as i flashed LOS i also didnt do anything about the bootloader, only followed these steps / tutorial video :) dont forget to backup your data
[G2 General] Flyred:
After several days of use, here is a small feedback :

- Generally the phone is working just fine.

- I can't find a way to avoid the vibration while I'm typing on the AOSP Keyboard. I disabled anything I found about vibration but typing on the keyboard still vibrates.

- I can't send MMS. I've checked my APN setting and it seems to match with my phone operator. I keep searching.

- I can't change my android profile picture. I select the one I want, but nothing happen...

Please don't hesitate to tell me if you know the solution about those subjects.

I am currently using the one click root command, and the phone is stuck at

fastboot: processing commands

Should I keep waiting or is there a solution to this problem.
[G2 General] yanis15:
As an owner of a G2 for the past 3 years, the bootloader situation has been very confusing. I have finally understood how it all works.

For anyone wondering, our bootloader is locked and it cannot be unlocked in any way. There are several "patches" or ways to overcome that when flashing any ROMs. Currently, it's called BUMP. After changing/tweaking/modifying the boot image you must BUMP it. On every boot LG checks if the boot image is signed and if not it gives a security error which some of you may have experienced. Basically, after any modification, this BUMP signs the boot image and the phone boots as normal. It is important to have blastagator's BUMP recovery because as far as I can tell it always bumps the boot image when you use it. If you do not use his recovery you must flash his boot image bumper it bumps the boot image and you can boot any ROM.

It is important to know that BUMP is used and works only on device which has the KK bootloader. If your device is currently running Jelly Bean this will not work and you MUST update to KK or LL to get the KK bootloader. It's recommended to update to stock LL before flashing any ROMs because of other important radios etc. are better on the LL version.

From stock LL you can root and flash recovery. You must immediately flash blastagators bump recovery and after that, you can play with any ROM that you like. Also as far as I know any loki (the patching method before BUMP it was used on JB bootloader) ROM can be used on the KK bootlader and be "BUMPED" i.e. you can flash virtually anything as soon as you make sure it is for your model and you BUMP IT.

It is important to know how our bootloader works because careless flashing may lead to the previously mentioned "security error" which, if dealt incorrectly with, can brick your phone forever. You will need a new motherboard which is costly and rather pointless to purchase for a phone of our age.

FYI, all these issues are fixed now !

There is still a problem with some streaming apps like Molotov TV (a free streaming app for the french TV). It's impossible to stream any videos because of a drm problem. It's a problem with lineageOS (and other custom ROM). I didn't find any solution on the internet.
[G2 General] Chris_1991:
Dear yanis15,

Hello! May I ask if I am now on the stock rom of Lollipop, should I downgrade to Kitkat first before I go through this tutorial to have Lineage OS?

Besides, should I flash any bootstack when I flash custom rom? Always confused with those.

Thanks!

-----------

Updates:

Took me around 30 mins to finish the flashing. :) Thanks a lot OP!

Lollipop is totally fine, no need to downgrade to KitKat. No need to flash any bootstack. Just follow OP's tutorial. :)

Thanks again :D

Hello everyone. I tried to follow this guide, but i found a problem.

I installed the twrp and root, but how can i update the twrp with the suggested version? I can only find apply update from cache, adb and external card. I don't find a list of directories of internal storage. Is it possible to update twrp with adb?
[G2 General] Flyred:
I don't know if it's because of the last update, but it's working now !!

Hi,

To update TWRP you just have to flash the zip file of the new version (TWRP 3.1) like you flash any other custom ROM.
[G2 General] Tempeltuempel:
Sorry, but this did end in the bootloop / brick for us. Your tutorial is missing like others the installation of Bootstack (within Recovery)

(Also LG G2, d802)
[G2 General] Alih953:
If i upgrade to LL then Do i need to install bootloader or not ???
[G2 General] JuraP:
As far as I know, you DON´T . Just upgrade to last official Lollipop and follow tutorial (at least this was what I did - now running oficial Lineage OS 14)

)
[G2 General] blueplasticsoulman:
After reading everything i could, i was still a little confused at the developers instructions on how to flash from each rom. As i was still on KitKat 4.4.2 and already autorec, i updated my TWRP to the specified Blastagator 3.0.2-1 then flashed Lineage 14.1 and Gapps 7.1. Got a bootloop as i'd forgotten the CAF Bootstacker. I got back into recovery, flashed the bootstacker and then re-flashed the Rom and Gapps. Worked a treat.

Until...

