Are you asking because you're curious? Or learning?
If you're curious, I dd'd fresh from Flashtool.
If you trying to learn, pm me and I'll help out with what I can.
Would a dirty flash work?

Is there anyway to restore the LG Health app? I tried using TB to restore it from stock rom, it shows it as being restored/re-installed but I can't access it or use it? Wasnt sure if there were other necessary files needed that I'm missing. Thanks!

I'll make a flashable zip in the next few days for people that want to add Lg, Sprint stuff back.
It'll be in post #2 of the ROM thread. I'll also hopefully be posting flashable updates there too.
Any chance this rom will work with d851?

It's a Sprint ROM, so probably not. Yet.
We're all in the learning phase of flashing these G3's, so it'll take a little time to see if it'll work with most of the other G3s, which are all built for GSM.
Sprint is built for CDMA with an option for GSM. Hopefully that makes sense?
I guess you could try it, but you may end up using Flashtool, and hopefully don't end up with a brick.

Is this a newer version than the stock deodexed you had up? Im running that. Anything new in this or just the name?
Nevermind. I see now.

Okay, I'm curious. What happens if we do select internal in the TWRP wipe menu? I understand not to wipe external, and I moved my TB folder there and confirmed TWRP backups are there as well. Does an internal wipe also wipe the external via symlinks or something?

Internal wipes your internal SD. If you have nothing you need there it's fine.
Usually there's something there you forgot about. That's my case anyway.
Or if you have different roms you restore to, they may need files from there.

I wished I know for sure the answer. I would say it wouldn't. But if you have stock working already, then maybe it will.
My little warning just in case, If it doesn't work you may end up having to use Flashtool to fix it, or with a brick. I can't be held responsible.
But, if you do decide to try it and it does work, would you mind sharing that carrier folder? If that's all we need to get this thing GSM I'd be really happy.
Good morning!! That what i did for the gsm stock rom [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/unlock-sim-gsm-how-to-t2853594" and works i had low signal but i change the network mode with shortcut master to 1800 and everything ok!! By the way i ll make a full back up and try it maybe tomorrow and i ll post you back the results thanks for the answer
everything ok!!!! i installed the deoxed rom from engine95 and works greatt!!! and the most important i have gsm signal without do anything more !!!! the only problem i had was with the activation screen i did the trick with the buttons volume up and down power button and back without wifi asked me for pin code accept had signal but still activation screen reboot with wifi this time did again the trick and after 5 minutes told me activation failed and the menu pops up
the rom is faster and smoother the volume is louder and i see a difference in camera quality the photos are cleaner and sharper
the only strange thing is that i did wipe and advance wipe but i still have my photos and my music!!!( i have no sd card)
thanks a lottt!!!
Barren ROM
After installing Barren ROM, how can I find out if the original bloatware was reduced. I read in some threads that after installation of this ROM the original bloatware was reinstalled.

They made mistakes. I think they forgot to read the op and wipe/system. As far as I've heard, it's bloat free.
Believe me you'll know if the bloat gets installed.

So, the member neil_swann80 is in trouble because Flashtool seems to be rogue on him, so he asked for a Nandroid backup of a stock ROM. If I recall correctly he even offered monetary incentive: if this works, for him, I would rather have it go to XDA.
http://www.megaupload.com/?f=AIYYLQAP
That's the back-up: as usual in my uploads, it's a .7z file divided in parts (2 in this case): just extract the first one and the rest will ensue. I like to keep the download count so I would kindly ask not to mirror it.
It's a completely untouched CWM backup of the latest stock ROM for the R800i (it even has the clock set on 1980 or something). For him, and for everyone else: if you want to use this, extract the files and copy the resulting folder to the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup directory of your Xperia Play. Run CWM, go to Backup and Restore-Restore and select the folder (by default called NeilSwann).
I don't provide any kernel as you can use DoomLord's, which is compatible with stock ROMs and is orders of magnitude more functional than the stock one.
Would this work for cdma. I'm on the Verizon r800x..

I've restored the nandroid backup you uploaded, my phone hangs on the SE logo now. I got the swirly boot up animation which was new. I guess I screwed my phone more than I thought. I think I may have to accept defeat on this one now.

