Looking for a few clarifications
lan_baba said:
This is exactly what I'm looking for. But as a newbie here, a few questions before I "brick" it:
Currently I'm on 4.2.2, do I need to upgrade to KitKat before flash?
Do I need to have the phone rooted first?
Do I need to install the recovery first? TWRP or Clockmod?
Do I need to have the phone unlocked first?
Sorry, too many questions.

Found the thread with the stock T-mobile 4.4.2 ROM. I'm on AT&T D800 at 4.2.2. The first question was relevant but I didn't see any answer. I'm already rooted, installed TWRP, and have the sim unlocked.
Just looking to transform my d800 into a true T-mobile phone. I'd like the option for WiFi calling. Not sure if any radio basebands or kernels need to be upgraded first tho.
Thanks for the patience!
ok, what gives?
I downloaded both of the files that you provided links to. They are both *.zip.apk files. I wiped all the partitions that you required, I wen to install (using TWRP) and the *.zip.apk files cannot be seen. I renamed them both to *.zip files (the ROM having a space in it that failed at first). Now, when I try to install (aka Flash) the ROM, I get a failure.
What am I missing here?
EDIT:
I apologize for the shortness exhibited here. When I downloaded earlier, it was over the web browser on the phone, Chrome I believe. It appears that something happened while downloading and it appended *apk to the end. Luckily, I had make a backup, I restored that backup and re-downloaded over my laptop. The downloads were *zip files (no *.zip.apk) and I managed to copy them over to the Internal Storage just fine. I've rebooted to TWRP, done the FULL wipe and Factory Reset (just to be safe) and now am flashing the ROM.
Goes to show how important making the backup first really is!
I'll post back with results after a few days of testing. Thank you!
Do you think this will work on a phone on Metro PCS/T-mobile network?
I have the AT&T LG G2 running with a metro pcs SIM card. APN settings are exactly the same as T-Mobile because its on the t-mobile network. Do you think think this would work for me?
Tmobile Rom for at & t G2 Download
Is there anyway i can get this rom without downloading from 4shared? It seems my computer doesn't like that site. If anyone has the rom and can email it to me i would very much appreciate it., or if there is another site that is working just let me know and ill give it a try.
Should I avoid installing the OTA update from T-mobile?
I installed the T-Mobile ROM on my AT&T G2 last week. This week I've got a notification about a system update from T-Mobile. Can I install it or might it be incompatible with my phone.
Thanks.
I also have the T-Mo rom On my D800 & received the OTA update. Will it brick my phone if i install?

Anyone having a GPS issue?
I have been using this solution to use T-mobile WiFi Calling option with my LG D800 for about 2 months now.
Everything works fine except occasional random reboots which I can tolerate, but I am having a trouble with GPS.
When I use Google Maps, it takes at least 5 mins to lock up the GPS signal if ever.
Does anyone have the same issue or know how to improve this?
I tried GPS app in Play Store to update aGPS, but it didn't help much.
When I reboot, it helps a bit to make the GPS work better.
I am wondering if this is because of some incompatibility of the ROM and the phone, or it is just the phone.
Also, as the previous posting asked, I also wonder if it is OK to use the most up-to-date T-mobile ROM.
I would like to see if it helps resolving my GPS issue. (IF I can install it using the same method shown here)
I installed the update and it seems fine. I texted and made a call.

I just followed the directions of the update. It installed and rebooted. It booted to TWPR, which momentarily concerned me, but I just selected reboot from the TWRP menu and the phone booted like normal. I haven't noticed any problems yet.

