Oh the kernel can determine this by its self?

Are there universal kernels available which can be used on all roms?

Cool right I will search for the kk autorec, and follow the link for the TWRP update, then download a couple of kernels and a couple of roms in case I get stuck in a boot loop

Can you recommend any roms? On my note I used to like PA with the adjustable dpi with a overclockable kernel. Is their anything like this available?

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

Do I have to update TWRP? Also is it fine to use the stock kernel and stock rom with as normal after using autorec?

I feel more comfortable doing all these steps in stages over a few days
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
The only way is rooting and/or using TWRP. But you have to be rooted in every case.

If you want to be sure, what variant you really have, open the backcover and look what is written on the main board (not on some plastic parts, because they are exchangable.

IOroot shouldn't do any damage to your phone, no matter which variant it is.

No, there are no universal kernels. Every ROM brings its own kernel. Additionally there are a few standalone kernels. The most (if not all; I don't even know one) can determine the screentype by themselfes.

Pay attention: There are Stock based kernels, for different android versions, then there are CAF kernels as well as CM compatible kernels. As long as you flash only stuff for your device, you end up in a bootloop in worstcase.

AOSPA (PA leagacy) is available for the G2. But there are better ROMs (like euphoria or slimsaber) imo. Both with their own (amazing) kernels and both are overclockable afaik.

As already said, every ROM brings its own kernel. This means you don't have neccessarily to flash another kernel. I even recommend not to do so. Bootstack, ROM, GApps, that's usually it.

After using autorec you can just keep the stock setup as it is. You are not forced to flash anything after TWRP is installed. Many people have it this way so that they can do backups but keep the stock ROM.

I strongly recommend you to update TWRP for the following reasons: The one I've linked (by blastagator) has built in temperature control (which avoids the persistent black lines that can happen with unthrottled recoverys (like the official one) ) additionally you need a TWRP version higher than 2.8.x.x to flash LP ROMs.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcarlxx:
You are a star.

The only reason I ask about the kernels is because some phones I have had, I needed to flash a "safe" kernel first before flashing a rom.

So with the g2 I can just download and flash roms without the need to flash a kernel designed for that specific rom before I flash the rom? As long as its not lp

And the reason I was worried about updating TWRP is I follow the link on the page you posted and I can't find the correct one (d802) on the website that the op linked too

unfortunately I cannot since I'm on LG G2 VS980 (VERIZON) it has a internal sd card so there is no external sd card, but your right if I had one then yes I could remove the card- put the rom and gapps on the card then flash it that way (I had to do that once or twice when I had my LG optimus) . So thats why right now I'm seeking some advanced help with this bonehead move I did andmake sure that I put the right recovery n my phone If not then I need the correct one and reflash it after I get the phone back on.

As Promised, the answers. Part 1/2

AfaIk this has to be supported by your provider too. Not sure about that, but that would be my guess. You maybe should get in contact with the helpdesk of your provider if this feature is essential to you.

No, don't flash any kernel before flashing a ROM. It will be overwritten by the ROM itself when you flash the ROM. So it's simply an unnecessary step.

Personally I like SlimSaber (unofficial) and or Euphoria-OS. Highly recommend these two. If you like the Stock look of the G2/G3/G4 have a look at the cloudy ROMs.

Search this thread for adb sideload (I explained how to several times). This is the only way that works to copy files to the G2 if you are on TWRP 2.7.x.x. First thing: Download, copy (via sideload) and flash this TWRP to your device. This allows you also to use your phone as USB storage when you are in TWRP. So you don't need the ADB anymore.

Have you flashed the right bootstack? What was on your device before you flashed? And if you were on stock: which android version were you using? Did you perform a clean flash?

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

Answers 2/2 I hoped I missed no one. Otherwise ask again or tag me. NO PMs!

Yeah, I know it works. Got you. Is your knockcode long enough (like 3 taps or something like that)? Google on how to update touchscreen firmware. In worst case you could flash a kdz with the flash or support tool by LG. This should definitely resolve the issue. Sorry, couldn't find the links instantly. So you need to to 5 mins of google. ;)

I dunno the ROM. Maybe you have to activate the root access in the developer settings. Sorry, didn't read until the end of the thread. So my answers to your questions above are obsolete.

Is it the bootstack by dr.gravy? If it's the one by rashed, move to the one by dr.gravy. (link e.g. in the OP of the SlimSaber Thread). Because the one by rashed kills the download mode and it's likely that you will be happy that you have a working download-mode at some time.

You didn't describe your problem with the bootloader. About the LED... No idea, sorry. I guess it's best if you ask in the ROM thread.

Why don't you take the OTA to KK and do the stuff as you did before? But basically it's the same thing. Oh and yeah, you can do as you have written.

Is it set right in the hidden menu? Google how to enter the hidden menu on your variant (each variant has a different way).
