Hello,
I am very new to rooting, and just rooted my Sprint LG G2 with 4.4.2 KitKat through IORoot 25 and then used AutoRec as my TWRP. I then downloaded Cyanogenmod11 from its website onto my phone, and tried to flash install it through AutoRec. However, when I try to install the CM11 ROM, I get the "MD5 not found" message, and when I try to reboot after this, my phone goes into what I think is Bootloop (the LG home screen continuously turns on for a couple seconds, then stops for a split second, and then turns back on for a couple seconds). Fortunately, I am was able to hard restart my phone by holding Power and Volume Up together while this screen is on, and I was able to restore my phone with the backup I made, and my phone is now working fine with the stock ROM. Has anyone else had this problem before, and if so is there a better way for my to install custom ROM, and/or fix that MD5 message? Does anyone know what that MD5 message means?
One other note, I have been doing some reading and I currently have ZVC radio. I'm not sure what this means exactly, but would this make a difference?
Thanks!
If you are on 4.4.2 cm won't work on that version yet

Interesting, thanks. Are there any ROMs that work for 4.4.2 that people have been using, or am I pretty much stuck with the stock ROM until CM is updated?
Cloudyfa has some in the G2 android development forum. There are some others that will work with sprint.

Hi, would you mind explaining further why it wont work, coz i have the exact problem that LGGuy83 is/was experiencing (i used autorec too and cm11 gives me an lg logo boot loop) and this is the closest thread to getting an answer
What radio are you on? Zv8 radio is required.

thanks for ur reply,
Im not sure what "radio" version, but i know its updated to VS980-26A
anyway i sorted the problem by using the cm11 version on this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702958
i simply downloaded the one here and installed, (skipped all the steps and just put it in the internal memory and flashed it)
Now its working well. ill let you know if any problems arise.

Sure, does it not work correctly on your device?
Works perfect. Even works with the Value Pack update and cm10.1 and 10.2. I haven't tested for original stock though.
Excellent work my friend!!! Thank you!!!!
Works great, thank you.

Touch is way off on stock ROM, very sluggish and freezes, had to use freegee to go back to 2.6.0
It did work fine on 10.2 but was a little slow.

Think i found the problem for the lazy behaviour. I'm going to make a rebuild on tomorrow.
Is this working for E988 version 10a build jzo54k ? I have problems installing cwm/ twrp with project freegee. It will go into a secure booting error boot certification verify message after i restart my phone. I can only install kdz to get back to stock. I can access the cwm recovery though, but i don't dare to flash anything.
Probably yes - the loki patcher lists "official" support for AT&T E980 / HK LG E988 and works also with the international E986 version.
But it has not been tested with the E988 on this recovery yet.
I also updated both install packages on the first post, please check if you could see an improvement regarding the touch/lag issue.

How are you guys getting this to work with CM10.1?
Everytime I go into recovery, the phone becomes unresponsive/freezes, even on this newest update.
I'm also looking for an alternative way to install CWM 6.0.3.7, since FreeGee won't work.
...TWRP
Nope, didn't work for me. I am rooted. went into recovery, which was a piece of cake....(thx!!)....but then, the buttons would not work correctly. such as....pressed 'BACKUP', and it went into the 'REBOOT' menu. I then went back to the free gee method.
btw - E980 here

Right now you have to switch from CWM to TWRP or vice versa. If you are on stock...Freegee is what you want.
After stock, you need a flashable CWM or one of the TWRP zips.
There was CWM that I saw but can't find the link. Then you can switch between them, if needed.
A dual recovery would be nice but I didn't see one for the OGP.

ADB AND debug
Heads up everyone, I was having no luck with this until I realized that I had to not only hit the check mark by 'enable USB debug..' but also tap on the option so I could choose to enable debug AND adb. Hope that helps someone.

no i havent tried that yet : o
do i just flash the file the OP said to flash first in Odin under PDA and the ill have 4.3?
Give SN 4.3 a try it's smooth and stable for me no FC's, Wanam Xposed is the bomb! (Std version not the Note3 version) Not sure what carrier you're on but I can confirm that you CAN go back to 4.1.2 effortlessly by following steps listed in OP section.
I had no end of troubles installing with latest TWRP 2.6.3.1 installed it just does not seem to play well with 4.3 at this time. Philz CWM based recovery however solved all issues smoothly. Not a knock on TWRP I've used it on every device I own and still say it's the standard others aspire to!
I had the same problem. I used one click and Pilz recovery. TWRP was the issue.

