Is it possible to copy a working updater script, into my own non flashing rom? I made my own rogers stock rom using dsxidas kitchen tool, just won't flash, can I copy paste a working one into the rom?

Sure, you can copy /paste all you want. No promises anything will work. The updater-script uses "edify" scripting language is fairly simple. There are quite a few good guides available. I usually find them by typing edify guides into google.
The syntax is fairly straight forward. The best way to trouble shoot is when the recovery throws an error, check out the recovery log file as it will generally provide details as to which line of code had the error and what type of error.
The recovery log file is usually stored at /tmp/recovery.log and /cache/recovery.log.
In my opinion every ROM developer should become familar with this simple scripting langauge and have the ability to troubleshoot the issues with the recovery through the log file.
If you have specific questions feel free to reserach and post them up with your research. Plenty of ppl can help clarify or suggestion approaches.
Hope that helps!
I just purchased a SCH-i545l from Bluegrass Cellular here in Kentucky. Bluegrass is a regional company that works off of their own LTE towers as well as Verizon's Nationwide towers. I love this phone, however, I am lost with it when it comes to rooting it or any types of software modifications because of its small supply and demand. Can anyone help?

What the build number in settings->about phone? If it's the same or similar to Verizon I'm sure the same rooting method would work for you.

Same with me as well. I've asked around, seems like its not a very common phone (since being an off brand version) to be rooting at this moment.

I am hoping this is just too new at the moment. I wish I knew someone in service who could leak me the stock files. Then I could flash some vzw kernels and still be able to restore stock if it didn't work.

It's a very new variant of the phone, it was wi-fi verified at the end of July and it only popped up earlier this month...
Sadly it looks like the phone has a different base version (MG6) and hopefully something similar is released when 4.3 arrives in October.
Waiting game at this point....

You can download the source code for this phone from the samsung open source site. Would be a great place to start.
Click here to get to main page, then look for SCH-I545L NA
is it possible to extract the kernel from the open source zip file? if so can i be told how to or can someone download the SCH-I545L source and extract kernel then post it for us?
would appreciate very much if someone downloaded the source and compiled a kernel for myself and others looking for it. need the stock kernel to root our devices, i personally dont have a linux-based computer or the ability to have one, so any help would be appreciated

Kernel and Platform are already separated inside the file I posted the link too. It also includes read me files for each on how to compile them. I would download it and play around with it for a bit.
I have access to Linux. I am busy lately but I will download this a play with it when i get a chance. I have another idea and I'm wondering if there are any obvious flaws so here it is. Before compiling the system partition, add 'su' to '/bin'. Then to have root the only thing we need to do is Odin/ Heimdall the modified system partition. Although I have compiled software for Linux I have never compiled Android before so does anyone see a fatal flaw with that plan?
well i tried but couldnt figure it out. im not really dev-savvy. so if anyone wants to download the sch-i545L source to compile a kernel and possibly even inject root or make it easier to root (if possible?..) i would donate to the cause. im sure us with the 545L variants would appreciate a helping hand
I've downloaded the source from samsung and now I'm downloading the 4.2.2 base. Wish me luck lol. I've never built android before but it doesn't look too much different from any other source code so far.

Good Luck! There seem to be quite a few of us out there with this device that would really appreciate root/rom support!
If you get a rooted rom or a kernel for us please share! I'm sure if we had a kernel we could flash roms then kernel, or flash vzw s4 kernel for root methods and then flash back. Kernel would be the optimal provision

Kernel Crossing
I have compiled a kernel using the Samsung source and the running kernel configuration from my i545L. I have not tested it but I have no reason to believe that it is any different than the kernel running on my phone. I am not sure when I will get around to testing it but if anyone tries it please post back here.
I have not located a pit file yet.
Link to stock compiled kernel - Odin format:
http://d-h.st/tcl
I don't know how to disable root block so that the motochopper root method will work again but that is something I will be looking into.
And finally the necessary un-pleasantries... I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone and I don't provide any warranty with this kernel.
I will test it later

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'll add more stuff as needed, let me know if you need anything else and I'll post it here!

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:

just realized i posted this in the original android development thread, oops. mods please feel free to move to appropriate thread.
made a small change in the updater script to wipe cache.
after realizing that all apks and jars on 4.4+ have classes.dex files, even the odexed ones, i edited the updater-script to remove dalvik-cache entries for the vzw odexed files. this *should* be the final release of this mod afaict, at least for this build version.
Flashing now to give this a whirl. thanks
Just the fix I was looking for .... Beautiful

here's a small flashable zip i made that removes the vzw bloat and branding, and unlocks tethering (thanks dymmeh!).
it also replaces the moto setup process with the aosp one, which is only noticeable if doing a factory reset after installing; a side effect of hiding the setup launcher icon.

Can't say enough about how nice this all aspects of this.zip work. I've been running it over a day now and have absolutely no issues! It's so nice to have a tool that removes the VZW BS and enables native tethering all in one package. I hope future development on this package might include a "Return to stock .zip". with 4.4.2 ota in the near future.
Assuming this is only for the DE?

Perfect I assume the

The "undo" .zip will have you back to stock in a flash ... If need be

data/dalvik-cache/.dex , /data/data/com., /system/app/.odex and /system/priv-app/.odex "files" would be rebuilt on the first boot after flashing the xt1060-140.45.5-vzw-removal-undo-s.zip ?
The "undo" .zip will have you back to stock in a flash ... If need be

dalvik-cache entries will be created on first boot, not the odex files; but they are included in the undo zip.
interestingly, odex files are not needed on 4.4+ as each apk and jar has a classes.dex file. you can safely delete all odex files, though there isn't really anything to gain by doing so unless you want to modify the smali code. also, deleting odex files will probably break ART capability.

Thanks for explaining that:good: The undo.zip will be a quick fix to revert back to stock in the event another user or I might take the upcoming OTA but odds are I'll wait for the .sbf to be released
This is great. I mean, why does the Dev Edition even ship with Verizon crapps.

Also the reason why Verizon customers can't have the Nexus 5. I mean I love my Moto, but originally I was going to buy a Nexus 5 and i read about how they screwed Google over with the Galaxy Nexus (they said they wouldnt, then they did load verizon crapware). If I could get out of my contract right now, I would

I understand and agree with you completely, if not for the awesome unlimited plan i have our family on and Verizon's perfect coverage in my area, i would consider dumping them also

So the Verizon Developer Edition is shipped with the Verizon bloat etc too? That's interesting, since you think that it would be similar to a Google Play edition phone, coming from Moto and all. Eh. Can't wait for my Moto X VZW Dev Edition (even tho im in Aus )

there's no reason this shouldn't work on stock rooted device.
*edit"
this should work fine installing on a stock 140.45.5 safestrap rom, if there are any available. afaik hashcode never made the primary partition flashable in safestrap, not sure though as i have an unlocked device and haven't really messed around with it.

Here's a link to the only Safestrap friendly stock VZ ROM I could find. It works perfectly on the stock slot (primary partition).

[ROM][Safestrap][XT1060] Stock Rooted Vzw 140.45.5 KitKat
Also, the dev asked that we only link to the thread, not the ROM itself.
Anyway, glad to see this MOD. It's exactly what I was looking for and likely what others wanted after the Eclipse ROM drama from a couple days ago... Stock and Xposed Framework friendly.

Has anyone had any luck rooting an ls990 from sprint. I'm very tried gui (3.1) and text script. Both fail on final step on multiple computers.
Anything to do with latest boot protection Ota? I would love to root this phone. Don't even need twrp or custom rom. Just want to freeze apps.
Thanks
