[stock firmware][D80020c] recovery friendly D80020c

This is for D800 (AT&T LG G2) users ONLY.
This package will update a phone with D80010d firmware to a "mixed" firmware that boots normally to D80020c (kitkat), but retains the older boot loader and compatibility with loki patched custom recoveries. The "normal" boot is 100% unmodified stock.
This "mixed" firmware is currently the only known way for a stock D80020c (kitkat) system that also allows custom recovery.
What's installed:
rpm, tz, modem, and system partitions from the stock D80020c (kitkat) LG G2 firmware.
LG's D80020c kernel, recompiled by @Savoca, and made compatible with the D80010d bootloader.
That will leave your existing D80010d boot loader (aboot) intact, as well as whatever custom recovery already installed.
This firmware package will (or at least should) refuse to install on ANY firmware other than the D80010d firmware. Please don't reply to this thread if you are using anything else. (That was as polite as I'll be on that issue...)
I STRONGLY suggest doing a full wipe on your device after flashing this. You don't have to, but it'd be a really good idea...
This is NOT my software. This is 100% LG's software and firmware. Don't ask for support in this thread. It won't be provided.
Instructions:
Restore your phone to the stock LG G2 D80010d firmware. Please click "here" for directions. (remember that you have the AT&T device when reading that post...) If you don't like that post, here's a youtube video (not mine) for doing the same thing. Make sure you restore the D80010d firmware and _not_ the D80010o firmware!!
Root the device and install recovery (recovery is required, root is not.) This is a link for rooting instructions. While you are welcome to use CWM for your recovery, this is a link for installing TWRP recovery. (Since cyanogenMod took freely given contributions to their codebasse and went private/for-profit, I have a personal bias against them - so my personal recommendation is for TWRP.)
Copy the d80010d_to_20c.zip package linked below to your phone.
Reboot into recovery and install the d800_to_20c.zip package.
Optionally, also install a superSU or other root package.
Optionally, but suggested, Perform a "factory reset" on your device.
Download Links:
The main package (about 1.7GB): Dev-Host (md5: 7cfe7de4ab31f727b72178b8fb618fd3)
SuperSU: Direct from Chainfire's webpage
Credits:
Several people spent countless hours working on finding a way to get recovery working with LG's kitkat. The kernel used in this package was made by @Savoca - who used the solution found by @JackpotClavin. Others involved are (as far as I'm aware) @AndroidUser00110001 and @jakew02. Of course, @Chainfire for the 'su' package.
Source:
All the images in the recovery package are completely stock with the exception of the kernel and kernel modules. The kernel is modified and recompiled with only the following patch: https://github.com/JackpotClavin/an...mmit/7b6187a0e5fb8ca59888cacf5f5b863baa8d1064. (The installer overwrites the kernel images in /system with those from the kernel compile.) The base kernel source is found on LG's opensource website under the D800 heading.
May 2014 Update:
I'm no longer able to tinker with my G2. My wife took it from me (for her own use), and she gets angry when I mess up all her settings.
(I ended up getting a HTC One M8 to tinker with.)
While I'll leave the thread unlocked so users can assist each other, please don't expect prompt responses from me or maintenance.

switched main package link to dev-host
added "source" section.

As soon as it's done downloading I will let you know that it works unless someone beats me to it that is
EDIT: Finally finished downloading I already flshed back to 10d rooted installed recovery and am now installing kk.zip
Re-Edit: just finished installing also just so you know flashing system only took about 2mins a little bit over that in terms of seconds anyways everything seems to be running fine ill report back tomorrow when its not 1am my time and can test things more thoroughly but I can confirm that everything flashes like its supposed to and also I like the little check you added where it says d80010d bootloader good!

It's actually checking that loki_patch reports a d80010d bootloader. If not, it'll abort flashing.

Thanks man, now i have kitkat with root and recovery (D80020c)

Damn I wish I had waited for this before flashing kit Kat last week. Of will I'll just have to wait on a recovery compatible with kit Kat or go back to 4.2.2 and then flash this when I have time.

This is the only way for now to have a recovery on kit Kat

Okay, so let me get this straight before I do anything. I'm currently running a custom rom right now, do I still need to revert to stock and install a custom recovery again, or can I just copy the stock kitkat zip to my phone and install from my current recovery?

What is step #1 on the instructions?
You can do whatever you want with your phone. It won't impact me whatsoever. However, that has nothing to do with what I posted.

Sigh...on every single KitKat Stock ROM ive tried so far...Bluetooth kills the battery, i mean it massacres it. I really dont get what the issue is...some sort of wakelock?

