Getting it to work..
I'll tell you what I did, try to follow from where you missed:
1. rooted using super one click method
2. Installed clockworkmod recovery (tenfars)
3. Installed recovery in Clockwork mod recovery
4. Rebooted in recovery by choosing the option in Clockworkmod recovery
5. flashed the Nordic 3.4.2.155 nandroid...
6. While rebooting press Power+Volume-
7. let RSD lite recognize your phone
8. Flash 3.4.2_155 fixed sbf...
9. Phone will boot into nordic 2.2
10. Install clockwork mod recovery again.
11. Reboot into recovery (step 4), install update from zip (barebones 1.4) and voila...
To install 1.5 I just flashed the 3.4.2_177 nandroid and then Barebones 1.5...
I believe you must have missed flashing the sbf...
Lemme know if you need more help, you can contact me on [email protected]... Contact me and I'll give you my number, if you need more help...

The Best Kernel To Flash On ParanoidAndroid?

Hi all, I'm searching the best kernel to flash it on the latest version of ParanoidAndroid. What kernel do you suggest me?

With ParanoidAndroid being a modded version of CM9, I'd say stock CM or whatever PA runs.

Using Fanco Kernel with Linaro 194 10pc 512
The speed is amazing and also the battery backup.
you can also use AirKernel 1.9 from here

Thanks very much, I think I'll try Franco kernel with Linaro.
Bye!

Oh no, I have flashed Linaro and my phone doesn't work! It go in bootloopand can't turn on it! Help me! How can I do??
P.s. Fortunately I can go in recovery and I remember I have an old backup! Problem solved (I think)

Enter your recovery, then either flash another kernel if you have one, or reflash whatever ROM you're using to get back the kernel or reapply your nandroid backup if you have one.
Back cover off
Battery out
Battery in
Press and hold the power button and volume up + down
In the fastboot menu, scroll to "recovery" with the volume keys and then finally press the power button to boot into the recovery.
The matter is most likely that your phone cannot handle the 10% static board overclock as in the kernel gautam_nexus had attached.

Just a question: when I am in recovery, can transfer some files from pc to nexus??

Currently, no. USB mass storage doesn't exist on the Nexus, and I have yet to see an option to enable MTP through clockworkmod.
EDIT: Wait, you can send stuff through ADB for sure provided you have ADB set up and working.
EDIT2: Say you wanna send file.txt (just an example), then you would do the following:
adb devices (to see if you actually have adb access)
adb push path-to-file.txt /mnt/sdcard/
EDIT3: Check my sig for drivers or how to set up something called knives and forks.

Ah ok, so I can't through recovery but there is another way. Ok thanks. So, coming back to my question, a GOOD kernel I can flash on Paranoid??
Please don't give me a dangerous kernel

I've been running it with the stock CM9 kernel for a few weeks (since before it changed to come with that in 1.4), and it was smooth, responsive, and good battery life. I have just (literally 30 minutes ago) decided to try CM-plus. No troubles so far....

I'd say GLaDOS kernel gets the job done on just abut any ROM.

[Q] CM11 Milestone 5 release date? / CM11 Milestone 4 bugs/known problems? Thanks

Hello,
My LG G Pad 8.3 currently has the recent OTA Android 4.4.2 upgrade, nothing rooted/modded etc... Can someone let me know please:
1. When is CM11 Milestone 5 being released for the LG G Pad 8.3? I notice M5 was out a whie ago for other devices.
2. What are the known bugs/problems with CM11 M4?
3. Is it better to use CM11 M4 or the latest CM11 Nightly? I'm after a stable release, less so new features.
4. Are these good upgrade instructions? - http://true-android.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/update-lg-g-pad-83-v500-to-android-442.html
Thank you

Is anyone able to help answer my questions please? Thanks

1) While the official CM11 did not do a M5 release, infected_ did an unofficial one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660676
2/3) Not sure about M4 but infected_ M5 and near latest nightly (4/18) broke wifi on my device. Maybe that's why the official maintainers skipped the M5 release. I'm currently running the latest Mahdi-Rom.

