How to prepare the LG G2 for its update to Android Nougat

Surely when reading the title of this post, how to prepare the LG G2 for its update to Android Nougat, at first you think that I have gone completely crazy to tie or that you have not read the title of the article or practical tutorial that I am going to present today.

The case that I have not gone crazy and if you have read the headline of this post correctly. Let me explain: it is known to all that LG decided to delete or abandon the LG G2 from its list of models to update to new versions of Android, leaving it in a version of Android Lillipop 5.0.2. This is a shame since we are facing one of the best terminals in the recent history of Android and that is capable of moving the new version of Android Nougat or Android 7.0, just as it is able to move with excellent performance and fluidity Android MArshmallow. Well, no matter how much these LG's despite the fact that they only think, like all Android smartphone manufacturers to sell and sell more terminals, today I'm going to teach them how to update the LG G2 to Android Marshmallow using CM13 and leave everything ready to receive the new versions via OTA that the developers of the great Android community of Cyanogenmod are taking out, among them CM14 or Android Nougat 7.0 that should be available more soon sooner rather than later.

To follow this practical tutorial step by step in which we are going to prepare the LG G2 for its update to Android Nougat Through the OTA updates of the CM14 Roms that are to come, how is it logical and presumably, we will have to meet a series of requirements that I will tell you below and provide the necessary links that will take you to the different practical tutorials to get it very easily.

Requirements to meet in order to prepare the LG G2 for its update to Android Nougat

1. Have the terminal, LG G2 model D802, Rooted and with the modified TWRP Recovery updated to its latest version available
2. Having an backup EFS folder just in case.
3. Having a nandroid backup of the whole system in case we back down to leave everything as it was before the Rom CM13 flashing process.
4. Having an backup of all our applications and data since in the process of flashes we are going to erase all of them.
5. Having USB debugging enabled from developer settings.
6. Have the battery charged to 100 x 100.

Files necessary to prepare the LG G2 for its update to Android Nougat thanks to Cyanogenmod

To achieve update LG G2, first to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow via CM13, and prepare it for the next OTA updates, we are going to have to download the latest CM13 nightly, CM's own Recovery and native Google apps to thus include the Google app store and the Google services framework so that we can download any app from the Android app store

Once all the files have been downloaded and copied to the internal memory of the LG G2, we will be at the disposal of completely shut down the terminal and restart it in Recovery mode To follow the steps that I indicate in the attached video that you have embedded at the beginning of this post, some steps that I explain in writing below.

Flashing method of the last nightly CM13 and the Gapps

Once inside the modified TWRP Recovery we are going to follow these steps to the letter to flash the Rom and native Google apps:

1. Wipe, Select Wipe Dalvik, Cache, System and Data, we slide the bar.
2. install, We first select the Zip of the Rom nightly CM13 and we delirium the belly.
3. We return to the main menu again.
4. install, We select this time the zip from Google Gapps and we slide the bar again to execute the action.
5. Finally we select Wipe Dalvik cache from the button that appears at the bottom right and as soon as it finishes we select the option of Reboot System.

We wait for the LG G2 to reboot completely, we configure it, and once we can access the system, if you want install Cyanogenmod's own Recovery as I have done in the video, you must follow the steps that I will explain below.

How to install Cyanogenmod's own Recovery on the LG G2

1. We go to the Google Play Store and download Flashify. Just below I leave you direct link for the free download of the application.
2. Once installed, the we open y we grant Superuser permissionsTo do this, you must first have enabled them from the developer settings as I show you in the video.
3. Once already inside Flashify, we select the option Recovery, we look for the .img file that we have downloaded from the official CM page, the one that corresponds to the version of our Nightly, we place on it and clicking on the YUP! it will be installed.
4. With this we will have our LG G2 model D802, ready to receive the next update to Android Nougat via OTA and in a fully automated way.