I'm just trying to get some clarification so I don't have to go out and spend $400 on a new phone.
Would you rather be unaware of what your doing and then break your phone or be cautious and ask a question to the man in charge even if it makes you look like an idiot. I thought so...sorry for wasting your time.

It clearly says on step #1-
Instructions:
1. Restore your phone to the stock LG G2 D80010d firmware. Please click "here" for directions. (remember that you have the AT&T device when reading that post...) If you don't like that post, here's a youtube video (not mine) for doing the same thing. Make sure you restore the D80010d firmware and _not_ the D80010o firmware!!
So obviously the first step is to flash back to 10d it cannot get any simpler than that

more people asking questions that have already been answered. then when you point out that their question has already been answered they say they are trying to clarify even though it's already been clarified in the OP. it's a phenomenon on xda.

I've seen that people have reported that issue on the D802, but I have to admit that I haven't seen the issue whatsoever on the my own D800. I have bluetooth on 100% of the time, and connected twice a day (on my commute to work and my commute back - each about 45 minutes.) My battery on 4.4.2 is about the same as what it was on 4.2.2 - however, "bluetooth" does show up higher on the battery app list of what is using power. Yet, it doesn't seem to have any real impact on overall battery life.
What are you basing the statement that BT is killing the battery on? Some of those OEM batter apps (like the LG one and even the android built-in one) are often misleading. For example, at least with 4.2.2, my phone wouldn't show "pandora" as a battery user (instead blaming 'android system.)
Of course, it's also possible that, for your environment, something really is causing BT to use up more battery than it should. There are several services related to BT, including the newer GATT/ATT (not related to AT&T) calls. (They are related to low power profiles.) It's possible that *something* in your environment is interacting with the phone or one of those services in such a way to cause issue... I'd suggest getting betterBatteryStats, install the piece needed for it to work properly with kitkat, and getting more detailed information from that. (When I say "environment", I mean the physical space around you, the software on your phone, or anything that may influence RF, light, sound, etc around your phone.)

...and I'm trying to give EXTREMELY clear and detailed instructions so that people don't have to replace their phone. In fact, my instructions take a paranoid approach.
However, your question is essentially asking if you could skip steps. Does a "cautious" person skip steps?
Well, you can - assuming you know EXACTLY which partitions are installed on your phone, EXACTLY where they came from, EXACTLY what version they are, and you are 100% sure that they all match what is required. Of course, if you already had all that information, then you wouldn't feel the need to ask the question, as you'd obviously be "geeky" enough to not even really need a recovery package to install it.
Don't come into this thread asking if you can skip steps and then say you want to protect the investment in your phone. As well, don't get an attitude with me if I don't put my entire life on hold, and spell out to you the very same directions that are on the first post on this thread. Don't want to follow them? Fine. Don't. Honestly, I could NOT care less what happens to your phone if you don't want to follow the instructions I typed out.
You can read. I know this, as your question was in the context of the thread. Are you one of those people who will install kitkat, won't bother to "factory reset" the phone, and then complain that things don't work properly?
Edit: On second thought, FlyingColors, please don't install the package from this post. I get no benefit if you do, but you've already been a burden. I'd rather you continue to use whatever "custom rom" you are using. It's obviously something you are happy with (as you don't want to restore your phone to stock), and I don't have the patience to answer questions when I've already taken the time to give the answers.
By the way, as you want "clarification": It's not a "rom." It's not even a "ROM." At best, it's "firmware." If it was "ROM", you wouldn't be able to change it. Read Only Memory.

Well i had this problem even when i had apps installed on a different Stock KITKAT rom created by someone. I DID NOT have this problem on the official OTA from AT&T, or on the PowerUser KitKat ROM but that had so many things missing that ireally did enjoy, maybe ill download the pack with the removed apps. So i decided to rewipe everything, ReFlash stock Jellybean and reroot and do everything all over again and then i flashed this, same problem. Bluetooth is completely off, i rarely use it. It went from 100%-60% within 1 hour of just standby, didnt even use the phone. Look at the stats and Bluetooth has been keeping the CPU awake the whole time. So i did what someone suggested, turned it on and off and rebooted. Same problem. Went back to JB, no issues.

after you went back to jb then rooted and installed custom recovery then flashed this firmware, did you do a factory reset upon first boot? meaning did you get past the initial set up then go to settings/backup and restore and reset the phone? if not then that could be your problem. the factory reset does indeed reset everything after you initially install kitkat. it worked for me also, i had mms issues every time i initially installed kk. after a factory reset the mms is resolved.

