Flashify recovery install - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've installed twrp via Flashify and i'm ready to start flashing rooms, but i'm wondering what kind of limitations I have in terms of kernels and whatnot?
I know that with Loki it eliminates the need to unlock the bootloader, but being that I didn't pushing using adb and just used Flashify will I face any problems flashing any roms like CM or carbon?
Thanks!

I flashed TWRP via flashify and flashed CleanROM with no probs

Nope. Flash away, your fine.
Support your Devs......

Thanks a bunch lads, I wasn't sure if I was gonna be able to or not so you've made this phone infinitely better than my xperia zl from before. I was i love with thing but now this G2 is the full package for me.
This has been the easiest root and recovery install ever, easier than a nexus lol!
All I need now is the premium pack for LG G2 xposed pack and i'm all set.
I'm well aware it's only $0.99 but i'm literally that broke until pay day hahaha

which twrp can i flash being that i took the ota and rooted after the update? i've read on a few threads that once you took the ota, you can't flash twrp. also, has anyone seen or tried the twrp app in the play store? results from those that have?

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..

That is the one I downloaded but after the flash and I click on reboot. A message saying that the rom may flash a stock recovery and gives me the option to disable the stock recovery or not. Is this normal... Btw the first time flashing I disabled don't want to click on no just in case of a brick so want to know what's the message is about...

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.

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] Flash 5.1

Hello guys!
My Nexus 4 is running PA 5 Alpha 2, rooted and custom kernel of course.
I got the .zip file of the 5.1 OTA.
How should I flash it?
How did you flash PA in the first place? Just follow the same steps. You should flash it with a custom recovery e.g. TWRP.

You can't flash the ota in a custom recovery. You have to sideload it in the stock recovery. You have to be 100% stock system, kernel and recovery.

Is it safe to upgrade to TWRP 3.0.2?

Hi there.
Is anyone here using TWRP 3.x? I'm still on 2.x, since I read of lots of problems with newer versions of the recovery on this device, but I'd like to upgrade now. Can anyone give me some feedback?
Thanks in advance
It works but as with multiple posts not with Aroma.

I see no reason to update if u have no issue on 2.x. sometimes upgrade is just a no go.

Try it.. It totally a new design You can revert back, if you don't like it.. By flashing the image through the new twrp itself.

If you're trying to downgrade, it means that you've flashed TWRP.
If you've flashed TWRP, it means that you already know how to flash a custom recovery.
If you already know how to flash a custom recovery, then this is EXACTLY the same thing. Just pick an older version of TWRP and flash it the exact same way you would flash any version of TWRP.
And if you don't even know how to do that, google is your friend.
