[Q] Q: downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 Spr - LG G Flex

I've got a G Flex coming to me in a few days. I'm hoping it's still on JB. But if it isn't, is there a way to get it back to JB from KK?
I've looked around here and I cannot seem to find my answer.
I appreciate any help.
Thank you.

you have to do factory reset, but be careful because there are brick issues if you do factory reset using kernel stockrom

And?? What's the problem? You can still use Odin or Kies to flash another Stock ROM... It won't increase your binary counter if you use stock.

Hi Fella, I had the same problem with mine, for whatever reason it wasnt there, just download Kies, update with that to the latest firmware version on your phone and you will find that the magic update option becomes avaiable on your phone again.

This is confirmed working on the i537 AT&T leaked 4.3? Screenshots if you have please, just curious. I'm still on 4.2.2 stock w/ SafeStrap installed. Didn't really look into getting 4.3 leaked since only root methods supposedly had malware. :fingers-crossed:
Screens hots are borked in the leak but trust me in have already flashed a lock screen mod and can confirm it worked

Sweet deal, I'll check it out when I get a little free time off from work. I won't be able to get any OTA/Official updates from AT&T for my i537 anyways since I switched to Tmo last year. Locked BL sucks!

Look at my list of previous devices. All have been modded mainly with info from XDA. I have been my own guinea pig plenty of times, I assure you.
I'm not saying you cant...I discovered this worked for our device by going out on a limb a trying it. If I could get the ota I would have already tried.

Be careful if you want root. So far, that I know there is no root yet for the AT&T LG G2 KitKat update. We had to come up with a work around to retain while going to KitKat and same method will not be possible since we do not have recovery :-/
At 1201 am est I will begin pounding my update button.

Restore to stock if you made any mods, root and use the SuerpSU option to survive OTA update and see if you keep root
Guys speaking of recoveries be careful taking an ota. There are a couple people or at least 1 I know if working on a recovery. No guarantee whatever they figure out (if they do) will work with kit kat

I had to move my calendar a day forward (from checking the update too often) but it just popped up! I'm rooted, and debating what to do: thinking I will try the unroot option from SU and the root keeper option. Also turned on OTA root keeper just in case that works too?

Proof

I DID NOT MAKE THIS AT ALL ONLY FOLLOWING UP
Here are a few Pictures of Loki working on the Sprint LG-LS955 I will not release how it is done because its not my work !!!! If you want to thank someone thank Shellnutt for his hard work point blank. I am only testing, Please do not flood this with remarks. Just tring to show people that we are working on it. There is no eta as we need kernels to test and Roms. Show if you are a builder please feel free to pm me with a kernel to test. Im sure that it will be ported to all Flex models. So I would say go back to the bounty and start give these people something to work for.
Thank you for understanding
Hopefully there will soon be for all
Wow great work guys! Fingers cross for D959.
Well thank you for sharing. I'm confused though. What it's it you need to test? Are you saying you need a stock flashable sprint kernel? I'm sure either me or matt will download whatever files we need and make it for you.

Honesty I wouldn't advise it unless you're prepared to go back to stock. We don't even know what's locked but if this is what it is then it would flash.
Oh I didn't even know that there was a bounty. I could careless about that. I do this for fun.