2nd ridder's request, as i need it too :3
I currently have the Verizon Note 2, now rooted, and wondering if I can use the Dirty AOKP 5.1 rom. I know it is under the nexus 7 developer site, but are roms able to be used on different phones?
Also, I used casual to root my device, then backed up my apps and systems on titanium backup (not pro), but do not know where to go from here to load the rom. Do i run casual again and once I get into that team wiz menu, flash the rom from there?
Sorry, been reading up on this site but some of the lingo i'm not familiar with quite yet.
Do i make a new folder on my sd card and move the rom to that folder first?
Thanks a bunch~
Unless the rom is meant for our phones. Flashing something like that can brick your phone. Now that you're rooted, install twrp and then you can start flashing custom roms. There are plenty of good aokp roms here, but don't risk damaging your device.
Current device:
Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Running Moon rom V2 w/ Perseus OC to 1.8ghz, pimped out with the zero lemon 9300 mah

As ztotherad said you need to read droidstyles guide.
As for using Roms, if you want Roms check the ones in the Verizon Note 2 Development and Original Development sections. Those are the only ones for our phones.
If you're going to flash a Touchwiz ROM you can flash Roms from the other Note 2's but only the LTE ones and then you have to use a patch to make them work. The Note 2 Roms from other carriers are only from specific phones though, the include the N7105, the AT&T version, the T-Mobile version, and maybe another. You have to use the patch with those though our else they will not work. You cannot however flash a ROM for the Nexus 7 or other devices unless it has been ported to our phone, in which case it would be in the Development section.
That being said it is very obvious that you don't know what you're doing yet, before you attempt to flash ANYTHING from another carrier you must know what you're doing and understand the ins and outs of modding and ROM flashing and the only way to do this is to read all the guides and if you don't understand something to ask questions in the Q&A section if you don't understand something or need clarification.
For the time being you only need to flash Roms from the Verizon Note 2 Development and Original Development Section and only after you have read droidstyles sticky that ztotherad posted above.

yeah, believe me, you don't want to brick this phone, it's easy to mess up.
Thank you for the guides. So what I have done so far is ran casual to root it, flashed aokp nightly, then flashed gapps-jb-20130301-signed. From what people have advised me, I haven't done a proper flash. Next, I have read up on the the droidstyle guide [GUIDE][VZW Edition]How to Root/Rom/Return to Stock the VZW Galaxy Note II many times and still have questions.
I have access to team win recovery project by pressing up volume, power, and home button.
People have been suggesting that I take it easy step by doing the flash of the rom provided on the droidstyle guide, and I will follow those newbie steps first.
Could people verify if the following step will be ok to take?
Download one of the touchwiz jelly bean roms from Section 2: How to flash a Touchwiz 4.1.1 rom/kernel from a Custom Recovery. (I've decided to go with mean bean)
Download file, transfer file onto sd micro card, power device off, restart device by going into volume up + power + home button. select wipe, then wipe cache.
Select install, then select the rom. Then reboot system. Is that it? or...
Do I also follow How to flash a custom Touchwiz kernel, and section 3? Or are those extra?
Edit: Also, in the team win recovery project, do I only need to go to wipe, swipe to factory reset to erase the previous roms? What is a good way to wipe to start from scratch again before flashing the mean bean rom that I'm downloading? I don't really need anything else on the phone...
Thanks again~

You hold power+volume up+home button to boot into TWRP. Then hit wipe.
At this point you have a couple options. You can simply swipe to factory reset.
If you have an external sd card, I like to move the rom (meanbeanice.zip) to the external. then i hit format data to completely wipe the internal sd.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
So if I do an entire format data to completely wipe the internal sd, then flash go to install to install meanbean. I would have a clean new start with mean bean?
Yes, just make sure you hit the backup tab first to make a 'nandroid'. if anything goes wrong, you can boot into recovery and hit the restore tab to boot into the state of the phone as it was when you backed up.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
I'll make the backup first. It will keep my team wiz recovery I'm assuming then?
For mean bean, I'll do the wipe, backup, then format data completely, install mean bean, go back and install sticky settings, go back and install sticky debloat to delete all the unwanted softwares? (Such as the nfl, amazon, and etc.)

Did you change the .blt file as explained in the OP of Mikey's thread? You have to edit that file then run the sticky debloat. It's unlikely that at this point you would have the experience to edit that file before flashing the ROM (please take no offense...) that's why I'm guessing that's your issue.