That's my worry. Even Cyanogenmod, which as I understand it has the highest quality control, it still breaks things.
LG's "attempt" at Android maybe pretty poor but at least everything works. Still CM11 isn't "Stable" yet.
* Is it worth waiting for a Release Candidate or Stable build or would you say M4 is stable? I appreciate probably tricky to answer. My concern is I go to all the effort and something crucial (like Wifi) no longer works. Currently my G Pad works perfectly (just using the poor LG software).
* I understand M4 is considered more stable than the latest Nightly right?
Thanks

Great, thanks, will do.

The CM team did a blog post on their release process. Google "cm-11-m4-post-release-items"
The reason why device maintainers don't do a M release for a device is often a judgement call since M releases are not just tagged/renamed nightlies as of CM11. A M4 was released so I would give that a shot.
LG software was just too different for me. I'd prefer for the OS (and hardware) to disappear so that I can focus on using the apps, and LG does its best to remind me I'm using its product.
I would just backup stock kernel and recovery with flashify before flashing TWRP and then backing up your stock rom in TWRP before flashing to anything else.

Thanks. That's a really useful blog in explaining what a Milestone release is. I'll give M4 a go. My only concern is I just know M5 will come out shortly after. I'm only intending to do this 1-2 times if I can help it, second time preferably being Stable.

True.
The only thing LG have added that's really much use is QPair and MySMS (free on Google Play) is better than that anyway. LG's G Pad interface needs refinement, the e-mail app is poor too. I don't mind OEM Android modifications as a general rule though. I'm perfectly happy with TouchWiz on my Galaxy S4.

You can go back by going to recovery and restoring your backup. If you backup your stock recovery in flashify, you can restore that too afterwards.
You may want to ask someone on the official or infected_ CM threads about the next RC/stable. However, the snapshots are pretty much monthly (within first two weeks of every month). So hopefully the maintainers decide to do the M6 release.

I probably do. I was thinking M5 for G Pad may still come but it's probably to late now. I'll wait to see if M6 appears before trying M4 now. M4 will be 2 months old by that point :-|

Hey, been runnig the M4 release for the last month, got an auto update to the m5, which ive been running for the last few weeks, been stable, no problems so far, no idea why the release isnt listed on the cyanogen site.

You usually override the stock recovery with TWRP (or CWM) before you reboot to recovery to backup then flash over your stock rom. In other words, you are backing up your stock rom through TWRP as your recovery, you've already lost your stock recovery. When you restore your stock rom, you will still have TWRP as your recovery. It may cause an issue if you try to install a future LG OTA update.
On the other hand, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can use stock recovery backups from other users.

Hey, no problems with wifi, I run Spotify with a set of bluetooth speakers off into problems, also no crashes or random reboots. I think it's def faster than stock rom and yes the standard buttons are sooo much better, but I think it's perceptibly slower compared to the nex 5, doesn't bother me though, il try post a benchmark later. Also flashify works great, it's not a substitute for Cwm or twrp, just let's you send and queue commands to recovery from an app, so u still need a custom recovery with it.

Antutu on cm11 m5, no other mods. looks pretty good! Interested to see the difference with stock rom? Could anyone post stock? Cheers!

Are you running AnTuTu 4.4? Did you restart the G Pad before you ran the test? (I did). As oddly my LG G Pad 8.3 (UK Wifi Only model) running Android 4.4.2 OTA from LG (no mod/root or anything) is higher -
p.s - I'd expect the Nexus 5 to be faster, it's got a newer generation Snapdragon CPU.

Second run: 26917
Third run: 26172

Yep antutu 4.4, consistently get 25200's, not much higher, even after a reboot run, interesting that stock scores higher!

