You need to update your baseband to match the rom version, have you done that?
Hey I am really not too sure if I have done that or not is there any possible way you could maybe tell me how to do that or figure out how to match the baseband choose a version that I am on which would be the 11a

CM11 is KitKat, if you need Jellybean on the phone to work with T-Mobile, there aren't many choices out there, you'd have to look through the older dev threads for 4.2.2 roms...
So in order to get a ROM it'll have to be a jellybean ROM? How would I put a recovery on the phone just through the autorec apk? And if I was to put a 4.2.2 ROM on the phone would it honestly work or bootloop me?

You have the right bootstack (sorry confused that with baseband) for a JB rom. You may want to look at this though..
People running KitKat with T-Mobile. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727307
You'll need to upgrade your bootstack to match the rom version, you can find basebands here in the bottom of the first post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715408
I appreciate that I think I may end up having to stay on the stock jellybean though lol sucks but that's just what I think it is it looks extra complicated all though I am sure it's simple but look super complicated ha. I have no idea what a bootstrack is even after reading that

Ok guys. I have come up with a method to install 4.4.2 international and T-Mobile ROMs without ADB.
I am using some stuff from @drakeymcmb and @Hashcode
I however need some help.
I will not be doing a tutorial yet because this is not complete.
I used EchoeROM from the International section. It boots and runs fine for the most part.
Bugs I can't figure out how to fix but have ideas for based on fixes from the AT&T S4.
Wi-Fi will not turn on. (I will need @Hashcode to help with that.)
Using the ATT PTA apns works, but is shoddy with LTE.
I ran into one random reboot when opening messaging. Didn't happen after it booted up again.
If you guys could give me a hand. I and the community would love you.
THIS IS NOT AND MAY NEVER BE A FINAL METHOD. DO NOT ASK FOR ETA's. AS OF RIGHT NOW, THIS IS ONLY A PROOF OF CONCEPT.
Reserved for screen shots showing proof.

It involves a combo of Odin and safe strap. Basically the exact process for XRom and Knoxraid. I have not seen any posts or topics about it.so I am fairly confident that we can work together to get more ROMs on our device.

OK guys. Waking up first then gathering all the files/links together for this install method for my one and only tester. I need more testers though. If you are willing to put this install method to the test, please PM me.
This is a warning. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEVICE. If you choose to be a tester, that is all on you. Make sure you have a full backup of both your internal and external SD cards somewhere on your computer. I again am not responsible if you lose important data. Make sure that you do this now while I prepare to put this out for testers and testers only.
Right now, you should also download an International 4.4.2 ROM that does not use Aroma for install. I used the EchoeRom for my test.
I would like anyone that wants to test for me to be ready so that we can speed up this process.

Files are almost ready for distro. I ran into a problem while testing so I need to extract some stuff from KnoxRaid and build a flashable zip file to be used in SS and package it with the files I will have the testers download. I also realized that you will wipe the internal SD card so MAKE A BACKUP. Any files to be flashed via Safestrap need to be on the External SD.
Sent from my Nexus 7 2013 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I just cannot get Wifi or NFC to turn on... I have tried building an update package to flash with SS, but it doesn't help... I am going to try a few more things and test some more. I know you guys want this, but I want it working on my end before I start sending it out.
Did you get it to work?
I can only get the ROM to boot...
NFC and wifi will not turn on. I have tried multiple different routes to get them functional, but to no avail. I'm gonna take a break for a bit. Clear my mind and try again. I need a package to fix those and to help save time with setup a package to flash the correct LTE APNs to the phone so users don't have to input them manually.

I seem to have gotten over my head here being fairly new to android in general but wanting to try out all the new stuff lol.
Basically, I updated my LG G2 with the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant but after updating proceeded to screw up a few system files in the process. The kicker is I didn't know that installing this update was going to remove my TWRP custom recovery!
So now... It seems I am stuck with a buggy kitkat and cannot reinstall it because
- my custom recovery is gone and it seems that I can't reflash it do to my being on kitkat (24a)
- Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant won't upgrade the phone again because in it's view I have the latest and greatest.
- using factory reset doesn't seem to be fixing the underlying issue of system files being corrupted but simply wipes user data and apps.
What am I to do? Am I doomed to have a buggy phone until CWM or TWRP support LG G2 so I can install a ROM?
Or is there something I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
If you still have root, you can use this, AutoRec - KitKat Recovery Installer
http://forum.xda-developers.com /showthread.php?t=2715496
If you do not have root it would be best to start fresh by following this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45694605
Then use IORoot to root your phone, thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48709232
After rooting use AutoRec-Kit Kat Recovery Installer and you will be good to go.
Hope all this helps.

If you updated to kitkat then downgraded to 4.2.2 knock on will be broken. You need to go into the hidden service menu 3845#*950# and go to hw device test , touch test, then update touch firmware.

Any progress on the T-mobile rom for the Sprint LS995?
OK here's the deal, IOroot25 method, rooted flawlessly. Made an attempt to install openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-vs980 via flashify which forced phone into reboot. now stuck in lg boot with secure boot error with a boot certification verify, followed by auto-mount of device showing contents of multiple drivers within the vs980 I can access download mode but not recovery. Unfortunately while in download mode ubuntu 14.04 doesnt recognize device through adb or fastboot. verified both adb and fastboot are operational with my nexus7 device. I also checked android51 rules for allowance of vs980. I have read through xda dev threads for 3 days (night and day) trying to figure this thing out without any luck. I would really like some assistance here you guys.... lol anything would be greatly appreciated at this point.
You might need to get a Windows machine and use the lg flash tool to flash the kdz file.

Looks like the Freedom tool is the way to go on 24a. But until bootloader is fully unlocked, we will continue to have stability issues. Every ROM is working off of the Loki patch.

Of course it is possible with SD card and completely without PC. If you have flashable zip file with Stock ROM with all images (recovery, etc.), you can do it as easilly as flashing custom ROM.
If you could point me in the direction of a flashable stock rom as I haven't seen any for the N version, or would a non N version work?

I haven´t seen any flashable stock ROM for N version, but if you download official version from sammobile, process of making flashable ROM (e.g. via Android Kitchen) must be same as for version without NFC.
