So with the KK update LG changed the way the G2 is locked down. Been messing around with some stuff and just was able to get around the standard recovery and was able to boot into the more normal Android recovery. I think from here I can build a custom recovery that may work...
Who knows if it will work and not sure when I will be done with it so don't ask for ETA...
So, when will we have this? Jk...thank u for your hard work. Much appreciated.

I first noticed it when I was making flashable KK update zip when I screwed something up. Was surprised too see a recovery like that. This is my new recovery now and I am able to boot with it and bypass the regular LG recovery setup and can also boot into this recovery.

You have the G2 too? Do you remember me from the S4 Active days? Anyways what all can be done with this recovery? I would think they would have a lot of checks and stuff to reduce it.

So basically you do what every member on this forum only wishes they could do . G2 is SWEET though, I dont see myself getting another samsung for a while. I was hoping for the S5 but that let me down.
Anyways back to topic, I haven't made the jump to KK yet (mainly because I'm working 11 days in a row) but if they can work out a recovery for it I will be very happy
Stock recoveries will be allowed through the 4.4.2 bootloader check. Custom recoveries are not allowed because they pass through the aboot and if they are not 100% stock you are dropped into fastboot. Sorry man, this idea won't work.

He's already made a flashable KK with root access for D802 & D800.
I was also able to get into that recovery while messing with something. It was one time though. In read in Gibhub of Loki that LG has patched for Loki exploit but he used the previous aboot but that was just for an OTA. https://github.com/djrbliss/loki/issues/44
This a great News Im looking for your custom recavary

I am not an Android Dev but how much work would it be to just create a g2 framework package that would overlay on a source aosp rom? Lg ui isn't some mystical New rom is just an overlay. Very involved but I see other people exporting the Sony ui to other roms. It might be easier than trying to find an exploit that might not exist

How are you guys doing this are you using kitchen or android sdk. I am a noob when it comes to this stuff, but I have done a little research. Most of the guides I come across are using custom Roms for the example.

Thank you!!!!!!! This is at least great news after my epic fail with trying to unlock the bootloader of my P769. I can't wait for the themes! Can I recommend Holo? Pleeeeeease....lmao.
Everything runs great except that Goggle Keyboard kept force closing. I fixed it by using ES File Explorer to reinstall it but it happened again when I rebooted. I wound up removing it. Great job, though.

Well guys, I'm having some scary thoughts about upgrading to a 5s from my s4. I really don't want to, but I am confused about the bootloader. I've searched the forums high and low for the information I've been trying to look for. Honestly, I was just wondering if the bootloader will eventually get unlocked.
Is it possible? Have the devs given up? Safestrap is amazing by the way. Using it right now with hyperdrive. I just haven't seen any chatter about it. I am no way complaining I am just lacking the information. I am having internal memory issues.
Some please ease our minds (and mine for that matter) about this situation. Please, steer me away from the 5s. I am hardcore android. Is the s4 worth keeping? Is anyone else going to (it have) replace the s4?

Kexec is like a hijack of the kernel. It pretty much loads a custom kernel on top of the stock one.

The main benefit of getting kexec support would be that people could flash aosp roms. As im sure you already know currently there is only support for touchwiz based roms on ss.

Yes. AOSP is a must. It would really help people with internal memory such as myself. Do you know if the boot loader itself is being worked on? Or are devs just exploiting it rather than fully unlocking it.

What do you mean by "whatever" you want? Install a ROM? Safestrap does that for you. Install a kernel? Hash is working on kexec.
I'm convinced most of the people complaining about the bootloader have no idea what they are talking about. You do realize that SS and kexec will be virtually grant you the same things an "unlocked" bootloader does.
Loki is another exploit on MDK devices that gives you the same capabilities, many people even think that the MDK has an unlocked bootloader, lmao.
Again I ask, what are you hoping to do with an unlocked bootloader that SS and kexec cannot do?

I'm really hoping there's more info soon, I got mine for free too. The weird thing is that even the people at Verizon didn't have a lot of info on their own device. Anyone know if it has NFC? There are many sources both ways.
Got mine for free as well, but seems very slow.. I know it only has 1gb Ram but I figured with a quad core it could at least run streampix and Netflix without constant stuttering.. Hoping for some root methods and custom rooms to get some better performance out of it soon! Please and thank you!

I've been away a while. If I'm understanding correctly I can one click route my MK2 and install Samsung based ROMs without a custom recovery using mobile Odin. Can anyone please confirm it or correct me? If I'm right can you give me ideas what to look for in a ROM that will work with this method. Thanks and sorry if this has been asked. I did search but there wasn't much to look at in terms of direct solutions.

Personally, I've never heard of what you're describing. The only way I know of with MK2 is to root using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758.
After that, your only option for roms is Safestrap. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2441441. You will only be able to install TouchWiz 4.3 based roms. Make sure they're compatible with Safestrap before you install.
My advice would be to do a lot of research. This is a good place to start. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606501.
Good luck
Edit: Just noticed your profile says your using AT&T. This is the Verizon forum.

This is the Verizon forum, not at&t. However I believe mobile odin is only useful for restoring the phone to a factory state without a computer, not flashing roms, yet you must be rooted. I could be wrong though.

Well as far as I know Odin is just for flashing the firmwares and a custom recovery is for flashing ROMs. Maybe there is an exception, but I don't think so

Maybe just clarifying what someone thinks a ROM is, guess you could think firmware is a ROM if you're new to this kind of stuff.

Generally yes for recoveries and stock firmwares however it does need to be in a tarball file which would take some time I imagine trying to recall what phone it was but this was a few years ago a lot has changed since the n

Ok looking like I misunderstood then. Thanks for the clarification. I don't think I trust the idea of the safestrap. I know it's safer, but I have been flashing ROMs for years and the recovery method makes me warm and tingly. I don't think they'll ever crack into the ability to flash the way we're all used to. For every genius we have that's capable of figuring it out, Samsung has 10 that can stop it. I pray they get it, but my hopes are fading.

safestrap has been around for years for other phones and recently hashcode ported to the S4 last fall. I have used it since that time with zero issues and have been running several ROMs at a time to evaluate, with again no issues with safestrap. Not sure why you wouldn't "trust it".....as it gives all us non-MDK owners ability to run something else than just stock.

Exactly, I've been hammering away on Safestrap since my RAZR and it's really safe just like the name implies. Granted I could flash AOSP on the razr, but my guess is at some point kexec will come around for the S4 as well. Too many really smart people working on that project for it to fail in my opinion.
Anyways.... For now Safestrap is awesome, and happy to have it.