It's actually one of the hardest to brick I have ever seen as long as you didn't update to VRAMC3, it seems like the minority of the issues come from phones with that update and is utterly puzzling. I'm just glad that I got my phone before *any* updates came out.

I wonder why it seems like VRAMC3 is causing more issues, I know its 4.1.2 and has a new bootloader but is there a reason aside from that causing the issues.... It could also just be that more people are buying the Note 2 since the update.

Hey guys so basically the thread title says it all. I need a few testers who have the Canadian variant sgh-i527m who can test a rom base for me. What I need is confirmation that everything works on the base ie Bluetooth, data, WiFi, NFC,etc. Once deemed a stable base I can work on making the magic happen of adding cool features.
Of course the standard risks apply: you are responsible for anything you flash or that happens as a result. As always please make a nandroid backup before flashing and ensure you are using the latest, stable recovery
At this point the ROM is rooted, deodexed, zipaligned all apks and Knox free

Hello,
I'm testing it on a i9205....
I installed it over a 4.2.2 bootloader as I never installed KK. So it looks like KK is installing over 4.2.2 Mega fire bootloader
.
I'm finishing up to setup all my account and let you know. So far its working well, the first run Wizard even detect my country "France", it did not before in 4.2.
I ll keep you posted but so far looking good.
Thanks
see screenshot attached
Just a small adjustement, on the i9205 the wifi is not turning on... I dont know why, a driver issue maybe. I will try replace wifi firmware and modules if I can.
Also when I go to ->Setting->security it says setting has stopped. then the phone is rebooting

OK thanks for the feedback. If you're still on the ROM can you run a lotcat and try wifi and also go back to settings security. And then send me the logcat. If you send me it with those issues recreated I should be able to see what the problem is

Sorry I cant, I had to go back to Mega Fire rom as I had no Wifi and cannot install Titanium to restore everything (As I cannot access security options) I had to revert to 4.2.2.
I also tried to modified your zip with a i9205 boot.img and all the System files into your zip from another 4.4.2 i9205, and I had the same issue. I'm starting to wonder if I dont have a radio issue compatibilty or my bootloader 4.2 is messing with some feature (like android finding knox is not on the bootloader). If you have any idea, I dont mind trying again but so far I would like to preserve my bootloader as my phone still under warranty.

I'm starting to wonder if I dont have a radio issue compatibilty or my bootloader 4.2 is messing with some feature (like android finding knox is not on the bootloader). If you have any idea, I dont mind trying again but so far I would like to preserve my bootloader as my phone still under warranty.

At this point my best guess is boot loader but who knows. Hopefully I can get more user feedback and i257m feedback most importantly. Thanks for your time

I ve tried another rom 4.4.2 as a zip file and same issues. I revert it back to MF V11X and it works as normal.
I'm wondering if those issues are related to the bootloader (like for Param-Security) phone is looking for knox info and cannot find them.

Anyway for now my bootloader still in 4.2
I never checked wifi (I barely use wifi as is) System settings kept force closing on me and the ROM overall was a bit laggy (compared to MegaFire - probably not a fair comparison though - lol). My phone did keep rebooting every time I went into certain system settings to make changes (I don't remember which ones at this point). To be honest, I was just trying to see if I could flash it onto my phone. I had no intent to fully test the ROM for stability. Mega's ROMs are rock steady stable so I was just trying that 4.4.2 ROM while waiting for Mega to finish and post MegaKat.

Hi,
I just test the megakat rom from megafire, with the newbootloader and its all working. I can confirm wifi and setting issue were due to the bootloader
You should take a look at megakat op and rom, u will work with a almost bug free rom

i527 boot loader is locked. Just because you put an M at the end doesn't automatically make it unlocked....pssh noobs. ?
edit>>> @scoobthegambler, you are right, I made a mistake, my apologies
@pierrottls31 it's very poor etiquette to post another devs rom in someone else's rom thread. Please help to keep development threads eleventh to the threads they pertain to
Thanks in advance
@GT247 I never posted or mention another developer's rom I merely stated that the i527 had a locked bootloader and the op restated that he was talking about i527m

No it doesnt, but the M does have a recovery and is able to flash any of Sileshnair's roms.
It is not an ATT device.

How To Flash Modem
If I wanted to flash the modem zip how would I do that? Can I flash it from flashify or do i go into TWRP and just install it like a normal zip?

