First off, I'm not by any remote chance a developer or anything of the sort, I'm just your typical flashaholic enthusiast who thought he bought the wrong model phone, as development for the Canadian D801/D803 is seriously lacking. All I'm trying to do in this thread is trying to bring every bit and pieces of its development into a single thread. I'll try and give credit where credit is due, so please, if you believe you are the one to credit for something I post, let me know so I can give you the corresponding credit.
I cannot stress enough, please do a Nandroid backup before you attempt ANYTHING! I will not be held responsible for anything you do to destroy your phone! You have been warned!
Phone models compatible with this thread:
*Claro PR D801
*Wind Mobile D801
*Videotron D801
*Rogers D803
*Bell D803
*Telus D803
T-Mobile D801 is NOT compatible
Install TWRP Recovery on LG G2 Running Android 4.4.2 KitKat ROM (All Models))
If you lose knock on/off feature, just dial 3845#*80x# (change x for phone version)
Then go to setting and update touchscreen firmware. Thanks to @Rotopeon for the heads up!
Now to the good stuff!
I'll first post the kernels that are compatible with this phone; to me, this piece of the puzzle alone is the most important to me, as this allows you to basically flash any rom you like to this phone.
Unofficial Cyanogenmod 12.1 for the LG G2 D803
Say thanks to @zr239 in his thread for this!
Kernels
1- Wootever kernel
Just click the one that reads (d803-custom-05) [Canada]. This kernel has the generic connectivity icons (no LTE icon etc). Merely cosmetic, LTE speeds remains the same.
2-Furnace kernel
Download the one that says D803 (for BOTH, do NOT download the one that says D801!) This kernel has the stock (your company issued) connectivity icons (4G LTE icons etc). Merely cosmetic, LTE speeds remains the same.
3- Dorimanx kernel
Download the one that says D803, flash in recovery
4- Stock Claro PR (D801) kernel
File was repacked correctly to not break Wifi, cross compatible with other D801 phones and D803. This kernel has the generic connectivity icons (no LTE icon etc). Merely cosmetic, LTE speeds remains the same. Thanks @prking07 for the repack!
5- Stock D803 kernel
File was repacked correctly to not break Wifi, cross compatible with other D803 phones and D801. This kernel has the stock (your company issued) connectivity icons (4G LTE icons etc). Merely cosmetic, LTE speeds remains the same. Thanks @prking07 for the repack!
6- Houstonn's D803 AOSP Kernel 01-20-2014
7- Simple Kernel (Kit Kat compatible kernel)
Root
1- Kingo ROOT
This is how I personally have rooted various LG G2 phones; to me, it's the single, most easiest way to root almost ANY JB device. Try and see if this works for you.
2- Alternate root method
Try this if Kingo fails for you
Modems
By cross compatibility, it's implied that you will not cripple your phone if you flash any of these modems to a compatible phone: signal quality and end user experience may vary, so test whichever is better for you. If LTE goes missing on your phone, dial *#*#4636#*#*, and in phone info, and select the LTE option. There's also apps in the Play Store that can do this for you.. Although these have been tested already, you never know when the planets will align and make thing go awry, so always make a nandroid, and please BACKUP YOUR EFS IF YOU'RE GOING TO MESS WITH MODEMS!
1- Stock D801 Claro PR modem
Retains cross compatibility. Flash via recovery.
2- Rogers stock D803 modem
Retains cross compatibility. Flash via recovery.
3- Stock Bell D803 Modem
Retains cross compatibility. Flash via recovery.
4- T-Mobile stock modem
Flash this radio to you D801/D803, if, after flashing a T Mobile based rom, you get lousy signal. Will not brick/erase/destroy your phone. Flash via recovery.
5- KK Baseband If you're planning on upgrading to Kit Kat from 4.2.2 JB or AOSP, FLASH this file (baseband) before flashing the kit kat rom of your choice
Roms
Just download your favorite rom file, flash it via recovery, and IMMEDIATELY afterwards, flash one of the provided kernels in this thread! If you don't do this, you'll end up in fastboot!
1- Stock Bell Rom (rooted)
2- AOSP Roms: sweet compilation by @Dene_Bluesman!
3- Stock Claro PR Kit Kat KDZ file (Flash stock Claro ROM 4.2.2 JB, then flash this; if you do not, you'll be stuck on 49%)
4- Flashable Bell stock Kitkat D803B20e
5- Flashable Rogers stock Kit Kat D803R20D
6- Liquid Smooth AOSP
Recovery
1- TWRP 2.6.3.2
Bell Mobile
Roger Mobile (Also compatible with Claro PR)
2- TWRP 2.6.3.4
Download the file named (d803-twrp-recovery) [Canada], and flash it via custom recovery
3- Philz Recovery
To flash:
Download the above file and place it in /sdcard on your device. Using adb shell or terminal emulator:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
Make certain that you get this command right. Typing the wrong number could result in a brick!
Or if you comfortable with it, just Flashify the file
Here's a D803 Build prop just in case you need it

I can see that lol. I wouldn't mess around with radios too much, it's super easy to cripple your phone if you do. Now kernels, you can mess with them all you want. Bad comes to worse, you'll end up in fastboot, but just flash a working kernel and you're game.

