Bootloader problem maybe?

Quick question i got a i337 and have been flashing rom since i got this phone about 3 months. last time i flash a rom and everytime i plug my phone to the PC its read my phone as a M919 Tmobile device but everything work fine beside that. What could have cause this and what can i do to fix it? Thanks

Did you flash a custom rom from Tmobile by chance?

Nope just been flashing rom on our ATT forums but some were ported from the Tmobile.

bingo, that is it, ported tmo rom to att. No biggie, does that keep you from doing anything you need?

The only I see that could get affected is updating TWRP thru Goo Manager. TWRP will give the T-Mobile version instead of ATT.

You can manually download TWRP from their website and install it using the "dd" command in a root terminal or root adb shell. It's a bit more hands-on, but in the end you just run a command or two. Instructions are on TWRP's website, and are specific to each phone. WARNING: If you do end up flashing a recovery via this method, be 100% sure you selected the right phone on TWRP's website, and be 110% sure you get the partition number right at the end of the "dd" command. Flashing the recovery to the wrong eMMC partition could easily result in a hard brick. (basically, just follow instructions and you'll be fine).

Ahh, yes, goo will install the TMO version, you need to use the flash att version in the Dev att forum.
Aou maybe right, that might be the only way, I didn't find the flash version....you could try this..

[Q] TWRP to CWM?

Running CM10.2 nightly and want to try out the Paranoid Android found on the original development thread. Flashing does not work with TWRP (actually lead to a brick, but i'm back ). So getting CWM from TWRP usually with any other devices I own I would install rom manager then install recovery and it would overwrite the existing recovery...Well with the G2 (vzw) it just boots up into TWRP again. Is this do to the not fully unlocked bootloader? How do I install a .img file? Thanks in advanced

Ummmm. I may be wrong but this could be because that build is not for our device. Are you talking the vow original dev thread or the lgg2 original dev thread(multidevice)

Nope, I'm not sure. I use Twrp. "If" there are issues, I don't think it would be anything major.

Installing recovery, get error?

To be blunt i followed the steps and this is what i got right before the reboot process:
[+] loki_flash v2.0
[-] Input file is not a Loki image.
I tried google...I swear i did....kind of lost from here.

Which is ur device model? "

Do you guys honestly think your posts have enough information to be able to help? We need more information, For example what guide was you following as there are multiple. What recoveries have you tried were they thought the right variant? etc. etc. etc.

I realize this now after i made my second post of bricking my phone,
I did get recovery to work. The 2.6.3.5 i was using isn't loki'd so i went to down to the 2.6.3.2

Make sure you grab the right twrp file for your device. make sure you have your loki file in the ADB tools folder.
Use this Guide and it should work like a charm
i recommend changing the name of your TWRP '.img' to 'recovery.img' so its easy to type in the command window

[Q] Help flashing recovery on VS980

All,
Currently running 4.2.2 12b on Verizon LG G2 rooted with ioroot22. I really want to flash CWM and then either slimkat or CM11. Issue is, there are like a million different threads on how to flash recovery. I have no idea which method is the most reliable at this point or where to get the latest recovery build as there seem to be so many different opinions. One thing I'm sure of is that I don't want TWRP based on the bad experiences folks seems to be having. Can someone please refer to the right website/thread where I can get all the info I need? I'm sick of searching all the threads and getting contradicting info.

C'mon folks, just a few pointer please. Thanks!

I have successfully used twice on my D802 in 4.2.2 the .bat method CWM install in the link that I gave you. I've flashed Philz after, in recovery.

FYI, used freegee. Worked flawlessly. Flashed CWM 6.0.4.7 with no cache wipe issues or anything. Works just like it did on my galaxy nexus.
