hi guys,
It's been a great time in the OneX forum - I still remember when I stayed up all night in excitement when the Bootloader was unlocked on the AT&T version !
I just got myself a LG G2 - which is suprisingly cheap (as new for 200 USD) and powerful for its size... and I am drooling over the 3000 mah battery. I thought of getting the OPO, as a lot of ex-Evita owners did, but things are really murky in the OPO territory with the whole CM incident. Also, it's way too big for me and does not have a tenth of the accessories that the LG G2 has.
I'm still holding on to my Evita - so I'll see you guys from time to time !
i got the LG G2 but im back on the evita. the evita is so much easier to modify. also with the at&t version the d800, uses .tot files instead of .kdz to go back to stock which has to be leaked instead of direct dl from lg which makes the firmware version old then u have to ota back up to latest. i should of gone with the htc one m7 or m8.
the plus side is if u dont need the current firmware images u can root and flash recovery all on the phone. i find the lg ui to be the only stock ui i can stand without having to go aosp as a must.
i tested the moto x and the nexus 6 which are nice but pricey right now. i have been waiting for moto to come out with a good android device on at&t since motorola got me started phone modding first with the triplets series v600 then at&t first android phone the moto backflip motus.
i will eventually pull out the lg g2 d800 again but for now the evita has given me new appreciation.

As compared to the Evita, the LG G2 is super moddable . Check out my story here . In fact I love the fact that I am able to hack the Lg G2 to the extent I am. You are incorrect in the TOT vs KDZ statement - the TOT is only needed for a particular flash method using LG Flash tool. However, the flash method I used to recover from my hardbricked phone only ever needed KDZ.
The M7 and M8 are the world's most unrepairable phones (here ) - one of the biggest reason that I did not go with them. As on today, the most hackable phones are the LG and the Moto.
If you want a brilliant stock experience on the G2, then I suggest Cloudy G3 which leverages the G3 UI (which is quite good). We are getting official Lollipop in Feb, so that should be pretty cool as well !

I currently have the LG Vortex, Android 2.2, and it seems as though Verizon has an update out -$Link to verizon forums - PM me for link& - According to them i need to come here. The update is fairly big, involves an OS update as well as other enhancements. But when i attempt to run the update it fails, and i cant help but think its because of my rooted phone (z4). Am i just S.O.L for the update or can i do it another way?
If you rooted and then removed stock apps, you are SOL for the OTA. To get the OTA, the update program looks to match to the original stock apps (City ID, VZ Navigator, etc) If you removed any stock apps, the update will fail.
Try heading over to the Vortex forum and look through the ROMs there. Chances are there is a CWM flashable zip version of it that will let you get past this problem.
Good luck.
Im not seeing a forum specificaly for the LG vortex, im assuming i need to get into one of the optimus forums?

Hi everyone
I would like to know if is that possible to install the D802's firmware on D800??
I have the same exact question. If anyone finds out please message me and or let me know.
No
No, I was scammed into buying an at&t d800 which had a d802 back cover and box, etc.
When I flashed the d802 kdz I got random touches and reboots.
Used the d800 tot method and now the phone is fine.
Hope this helps
I don<t think this is possible, my friend had the same question but he was told it was not possible ..
Good luck anyways
It works
Hy!I have flashed my D800 with a D802 ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678906 and I haven´t got any problems.But I see a lot of people who bricked their devices by trying this,I think that mine was a D802 flashed with a D800 ROM or I think it works only on unlocked 32GB devices because all the people that I have seen bricking their G2´s haved 16GB models,now flash tools shows my G2 as D802 (I have the 32GB model).I think that isn´t a problem since the AT&T D800 is identical with the D802 in terms hardware and spare parts (I changed my broken lcd and touchscreen module with D802´s and works flawelesly).So...who wants to asume the risk of flashing an international ROM could give it a try.Good Luck!
Honestly, I think the 1st question that should be asked and answered here is, is the hardware for the D800 and the D802 the same or are there any differences between the two. Roms are modeled off the phones stock Rom. So if you flash a Rom for one phone to a different phone and it works flawlessly, then chances are there are no hardware differences in the two variations of the phone. But if you do run into problems, like what sjk971005 had, then chances are there are in fact differences in hardware between the two variations.
It all really depends what you are trying to do. If you are trying to flash custom roms then I don't suggest it. I know that someone posted that you can do it but idk about that. Y would u want to flash a D802 version when you can easily get one specifically for that D800? You are probably just setting yourself up for more headaches in the future, i don't personally recommend it.

My Friend iam using LG G2 d800 32gb and its on 4.4.2 kitkat D80020c
can u please guid me how do i flash it with D80220c firmware.
Iam sick and tired of AT&T
Iam having the problems in contacts and messeging. the phone hangs and lags when using contact and sms.
To those that quoted me:
I ended up having the at&t software installed but debloated by myself until I decided to use Cloudy G2. Even the person quoted above says he installed a ROM. I recommend you guys read through the guides and flash a ROM from the G2 android development section such as Cloudyfa's or Abdulrahamamir's that is made to be compatible for all/most models. You will get the same experience as having the D802 and have no at&t bloatware.
Cheers
Hi, I bought last month a LG G3 D850 from AT&T, I'm from Argentina.
I must say that I'm very disappointed about this phone by the way, the extraction of the FM chip is really anoying.
But I have it, and for a year maybe I must use it.
The problem is that AT&T only update Android if you have a SIM Card from AT&T, and in Argentina AT&T doesn't exist.
I rooted the phone and try Cyanogem (the graphics are really poor and the performance is poorer) and Cloudy G3 (that has A LOT of bugs and problems with the system).
So I ask you, if you can help me, the official AT&T Room of Lollipop. I prefer a lot of AT&T programs (that can be uninstalled) that have a rom that crash every 5 minutes.
I apreciate your help a lot.

