Yes you need a recovery, search the general development thread for g2 the root steps are there. Theres a YouTube video also, super simple and super fast.
[Sprint LG G2] Foye:
I just tried searching. I couldn't find anything for how to install a recovery. Do you have a link by chance?

Also, for installing ROMs, do all ROMs have the same install instructions?

Thanks!
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
Look under the general g2 section for TWRP and follow their directions to put the recovery on your system. They should have what you need up to the version 2.6.3.3.

All the Roms will install basically the same.

Backup your original. Make sure you have a copy of the ROM you wish to install on the internal phone memory. Advance wipe all but internal storage. Install ROM that is on your internal phone memory.

Reboot.

Did I forget anything?

LMFAO. Thats why it wasn't booting! Wow I feel dumb now. So ill just 100% dirty flash it.

People can tell you how to do it. We can point you to links. It will benefit you so much in the long run if you learn how to do it yourself. We have all been where you are and all willing to help. I think most of us still learn something new from someone everyday. Take your time, be patient. You will get it.

Sweet! Thank you so much!

Now that I have it backed up. I want to install the Derp ROM...

Have a link by chance that has directions on how to install a ROM? Also, do I need to install GAPPS? If so how do I do it, and where do I find it?

Thanks again!
[Sprint LG G2] Chaosmaker2k:
Read the very first post in this thread.........no gapps, download is I believe in post 2......again reading at least the op is a very good start for any rom. Be thankful thank people on the G2 or at least the d3rp G2 are nice. Back in the EVO or EVO LTE thread you would have been flamed long ago
[Sprint LG G2] dased14:
Well for 6 payments of 49.99 plus shipping to and fro you can ship it to d3rp headquarters and we'll set you right up or you can read a little use umm i don't search and google to look up the how to's or think really hard and the nas will show up and do it(but probably install more software to collect you data(gotta be careful with that option ?????????

[Sprint LG G2] Fuber28:
Explains why I couldn't find it. Keep seeing others talk about it, and thought maybe I was missing something.

I want to thank you guys for this ROM. Exactly what is needed for this phone. I'm looking forward to when you are about to incorporate spark into it.
[Sprint LG G2] Foye:
I see the download titled: "d3rpG2_releaseTWO - DOWNLOAD"

I downloaded it...

But is there a certain set of instructions on downloading this ROM? Do I just move the 5 folders into a new folder on my desktop... then move those somewhere into a certain folder in my phone? Then???...

I am VERY thankful for all the help that you have given me and taking the time talk me through this. I am very thankful for this board in general.
[Sprint LG G2] Chaosmaker2k:
Now I'm really starting to get annoyed. The folders are only setting up svn, don't worry about that you'll never get that since you don't READ! The link for rsl2 is all you need full rom. Most recent, wipe cache, dalvik, system, data 3 Times for good measure. DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE! Install rom, update profile under system update after rom boots. All this is located in the VERY 1ST POST! Sorry but you seem to want this on a silver platter. Read and learn

So

Edit: so the instructions are not really in the first post, so I apologize for my rant. Do what I said other than that and you'll be good to go. All roms are installed the same way unless you move away from stock in which case you would also need gapps
[Sprint LG G2] mrrogers1:
You need to stop what you are doing, go to general or our Sprint Dev forum and learn what you are doing. This is getting a weee bit out of hand man. If you can't search to find the instructional video on how to root, install recovery and basic rom flashing, you are going to get yourself into a WORLD of trouble. That world looks like when your phone is not working because you have wiped the wrong thing or completely screwed the phone up and you are paying Sprint to replace.

Forget about flashing this or any rom until you take the time to figure out what AND WHY you are doing it. We don't ask much of people in these forums and certainly not of our users but one thing that is required is a little common sense, some reading and comprehension and some self help by way of the MANY threads and guides.
[Sprint LG G2] Foye:
Everyone has their strength and weaknesses. I'm new to rooting, downloading recoveries, and installing ROMs. So yes, some of this does seem like rocket science to me, as I'm sure it was for most people first starting out. I can read, but when terms svn or rsl2 come up... I'm lost... since I have no clue what they are.

So here goes it...

1.)Download Rom

2.)Connect Phone to computer...

3.) ??? Where do I put the 5 files ??? Into a new folder? Then move that folder to where in the phone?

4.)Boot into recovery...

5.)Wipe Cache, Dalvik, and System 3 times.

