Is there a specific reason for the absence of custom roms based on stock KK for the LS980? Or based on other device but made for the LS980...?
Is something in particular holding devs back?
I would really like to try some of the G Pro II ports... or maybe an updated justins rom KK...

Don't quote me on this but I believe it has to do with kernel issues. I'm running stock rooted ZVC but savoca had to make a special file to be able to keep twrp and still load the rom

Its not kernel issues its more of getting a custom recovery on the phone after the kit kat update LG blocked an exploit used to install and use recoveries like TRWP. It gives you a verification issue when you try booting to recovery im pretty sure thats the main reason. Having said that there are ways to get around it but i believe you have to have ubuntu which half the people cant get and the process is so risky many users reported soft bricking and hard bricking their devices and at the moment rooting is about as far as you can go after kit kat our phones basically took on "samsung knox" in LGs form

There are also simpler ways to install twrp but then your kernel breaks and you have to flash something else which eventually breaks twrp so you are stuck at stage 1 all over again

OK just confirmed that you can get it to work and boot with twrp but it breaks download mode check this thread out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702007

I get all this. But whats the point right now to do all this if there still isnt an actual custom rom to flash...? Besides all this. Is something different that no developer has actually made or released a rom for us... i thought it would just have been a patch for th is phone and hats it. But it seems like theres more to it. Besides the whole recovery thing.

Then do it. Show us your mad dev skillz. Because obviously you know what needs to be done. You don't even need to completely customize the rom. Just port a different one like the ones your interested in.
Or do just part of the work to help the others out. Compile a new kernel so that we don't need to use stock. Release your hack to make it so we don't break download mode when we make it still possible to bypass loki. Get real creative and make the ZVC radio work on Jellybean!
And if you don't feel like doing the actual work to get it working, why don't you get involved in the threads where they are talking about issues, and help out the ones that ARE doing the work. Jump on IRC and give them a heads up on how you fixed it so they can put release it for everyone to use.
And your sig says your on an LG-D801, so nothing here would work for your phone anyway!
Yeah.. i tried once and got stuck at the part to download sources... but thats not hat i mean. Im asking this. Because devs said that once a kernel and sourco came out they would make a patch. Obviously something is different for us that this patch hasn't been possible for us... if it was as simple as they thought it would have been done already.
But i dont think the recovery problems are delaying this. Or are they? Maybe they are to prevent bricks? But ive seen plenty of devs release either way with obvious disclaimers only for advanced users.

You obviously missed my point. The point was, if it was possible with the current state of the phone, there would be at least THREE out by now (stock rooted, Optimus, and d3rp). Since you don't see those 3 released yet, that means that there are other issues. So if you can fix those issues, let the community know how to fix them. If you can't fix the issues, then be patient and realize that all threads like this do is annoy the people that are working hard trying to fix them. Because it comes off as being very ungrateful and demanding of people that are volunteering their time to make things better for everyone. If you can help, do it. If you can't help, be patient.
Update. I memtioned that im on justiins rom, well thats because i use my ls980 for tmobile. Well i decided to flash cloudyproii 1.2 after following the autoboot instuctions specified by the person who uploaded the zvc tot. And saw no harm so i backed up everything and wiped everything and flashed cloudy then flashed s avocas ls980 kernel then autoboot again. Then i had to wipe cache again and it boot up. And its running great. The only thing is i cant currently record at 120fps or 4k.... but this rom is great.

I was really wanting a custom rom, but with the xposed modules and Furnace kernel, i'm getting most of just about all the customization I'd get anyway.
The thing is that with the Sprint rom it is so much hassle to use with gsm. That's why I used Justin's first. And now this cloudyproii. Rom is great.

Using Justin's, and working in gsm mode. Probably made it so you can use the cloudy pro 2. Sprint users can't use it yet as it isn't altered to work with us.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
Justins had nothing to do with it. Its just that cloudyproii doesnt have cdma support so it defaulted to gsm.
I actually flashed the zvc tot to upgrade so i was using sprint, then flashed cloudyproii... i just had to flash an ls980 kernel and then autoboot.

so how is CloudyPro working for you after you flashed it. does it work well enough for a daily driver?
Sent from my Sprint LG G2 using Tapatalk
Its great. Totally a DD. But obviously only for GSM... im using it on tmobile. Its better than justins rom because i have the custom goods. The only things not working are NFC and the 4K and 120FPS but i ddnt have them before either...

CloudyPro 2 doesn't show support for ls980. How did u get it to work? What version did u flash in recovery?
Sent from my LG-LS980 using xda app-developers app
It doesnt show support because there is no CDMA software... and since I use tmobile i selected d801 in aroma

And after flashed ls980 kernel and autoboot

Can this be done with other roms? I use t mobile also. Can I flash any 801 rom as long as I change the kernel?

Well I tried cloudy pro because its for multiple variants... I think if you try a d801 specifically it will probably say that your phone isn't a d801 and it probably won't. let you...

Hello,
German User here. Today we recive via lg bridge Android 6.0.
The question is should i Update or wait ?
Because i did Not Root and the Bootloader is still locked ( i dont know wich Version i have, how can i See this ?).
Is it after the Update still possible to Root without unlocked Bootloader ?
Gesendet von meinem LG-H815 mit Tapatalk
Nope no way german user xD look at android-hilfe.de there you can find answers
Gesendet von meinem LG-H815 mit Tapatalk
It is impossible to root Android 6.0 without undlocking bootloader. You need a custom kernel to root 6.0.
Might as well update. Bootloader unlock is most likely not gonna happen.

Yes, but with Lollipop we have root. I know I won't update to MM, because I prefer to have root.

I wanna have root, but without a sure fire way for me to go back to stock, it's almost a moot point for me (I have sprint)... But ymmv

I have to say Marshmallow fixed a lot of problems for me. I'm on the SEA variant so i could not unlock my bootloader anyway my phone started one day just lagging, being unresponsive, battery life got so bad it was going down while charging. I did a factory reset and all and still nothing. I decided i would flash the MM kdz just to see if that does anything for me. Boy oh boy it fixed everything for me. It is so stable, battery life is amazing, it like discharges 3-4% all night. It just so much smoother. You probably don't have any of the problems i had so if you really do not want to unlock the bootloader then I would just wait for root with locked bootloader but I have a feeling it will take quite a while
Good day all.
Simple questions..
1. Can I run cyanogenmod on my H815P?
I'm already running a flashed rooted copy of international from the low effort root thread..
2. Is it a possibility to get a cm rooted rom to flash w/o bootloader and recovery?
Thank you all in advance.

Without bootloader unlock it is not possible.
@rodrickmuir, I'm also trying to find a way to do that. Are you in South Africa too?

Discuss, the original genisys rom or the updated one etc. And why?
I'd be really interested in knowing your opinions.

With an unrooted and locked phone, I'm wondering what else you could use except original rom?
