[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] LG G2 D802 stock to Android 11
[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] LG G2 LG-D802 (Unlocked/International) stock to Android 11 R/LineageOS 18.1 with all files included
This detailed step-by-step guide helps you transform your LG G2 D802 to a powerful one with Android 11.

Hi, glad you liked it !
Hi djibe,
thank you for this great guide. I followed it with a little extra work: I had to run AutoRec once to re-enable the download mode on the LG G2 d802 which was on stock 4.4.2 (also LGUP was not detecting my device: used Uppercut to got it recognized correctly). Second issue might be due to my own stupid way of trying all kind of tools to get the download mode working (again Autorec helped me --> Just in case someone else has similar issues).
Only real problem I had with your guide was at point 11 after installing LineageOS: The device got stuck in a bootloop to TWRP. I guess I solved it following this note:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...thermal-f2fs-2019-12-23.2898705/post-55892416
WARNING 2: DO NOT ENCRYPT F2FS - ROM and RECOVERY will BOTH bootloop and you'll be doing back to stock method!!!
If you want to use F2FS:
1) Make sure your kernel and ramdisk support f2fs (the dev of your ROM/kernel should have f2fs support noted). Dorimanx stock kernel as well as many AOSP kernels have full f2fs support.
2) Install and boot into my recovery.
3) Go to Wipe, Advanced Wipe, select /data, then click Change Partition Type. Select f2fs, and it will convert. Repeat this process for /cache.
4) Reboot the recovery, NOT reboot to system. DO NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL YOU REBOOT RECOVERY!!!
5) Reboot OS. That's it! You're ready to go.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Actually I didn't want to encypt anything (not sure where I should have done this???) or have a clue what are the pros/cons of using F2FS but I converted the mentioned partitions and installed LineageOS agian: Working without boot loop!
What I recognized during the installation in TWRP: I got a red error message "E:Unable to decrypt FBE device" do I need to worry about this (basically I just want a fresher Android and the usual Gapps on the device than 4.4, nothing fancy)? Or did I miss an important point in you guide?
Thank you!
Edit: I guess I forgot to reboot between installing Lineage, Bitgapps and Magisk! --> no need to format the /data and /cache partition
I found that at step 10
"Install > Magisk*.zip
When done message prompts, tap on Wipe Cache/Dalvik and Swipe to Wipe, wait.
Disconnect phone from PC.
Then tap on Reboot System."
When we choose Reboot System, we have to uncheck those two boxes and click DO NOT INSTALL. Otherwise it will do a TWRP bootloop.
After I figure this out, I can successfully install Android 11 on my G2.
Thank you for your guide~

It looks like computer is searching an USB device.
Go to Windows Device Manager to check if drivers are correctly installed.

How can be a driver issue if before files has been successfully pushed in phone and that it is correctly rebooted ?
The COM port can be tricky.