how to get OTA for wifi texting?
I would like to know what was done to install the update as well. I'm running TWRP and I found the image file downloaded to the /cache partition (most OTA's do that). When I boot into TWRP and try to install it, the installation/flash fails due to the fact that it doesn't recognize the phone as a lg g2. I assumed that this ROM didn't update a portion of some file that this OTA checks for before installing.
You are the first one that I know of that has been able to successfully install.
EDIT: Looking back at what the following two have done, accepting and installing and then rebooting to TWRP followed by an additional reboot at the TWRP prompt, I do not believe that has successfully installed the software. If you go to your software version does it end in 'e' or 'g'? If the new software is installed, it will end in 'g' as that version is 2 minor revs higher than what was modded for our AT&T LG G2 D800 series by the OP to this thread.
Can't post to Discussion, anyone get the OTA to install on their D800?
You can see in my last post, when I go to install the OTA from t-mobile, the checker doesn't think it's a LG G2 phone, so it fails to install.
custom dll for goingback to d800 stock
please provide custom dll file for going back to stock D800 rom, as when I use lg flash tool to go to stock d800 rom it identifies my phone as d801 and does not allow me to flash the stock rom.
why have a Q&A section if it isn't going to be monitored?
Just wondering how Questions are supposed to get answered if no one monitors this part of the forum?
[ROM] T-Mobile 4.4.2 Stock D80120e (Wi-Fi Calling)
I am trying to install a t mobile rom on my att LG G2 so I can enjoy some of the T mobile features. I found your thread on google and try to follow your instruction to complete the process. I am an inexperience user when it comes to smart phones, so my attempt was unsuccessful. I did factory reset the phone which supposedly did a full wipe. Then I opened a browser to download the stock t mobile rom to my phone, but couldn't download it. I am not sure what to do. Can you help?
MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!!!
1. Full wipe (Wipe cache, data, system, dalvik cache)
2. Flash Stock T-Mobile ROM
3. Flash KitKat BaseBand
4. Reboot
5. Enjoy.
Love this ROM, LTE Stays On, WIFI Calling uses Minutes
I agree it would be nice to see the newly released stock 5.0 for the T-Mobile G2 also. This ROM has worked well for me. Been using the T-Mobile 5GB 100 minute $30 plan. When on the original AT&T Rom, after a month on the plan, the data rolled back from LTE to 4G. On this ROM LTE is turned all the time! The WIFI calling works great, however, minutes from the plan are used, so I turned off wifi calling.
Thank You Novembre5 for this Great ROM !
I realize this is not the place for this but is there a similar rom for the G3

"Unfortunately net.aetherpal.device has stopped"
Whenever I receive a text message I get a message that says "Unfortunately net.aetherpal.device has stopped" any idea how to fix this?
just to clarify you just flashed the .zip files via TWRP and it worked? I have tried but it just keeps rebooting into recovery

PMA Charging
Hi was hoping that this fixed the wireless charging for me. The aosp lollipop roms work with it still but not the stock ones. Go figure. Any idea what the issue is?
So far so good , but I'm still have a problem with Good for Enterprise (gfe).
The program closes, without a crash warning or typical force close.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
done on my at&t d850 4.4.210c bumped and rooted. It's all OK ! Thank you !
Battery & performance
For those wondering what to expect in terms of battery and performance. Awesome Running so far! Had to disable lgsmartcover and weather. But got xposed running and all my favorites.
Anyone else getting random reboots?
Is the flashable zip uploaded anywhere else? My downloads have been stopping half way through or cannot open zip for the past 4hrs.
I have no reboots at all. Only downside is that email program Good does not seem to work.
I finally got gfe (Good for enterprise to work) but I had to unroot.
Dirty flashed from 10d and working great. I'm tempted to install Xposed, but only use a few options and don't want anything not working. So I'm wondering if anybody has non-xposed file edit solutions (without the need for extra apps)...
1) change battery icon / circle battery
2) hold back to kill app
3) enable call recording
4) add screenshot, flashlight, 4-way reboot from power menu

Re: Stock LG D850 20F Lollipop 5.0.1
I wish to thank you for your help.
I bought my D850 G3 off of Swappa, & it arrived already updated to Lollipop. But not rooted.
I was going to try PurpleDrake, but found out it didn't work with Lollipop, so I searched around & found How to root LG G Flex 2, G2, G3 on Lollipop! by Max Lee on HighonAndroid.com. This was the first time I've had to use command line rooting, previously I've used Chainfire's Autoroot (who I haven't thanked enough) with Odin for Samsung phones. But this method didn't put a custom recovery, like TWRP, on my phone. So, I tried TWRP's app from Play store. Then Rashr, & Flashify, from Play store. They all claimed to flash TWRP, but didn't work. I didn't understand until I started Googling flashing TWRP on the D850 with Lollipop, & ran across your post. It worked the first time. I'm running a TWRP nandroid backup right now. I got kicked out of adb shell at least 3 or 4 times, I don't know if it was my phone or windows 7. I just went back into adb shell/ su, & pasted the next command directly from your post, thanx for the exact commands necessary. When I was finished, & kicked out of adb shell again, I left the phone alone for a few minutes before unplugging the usb cable, & rebooting a couple of times. When that worked ok, I booted into TWRP, & started my backup.
Thanx again,
Dave

I had been having relentless issues with the powermat disconnecting until I tried booting into safe mode (Hold down Power Off until it pops up as an option). I put it on the mat while it was booting up and it kept the connection even after the phone loaded up. I then turned the phone completely off and placed it back on the mat. It started up and has been working just as it did pre-Lollipop update. Since it is working on AOSP roms and not on Stock by default, maybe there is some driver or other issue that gets resolved after booting into safe mode. I did this 3 days ago and it has been working fine thus far.
Hope it helps.