I usually use viper4android especially because LG doesn't have any audio effects settings outside of it's music app. (I use Google music) when I go to install it it says check that the Rom is rooted and busyboxed... Any ideas?

Freeze it in tibu
thank you...
this is better than 10b im assuming?? was originally on 10b but didnt want to go to 11c because didnt want to get stuck and not to be able to roll back in case i didnt like it.,.. im on liquid smooth had a nandroid backup but wheni formatted my internal i accidentaly erased my nandroid backup couldnt get into download mode to use kdz/tot im hoping this rom or the 10b rom will let me use twrp to go back to stock because the 4k recording doesnt work that good with liquid smooth.. Thank you for all your work you hopefully save me alot of headaches from deleting my nandroid backup..
Other than the deodex, what's different between rooting on a 10b build and taking the OTA? Assuming you've rooted such that it carries over ... which it seems is possible.

Can this be flashed over my current setup?
Yup. And you can restore back if you want. The only thing that sticks is the modem
Again thanks for all the hard work. Really love the work you do.
OK so I made the leap and dirty flashed this over my current setup. Now I'm having issues with gmail fc'ing. So I uninstalled it thinking that may help. So I tried to install it from the play store and it says "incompatible update"??? Now I can't even sideload it as it tells me " application not installed". Any ideas as to why its doing this?
---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------
OK so something weird just happened... I went into recovery to fix permissions to see if that would help and gmail was somehow reinstalled... Its still not working but weird.
---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 PM ----------
Disregard my previous posts. Its working now.
I'm really liking the ZV6 update! The ROM is smooth and no lag noticed. I was able to pick up cell signal quickly. Great Job!

Go to Settings>About>Software. There will be 2 lines of numbers for the modem now.
It'll stick as Sacs doesn't include kernel or modem.

A couple of questions. I have bump and twrp installed and rooted on zv4, everything else is stock, except the kernel. I flashed the oversharpening fix kernel. Can I apply this zv6 update to my phone without wiping data and keeping the fixed kernel? Also, should I download the odex or deodexed?

You can probably dirty flash. But you will lose the kernel.
Obviously my recommendation is to start from scratch as there's enough changes/fixes in this update to give you issues.
On the odexed vs deodexed, you can Google it for a better explanation. But the simple answer is: Deodexed is way easier to Theme. But Odexed is said to run a bit faster/smoother because it caches the apps. If I remember that right.
Really the choice is up to you. If you want to Theme it, then you'll need deodexed.

I dirty flashed the deodexed version and when i booted the phone up, i keep getting com.android.systemui has stopped, and I can't do anything with the phone. Any fix in mind? For reference, my dpi was changed, so that may be the issue, i'm not sure

Clean install.
If you used an app to change DPI, then that's probably the issue. You need to wipe data also.
If through the build.prop, then it should've been OK.
You might be able to dirty flash the odexed as that's like factory.
Again, were taking about a factory update so it really should be a clean install.
Anyone having issues with Android Wear and ZV6? When connected to my Moto360 I get running sync loop. The only thing I haven't tried is resetting the phone and watch.
Since the update is already signed by LG, we should be able to use flashify if we have stock recovery and rooted. Is that correct? I know that I should bump TWRP, but I was holding off till lollipop. Just looking to do a dirty flash.

I know Flashify has had issues in the past with these Roms. That's why I recommend doing it in TWRP.
If you have TWRP already why Bump it again?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding.
Edit. I wouldn't think stock recovery would flash this. It's using bits and pieces of ZV6 but not all of it.
And I think the updater-scipt would make it fail. I may be wrong though.

I'm stock recovery and rooted. Since I haven't bumped TWRP, I thought I could flashify and avoid the 5 second TWRP delay issue by holding off on a custom recovery until we get the stock rooted version of lollipop. You and autoprime have always given solid advice and as such I will take your suggestion.

And again, I'm outta Thanks, so Thank you.
The 5 sec delay I talked about has disappeared for me now. But then I've flash about a million Roms in the last few days.
Others aren't getting the delay at all.
I guess what I'm saying is you don't need to reflash Bump TWRP. It works just fine. Even if you get that slight delay. Eventually it'll go away.
Edit. Get TWRP installed now. Have some fun with whatever Rom you want to try. Personally I'm not expecting Lollipop til next year. If it happens sooner great.
