Made this from the new 80220f open EUR kdz.
This is the complete LG KK 20f ROM - nothing missing or messed with.
You can flash SuperSU and get root if you wish - your choice.
I provide this assuming you have an understanding of the terminology used below and appreciate that any flashing activity has some risk.
I strongly advise against using any form of restore from previous backups, such as TB or Nandroid.
Once the process is complete, custom recovery will be lost.
Method:
Download both the ROM zip file linked below and SuperSU zip file (if you want root) and copy to your SD card.
You need to be already on Rooted JB, Rooted KK or PURE CM11 with either TWRP 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 or TWRP 2.7.0.0 (nothing else).
Reboot to TWRP recovery
Wipe: System, Data, Cache. Dalvik (nothing else)
Flash the ROM zip - ignore any "FAIL" warnings.
Wipe Cache and Dalvik (nothing else)
Go to the Mount page in TWRP and select System (leave the other defaults alone)
Flash the SuperSU zip - ignore any "FAIL" warnings
Reboot
Done
Don't use AutoRec to flash TWRP - you will lose Knock code.
Alternatively - if you have flashed TWRP on another KK Stock ROM (using AutoRec), you can full wipe (not SDCard) and flash this directly without going back to JB.

if we just edit the updater script and remove the recovery partition , our recovery wont be wiped just note that you should never take any OTA while u have custom recovery.

Yes,you will lose your custom recovery if you install this stock rom. But don't care about it.You may use AutoRec and your recovery will be back :good:
Edit : Hmm i think knock code will unusable if we flash TWRP with AutoRec.
Edit 2 : Aarghh i misunderstood. After using AutoRec and we will install any kernel with knock code support.
Flashing this rom is basically just a means of going back to stock. Of course you can use autorec to recovery and then flash a custom kernel to get knock code back, its up to you what you want out of this.

If i'm not wrong,the alternative method is not addicted to keep custom recovery. The custom recovery (whatever you have) won't be there after flashing this rom all the way mate.:good:

Precisely!
If someone already has Custom Recovery, and isn't overly bothered about preserving it, then this is potentially quicker and easier that then kdz method. And with easy root. Big plus point.
If you want a completely Stock experience of course.
What we don't know is how much development LG have done with the kernel. So, if one uses Autorec, any benefits of a later LG stock kernel will be lost.
Enjoy!
I am on v20d stock kit kat rooted with ioroot. D802 model. Does this flashabel rom include bootloader? Cause to have a custom recovery, I will have to use autorec app, which will dowgrade my bootloader. So will this rom work if the recovery has been flashed with autorec?
And also flashing this rom means that stock recovery will be flashed too?
I installed this 20f. it corrects problems ratio with slimport on small screen.
Just updated to D80220F. I can confirm that there is a Google Folder pre created. Havent noticed much else yet. will keep you updated.
Whole system feels super fast. Is it just me or is this faster than 802D/802B?
Knock on seems more reliable. Senses it way better and ignores ghost touches better.. Auto brightness seems to be managing brightness better too.
i have twrp 2.7.0.0 custom recovery, and i'm on d802b firmware (kk stock) with dorimanx kernel...
just 1 question to be sure (because i didn't quite get the OP):
- will i lose twrp if i flash this zip? (if yes, how do i get custom recovery back and safely?)
thanks in advance
Not option for ART
---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------
60nine yes you lose twrp. It is for return to official.
ok, thanks... and how do i get twrp back? is it even possible?
on that matter - can "recovery.bin" from this zip be replaced by custom recovery .bin file?

