Uninstall custom recovery - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Sorry if this had been asked before but I am a noob at this.
I install twrp and I want to get rid of it. How can I do this?
Does doing a factory wipe delete twrp?
Also if I can't get rid of the custom recovery how do I install ota updates if for example (android 4.3 or 4.4 is ever released for the g2)?
I have the Verizon variant if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance

[Q] OTA update error

I have twice tried to update my tablet with the OTA update but each time it downloads fine then during the update process I get a error message with the picture of the robot. My tablet is stock rooted. Do I need to unroot before I can update to 4.3?
Thanks for any help.
Do you have a custom recovery? If so, that's why its failing.

Are you rooted? The update should be in your /cache folder, you can move it to the sd storage and flash from recovery. You'll probably also need superuser 1.51 zip to flash after flashing the update as you will lose root.

There's a few threads about as people have been receiving/flashing it. It seems to be a security update, the update is under 2mb.

Yes updated last night, seen a few people having issues so was holding off, but it was pretty straight forward. I ended up downloading the grouper.zip (ota) update from the thread above and the superuser 1.5.1 zip. Fully unroofed from the superuser app then flashed the grouper.zip and superuser zip in recovery.

Already updated to 4.3 and have an OTA notificaion? (JWR66Y from JWR66V)

will it work for me cause i dont wanna lose all data ( only 4gigs free
thank u all for helping
I also had to use the Grouper.zip to take the update. That zip comments out a line in the install script that performed a verification check that many people had fail. The released ota update continually failed for me. I never unrooted first, just flashed grouper.zip in TWRP recovery. After booting back up, I went back into TWRP and flashed the Supersu1.51 zip and got root back. No data loss. This is on a wifi, stock rom & kernel, rooted and TWRP recovery. Now on JWR66Y and happy.

I believe this update was to address the bitcoin exploit found in Android and that was promised to be addressed soon.

Thats exactly what I used, although I didn't have any modifications, so unfortunately I am unable to say whether there would be any problems or not.

Installing ROMS

Hello everyone, my question is hopefully simple. I'm rooted and safestrapped. I would like to know if I take OTAs in the future that break my root will safestrap still be there? Like for example, can I run a nonrooted stock ROM with safestrap installed or will safestrap get uninstalled if I take an OTA Update?
Hopefully my questions made sense. Thanks in advance for your answers.

You shouldn't be able to even accept an OTA if you're rooted, it won't let you go through with it. You should never accept an OTA regardless, and rather wait until someone packages the update up within a ROM so you can still get the benefits
I wasn't aware that being routed would not allow me to accept an OTA. Are you site this happens when the stock ROM is installed? Or, are you talking about if I have a prerooted ROM installed?

Good question, it's been a long long time on a previous device since I accepted an OTA :laugh:
Someone always packages it up as a flashable for us, just like the MJ7 Note 3 update....it's up the same week
OK then what I will be doing tonight is flashing the rooted stock ROM. This way I don't have to do worry about any OTA updates. I will be flashing in safestrap over the stock slot. No need to create a second ROM slot for the same ROM just rooted.

[Q] Custom ROM installation Error - 'Status 7 & Executing Updater binary"

Dear All,
I desperate need of help here. Sorry if I may sound Noob on this topic. I have international LG G2 (D802) - Rooted with custom recovery TWRP.
I'm not able install some custom roms based on Android 4.4.+ with error msg stating....
1. Error executing updater binary in zip
2. Status 7 . installation abort.
I did google on this subject and tried every single method from editing the binary file upto switching over the recovery (from TWRP to CWM) but still the problem exist
My guess is...... it may occur due to unlocked bootloader............. I don't know the status of my bootloader.......... just need help in unlocking the bootloader....
Just use search and not only google...
Flashing Philz recovery should help.
Aand you can not unlock the bootloader of a g2 btw.

I used to and still have the status 7 error often in galaxy s 2 and what u do is unpack rom and open update script in notepad ++ and remove the first 3 lines where it describes about get prop make sure to place the cursor on the start of first line and hold delete until the first 3 lines are removed and 4th lime sits in 1st line exactly without any further changes save it and repack it as it was before and try if it helps.

Root and OTA

If I ever get an OTA update (almost unheard of on AT&T), what do I need to do before I install it to not mess up my phone? It's currently just rooted on the stock ROM.

probably just go into supersu and click full unroot
unless you put a custom recovery on the phone
I just updated to Vs98012b. Anyone know of the io root method works the same? Havent really seen many threads about people talking about the new ota's
Its nothing but people that have bricked their phones on here.

you get a nice recovery bootloop
but if you get an update
just use the update tool on the pc and plug your phone in and even if you
have a custom recovery it'll update because the update tool does it in download mode
What does "upgrade recovery" do in LG Mobile Support Tool? I tried googling it and couldn't find anything. I rooted and installed TWRP, and the LG Mobile Support tool says I don't have an update available but I'm only on the D80010d, not D80010o