Xposed has a couple of bad side effects at this point, so before doing anything you need to use Titanium or something similar to Freeze (this basically what the "helper" does):
LGSmartCover
Weather
Weather Theme
WeatherPlatform
Then you can install xposed as in the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
However, there is still one more bug to keep in mind: Xposed will crash the Tethering and Networks menu. There is no fix for that yet, but as a workaround you can download some apps from the play store (like Mobile Network Settings), to shortcut around the menu that force closes.

Great, thanks! Shortly after posting this, I actually tracked down the zip from the standard LG G3 forum and flashed that, which seems (so far) to have worked.
Do you, or anybody for that matter, know by chance any confirmed working xposed modules that work on the stock rom? I tried a couple lollipop-approved modules and so far nothing has worked. It's been a while since I've used xposed, but back when I did I think I only installed gravitybox.
I attached the .zip in case anybody else needs it. Just flash that after flashing the xposed .zip and then install the xposed installer apk

Hey guys i'm having the same problem as louveuass the only way to get this to work is going back to stock TOT and then root twrp and flash this? i'm coming from illusion and i just don't see navigation panel or notification, it's just wierd! i'll try again today and if not i'll go back to TOT.

So does this ROM do the "I'M FULLY CHARGED" battery notification thing?
Re: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/help/qa-d850-20f-stock-rom-debloated-t3069026/post60062058
So does this ROM do the "I'M FULLY CHARGED" battery notification thing? I switched to AOSP just to get away from that, but I prefer stock for the camera.
For those who don't know what I'm talking about, the original stock ROM turns on the screen and fires a notification when the battery is fully charged, so if you have your phone plugged in next to your bed, it'll turn on the screen and buzz every time it drops to 99% and then charges back to 100%, which means every couple minutes, all through the night. No notification setting fixes this, only putting the phone on silent works, and that solution doesn't work for me, nor do I want to mess around with Tasker. I also don't want to unplug my phone when it's charged and start the day with less than a full charge.
Thanks!
Just wanted to say thanks! I have been waiting for a cleaned version of stock Lollipop for the AT&T LG G3 for what feels like months now! I flashed this and the modem file after doing a backup and cleaning everything up first. So far it is working great!
Appreciate it!
So over night I have developed a problem, it's seemed to have added a +1 on front of my numbers, so I get texts from friends but when I reply it says invalid number, is there a setting for this?
Also can we use some super duper Kernels on this rom? Or because it's stock we can't change Kernel's?...

Unable to download any file
Hi,
I just bought this used LG G3 phone which has this image installed. It was an ATT phone but I am using it on T-mobile. Most of the things working except this one.
I am unable to download any file (pdf etc..) from any browser. Seems like download folder is locked somehow and I am unable to delete any files from there. I tried changing permission for download folder but that too failed. Screenshots are also not getting saved. Camera picture seems to be getting saved.
Please advice how to fix this issue.

Not sure but sounds like it may be an sdcard permissions issue. Take a look at the OP here and see if the fix suggested for sdcard permissions works.
Just to Clarify
I have the LG G3 D850 the ATT Model
So in order to install the new ROM:
1. I put the ROM.zip (1.1GB) and the Modem.zip on the SD Card
2. Also the Super SU on the SD Card
3. Boot the Phone on TWRP
4. Chosse install the three archives: ROM, Modem and SuperSU
5. After the reboot, clean the cache
Excuse me for ask, but I,m not a expertise in the matter.
Also I have more questions:
1. I already instal the lollipop from cyanogen but the phone doesnt work well. ¿There is a problem with that?
2. I must first back up the contacts, ¿Right?
3. I just need the 1.1GB ROM, ¿Right?
Thank you for response this questions.
Flashed all 3 files with a clean install. Only problem I've come across is my phone will no longer vibrate from a text or when I use my keyboard. AT&T LG G3 D850