Root isn't enabled by default in Lineage 14.1. It's in developer options and needs to be turned on. However, this is still only a root permission for ADB and NOT apps. If you want root enabled for apps, you need to install Super User. I read this --> (lineageosdownloads.com/root-lineage-os) and in method 1 it says what i've just written. I scrolled down to method 2 which says to get the newest file from the supersu website. I appear to have scrolled past and missed the "Update 2" part where it says that people have reported problems after installing Supersu. Problems was an understatement in my case. I ended up with a black screen and a secure boot error in a loop. Couldn't boot the rom or get back into recovery. Nightmare! The only thing i could do was put it in download mode. So i did. I spent the afternoon gathering the LG Flashtool, a stock UK Rom, Autorec, ioRoot and various other bits and bobs to take it back to fresh from the factory spec. That all went well until i realised i had the jellybean rom which is a faff to root. So back to google it was to get the stock KitKat Rom and do it all again. All sorted now and then i went straight from KitKat back to Lineage 14.1 using the aforementioned files.

Further reading of ----->(lineageosdownloads.com/root-lineage-os) leads to method 3 which is to download the Lineage Superuser file and flash that instead. I'm a bit reluctant now given todays fun and games but at least i've got the tools for the job to hand if it all goes wonky again.

This was all done on a 16gb D802 Uk model

I hope this helps someone

Is there any easy version to install twrp on Verizon g2? I can't for the life of me find a way to flash custom recovery on my vs980
[G2 General] kruuzer92:
[MENTION=8882681]blueplasticsoulman[/MENTION] I'm totally new to flashing and installing custom ROM's. Can you tell me what is CAF Bootstacker? Where can it be downloaded from?

Would you say these are the steps you would use then?

1. Get root and TWRP (LGOneClickRootRecovery)

2. Go to TWRP and update TWRP by flashing zip file

2a. Flash CAF Bootstacker

3. Go to TWRP and wipe everything except internal storage

4. Flash LineageOS 14.1 & Gapps

5. Reboot system

Thanks.
[G2 General] kruuzer92:
From your zip file (LGG2-D802-OneClickRootRecoveryV1.1.zip), which files should I replace if I want to do this for an LG G2 D801?

Would it just be the recovery.img file (which I'm assuming is the twrp recovery image)? Or do I have to get device specific versions for busybox, aboot.img, laf.img, and boot.img also?

Thanks.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spir4:
Hey,

Immediately after I've downgraded from Lollipop to Kitkat, the phone started downloading the Lollipop update (before I was able to disable the auto-update option).

I want to delete that file, but I can't find it. According to many how-tos I've found it's supposed to be in the /cache folder, but it isn't. I've tried searching for "fota" and "n9005" (because most firmware names have that string in it), but didn't find it.

My phone is rooted.

I've also looked at the Software Updater app in Settings/applications/all to try to clear the cache, but it says it only has 12kb cache.

Does anyone have an idea where I could find the file?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zlazaar:
Look for it in /data/fota
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spir4:
Perfect, there it was! Thank you so much.

Any idea how to get rid of the update message? It keeps asking to install the update although I've removed the file.

I've read to accept the installation. Then it will reboot, and nothing will happen. But I don't dare doing that. Are there other ways? Or is this method safe?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zlazaar:
Freeze the system updater package using Titanium backup.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spir4:
Any other options which don't require the need to install extra apps?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zlazaar:
Simply rename the package (something like SamsungUpdates.apk.BAK) then reboot.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spir4:
And isn't that Samsung updater necessary for other things?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zlazaar:
No, and in case you face problems, rename it back to .apk

Or, you can go to Settings/Application Manager and disable the Notifications of Google Play Services.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spir4:
And how about the option to click on "install". Will that work to get rid of the notifications, since there is no file anymore to install?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zlazaar:
Sorry, i can't recommend something i didn't tried myself. But i think you don't risk anything by trying.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spir4:
I'll have a look into it a bit further, and I'll let you know if I do it and what its result is.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spir4:
I've finally gotten the guts to press the "install" button, and it immediately said that OTA updates aren't supported on modified devices. Gone notification, even after reboot. Yay :D

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] TaRkA:
I recently bought a MDA Vario II off Ebay, works great, when I got it I unlocked it and hard reset then clicked cancel so none of the Tmobile **** is installed. This is a wm5 phone on o2 pay and go.

The problem I am having is I cant use gprs, wap or use mms's.

Ive tried using all these sites (plus more) to no avail:

http://www.o2.co.uk/services/ota4/select

http://www.o2.co.uk/services/waystoconnect/getsetup

http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/ppc-faq/6251-q-what-uk-roi-gprs-settings-web-wap-mms.html

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=299023

Ive tried installing the o2 cabs that you can find through the last link, none work. Ive checked, and double checked all settings for getting wap but it doesn't work. I cant receive email or go online.

One annoying thing, when I go into my messages folder and click on menu there is nothing I can click on to add mms settings! Argh!!