Now CM11 M6 is out, I have a few questions please:
1. Should I first install Flashify to backup my Stock Recovery?
2. If so, where do I find Flashify?
3. Then ClockworkMod Recovery?
4. Then perform a Nandroid backup using ClockworkMod Recovery?
5. If I did want to Restore my Original Stock ROM, is it simply a case of going into Recovery and restoring it?
I want to be sure I can revert back to exactly how my LG G Pad is now before installing CM11 M6. If I end up doing this, I'm overly bothered if I need to Factory Reset after/before restoring the stock image though.
Thanks

1) Always good idea to backup everything. If you backup your stock recovery before installing a new recovery image, it makes going back to full stock easier.
2) It's on the app store.
3) I don't think CWM supports this tablet anymore. Use TWRP 2.7.0.1
4) Yes, backup your system, data, and boot, then do a factory reset (in TWRP), and then flash the new rom.
5) Yes. Then if you want to restore the stock recovery (if you backed it up), do it through flashify.

Here's the exact process I went through (I posted it somewhere awhile ago). Keep in mind I came from stock 4.2.2. If you come from stock 4.4.2, you need to use the ioroot method to root.
0) Download custom rom, twrp, and gapps to SD card
1) Rooted it using Kingo Android Root
2) Installed flashify
3) Backed up stock recovery using flashify
4) Flashed TWRP recovery using flashify
5) Rebooted to recovery
6) Backed up boot, system, and data
8) Wipe data, cache, etc (factory reset)
7) Flashed custom rom then gapps
9) Wipe cache
10) Reboot
Restore
0) Reboot to recovery
1) If you want to backup your custom rom, back up boot, system, and data
2) Restore boot, system, and data from your stock backup
3) Wipe cache
4) Reboot
5) If you want to restore stock recovery, restore using flashify
6) If you want to unroot, either use the root tool or flash back to stock 4.2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51466025)

Yes I've upgraded my G Pad OTA from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2, so noted thanks. Do you have to root the G Pad? This guide doesn't mention it:

It even says: "NOTE: Root is turned off by default in CM ROMs". Although I see I'd need to root for Flashify anyway.

[Q] Which Recovey, CWM or TWREP?

I just run into a bad CWM boot loop today. Phone was on stocked rooted ATT 4.4 kitkat
I think I click the check update and download the official update. I never install it.( just download, never install)
For some reson the phone just boot into recovey (CWM 6.0.4.5) itself and won't boot normal.
It took me a while to find a fix ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49370751&postcount=70 ), and I DID fix my phone already!!!
Now I change my recovery back to TWRP( 2.6.3.0 from FreeGee) But Now I could NOT access my files in External SD card when in TWRP.
I just wonderiing if there is a way to use External SD when in TWRP, or other way to prevent CWM boot loop. in other words, which Recovery should I use to prevent boot loop as well as have access to external SD?
Thank you. Any idea would help

Cyanogenmod

So on the cyanogenmod website, they have cm11 nightlies and snapshot builds. However, there are no instructions. Do I need to have a lokified recovery? Or can I just install cwm. Other than that, its the basic flash ROM and gapps.

i have always flashed with freegees cwm, i think that is already lokified

Just install the recovery via freegee, then do a clean install.The gapp should be signed 4.3_kk. Once you install cm11, all the updates can be done through cmupdate or cyandelta if you're using the nightly.

FreeGee recoveries are lokified, but you have to be coming from stock 4.1.2 in order to use FreeGee.

Also the cwm on freegee needs to be Loki toggled in advanced within recovery or it will not install correctly.

Never had to toggle Loki either on freegee, it mention something like that in an message while I was using freegee. Installing cwm with freezer is quit simple, choose my recovery ,then cwm is installed. The rom manager can also be used to install an older version of the recovery (they try to make unaware user buy the newest version of cwm) , I didn't really discover that until I already used freegee
Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk

I used freegee to install cwm to use only once so I could install philz. Used philz to install cm 11. Everything works great so far. Battery life sucks. So I bought a spare battery and a battery dock.

The battery was bad for me as well when I first started to use cm11. I adjusted the CPU governor and turned off all the bell and whistle that I didn't need, nothing, the battery was draining quicker than I could charged, if that even made any sense. One day I soft bricked the phone, and had to reinstall. Did a clean install, and magically every thing was running smooth as butter. Even the abnormal batter drain was gone. I can only blame my previous battery issue on dirty ROM installation.
