[GUIDE][BEGINNER] How to flash D802 roms in D805/D806 variants topic

I'd like to contribute for G2 beginner users from Latam., which mostly have D802 regional variants (like Brazil D805 or Argentina D806), and many of those have been asking me how to flash D802 roms.
Specially with the recent burst of Lollipop roms made available.

To clarify:
D805/6 is essentially the same hardware as D802 (same SoC (cpu), board, etc.), with some slight packaging and peripheral/radio variations.
Most software should work interchangeably, with exception of modem/baseband firmware.

However many ROMS fail to flash on those phones, because the dev. sometimes put validation code in the setup script, to ensure you're flashing the right version.
That script checks the phone model, and rejects D805/6.

To make your D802 rom flashable in your D805/6, unzip the following file in the rom zip:

Code:

---

\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script

---

Edit it in a text editor, and look for a line in the beginning like:

Code:

---

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "d802" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d802" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "g2" ||    [. . . . . . ]

---

REMOVE that single line, save the file, and finally replace it in the same location of the zip, and you are ready to flash.

PLEASE MAKE FULLY SURE YOU ARE FLASHING A D802 ROM, AND THAT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE A MODEM
