Hi guys,
actually i have the omnirom (4.4.2) installed on my g2 and i want to flash an official rooted Kitkat Rom with its LG Software features.
How do i have to proceed?
Which files do i need?
If i flash the unrooted Rom by the KDZ file, can i manually root afterwards?
I'm not sure if the root is more difficult with the official KitKat Rom than on custom roms.
Do i have to fully wipe? I am on 4.4.2...
Can someone help please? What about the recovery (TWRP), will i lose it on this way?
Thanks in advance.
Ok so two things, one which model is your phone and two questions don't go in general

Ah sorry...
So can a Mod please move the thread to "G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting"?
Model is D802 (international) should be the vodafone edition
Well currently there is one way of flashing it through recovery in the d802 thread but it has a lot of issues other than that there still is not an official way to do so

Hmm okay i thought now there is a better way...
Can i manually root my device if i flash the official kdz file?
If you are flashing the .kdz with the flash tool, you NEED to do a full wipe or it will fail flashing.

As new as you sound I would not recommend the nexus 4 conversion.
You can flash back to stock with lgpnst but setting that up is sometimes a pain so you might just want to flash a stock 4.04 based custom ROM . You can find those under development.
Edit there is a stock att flash able ROM...its already rooted though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067871

Lol NO gtfo. They have not converted at all. The nexus 4 came with 4.2. 4.1.2<4.2 ....Therefore they are referring to the 4.1.2 jellybean port from an optimus g variation Don't go discrediting my post...

Well you our limited to the jellybean port until cm 10.1 drops for our optimus g....unless you happen to convert. In that case you have access to nexus 4 ROMs. Its not difficult to convert. If you are comfortable with you computer and can setup lgpnst, adb, and fast boot , then I would go for it. But from what I've heard in some of the threads, a lg optimus g no conversion required cm 10.1 ROM is being worked on and will drop eventually so you may just want to hold out.

You might want to make sure you're running the latest version of CWR if you're trying to flash a kitkat based room.

Hi guys!
I am new to rooting and all these things. I got my one max where it has already been rooted. Then i stupidly flashed a sense 6 rom and was happy the flashing was successful.
but the rom had lots of bugs. So i sent it to a phone repair shop to unroot it. Then the guy at the shop said that and only then did i realize that the imei is missing.
he cant unroot it without an IMEI.
so what do i do?i was so happy to get this phone but this comes along.
how do i regain my IMEI?
Thanks for the help guys
What recovery are you in? Try the latest twrp recovery
How do i check what recovery im in?im sorry i barely know these things, it was the previous owner that rooted the phone.

The best thing you need to do is flash an RUU. I am going to send you a PM.
Also my host is down and you would need to click on the mirror button anyways.
Hello, i am currently on 17.1.2.A.0.314, rooted with SuperSU with survival mode enabled. I get the update notification for 23.0.1.A.0.167, but when i download and try to install it, it says verification failed. I had recovery installed previously but i reflashed the stock firmware to remove it( i didn't wipe the data though), but still it says verification failed. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

your rom has to match stock to be able to update
Any changes need to be removed (root, mods, Other stuff alike )

My rom is purely stock with no modifications at all except the root. Some people updated over the air and that saved the root, that's what i was trying to do too.

im not sure how they did it then :/
root counts as a modified system because you have the SU binary and superuser manager
As I told in another thread, OTA update with root is pure luck if everything went good and remain root.

I was able to update rooted phone over the air many times before this one. Now i'll update only when there is some working root method for 4.4.4 (because i just don't want to flash a pre-rooted firmware as i don't want set up the whole phone from starting). Anyway, thanks for help ?.

No, i don't have recovery! Just the root, but still it's not able to verify the ota update. I am not going to update now, pretty much satisfied with the current firmware.

You need to carry out an OTA upgrade for that to work not all carriers support OTA. And those that do may carry out checks that fail, try flashing stock UK (unbranded) .314 I know people who've had success with that one.

You might have to settle for avoiding 4.4.4 then, as I don't know how much effort devs are putting I into finding a new exploit when flashing a pre-rooted rom is so trivial.
Ok i'll try that, but if it fails too then i won't update to 4.4.4.
Thanks for the help!

Has anyone that's rooted with H901 tried to update to MM? I didn't touch any of the stock apps or other pertinent system settings that might cause an update to fail. I do have TWRP so that might stop it. Sometimes updates just over write the TWRP with the stock recovery.
I'm thinking it probably would not go through but I was also thinking about trying it anyway for the heck of it. I don't want any boot loops if I can help it. I'm hoping for a flashable rooted stock rom someday.. Haha. Thoughts? Worth it?
