factory reset also...

Haha!

Thank you and your welcome!
[Verizon LG G2] jayochs:
nice! awesome that this works. scott sorry i ddin't answer your PM, just got home.

so this means you tihnk you'll be able to start making a VZW rom?
[Verizon LG G2] synplex:
Wow quick work scott cant wait to flash your CleanRom for VZW G2! :good:

Thank you for adding the VZW G2 to your roms set! :)
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
I have always been able to make them but this will make things a lot more clear and simple for everyone, including me, those who want to use this base and of course the people who flash :)

Some one has been testing CleanROM for vzw since I posted this initial stock rooted. Going to check in with him tonight... :highfive:

and someone just made a black navbar+status bar mod for VZW in the apps section! woooooot!
[Verizon LG G2] drkow19:
WHAT ABOUT THOSE OF US WITHOUT DAUGHTERS OR STOMACHS????

My list is like 1) flash rom. 2) read EVERY THREAD on XDA- LG G2. 3) use phone.
[Verizon LG G2] AmbroseAI:
Both times I have flashed this G2 rom in twrp, the phone did NOT reboot by itself. I waited until the procedure was complete and initiated the reboot myself from within twrp. Yes, the screen was dark after the cache wipe, but I just assumed that was because it had gone to sleep.

The phone did not shut down, nor did it reboot on it's own!
[Verizon LG G2] jayochs:
man...you guys think this takes long to flash? really?

it took me like, less than 7 minutes. yeesh. i guess none of you had a GS4 with roms stored on your SD card..that phone took 10 minutes just to backup, and then another 10 just to flash.
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
Damn... DAMN! I new I should have got a VZW G2....

I never had the issue either.

Fuuuuu

External storage takes forever...

Can you use crossbreeder and seeder on the G2? I would be actually content with the Stock ROM if we could use these apps
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
No I was working on rebuilding these two stock bases to simplify it for everyone who did not take the OTA.

Then I had to work today. Whooohoooo!!!! Lucky Me!

Sleep at 4:00am and up at... I dont know but I can tell you I am cranky because of lack of sleep! :crying:
[Verizon LG G2] Walter21026:

[Verizon LG G2] Beaumac:
I was successfully able to flash the rom. Thanks Scott. It did take forever though.

Does anyone know the key command to boot into recovery?
[Verizon LG G2] Walter21026:
This is being worked on, apparently there is a bug in TWRP and havent been able to get a key combo to boot into recovery. This is being worked on.

[Verizon LG G2] Beaumac:
ugh, I'm bootlooping on the verizon screen :\
[Verizon LG G2] Walter21026:
Did you just flash a rom or it just did it?

As with all roms be careful when flashing take careful steps, the developers are not responsible if you brick your device. Here is a revert to stock link. Since we dont have a way of booting directly into recovery yet this is the only option, its tedious as hell from what I heard just be careful.