You can follow my LG G3 back to stock guide and use the tot method. But there's no lollipop. You'd be stuck with kitkat, as OTA doesn't work. There's no official D850 lollipop tot and probably never will be. You'd have to flash KitKat. And hope OTA might some how work or try manually downloading the OTA after rooting the fresh install of kitkat.

That's a shame.
But anyway, it's secure to come back to kitkat? Or there's a chance of broke the phone without a chance of recoverying it?
Can you put the link of the guide?
Thank you!

There will always be a way. . Just like ever since it first came out. It's just very doubtful that a stock lollipop will come out.
It's not easy to link when mobile but here you go. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53452990
Also just googling LG G3 back to stock that guide is the first one.

If you are OK with keeping root and TWRP, there are in fact stock ATT lollipop roms that you can use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-lg-d850-20f-lollipop-5-0-1-extras-t3052041 - Stock ATT 5.0.1 ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-20f-stock-rom-debloated-t3059610 - Same stock ATT 5.0.1 ROM but with most ATT apps removed
Thank you very much!!!!!
Howdy folks,
I was going to buy a new ATT LG G3 (D850) to replace an aging Galaxy S3. At $250 it seems a good deal.
Then I read the bad news about how lollipop 5.0 push screwed things up? Should I stay away from this due to Lollipop 5.0 issues?
[I generally don't put custom roms due to lack of time, but if there is one that's bug free/stable I can consider that]
Thanks
I would recommend go for newer phone than older model. Try LG G4 or Samsung phone as your new phone.
As far as lollipop issues in LG G3, I didn't find any issue in my phone, I was very much happy.
Hope this helps.
I just got a new g3 from someone off CL. Definitely worth it. Took me 5 mins to root and put resurrection mm on here. Phone flies and no major bugs that hinder me from loving this phone
While I would recommend a new model (for LG the G4 or V10), the G3 is not a bad model for $250, especially if new. In regards to Lollipop, there are some minor bugs, but no more than I have seen on any other model in my opinion. I have not really noticed any bugs
It depends on what you want to do with your phone. What I mean by that is so you want custom roms? Or at least want to root and install a custom recovery?
Idk about ATT but I'm on Verizon and a lot of there phones have locked bootloader or no way to loki hack and install a custom recovery so that's one reason I still have my g3 after a little over a year and have not bought a g4 [emoji14]
So I say if that's what you want do some research and see what ATT phones can do that.
Also would be using a contract update or just buying it straight out, if it's a contract try to get something newer if you using a contract not the g3 is a great choice I'm running cm 13 and love my g3

What method did you use for rooting still looking. Would like a custom rom on my phone.

Well I have had my verizon G3 since August of 2014 so it's been rooted ever since I got it . But from what I have seen on forms. You should be able to downgrade the software from the latest to older ones then root and install twrp. Unless the latest update blocks that

Hy, just wondering if there's anything for the LG stylo 2, meaning about recovery ,root, and hopefully roms?. Thanks

Boost is billing the neutered version of the LG G Stylo as the Stylo 2. And if you have already updated to 6.0 there is no current way to root or rollback to 5.1.1.

I'm currently living in México. It just came out last weekend. It came already with M 6.0.1. I'm guessing that I will have to wait for a while. Thanks for getting back to me.

Theres hardly any ROMs for the original Stylo so who knows. Seems we got left behind.

I think Nemo is confused. As was said earlier there Stylo 2 just came out. It came with 6.0.1 The G Stylo came with 5.1.1 and could be up or down graded as you saw fit and if you were willing to do the work of restoring kHz's etc.
These value phones seem to get left behind quite a lot. I think the G Stylo only had ...2 custom roms? Both Lollipop. When the 2 came out I jumped on it. This far nothing really can be done to it. People are working on root, and I've been doing my own searching for it. It looks to be a sleight ways away tho. Just be patient and enjoy the phone as it it. It's still pretty good

Actually I am not. Now there is a real Stylo 2 but Boost marketed a cut down version of the Stylo with 1gig of Ram and an 8gig rom as the Stylo 2 at the time of the previous post. And once you had 6.0 on it any tampering beyond basic file maintenance popped some form of tamper seal that made your phone brick with a 1003 error. So no you could not roll back because Boost never released a kdz and with a tamper proof bootloader we could not generate one. The T-Mobile and Metro version could be unlocked, rooted, and romed. That one had 2 gigs of ram and a 16gig rom. So no not confused you are just late to the party. (Also I owned the phone op and I were speaking of, hard to be 'confused' when starin at it.') The one you are speaking of was just released this month to the prepaid markets.
Sad to read no rom for the LG stylo 2
yup, it's 2017 and still literally nothing. guess this phone is "left out" and no one seems to have this phone to experiment on it and root it.
