can anyone say me how to do this???

first of all, make sure your lgog is rooted and unlocked.
then follow the instruction from the thread.. flash the ROM first, then flash the kernel.
but I would suggest you don't do it because by looking at your post, I don't think you know anything about what you intended to do.
read more about custom roms and kernel before trying, don't regret later when you brick your phone..

First, you have to root and unlock your phone. You can skip the flash steps TWRP.
Next, download the file and put 2 Pacman rom and kernel Kite V16 in memory.
Now, reboot the phone and Recovey mode.
wipe done 3 times. Then flash ROM and Kernel 2 files.
Reboot and enjoy.

I suggest using cwm or cwm touch. Twrp gives errors sometimes.

try your luck in kite kernel thread, maybe someone have done similar things like what you did and have a solution for that.
I have no idea as I am still using the stock rom and haven't have the intention to flash my phone yet, so din't do much research on it.
Still the same advice, make sure to read & search before start doing anything. Cry won't help when you bricked your phone.

here's how. (my device is locked BL)

1.Backed up my TA Partition
2.Flashed the official .569 ftf using flashtool
3.Unlocked my ZL's bootloader
4.Flash this kernel to get recovery (thanks Minthun46) http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=700#downloads extract the boot.img and flash it using fastboot or flashtool (fastboot mode)
5.Flash Supersu fix zip and dual recovery (thanks NUT) SUPERSU fix.zip http://nut.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=U3VwZXJTVV9maXg=

FOR UNLOCKED BL

VOILA!!! device is now rooted and has working recovery
PS
Will only work for ZL that can be bootloader unlock.
Hit thanks if it helps you.

Don't put Locked BL in the title, you only managed to root because your phone was unlockable. Putting Locked BL in the title states that your bootloader can also be locked for this method to work, and but unless your ZL can be bootloader unlocked, this method cannot be used for locked BL

[How-To][Tutorial] Downgrade Kit Kat 4.4.2 to JB 4.1.2

Hi,
I am just writing these steps to help those who want to downgrade from KK to JB due to any reason. Please use these steps at your own risk.
Some Background:
Recently I updated my Razr M to KK, it was Locked and Unrooted, but with the help of Twelroot and Motopocalypse I rooted and unlocked the BL.
Now somehow I didn't like the KK and wanted to go back to JB 4.1.2 because I was now having unlocked BL and rooted phone so it was easy but need to follow some steps to successfully downgrade to JB. So an unlocked BL and rooted with KK is must.
Prerequisite:
USB drivers for Razr M must be installed before proceeding.
Steps:
1. download the firmware file [Android 4.1.2
Blur_Version.98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US] from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8
2. extract the above archive and replace the XML file with the one in attachment.
3. put the phone into fastboot mode and flash the firmware with RSD Lite (attached)
4. reboot and now you have JB 4.1.2
If you want to install root application again and also want to flash custom recovery then please follow the Post#5 [ATTACK] (thanks ATTACK)
Note : for custom recovery you will need the fastboot.exe if you don't have it then install minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.1.3_setup.exe(attached).
Put the phone in fastboot mode, copy the recovery to c:\ and execute the below command :
fastboot flash recovery [Path to recovery image]
If it help you then don't forget to press Thanks button !

Forgive my ignorance but this won't downgrade the kernel will it? I'm hoping it's possible to go from the newest OTA to the stable CM11 but I'm guessing this is new kernel JB. Either way thanks if I can't go to stable CM11 I'll stick with rooted 4.1.2.

Once you have a unlocked bootloader, you do not need to use "root programs". All you need to do is flash a custom recovery via Mfastboot / fastboot then flash SuperSU / Superuser.
In dhacker29's folder there are 2 different recoveries.
"msm8960" is for 4.1.2
"KITKAT" is for 4.4.2

The steps are tested by my 2 times, and there shouldn't be any problem. Make sure you have installed the correct drivers.
Please ensure that your bootloader is unlocked and shows BL unlocked status code 3 on BL screen.

I was also able to successfully flash back to JB with House of Moto via fast boot and full data wipe. It would not work with Universal or Keep Data, had to do full data wipe. Just another alternative :good:

Thanks You Its a Success Downgrade From 4.4 stock > CM11 > Stock rom 4.1 Thank you so much !!!

For those undergoing the downgrade process in RSD Lite and it takes forever for it to finish and the system ends up without data/signal, you need to RSD Lite flash again in order to regain signal. I believe the flashing was sluggish due to the jump from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2 and the many changes that were reflashed.

