I was wondering if I used the Freegee project app from the play store to flash CWM can I use that version to flash the CyanogenMod 10.2 without any problems? I know it says use a loki-fied version but I can't find where that is located at.

If you were rooted and used freegee to install CWM recovery. You are good freegee installs a lokified version of CWM.
Therefore CWM applies the Loki patch for you when you go yo flash a ROM.

Thank you, I wanna use CWM instead of TWRP cause it won't let me tap in anything other then install and once I'm there I still can't select anything.

Hey guys,
if i ''restore with backups'' with the freegee tool ,does that mean that cwm recovery is uninstalled or does it just lock the bootloader?
If i do that is any way to see that the phone has custom recovery and not the original?(its for warranty issues)
i want just to lock the bootloader and then unroot it..finally i will do a factory reset.
The reason im asking is that im a bit of noobie and the whole ''kdz revert to stock'' process i a bit scary to me
Thanks in advance!

For warranty reasons simply use this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660
Also Freegee doesn't 'unlock' the bootloader, it simply flashes custom recovery that patches the boot partition so that we don't brick our phones. It's actually just a bypass. Virtual Machine if you wish to call it that I guess.
Recovery for kitkat version
........on free gee i could only find cmw for jellybean version......there is no lokified version for kitkat...anybody who know about this...plss help me..
My phone is already rooted but i don't have a recovery if i try to use freegee it says first sorry your software version is not currently supported, will attempt to upload boot image for support. >> Upload boot image and device info.Then "Your images has been uploaded. Please allow time for it to be proccessed!". Device Name: geehrc_ply_pl, Software version: E97510e.
OK after that i can choose recovery so i prefer cwm but it doesn't matter which i choose cwm or twrp because after i click open phone i get the message: error during download try again later .
I've been messing around with it over two days now there's no way at all to do anything with it any idea because i have rooted E975 but i don't have a recovery so i can't flash nothing at all ,please help because i'm going crazy with it
If you have e975 or f180 just flash something usual like europe 10d and it will work. Freegee always worked for me but after i flashed latest 10j it is not.

Downloading from both sources stops after about 100kb. Tried to flash again, using kdz that I got using downloading tool from this thread.
When flashing completes it reboots automaticly to recovery mode. After I try factory reset (got to it by holding vol - and power) phone again reboots to recovery mode.
After that it boots to rom, but it's all the same, just the root is gone...

I know that, but I thought that kdz should erase user data and settings and flash new rom, not to only remove root

Is this option going to relock my boot loader? I'm on my stock ROM (not a custom stock ROM, the ROM straight from LG). I can't get LGNPST to connect to my computer (running windows 8). My phone randomly loses internet connection (started when I flashed a 4.4 ROM) even though it says I have full bars on LTE. Tried restoring my EFS from before I began flashing, however that didn't work.

Also, I saw that one of the FAQ (according to shellnut on his post about releasing freegee for the OGPro) was how to uninstall this. He answered "restore with backups" so...I'm assuming that means as long as I'm on the LG factory ROM and use the restore with backups, I'll be relocked and won't run into the LG Security error like I would on a custom ROM.
**EDIT**
from what I understand, restoring with backups will relock the boot loader without wiping the ROM (which is why restoring with backups gives you the security error when doing it on a custom ROM) so...I'll be fine with doing it on the LG stock ROM. Right? I know I'm kind of answering my own questions but it helps to hear it from someone else. I'm currently waiting on a reply from shellnutt.

I think I gave an answer in another thread about FreeGee and how it works.
When you use FreeGee it doesn't just backup your EFS it backs up the boot and two other parts. FreeGee is a dumb app meaning that it always assumes you are restoring to the same ROM. So if you are on ZVB and run FreeGee then move to ZVC and do a restore it can crash your phone. If all you want is to restore your EFS then hit this link for details. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38348745&postcount=1

I'm on zvc and was on zvc before unlocking so it backed up my zvc boot stuff. I restored my efs already that's fine. I'm just trying to relock the bootloader and just stay on LGs Stock ROM.

