i know that... im asking about the freegee app
Download the recovery and use flashify from the market to flash the recovery. Also no boot loader unlock. We don't,need it at the moment as the recovery uses Loki which bypasses the boot loader

I emailed the Dev a couple of weeks ago. He said an update was coming soon for us g2 users, although I haven't seen it happen yet. Not sure if I'd trust it yet.

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.

unless you put a custom recovery on the phone

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

Freegee fully supports the g2. For recoveries you get cwm or twrp.

I would veriy Roms for at work with new update before you take an ota. On the vs980 I took the 12b ota and found out that not many devs have patched their work to operate with the ota.
Had to flash back to 10b then just flashed the 12b radio

Freegee
I am running Verizon LG G2 on 12B rooted, stock rom and have CWM with Freegee
I ran two backups and want to flash a custom rom but worried about after you flash the new ROM is CWM and Freegee still gonna be there???
I have tried to get into recovery with holding the Vol + up and power but it just boots normal...
I see some of you are using Flashify root but if I want to use that how do you remove Freegee and CWM?
Also I can see my backups while in recovery on cwm but with phone on and using Astro File Manager I go into the Clockworkmod dir and don't see my backups in there.
Any thoughts. I am gonna wait to flash new rom until I know for sure I can if need be get to my backups.
Update--->> Installed TWRP and now I can see my backups and get into recovery by holding both volume down + power. As soon as the LG logo comes up release it and immediately do the same thing again and hold them down. It will bring you to a reset screen and you hit power 3 times. and it starts TWRP.

Hi, I tried to flash twrp recovery with some help from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 but it keeps saying fail.. I tried both options.
if rooted freegee is easier from app store, it gets proper automagically.
If trying to flash via cwm, get the recovery flashable zip from the thread and not the img. Doubt thats the case
Where did you get that awesome avatar btw?

Thanks awesome downloaded the zip file, could you please give me the steps on how to flash it ?
btw I created my avatar through this site http://www.faceyourmanga.com/editmangatar.php
sorry for my English I'm European .
BTW again, do I need an unlocked bootloader to flash roms like paranoid I'm on d802
"Keeps saying it failed" What failed, in what part? Also currently there's no way to unlock the bootloader, but use loki bypass instead, basically when you have recovery installed, you don't have to worry much about bootloader or loki.

Yes you can and flash them without any problems. Only in twrp settings tick the option to use different format command or it'll take like 10 minutes to wipe cache

ehr, I fell for it, just go freegee way. easier.

Had the same issue a few days ago. TWRP, CWM, and Philz wouldn't flash properly, but I'm pretty sure it was my fault. Currently I have CWM installed by FreeGee (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee_free).
WARNING: You should know that there is a risk with using FreeGee. If you don't plan to use download mode, you're good. But currently, I am without download mode after flashing. Still trying to figure out a way to fix it. System works, recovery works, but I cannot revert to stock at the moment.

Are you sure the phone turns off ? Or is the screen blank? (not off but rather gray?)

OK, let's return to the start.
1. You're sure it's rooted and SU is working? Rootcheck is on the play store and you can use that to check
2. In FreeGee, did you tap on a recovery on the bottom? And did FreeGee freeze on this step? Did you give FreeGee root access/permission?
3. If FreeGee installed a recovery, it won't automatically reboot. Have you attempted to reboot into recovery? If you're not sure if it has installed, I would not recommend going through the hard reset page because if it's not actually installed yet, you would go through a factory reset. You could download an app to boot into recovery though (I.e. CWM ROM manager, TWRP, or quickboot. All free on the play store.)

Hello all, I've got an LG G2 LS980 on 4.2.2 Jellybean. (I do not want to update to Kitkat) I cannot seem to install a custom recovery. I've read multiple guides and followed them all perfectly.. The ones using loki flash always give an error such as "Not a valid loki image" or "aboot version does not match the device" I've tried using the dd command on teamwin's site as well and all it did was completely remove my stock recovery. I've spent days trying to get this to work, please could someone help

You said you read multiple guides, so I'm sure you've done this one already. If so, I would suggest you .tot to ZVA and start over. I first installed recovery on ZVA and didn't have issues like yourself.
