[Verizon LG G2] tdawg0213:
I think your problem was flashing a debloated 12b rom and then this. I know this is a mute point now but you should have restored to 11a via tot, took the 12b OTA, rooted, installed custom recovery then flashed this. That debloated 12b might have screwed something up and thats why you are now bricked. I really don't want you to take this the wrong way but I don't think the ROM should be pulled, people just need to thoroughly read and follow instructions to the T. Several people have been successful and I bet it's because they did exactly what the op, myself and several others have said.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Its hard to say at this point. Even dirty flashing over a rom 12b it would still try to boot.

Flashing any baseband is very dangerous. I'd rather just make the rom at this point without that to avoid that danger. If anything goes wrong with the baseband flash it could cause a brick. It could possible happen even with the way you posted it.
[Verizon LG G2] jitajt:
I was already on 12b so I was hoping I could just flash this, but yeah who knows something may have been messed up with the debloated ROM. and I tried taking a shortcut so I didn't have to go back and to 12a then upgrade to 12b first but maybe we need to.

Another one will be here tomorrow on the time I get back from work.
[Verizon LG G2] tdawg0213:
Glad to hear that. Honestly, if I were you and your up to it, and familiar with adb do the manual install or just wait until micro bricks all his devices to get this working. Lol. Thanks micro for all your hard work and sacrifice.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Sweet. Glad to hear that.

Fixed ROM. New steps on OP.
[Verizon LG G2] New Rising:
Hey micro, great job on the rom. One thing I noticed on here and malladus is if I reboot my phone when it auto connects my wifi I have no data. I have to turn wifi off then back on again and then it works fine. Not a big deal but Just wondering if it's just me or if other people are having this problem too.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Mine don't do that. Try full wipe.
[Verizon LG G2] New Rising:
Hmmm... I did a full wipe on both roms, maybe I'll try to wipe cache and dalvik.
[Verizon LG G2] imucarmen:
omg I'm the biggest idiot ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:silly::(:eek::rolleyes::crying:

So yea, my phone was fine as far as the outside goes but after bricking it and thinking I had insurance I decided to do a drop test and now it's busted. I didn't even consider the one year warranty...SO SO SO SO SO STUPID! This is kiiling me, I have no backup phone and haven't been a day without a smartphone in almost 3 years and man i'm missing my phone so much. Probably losing money as well since I can get any business calls. Sorry for the thread hi-jack, just had some salt rubbed in my open wounds and it's hurts soo bad :(:crying:
[Verizon LG G2] tdawg0213:
I just wanted to add and maybe this isn't required but from my experience and several soft bricks, if you are not on the Verizon12B OTA with NO moods except custom recovery you might brick your device. I've done both manual and this way to get to kk and had no issues with both. Please read and read again before you flash this and if you need help pm me. The update rocks and everyone should enjoy but several have had success while others have failed miserably. Please don't take this the wrong way by no means am I trying to offend or upset anyone. Good luck flashing.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
Can you make a flashable unmodified version? Id like to flash it and remove apps my self but with the manual install method (by xdabbeb) I can't seem to keep root at all. Not sure why. I'll probably try again this weekend but I'd rather not keep wiping data to get stock 12b. Thanks
[Verizon LG G2] tdawg0213:
That's odd because I still maintained root on the manual install. If you have successfully installed manually do so again and try ioroot25. It is updated for kk so I've been told and after you extract the zip there is another zip named kk. Can't confirm it works but just a heads up.

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------

Just curious, what's a drop test?
[Verizon LG G2] imucarmen:
when you drop the phone to see how much it takes to break it. I had dropped my g2 probably 20 times or more actually and only had a some dings around the edges. I never used a case because i loved the way the phone felt in my hand but i would often get out the car with it on my lap. Thankfully it never broke.
[Verizon LG G2] Raverrevolution:
Could have sold the hard brick for parts on ebay, especially if your screen was fine before the drop test.

Anyway, setting myself to take the plunge.

Going to tot to 11a, take OTA to 12b, root, install recovery, then rom install followed by baseband. MD5 checking it all. I'll report back later. Wish me luck.
[Verizon LG G2] usefulidiot127:
I'm right behind you, downloading all of the files I need now. I'm going to be doing exactly what you are doing so please tell me to ABANDON SHIP if this somehow bricks your phone :angel:

So once I'm on 12b, rooted, with custom recovery, I intend on doing the following: (Also for some reason I don't entirely understand I'll first flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 with loki and then flash 2.7.0.0 with loki afterwards, I think?)

1 - Wipe system/data/cache

2 - flash vs980_1xx_to_24a.zip

3 - flash ROM V1.2

4 - wipe cache/dalvik

As you mentioned, MD5 checking everything AFTER the file has been transferred to my phone.
[Verizon LG G2] motenak:
Everything worked for me and all I did was follow instructions. Went back to 11A, OTA to 12B, rooted, installed Flashify to install recovery, wiped everything multiple times and flashed both zips. Perfect so far.
[Verizon LG G2] sefirosu0522:
Just a quick question. I thought the KK baseband borked rotation. Is this fixed?
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Having trouble rebuilding full stock.

