stock recovery mean doesn't flash Twrp or CWM anyway you can download KDZ (rom LP ) and flash it by LG up or LG flash tool

Thanks, this is really great and i'll use soon... The only thing i think that isn't there its and advice from backup of EFS partition at least the first time (for noobs)

---

Please do not use this if you have an ATT variant... This guy doesn't mention this is for T-Mobile only.

Hello ! You have to flash D802 version and D806 modem because if you dont do that you will have loss of total signal when its 4G and you have to reboot (my experience)... And LineageOS have random reboots with F2FS... Thats all i think :laugh:

Well, for some unknown reason OneClickRecovery didn't do it's job properly and when I rebooted to go into recovery it actually did a factory reset and I lost all my valuable data. Worked second time but I'm so fcked now.

Does your bootloader status matter when doing this or is it somehow solved by the tool? Also, can you flash Resurrection Remix (Nougat) using the same method?

Hi !
I'm from france, and I've just received an old LG G2 D802 on Android 5.0.2.
The previous owner of the phone told me that it was rooted, but the application "root checker" says the contrary.
In order to be sure, do I need to do a reset, or can I just simply start this procedure ?
Also, does the TWRP update is mandatory, because the last version of TWRP recovery on their website is 2.8.7.0, it is not sufficient ?
Thanks !
