Thinking of getting G3 - Verizon LG G3

Once I get it rooted and got recovery installed I should be able to use AOSP roms right? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you have to revert out to 10b via kdz method, root and install twrp, then you can install an aosp Rom
That being said, the 2/1 build of cm12 is one of the most stable right now from my experience. Smooth as butter. You can pm me if you need any advice

Perfect. I'm very excited to have a device that can run AOSP roms once again. I might try a few of the other roms along with CM12 to see which one I like.
I'm also assuming this method will let me use custom kernels too right?

cm10-CWM or TWRP ?

As we move forward with cm10, Is it better to use TWRP or CWM ? Any advantages to either ? Can one go back and forth ?

I've been bouncing back and forth (CWM 6.x, TWRP 2.1.4 and 2.2.2). Not sure if that's recommended or not, but its been working for me. YMMV though.

TWRP has been bullet-proof for me since I installed it. No problems flashing CM7, CM9, or CM10 ROMs, nor other ROMs based on those.
I'm am currently using TWRP to flash Linaro CM10 SGT7 Port For Nook Tablet, but when it reboots i get kicked back to TWRP even tho it was successful
Any ideas? I have had no issues with CWM
CWM it not good for flashing CM10...Surely
The cm9 5.1 cwm can flash all roms those you listen can't flash cm7 roms

Where did you get CWM 6.x? I thought 5.5.x was the latest. Please link if you have it available.
As far as the OP, I have been flashing everything across the board for my NT with CWM 5.5, it has worked fine for all three CM builds.

TWRP 2.1.4 can flash CM7 ROMs without any problems. I haven't updated to TWRP 2.2, yet...

[Q] I'm still on 4.2.2 which came on the phone the day it was released...

Stock touchwiz and all, didn't flash any roms but I am rooted with unlocked bootloader. Any mod I've ever wanted, I was able to do through xposed or just flash some small file. My questions is, are there any benefits to changing roms? If so, what TW rom would you guys suggest?
ThaCh0de's CockNRom v9.2.3.1 with XBrickMyPhoneX kernel seems to do the trick for me

Woohoo! Don't loose that MDK bootloader! You're one of the lucky/smart ones that didn't take an OTA update.

Install or update TWRP with Goomanager if you're on an old recovery. Just click install openrecoveryscript, that easy.
Stock TW KitKat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721118
There are lots of improvements in JB and KK, as well as a couple fixable "issues" (e.g. sd card).
You can sell it to me and then I will give you my phone, that would be the best thing for the world.
Definitely gonna keep my MDK bootloader. The funny thing that's making me want to change is the App to SD card feature in the updates.
I'll make the switch from CWM to TWRP and give stock TW KK a shot. Are there any GS5 ROMs for us? I feel so out of it lol.
I've been flashing since the OG Droid and had close to 10 rooted phones but after getting my GS4 and having everything working perfect(including the mods, I.e. WiFi Ap), I just left it

I'd use Flashify from the Play Store to update to a new recovery. Using Goo or ROM Manager can lead to possibly having to Odin back to stock and start fresh... Couldn't tell you exactly why but it's happened to a few of us including me.
Also... Go for a ROM like C ROM, Mahdi, or Liquid Smooth... Ditch TW

I too have MDK so.... :highfive:! I am running Hyperdrive RLS 15 and it runs flawless. Loads of extra features if you like that sort of stuff. I used the Ktoonz Kernel with it so it comes with the KTweaker App for complete control over the kernel. Loads of battery life. Its 4.3 but if you want 4.4 then wait about a week or so and Sbreen94 will have it released (atleast that is his current time frame).

[Q] LG G2 VS980 26A Bootloop installing Cyanogenmod Nightly

I have an Lg G2 VS980 running ota 26A and I am trying to install the cyanogenmod 11 nightly. The only problem Is it keep bootlooping. I wipe the phone correctly and everything then install the zip. CWM (I have the latest version of Clockworkmod Touch) says the install was successful. I have tried everything to get this rom installed. I have done multiple wipes I have downloaded the latest nighties I've even tried installing a custom kernel alongside the rom, all the same result the phone would flash the LG logo on the screen turn off vibrate and repeat. Believe me when I say this I have tried everything to think of but still I won't boot to Cyanogenmod. I have rooted correctly using stumproot(It does work on the G2) and flashed CWM touch with flashify. I've followed the steps to flash perfectly still bootloop.
I need help with this I am tired of LG optimus ui and lg software and I really want to have Cyanogenmod on this phone. What Do I need to do to successfully flash this rom and use cm because at this point I have nothing.
So If anyone can help that would be GREATLY appreciated Ive lost count of times ive been bootlooped, and I really want cyanogenmod installed. If not CM then something like PA
Thanks again

Though I may have done something wrong but I don't know.