I would like to ask everbody not to send me PMs with questions about the installation, that is what the forum is here for. Also everbody should do this at their OWN RISK!
If you already have recovery installed, go to step (3) and continue from there.
(1): As a first step, we should "root" our stock 4.3, so later on we can install a recovery tool:
- a: Download the towelroot apk and click on the Lambda icon
- b: On the phone, navigate to Settings > Security and check the Unknown Resources checkbox
- c: Copy the tr.apk to your phone's SD card and install it
- d: Estabilish an active internet connection on your phone
- e: Run the towelroot app and once it loaded, tap on the "make it ra1n" button. This should "root" your phone.
**The reason why the word "root" is between quotation marks, is because the towelroot app doesn't actually root your phone, but allows a superuser application to be installed on it. We don't actually need an SU app, but "root" is needed for the installation of the recovery.
(2): Installing the Recoveries (source: [link])
-a: On the phone, navigate to "Settings > Developer Options" and check the "USB Debugging" checkbox. If you don't have it listed, just tap the "Build Number" within "Settings > About Phone" 4-5 times.
-b: Connect your phone to the PC
-c: Download the recovery pack created by dssmex
-d: Extract the CWM_SP_4.4.1.zip file to your computer and depending on your operating system run the appropriate install***** file (install_mac.sh= MAC OSx; install_linux.sh= Linux; install.bat= Windows) **(On Windows a menu will appear, where you need to choose option "1" and the rest will be done automatically)
-e: If the installation is successful and you see no errors, you can reboot your phone. Otherwise repeat the installation until it is completely error-free
-f: After reboot, the phone indicates with some blinking lights and a slight vibration that you are now able to select from the recoveries (volume rocker down=TWRP recovery; volume rocker up=Philz recovery; camera button=CWM recovery). It is up to you which one you select, as all of them should be able to do the job just fine. Personally I recommend CWM and the guide will follow this method. IMPORTANT: During the recovery selection, the idle time is 2 seconds and if no button is pressed, the phone will boot normally.
(3): Installation of the CM12 rom:
-a: Download the newest rom from here: [link]
-b: Copy the cm-12-201*****-UNOFFICIAL-lbhuashan.zip to your phone, preferrably to the external SD card. (This can be performed during recovery too, but copying to the SD card is significantly slower this way, so before you do that please read section (4))
-c: During recovery selection, choose CWM
(Quick CWM navigation guide: With physical buttons: Volume down=move down; Volume up=move up; On/off button=Enter/select menu option; || With swipe gestures: Swipe down: move down; Swipe up=move up; Swipe right=Enter/select menu option; Swipe left=back)
-d: Make a backup of your current system, by going to "backup and restore" and selecting the "backup to /storage/sdcard1" option. This will create a "clockworkmod" folder on your SD card and the dated backups will be stored here.
-e: Now go to "Wipe data/factory reset" and select the "Yes-Wipe All user data" option. This will erase the /Data /Cache partitions and delete the ".android_secure" folder on the SD card. IMPORTANT: This may take several minutes to complete.
It is advised to do the following when performing a clean install:
It may happen that the installer is unable to format the system, so it needs to be perfomed manually by going to "mount and storage" and selecting the "format /system" option.
-f: Navigate to "install zip->choose zip from /storage/sdcard1" then browse to and select the previously copied CM11 rom
-g: The CM12 rom should now be installed. If you don't prefer to install the Gapps pack, then reboot your phone with the "reboot system now" option, otherwise go to step (4)
(4): Installation of the google apps (Gapps):
-a: Download the newest CM12 gapps from this list
-b: Copy it to the external SD card
-c: Go to CWM recovery again (camera button)
-d: Navigate to "install zip->choose zip from /storage/sdcard1" and select the Gapps pack you just copied to the SD card
(5): Installation of the SuperSU app:
-a: Download the newest UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.**.zip
-b: Copy it to the external SD card
-c: Go to CWM recovery again (camera button)
-d: Navigate to "install zip->choose zip from /storage/sdcard1" and select the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.**.zip you just copied to the SD card
-e: Once installation is done, reboot the phone

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frequently Asked Questions + Useful info:
- The first boot will always be slow. This is because once you enter your google account details it starts updating the google apps and your personal details, while downloading your own applications as well
- The rom does not include Sony's own services and user interface
- The rom is rooted by default
- You cannot apply any custom kernels as the bootloader is locked
- After first boot, turn off NFC (or at least try to remove the check from the checkbox, it will not be possible due to a bug), then reboot the phone. After this you will be able to turn it on/off as per usual.
- The rom contains CWM and Philz recovery too (camera button=CWM; volume up=Philz)
- Glove mode is turned on by default, but if you would like to turn it off, go to "Settings->Language & Input" and remove the check from the "High Touch Sensitivity" checkbox
- To enable "Developer Tools" & "Performance" menu options, navigate to "Settings->About Phone" and tap "Build number" 4-5 times
- Hijack is a script that enables useres to boot not only stock roms on a locked bootloader, but custom ones too like Cyanogenmod, aopk, pa, pac, slimkat, omni etc...
- It is not possible to update a rom OTA, only from recovery. The method of updating the rom is the same as installing it from step (3), the only difference is that the "-d: wipe data/factory reset" part needs to be skipped
- If you want to play games, it is a good idea to change the "Profile" to "Performance" under the "Performance" menu option for the duration of play
- You can make the Google search bar disappear from the home screen by opening the settings menu of the Trebuchet launcher via long press. Then expand the advanced settings by swiping up the grey bar of Wallpapers Modules Themes. Here look for the Search bar and switch it off.

Quite normal.. the server is really slow... I'm using a 1Gbps (1000mbps) server to download this and I get only 50+kb/s...
OP, I got a server that can be used as a mirror for your ROM. If you are interested in hosting your ROM on my servers then do PM me!
Will try it bro
Downloading now
u are awesome Bagyusz !
my nexus 7 just even get the update, and then a non supported by the manufacturer with locked bootloader unbelievable , thx a lot !
Error during installing
during the installation me aparece esto "mount: failed to mount /dev/block/plataform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/Userdata at /data: Device or resource busy"
"Script succeeded: result was [0. 200000]"
i dont know if it is normal but instalation do not cancel
Wow great job! This source code is far more advanced than mine! I'll try to contribute to the code (I don't think that'll be a problem? I'm just saying ).
It wouldn't hurt you if I were to modify and improve your ROM and release it separately with credits or would you prefer I don't?
And Huge thanks to the others who pitched in! You guys seem to never fail to be a great source of help. Were all in this together so pat yourself on the back because you've just raised the hearts of millions of Xperia SP users worldwide!
And another note, i would be happy to improve the thread further
(Do pm me separately if you're not comfortable talking on the forums )
Cheers!
I bet the code and RIL errors gave you a headache!
For all: Install via Philz Recovery

