I had the same issue and I installed minimal adb and fastboot to desktop and also installed pdanet for drivers and then used sideload to push Rom to phone. Stock lg drivers in pc don't recognize phone in recovery so used pdanet to install lg drivers and all worked well.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paniro187:
Do you have a step by step process for that?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lingarajug:
1. Download and install minimal adb and fastboot in ur pc.(make sure to install it in desktop for easy access)

2. Download and install pdanet.

3. Download paranoid 4.3 and gapps. Rename them to 1.zip and 2.zip for easy reference. Copy these zips to step 1 folder.( does not have to be 4.3 Rom I just referred it as it is small in size and sideload sometimes has problems to push larger files.)

4. Reboot phone to recovery and perform factory reset followed by all wipes in advanced tab.

5. Go to advanced in home page of twrp and start sideload(connect usb to pc) and open step 1 folder and hold shift and right click mouse within the folder window and select command prompt and command opens and it should display in which folder it is opened in. Type adb devices and it should show your phone and if it does not close command.(keep phone connected to pc and in sideload mode) if it does detect as sideload go to step 8.

6. Open pdanet which u installed and go through options to install lg drivers and now your pc should detect your phone.

7. Exit sideload in phone and restart sideload again. Then do step 5 again. Your PC should show and sideload under devices.

8. Google how to use adb sideload as I don't remember the commands it's not hard at all. Once you knew commands push Rom first to phone followed by gapps (it

PS I am not a developer and had to learn these and don't remember sideload commands but it worked for me.

I am not responsible for any problems I am merely sharing my experience.

Glad it helped you, which Rom did you end up flashing, my thoughts is lg g2 is still very new so stay patiently for at least 6 months until more development and support develops for our devices I am staying out of flashing business for the next 6 month's.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fire Moon:
Hello,

I want to ask if it's possible to just update the firmware, not flashing new firmware which removes all of my data.

I have rooted stock firmware and want update it to the latest stock firmware using Odin because OTA doesn't work with rooted devices.

My device is SM-N900 and rooted by CF-Auto-Root.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dahdoul:
Yes it is possible but after the OTA update you have to re-root your device.

follow the steps:

1. Install Xposed Framework (a.k.a. Xposed Installer)

2. Tap on "Framework", then do it on "Install/Update"

3. Install Wanam Xposed

4. Open Xposed Installer, tap on "Modules" and check Wanam Xposed

5. Reboot the phone

6. Open Wanam Xposed, go to "Security Hacks"

7. Check (on System) "Fake System Status"

8. Reboot again...

9. you can go back to updating OTA
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fire Moon:
Thanks for the reply but that was not what I asked for, I asked if it's possible to update the firmware using Odin and keep all of my data as it's an OTA update.

And if I follow your steps (Xposed), can I just uninstall Xposed Installer and Wanam Xposed after I finish updating the firmware?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Waiting for the answer too.

in the meanwhile you can just backup your data with My Backup Pro and then restore later.

Sorry but these steps does not help.

Software Update still says: "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not vailable."
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fire Moon:
I followed his steps and it worked. But still hope to have an answer.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Really? So why dont you update via OTA?

I followed exactly the same steps and it still say "You device has been modified..." :(

I dont know why?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dahdoul:
If it worked why do you need to update via Odin :confused:.And you still can update your stock ROM via odin by downloading the latest stock rom from sammobile.com and that's it,if you worried about your data just use Titanium to backup your data.;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killberty:
Dont do ota updates of you are rooted 0x0!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fire Moon:
I didn't know that I can run OTA update on root device, but it worked fine till I realized that my new updated phone said "bye-bye" to root :eek:

Superuser still there but wont start. Any ideas? is it normal to re-root again?

Edit

:

Sorry, Yesterday I was very sleepy and didn't read that. So I will re-root again and see if it's simply work.

It worked for me just fine.

I did this and see if this will help you, but I don't think there is difference between the two steps.

First I searched for "Xposed Installer" on google play but I didn't find, instead I found "Wanam Xposed", so I installed and when I ran it it asked me to download "Xposed Installer" and I hit download and installed it, then the remain steps are the same as Dahdoul's.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Your phone has custom recovery? Or only rooted?

I try many times but it still in custom status, so cannot OTA update. My phone is N9005 from Malaysia, build MJ1, with CWM recovery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fire Moon:
Just rooted by Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
So your phone still has stock recovery? This may be the difference.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
The more advanced approach is to use Mobile Odin Pro - that way on Snapdragon version you can keep the old bootloader and automatically re-inject root and keep Knox 0x0!

In your case standard Odin might also work, latest stock firmware is generally non-wipe.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fire Moon:
Yes it is.

Thanks for the reply and information.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamerka:
Hi! I have an 8 gb hummingbird, and I wonder if thete a way to move or even install apps or just some apps' data from internal sd to external one. For example, I installed Asphalt and now can't install Real racing because have about 500mb left.

Do I need to make some sdext partition on my sd? Basic sd swap seems like a little extreme and unreliable.

I'm running emmc cm10.1 stable.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and read item 4. I have flashable zips there that will swap the internal and external SDs. After you flash it and reboot all new apps data like those game files will get stored on the external SD.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamerka:
And then I'll need to move all the data from internal to external?

Also "For these swap zips to work, your SD must be formatted to fat32. " I have exFAT 64gb card, so there's a broblem.

And finally does "A 16. Swapping Internal and External Media Storage" from "Nook Color Tips Thread" will work on NookHD?