Has anyone experienced this before or know how to fix it? Recon upgrading to a cooked wm6 rom might bring it back, or a hard reset and installing the tmobile crap will work?

Cheers, T
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Mark Crouch:
There's a whole load of CABs for Operator settings on the Wiki - see here - scroll down to the O2 cab in the UK section.

Now, what I'm not sure of is whether the settings for PAYG are different to those for contract phones; however, given your lack of success so far, it won't hurt to try :)

EDIT: Read posts 1 & 6 (specifically) in this post for a load more info re: O2 PAYG settings :D

Hope this helps,

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] TaRkA:
Id tried the first one already, second one was new to me.

I installed it and nothing worked, so I changed the settings to pay and go, still doesn't work. The option for using MMS's hasn't even appeared!

I'm actually getting ****ing fed up with o2 now :)

I even read that they wont allow mobile internet fully... thats bull!

If anyone has any other suggestions that would great, otherwise Im gonna switch providers. Probably to 3 or t-mobile.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] StarMonkee:
Try the attached cab, install it, soft reset, then you should get a 'connection setup' option in the connections control panel.

It should detect your carrier and automatically set everything up :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] TaRkA:
Installed and it seems to have installed everything for contact o2. I tried changing all the settings it did to payandgo but when I try and access the web, ie, google.co.uk it displays that it is connected but internet explorer has a pop up that says 'the page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost'.

But when I try and access wsp://wap.o2.co.uk I get an error from the 'G' symbol at the top saying 'cannot connect for an unknown reason'.

I have checked and double checked the settings and nothing is working :/ still no option for MMS either :/

Think I will try and hard reset and reinstall all the t-mobile ****e... see what happens.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] TaRkA:
Haha! Got it working!

I did a hard reset and let it install all the t-mobile ****e. Then changed all the t-mobile internet settings to o2 ones and it works!

****ing strange considering its the exact same settings I had used a hundred times before. The t-mobile rom must have a registry setting or something.

The MMS options have even appeared now, should just have to tweak the settings to get it working!

Cheers for the help anyway guys!

EFIDroid is a easy to use, powerful 2ndstage-bootloader based on EDKII(UEFI).

It can be installed one-click with the EFIDroidManager app. You can add/remove/edit multiboot ROM's.

There's no special support needed by ROM's or RecoveryTools(no kexec etc).

EFIDroid official/generic thread here

Supported devices

Note: Tested on SM-G900V/kltevzw other variant are untested, but should work.

samsung/klteuc

samsung/kltevl

samsung/kltespr

samsung/kltetmo

samsung/klteusc

samsung/kltevzw

samsung/klteub

samsung/kltedv

samsung/kltexx

FAQ

this is a UEFI port, can we port Windows?

no, trust me.

Can I still use fastboot after installing this?

If you flash to the boot/recovery partitions, UEFI will be overwritten.(dd in android/recovery instead). all other partitions work as usual.

I FOUND A BUG

Report it on Github. If there already is an issue for your bug and you don't have anything useful to add, just hit the thumbs-up button. This way I know how many people are affected and can adjust my priority list. I will not keep track of all bugs reported in posts of this thread. If you want a bug to get fixed, report it on github

Installation

Just download the attached EFIDroidManager App, the EFIDroid Manager app from the Play Store won't work.

Open the menu (at the top left), and click "Install/Update".

Click the big orange Install button.

Multibooting

You can use EFIDroid as a multiboot manager. To add a multiboot ROM, do the following:

Open the EFIDroid Manager app. Press the plus button at the bottom right side of the screen to start adding a multiboot slot.

Under "Location", there should be a couple paths. Select the one containing "/data/media/0".

You can give the slot a name/description by using the appropriate fields.

Press the checkmark at the top right side of the screen to create the multiboot slot.

Reboot. When EFIDroid comes up, select TWRP, then select the newly created slot.

Go to the "Wipe > Advanced Wipe" menu. Select "System", then swipe to wipe.

Install all the zips you want on that slot.

NOTE: To prevent accidentall data loss when booting in recovery the real /sdcard gets mocked so you are not going to find your .zips as usual under TWRP's /sdcard. To acces the "real" /sdcard go to /multiboot/data/media/0

Reboot, and when EFIDroid comes up, your new slot should automatically be selected. Press the power button to boot, and enjoy!

IMPORTANT:your main ROM should boot without changing any configuration on EFIDroid but secondary ROM's are used to fail because of selinux denials. I strongly reccomend you to enable Force SELinux to permissive under EFIDroid options (the Gear icon in the main screen placed at the top right) - Once you kwon your secondary ROM is working you can try to boot without this option disabled - If you end up in a bootloop logcat and dmesg are welcome.