This is a problem with most 5.1 roms. Mostly after using another audio app like hangouts phone,whatsapp phone,music players and video players. Driver is not released back too phone.Reboot is needed . On a good note, Paranoid Android 5.1.1 has just come out with an update and an audio patch that fixed mine. Hope this helps.
I don't get any signal
My phone after updating it to candy 5(5.1 Lollipop) I can't get any signal?
Please Help!
New to this
This is the best rom I have installed ever since fixing my bricked Skyrocket a couple weeks ago.
Latest Version 5/15:
After installing the latest update the data drops far less frequently... however it is still a good five times every twenty minutes or when I send two or more text messages. I tried rebooting, messing with wifi/airplane mode, removing excess APN's, and using Signal Boosters which are junk. Folders seem to be a bit different and overall rom is a bit more laggy compared to previous version. My recents menu did not work, holding the home button with no response, fixed by turning on OmniSwitch.
Installing SlipLP fixed the data, so I am confident you will figure it out for Candy! If only I digged the look of SlimLP.
Will report back next update, still learning how to Logcat... I will post if I figure it out tonight.
I am not getting any charging or heat issues like the poster above. I did not change to noop prior to writing this.
Found a PERMANENT signal fix!
Apparently this has something to do with the radio being flashed and 5.x.
Here is how you fix it, I have not had one drop in signal since my previous post!
(For AT&T, T-Mobile, possibly others)
1. Download the [UCMC1] I717 AT&T Radio
http://d-h.st/PKI
- official thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228292
2. Either Clean flash or Recover from a backup of Candy 5.x
3. Install the AT&T Radio
Signal drop is fixed, select your APN and enjoy!
I suggest this for those who are using AT&T Servers, T-Mobile, or etc. If not visit here and find your carrier radio... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785999
I hope this helps everybody! :good::fingers-crossed:

Thanks, yes the UCMC1 radio or newer is needed for this. It is one of the last versions available for the Skyrocket. My Slim threads have this but I didn't see that mentioned here, so I have updated the OP.

Everything is working on my Skyrocket SGH-I727R but when I want to install gapps from my recovery it says it successful but I can't find google play when I installed the zip. Do I need to use a different GAPPS file?

Make sure you are using an up-to-date version of GApps. Recommended is Slim's Zero GApps (~60MB), a link to which you can find in the OP.
Google Cards
The google now widget I can't find under the widgets tab is their anyway to retrieve it?
Minor Question
How would you update the 2.53 version to this one?

When you flash the ROM, either the GApps package you flash needs Google Now (might be Google Search, not sure), or you need to install it from the Play Store separately. Voice input on the AOSP/Google keyboards may be missing as well until you do.
I partitioned my Skyrocket to have a 6GB Data partition so the tiny GApps is fine and I can install pretty much all I want for apps. It's quite nice.

Wipe Dalvik and Cache in recovery
Make a nandroid backup
Flash the ROM
Flash either Slim Zero GApps or a very small base GApps package
Reboot
Have fun!
Flashing Potential Issue
I am currently Flashing the ROM using TWRP and everything seems good it's just that its stock on "Patching system unconditionally" It's been on that step for about ten minutes. I did the Cache and Dalvick Cache wipes. So I Don't know what I did wrong.

Then it sounds like there were core changes which may require a full wipe (/data or a factory reset).
I normally clean flash to test, so unless I've made a change that I know requires a full wipe, or coming from another version (5.0 vs. 5.1, etc.) I would suggest to try dirty first and see. If you get stuck, as you have, then I'd go clean.
Sorry for any inconvenience...

When I down graded bak to 2.5.3 It flashed perfectly. So do I just wait for the next update or is their a solution because none of the methods you mentioned to me are working. I backed up my data and did a full factory reset.

Have you wiped /system in the process?
Have you formatted your device with ODIN using a PIT file, or have you used any virtual partitioning?
Post your recovery log. You can export it from TWRP.

If root can even be obtained this might be an option, otherwise your probably out of luck
Sent from my Nexus 5
Root has been obtained @ShapesBlue
Nobody has created a ROM for i535PP users yet(the i535 roms run but no wifi/data). And you're correct about having to use safestrap to flash it.If you're comfortable with a bash terminal you can try using one of the various tools found around here to modify the stock rom. If you're not then I'll see what I can do this weekend and try to get something for us i535pp users (after a day or so of testing)

Ok, there wasn't really a need to mention me in this thread. Everytime someone does that I get an email. And just because root has been obtained doesn't mean you can flash roms via safestrap

Flashing via safestrap appears to work fine on my i535pp. The only issue I ran into was wifi not working with roms meant for the i535. And sorry for you having to receive an email for that.

