This is just a thread for a YouTube video i made last week on how to install kitkat on the G2. I wasn't going to post it here, but why not. May aswell help out some of the people who are installing a ROM for the first time, so they don't clog up the dev threads. :laugh:

Noob-proof is pretty ambitious. There's nothing created by man that can't be broken by man...

You have a point, there are some people who should read OP's before posting in threads.
--
This should be labeled, "HOW TO INSTALL CUSTOM ROMS ON YOUR G2". You should also mention the various models such as "LS980 = Sprint", "VS980 = Verizon", "802 = International", etc.
This is not official KitKat either but just a custom rom. Also, why is the status bar icons in the video blue vs KK White?
This video is a general blanket statement because I KNOW the VS980 has various Recoveries based off what version your stock rom is on. The latest update 12B updated the boot.img and broke the loki hack. So there are pre-11A and post-12B recoveries. There are also CWM and TWRP which some roms require. Also pushing 12B recoverying and running the loki script will yeild different results as flashing it through Flashify and FreeGee.
This video is hardly noobproof but more of a guide. You should state which phone variant you are doing in the OP a list of links like you do in the youtube description.
FYI, your method would bootloop a Verizon G2 and require you to download stock images and flash via LG's Flasher tool (which is a pain).

go look up zedomax on youtube hes gotta lotta root videos for SGS2 and roms too, he has a blog site as well
Max posts alot of root stuff for SGS2 i9100, Tmobile, sprint, etc.. he uses lotta tutorial videos seems to help out alot of my friends and myself too
---------- Post added at 07:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 AM ----------
www.galaxys2root.com
Btw this is the forum link, he has all the files u need as well
for SGS2 theres a root method using zerg rush which is relatively safe compared to odin.. no soft brick risks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I know with other devices you use software to take advantage of an exploit to root and this process can be used on our SGS2 also but the Simplest method in my opinion is to flash (use Odin to install software from pc to phone) a rooted kernel which when done your good to go. Rooted and everything required installed and setup for you. 2 minutes.
Cfroot kernels are virtually stock kernels that have been rooted.
Once you are rooted your options are endless.
Enjoy.

Not without modification. I have both and most image/files in the n2 themes need renamed and modified in order to work on the n3. Some mods may work but it just depends. Pull a n3 theme apart and compare it to a n2 theme to see what ya need to change. Good luck man.
I just flashed the unofficial cm 13 (TITAN) rom made by Luk1337 and the now on tap feature doesn't seem to work ....when I click on TURN ON it says "unfortunately Google has stopped" ....I have attached the screenshot below ...THANKS

Hello mate, follow this link below,I made a full guide about how to make now on tap work on any marshmallow if this function was broken, this will work on any CM/AOSP/TW version of Android M (the error you're getting won't matter with this method and most probably the only method)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=63994750
Install required apps!
Obviously only do steps that correspond you!
