[UPDATED: 08-14-2013]
This is a cordial invite for anyone to join OUR thread about different issues with roms, flashing, setting up, and so on, no BS thread where you feel like you are walking on ice in other threads with questions and so on. Good conversation, good help from others have been a strong point, these guys help a lot, feel free to join if you feel you are getting no help anywhere. We talk about everything, recoveries, backups, what roms run on your device, and so on. We help others get roms from other carriers running on their devices. We treat everyone the same, noobs are seriously welcome. Many flash-a-holics there, remember, the only stupid question, is the one you never asked.
[GUIDE][ROMS]RUN OTHER CARRIER ROMs on AT&T/TMO/Canadian/Verizon S4 devices. Here's how!

I've been following along over there. Nice work!
Am I reading it right? Simply flash their ROM then our kernel? Then edit apns? Is it really that simple . .

I tested Omega and data was a no go. Tried a few various things and still couldn't get it to work. Might not be the case for all ROMs from the other variants, but I just gave up on trying to get it to work.

Omega is one of the EASY ones. DATA WORKS WITH CORRECT APN SETTINGS PERIOD!
Not going into details here...but
Back up current rom
Wipe dalvik/cache/data
Flash Omega
before you boot Omega, flash YOUR kernel from here
Reboot
Add Verizon apn settings manually
Reboot
Enjoy!
What did not work?
BTW, didn't see you ask any questions in my thread.

Are you saying that i can use ANY rom from I9505 in my SGH-I545?
I bought a Verizon phone but really dont need anything from them. If i flash other rom i´ll just need to put in UMTS/GSM and edit APN for my carrier (Brasil) ?

haven't used it before, I say yes, but depending on the rom you choose to run. you can add the settings manually. easy
I would love to try this but the verizon backup assistant thing scares me. Basically I can't turn this off from the verizon end. I would love to know what kind of messages I will get if that is not turned off. Does it keep coming?
I'd still like to see proof and exact steps with data working. I've tried multiple times and it was a no go so I would suggest VZW users not waste their time until someone confirms data is a go.
Edit: Appears Sprint users are having the same problem. Sorry bro, but you are acting like you personally tried these ROMs on various devices when the fact is that you can only speak for the AT&T variant. Just because stuff is working for you does NOT mean it will work for CDMA users.

I have 2 users, one being verizon, and one sprint, that have verified, but I have not got screenshots from them as of yet, I believe you may be correct until I have proof. I will have an answer soon.
1.0 Introduction
This is a series of guides that will cover the basics of ROMs, kernels, recoveries, installation and so on. Questions asked in here will be answered as fast as possible. This is not a thread for unbricking your device, but rather to avoid getting into a situation where you end up with a bricked device. I do realise that the LG G2 is a year old, but since its price has dropped, it offers A LOT of value for money and while some people leave for newer devices, other people grab the G2.
1.1 Rooting
Let's cover the basics steps of rooting, installing a custom recovery and making your first backup.
If you do not know what root is, a brief explanation would be getting access to the root of your device. What that means is that you get access to parts of your device that are otherwise hidden - because the average Joe would not know what to do with root access and could possibly end up with a device that is unusable. As implied, there is a risk involved in rooting your device, although with the LG G2 the action is most often reversable.
Disclaimer: I cannot be held responsible for any damage you do to your device. Following this guide should be safe, but there is a risk involved
So how do you root your LG G2?
The absolute easiest way is to download towelroot. If your software version is 20G or newer, (or if towelroot doesn't work for you) try stump root. Link further below.
towelroot can be downloaded from towelroot.com
Click the lambda, download the apk file and install it.
If you get a pop up message claiming that the apk is dangerous, agree to it and continue installing. As previously mentioned, rooting IS not risk free, and this application abuses an exploit in the kernel.
After installing and opening, press "make it ra1n". That will root your device.
When finished, reboot. Then go to Play Store and download SuperSU. SuperSU is an application that will allow apps to gain superuser access and it is vital for any root user.
Now you have root and the ability to give SuperUser access to apps.
EDIT: For Software versions 20G and up, towelroot doesn't work anymore, use stump root instead.
Link is here: Stump Root for LG Devices
1.2 Installing a Custom Recovery
Why is a custom recovery necessary? It is, because it’s the easiest way (and often the only way) to get your device back and working in case you get stuck in a bootloop. It’s also vital for flashing custom ROMS and custom kernels.
How do I get one? Well, there’s an app for that!
Check out this thread to get AutoRec, an application that’ll automatically install a custom recovery to your G2! Credits go to @Cloudyfa and @bender_007 CLICK HERE
IMPORTANT!
MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT VERSION FOR YOUR DEVICE!!!!!!
After downloading, install the application, allow it superuser access and install a custom recovery.
When finished, reboot to recovery. You’ll need to take a backup of your working ROM.
2.0 Making a backup of your working ROM and vital partitions
Now you should be in recovery:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Tap “Backup”, and backup the following partitions:
Boot
System
Data
EFS
The backup will take roughly 3 minutes to finish, be patient. When it’s done, reboot system.
Make a few copies of the backup. ALWAYS have a backup on your device , keep one on your computer and one on a microSD somewhere.
Cheers for this...looking at possibly buying it soon. So I guess this will work even regardless if its a D800 or D802?