I'm not sure what a bash terminal is unless it's the same thing as the terminal emulator. I tried using that rom that's called paulpizz or something like that. I used some other rom to. The paulpizz one always failed to install even after downloading it a third time. The other one i can't remember the name but it installed but wouldn't start at all. It would just go black and bootloop and goes into stock recovery for some reason. I came across the nf5 module when i found that paulpizz rom on the goo server they hosted it on. So i got the module and i figured if i were to flash the module over the i535 rom that it would fix the wifi an data problem but never got an answer because it always failed to start up properly and would just bootloop into stock recovery. Ugh Verizon is making things so difficult with modding lol. As of now I'm just using xposed to get at least some theming in and tweaks. I couldn't get any deodex program to work. Whenever i used the deodex files and pushed them to the system of apps and framework, it would restart and just stick on the Verizon logo. So i had to flash the firmware to fix the problem.
When i was on 4.3 with this phone safestrap worked and i got the wifi and data sim error. Now that i got it replaced I'm running the kernel of July 22 2014. Everyone was saying I'm out of luck but i came across kingroot and got the most recent version and it worked. I have root. Installed safestrap for 4.4 and it runs fine but can't get any custom roms to boot. I only managed to find one 4.4 touchwiz rom unfortunately

If you're going to try flashing an i535 rom and then the i535pp modules let me know how that goes, can't test as I won't be able to do anything till the weekend. If that's the case then there's no need for roms for the pre paid version. Cyanogenmod was also bootable but very buggy.

I'll let you know how it goes and thank you. How is it that you were able to boot CM? From my understanding being that the bootloader is locked and has Knox for extra security to make the unlocking like impossible. But a genius came up with safestrap so we are able to use some custom roms but the down side is that it has to be the same Android OS and has to be a touchwiz based rom. So how are you getting lucky with all this? I love CM and I'd pick CM over any custom rom any day but i gave up an lost hope of ever getting CM because of the locked bootloader

Safestrap 3.75 had support for AOSP roms (wifi/data didn't work for them either) and 4.0 dropped support for that (there is currently no point). Read the thread for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797314
Ok i wasn't using safestrap 4.0. I had 3.75 B05 which i thought was the latest version they had. I'm updated to 4.0 now and about to test the modules on the superlite rom
Update: i have tried the super lite rom using safestrap. The boot animation won't work during start up. When it gets to the welcome screen it freezes. It still does it even without applying the nf5 module. It freezes and will keep popping up that system isn't responding. System just keeps freezing and prompting me to wait or force close. So not sure why my s3 has a problem running it but yours don't

Did you wipe cache/data after installing? Other than that I can't think of anything that would cause that

Well no. The instructions just said to do a full wipe off everything then install and reboot so extra what i did. What version you running of the rom?

I'm running the stock prepaid rom, not superlightrom, sorry if there's any confusion there.
When I tried out superlightrom (quite some time ago) it appeared to work fine (excluding wifi/data and nagging about no SIM card being inserted, nothing like what you're describing) and I went back to stock.
Oh ok. Well it seems that the prepaid version or the s3 in general is dead. That's unfortunate
Hello, this is my first post on these forums, but I have used several threads found on here previously. A little background: I purchased my Moto G from Boost Mobile back in April of 2014, ran it for a month on the Boost network, then unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, and loaded the Verizon Android 4.3 US rom and ported it over to Page Plus, and I have been there ever since.
My question now is, I'd like to get a clean factory reset on it in hopes of restoring some performance. It lags from time to time and has developed some quirks over the year and a half. I know Android 4.3 is an old version, would I benefit from any newer ones? I've been having trouble finding the correct rom I should be using for my phone. The link I originally got the VZW 4.3 US Rom from is no longer working, and I'm not sure where else to look.
I've backed up my user apps+app data with Titanium Backup Pro, my WiFi passwords, SMS, and this time, remembered to transfer my pictures as well as the backup files themselves off my internal storage/SD card. I think I am ready to flash.
What options should I look into for a new start? TIA.
