Maybe you missed a step. Make sure to go in developer settings in rom and turn allow OEM unlocking on. Then go into fastboot mode and run: fastboot OEM unlock.

I fixed it I'm on Resurrection remix I freaking love it do u know a good sound mod to increase the volume

There are also some mods that can be installed as magisk modules like viper4android they you could try. Haven't personally used them with this phone but I used to use viper4android back when I had the g2 and it worked well. Just go into magisk app and go to downloads tab and download and install the viper mod or other audio mods. Nice part is if you don't like them you can just remove the module from the app.

Go for ARISE mod. Charming sound. I just love it. It gives different dimension to the music we listen. Clear, loud and pure sound.
I am using ARISE 3.1 (flashed modular version rather the aroma version). I love it.

No VS980 Firmware for Verizon or does the LS980 work for both?
yeah seems there's no vzw.But there'll be one soon surely @houstonn just started these builds but the are stable.
Can you make a video where you show how android 4.4 works on g2? Nobody has made one yet.. So would be great if you was the first:good:And one Question, how is the gaming performance on this rom compared to the stock 4.2.2 lg rom?

I've flashed a font and made a backup. It works. However, I'd at least wait until a name you know says "yes, this is safe".
Sent from my VS985 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
From the looks of this, you just followed instructions from this thread here now, even though this appears to have worked, I would not suggest going through with actually flashing anything or making backups.
The reason is partitions are different across some of the G3 devices and it would not be a smart idea to risk flashing something to a wrong partition, especially since there are 16 and 32 gb models.
With that, it looks like there is a bypass on the VZW model which is a good sign for future use.

Yes we can. This is no different than flashing a custom ROM using safestrap on a Samsung product. I don't think you guys realize how big this is. While its not a boot loader unlock, we will be able to flash custom Roms based on factory ROM.
Hoping we get Aosp soon.

[ROM] AOSP 4.4.4-R2 Geeb [19/08/2014]

Just put this together for myself and decided to share.
Its 100% pure aosp so there isn't much for me to support.
Forgot to mention when I first posted, pre-rooted and busybox pre-installed.
It is set up for Canadian geeb which has green led.
For AT&T you could try xposed and gravity box and set the notification color from there.
Latest build doesn't use touchboost and you should see some battery improvement. Also removed stock aosp recovery from install.
ROM:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712461547
Banks GAPPS I use:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712459521
Thanks! Your AOSP 4.4.2 was my first ROM with the geeb, I thought the old thread got bumped until I realized the date and version. I love all the bells and whistles of CM based ROMs, but AOSP + Gravity Box is a pretty good combo.

This is a boot.img for gee I just built:

Flash the rom as is, and fastboot flash boot boot.img after should work.
Or just replace it in the rom. Whichever is easier for you.
Let me know if it works, if it does I will start a new thread in International forum for you guys and upload a zip with this boot.img in it.
Just installed, and the ROM is working smoothly. Thank you very much for this!

They are CDMA and not GSM right?

Yes, we are CDMA. One of our first KK ROMs was actually an AOSP geeb port, exactly like this ROM (but older), and it worked. So its definitely possible!

Porting the h830 stock camera

I was wondering if it would be at all possible to port the stock camera app from the H830 for use on AOSP roms, and if so, how would one go about doing so.

rootlinux is back with another one.
This is built using Aroma installer.
Easily switch between 3.1.1.0 H918 for stock based roms.
Easily switch to 3.0.2-1 to flash AOSP roms.
Test it out and see what you think.
First build is right here.

Impossible, not enough people have your phone for anyone to develop flash & root.
Nobody has ever done it (besides kingroot, which you updated and it no longer works).
Lesson #1 if you want to root and modify any device, DONT UPDATE!
Lesson #2 If you really must have root on your phone save up and buy a LG V20, then when you post here, it will be on topic and in the appropriate place.
Or at least pick a device you know you can flash and root in advance.

It happens, part of the learning experience. Now you know...
1. Make a list of a few devices that you would like.
2. Research here before buying anything, to see if it can be done.
3. Never update, newer updates can result in preventing exploits that you need to root/flash.