Yep, did that. Still same problem. So im assuming its something to do with the files themselves, and maybe the fixes that are being done to keep recovery. I dont know. But im back on Jellybean for now, i cant let my battery take that huge a hit.

Wow. That's REALLY strange. I wonder why it's impacting only some users, and not all. (It would make sense that if it happens when BT is turned off, it would impact 100% of users.) Something else that's odd is that it happens with this, but not with the OTA. Even more strange is that it happens with that other "stock kitkat" firmware, as that essentially is the OTA with zero changes - it's even using the OTA provided bootloader and kernel.
I'm not really sure how to guide you on troubleshooting this. Anything I might suggest would take a few days of reverting and flashing various things, and I somehow doubt you'd want to spend the rest of your life doing random experiments for me. Perhaps you should try that poweruser firmware with things added one at a time - as you suggested.
Take care

[General] Lollipop Information Thread S4

General Lollipop Information Thread​
Since many users asking the same questions over and over again i'm going to start with many "basics" answers for you
Why? because you guys won't use the search button :silly:
Can i revert back to kitkat safely?
Yes And No, If you have upgraded the bootloader.
If you have upgraded with Bootloader you might have some IMEI issues, And afaik there is none that has fixed this. Thus who hasn't updated the booloader can still revert back.
I got no baseband or WIFI
Go to More > About Device
Scroll down until you see baseband. if you don't have HOA7 in the end that means you're wifi won't work with stock kernel
Make sure that you always read the OP and if OP hasn't stated it, you need to update your modem and NON-HLOS.bin
Make sure to uncheck auto reboot before flashing!
Battery life is terrible
Yeah ofc you haven't had the rom for more than x days so it hasn't been fully set.
Can i use CF-Auto Root
NO! People who used this also flashed update-su in recovery, however flashing CF-Auto root isn't needed and it will not work due to old binaries.
How can i root?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/guide-t3018625
Why does X And Y FC
because you didn't provide logcat.
Why does it takes 2x minutes for it to boot first time?
because samsung made some changes which i can't tell, i've never seen such a slow upgrading screen on lollipop neither on stock versions.

[BS_FREE_Lollipop_5.0_Rom_BOK3_Based]

This is a modified version of @jrkruse stock BOK3 deodexed ROM with all(or most) of the stock BS removed.
This BS_free ROM does not have two different versions like his previous build. I left only the Samsung apps needed for UPSM and HD calling to work.
INSTRUCTIONS:
I've included the links needed if you want to use xposed and Viper4Android. If you chose not to use these features, then skip them in the flashing process.
I personally prefer using safestrap when clean flashing a ROM, but you can use flashfire if you must.
1) WIPE EVERYTHING!
2) Flash No_BS ROM
3) Flash Extra toggles
4) Flash No_Bootloader_Rooting_Tools_For_S5_Lollipop_V3.zip
5) Flash xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-snapdragon.zip
6) Flash Viper Policy
7) Flash Viper4Android
8) Flash BOK3 Firmware without bootloader
9) After first boot, open up Viper4Android and install the driver. Note: Sometimes it takes 2-3 times before the driver will install.
I have confirmed that @jrkruse 5-way reboot with Safestrap works on this ROM!!! If you want to use it, add it to the end of the flashing list. 5Way_Safestrap_Reboot_PM. As a side note, if you use 4-way reboot in Wanam Xposed, then that feature needs to be disabled for 5-way reboot to work.
The ROM should boot in about 8 minutes. The music app will force close everytime the device reboots, but it does work normally.
Forgive my lack of knowing how to make a build thread, since this is my first one, so I'm still learning lol.
NO_BS_BOK3_ROM_DEODEXED.zip
Update: NO_BS_BOK3_ROM_DEODEXED_V2 is now available. The flashing process is the same. I encountered an intermittent bug with SuperSU beta with some apps. I downgraded to the latest stable SuperSU with the latest app. I updated all other apps and got rid of the bright/ugly Verizon boot animation. The music app has not force closed since I started using this version.
Update: NO_BS_BOK3_ROM_DEODEXED_V3.zip is now available. The flashing process is the same. I updated busybox and removed SBrowser. I also implemented the signature verification fix by @jrkruse, along with default animation scales set to 0.5x.
Update: NO_BS_BOK3_ROM_DEODEXED_V4 is now available. The flashing process is the same. I updated all apps, except for YouTube(xposed purposes). I added the missing VPN apk as well. Let me know if there is any other issues with VPN related settings.
Update: NO_BS_BOK3_ROM_DEODEXED_V5 is now available. The flashing process is the same. I updated all apps. I added the headphone app notification, voicenote, and SPrintSpooler. I don't use voicenote or SPrint, so let me know if there are any issues with these apps.
Note: Don't pay attention to the 1- prefix in front of some of the ROM versions. I prefix all my flashables in my ROM folder with a 1-, 2-, 3-, ect, so that I have them all in order when I flash them instead of having to remember the order every time lol. I forgot to remove those prefixes when I uploaded the ROMs.

