Do you have a US996, and want to be able to start modding/theming the ROM? FINE! HERE! Lol...
Please know, this is 100% stock, including kernel. Also, I do not own a US996 (but I do own the H918). This ROM has already been tested (thanks @monsieurtalbot !)
No changes on the ROM. SuperSU gets flashed alongside the ROM. Oh, and setenforce=0 is set via init.qcom.post-boot
Before proceeding. It is absolutely necessary for you to be on a stable TWRP build (currently, RC8, 3.0.2-0, and 3.0.2-1). Also, you must have already have had decrypted your ENTIRE phone. If your phone bootloops into TWRP, you probably didn't decrypt, and/or didn't flash no-verity properly, or it could also be that you are on an old TWRP build. . You have been warned.
This is for the Factory Unlocked US Cellular. Untested on the other US996.
Here we have the base NRD90M ROM from LG. The only difference from this, and what came on your phone is, that it is not ODEXd anywhere. DeODEXing basically bundles all parts of an APK together which saves space, allows for modification of the APK (like for System UI and stuff), and ever so slightly increases performance (by the littlest amount possible). This is ONLY for the US996.
Also, no need to wipe, as /system is fully removed (your apps and settings will stay since that is in /data). Since we only have 1 base from LG, ROMs don't need to be wiped, even if coming from ODEX.
Major thanks to @Chainfire for creating SuperSU
Major thanks to @jcadduono for the root exploit, AND for the TWRP image(s), AND for inspiring me to learn to do it. Also, he supplied the stock System.img, boot.img, and sources for a custom kernel!/RealMVP
SUPER happy to say I am using this currently and it is flawless. Fantastic base for our custom unlocked US996 community.
No more systemless root. This is a full root and I was finally able to delete the stupid boot sounds.
Thx for letting me be the test dummy.
Just so everyone knows I dirty flashed in TWRP from stock and I have had 0 issues. I am a heavy power user.
Everything is working as it should be.
Since it's not specified in the OP - let me make sure that everyone understands that this is for the USA Factory Unlocked US996 ONLY.
Super excited for some custom roms. =)

Moving this conversation over from the H918 thread...
I would love to see the FM working on our US996 . . .
BUT - I've had no luck flashing the available zips so far that are for the H918.
FM Service crashes - I figure the chip is there - just needs to likely be enabled on the kernel end.
SO - if you are truly looking into making us a kernel, let's put that on a likely very long todo list. lmao <3

There's another US996 for US Cellular - as we all know - so as things get released possibly for that model (which holds the same model number for whatever reason) and this thread ages - it might not be a terrible idea to exclusively specify so some poor soul down the road doesn't flash this to the wrong device... :highfive:

Any chance you could post the md5 sum for the ROM to check that we got a good download? I want to ensure a good file before flashing a new system.

It would have to be later tonight, getting ready for work now. You can just double click the zip on your pc. If it opens without an error, you are good to go.
Would you happen to have a stock ODEXed rom for US996 to post as you did for the H918?
Also, are you planning to build anything off the US996 stock deODEXed rom or is it for safety net purposes?
I was thinking about diving into the v20 world to do some dev work, though am I reading this right? Each ROM has to be based off of the system.img for each model number? That makes it hard to decide which device model to buy

I honestly am not sure, but I did this just to be safe. As it turns out, FM is not included in the US996 ROM or kernel. I don't know of any other discrepancies, but that was enough for me.
IMO the H918 is the way to go, and just Unlock it from Tmobile. But that's just my opinion.

I suppose I could upload a stock ODEXd, but, I don't see the point. :cyclops:
You're right, no point. It's early in the game, hopefully there will be a .tot or .kdz (lg equivalent of ruu) for the eventual 7.1 update.
Thanks for your efforts to date.
Can this ROM be flashed on a sprint 997 that was unlocked and rooted using the dirty Santa method?
The reason I'm asking is because that process seems to change my phone to an unlocked 996 and I want to start fresh with a stock ROM.
Well this is weird. I went to install this and TWRP is telling me I have the wrong device. It is telling me i have a 918 when I know for a fact its a 996....

It detects your model from build.prop I believe.
Can you change your model in your build.prop and retry?
Would anyone be willing on trying out a custom kernel? FM might be working. Plus other things and stuff .
I don't have a US996, so I can't test it. So be sure to have a stock boot.img and your stock /system/lib/modules folder. If this fails, you can simply flash your stock boot.img right within twrp, and then push the modules folder into /system/lib/modules. Or you can reflash the ROM.
i was able to dirty flash this straight onto my stock VS995 with the konverge kernel flashed as well and the only problem i have is the static boot but that's easily fixed

basically until the phone actually boots into the os it looks like a messed up tv showing only static colors and you cant see anything, what you do is you wait until it boots into the os and shut the screen off then hold your finger over the front camera and it fixes it and everything is normal.

