Hello, i decided it was time to root my 16gb D802 G2. i am newly registered though i have been reading the forums regularly and even have stock rooted my phone because lg being lg. Despite that, i was at complete loss when i head down custom roms and i dont know where subforum ask about the "best" lp rom for my phone.
So i wonder if maybe you could point me to where i can find terminologies and in which subforum i should post my previous question.
Also as far as i know there is no way to brick your phone without a way to recover, still if there is an irrecoverable brick it would be nice to know more about it. Thx for your time

Well..
I would like to root my at&t lg g2 d80010q before I update and go to kitkat. I have looked around the xda site for ways to do it but, frankly, things are scattered and, its making it difficult for me to understand what to do.
Is there someone here who can guide me to a thread in which it will help me root the device and than retain the root through the update..
any advice will be appreciated..
thank you.

here you go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869 but I wil let you know if you root and update to kitkat you will lose any chance of recovery unless you follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672931
I recently bought a Samsung Multi Media dock that I finally got to work reliably. I'm not impressed with the experience so I want to flash my phone over to a custom rom so I can tweak settings (and recover from it if I screw it up). I used to have a custom rom on my last phone but since I had to replace it when Cricket nuked their CDMA network I'm stuck with a stock Samsung Galaxy S4, with touchwiz- I hate touchwiz.
My brother kind of held my hand when my phone was first flashed over to CyanogenMod, a more accurate description was that he sabotaged it giving me little reason not to flash a custom image, so I'm still a bit new at this. I've gone threw the forums with the intent of reading up on weather I can and how I should go about flashing my phone. Problem is that I can't find anything that directly relates to the version of the firmware I have and I don't know if its compatible with any of the methods on the table.
I'm rightfully terrified of bricking my phone. I at least want some encouragement of reading about people with a success rate with an identical device before I go off and potentially brick my phone, if I do brick my phone I want it to be completely my fault because I plan on reading every guide and forum thread twice just to make sure I don't miss a nuance of the process.
Anyway,
i have a Galaxy S4, SGH-I337Z
Build #: KOT49H.i337zTUUBOA1
Android Ver- 4.4.2
security software ver: mdf v1.0 Rel 2
any combination of that information just points me to similar threads with no 100% (or even 50%) identical information. I've got three threads open in tabs rite now that say things about MD3 or MK2 firmware and I have no idea if I have those or not.
Anyway I'm hoping someone can find the info I'm to blind to find myself.
Thanks in advance!
Ryo
Hi there,
Best answers you will receive in the dedicated forum for this device, see bellow, but first you need to register an aacount on XDA for full access.
Here's few discussions about your device:
[Q] Help Rooting the aio S4 model i337z
[guide][how-to] sim unlock aio/cricket galaxy s4 i337z
[Q] i337z Cricket variant that is no good for modding?
For questions please ask directly here: Stupid Questions Thread - No question too stupid!
Good luck
Ok im having trouble understanding this. Im new and ive read for countless hours but it seems as though i have to install a custom firmware?? Not sure what a kernel is so im leaning against that. I have a z ultra googleplay edition running 5.1 lollipop. Should I downgrade to kitkat 4.4? Is that even possible? Ive heard by unlocking bootloader you lose camera function and screen resolution which I defenitely dont want to do. Any help would be grear. It seems as though even the people that own stores that told me they can do ut are giving me the run around. If anyone knows someone that has done this before and put me in contact it would greatly be appreciated as well.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The best place to get information and ask questions is in your device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra They are the experts on your device.
I apologize if this has been poster and answered somewhere already. I've been searching for forums related to the S5 active and haven't had much luck.
I have rooted phones and tablets before, must recently my Tab S, so I'm not new to the root process.
I guess my first question is, would you recommend rooting this phone? And if so, what method would you suggest?
My next question is, what if any good custom roms are out there for this phone?
Thanks

It's all down to choice. If you're happy voiding the warranty on your device (Most people are here at XDA) to get more customisation and features then by all means go ahead and root. The guide here should help you obtain root on your device as it is for all variants of the S5.
As for ROMS for the S5 Active I would recommend looking at the S5 Unified development category and also keep searching on Google as since it is a "special edition" phone (By that I mean not the main device of the lineup) it will take longer for custom ROMs to be developed.

Thanks for the response! Voiding the warranty doesn't bother me, I was just unsure about the limited info I was finding. But now that I know where to look, I have everything I need. Thanks for the help!
If u wanna get most out of your phone than root is the first step to it. Otherwi se learn to be satisfied with the present performance of the phone.
Root it so that you'll be able to increase you devices performance. And for the custom roms, maybe try cyanogenmod.
Hey guys, I've been using android for quite a few years now, but when I came upon this forum, I saw a few posts warning of bricked devices. So, just to be sure, I'm looking for a guide on how to flash ROMs safely without bricking it. I looked around quite a bit and can't seem to find any guides for it. I have the i815 Verizon version, by the way. I downloaded CM12.1 already, but I've never used ODIN before. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