Can you make a tutorial or write it down how you did it??? Because I wan't stock rom but don't want to lose recovery....
First root, and autorec for instal recovery. But you need a custom kernel .
---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------
read a little before
ok, so autorec works for 20f... all i wanted to know... (i don't care for knock code, i just want knock on to work)
the OP was a bit confusing - maybe it needs to be updated with a basic FAQ...
if anyone tried to flash this, then used autorec for custom recovery and flashed latest dorimanx 5.7 kernel - please confirm if knock on works (not knock code)
thanks in advance
Not kernel just autorec

So I have to admit I am pretty overwhelmed but the amount of information. So I wanted to find out from the community what do I do now.
My RAZR my is rooted, boot loader unlocked and on stock KK 4.4.2. I have no idea how to get the customer recovery on my phone the forrest ways as I have seen it many different ways. SO how it it I get TWRP on my device now. Once I do, is that how I install a rom? Will that wipe the stock one?
Easiest way to flash TWRP is through an app called "Flashify," which is found on the Google Play store. Download the correct version (TWRP 2.7.1.0 works well on the KK build) in ZIP format. Save to your phone. Open Flashify, backup your current recovery, and choose the new TWRP to flash. Reboot and see the new recovery.
In the new recovery, perform a full backup, throw it on your computer for safe keeping. There are a select few ROMs that work on the 3.4 kernel that the KK build uses, so if you would like to be opened to all the other ROMs, find the 98.30.1 update and flash it using your favorite method. After you flash back to the update, reinstall TWRP if it is gone, and then have fun.
To flash a ROM, just throw the ZIP file on your phone for your ROM, boot into TWRP and choose to install, and select the file(s) to flash. This does wipe the stock one. Perform a nandroid backup to save it.

Thanks for this, it makes things much clearer. I noticed in the flashify app that you can flash bot rims. DO I have to do that too? or is it just the recovery that I need to worry about?

I'm not sure what you're saying, but recovery is the important thing. Just flash ROMs through recovery. Read directions for each ROM before you do so as well. Most require wiping the System partition at the least, but it's best to do a factory reset (via TWRP) before an install. Backup your data with Titanium.

Sorry, I was trying to say in Flasify, there is the option to flash a boot and recovery image. I was asking if I had to do both.

Boot image, I believe, is just the logo your phone displays when you first turn it on (think: red M, or after you unlock, the bootloader warning). Just the recovery is the important part.

Hello, first time poster here!
I bought Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160 and I want to flash CM 11 on it, because the stock Samsung's ROM is very bloated and slow.
I am looking at CM 11 from NovaFusion, which can be found novafusion.pl website.
I have currently downloaded:
cm11.0_codina.nova.20141215.zip
pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20150106-signed.zip
I chose pico gapps because I want as less bloat as possible (only actually need Play Store).
The problem is, I don't know what to do next...
Now, I have a few questions:
Can I just flash CM trough the stock/default recovery mode that is already on the phone?
Can I use Odin to flash CM? If so, where is a trusted Odin download?
How do I restore the stock ROM that came with the phone if something goes (terribly :silly wrong?
Is it possible to reset flash counter and any other traces of root & custom ROMs on this phone in case I want to return it to warranty?
I added the "About device" info in the attachment!
1. flash it trough cwm temporary
2. no, you can't. novafusion didn't release Odin package for codina now.
3. backup your stockrom using cwm temporary
4. flashing rom trough cwm not increase flash counter

Can you link me to CWM for this phone?
Also, how does the "temporary" mode work? Does it load up recovery from the microSD card? Just curious.

1. Well, I think the stock recovery doesn't allow you to install zip from sdcard. That's why we use CWM instead (plus it does more things than stock recovery). I recommend CWM
2. No, Custom ROM should be flashed through CWM, I think...
3. You can backup your current ROM (includes apps installed) through CWM and if something goes wrong, you can easily restore it from CWM again. BUT, if somehow you can't get to CWM, you can use ODIN to flash stock ROM and your phone should be back to its original state
4. Yup, it can be done from CWM or ODIN.. same method as in my 3rd answer
PS. I only gave answers to stuff I've done before.. basically, my answers are based on self-experience hope it helps!

Mm.. from what I remember... Temporary CWM will not replace your stock recovery, and you will need to flash the CWM everytime you want to get into CWM Recovery .-.

Here : Temporary CWM.
Thank you everyone, I got CM 11 working easy and nice! :good:
Also, looks like the NovaFusion CM 11 ROM did something to the recovery, now it always boots to CWM even without a microSD card.
Does that mean that I can't get back to old recovery? Can I just flash stock ROM and get it back?
P. S. everything is so damn fast and smooth compared to stock ROM!!!