Use ioroot25.

Yes if u flash kk.
[Verizon LG G2] VinceOB:
What's weird is ioroot25 didn't work for me. I had to use an older version. Other than that kit Kat works perfect. Thanks for the upload Micro.
[Verizon LG G2] tdawg0213:
If your unsure then don't flash but it sounds like your on the right track. Be sure everything flashed/installed properly first then move forward.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
The KitKat radio does as its supposed to. The problem, and misconception is that 4.4 aosp Roms right now are not built on 4.4, they are built on 4.2, because that is all we have (officially) available.

Flashing the 24a radio on 4.2 = borked rotation.

Shouts to [MENTION=4232461]tdawg0213[/MENTION] he helped me out and answered my questions on what i was doing. I was a little bit rusty on a few things since I havent been the flashing guru i once was back on the gnex lol. But to all.

No Brick. going through the installation of the new kk 24a rom now!

stock 11a, ota12b, ioroot25, freegee cwm recovery (load the old cwm, the others did not work), nandroid bu, wipe data/cache/dalvick cache, install rom1.2, install 24a bb file, rebooted.

All good in Mr. Rogers neighborhood!!
[Verizon LG G2] tdawg0213:
Glad I can help and your running smooth. Don't mean to beat a dead horse but read read read and when in doubt, google is your friend. Read and search and your device can be running like a boss as mine is. PM me anytime if you run into any problems and if I can help I will.

edit: your right, the only recovery I have been able to install via freegee is the oldest CWM. After that when I flshed a different recovery I got an error but the recovery installed and no issues.
[Verizon LG G2] usefulidiot127:
No bricks here, followed directions to the letter and I'm on this ROM with twrp 2.7 recovery. My only hiccup was trying to install a recovery on 12b - eventually found the files in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48879826

Thanks to the awesome developers!
[Verizon LG G2] wadamean:
I took the manual 12b flashing upgrade from 11a. Would this still work or no? Before I risk it

[Verizon LG G2] commuterbox:
I got my phone back in February this year and I am pretty sure it came with 12b but I have been on 12b debloated rom and I am not too sure if I am able to flash this rom correctly. I have 2.7 twrp installed, furnace kernel and current back up. Please help I am trying to get some kitkat awesomeness. Thank you for the awesome devs out there.
[Verizon LG G2] Ckamc:
Is there a method to go back and take the OTA update when on a 12b rom? I am on Linux and don't have a windows partition any more to run the LG tool and don't remember since getting my phone in Jan-Feb if it came with the update or not.
[Verizon LG G2] tatootie67:
The only way is to use the flash tool. . I use the tot method. Tot back to 11a then take the 12b ota
[Verizon LG G2] commuterbox:
Please post another link mega gets stuck on 85%. Thank you
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Use chrome on a desktop with the mega extention.

Sent from my Vs980 running Liquid Smooth
[Verizon LG G2] Raverrevolution:
Friendly tip for anyone going through this process, after you run the LG flash tool and everything resets and you take the OTA to 12b don't forget to have exited out of the flash tool next time you plug the phone in with USB debugging enabled. Download mode will randomly start up again and it'll start flashing 11a again. I wasted a good 30 minutes redoing it all.

Also the rom download works, just leave the pc alone and let it download.
[Verizon LG G2] tdawg0213:
Not sure if this is what caused another member to BRICK their device but they flashed this when their device was in your devices state and BRICKED it. Starting fresh is the best route.
[Verizon LG G2] commuterbox:
Ok thanks. Just don't have the resources to download all the necessary files that's why trying to get KK the easiest possible. I'm here in Afghanistan so download speed is crap. I'm gonna have to wait I guess until we get official OTA.
[Verizon LG G2] mrchambo:
Thank you for your service.
[Verizon LG G2] sefirosu0522:
Ok sorry for this. But if I'm on stock 24A, rooted, with TWRP 2.7 from JC, will I bork rotation? My Baseband is currently VS98024A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20046. Will I need to flash KK Baseband vs980_1xx_to_24a.zip ? Or can I just flash the rom?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
You're on 4.4, so no, it will not Bork rotation.

Sent from my Vs980 running Liquid Smooth
[Verizon LG G2] sefirosu0522:
Thank you. So just flash both files and call it a day?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
As long as it says in the op you can dirty flash it then just flash the ROM and be done.

Sent from my Vs980 running Liquid Smooth
[Verizon LG G2] sefirosu0522:
It says full wipe. Worst case I break rotation and have to start from scratch, right?
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Okibi who made the new kk baseband files says u only need to of taken at lowest the 11a ota. So if ur on the 12b or 11a already with a custom recovery u can just do full wipe, flash ROM and kk baseband.
[Verizon LG G2] sefirosu0522:
I'm on full stock 24A with 24A baseband and twrp 2.7.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
He's on 24a, can he dirty flash?