Any chance you could do it, If it's not too much trouble? I'd like to install it on my F800L, if I can, and I seem to be having issues with the current deodex'd version.
If I'm honest, I have no idea if it will make any difference whatsoever, and the issue could be something completely unrelated (ihavenoideawhatimdoing), but I'd just like to try it, anyway. I got an odex'd H918 working, so It has me wondering if it makes any difference?

This is mostly for developers that want to do things that having a locked boot.img normally stops you from doing. An average user will gain little value...
But lets say you were making a theme and had to "push" files to the /system folder you can NOW do that with this boot.img. It makes Dev's lives a LOT more easy now, lol

yes it does, copying files to my sdcard and then moving them with root explorer, or packaging them in a flashable zip and copying to sdcard and flashing everytime is frustrating. specially if your doing it every 10-15 mins.

I know this is just a simplification process for devs and it helps skip the extra step of moving files somewhere else first then move to /system with root explorer if you're rooted, so please don't ask if I'm a dev, the answer is: no, I'm not. I would appreciate if someone could only answer this question without getting into other details. I would like to know if it would harm or break anything if I have VRALF2 rom and radio/stock kernel and I flash a VRALG1 kernel, but keep the rest as it is? Would this newer kernel work with my older version rom, or do I have to flash the whole package first? I basically don't want to renew my rom to the new G1 version since there is no apparent improvement (it's actually worse) over the older F2 version rom, since it downgrades certain things.

When you say no improvement are you talking the Modems? If you are only flashung a rom and havent changed the kernel then it would be the same as just flashing the g1 modem with a different rom correct.

I'm not talking about the modem, I'm asking about the kernel, if I flash THIS unsecure (G1) kernel, but otherwise have ALL F2 stuff (modem, rom, etc), will it mess up anything? I think u misunderstood my question, I don't want to flash a G1 rom or modem, just the kernel, because the modems are same, so no improvement there, and the F2 rom is better than the G1 rom, so I'm keeping everything as F2 like it was, but flashing this G1 kernel. Will that be compatible/ok?
Try it??? If it fails just restore from backup?

Well, you can try it but my experieince tells me that you may loose LTE and WiFi because yo dont have matching modules. The modules (aka drivers if it were windfows) hare specific to a kernel. If you took the /system/lib/modules folder from a G1 ROM like mine or nosympathy and pushed them in I bet it would work just fine. But why on earth are you on older build?

Thats easy... Before you flashed the boot.img was USB deggign turned on? If not it would be turned on now.
If USB degging was already on or not on turn it on... Then... connect phone and wait for the connection to finish. Then type "adb remount" (assuming you have ADB handy) and it should say "remount succeeded" If it says operation not permitted then it did not take.

What difference did you expect? Its a STOCK kernel and will behave like a stock kernel except give full and true root access to the device. Its not for the end user its for developers. Of course this ramdisk will also allow us to start modifying and shutting off services, tweak things at the kernel level, etc... But right now, this is just bone stock with init.d support and root level access to the file system via ADB.
Hope that explains it some.
Easily Switch Between JB/KK/LP Bootloader
!! d800 ONLY !!
Make sure you flash the right model!
With the advent of BUMP, we can now use the KK bootloader. A lot of projects preserved the old JB bootloader, since that was needed due to loki. This is the easy way to update your JB bootloader to the new KK bootloader.
Inspired by @dorimanx who did this for the d802. I followed suit and made this for the d800.
What this is:
As it simply says, it upgrades (or downgrades) the bootloader. This includes several other small partitions, in addition to aboot and sbl1.
Sources:
10d & 20c - Extracted from TOT file
20y & 30f - I started with 20d, then did FOTA to 20y and extracted the partitions. Then I did FOTA to 30f and again extracted the partitions.
What this is NOT:
This does not touch your boot, recovery, or modem/radio partitions. You must make sure those are compatible BEFORE flashing this.
WARNING: You can easily brick your phone if you mess this up! This is for d800 ONLY!!! Also, you must have BUMPed boot and recovery images already on your phone to use KK bootloader or you will get fastboot error (or it just won't boot). JB supports BUMP images and LOKI images. KK only supports BUMP.
Lollipop Information:
Special LOLLIPOP WARNING: At this time, the Lollipop BL is not exploitable. Therefore, if you flash Stock LP BL, you will probably brick, or at a minimum, you will lose access to recovery.
To use a BUMPED lollipop ROM, you should install the Lollipop Bump bootstack on my site. It is all of the 30f Lollipop partitions, with a 20y aboot (so bump will work).
Download:
Did you read the warning above? If not, DO NOT DOWNLOAD.
Did you read it twice? If not, DO NOT DOWNLOAD.
Do you understand everything it says? If not, DO NOT DOWNLOAD.
Do you know how to recover if you mess your phone up? If not, DO NOT DOWNLOAD.
I do not want any posts saying "HALP I MESSED THIS UP."
Which bootloader am I currently on?
The only sure way to know is to flash one, or know which one you flashed last.
You can get an idea of your bl when you use the button combo to enter recovery (VolDwn+Pwr, release and repress when LG logo comes up, hold until menu comes up) the screen looks different. On JB the phone asks you to repeatedly press power for factory reset. On KK the phone has you use the volume rocker to pick different menu options.