-f: After reboot, the phone indicates with some blinking lights and a slight vibration that you are now able to select from the recoveries (volume rocker down=TWRP recovery; volume rocker up=Philz recovery; camera button=CWM recovery). It is up to you which one you select, as all of them should be able to do the job just fine. Personally I recommend CWM and the guide will follow this method. IMPORTANT: During the recovery selection, the idle time is 2 seconds and if no button is pressed, the phone will boot normally.
(3): Installation of the CM12.1 rom:
-a: Download the newest rom from here: [link]
-b: Copy the cm-12.1-201*****-UNOFFICIAL-lbhuashan.zip to your phone, preferrably to the external SD card. (This can be performed during recovery too, but copying to the SD card is significantly slower this way, so before you do that please read section (4))
-c: During recovery selection, choose CWM
(Quick CWM navigation guide: With physical buttons: Volume down=move down; Volume up=move up; On/off button=Enter/select menu option; || With swipe gestures: Swipe down: move down; Swipe up=move up; Swipe right=Enter/select menu option; Swipe left=back)
-d: Make a backup of your current system, by going to "backup and restore" and selecting the "backup to /storage/sdcard1" option. This will create a "clockworkmod" folder on your SD card and the dated backups will be stored here.
-e: Now go to "Wipe data/factory reset" and select the "Yes-Wipe All user data" option. This will erase the /Data /Cache partitions and delete the ".android_secure" folder on the SD card. IMPORTANT: This may take several minutes to complete.
It is advised to do the following when performing a clean install:
It may happen that the installer is unable to format the system, so it needs to be perfomed manually by going to "mount and storage" and selecting the "format /system" option.
-f: Navigate to "install zip->choose zip from /storage/sdcard1" then browse to and select the previously copied CM11 rom
-g: The CM12 rom should now be installed. If you don't prefer to install the Gapps pack, then reboot your phone with the "reboot system now" option, otherwise go to step (4)
(4): Installation of the google apps (Gapps):
-a: Download the newest CM12.1 gapps from this list
-b: Copy it to the external SD card
-c: Go to CWM recovery again (camera button)
-d: Navigate to "install zip->choose zip from /storage/sdcard1" and select the Gapps pack you just copied to the SD card
-e: Once installation is done, reboot the phone

Frequently Asked Questions + Useful info:
- The first boot will always be slow. This is because once you enter your google account details it starts updating the google apps and your personal details, while downloading your own applications as well
- The rom does not include Sony's own services and user interface
- The rom is rooted by default
- You cannot apply any custom kernels as the bootloader is locked
- After first boot, turn off NFC (or at least try to remove the check from the checkbox, it will not be possible due to a bug), then reboot the phone. After this you will be able to turn it on/off as per usual.
- The rom contains CWM and Philz recovery too (camera button=CWM; volume up=Philz)
- Glove mode is turned on by default, but if you would like to turn it off, go to "Settings->Language & Input" and remove the check from the "High Touch Sensitivity" checkbox
- To enable "Developer Tools" & "Performance" menu options, navigate to "Settings->About Phone" and tap "Build number" 4-5 times
- Hijack is a script that enables useres to boot not only stock roms on a locked bootloader, but custom ones too like Cyanogenmod, aopk, pa, pac, slimkat, omni etc...
- It is not possible to update a rom OTA, only from recovery. The method of updating the rom is the same as installing it from step (3), the only difference is that the "-d: wipe data/factory reset" part needs to be skipped
- If you want to play games, it is a good idea to change the "Profile" to "Performance" under the "Performance" menu option for the duration of play
- You can make the Google search bar disappear from the home screen by opening the settings menu of the Trebuchet launcher via long press. Then expand the advanced settings by swiping up the grey bar of Wallpapers Modules Themes. Here look for the Search bar and switch it off.

TWRP is initialized and fully functional at this stage. Now you can either reboot into system or root, flash custom ROMs via TWRP.
Part 3 - HOW-TO ROOT:

- Option 1: Magisk
- Option 2: SuperSU (untested)
2. Transfer the zip to your phone.
3. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.

Yes you will, make sure you've backed-up as much as you can to your Google Cloud Storage. I promise, it's worth it.
Many Thanks

I spent ages getting this phone just like i want it and seriously cant be bothered to do it all again - will i be ok keeping encryption on if all i want to achieve is root?
what will i lose out on if i dont disable encryption?

