So i just got a brand new LG G2 , wanted to start straight with a custom rom, read that it was safest to take the 11A onwards route to be safe cause the new way the bootloader is flashed may cause hardware issues.
So i flash the11A tot
Root using IOroot
install PhilZ recovery using Flashify
then from recovery pushed the 11A to 24A zip.
i tried installing the Malladus rom however it completed in 5 seconds and i dont think it really flashed
Rebooted to TWRP ( Which i suppose came from the malladus) tried the same, ofcourse did the factory rest too , still the same
Then tried sideloading which gave me the error code 7
tried another file which just didnt push itself
What am i doing wrong here , if someone could shed some light the best way to get from 11A to kitkat would be much appreciated.
i have installed the TOT now back to 11A.
nm figured it out , had to reboot recovery post updating the bootloader for kitkat

I tried to update my brothers phone to 4.4 from 12B because he kept saying that it would try to update but would fail which I didn't understand why because he only had root but that's not the problem. I installed TWRP and made a backup right away. I then installed the boot stack from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715408 then rebooted and was bootlooping. So, I put it in recovery mode and think I probably messed something up so I'll just restore the backup I made. I restore it and everything is looking good no errors or anything until I go to reboot it and it's still bootlooping. I'm stuck here because everything I've tried has failed.
I recommend following the restore to stock instructions (the tot method going to 11a then OTA to 12b) in the general section. Then use Cloudy's Malidus 2.0.2 files to update to 4.4.2.

being that the m8 dev edition phones r getting lollipop update AS I TYPE THIS, I find myself prepping for when we get the update.. I've modified many system files, so I've got the stock odex Rom downloaded and was about to download stock recovery when I realized my laptop is toast and don't have access to Another cpu for quite awhile . I've flashed twrp over the stock recovery with Flashify with no problems, but wondering if flashing stock recovery back over twrp with flashify is any different or if anyone else has done so, and if there's any problems? (yes I know it's always recommended to use fastboot, but I can't, no pc) ... I've used flashify many times, just not putting stock recovery back... Any feedback is much appreciated..

I don't know if it will work but you can give it a try.
You can use alray's DevEd Rom Reset just select stock recovery

Can't use it, I'm on Verizon. Unless there's a stock Rom reset for VZW.. Just wrote the question here because it's a wider audience than the vzw forum, and generally speaking, if it'll work on 1 it should work on the other. Just looking for confirmation to c if anybody's done it before.
I figured that being that when I used flashify 2 flash twrp and it worked n wrote to the correct partition, it SHOULD work the other way around. Just never done it with a stock htc recovery.
Hi guys....I have a few issues....my Verizon LG G2 is rooted. I have twrp 2.7.0 as my custom recovery. It won't let me flash the newest update! As well as it randomly reboots on me...it's annoying. Also I tried to flash cm12 and gapps and is said it was successful. Well it sent me through a bootloop and thankfully I was able to manually enter recovery mode and restore to my previous back up. But what am I doing wrong?! I need help! I'm new at this. Thanks!
PS. I used vs980_AutoRec.apk to get TWRP
I assume you are coming from stock which is kitkat based. CM12 is jb based, so you'll need to flash the 12b bootstack (found in xdabbebs thread)before installing CM.
ok so I was on a 4.4.4 ROM and decided to go back to stock via the 39a kdz and then root and flash @MicroMod777's extreme v1.1 ROM. I could never get past the bootanimation (lots of different combos omited to make long story shorter..) so I restored my nandroid back the 4.4.4 ROM, I tried to boot into DL mode again to start fresh again and my DL mode was gone, so I did flashed the 26a bootstack and DL mode missing fix, that restored DL mode to what I assumed was functional, in that it booted and into the DL screen. I tried restoring via the 2014 flash tool and the 39a KDZ I had used previously.. It gets to the updating software and errors at 2% every time, I have redownloaded the 39a file, I even flashed an older bootstack, I have tried different kdz files, i have tried a different computer where i know the drivers are "fresh" no matter what the KDZ will fail at 2%.. I have even tried what I assume is the official LG tool and it errors at the same point.
Weird thing is I just flashed the 39 extreme v1.1 rom and 39a bootstack and I have a fully functional phone, I just can't kdz back to stock.. it's really not the end of the world but it bothers me..
I am just posting this here to see if anyone has heard of a similar issue or knows of a fix.
thanks!

I have that same problem!! Could really use help!!
Why not use xdabbebs full revert to stock zips if you cant kdz?
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/development/vs98039a-stock-fw-t3051560
Also, do you get any sort of errors when the kdz is running? Are you using the correct dll per the kdz flashing posts?

Ok a little backstory. So I just got a Verizon G2 and put it on Straight Talk, everything works great.
I rooted via Stump Root. I was on Version 27A
Installed TWRP via AutoRec
Flashed the latest CM for the VS980
Flashed gapps
Gapps install failed, now I get the LG splash screen, then just a black screen. Phone won't boot or anything. Any thoughts on what happened or what to do?
This is the link tot he gapps I downloaded and tried to install. http://opengapps.org/?api=6.0&variant=nano
The options I chose were:
ARM
Android 4.4
Full
If I need to go back to stock, I need to know what the latest version is that I need to flash for the TOT file.
Currently in the process of going back to stock via LG Flash Tool. Nothing is working. Returning the phone to stock is not working. On the phone itself it just gets stuck at 1% and doesn't move when I choose "CSE Flash." When I choose "Normal Flash" it's just stuck at 0% and doesn't move. It doesn't fail, but it doesn't move either.
For reference I was on 27A and am trying to restore 24A
Phone is restoring now after using the TOT method to restore 24A, and changing the model dll to the LGUP dll file.
