This has been extremely helpful for mods on the S4 Active with a locked bootloader. It is not the same as having a out-of-rom recovery but it is a nice work around as mods start flowing to this device. I have flash MANY mods for the Active and it has been GREAT. The developer is working on ideas for flashing roms but currently this is not for flashing roms, do not even try. This has not been tested yet for the G2 and I would not try it until your carrier has a restore option available (currently Verizon, Tmobile and AT&T have one and they can be found here. All credit goes to the original developer and here is his original thread
Do this at your own risk, by flashing a zip without a nandroid back up this can cause a software brick and you will have to restore
1. Install busy box from the play store (YOU NEED ROOT)
2. Install the apk from the forum
3. download the zip you want to flash
4. Select flash now and reboot
If you have get the error that says the zip is not a flashable zip here are some things that will help:
1. make sure there are NO spaces in the zip name
2. make sure the zip name is short
3. if you still get the error that says this is not a flashable zip reinstall busybox and advance features
4. Flash Gordon does not play nice with AROMA installer so the zip must not have the included
5. Check the download zip, sometimes it can get corrupt while downloading to your phone. Try to transfer the zip from a PC and flashing it. (this has happened once to me)
Has this been tested?

It's not the zip that's in question. I've made enough of them to kill and elephant. It's the recovery. One has not been made specific for this phone yet, that I'm aware of. I'm under the impression that they are not universal.

I just rooted my view last night.. I flashed recovery once, enough to put the SU file on SD card to root. But since then, I've tried to do a backup (through ROM manager) and the white HTC screen pops up and doesn't go away. So then I tried to do it manually through hboot and when I choose recovery it does the same thing .. what do you think might be the problem? I'm very new to this so I'm hoping it is something simple that I missed... Please help

You'll lose it but you can get it back by using odin to install recovery (TWRP 2.5) and TWRP will see you have no root and ask you if you want to install it before you reboot

I think kitkat cm11 roms use permissive selinux permissions, so not affected. Stock CWM doesn't support selinux. However, maybe on some apps it could help
In any case, for cm-10.2 and 11, it is a good idea to have it enabled

It's possible to get a pre-rooted system.img with SS, install it, immediately reboot into download mode, install boot.img (kernel and ramdisk), modem, bootloader images, etc... then reboot. S4 guys did it. It's completely feasible for us. I can provide instructions for you to do this, but it may be somewhat verbose.
If we as a community are interested in seeing further leaks, I'd advise against uploading any mirrors of these files. The uploader has requested exclusivity. This seems like a fair trade-off to me.
Hey guys
Please please please
For the sake of development.....do not mirror this file at all. The individual responsible for the file does not want any mirrors uploaded.
Thanks for understanding.

It's possible to get a pre-rooted system.img with SS, install it, immediately reboot into download mode, install boot.img (kernel and ramdisk), modem, bootloader images, etc... then reboot. S4 guys did it. It's completely feasible for us. I can provide instructions for you to do this, but it may be somewhat verbose.
If we as a community are interested in seeing further leaks, I'd advise against uploading any mirrors of these files. The uploader has requested exclusivity. This seems like a fair trade-off to me.

I thought we can only install roms with Safestrap. Not even a kernal. How can this be accomplished through SS. Just curious, I'm not a developer.

Convert system.img.ext4 to img, extract contents, apply su/ss, create TWRP zip, safestrap to system, reboot into download mode, flash everything else using Heimdall except original system.img.ext4 since it's not rooted.

I'm not seeing a mirror yet on the site at all. Is it on that page yet?

It's not up yet. I posted that as a precaution. If and when it does, hopefully we can all respect the sources request

You also need files from cache.img.ext4 that ultimately end up in /system.
Has kingo been successful with any of the other KK N3 variants?

No we'll have to use a modified upgrade method.

Also, it's just sec_csc.zip from /cache/recovery that needs to be flashed in Recovery.

I hope the modem is improved, along with Wifi.