And what about CWM backups and flahable zips then, how can I backup and install zips from external sdcard?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Yes, you must move old data from internal to external if you want it automatically available to apps.

You will have to reformat it to fat32. Use SDFormatter free on the web.

And no, that nook color technique does not work on the HD/HD+.

And the swap does not effect CWM. But CWM has an option to use the external SD (for both backups and flashable zips).
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamerka:
OK, SDFormatter formats only in exFAT, windows cant format volumes more than 32gb in fat32, so when I find right foematting tool I think it will be all.

Also CWM does not understand exFAT, so FAT32 will solve that problem too.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
I'm pretty sure SDFormatter does fat32 unless the 64GB is causing a problem.

Edit: it doesn't.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Isn't that what you want by using the swap? For downloaded items to go to external SD? They would go to internal SD without the swap.

They are only downloaded to external temporarily until installed, then they are put on internal.

My retired Dad living overseas has been playing with this device to stream shows from internet sites to his HDMI TV

Android 4.1 Dual core (A9) RK3066 1.2 - 1.6G, RAM DDR3 1GB, ROM 4GB WLAN WiFi 802.11 b/g/n.

and he is finding too much lag, breakup and buffering. When he watches the same source on his PC also connected via wifi there is no problem.

I want to find him an Android stick device with better performance than the one above that wont have the same problems.

We don't really need the processing power as he will not be using the device for anything else but do need hassle free video.

He wont be able to root, load roms etc. so it must work well out of the box.

What can the experts here recommend?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xeiks:
Ever since I uploaded from 4.0.3 ICS my phone has been getting "stuck"... The screen gets crazy if I touch it, the other buttons won't respond. The only way I seem to fix it for like 2 minutes is by locking it and unlocking it... When I bough it, it came with 4.0.3... Since then I moved from ROM to ROM...

4.0.3=>4.1.2

4.1.2=>4.2 Cyanogenmod

4.2=>4.1.2

4.1.2=>4.0.4

4.0.4=>4.3.1 BeanStalk

4.3.1 BeanStalk=>4.3 PAC

4.3 PAC=>4.3.1 BeanStalk

4.3.1 BeanStalk=>4.1.2

I left cyanogenmod because I didn't liked the look of my phone and because I wasn't able to play some of my favorite games.

I left BeanStalk because the camera.app kept crashing and forcing reboot.

I left PAC because the keyboard wouldn't show up and I wasn't able to finish the set up.

I left 4.0.4 because some apps were too new for it.

On 4.1.2 I get a lot of times stuck, but in other ROMs (even on Stock 4.0.4) the frequency of stucks were less...

I'm sorry for my awful english. I am from Argentina.

I'm really freaking out because each day my cellphone gets stuck even more!

This HowTo guide will show you a few different ways to RUU after you've updated your Hboot to 1.57.0000.

Before you will be able to use the RUU while on the Hboot 1.57.0000, you will need S-OFF.

rumrunner.us will give you S-OFF. It is advised by [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] that you have a normal sense rom, and a stock sense kernel that is unsecure.

You can find both off those advised things in the CDMA Android development thread.

[December 6,2013][ROM] [PrimoC] Stock-Rooted Virgin Mobile HBOOT 1.57.0000

Alright, now for those who are S-OFF....

Option#1) The absolute easiest first.

(I'm assuming everybody has a working fastboot environment)

Download this PRIMO_C_rom.zip and rename it to rom.zip

Place the rom.zip inside your fastboot directory on your computer.

Boot your device into fastboot mode and make sure your are using a known working usb data cable.

Verify connectivity

fastboot devices

If it returns your serial number, good. Let's keep going.

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip rom.zip

At this point, you may get a FAILED(blablabla flush image immediately!)

This warning is because the hboot is updated and the one in the rom.zip is a downgrade Hboot 1.53.0000.

Simply flash the rom.zip again.

fastboot flash zip rom.zip

Now the device will accept and your device will be returned to it's original state, like when you purchased it. (Except you will not lose S-OFF) awesome right?

If your wondering where and/or how I got this rom.zip, this is how.

First you need to download the RUU from here(I'll post link when I'm finished, it's taking forever to upload, will post when it's done)

Start the RUU. When the initial start up page with the 'this will erase all data' disclaimer don't continue, just click on the Windows start button and type in the search bar %temp%

This will open a page with another search bar in it. Type rom.zip and hit enter, this will locate the rom.zip that is flashed by the RUU. Copy it to your desktop if you like. Anyways, that is where I've already snatched it from so you can just download from here.

Option#2) Download this 1.53_Hboot_PK76IMG.zip and rename it toPK76IMG.zip

This is the android-info.txt inside the PK76IMG.zip

modelid: PK7630000

cidnum: SPCS_002

mainver: 1.10.652.6

btype:1

aareport:1

hbootpreupdate:12

Modify it to match your current romver(mainver= romver) if your not sure what your current romver is, open Android terminal emulator and type

getprop ro.aa.romver

Place it on the root of your sdcard, meaning not in a folder.

Reboot into bootloader(where it automatically searches for the zip) the bootloader will find PK76IMG.zip and ask if you want to parse it, use the volume+ button to accept then power to reboot.

The only 2 items in this zip are the downgraded Hboot 1.53.0000 that is need to run RUU successfully and the android-info.txt that it needs to read to verify it's safe to flash.

After successfully flashing the downgraded Hboot you may connect your device via usb cable to your computer and run the RUU as usual.

Profit!