6.)Install Rom

7.)Update profie

Done?
[Sprint LG G2] Fuber28:
In his defense, being new at this, the terminology can be confusing and, being nervous that you might brick your phone doesn't help. My first time someone guided me through it in a IRC chat room. That can really help ppl through these things. I know it helped me out.
[Sprint LG G2] kwdan:
Thank you! That was exactly my point.
[Sprint LG G2] Trident:
You guys are way too nice. I just got my G2 after a long stint with Samsung & HTC phones. The guys on the G3, EVO & EPIC forums would have destroyed people for comments/questions like those above. At some point, people do have to learn and read a little. Not everybody needs to be a DEV, but at least put in a few minutes.
[Sprint LG G2] Foye:
Exactly. I don't want to brick my phone. Everyone always has their first time at something.

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

Been trying to read as much as I can. I'm not familiar with all terms, so at times it makes things confusing. Surprised I haven't come across an instructions list yet... like.. download rom, put rom contents in new folder, more new folder with rom contents into (this spot) on your phone, boot up your recovery, etc...
[Sprint LG G2] dased14:
Rom flashing(hell flashing anything even your neighbors ?) first rule of flash club

Read, read, read some more and when you think you know what to do stop and read some more

2nd rule never ever under no circumstances what so ever ask for eta

3rd rule (only if flashing neighbors) trim the bushes

4th rule do not expect to be spoon fed(devs, themers, contributors, people who help etc..) are not baby sitters we will help but first you must help yourself

5th rule is you must turn over all your worldly possessions to me and wait for the google mothership? to take us to their home planet?

Good lord.

I miss the days when rooting *required* half hour reading about adb, half hour reading the root thread, and half hour of terminal commands to complete rooting.

Then you had to read more about recovery, rom, etc. It took me a week to root my hero, because I wanted to be sure I knew what was going on, and didn't feel that it was the responsibility of the forum to answer my questions.

Here's the only instructions you'll get from me. Keep in mind I'm the "leader" of this rabble and founder of the team. If you need more step by step, good luck in general or q+a.

Download rls2 to your phone

Wipe in recovery (including system)

Flash rls2

Boot, (reboot if you get emergency screen)

Update prl/profile

Set up from scratch

In going to ask the thread folks to NOT give any new instructions, and NOT continue to hand you info that you really need to find out on your own.

You have an expensive tiny supercomputer in your hands. Don't be a moron. Figure out the basics. Once you do that and install our ROM, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Further, once you've done that, and have legitimate questions about bugs or features, please ask and we'll help.

Xda lg g2 [what the problems or question is]

For example today I flashed a jelly bean ROM on my girlfriends Note 2, for some reason WiFi broke, instead of asking in the thread why is WiFi broken I googled "XDA At&t note 2 no WiFi". I found several threads discussing the problem.

Turns out I have to to update the bootloader, instead I just downloaded amd flashed the Jedi 4.1.2 ROM, showed her Xposed installer and saved the day.

You almost got it, wipe system and data too.

Don't ever download a ROM (or any flashable file) over 3G or LTE, you're not going to like it. I suggest on a PC with a stable connection.

Wipe system, data, caches, install, reboot, wait.....

I flashed it this morning (dirty flash) had no issues at all. Very happy with this build, thanks team.
[Sprint LG G2] samsunghater:
Brings a tear to my eye seeing my fav devs from the elte on the g2 i just dumped my one thinking I'll leave it stock.......lol
[Sprint LG G2] Foye:
I did download it onto my computer, then moved it to the phone.

But I do have a few problems still...

I'm coming from the Sprint Epic 4G, to this... and on my Epic, I could get 4G at my house. With this ROM, I only get 3G, and its REALLY spotty... it will drop 3g even, on and off. I can't even wireless teather, since it drops 3g so often.

Is this normal? Anybody else experiencing this? thanks!
[Sprint LG G2] kevinhack:
I havent read the last two pages yet, but if you haven't yet got it

Download the ROM. It's a zip file. Keep it as a zip file. Do not extract it. Put the zip file on your phone. Boot recovery. Wipe system data cache dalvik cache. NOT internal storage. Install the zip file you placed on your phone. Click reboot when finished. Pretty simple.
[Sprint LG G2] mrrogers1:
Think again.... :D
[Sprint LG G2] phatmanxxl:
Your Samsung uses wimax 4G not LTE, the G2 does not use wimax due to sprint abandoning the frequency.. You probably don't have LTE in your area yet, sprint 3G sucks period. Sprint is still in the process of rolling out their LTE network you're just gonna have to wait or switch carriers.

If you did have LTE on your G2 the update your profile in the settings. You shouldn't be seeing any signal/data issues with this ROM. I get 3G drops too but its the network not the phone. The G2 has better reception than my Note 2 and HTC One did. It could be a lot worse.
[Sprint LG G2] Foye:
Thanks, this makes sense now. Shucks! My WiMax had some KILLER speeds. I should have done some research before upgrading. I'm from Minneapolis, MN. I however did get a message from Sprint last week saying that they were upgrading the network in my area, not sure what kind of upgrading though.