-Version 1.1 does NOT flash misc partition.
+Misc contains things like MAC addresses and doesn't need to be flashed.
Update 2015.05.12
I have added the 20y KK bootloader, which appears to be different than the originally posted 20c. Both are now posted.
Additionally, I added the LP 30f bootloader. WARNING: This bootloader is not (yet?) exploitable! Flashing it will likely brick your device, or at the very least it will break your recovery. You have been warned!

As stated in the OP, dorimanx made exactly the same zip for the d802 to update the bootloader and the other necessary partitions.
You'll just need a bumped recovery + bumped kernel.

Could someone please be kind enough to make one for vs980? I tried making one myself by picking the same exact files off of vs980 kdz but it didn't work.

Extract the partitions out of the stock tot, then just use a simple flash script. Again, if you don't know what you're doing - it is VERY easy to mess up and DIFFICULT to recover from.
Noticing this says bumped boot and recovery required in the op. Was wondering even if I'm on stock everything, boot included, do I still need to be bumped. I would say yes on the recovery due to the nature of how autorec worked. But what about boot, since it is bone stock? Thanks for the info. Thanks for your work on this phone.
Yikes I tried this with 12/5 AICP 5.0 drgravy d800, Render5, and blastagators bumped TWRP 2.8.2.0.
Installed the KK-20C bootloader, the device spent a long time on on the LG logo with a few vibrates, then it blackscreened. While blackscreened plugging into PC started charging and gave me access to Internal Storage. Tried a power off and back on again with same result.
Luckily, manually going into TWRP and flashing the JB-10D bootloader got things back to normal.
EDIT: Just dawned on me that I had the dr87 Working Rotation JB Baseband installed. Perhaps I should have tried with the KK Baseband?

After reading ALOT of info heres where i am. I think our good guy render is trying to get his kernel working bumped for KK bootloader and lollipop builds.. heres where i got sad.
It seems recently there is ALOT of dev arguements on the nature of opensource bump so much so that the the orginators have actually closed down and stopped development on the project. lets not go any further with that disucssion, there are other threads for that if you care to read.
So basically i dont have a build environment right now to try to bump any kernels using the instructions and I'm not sure what to think right now considering what i HAVE read. I actually stay away from posting alot of things on XDA that i do on my own, because of this very nature i have seen pop up to many times to count. So to summerize:
Dont have a build environment where i am right now to try...even when i get home im not sure how i will feel since i do respect the codefire guys but understand why someone would have done what they did. If i am successful getting someone elses work say renders kernel, to finally boot ill let him know but im sure render will figure it before i even do that :highfive:
Dump of Stock Partitions
Lollipop d800-30f
Since we don't have a d80030f KDZ or TOT yet, I decided I would try to do the next best thing. I did a back to factory 20c -> 20y -> 30f upgrade progression. Then I did a factory reset, followed by one click root. Then I dumped all of the partitions that are normally part of the KDZ.
The zip includes Stock 30f images of:
aboot
dbi
laf
misc (removed, not needed - specific to each phone)
persist
rpm
sbl1
tz
I have the modem partition, which will get its own zip and its own post. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g2/development/modems-att-stock-modems-t3106221)
I also dumped system, but it is huge. Please don't download it if you're not a ROM maker (it'll make Google mad at me): https://drive.google.com/folderview...NEb0dUVlpQenhrOHZsaGYyQ3ZiOGV0LWM&usp=sharing

Here ya go.
Flashable zip of the whole ROM will be soon (probably work on it tonight).
@blastgator, what will be the difference between your flashable zip and the stock OTA, other than the fact that it's a zip? Also, do you find it preferable to use stock LP on our device vs BlissPop or other 5.1.1 ROMs? I spend a lot of time and computing power building nightlies, want to know if it's pointless. I don't think so, but now that we have LP, I needed to ask you. PMing you!