I found that if I didn't disable the encryption, root wouldn't work as it couldn't mount the file system to make the relevant changes

Anyone managed to get Samsung Pass and Secure Folder working? I have Magisk Hide running and Knox Trip is emulated to 0x0. Other apps that would normally detect root don't detect it but Samsung Pass and Secure Folder still can.
Is superSU SR3 working??
its a great work
anyone tried if Samsung Pay still works after this? I have not got my phone yet.
Just for info tried installing the SuperSU binary through TWRP but, as TWRP seems to have no access to the SD card, the flash failed and left me in a boot loop.
Reinstalling TWRP from Odin and reflashing Magisk solved the Boot loop issue.
SuperSU did kill the Knox processes for me though to stop the annoying nagging notifications.
If after flashing from Odin, phone says that needs restore, Just press volume up Bixby Power, wait, then format data, Power off. Now ho back in download mode, reflash with odin, done.
It works all', except personal area and Samsung health
would this work on the SM-G950FD?
if i use this method i lose warranty ? is it possible to do evrything later on normal without having any trouble ?
Phone brick...LOL...
help : just tried to root my g950f Uk 02 - i've flashed it a few times and used the two flash but im getting verification failed and it wont erase anymore when i try use the recovery flash i get invaled mount /data when using that decrypt .zip in flashables do i need to redo the stock firmware and start again?
i am still waiting for my S8(exynos) to arrive and here comes the twrp i did not even wished yet....

This is great. Many thanks
Great job and many thanks for your efforts!
Do I get this right?
When I'm in download mode, I have to hold the 3 buttons again and press start in odin ?
Doesn't that interrupt the flash process ?

There's no guarantee a software update will ever unlock your bootloader if the OEM Unlock option is not available for you. I would suggest selling it and buying a new one that does have the option. If you really want to root or install custom ROMs, why take the risk when you spent $1000 on this phone for a specific purpose?
If you just bought your phone, it must still be brand new and in pristine condition. You should sell it for almost full price. The demand is really high right now so you'll have no problems selling it fast.

can be your carrier blocked the oem unlock. download a debranded firmware like the one with AUT or DBT csc and flash it with odin and look if you have then the menu. But flash it only when you have a N950F or a N950F/DS
Has anyone tested Android Pay after doing this?

All variants are supported (TicWatch Pro, Pro 2020, Pro 4G/LTE)
I present to you: Kali NetHunter for the TicWatch Pro WearOS
Kali NetHunter is an Android ROM overlay that turns an ordinary phone into the ultimate Mobile Penetration Testing Platform. Now it's available for your smartwatch with some limitations.
The overlay includes a custom kernel, a Kali Linux chroot, an accompanying Android application, which allows for easier interaction with various security tools and attacks.
Beyond the penetration testing tools arsenal within Kali Linux, NetHunter also supports several additional classes, such as HID Keyboard Attacks, BadUSB attacks, WPS attacks, and much more. For more information about the moving parts that make up NetHunter, check out our NetHunter Components page.
NetHunter is an open-source project developed by Offensive Security and the community.

Excited to try this with Catshark!
Thank you!
@yesimxev a fantastic contribution, just for the pleasure that "you do it because you can" you have my full support.
Can you upload screenshots or video, I'm curious how it interacts with the ROM when you do WPS attack, NMAP scan or any other of the functions you have enabled.
Is the ROM adapted to the much smaller screen size that the watches have?

Yes I've optimised the NH app to fit. See some of my videos for HID, WPS attacks and even Konboot:

Any advice for me please?

Thank you!,
If I am comprehending correctly this great write up includes the build for catfish only.
Meaning other models, must refer to @janjan's repo found here for the other ROM.
I used the only build for my device that is available in JanJan's repo.
Thanks for your patience.

The kali[.]org and these instructions are the same. I've updated both in the same time. I'm afraid you might have a different way to flash. Or try the stock, you don't really need to be on the custom ROM. The NetHunter kernel will be the same and if you don't need any Mobvoi apps, we'll google how to remove them
Also, are you sure you've got a US model?

Ha! I didn't notice the equivalence of the instructions. I should've read the first one in its entirety. I skimmed it thinking it was for a newer build. My bad.

Try stock for the win!
I followed the instructions to the letter on my ticwatch pro but after I adb sideloaded nethunter-2022.2b-ticwatchpro-wearos-kalifs-nano.zip and rebooted... it's not there.
I did it a few times and always the same result: I don't see it in the apps list, am I missing some hidden step?

Did you setup the watch before flashing? Show me the /tmp/recovery.log using pastebin

How do I extract that file from the watch? There is no terminal installed, even though I flashed nethunter
Just wanted to add to this that it's possible to get into the settings menu to enable ADB before pairing with your phone, by holding the top button for a couple seconds on the pairing screen. Should let you save a good chunk of time from installation by avoiding setting the watch up repeatedly