I am looking forward in seeing how this Rom is doing.

First and last will do just fine.

Works like a charm! Just wish someone could get Quick Glance working. I've seen it work in MOAR, but the 3minit mod that's included is a complete turnoff for me.

Do you mind elaborating on what Quick Glance is? Are you referring to where you wave your hand and it wakes up the display to show notifications?

That's the one.

I've used this in the past and I wasn't a big fan, but I didn't spend a lot of time trying to get it properly configured. I only tried it to see what it did. I personally don't like motion features.

do i need to do a clean install or just flash over @jrkruse work that i am currently using?
[VZW_Stock Based TW Rom][5.0 Lollipop BOK3 Build Deodexed] by @jrkruse ?

I dirty flashed this over his stock BOK3 and it worked, so you should be good.

I actually tried that already. It's honestly not great. Oh well. Maybe if I could figure out a way to strip 3minit...
I fell in love with motion features when someone stole my moto g and I had to pick up a Lumia 640. Great phone, but not an android

I'm on BS_FREE_BOG5_GOOGLE_V2_Deodexed and just updated with @jkruse New Root Tools For S5 Lollipop V6. Already enabled Lollipop Safestrap Recovery again and Flashed Most Current OG5 Firmware_No_Bootloader and current OG5_Kernel. Can I just use that and wipe everything flash this aside from 3Minit Battery without losing Root?

Just to be clear, are you asking if you can run this on BOG5 firmware?

No, I mean using the V6 Root Tools instead of the V3 as indicated in your directions...
Also, I'm hoping that with a new install I will regain ability to work with Accessibility Options in Settings.
Idk if it makes a difference but I have Original GS5 Rooted, never taken OTA, always ONLY used XDA sources for ROM/Firmware/Kernels.

My rooting tools has the newest firmware, I just forgot to change the version number at the end, but it does say no bootloader.
I wish you luck on the accessibility apps. I never use them, so I don't specifically look for them to work.

Version 2 is now available in the OP.

Universal BS ROM
i would like to know if this BS rom is able to be used on any S5 Carriers or would you consider it in the near future making this a universal rom for other carriers to please. my wife is a T-mobile person and she love the work that you have done here. and is asking me to ask this question. i thank you in advance for your reply.:good:

Forgive my lack of knowing how to make a build thread, since this is my first one, so I'm still learning lol.
Update: NO_BS_BOK3_ROM_DEODEXED_V2 is now available. The flashing process is the same. I encountered an intermittent bug with SuperSU beta with some apps. I downgraded to the latest stable SuperSU with the latest app. I updated all other apps and got rid of the bright/ugly Verizon boot animation. The music app has not force closed since I started using this version.[/QUOTE]
How did you remove the verizon boot animation? id rather not flash this again cause i just got my stuff all installed.

I Flashed it last night with @jkruse's No Bootloader V6 Tools and it worked just fine. I also, noticed that my Accessibility Settings works now and a couple other things were fixed as well. I did have a hard time Restoring Poweramp Music Player - I had to reinstall from Play Store but otherwise seems to be working great!

Working on a Root Tool for S7/Edge T-Mobile that fixes lag, overheat etc! (OnionRoot)

So I rooted my S7 edge tmobile multiple times on 6.0.1 and did lots of testing to push the device to its limits. I soon found out that the device lags like aids when you reboot when you have it rooted. So I'm pretty close to finishing a tool that fixes all those problems. ESPECIALLY when you reboot and the CPU governor switches to performance for no reason.
Have any suggestions on what to add to the tool before release let me know! Also when you are rooting it with my tool, it will install an apk called OnionRoot. This might be added or removed from the root tool idea. Its intent is to fix lag performance and overheating. This may just be a better way of rooting your S7 without lag and what not.
Also if you are experincing any problems I didn't list when you root with the current way by chainfire, let me know to try to fix it before release.

Awesome patiently waiting

Good ish OP. Cant wait to try it out when it's finished. If you can, try to set it so we can update supersu and its binaries.