Hi XDA! I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N900T T-Mobile. I've had custom roms such as CM11 Nightly in the past. Well after trying to do a fresh install a while back of another custom rom, my phone at first had no OS because I wiped it like a doofus. So I flashed it back to stock, 4.3 at the time. And then starting a couple weeks ago I flashed CWM using CWM Manager app. That's when the same issue that's recurring over and over, began. My phone works great as long as I never reboot into recovery. If I reboot into recovery it gets stuck in a bootloop. However I noticed tonight after trying to reboot into recovery using goo manager, I noticed the last line when it first boots, then bootloops, says Set warranty bit-recovery. If I remember correctly shouldn't it say kernel?? I know this is my fault because I'm not as knowledgable as all of you (I'm still learning on my own). SO my question is this. I want to fix this once and for all because I can't ever flash a custom rom like Darthstalker (that's the one I'd like to flash)...after several failed attempts of flashing CM for example, to no avail. What can I do to fix this once and for all and be able to flash a kernel, and Darthstalker? I can get into download mode, needless to say. ANd all the other times it's bootlooped I flashed KitKat 4.4.2 and everything works fine until i try to reboot into recovery. I am at my witts end because this i I really want a custom rom instead of flashing only the md5. Would anyone please be willing to give me a tutorial of some kind? I know it's a lot to ask but I can't find another reliable source that can explain how to do all of this. You're the only site I trust and if anyone is willing to give mea tutorial via email , PM, etc. I'd be eternally grateful beyond belief. Thank you in advance for any advice or info
I posted a few days ago about my bootlooping in the recovery. I finally fixed it by these 3 steps.
1) Odin flashed Stock 4.4.2 complete as this sets the correct boot loader.
2) I downloaded Twrp 2.7.0 the one that list KitKat (Must say this) 4.4 version.
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
3) Right from Odin when flashing this you set it not to reboot, Once finished you then unplug the usb cable and pull the battery. Let is sit for about 10 sec. Then with the upVlm,Home and Power it will boot to the recovery. It first will post what you said but wait about 10 sec more twrp will come up.
4) Now you should be able to flash any rom you want. I am using axmans N3 for now works great. I will be trying CM 11 later.
5) make a backup once in Twrp
Hope this helps.

I'm honestly confused on what you are asking. What bootloader are you on . Jellybean or Kit Kat. That is the big part of the question. If you are on Kit Kat you can no longer run Darthstalker as it's a 4.3 rom. Just curious because you say that you flashed 4.4.2 rom and everything works. Also, the bootloop would either be your kernel or your recovery. I would suggest Philz or Twrp 2.7 as they are both updated and will work on either bootloader.
Once you have flashed a bootloader and custom recovery NEVER USE ODIN AGAIN UNLESS YOU HAVE BRICKED YOUR PHONE.

I'm on 4.4.2.I figured it is my kernel. After sending this message last night I had my phone in download mode but didn't do anything to it. I decided to turn it off and then on again and it booted. So if this is a kernel issue where would I find one and how would I do this? Oh and when the bootloop occurred last night I was trying to boot into recovery via too manager. If I put Twrp on my phone when I have CWM will they interfere? I apologize for the likely stupid questions but I'm just wanting to get it done properly. One last thing is PacMan ROM compatible?

The kernels you can use are listed in the general thread. A user posted a very good listing of what's what. TWRP 2.7 or Philz Touch are the 2 recoveries i would recommend using. Whichever one you decide will overwrite the other. you can never have 2 recoveries.
OK I'm sorry but I'm a little confused. One solution mentioned was to flash 4.4.2 stock using Odin. But you said not to use it unless I've bricked my phone. So now I'm lost. Lol. Do I flash the stock with the above mentioned method? Or do I flash a kernel and then a ROM? I apologize for my inexperienced questions. I'm including my device info below in hopes you can tell me the very first step I should take. Thank you for all your help!!!

