For those who have flashed TWRP from AutoRec on Stock 4.4.2 Rom, please let me know.
I need to ask something from you guys.
I used AutoRec. I haven't flashed a ROM I have made 2 backups and flashed a kernel. What do you need to know. My opinion however is AutoRec is absolutely the smartest most effective route to date! ?
Currently I have the same set up. Stock ZVD and used Autorec to flash TWRP. Which works perfectly fine, my only issue is that when flashing any ROM I'm stuck in a boot loop. Its a clean flash. I wipe system, data and the caches. So what am I doing wrong. So far I've tried CM11, AOKP, Affliction ROM, and also PAcman all resulting with a bootloop of the LG logo.
Cm, aokp and oyhwt non stock ROMs require zv8 radio. Affliction was zvd based but should work even with zvc radio.

Hi there, I am not new to installing Roms in any way but I accidentally installed a d2lte Liquid smooth ROM instead of what my phone is, a d2att. So when installing the above ROM I did everything what I was supposed to do (clean install, format system). However, whenever I go on any ROM (Such as Quantum or Omni) I get an error as soon as it boots up, and my signal keeps turning on and off. I wiped data, cache and dalvik twice and go to a new ROM and the problem persists. For some odd reason, Carbon ROM works but I need a different one due to battery drain. I've never experienced this problem ever and I was hoping someone could please help me out?
Have you tried re-flashing the modem?

Yes i tried that earlier but still no luck. It's weird though how there was no problem on carbon rom and yet there was a problem when i went back to the Quantum Rom. Something happened on the LiquidSmooth Rom but i don't know what. I will again try reflashing the modem though thank you.
EDIT: Re-flashing modem did not help
Is it possible to use Odin to get back to a completely stock rom? If you have a 4.3 bootloader, you can't use Odin to flash a stock ROM.
A way to get back to a stock ROM for those on the MJB bootloader has been provided by enewman17. See AT&T I747 UCUEMJB Stock Restore in the development forum.
What am I missing? Every time I flash CM it just bootloops at the LG screen. I've flashed before so I'm very familiar with the usual stuff. I downloaded CM from CMs website, the most recent nightly, for my ls980. I'm running TWRP 2.7.0.0 for ls980.
I've heard of things being "lokified". I tried flashing through flashify which I heard "lokifies' files if needed. I'm not sure though.
Only thing I can see is that maybe my file isn't lokified? Anything I am missing?

Never mind, I figured it out. apparently the compatible kernels aren't bundled in the zip? Every other device I have used had the kernel included. If I am wrong please clarify. Also, is there a list of kernels/radios for my device somewhere that say what they support?
Never mind guys it is still not working. I am flashing the Rom, the Gapps, the KK aosp modem and a kernel made for aosp.

did you ever solve this i need help flashing roms too.
Are you using the zv8 modem.IMG if not that can cause bootloop also be sure to wipe cache/dalvik
I could never get CM, PA, or PAC to work. I just installed Slimkat rom with no problem. You might need to update your TWRP as well, I think it has been updated since 2.7.0.0 to 2.7.0.2? If I am not mistaken.
Okay, so I think I understand all this, but help me out anyways please. I know that once you take the ZVA OTA you can't easily flash an AOSP ROM like CyanogenMod, and this is because something in ZVA (the radio?) patched Loki, right? So what has to be changed (if anything besides going back to ZV to be able to flash an AOSP ROM? And after doing whatever that is, can I then use Nandroids and Titanium to switch between, say CyanogenMod and the original software that came on my phone? Thanks, just trying to understand how it all works.
Your best option is to tot to zva, put recovery, flash your cm.

Ugh but tot'ing is such a PITA
Aosp are in zva radio firmware. Current is zvc radio with zvd firmware.

Okay so if I .TOT back to LS980ZVA, root with ioroot, put TWRP on with AutoRec, then make a backup and flash CyanogenMod, wipe dalvik, system, cache, and data, I should have CyanogenMod? Then will I be able to restore to that backup to be on the LG software?

Okay, last night I downloaded the LS980ZVA_01.TOT from StorageCow and reset back to stock.
Download LS980ZVA_01.TOT
Open LGFlashTool
Open .DLL and .TOT
Put LS980 into Download Mode
Start LGFlashTool process.
Plug in LS980
Phone is flashed to stock ZVA
Run ioroot
Phone is rooted
Download AutoRec and Install
Run AutoRec to install TWRP recovery
Go into TWRP, make backup
Wipe System, Dalvik Cache
Wipe Data, Cache
Install cm-11-20140810-NIGHTLY-ls980
Wipe Dalvik & Cache
Install ls980_noOC-simple-v5 (dr87's Kernel)
Reboot
Get "LG Security Error"
I tried this in several different combinations from wiping dalvik and cache to not, to flashing Kernel and not, etc. none worked, and when I restored my backup, I was stuck in a black screen boot loop (just notification LED changing colors). So help me out here, please. I'd like to be able to switch easily between CyanogenMod and LG software. I know that I can get CM on ZV8, but I kinda want my Spark.
Can't have your cake and eat it too unfortunately. ZV8 you must go