---------- Post added at 01:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

Also, I thought that the bloatware was removed from this ROM? It still has the Sprint Zone and Qualcomm IZAT. Is that normal?
[Sprint LG G2] krisI0N:
Holytitties. I went from stock to this, dirty flash, no gapps.. Lol whoops.

On a side note, been a while since I've been on xda, back from the good ol' days on the epic, (good stuff) glad for this to be my first rom for my g2 lovin it already. Can't wait for all the extra little goodies you guys might bake in.

Congrats on a nice rom!
[Sprint LG G2] Chaosmaker2k:
The Sprint zone is left because I assume some people use it, izat is supposed to help with GPS. And the 1st post says a lot of bloat removed, not all. I personally remove Sprint zone with titanium back up. Search the play store for it. DO NOT JUST GO UNINSTALLING EVERYTHING ON THE PHONE. You might mess up the rom or brick your phone.

The part about folders is just for svn, which is something the devs setup to add changes to tweak the rom. I'm pretty sure the 1st post again has the link for a great guide in setting up svn. However the downloads posts by the devs will be the one I suggest you use until you've read and learned some. I'm just a user who started with a EVO, then the EVO LTE and now this beast. Rls2 is running smooth n fast, no issues.
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
I agree with Chaosmaker2k, the first post has a link to a great guide. Learned about svn myself from it.

Read, read, and read and then read some more. It will help you more then you could ever imagined.

Rls2 is running awesome.

[Sprint LG G2] barleysoda:
Uh Yeah I got that part Duce...you and every Dev on XDA don't like it. If I had time I would build a ROM and put two alarm clocks in Status and maybe one in the bottom software buttons somewhere between home and recent apps. I might even make a custom wall of an alarm clock to go with it. Call it the d3rpalarm ROM...yes I would use your base...hopefully with permission and if not then d3rpalarmoutlaw ROM and have to host it somewhere else.

Welcome friend

We'll probably max out this trunk first. Not sure yet how much actually changed in the OTA apps...

You know how to decompile apk? If not learn, we'll tell you how to fix it yourself ;)
[Sprint LG G2] barleysoda:
I'm just busting your chops Duce...yes I can decompile and add the clock back but thanks for the offer. The originally question was definitely not pointed directly at Team derp but more at the Dev community as a whole as to why everyone hates the alarm clock in status so much.

I was playing with the newer APK multitool that can decomp/comp without ADB commands. I was using it to change my icons around but I still haven't found a way to get around renaming 100's of png files. Still couldn't get some icons to take so I know I have to look further. I couldn't find anything in xml that calls out icon png's for all apps. Do I have to edit every apk per app to really theme ALL icons in the drawer? Havent played with the smali files yet, maybe its in there.

Basically my issue it how is it a theme can tell a launcher such as Apex to change all icons including all drawer icons yet the LG home themes cant or don't tell home launcher to do it? Home launcher themes only change the basic stock icons.

I know I'm off topic here so no need to waste time replying but cant find any decent theming threads for the G2.

You can see here I changed the App drawer icon in the theme I was working on.

I will never be a Dev but I'm a pretty savy user since I been flashing Rom's since the Hero also.

Instead of asking in this thread about d3rpG2 rom, it might be better to ask in the thread with "everything you need to know about ZVA" or in the thead that has the test update flashes. Or the thread about stock rooted rom, not a custom one.

Anyone having issues with the Circle battery causing Qremote to disappear? Its gone from the app drawer but apk still shows in System/apps. try to install apk from there and it fails. I try to restore from Titanium with or without data and it fails. Do a wipe on caches and system and then reinstall rev 50 and its back. Then I can restore data with Titanium so I don't have to rebuild all my remotes. Flash circle battery and its gone again.

Then for a test I flash both the ROM and the circle battery at the same time and Qremote is gone on boot. I notice Qremote missing a couple weeks ago and got it back by reflashing ROM but forgot I never resinstalled the circle battery. I didn't because at the time the circle battery was not up to date with a system UI change on the rev I was running. Anyhow I am almost certain it is related to the circle battery mod but don't understand how that can be?

*EDIT* It has nothing to do with the circle battery. Just rebooting the phone causes Qremote to disappear. The fix is to wipe app data and disable in phone app settings and then re-enable and restore data with titanium. If no one else is having this issue then maybe its time for me to do a fresh install of rev 50.
[Sprint LG G2] kwdan:
I use the circle battery and qremote also, both are present on my phone. I restore qremote from titanium whenever I flash. Qremote still pops on the screen when I get to home wifi. I've installed them both on two different phones.
