First the stock rom

1. Download all the files below :

1.1 : LGFlashTools v1.8 - Here

1.2 : Drivers - Here

1.3 : Download Both Stock Image File & DLL file - Here

Here is the Megalock DLL thats recommended for MOST TOT flashing & Included in the guide below - Here

Install

1. Install the LG drivers downloaded above.

2. Install LGFlashTools v1.8 (but don't run it)

3. Extract the TOT file from the ZIP

When LG Flash Tool is installed, do not launch it.

7) Copy MegaLock.dll to C:\LG\LGFlashTool,this is a hidden folder so enable "hidden folders". Replace the old MegaLock.dll file if you have already installed LG Flash Tool on your computer.

8) When the firmware is downloaded, boot your LG G2 into Download Mode. To do this, press and hold the Volume Up key and then plug the USB cable.

9) Launch LG Flash Tool.

You might see a window with Korean language, just click on OK.

Check the Select Manual Mode on the top.

10) MAKE SURE UNDER, DEVICE MANAGER, YOUR PORT IS SET TO COM 41 FOR YOUR DEVICE.

11) Click the DLL box and choose the dll file from above.

12) Click the S/W box and select the firmware file with .tot extension.(the 2.04 gb file from above)

13) Now click the Yellow arrow button on the top left of the main window.

The firmware installation will be triggered.

Ignore if you see any temporary error and just wait patiently till it is finished.

Do not close the Flash Tool window.

14) Press and hold power button until phone turns off, leaving usb cable connected to device AND computer ,immediately hold volume up button until phone boots it into Download Mode.

Your LG G2 will restart showing firmware installation progress in percent (%).

When all is done, reboot your phone and enjoy!

To unroot it there is a option "Full Unroot" in SU.

I ran into 1 issue that I'd like to clear up before proceeding

First of all thank you very much for the detailed instructions!

I ran into 1 issue that I'd like to clear up before proceeding though...

The TOT file was downloaded with the .tot extension, and was NOT in a ZIP file as mentioned.

I was just going to use that file, however it is 3.21 GB, and NOT 2.04 GB as mentioned.

I don't want to screw anything up so I figured it was safer to make sure this is the correct file??

THANKS!
[General Questions and Answers] Fantassy123:
That is the correct file, The 2GB file was the AT&T one which was zipped instead of a single file.

Anyway i hope it works.
[General Questions and Answers] Noppy9:
doesn't seem to start the firmware download

Well everything seemed to work including the LG flash tool indicating "ready" under the COM41 port, however when I reboot into download mode, it just never seems to start or move past 0% on the phone!?

I did some more searching and found similar steps and problems, however there seemed to be some differences in the steps and I'm not sure if because I don't have a backup that I need to approach this differently, so I was hesitant to try any different methods...

Any suggestions what to try at this step would again be much appreciated! I want to actually use this awesome phone, it's killing me!

Thanks again!
[General Questions and Answers] benchstrong:
Nice. Thanks for this :)
[General Questions and Answers] Noppy9:
After some digging I found that the drivers were stalling me... Once I unistalled/reinstalled the LG drivers, the flash started easily.

Thanks, Fantassy123

When connecting to a 5GHz wireless network, has anyone ever gotten a Link Speed (tap the wireless network in Wi-Fi to see it) over 72Mbps?

I am sure I have set my router up right (40Mhz), but I still can't get the LG OG over 72Mbps. I think it should go to 150Mbps, unless there is a hardware limitation.

Thanks for your help everyone
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
Does odin detect your phone ( you can tell by checking top left area of odin below id:com, there will be something like 0:[com5] )?

When you load the file in AP/PDA slot, did it says MD5 finished successfully?

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Did you add those LIBs to the project configuration, under Linker inputs? They should be there already, though, at least for ARM. If you're compiling for x86 (using the libraries from the emulator) you may need to add them as inputs. I probably should have used #pragmas, but I tend to avoid those.

It's possible there's some problem of ordering. Unfortunately, I'm at the wrong computer to check right (business trip, no access to my home dev machine).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] axonn:
Do I need one of those "vanilla" developer phones if I'm to install a custom ROM on my Note 3? As far as I know, nope. You can root any Android phone.

I'm fairly sure that I can ClockWorkMod + install custom ROM on a phone I purchase in a shop. But I just want to make sure :).

Thank you in advance :).

You need to READ a lot!!! Really, you will surely make something wrong...READ!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] axonn:
Although my question seemed that of a noob, I can assure you I am not. My first rooted phone was HTC Tytn2 which I rooted using Duty's ROM's which I found here back in 2008. So no worries :). Now I have a rooted SG2. I know all the procedures, safety steps and so on.

The reason I asked such a dumb question was that I had a 1% uncertainty regarding this, which I was unwilling to risk on.

As far as I know, the so-called dev-phones are simply loaded with a vanilla version of Android, no Samsung bloatware.

Anyway, thank you guys for calming my fears :D.