You are already on the 4.4 bootloader so you can no longer use the Darthstalker rom, you can only use Kit Kat 4.4.2 and above roms from here on out. Next question would be have your rooted your phone since the update and have a custom recovery. If you have not rooted, then you will need to use Odin to run the CF_Autoroot, but that will trip your Knox to 0x1. Thus voiding your warranty.
Yes I rooted. But every time I try flashing CWM or Twrp it bootloops. And to get out of bootloop I have to boot in download and then cancel download and it reboots normal again. Is this a kernel or boot loader issue?

oh sorry for the late response. Just got back from boy scouts. Anyway. No you don't need to flash back to stock, Your just flashing the wrong version of TWRP. You can go to the android originial development thread and download the TWRP 2.7 and flash via recovery and you will be all good to go. Also, download the latest Wootever kernel just to make sure you have both angles covered. Both downloads are found in the same section.
Ok thanks so much. Im a little scared to flash in TWRP as it always puts me in bootloops. I did download philz and I was considering flashing that via Odin as I can't boot into recovery. Would that be the next best thing to do? Oh and dont apologize!! I can't thank you enough!

Yes, odin the custom recovery and you should have no more issues. As for the bootloops with TWRP, you only had issues with that, because the version you were trying to use was outdated and does not work on Kit Kat
Hmm found an interesting possible solution and would greatly appreciate your guidance. I found a ROM that supports KK and I think in this thread that it may indicate why I bootloop when trying to bootbin recovery. http://www.infamousdevelopment.com/...-recover-from-a-bad-flash-updated-for-kitkat/
I'm seriously considering following this whole tutorial of his to the letter. Would it be wise to do?

You have already upgraded to Kit Kat, that part is done. and you ran CF_Autoroot correct in Odin correct? If you have done both steps all that is left is to Odin the Philz Touch Recovery that you downloaded.
Ok and yes I did both the first two steps you asked above. After I do flash philz can I flash a ROM it CM or PacMan as long ad they're 4.4.2?

As long as they are AOSP Roms that support both bootloaders yes, and as i've been told most if not all the AOSP Roms do support the Kit Kat bootloader that you are already on.
Ok thank you again. I will likely flash philz tonight (if hubby allows me to cuz I usually stay up all night til I got my phone the way I want it, ie no boot loops lol) I will report back to let you know if it works. This phone has been through hell and back with me but I've learned a lot!! Especially from contributors such as yourself. :thumbup:

Hello wonderful community!
I write this in equal parts shame and anguish. I thought I knew what I was doing, apparently something went wrong. Here's the situation.
Was on Paranoid Android 4.4 BETA 1 and flashed Paranoid Android 4.4 RC1
PA 4.4 RC 1 had Google sync problems, so I decided to jump to DJL4.4Custom FLO 06-03-14 (Latest) w/recommended GAPPS
WiFi wouldn't turn on. (Would hang saying "WiFi turning on...") <-- Main problem. Can't sync, etc.
Factory resetted and did a lot of wiping - to no avail.
Now stuck in an apparent bootloop of the startup animation of DLJ4.4.
Help please!?!
This absolutely sucks. If anyone can help, please let me know. I've been using WugFresh's toolkit when needed. I did all of the flashing above via Nexus 7 only however.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

The lack of WiFi connectivity problem is ROM issue. If you have TWRP you can sideload a ROM onto it.

Thanks for your reply. I've since tried to revert back to the ROM that I was using and the WiFi is still stuck in the "Turning on WiFi" part. Could I flash a kernel instead? All ROM, GAPPS, and Kernel zip installs have been done with full wipes.

Should be able to. I use ElementalX. Very stable and fast. You can flash AOSP kernel too. When 4.4.3 first hit there were some issues that were quickly patched. Some have not worked the patch into their ROM yet.