Yay I'm happy it could help anybody!
Yes it should, but it depends on which software version your D800 comes with. If towelroot doesn't work, IOroot or Stumproot should work Try this out when you get it - if it doesn't work, quote this message (so that I get a mail) and let me know.
Will do cheers. Yeah looking at buying a D802 from Hong Kong hy the end of this month, so no idea what kind of software its going to come with [emoji53]. Plus I want to install the G3 ROM onto it pretty much straightaway. Never rooted before but seems fairly straight forward.
should point out that autorec is for kitkat only afaik
also towelroot doesn't work on some of the later kitkat roms, but you can use 'stump' root instead

If you're getting a D802 you shouldn't worry one bit. Even the latest 20F software can be rooted by towelroot!

Great, looking forwards to that!
Towelroot does not show ROOTED in either dialer status RCT check or Download mode!
Yup it worked for me.
Ofcourse, I didn't take the root too far, only used it for the following:
Install SuperSU
Install Greenify/WLD/G2 Xposed
Later on, wanted to use warranty, and was a lil worried, but it seems undetectable, especially since I've deleted SuperSU and Xposed..
I did not:
Install custom recovery
Install custom ROM
So, anyone else considering using towelroot, but hesitating because of the potential warranty implications, this should help make up ur mind..
This thread is what i am looking for so THANKS alot OP. Really helped us noobs. Can You do TuTs(noob friendly) on 'How to install custom roms using Autorec' or kk based ROms or kernels to LP based roms and kernels etc kinda like that flashing basebands and all for LG g2 D802 ? Cheers m8

Hi,

Apparently, bc's i (maybe) made the flashing not like the op stated - the EMMC flash part in processor was damaged.
I paid more then 100$ to replace it.
The wierd thing: i still have Build KVT49L.LS990ZV4 in my settings (software information) But acually don't think i really on this rom(!!!)

So happy to meet U here.
I downloaded what supposed 2be this Rom and i had a ciritical issu that finished with harming the Flash part of the processor.
I remember 2many users complained about an issues after flash it.
I'm affraid that something with the OP tut is not clear.
We all need 2remember that most of us do not read fluent english.
I made in the past on a several devices Root & Rom flashing via TRWP without any issue.
I supposed 2know this...but in that Rom combine with that thus is my 1st on the G3 & that i am using the LS990 on a GSM/LTE out of u.s ---> it make it harder 4me.
So yes - i do need a good explanation on how to install this rom, how to setup everything.
I will need the explanation as you show a 4 years old kid how to count to 10.
Thank you very much!

Good morning/afternoon/evening, all -
I recently hard-bricked my S4 trying to flash. It came up as a QHSUSB_DLOAD in windows device manager. I tried several different approaches to fix the bootloader, but eventually had to send it to a service to try to JTAG it.
He reports it still cannot boot, and has requested - from someone with a ROOTED I545 ON OC1 (do we know anyone like that?) - the following file:
Ok, you need an I545 in OC1 with root access. We need to create a dump of about 128MB. You can do this by using ADB shell and type
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/dump.bin bs=128 count=1000000
This will create a 128mb file on the internal storage of the phone which you can copy back to the computer and send to me.

Take it from someone who worked on this device for a long time. SD Card Debrick does not not work on anything above NC5. We have all tried many times. Looks like beginning with the NK1, SBL1 no longer searches for the SD Card as a bootable device.

