Today I want to teach you how to update the LG G2 to Android 5.0 Lollipop unofficially through one of the first Roms based on the experimental work of Cyanogenmod 12. A Rom that, although it is in a very early stage, is fully functional and does not have any type of bug worth mentioning.
The adaptation work of this Android Lollipop rom based on Cyanogenmod 12, has been carried out by the team of EvoMagix, a cook and member of the HTCMANIA Android development forum. From here to thank you for the sensational work and tell you that we will be attentive to the development of this Rom and possible updates.
Before we start with the necessary files and the flashing method, I must inform you that everything that I have been able to test so far works perfectly and without any type of bug that is worth emphasizing. The only serious bug that I can mention so far is the occasional forced closure of the Documents application.
As for the Wifi, Bluetooth and data network connections work perfectly, even giving native support to 4G networks. The concept of the camera has been greatly improved with the inclusion of the original google camera to the detriment of Cyanogenmod's own camera, which is undoubtedly a great success since the camera application takes very high quality photographs.
Required files
- Rom Evomagix Android 5.0 Lollipop based on Cyanogenmod.
- Gapps Google Android 5.0 Lollipop.
- Super SU 2.23.
- Baseband D802, modem to solve the rotation problem.
- TWRP Recovery 2.8.1.1
Once all the files are downloaded, we will copy to the Sdcard of the LG G2 international model D802, let's reboot in Recovery Mode and we are going to proceed to follow the flashing instructions that I explain below to the letter and without skipping any step.
Flash Method of the Rom Android 5.0 Lollipop for the LG G2 International model
Already rebooted in Recovery Mode, it should be the Logically modified recovery, we will follow these installation instructions.
The first thing we are going to do is update Recovery to version 2.8.1.1, for this from the option install We are going to select the ZIP file of the TWRP downloaded previously, Once flashed, which is a matter of seconds, we are going to go to the option reboot and we will select Reboot into Recovery Mode.
Once restarted we will have the new Recovery TWRP from which we will have to follow these steps:
- We go to the option Wipe, then Advanced Wipe and we do a Wipe everything except the internal memory sdcard.
- Now we go to the option install and select the zip from the Rom Android 5.0 Lollipop from EvoMagix and flashed it.
- We return to the option install and select the Baseband K.K. and we flash it.
- We return to the option install and select the Gapp's Lollipop and we flash them.
- Finally we return once more to the option install and select the SuperSU and we flash it.
- Now we can select the option Wipe dalvik and cache and we reboot the system.
The terminal will take approximately one ten minutes to fully reboot, so do not despair and be patient. Once it restarts, you will be able to see all the Material Design aspect of this new version of Android 5.0 Lollipop.
