Updates coming today!!! Bump released and yes it works for the Flex.

I need to run a release build of FF and make sure I got my ducks in a row. I will be updating the OP here shortly. ;)

and for all you inspiring devs, you can bump your own imgs too. Just visit http://apps.codefi.re/bump/

Bump would not be possible without the help and support of many people.

Doesn't work on my d955. :confused: Nothing happens after i press "Install twrp", except for the installing window showing for a fraction of a second and then closing . Are the servers down by any chance?

One question please. If you want to return on stock recovery you must flash the original kitkat?

Ok I deodexed the stock kit Kat. Pulled the boot.img and loaded it on the bumped website and got it back "bumped" zipped it with the deodexed system folders and the meta-inf folder and flashed. Said "successful but on reboot it says security error below the LG logo and then it powers off. I can get back to recovery and restore no problem. No issue there. But why am I getting a security error. It doesn't matter if I zip the original boot.img or the bumped one. It does the same. Even if I
Mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/

cp /sdcard/app/* /system/app/

Then, rm /system/app/*.odex

And same for the framework then
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
And reboot. I still get the security error.

that might be morningcall/wallpaper or wtfe that system security stuff is called. Try w/o deodexing or any other changes except the bumped boot.img to see.

I can get on kit kat with twrp. Had it for a few weeks now. But I've trying to deodex the 4.4.2 stock for theming and I get that system error whenever I replace the framework and system apps folders. With their deodexed versions. Oh and by the way I modified and "bumped" your cm-11 and got it working fully functional. Want me to update the orig post and upload a link or send it to you or what? But I've got 4g LTE and all seems to be working great. So nice to have a more pure Google OS. Much smoother and less lag than stock lg ....

on stock try just flashing a bumped boot.img and see if it boots. If that works, then I think its system security bs. I dont recall all what needs disabled to remove it tho. lol

Hit me up on hangouts and tell me what you did with cm11. My tree stopped building and I've not been motivated to dig into it and figure out why yet. lol