Should ask jtag guy to dump imem and pbl while he's in there
... and YES! IT LIVES!!!
Will be OF1 stock - but at least it's not a brick!
I know this is an older post...
I'm trying to find the same I545 OF1 adb dump to use for jtag.
I know the sdcard debrick does not work with OF1, and I already tried injecting the single bootloader partitions that are in the firmware without success.
I'm hoping the dump will solve my issue because of the PGPT, MD5 , MBR or other partitions that may be corrupted.
I am not interested in the efs /MEID..
Thanks!

I know this is an older post...
I'm trying to find the same I545 OF1 adb dump to use for jtag.
I know the sdcard debrick does not work with OF1, and I already tried injecting the single bootloader partitions that are in the firmware without success.
I'm hoping the dump will solve my issue because of the PGPT, MD5 , MBR or other partitions that may be corrupted.
I am not interested in the efs /MEID..
Thanks!
Joe

Warning this is engboot, meaning its not made to be used on day to day basis you may run into some issues. Hopefully we can fix them as we go!
Also do not update supersu through playstore untill we are for sure that it wont mess anything up
Notice from @Chainfire:

I'm just going to leave this here...
SuperSU-v2.74-2-S7QC.zip
You will need:
- Engineering boot images
- Patched version of Odin3 (only AT&T models ?)
- Extract files, and run root.bat with adb on the path
This version of SuperSU is not officially supported. I recommend against updating the APK from the Play Store, or otherwise updating the binaries, unless someone knowledgable has tried before you and confirmed it worked.
If it breaks, you get to keep all the pieces.

First of all thanks to @Chainfire for helping achieve su and @princecomsy for giving me the odin file and engboot
I take no responsibility for anything that happens to your device, same goes for everyone that helped.
First file you will need is here http://d-h.st/gsDA
This is special Odin to bypass SHA-256 made by Princecosmy
Second file you will need is
G935A http://d-h.st/lQY8
G930A http://d-h.st/aK2A
This is the engboot. Using @billas since its already uploaded.
Basically once you have these two files open up the odin included and place the .tar in the ap section should only take a few seconds to flash.
After you are back up download SuperSU made for our phone from here https://download.chainfire.eu/968/SuperSU/SuperSU-v2.74-2-S7QC.zip
Extract the files to a folder.
Here it may get a bit tricky for some.
Go to your adb install location. Open a command window where your adb files are located.
Change the directory to your supersu folder location from earlier, and run the root.bat from the cmd.
I am not very good at instructions as this is my first time doing anything like this.
For the bounty id prefer if you just donate to https://secure.savethechildren.org/....C01C/Global_Action_Fund/apps/ka/sd/donor.asp
Makes more of a lasting impact then what i could do with any of it.
Again thank you to everyone who helped!
We made it fam!
If you are successful after rooting and can give better instructions please let me know!
Thanks a lot.....you guys are awesome...
Thanks! I'll be trying this for T-Mobile varient. But can someone please mirror the Speedyshare links? I can't download them for some reason. Popup blockers perhaps?

Hey hey let's not get ahead of ourselves . . .
Good job , by the way Br3w3r !
Will this work for the ATT S7 Edge? When you say not to use on day to day basis, do you do root stuff then revert back to regular kernel?

You can use it on a day to day basis. Dont try going back it will remove what you have done. The issues if there are any are minor.
And yes it is for ATT S7 edge.
I have a few questions here.
What exactly is going on with this root process? Is it installing a recovery? Will this trip knox? I assume Samsung Pay won't work anymore? Can we finally used xposed? If so, which version?
How can one revert if we felt the need to?
I feel so sorry for @br3w3r for having to deal with all of the Q&A after all of this hard work. LOL! But seriously, thanks for all of this.

Who is the bounty going to? As much as I appreciate your efforts I want to donate to all that made it happen.
Will our phones lag? I read on another thread that engboot causes our phone to lag.

The email is for @princecomsy, he is going to get it then split with me. Chainfire said he did not want bounty. Even though i feel he deserves it.
Everyone slowwwww down. Root was just established. As for knox, Verizon, and any other questions hold tight. I'm installing it on my Verizon s7 now

I'll be installing soon too. But I'm doing something first.
While downloading G935TUVS3APD8_G935TTMB3APD8_TMB firmware (just in case) I'm also backing everything up with Smart Switch first. Just in case.
