you clearly don't get it...

1. you can't install custom recovery if you're not rooted

2. autorec installs custom recovery only (but 1st you need rooted device)

3. only if you flash a custom rom of some kind you'll get a kernel that goes with it

[G2 General] 6ril1:
To install a custom recovery on 4.4.2, you need to downgrade the bootloader in 4.2.2, because the bootloader (4.2.2 and 4.4.2) is locked, and can not be unlocked but workaround for bypassing lock exists in 4.2.2, the Loki exploit by [MENTION=4229979]djrbliss[/MENTION], which been patched by LG in 4.4.2 version.

So, 4.4.2 kernel can not boot behind downgraded 4.2.2 bootloader unless the kernel is a patched. To patch a kernel, we need the source code and the last one published is 20D.

No need a real "custom" kernel, just a patched kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56082714&postcount=1403

Autorec automates all this, by downgrading bootloader (flashing laf too, which is download mode), flashing 20D pacthed kernel, and also, of course, TWRP 2.7.

So, yes, you install a 20D version of kernel with autorec vs a 20G (That said, it is possible that this is the same).

Just updated my UK D802 (A6GBBK) which was rooted with Towelroot, OTA and it updated fine. Root hasn't been lost either.

However, my phone is feeling very hot (even in it's hard case) but not sure if it's just because it warmed up during the update. Certainly wasn't this warm before the update. Hopefully normal. Seem to have lost cell service but going to try and manual network search now. After update it felt quite slow but I think things were probably just updating in the background.

Might just be me but camera when using flash seems to take a photo quicker.
[G2 General] meangreenie:
yesterday i was all set to flash the .kdz file, but the update finally came thorough anyway.

my 802 was on 20d with just root, supersu, and xposed with pie control module.. i had no custom recovery at all

so i just uninstalled the xposed framework via the app, rebooted and then took the official update.. all went well... then after procedure i checked i still had root, which i did, and then reinstalled the xposed framework via the app. rebooted and all was back to how it was, with lmt pie working great and no nav bar.

it was a pretty easy procedure.. thank goodness lol

one thing i noticed after the update was that 'ok google' hotword was activated, so i turned that off in case of unwanted battery drain.... google search app, settings/voice/hotword-off

Use 45Baltics 32G: csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW318806432109876543213/D80220G_00.kdz

Including all laungages. Normally no diffrent between V20F rooms eg. 45Baltics or 279Italy-is exactly the same firmware. Be carefully: for 16GB model you need 16G firmware, use 16G firmware for 32GB model damage your partition.

From V20F the Skype issue has been removed.

I recommend V20G.

Good luck!

Download mode working with any firmware does not matter which one you use. Important is that you use correct this method: completly off your phone, hold volume up button and plug-in usb plug to pc. Don't relase volume-up button until plug-in into pc.

Guys why I'm still on 20C ? I've watched a video where someone said that he got update for knock code and option to hide on screen buttons.