Yes, Custom ROMs like CM 11 have CWM Recovery or TWRP instead of Stock Recovery because they have functions such as backup your system and more. If you really want to have Stock Recovery then you have to flash Stock ROM using Odin.

Okay, first, you may want to try flash the v10g version of the stock ROM because it's the best starting point for flashing the custom ROM on lg ogp device. Follow the instructions in the link below and you should be good. I don't know why someone would tell you to use the towel root with the stock v20 rom because a lot of time it doesn't root properly. The instructions you were originally gave were to root with the towel root and then install the busy box so you can use the freegee. With the freegee you can install either cwm or twrp custom recovery. Once you have the custom recovery, reboot into the recovery and then flash philz custom recovery because it's better than the freegee's. Philz recovery is optional if you don't feel like you need it, it just has more bell and whistle, that is all. You can flash the custom ROM with either custom recovery, philz or freegee. However, I'm more concern with you trying to root with the v20 stock ROM, because you will likely run into many issues. So be sure to read the guide I give you first.

Hey! thanks for the replay! I just got one helper because the rom guy didn;t want to help me so the others.Only 1 guy wanted to give me hints and I managed to install this stock rom.
So you're saying that I have wrong rom installed?
Do I have to really instal other rom or can I do it on mine but in other way to root it and process it so as to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/development/mar-0-lollipop-g-pro-v1-t3043779 or not?
I'm all confused,just wanted to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/development/mar-0-lollipop-g-pro-v1-t3043779
but whole day passed and nothing was done U.Ux
Read the guide I give you.
Managed to root my phone by iRoot.
Now I tried install busybox but after I hit install: "it looks like the instalation of busy box was not successful try installing to different location that may resolve the issue"....
any tips?
If you can't install the busy box, that usually has something to do with the root. That's the reason I said not to use the v20 stock ROM as the starting point. The only reason you need the busy box is the freegee, you can install the recovery without using freegee, but you have to search around XDA first because freegee opens up the boot loader, which is also the reason you can't just flash the recovery with the lg flash tool. You may have to flash v10g version of the stock ROM.
Ok I'm in philz menu.Someone said that all I need is to install(ANY) rom and kernel-how I do it? I want http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/development/mar-0-lollipop-g-pro-v1-t3043779
Have you used a custom recovery before? Down load both rom and kernel installing files to a directory that you prefer, usually some where on your external sd disk. Once you get the files, go to philz recovery and press install zip, find the directory where the installing files are located, press on them, and it should install the rom. If you have never done this before, remember to factory or clean install the rom. On philz recovery, there is a function call installing a new rom under factory reset section, use that every time you're installing a new rom.

Dear XDA Members,
I currently run stock 5.1.1 (14.6.A.1.236) with no modifications whatsoever and a locked bootloader.
I would like to install a custom rom (PAC-ROM LP-MR1 5.1.1) on my Z1C.
I did some research and these are the steps i came up with:
1. install sdk and drivers
2. unlock bootloader
3. fastboot flash recovery "fota.img" (shouldn't it specify somehow that i need it to be flashed on the fota partition?)
4. factory reset/wipe
5. install custom rom + gapps
Coming from a locked bootloader a fully stock phone is there anything else i need to do like a new bootloader or something?
Also I'll be doing it through Win 10 64bit, I hope that isn't a problem.
Any advice will be highly appreciated.
Thank you very much

First things first... Root. If you already did that then you're on the right track.
1. If you're not doing major development stuff, don't install the whole sdk. See here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118 There may be issues you'll have to work with on newer versions of Windows. I haven't done it on anything later than 7. Keep in mind, though, that you won't need the computer to flash your boot img or rom, but you will need it to unlock the bootloader.
2. -
3. You can do this with an app called Rashr on your phone with root. Just download a recovery img, then open Rashr and follow the instructions.
4-5. Boot into recovery, full wipe, (system data and caches), flash rom zip and gapps zip. Maybe best to not flash more than that at once to start, in case there's a problem and you have no way to figure out what it is.
BTW, PacMan is a great choice. I've been using it for months.