Hey nice thread, very helpful and with everything they basically need to know for a head start. Just a few recommendations though.
I like to install the custom recovery first cuz that way I can make a nandroid of my phone's stock unrooted ROM. I'm not sure if that will clear the root check when restored but anyways is good to have a stock unrooted backup. That's a life saver for when you decide to root you phone and start playing with new ROMs and kernels. Then when you finally find a good ROM that you love and is stable you can delete it to free some space.
Also if you can edit the title to something like "[Canadian & Claro PR d803] Development" so that people looking for a thread with Claro info can know it's here. Our phones are actually 803s so maybe having 801/803 can confuse people; IDK. The stock ROM says 801 but I really have no idea why. Maybe they made their ROM kanging the T-Mo 801
Anyways anything I can help with I'm always here. Anyone can PM me when needed
So just to be clear, I can flash ANY Rom as long as I flash my stock kernel in recovery right after?

Doesnt break lte per se, if you dial *#*#4636#*#* phone info, and select lte it will work.
At least, me personally have tried every single d801/d803 modem on my phone, all work the same. Even the tmo one.

Your stock kernel or a kernel designed for your phone (custom or not). So far all roms work using this method; if you find a Rom that does not work, please let us know, as this would pretty much be the first one. Always have a nandroid ready just in case.

Hi all,
First, i would like to thanks omegajester for this great post
Next, my device is a LG G2 D801V11B LG-801 variant on Videotron canada.
I am confused as to which kernel, modem, recovery, roms i should put on my device, as all I really see is information for d803 or (one that i didn't know about) Claro Puerto Rico:
from the kernel section
1- Wootever kernel
Just click the one that reads (d803-custom-05) [Canada] ...
2-Furnace kernel
Download the one that says D803 ...
3- Stock Claro PR (D801) kernel
File was repacked correctly to not break Wifi, cross compatible with other D801 phones and D803 ...
4- Stock D803 kernel
Same confusion goes for the modem section :
1- Stock D801 Claro PR modem
Retains cross compatibility. Flash via recovery. ...
2- Rogers stock D803 modem
Retains cross compatibility. Flash via recovery. ...
3- Stock Bell D803 Modem
Retains cross compatibility. Flash via recovery. ...
4- T-Mobile stock modem
Flash this radio to you D801/D803 ...
I know this is very crucial. I know mine is label under the basband version : M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190036
I got my phone rooted using the Chinese root method which worked well. I think I have tried installing all the TWRP version I could find and the only i got working is the 2.6.3.2 which if I am not mistaken prevent you from installing 4.4 rom (SELinux protection... ) By talking with Dees_troy he was able to provide me with a 2.6.3.3 test version of TWRP which is great but still can't install 4.4 roms.
My question is as follow:
At the end of the day, will I be able to install 4.4 rom on a twrp 4.4 on my canadian videotron version of the G2?
Thanks in advance
and sorry if I missed something or did not correctly understood something in the OP I have read it multiple time but still unsure as to what install/flash

Your D801 is basically a D803 in disguise. This being said, you should be able to flash any D803 branded piece to your phone. Example, my Claro PR D801 worked wonderfully with Roger's D803 TWRP version; also, kernels branded with D803 should work with your phone too (as they do with mine). Modems, unless you're experiencing crappy signal, should be left alone, unless you feel like testing different modems; usually LTE goes away, but can be reactivated with the methods posted in the OP. You should be able to flash the 2.6.3.4 TWRP on your phone without too much problem, and be able to, in fact, flash a 4.4.2 rom (as I have before- I end up always going back to a stock LG based rom though). Try it out and let us know how it goes!
PS: If you wish, you can leave us your stock modem and kernel files and we'll uploaded it here for the benefit of everyone, and gladly give you the credit for it :good:

So my aunt has am AT&T Galaxy Note on T-Mobile and I told the store she purchased the phone from to flash the T-Mobile radios so that she can get 4G HSPA+ but the device is stuck on gingerbread and I would really like to update it to stock Jellybean with Touchwiz? If I use Odin to flash the latest update will she lose her unlock? But then will it need to be unlocked now that T-Mobile has 4G LTE in Las Vegas? I figured all she would need to do is buy a new T-Mobile 4G LTE compatible SIM and then use that but I'm not sure. Can the new firmware be rooted and can it be unlocked if need be? Also, she broke the mirco-usb port so is there any way that I can flash to stock without the use of that port? I'm really sorry for all the questions but if anyone could answer them I would be very grateful.
If the usb port is broken, you won't be able to use Odin. Is the device rooted? If it is there is hope! If not, you're up the river without a paddle.