I still run KK. I am just doing some of this stuff to get ready for the upcoming move. I was going to start looking into ROM creation, based on stock ROM (since we don't really have any at this point).
Therefore, I don't really know the answer to your question - "is it worth it?"
And yes, the zip is just what I recovered after doing the FOTA. Much easier grabbing these instead of having to flash 20c and then force 2x FOTAs.

that's exactly what i was going to say, i don't use blisspop, i don't like custom roms, i prefer stock experience and i cant upgrade since im not on AT&T network, and what he is doing is exactly what i (and many others alike) need, a flashable zip of the Lollipop update

I slapped a zip together earlier for the stock ROM - it wasn't cooperative and made me mad so I gave up for the evening. Kept getting error:
E: Failed to sysMapFile
It was >2GB so that might have been part of the problem.

Exactly what I'm looking/waiting for as well. 100% stock Lollipop rom in a flashable zip format. Well, a debloated version would be better but I'll debloat myself if need be. Our Devs are amazing, I'll hang tight and wait for it
Awesome, thank you so much! There hasn't been much movement for a stock LP ROM for the D800, so I'm glad you're doing it!
<Deleted> Test build info was here.
blastagator said:
If any brave testers dare:
http://blastagator.ddns.net/testing.php - beta1
It might not work! Please make sure you know how to recover!!!
I would not post something I would not try on my phone.
HOWEVER, I have NOT tried this on my phone because I had some family issues come up and I can't be "off the grid" so to speak to test things in recovery.
This flashes 20y bootstack, 30f modem, 30f system, and 30f bumped boot.img. Nothing else /should/ be modified. Root may or may not work. It appears installed, but you may need to run "One-Click-Root" or some similar thing after install.
Also, I modified nothing other than root and doing a bump. FOTA will still be functional as well as any other nasties that could cause issues down the line. This is STOCK!
If anyone tries, please report back, for everyone's sake.

Downloading, i'll report back later thank you very much
Question can i flash that from 20k? or do i need to be on something specific?
<Deleted> - Old test build info.
I downloaded the beta earlier but ran out of time today to do the install. Before I get brave and attempt it tonight or tomorrow, has anyone done it already and if so what were the results? Thanks.

Didn't work. I had a bad update-binary in there. Once I fixed that I kept playing mix and match because of fastboot error. Still no luck, and needed my phone back. I'll tinker more later.
Tried full 20y bootstack. Tried just aboot and laf 20y, rest as LP. Tried each of this with bumped and unbumped stock LP boot.img.
Bumping gave me a padding error, guessing it might be partially related to that. Unsure.
Thanks for the update, saved me a few headaches I'll hang in there until you get a version that boots. Thanks for doing this!

I won't be messing with it for awhile. I have to work all weekend. 12 straight days of work, woohoo!
Thank you @blastagator for all your help. No rush. To know someone is looking into it will hopefully spark some interest in the d800 community! Once again - your contributions around here have been invaluable.
Your warranty is now void, don't blame me if your phone blows up blahblahblah.
Only system and kernel are being flashed, no Modem, BL, etc. You should update to 20A before using.
Have not tested this myself, due to not owning the H850. edit: flashed it on T-Mobile 830 for fun with 830 boot, no surprise, didn't work.
Decided to post anyway. If your going to use it, BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP
Based off of 20A Complete zip from @autoprime. Only things touched are bootanimation (pixel black) and renamed recovery-from-boot.bak. It's also been zip-aligned.
Flash in recovery, profit??
SuperSu and Busybox included. Only /system is wiped, data left alone.
Can dirty flash over current 20A if you like.
Any errors, etc, would most likely be related to deodexing as all files are stock.- Again, haven't tested this one myself
Link: H850_20A_DeOdexed
MD5: bb58ff90c21bbc09b4d0f1c132fa91b3
If anyone would like to use this as a base, Great! Would appreciate some credit. [emoji3]
Enjoy.
Optional: Adjust Screen Color , Fluence HD Patch
Credits: @autoprime for stock zip. @Chainfire for supersu. @SuperR. for the kitchen. @Tilde88 for pointing me in the right direction. @PlayerZ_ZawZaw for bootanimation. @jcadduono for TWRP.
It's people like them that make Android great!
Finally, thanks to Google/LG & XDA.