I have no idea nor have I heard of it and no-one here or anywhere can tell you it will. If you want wait for a better answer or until I can look it up.
Look in here for more info but it doesn't cover unrooting/re-locking http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050582
I will tell you that there is a chance of an unbootable phone if you have removed any bloatware and then re-lock the phone.
If you want to be safe then just LGPNST back to stock. You'll have to reinstall everything but that is always the safest.
Yeah I removed bloatware but I don't remember which ones I did besides the file manager.
Never mind, I have them all still. Only one I didn't have was File Manager but that was reinstalled with the Application Manager.
Trust me, if I could LGNPST I would, but for some reason it won't recognize my phone. I need the windows 8 drivers I think but even then, I was told theres some weird process you have to go through in order to get it to work on windows 8

I've read that you only get the security error when you uninstall one of the GApps. Is that true or is it with all preinstalled apps?

More questions? lol LG apps will do it too. If you don't unlock your bootloader, you'll become really good friends with LGNPST, if you uninstall an app LG wants. Sucks I know, but unlocking isn't that bad. The safest way to unlock? Just LGNPST teeny bins. I haven't heard of any issues with it. But s#*t happens.
I want to LGNPST but alas, LGNPST hates my phone. I checked compared to my moms LGOG, I'm not missing any apps so I should be good with the freegee relock I guess. I hope so.

When i tried to restore the stock rom, it remains stuck on samsung logo
Any solution? Any ideea why?
All responses will be appreciated. Thank you!

Could be the new Bootloader blocking you
Try flashing a CM rom and then try restoring the backup.
Thank for the fast reply. I.ll try and post the result.
The fact is i can restore an old stock backup (mi6), but not the new one (mk4)

I.ve flashed MK4 on top of MI6 with mobile odin, clear data, root etc, backup with philz, cannot restore the backup!
The os is working great, but I cannot restore backup. It remains stuck on bootanimation.
I.ve void my knox warranty, so i.ll try everything, as long as it works!

The only thing I can think is something must be wrong with your backups.
Once you restored have you tried to wipe the device? Does it boot fully?
I use phills recovery to restore my device every time I test a new project and have no issues.

Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932327.
If it does not work you may have a partition corrupted, get an official 4.1 rom and a PIT file,flash the 2 files together via odin with repartition checked. Good luck.

thank you for the advice!
I.ve flashed the fixer, flashed philz again and the same problem...
now i.m downloading an 4.1.2 firmware to see what can i do
the problem is ONLY with 4.3 new bootloader frimwares, because i can restore without problem CM roms and MI6 rom
that.s why I thought it was because of the new bootloader, and not because of the partition...
anyway, yhamk you again for your advice. I.ll flash 4.1.2 and post the results
@faria
my friend,
it was bad
I tried to flash 4.1.2 with pit: UNSUPPORTED VERSION
tried to flash your rom with PC odin: UNSUPPORTED VERSION
I managed to flash the latest MK4 for my country...
should I flash it with the pit file?
Now I don.t know if I should stay on this without the possibility of restoring a nandroid backup, or just use the MI6 backup
anyway, there will always by CM
thank you for your help!
I will watch the forum and I will keep to date

I m sorry to hear that.In another note,if you are in official 4.3 and rooted you should be able to install my rom or a lest any 4.3 rom via Mobile odin.
Hello guys . Let me start of by saying I'm probably repeating what has been answered a million times but time is of the essence here. Here's my situation.
I have a friend who has a t mobile galaxy s4 and he asked me to upgrade his system for him to cyanogenmod . He has mk2 firmware android 4.3 and his rooted I did that for him. But the thing is I have an att galaxy.s4 and my bootloader is locked . Is the t mobile one locked as well on MK2. I don't want to mess up his device. He doesn't care for tripping the flash counter as he has no warranty.
So to conclude can I flash TWP or CWM recovery on his phone without bricking it if so can someone please lead me to a link. Thanks .
Once again sorry for the repetition but I searched google and I wasn't getting a straight forward answer.