Fix the ENGBOOT so that the issues don't exist

The main purpose of your solution is to fix the lag and sluggishness we experience when we use the engineering bootloader to root. If your solution makes it so that we don't have to fiddle around using any other third-party apps and have our phones run fast from the get-go, then by all means please release it ASAP! Any other enhancements can be added in future updates.

Pretty close to finish the basics. Its a tethered root for performance fix but will be untethered before release very close to finishing. I want to make the device run lag free. Thats the goal of this modded root tool.

I rooted my s7 edge many times and the one issue I always had after a few weeks of being rooted was IMS service issue even with the fixes it would still come up which then I had to turn off volte to make calls. If you can get that fixed it would be great. This was always the deal breaker that made me go back to stock.

I've never had a problem with the IMS service. What exactly happens? Can you explain? Also you're on T-mobile S7/Edge? What processor and android OS ver?

Hurry up man! Lol jk

So I'm guessing this is basically chainfire's ENGBOOT method with fixes already built in? Would definitely be a nice thing to have, but an unlocked bootloader would still be endgame for us. Have you considered Xposed with this? Xposed makes the phones lag a lot worse than with just root.

T-Mobile s7 edge android 6.0.1. I would set up device as soon as root. All the available fixes and Would work fine for many weeks but then all of a sudden IMS has stopped and could not make or receive calls on volte. Would only work with volte off. Happened 4 different times so I stuck to stock. Now on final beta

Have you tried to restore to default settings with recovery AND flash AP, BL, CP, and CSC with odin? That should fix it. Maybe try OnionRoot, I dont know how you're rooting your device this might be a fix. I've never had that problem come across, I have the same exactly device.

Try titanium back up and freeze ims service. I don't think that might help but it's worth a shot

No fixes in ENGBOOT yet, BUT there are solutions I am working on right now. I know the problem lies in ENGBOOT.tar. Right now the OnionRoot app fixes the governor on start up after a complete boot up sequence.

Its released for testers now. OnionRoot early release for testers

Since Android 8.0 its lagging

Hey guys. Two days before i updated my phone manually via ODIN on a german version G930FDBT2ERG2_DBT.
So i just let Google and Samsung restore all my stuff. Then i installed TWRP and root via the no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip and magisk v16.0.
After that i installed XPosed via the XPosed Installer app. I think since i did that or maybe before, every app needs hours to start and lags.
e.g. opening of Snapchat. Like it's closing so hard in background, that all services need to restart.
Instagram and OneDrive are shown many time as stopped working and i don't know why. Maybe Instagram caused by XInsta?
Okay i recognized OneDrive isn't even working anymore. Was already on Android 7 a problem. Does not seem to be compatible to something else.
You have any ideas or need any information? Let me know

try a factory reset. Personally, I use a modified stock rom (light rom) and it is very stale and very fast.

Antutu Benchmark gives me 164336 points, so it seems literally to be normally, but i know all loading times of Snapchat and Instagram and so on are so much longer.
I will try to flash it again and to start clean. Just the copying of the WhatsApp folder needs so much time.

So I'm asking again. Nobody else got problems? I still dont get the data mount error fixed, because when I install Magisk it's broke again and my whole phone seems to lag. I dont know if it's because of my Xposed modules or Magisk modules. But for example with the update everythings goes slower even if Antutu says something else. Snapchat needs years to start. Is it cause of dual messenger? But I don't think so. Or when i'm in the car and using Google Maps and Poweramp and tapping skip on my car radio for skipping in bluetooth there is a delay of 20 seconds sometimes so wtf.
Any speedups for S7 or Android 8 on S7???

Try an other rom ( official or custom ), m'y S7 exynos is smooth and stable.
For data partition, dis you flashed Tgp kernel ?
You Can finde a custom recovery in Tgp kernel thread, it fix that issue.
You need to download flashify from play store to flash the custom recovery.

Tgp kernel gives a good battery life ans smooth UI.
If you didn't flashed a kernel, you need to wipe data partition by writing ''yes''
And you will Lost all you data, so you need to save you data on external storage, hard Drive or computer.

Works it without problems? Bro do i just need the kernel or also like I found out this THE GALAXY PROJECT ROM ? It looks like TouchWiz ha?

If on stock then resources being consumed with bloat. If issues began around installation of xposed wouldn't it make sense to uninstall modules and xposed and see if improved over the next day? Restoring apps and data and rooting and moding is a lot of stress on device all at once, then it gets so warm it starts to go glitch. I've been there too. Best thing is to let it sit 30-60 min after set up finishes to cool off. Reboot too once restored data completes.
Almost makes me miss the rip out and replace with cool fully charged battery days of my S4 [emoji91]