You need ZV8 modem, and you cannot flash Simplekernel onto CM11. There's not any stable kernels on Cm11 except for the CM11 kernel that is bundled.
Thanks. I finally just .TOT'd back to ZV8 and installed CM11 that way. Ugh that was a pain in the arse.

yea i spent 3 days doing this and bricked my phone bad by nor remembering to flash the kernel and not knowing about the zv8 radio.
i have read other post about the radio and it seems to throttle the speeds of your data more than anything
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/93947-which-radio-to-flash-for-latest-nightly-ls980/.
BTW for others reading you do not have to tot to zv8 just need to flash the zv8 modem.zip along with the ROM and gapps
So, I have stock zvd backup, but when I restore it, I'm stuck in boot loop. Currently on CM 11 with zv8. What do I need to do to boot into my previous stock zvd backup?
Try re flashing the zvd radio had same problem but with a cm11 backup reflashed the zv8 radio and booted no problem

I tried flashing just the ZV8 modem ZIP with ROM and GApps and it never worked. Tried several times. Had to .TOT no matter what. I spend basically a month with a new phone because I had to .TOT so many times from trying just about everything I could. Could you post exactly what you did to be able to just flash the ZV8 modem?

Cm 11 -here
I prefer Snapshots
Zv8 Radio -Here
This link jumps straight to the download thanks to Zack Miller
Full gapps - here
Thanks to the Cyanogenmod Devs
My Setup
1. Sprint LG G2 LS980_ZVC_12.tot
2. TWRP v2.7.0.0 as custom recovery
Make sure that your .zip files (gapps, cm11, zv8 radio) are in the root of internal storage.
Boot to recovery and create a backup of system, boot, and data
Then do a wipe
Then you can (install) flash your .zip files, you can flash multiple at once
Select the cm11.zip first then the zv8radio.zip then the gapps.zip
Swipe to flash
Wipe dalvik/cache
Reboot make take up to 10 mins for cm11 to boot the first time
Reverse
Can I restore my backup, flash the most current radio (I'm assuming still ZVC) and restore to revert back to my stock LG setup?
Hi Folks,
I flashed Lollipop on to my M7 a while back, and am now looking to go back to Kit Kat. I have tried flashing CM 10 stable, Slim Rom..and one other Rom, with no luck. I boot into recovery, wipe, install...and TWRP just sits there spinning with the install at 0. I then have to restore my nandroid backup in order to use my phone. I have not tried flashing a sense based roms yet. What am I missing here? Any ideas?
Thanks,

What recovery are you using? It's been a while since I flashed anything AOSP but I have had that exact problem recently with sense roms if my recovery version didn't like whatever I was trying to install. I tried nusense with the newest official TWRP at the time and it kept hanging, but it worked after I flashed santod's unofficial TWRP. Then when I tried flashing stock deodex, the same unnoficial one kept choking. So I reverted back to the newest official and it worked fine.
To add a little more to what BranC85 posted. The whole by name partition vs mount point is probably the main problem here. also CM10 is jellybean and not Kit Kat.
if you want cm11 : https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=m7vzw&type=snapshot
if you want cm10: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=m7vzw&type=stable
as for recovery, i would suggest this: http://mdmower.cmphys.com/twrp-m7vzw/
specifically this build: twrp-2.8.6.4-m7univ.img (12 MB) (beta) it seems to work with mount point and by naming.
anyone have link custom rom for m7 802d?
I need some help guys. I rooted. And flashed a new ROM on my lg g3. I flashed two different ROMs and completely formated my phone both times. But every time I flash a ROM my screen gets this weird split down the middle and both sides are offset. Any reason why this is happen and if so what can I do to fix this?
I'm just going to bump this because I have the exact same issue with my Verizon G3.
For me it happens on first startup every time. Once you lock and unlock the screen it goes away.

It has to do w/ the LP 20e/g bootloader combined w/ AOSP and CM ROMs. I haven't tried it myself, but apparently by flashing a KK bootstack, the split screen/misalignment issue is fixed. You can find the 10r KK bootstack here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/development/rom-tmo-d851-lollipop-20b-stock-t3096479
If you want to retain TWRP, then it will need to be flashed after flashing the bootstack.zip

Did clean wipe, then flashed the 10R KK bootstack, then flashed my favorite 5.1.1 custom ROM (Exodus) + gapps, and the phone fails to boot, so I'm missing something.
If anyone can detail the exact steps to fix this glitch, would be most appreciated.