I know right but luckily the device is rooted and because the shop said they flashed the T-Mobile radios, I believe it has a custom recovery on it.
Whew! I'm glad to hear you're already rooted. You can forget about Odin now. Flashing roms ands modems thru recovery won't lose your unlocked SIM info. First thing I would do is update your recovery. Then you can flash a new JB rom. A lot of newer roms depend on TWRP recovery. You can find that here in the original android development section. Read carefully and follow the install via .zip way. Since you're on tmobile I'd read the post just before this one about JB and what modems are working best. I'm on at&t so I can't help you there. They also remark on what roms they are running. You can follow their lead, or check out all three available roms in the development selection. Again read the developers directions, and make sure the rom is for your device before you flash anything. Then enjoy!
I didn't see any mention of having installed a custom recovery. If the OP hasn't done that he can still update to the latest stock rom using Kies Air. He can get that from the app store.
Being rooted has nothing to do with any of this. Rom flashing only depends on having 1) a pc with Odin and a working usb port, or 2)having a custom recovery already installed.
Flashing a custom rom won't affect the radio you already have, but if you update to the JB stock rom it will flash the current baseband (modem).
Unlocking is permanent. No flashing can change that phone back to a locked state.
Yes, you need a 4G LTE sim card, but under even best conditions you will mostly see 4G only (HSPA+ ).
I might be wrong, but to use T-Mobile's LTE you have to use a stock AT&T Rom. I'm in Houston and we just got LTE here.

You can use your choice of stock or custom roms with LTE.
UCLF6, UCMB4, UCMD3 can all be used under ICS, JB custom roms. 4.0.4, 4.1.2, 4.2.2 or the likes. Cyanogenmod, paranoid, slim, padawan, it doesn't matter.
On anything but stock samsung you can *#*#4636#*#* into dialer then phone options to change between lte and wcdma or all. Also available under settings/mobile network/preference.
Those are the 3 most current modems with access to LTE. UCLF6 being from the official ICS last year.

I don't think there is a dependence on which recovery you use but more of a recommendation. I've flashed many ROMs with CWM that the developer recommended using TWRP and they worked just fine. So, long as you do the procedure right, it doesn't matter what recovery you use.
Not responsible for damaged phones, use at your own risk!
I installed the Stock rooted T Mobile rom by Scrosler posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459677
After flashing that rom from recovery, I used Scrosler Stock loki'd ATT boot img found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45755689&postcount=3
After booting, you have to setup an ATT APN. I used this one found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41717915&postcount=9
APN settings are found under System settings / tethering & networks / mobile networks / access point names / "menu soft key" new apn. Be sure to save when done.
After this you have a completely functioning T Mobile rom with theming for the home launcher on your ATT D800
Of course build prop will need to be changed to ATT settings, but will work as is.
Thanks to Scrosler for all the need files and his time to do this!
Edit, you can load the build prop from clean Rom 1.1 to get it back to ATT.

i might try this out myself. don't know what it does for the bands, but i unlocked my at&t G2 when i first got it and i've been able to get T-Mobile 4G and 4G LTE service with my T-Mobile SIM. coverage and speeds are not as good as at&t in a few spots.
@op - what other benefits (if any) have you seen with the T-Mobile ROM? thanks.
The roms are basically the same, however the T-Mobile Rom has launcher theming built in. Hopefully in the future this will help developers build for more than one carrier.

looks like you forgot step 2 in the original post (flash the att loki'd boot image). reboot to recovery using the hard keys (see this post for steps, copy the att loki'd boot image to your phone and flash with TWRP and you'll be good to go. or, you can restore your backup from TWRP (assuming you made a backup).
thank you so much I am back in to recovery and flashing my nandroid backup. I am going to give this another try but want to just clarify that I am doing it correctly. If I understand properly I need to flash the T Mobile firmware. where I need the clarification is do I just simply put the boot image as the second file to flash so that they flash one after another, instead of what I tried the first time which was to flash the firmware first then go back into recovery and then flash the boot image which is what screwed me up first time. Does this sound like I have it under control this time
Why did you do this? The only plus so far I see is you got rid of the att on the left top corner?

yes, that's what i did. flashed the ROM and the boot image one after the other.
good news!! I have the ROM up and running the only thing left to do is the new APN setting for AT&T but the file you indicate to use is the same exact file for step 2 am I missing something? Also if that is the right file do I just simply flash it like normal, or is there a different method to apply it? thanks again for all of your help sorry to be a pain in the butt

IM porting. This is not a porting. What I am doing is a but more complex than flashing another ROM and changing the boot image.