Sent from my Vs980 running Liquid Smooth
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Yea, just flash ROM. No kk baseband needed.
[Verizon LG G2] wadamean:
I have the 12b radio and baseband installed too but all done through xda and not through Verizon. Could I still get lg Kk with this method posted on op or malladus

I'm on debloated 12b rom am i good to go to flash this rom? Initially got the phone on 12b then stayed 12b debloated rom.
[Verizon LG G2] sefirosu0522:
Is it safe to just go ahead and freeze My Verizon Mobile?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
No. You need to have received it with 12b on it or taken the ota.

Flashing the 12b radio and having it report a 12b baseband, will not work.

[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Yes, you need full wipe, flash rom then kk baseband. Make sure you check the MD5 on baseband to avoid brick.

Anybody on 11a, 12b just needs to do full wipe, flash rom, then flash baseband.

If your already on 24a, then just flash rom. Full wipe if your on CM11.
[Verizon LG G2] Raverrevolution:
After using this KK rom today I have to say that it makes this phone soooo much more beastly!! Many little things are corrected.

The full screen mode is awesome!! Google wallet tap and pay also works. Battery does seem improved as well. Just perfect all around and such an improvement!! :laugh:

Lol it even fixed up the new bugs in Clash of Clans for me although that was probably wiping and starting fresh that did the trick.
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
Full screen mode?
[Verizon LG G2] Raverrevolution:
Yeah, when you play a game or something that takes up the whole screen the top status bar and bottom nav buttons move out of way. Now there's no accidental back presses during games.
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
Ok, that explains why I've not really seen that yet, I don't have any games that I play on it. I've been looking through the settings to see if there was some type of expanded desktop toggle I missed.
[Verizon LG G2] workdowg:
Ok. Got no insurance (I think). I'm ready to try this again, but can't seem to put all the steps together. I've been a flashaholic on many devices for many years now and this device has so much conflicting threads and info. And then everyone keeps talking like it is common knowledge.

1) Just tot back to 11a. - where is the CORRECT revert back to stock 11a thread and tot file?

2) OTA to 12b - no problem there

3) Root using ioroot25 - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48709232 - no problem

4) Install custom recovery - DD flash this one? here Its preloki'd and version 2.6.3.3 or.4

5) Update to Philz6.25 or TWRP 2.7

6) Nandroid backup

7) Full wipe x3 andflash this ROM and profit?

Thank you.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
New steps in OP.
[Verizon LG G2] Raverrevolution:
Yeah you pretty much have it right, except that in the end don't forget to flash the KK baseband file as well as the ROM. Also throw in an MD5 check in there to be extra careful.

I was having a very tough time with the recovery installing step. I was trying to do it the long, but reliable way, but I installed to low of a version and didn't want to bootloop rebooting 12b, so instead I used flashify and surprisingly it worked very well. I just downloaded the app and downloaded 2.7 within and installed. Still working great for me.

Here's where I got my tot file and the thread to revert to 11a;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448960
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
If ur already on 11b or higher with custom recover ur ready to flash. Full wipe.
[Verizon LG G2] Raverrevolution:
True, yeah, those steps are right assuming that you never took an OTA and bought the phone when it first came out like I did. I went from one debloated rom to the next.

Still though it's actually pretty nice having a totally clean phone after all of that.
[Verizon LG G2] insang-droid:
So my phone was 11b when I rooted. Flashed the stock rooted 12b.

Do I have to revert to 11b take the 12b Ota?
[Verizon LG G2] ANTLAY:
Just to be safe..im about flash per op instructions...i wont lose root or recovery? And just in case i didn't like it (lol) could nandroid backup
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
No. New easy method. Full wipe, flash Rom n baseband. Check md5.
[Verizon LG G2] Bwangster12:
So now we can more or less just flash and not need to go back to stock, etc
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Yes, per okibi who made the baseband. Malldiuos Rom uses same.
[Verizon LG G2] Bwangster12:
So if I'm going from 12b but rooted, philz recovery, xposed, split screen mod, etc...I can just flash and not stress?

Hi

I just got my orange spv m600 (upgrade from spv m500) and I must say it is very good all most on paar with my old p900 (which i still think is the most "one handed on the go" usable pda phone).

Just I noticed the Organe software on the spv m600 for the phone application is qutie bad designed.

Its a dark grey background with black writing?!? who thought of that dear orange?! Its more or less impossible to read easly who you are trying to call.

Is there a way to change this some how in the registry maybe?

(sorry not yet figured out how to make a screenshot)

On the next screen, at the bottom, you will see `Windows Mobile 5`, click on the Wiki Home

On the next screen, at the bottom, `Registry Tweaks`, click on Others

On the next screen, read or search the page for the stuff. It is there.

Next question you will be asking would be, "How do I get into the registry" :)

If any one else wants to change it, here is how:

Remove operator skin from Phone app

If your device's Phone app is skinned, you can remove by setting:

HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0 (DWORD decimal)

Similarly, you can restore it with:

HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 1 (DWORD decimal)

need to restart the device (or maybe just phone app) i rebooted it.