Thanks a lot for your reply.
I was reading on the cyanogen mod wiki how-to for our phone and it doesn't require a prior root.
I did those steps on my xperia m and it worked and i had never rooted it, the only difference is that i flashed cyanogen recovery and install cm12 which basically roots the phone and then flashed fota recovery.
Should i go this way again to gain root or would you recommend an easier root method for my stock build which is the newest.
If you recommend another root method when should it occur? prior unlocking the bootloader or afterwards?
Thanks
If this is your first time unlocking your bootloader, make sure you backup your DRM-Keys! You need to be rooted for that.
They are lost when bootloader gets unlocked. Some features in regards of camera performance are lost for example.

True, if bl is unlocked, then you can flash the kernel and recovery via fastboot, then flash your rom. You may need the boot.img from your rom zip file. Then use commands 'fastboot flash boot' for the boot img, and 'fastboot flash recovery' for recovery. If you're rooted already, you can just do it on the phone.

Should be fine. It's also a 1 second operation to extract boot.img from your rom zip, which you need already downloaded and on your SD card before you flash imgs. You might even be fine without flashing the boot img - can't hurt to try. Just flash the recovery and reboot and see if you get a purple light. Then, volume button changes purple to orange, and you're in recovery. Some recoveries don't work with some kernels, (been my experience).

I have only used xzdr with stock rom. I think in the past I've had it not work for me on CM, so I just stick to straight twrp by default. I know NUT has always been hard at work and has made steady improvements, so maybe not an issue now. Personally I realized that I only need 1 recovery anyway. There's a newer Twrp here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/twrp-v2-8-6-0-f2fs-z1-z1c-z2-z3-z3c-t3098573
One important fact that has already been probably mentioned is that installing custom roms on your XPERIA will worsen your camera, esp the front one. Keep this in mind.

KINDLY HELP ME....!!
There is no need to root a phone before installing a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP.
I would use TWRP in place of CWM as CWM is no longer being developed.
If you install Cyanogen recovery, it will replace your existing recovery. I find TWRP to be more flexible that Cyanogen recovery.
LP Cyanogen is cm13 and you should use TWRP to install cm13 ROMs. The AT&T s3 i747 is also known as the d2lte and d2att. ROMs designed for either of these two devices will work on your phone (although maybe not 100%). There is no official CM13 ROM for the s3.
@audit13 , just a quick question ; (because am certainly not as up to date with the wonderful s3) but isnt cm13 MM ? or am i wrong:what:

My bad, yes, MM is CM13, LP is cm12.1. Thanks for catching my mistake
I guess I'm spending too much time bouncing between the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Note 3, s3, and s4 forums!
I came across the different threads about bootloader...i have the bootloader version (I747UCUFNE4).Is that safe to flash the CM-12.1-20160212-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip on my above specified device without bricking my device????
Cm does not touch the bootloader or modem so you should be fine but there is always the chance the something else goes wrong.

somethng what??????????
Power failure, corrupted file, phone becomes disconnected during s flash, etc.
how is it that i use CWM touch recovery to flash above said lollipop and its image....?is it ok for me to do so???can i choose both the above said cm-12.1-20160212-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip and cm-12.1-20160212-NIGHTLY-d2att-recovery.img at same time to install lollipop on my d2att??
I am saying CWM touch recovery because TWRP manager hangs installing the latest recovery on my device may b it is because of i use ROM manager firstly to install the latest CWM recovery?
please give the guide of simple steps on this thing......
waiting anxiously for your kind reply.....!!:fingers-crossed:

you should use TWRP to install cm13 ROMs

@ audit13
i believe what @audit13 said was CWM is no longer being developed. twrp recovery is preferred by most people because they are still making it better. CWM hasnt an update in years.
also if you currently have cyanogen recovery it will be wiped by flashing either CWM or twrp.
yes you can use CWM to install CM12. but again ; twrp has more options and most people prefer it.
so ..... i personally would use twrp to install anything before i used cwm.
remember to make a backup of current setup just in case something goes wrong so that you can still have a working phone.