Is there anything you can change specifically to get themes working on the at&t variant without flashing a whole new rom?

Nope, I can post a launcher later, I have them working fine on my AT&T G2 running CR 1.1
Also, just an FYI, you can use the Korean version and the Verizon version as well...
But on the Verizon version the kernel is built to read the sensors different and you will need to swap the kernel modules because of this.
Also, you can swap the APN file too before you flash and yo wont have to worry about APN's.
Just sayin....
Oh and one other thing...
I accidentally deleted the boot.img so maybe OP can upload it please?
Otherwise I will make a new version when I get home.
Can i flash any tmobile ROM? like this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682608
I recently flashed a MIUI ROM from our verizon thread and noticed it worked decently with either a tmobile sim or our own Verizon LTE.
I also recently flashed this T-mobile ROM :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292054
which was posted on the T-mobile thread but had our verizon kernal in the list of downloads, with success.
So my question is this: can i flash any Tmobile ROM as long as it doesn't include a kernal and radio and of course access the network settings to change it to LTE/CDMA.???

Probably not. Most ROMs are tightly integrated with their kernel; if you flash just the ROM and not the kernel, lots of things will likely not work well.
I think you should make a little list of the ones you have success with though... [emoji1]

You sure can. As log as you are on the MDK bootloader. Many of us have done it. Check this thread for some info

Thanks! This proves we can use i9505 (generic S4) roms, but doesn't guarantee we can use Tmobile. But that may not matter. This means we can use the repository of I9505 ROMS which opens the door to a boatload of ROMS!!! WHOOOHOOO.

Yeah, if you're one of the lucky few with the MDK bootloader or a developer edition phone.
But you still probably need to flash the entire ROM, including the kernel that supports it, assuming you're one of the lucky ones.

I'm assuming most of us have the MDK bootloader. I'm running TW 4.4.2 now (goldeneye ROM). Works flawless. All the mods for i9505 work great too. We have some awesome themes out there in the i9505 themes thread. Verizon S4 keeps getting better and better.
I havent been on xda in a while but i have done my searches before i ask this question. Can i flash sprints ls990 recoveries, roms and mods to a us990 us cellular device?
Ah i dont think so just because of modems,radios,software ect.. I could be wrong but im pretty sure not.

recoveries no, roms maybe, mods probably.
I am willing buy a US990 and flash the sprint GSM rom. I should only need to modify the boot.img right?
No, you would have to modify a lot more. Although the boot.img is a good start you are also going to have to modify the kernel and and maybe wrong but some lib files. I have no idea how close the ls990 is to the us990 hardware and software wise. Here is a whole site dedicated to develoment for your device, now I have no idea if these roms are any good but here is the link: http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/forum/429-lg-g3-development/

In my attempt to unlock US990 for GSM I did folowing so far:
1. I flashed Cloudy 1.3 while selecting the model as LS990.
a. Phone got stuck in boot loop.
b. Lost access to TWRP.
c. Download mode was still accessible, device info showed as LS990 but SWV was still US990.
d. When tried restoring to stock LS990 ZV4, flash tool failed and gave error that device model is different.
2. Restored a LS990 Nandroid Backup.
Results were same as flashing Cloudy 1.3
3. Installed the newly available CM12.1 Unofficial(Thanks a ton to @Seoyne) :
a. Modified telephony on the build.
b. No GSM access yet.

you can flash kernels. but you have to decompile them and use a new dt img. the one specifically compiled for the us990. i found that out when trying to use a dt img from a ls990 kernel.
Look at the int forum they have a couple of ROMs for your phone

This link is not working. Can you tell what exactly you were trying to say. TIA
If you have the right dll and the KitKat Sprint tot, you can flash stock Sprint on the us990 you just won't have service on stock roms...you would more than likely have to use cm or aosp based roms
Google how tobflash as990 to ls990...that what I did and I even have an ntelos sim card in this phone and all works but lte

OK this is very very simple. No need to unlock sim. Download a rom from whatever service provider ie... att tmobile. The only thing you need is for it to have an aroma installer format your memory put your new Sim card in flash then go and download new recovery for the phone ie.. 900t as your recovery is 900p after then find a stock rom flash new recovery then your new stock rom and poof profit 4g. New phone. Fckn magic and I am a novice who messed with everything everyone else said with no luck best was hspa. But it would always jump towers roam no signal blah blah. Now I feel like I have a new tmobile phone 28mbs download .is the lowest I have pulled.

