Hello All,
Well Ive had my head buried in the xda forums for about a week and a half, two weeks now so I decided to post my issue hoping someone could advise me, I rooted my phone LG G2 D80220c-HKG-XXX, kitkat 4.4.2, Ive tried flashing a couple different roms but it would not take, ( I am sure its rooted ) and the last one cm12 I had to abort and at that point I decided I would just go back to stock and unroot, well to my great pleasure (lol) the ota for lollipops push came to my phone and guess what!!! I left it with my dad, and not knowing what it was excepted it thinking it was a app update of some kind, no problem, it was stuck in cwm recovery loop, after researching the forum I used Minimal ADB and Fastboot from 'shimp208' and ADB shell code to boot from 'thecubed'' post [fix] Installed TWRP and now you're stuck OTA, To shorten this long story, Im operating on basic os 4.4.2 now and discovered that my imei # is that of a D800 but my build number is KOT49I.D80220c, baseband version is M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190084 and of course the software is in the above text, so now I have no clue what firmware to use to go back to stock, I'm thinking D800 but I dont no where or even if what I need exists, Ive searched where, does anyone have any ideas, thanks for reading and for any help.

Need Help rooting Rogers Dell Streak 5 Build 14896 BB GAUSB1A133932
Hi All
Great Forum.
Having similar issues to the original poster...
I have today received a new Dell Streak 5 from Dell, performed carrier unlock and am now ready to root and hopefully flash to a custom ROM.
Have read many posts here and searched extensively for a firm answer.... seems there are several methods to root and flash
Definitively.... Which is the best method to:
1) Root this device
2) Flash to Custom Gingerbread ROM
Hello, so I am having a bit of a crisis. LEt me start by giving a brief description of what has been done to the phone...
LG G2 ATT (d800) running 4.4.2 OTA.
Was rooted AFTER the OTA update.
I tried to install a custom recovery first by using ROM Manager to install from the phone itself. The stock recovery was intact as of this point, as ROM manager just flat didn't work. My next move was to follow the thread found here...http://theunlockr.com/2013/11/03/flash-custom-recovery-lg-g2-versions-video/
That is were I started seeing issues. The phone no longer was able to boot into recovery at all. I received the "secure boot error". So I took another approach.
I followed the post found here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
This is where I am now. The phone is stuck on the LG boot screen. I suspect my problem began when I used the files found on that post for the d802 instead of my d800. However, ubuntu will not recognize my phone now. Download mode will not help, it appears.
I think the solution may lie in the post found here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
The issue I am seeing with this is that I cannot see the COM ports within device manager to set the correct port. I will post in that thread as well, just to reach as many people as I possibly can.
WHAT DO I DO.
Thank you for your future help.
Hi everyone!
Terribly sorry this is my first post here and im looking for something, been reading through the site for the past few months but never registered.
I recently bought a HTC One M7, updated to 4.4.2 but rooted so i cannot get OEM updates.
It has ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.8 istalled, busybox and SuperSu.
Im trying to unroot it and get it back to factory standard, its not for the warranty that really doesnt matter to me.
I just need some expert guidance if possible and just to be pointed in the right direction would be more then enough as there is so much information to try and retain lol.
I have been browsing through threads but im terrified i end up doing something wrong and bricking my phone.
Im living in Ireland and my phone was supplied by an operator called 'Meteor' so im a bit confused as to what method to take and where to get the exact oem stock software that will enable me to get back and let me update past 4.4.2
If anyone could link me a few threads or help in any way that would point me in the guaranteed right direction would be great, and also any information where i could get the exact file file i need to flash to get it back to stock, i understand the radio etc needs to correspond with my network operator.
Many thanks in advance for this one
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. I'd suggest you take a look at this thread:
[GUIDE] How to Return to 100% Stock
No response in two days, thread closed.
After I had downloaded the 5.0.2 lolipop update for my sprint G2, I quickly began to hate it. battery died too fast, seemed slower, didn't like the look or really any thing on it. As a result i decided to root my phone and try to get back to android kit kat. After several hours of reading, and many trials and errors (most methods didn't work) I got it rooted through kingroot, as well implemented 2.8.6.1 TWRP recovery with autorec. After, I downloaded the cm11 rom and attempted to install it through the recovery (just as every single tutorial on the internet had done it) and all i got was. "error executing updater binary in zip." even after downloading other roms from different developers, none worked, and all got the same error. (and yes, I made sure all of the roms were compatible for my G2)
the only one that did work was cloudyg2, although I couldn't enable data even after spending 3 hours applying patches and trying other fixes. then I tried to install another TWRP version, but none will work, and subsequently end up giving me an error when I try to boot into recovery.
Overall, I would just like to know, what the heck is up with my phone, and why is nothing working, and maybe point me to a solution to reunite me with my beloved kit kat. doing this Would make me a very very happy android noob.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I see you've asked this in a couple of places. But the best place is in your device's specific forum here,http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g2. I'm going to ask a moderator to move your question to here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g2/help. Also, in the future, only ask your question once per XDA rules. It gets really confusing if you ask in multiple places.
Thread closed.
Hello everyone and thanks for taking the time to read this and help me out.
I had rooted my LG G2 D801 using a method which I can no longer seem to find. Let alone remember what it even was.
After attempting to revert from Lollipop to Kit Kat in order to flash a custom ROM(after countless hours of trying to figure out a way) , I hard Bricked my phone.
Then(after countless more hours of trying to figure out how to fix), I somehow managed to bring my G2 back to life.
Now, I'm unable to boot into any recovery whatsoever. Download mode works, however my computer states that no Serial Port Service is running on the phone. I happened to stumble across Auto-Rec Lollipop which states that it is currently installed. Although I can't seem to find it. Not sure if that's relevant or not but there you have it.
I'm not sure what's wrong, just looking for some guidance so I can maybe attempt rooting and /or flashing a custom ROM again.
Any help would be appreciated.