Let me know if you end up trying it. I'll update OP and give you credit.
Right on! So this should work well with FluenceHD, potentially trying to bring myself to update to Nougat, but man Xposed has some pretty clutch tools, and reverting back to marshmallow I'm reading is a few more steps than I would like to take in a given night, you know if I decide that no ads on YouTube and background playback is worth giving up...
Still thank you for uploading and I will report back if I decide to pause Xposed in my day to day

It'd be nice if you could dual boot it alongside MM (wishful thinking). Don't think the kernel would boot on the old bootloader....maybe someone with more knowledge can help, or a daredevil could just try to flash it. The older MM modem should still work though, maybe. Shouldn't hurt? if your flashing in dual boot or just through TWRP normally because there's no modem, BL etc being flashed just system&boot.
Now with my old S4 there was no problem running an older BL with newer kernels, but this phone....idk.
Received error while flashing, code 7, seems it couldn't locate a certain filesystem and aborts installation

Ok, just downloaded 850 20A checked MD5, then replaced boot.img with 830. Flashed fine, no problems. Wouldn't boot though....no surprise really.
Have you checked the md5? could be a bad download, it is mega after all. Can't think of another reason why it would flash here but not on yours....

So, i didn't find any Deodexed stock ROM available for this phone so i decided to make my own
This ROM is ased on the Oreo November Security Patch.
New features:
Deodexed.
Zipaligned.
Added Germany CSC to the ROM with Vodafone bloatware.
Fixed AROMA Installer error.
Nothing else lol it's stock.
Download it from this Google Drive link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1tmIV0d6ItzU9BCcgSbqq4Ydfn65RJ3iX
You can flash this ROM with TWRP or use it to make your own "Custom" ROM. You have to credit me though
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKED DEVICES! THANKS.
The rom is very interesting, thank you Đánh giá Samsung Galaxy A8 2018: Đến gần phân khúc cao cấp
!!
Working good! thanks
TL;DR Can I kang this and supply A530W support variant port? And maybe... kernel optimization as well as our other usual tweaks, add aroma, etc? (Perhaps some not so typical tweaks will be involved )
I am beginning work immediately to bring this rom to our neglected Canadian friends with the A530W, one of which I happen to be! So I aim to bring further features and kernel development from A530F and beyond to the A530W, so typically would post updates for both models. After initial port I wll await permission to publish, just in case. After a week or two if silent, ITS GOIN' UP BABY!
Per guideline, no ETA: I am working on it in my free time. Estimate is a week, and I'm not required to give ANY timing, so don't chew me if it's not here on time!
Key factor is this @DeadRatGames : Do I have your permission to use this "kitchen" stock rom as base, with your credit making my rom possible? Like when mum makes chicken, and ut's good but you go and turn then into some damn nice double layer nachos.
I couldn't do it without that dope chicken

uh, I've never seen u before but that doesn't matter
you can still make this rom without a "port" cuz a530w and a530f are exactly the same, just different csc obviously, so just to "port" this rom for a530w, you can add the csc from a530w into the rom, that's all
and yes, you do have permission, it says in the end of the OP

Well yeah, of course you can use it as a base for your ROM or any other development. Just credit me at the bottom . Also this ROM already has the Aroma installer. When you have the first stable build ready send me a link to it so i can test it on my A530F universal variant. I just uploaded a more recent version of the ROM which is based on the November Security Patch. Download that instead. The only downside is that i'm currently developing a heavily tweaked version of the ROM myself. If you wish we can develop a better ROM together.

Total noob on this stuff.
I was trying to achieve something like this just last night.
Got handed a decent 64 bit laptop so i immediately made a partition for superR's version of Ubuntu and... still reading up on the ROM stuff so i don't have to make 25 zips to get it right. Expecting 5-10 no matter what. :laugh:
My question is, what do i do with your ROM, flash a .bin file im TWRP? I thought just .zip and .img files were possible.
Also, i am guessing to not do any wipe and dirty flash?
And (last one i swear) Is it okay with Magisk or should i go back to stock, only TWRP then flash?
Thanks.
Ok 7zip, figured it out.

This is stock. Yes of course you can flash Magisk after it lol. Do not unzip the file you download. You just flash it as is. But why would you flash it anyways it's a base for developing and making something better out of it.
Yeah i looked at it with 7zip to see.
Trying to start the building process... simple ones. Just small tweaking at this point.