I see. Was trying to find a common element, but there goes that theory.
There appears to be a number of people having the same problem with VS98024a and VS98026a. No solution yet so far. At least I haven't found one yet.
To clarify you are running CWM not TWRP?
P.S.:
I might have found our problem. Maybe?
The CM 11 M7 snapshot is based on Android 4.4.2.
I have not seen M7 version for vs980...... Let me know if you find one.

I have the solution..... What the problem is is the newer bootstacks don't have an exploit... The Loki is killed.... So what you are going to want to do is downgrade your bootstack...12b is one that will run some of the older ROMs but 24a is what most are using to build off of.... if you need more direction then this let me know

[Q] TWRP for verizon G3

Good afternoon
I am on verizon and I just flashed back to KK from LP I am on 12B. I just Rooted with the LG one click root. I also downloaded Flashify.
I want to get TWRP for the G3, Where do I go to Get TWRP for verizon? There is the TWRP Manager app I downloaded but Uninstalled because it wanted fix a partition so it can write to the SD card. I said no then uninstalled it.
Should I redownload the App and let it fix or do something different? It has been awhile since I rooted and ROM'd want to get back into it.
the last time I rooted and Rom'd was in 2009 when I had my thunderbolt
thanks again for the information

You are fine with letting it do the fix. Be sure to get the vs985 version of twrp

Latest TWRP is here (v2.8.6.1). Just flash the file in recovery.
Try both ROMs and a couple others, too! I suggest starting with a stock-based ROM, getting a feel for the difference (smaller delta), then moving to an AOSP/CM-based ROM.

Did you flash the gapps with the rom.? I'm guessing that is a lollipop rom so you need the lollipop gapps to go with. There should be a link for the gapps in the same thread as you got the rom.

Make sure that you wiped properly (including System and Data partitions, as well as the caches) in TWRP.
After that, make sure that you installed the Gapps and the correct version of them for the ROM. I like these packages.
Thank you all for the info, I wiped and flashed the rom with the right gapps.

Need to switch to jelly bean

Hey guys! I'm using a Galaxy Note with a Bell board (was originally AT&T but that bricked because at the time I thought flashing an N7000 ROM would work, D'oh!) and I want to upgrade to a Jelly Bean Rom. I'm using Blackstar XI, a 4.0.4 ROM, and I'm looking for a lightweight JB rom. It can lack stylus/pen support, I found myself not using that feature as much as I thought I would.
Would I run into any issues using a QuincyATT Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 ROM, considering it's a Bell note board? Would I need to unlock my SIM first? And I recall there being a trick with Notepad++ I needed to do in order to make it work, even on my AT&T board.
I just have an issue with heavy RAM usage at boot and I can't even run some apps, since I know touchwiz is stupid.
Anyone willing to help me get it running on my note? Any help would be appreciated!

If you like blackstar, I would just flash Blackstar Blackjelly after doing a backup. It's what I've been running as my go-to on my Telus note. The other jb's are great too, but cm comes with the odd small bug like echo on speaker phone. Most of the customizations make them worth trying though.

Sweet. I could give that a try if the Cyanogenmod ROM doesn't work. Is there anything I need to do in preparation, since this is technically a Bell note? Or can I just go ahead and flash the ROM without any changes to the ZIP?

I'm assuming you have an unlocked bootloader already since you are running cm. Just be sure to have latest cm recovery or gimmeitorilltell's twrp (although other versions work with Jellybean, if you try kitkat or lollipop you'll have problems). Make sure you are flashing a quincyatt rom.
I have been using SGH-I717ATT-UCMD3-Modem with great success for a radio. Your mileage may vary.
If you get no signal, before blaming the rom, first check your mobile networks access point names and settings to be sure they match your carrier. (A good idea is to take a couple screenshots of your settings now before you flash any new roms as there are quite a few numbers involved)

Good news! I tried the CM10.1.3 ROM and it worked well minus two small gripes:
1. Occasional freeze/hang on lock screen, causing it to reboot
2. Random artifacting/crashes during video playback/browsing through gallery
I'm gonna say this is the best performing ROM I've tried so far, but I'm going to give BlackJelly a try! I'll keep you posted. Just figured I'd give Cyanogenmod a proper shot now that I know how to install ROMs!

Time for BlackJelly! Downloading now.
I also may need some help getting the SIM to work once this ROM is on. So that way, I can use this stock-rom based OS for actual phone things instead of it just being a tiny tablet! Yay!
Can you point me in the direction of the latest TWRP recovery that I can flash through Odin?