We have a wiener!
Thank you so much for the guide. After a lot of trial and error (mostly error), I thought that I had bricked my lovely XT907. I finally restored KitKat by flashing the 4.4.2 firmware with the edited XML file (deleting lines with "Getvar", "var" and "oem" in them), then followed your guide to the letter and found myself with a perfectly functional phone once again. No more sticky fastboot loops or audio-related crashes for me!
Lovely guide - thanks again! :laugh:

Bump! for LG Optimus G

Im proud to present
Bump!​for LG Optimus G​
Hi OG community. Bump for Optimus G is here.
Now OG users can use Custom Roms & Recoveries on LG locked Bootloader with ease!​
What is Bump?
Its a kind of hack for LG Stock bootloader. We can call it new unlock method!
You can flash anything that's been Bump'd, and Bump'ing a boot/recovery image is easy to do.
Two things you need to have for flashing custom roms:
1. Custom kernel- 2.Custom recovery on LG locked bootloader?
Now both are possible
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to Bump Recovery & Boot(kernel) images?
Unfortunately the bump site is gone. But we can use the Bump tool instead (by mronly1love).
Download it from attachments.
Put "boot.img" into bump folder and run "bumped.bat"
or
open cmd and type: bump.exe boot.img or recovery.img
or
drag *.img on bump.exe and drop it
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Does it mean that we can flash CyanogenMod based Roms on Stock Bootloader?
Yes. I can confirm it since I've booted up with lollipop roms with no problem.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How about Custom Recoveries?
It works! Entered Philz touch & CWM touch on stock Bl easily.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to enter Recovery on stock Bootloader while Off?
Hardreset:
Turn off the phone. Press and hold power & volume down until you see first LG logo. While holding volume down ,Release Power & press-hold it again until you see the hardreset screen.
Now press power 2 times & the phone will enter to the Recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Won't it perform a factory/hard reset?
Yes & No:
If you have already flashed custom recovery, then there is no stock recovery to do that.
-You can enter to Philz touch & CWM this way safely.
-But not for TWRP v2.x.
Remember that TWRP will perform a factory reset(without wiping media(sdcard)) anytime you flash it!
-TWRP V3 doesn't perform factory reset anymore, but some versions of it don't work correctly, a working one built by dadi11 is here:
Bump-Folder
-Don't flash back LG Stock Recovery.
-So BACKUP YOUR ROM & PERSONAL DATA at least for first time entering to each Recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to Bump your CustomRoms?
You need to Bump the Boot.img, which is inside the CustomRom.zip
-- Extract the boot.img. Bump it. Replace it with the old one in the Rom.zip
or
-- Extract the "boot.img". Bump it. Copy your Bumped "boot.img" to the "Bumped_boot.zip" in attachments. Flash it after flashing the Rom.

Sometimes your phone continues to reboot into recovery (Mostly happens on Jellybean bootloader not Kitkat). Flashing this zip WILL fix the problem easily. Of course you can flash KDZ instead!

Although an unlocked bootloader is a better choice, Locked bootloader has it's own advantages for the ones who stay on stock based roms like myself...

That's only replacing an extracted & bumped boot file back in it's rom.zip which takes 30 secs (now your roms is signed-like G3 roms). This custom rom will bootup on both locked & unlocked bootloader.
Also no different it's stock based rom or cyanogen mod based.
The tool will only bump the boot. It does NOT change your boot.img

I've described everything clearly in the op.
Flash a bumped cwm or Philz touch & as long as you don't flash another unbumped Recovery, you don't need to be worry. No problem if you flash another recovery.zip in recovery If you've already bumped its recovery.img.

Confirmed working.
Using Sling Kahroba on locked BL.
Offline charging is working
Thanks for the tool!
Cheers,

Everytime we switch from one rom to another we have to bump the boot.img first before we flash through philz/cwm?

Once you bump the boot.img of a ROM (and added it on the ROM's zip), you can flash it on locked bootloaders. You don't have to bump it again if you want to re-flash it.
Just make sure that every ROM you will install on locked bootloaders is bumped. :good:

Do you really want me to provide my bootloader relocker from recovery?!
There you go! Don't flash bumped twrp. It will perform factory reset.
The zip itself does flash Philz & boot & everything

But consider the bootloader is from 20aOpenEU. It has been tested on 20A openeu many times. It MUST work on the other regions kdz... If anyone wanna use it, they must reply the result
Then I will provide my bootloader unlocker from recovery
Also do NOT copy