Hi i did a lot research after my research i found mk809iv is better and faster as per antutu and it also supports 1080p videos i just ordered mine waiting for it to come
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] dirkzelf:
I've seen specs of 809iv, but 908ii does 1080p as well, and has same CPU and same gpu, SO they should have the same performance?

Is there another aspect to 809iv that beste 908ii? Does it support Miracast?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpridmore816@gmail.com:
I've tried several times to root my Verizon GS3 using Saferoot, but the process never gets beyond "Plug in your phone and press any key to continue." I've followed the directions to the letter many times. I've updated, uninstalled and reinstalled both Samsung drivers and Kies. I've tried using different USB cables, different computers, and unzipping Saferoot into my Windows directory. I even did a factory reset on the phone. Nothing has worked; the phone and PC just sit there idle. Any tips or ideas that might help me? Thanks for your wisdom in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpridmore816@gmail.com:
Fixed it--now rooted!

The fix for me was to disable NFC. Once I did that, it rooted flawlessly. It's frustrating because none of the Google search results I looked at mentioned NFC. After exhausting all possibilities, I just happened to think "What if NFC" is the cause. Disabled it, and voila!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenosis:
Dear All,

My moto G (dual sim) turns black while I was trying to restore to stock rom. Battery is FULLY charged. Any idea?

I tried to connect power cable to charge and USB port of my computer. There is not LED light up. I tried Vol Down + Power too.

Are there ways to solve it?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATRIXXIRTA:
Are yo SURE the battery is charged?

Was your phone plugged into anything when this happened?

Have you tried charging it for a few hours and the boot to bootloader?

Just make sure it didnt do the 75% - 0% battery drop thing.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fzammetti:
Hey folks... I wanted to toss this out there because I've had a number of friends who got S5's recently and after playing with it a bit didn't realize this... the stock camera app is in a sense upgradeable by downloading new filters and shooting modes. Simply open the app, bring up the list of filters or shooting modes and scroll to the end, where you'll find a Download button. It'll bring you to a list of add-ons in the Samsung app store where you can grab what you want (most free, some not).

I think Samsung largely just took out stuff that was in there on the S3/S4 and made them add-ons, but I'm totally cool with that, and there may be a few new and interesting things too.

Anyway, now you know... and knowing's half the battle :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Slicktune:
Yay more filters, thanks but I'll stick to Vsco Cam, filters are flexible and u can make your own and not lose resolution. ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] SeaFractor:
Currently I'm awaiting a camera app duel article that then lists the best app depending on model of phone and other factors.

That said, I really like the Samsung camera application and find that the flexibility to add additional filters without going third-party is a nice feature.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Aou:
Strange, for whatever reason, I only show 4 additional modes being available when I check for new modes (via the same Download link within the camera app). Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Docmjldds:
Because that's all there are. In another thread, someone asked about Macro. The auto mode seems to focus pretty darn close. I was maybe three inches away from or less and the focus was right on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Aou:
Thanks for confirming my original suspicions. When I had read the OP, it sounded as though additional filters/modes (beyond the current 4) were already available, but that I had somehow blocked them by disabling so many unneeded applications in an attempt to fight bloat.

Yeah, I did notice that the macro capabilities had improved a touch from the S4. This was a pleasant surprise, considering I like to play around with taking neat macro/detail shots of stuff. With the few extra megapixels and the selective focus, it's even better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] jamboxboy:
While using the camera If you click on settings and click effects, it gives you the option to download more effects as well. Scroll through the effects to the bottom and there will be a download icon. A few of them though cost $1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Aou:
Sho'nuff. Didn't even scroll that far through the effects to see the Download link. Thanks!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUDUK:
Hi, coming from mainly Android based phones, had the S4, ONE, ONE x, Note, Note 2, S2, Xperia Z, oh and currently own a horrible Iphone 4s.

Anyway, got the opportunity of getting rid of my Iphone for either two S3's...one is an S3 LTE which is locked to vodafone, so I would need to get it unlocked, the other is an unlocked standard S3, both are the same age, thing is I dont need 4G, so I was thinking about just going for the standard S3, but the guy in the shop keeps telling me the LTE one is better, why, if I don't need 4g, I use Giffgaff and its 3g tops...

Any help would be good, will I notice much different from either the Note 2 or S4, note 2 was my favourite android phone so far.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
LTE (i9305) has 2Gb of memory as opposed to 1Gb (i9300), OTOH battery life should be better on i9300. I believe development is more active for i9300. I suspect the S3 maybe a disappointment after the note2 / S4, less memory equates to more lag. And battery life will be significantly worse.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
LTE is locked and if You don't need 4g then get the i9300. Ram is not important cuz we have zram :)

To either prefix or highlight a different colour Sony based vs Custom ROMs to make it easier for people find either or

Change the order and have the Guides first, and have the 3 main Togari ones first in that list:

[Edit]

And for kernels the 2nd post of Carbon has 2 or 3 that should boot CM/AOSP depending on build date etc