Have you tried it. Then dont post on my thread what am I spamming a work around that will help ppl. Your sad my friend
so, where is your work, i have note 3 sprint and i want activate 4g in europe
OK so first off...Wow try to help ppl out. You guys r a bunch off asshats, I believe I explained in the first post how to do it. And the last guy that made a post did I say Europe international unluck. My obvious answer would be just follow the one of the other post because unless your staying their I don't even know what carriers they have. But to domestically turn your sprint phone into lets say att or tmobile ir verizon. All notes have same hardware inside the only different is the locked bands you can't use. So I am going to try and make this simple as I can.
1... ROOT
2.... INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY
3.... DOWNLOAD A ROM WITH AN AROMA INSTALL AS THIS WILL LET IT BYPASS THE CHECK FOR THE CORRECT PHONE BECAUSE AS OF THIS POINT YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY IS SUPPOSE TO ONLY FLASH 900P ROMS.. THE AROMA BYPASSES THIS.
4........INSTALL THE ATT...TMOBILE... ROM IT PROBABLY WON'T BE STOCK BUT ONE
5...... REBOOT.
6.....Now YOUR PHONE Is T-mobile or att.
Nit finished though
7..... Download a CUSTOM recovery for the company you switched. to I.e....twrp 2.8.7. 900t
8..... Now you can stop or what I did just to make sure things went smooth when completing the switch I installed a stock rom called the company bam
NO SIM CARD ERRORS AND FULL 4G
AS YOU ARE USING THEIR SETUP UNBLOCKED THEIR BANDS THE ONLY WAY TO TELL THIS WAS NOT THAT COMPANY PHONE IS THE IMEI STARTING wITH 99 and the frame under the battery Haz it mark.
FLASH WHATEVER ROM YOU LIKE AFTER THAT .
PLEASE STOP ACTING AS THOUGH I DID SOMETHING WRONG TRY, RECORD IT I JOHN BEIL WILL BUY YOU A NEW PHONE IF IT DOESN'T WORK. BUT WHEN YOU FIND THAT I FOUND THE EASY WORKAROUND SECRET DONATE THANK AND SHARE TOY STORY PLEASE & THANK YOU

Ok, re read again your instructions.
Flashed the stockish lollipop T-Mobile rom.
I am all ready Sim unlocked, so can't address the sim unlock.
It seems the T-Mobile rom shows the 4G icon when connected as UMTS.
Speed test shows the same 2.5 megs. I get all ready, on any other Rom.
My Verizon phone with the same Sim gets 4 times the speed on LTE.
Thanks for working on this!

First off, thank you for this thread! I have two questions. What about getting it to work with Straight Talk? Also, what 5.0 ROM did you use that had the Aroma installer.
Just pick onone you like they will tell you if he use aroma on the first page. And yes it will work for straight talk

Yeah so I've been flashing ROMS for quite some time. In fact I use multiboot on my Nexus 6 but anyway. I have 2 Note 3s and just bricked one of them when I flashed the wrong recovery in Flashify. I am going to try and restore it with ODIN and I hope it works. I flashed Darklord's Note 5 port which was absolutely stunning till I killed the phone with the wrong TWRP recovery. The phone had the SIM not valid in another language so I'm guessing flashing the right recovery would have made it work for T-mobile. Anyway, this will be my first brick after all of these years. My other Note is booting now and I hope the T-mobile and Straight Talk sims work. If per chance it does, I can then flash the Darklords ROM and still have service? I ask because you said you can go ahead and flash any ROM you like. Edit: I am having a hard time getting this to work. Is there any way you could just tell me what particular ROM you used because now I tried the Kitkat ROM and it will not boot. Please help. Thanks!
Ok follow the directions next time I don't know if you can Odin because of adb, but Samsung has an app, don't use flashify for this use twrp don't download a T-Mobile recovery till after u flash the aroma ROM then flash T-Mobile recovery then any T-Mobile rom

I completely understand that but can you please link me to the ROM you used or any Lollipop ROM that works? I ask because I cannot find ONE with Aroma installer for T-mobile that is 5.0. The kit kat ROM I just installed is stuck on the Samsung boot animation and won't boot.
