I flashed twrp on my Verizon LGG2. I was just wondering, since I have to have the standard recovery to get OTA updates(hopefully next one is Kit Kat), does anyone know where I can find it for my phone?

You will get kitkat much faster from the developers than you will an ota

Good to know, but doesn't answer my question.

Not sure, but I was wondering about this also. I think I'm just going to go back to stock when we get 4.4.

load the factory image using the LG tool. this will put you back to original stock, of course it will wipe your phone.
just an FYI, taking an OTA could possibly remove the ability to root your phone in the future. SO make sure that is really what you want.
I also have a similar question involving CWM. At the moment I have TWRP as my recovery (used flashify to install it), however I would prefer to use CWM. If I flash CWM via flashify, will it replace TWRP?

there is no reason why it shouldn't as far as I know, i've had twrp and have flashed cwm but am now back with twrp,just make sure it's the latest for your phone.

Awesome, thanks. I'm new to the LG phones (been on moto for the last few years) and just wanted to make sure

So is there any way to get standard recovery without having to reflash the entire stock rom?

There is a 110mb update available through sprint for me called ls980zv7_01_to_zv8_13. Do I need to unroot before applying this update? I don't want to brick my phone again.

Are you only rooted if so OK but if you have custom recovery you need lg g2 ls980 stock recovery.
PS I will just ignore the ota.

I ignored it also but I can't get it off my notifications. We're you able to?

That's the only way to get rid of custom recovery? Darn it took me a while to customize this phone.

Nope. It's still there. Might have to bite the bullet and revert to stock.
Anyone have any info on the update?
I tried searching real quick but didn't see anything.
Sent from my LG-LS980
What update? That's also a pretty big size for a minor update, if so, KitKat? Hey a man can only hope haha
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
Just found it.
Says audio enhancement and google security patch...
That doesn't add up.
They're leaving a lot out obviously.
I can't post the link on here because it changes a couple parts of the link to smiley faces.
Go here: http://support.sprint.com/support/
Select lg.
Select g2.
On the far right near the bottom under "Device Resources" select "Find and update the software version on your LG G2"

I reverted to stock to install it. Its the same android version. The software version number changed to LS980V8. Can't notice anything that is changed.
I've been stock but no update for me

Which instructions did you use to revert to stock? I'm stock rooted with twrp. I'm guessing that I need to revert back to stock recovery at the least.

Download and extract this zip http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G2%2FStock%2FSprint+LS980%2F And open the readme text and follow those instructions.
I finally decided to drop my beloved galaxy nexus. The N5 seemed like the next phone of my dreams but couldn't stand the thought of losing my unlimited plan so G2 seemed like the next logical choice. I have been reading as much as I can and still having a hard time wrapping my head around things. Here is where I am at:
Bought phone from swappa appeared to be in new condition as advertised with plastic still on the phone.
Not sure if the phone was updated ota by the seller but the software and baseband were 12b out the box not rooted.
I rooted successfully with latest I0root method.
Installed loki patched twrp 2.6.3.3 successfully via freegee method. Full nand backup of rooted stock. Backed up imie with freegee and imie and other partitions via flashable zip method.
So where do I go from here? Is it safe to flash any VS980 rom from this point?

Yes you should be good to go from that point forward.

I have yet to install a custom rom or I could let you know. I have however upgraded to philz recovery and successfully installed dorimanx kernels. Got a little busy messing with exposed modules as well. I wanted to make sure I have all my essentials backed up before messing with roms and have the appropriate files and drivers working in case something goes wrong. I tried to install malladus yesterday and the install failed but I want to say the download was bad as it took forever. I had no issues with restore. I'll report back if I have any luck.

If you want some KitKat love, try out Mahdi ROM with the latest furnace kernel. Very very stable on my vs980.
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk
You've bought the right device, aside from some unreleased phone of course. I too came from the gnex and I love this thing. Go install some AOSP ROM and it will be like you never left the gnex. (Although admittedly not as stable YET). With KK just being released by LG, all roms should get better. Anyways, enjoy a camera that works all the time not just when it is super bright and a battery that is equal to 3x of the galaxy nexus.

Thanks for the input. I installed AICP latest ROM last night with no issues. Feels amazing with no scroll lag compared to stock. Only thing I miss is knock off but hey you can't have it all. Gonna give furnace a go later.

I thought Mahdi came with knock on?

When the ota finally comes out. Do you think someone will post a stock rooted flashable version? If that's even possible. My gf is tired of me flashing custom roms on her phone lol

Try using the supersu survival mode when the ota comes out maybe it'll work but chainfire has said its been a pain on 4.4.2 if you get root some of your favorite root apps may not work.

I'm sure it's possible, StockUp did it with MK2, and there was the MF3 Unadulterated ROM used to achieve root.
I made a flashable zip of the images @TheJesus posted. This will make it easier to go back to stock to take ota's or whatever. Just flash the zip in TWRP then fastboot flash the stock recovery. This zip can also get you out of a jam provided you have it on your SD.

You're welcome buddy. I knew it would come in handy.
This saved me arse, mate! Thanks a lart! Cheers!
Thank you! Life saver !
I edited build pro and messed up my phone this save my life thanks!!
I had to get 10 posts before I could thank you, but I'm in debt; I soft-bricked my phone yesterday night, panicked for about 30 minutes because adb wouldn't connect with my phone, Lg restore tool is a complete joke, and literally so little is posted about this phone, and I literally thought to myself "I now have a $700 paperweight that T-mobile wont replace because I rooted/Unlocked bootloader." Good thing TWRP was still accessible so I used this to restore my phone, so thank you SO MUCH from saving me from an inevitable meltdown at 3AM trying to frantically fix my phone. LmaO :laugh:
ok flashed device and now the lg logo is stuck and wont move after that?
Can you explain in detail what you did?

Got it to work thank u
Thanks for this. Is is necessary to reflash the stock recovery after flashing this? Or will TWRP still work if I had it installed before I flashed?
Twrp will still work.

If we do this, will they know the phone was flashed before? Just trying to avoid rooting,but I really want my data so want to know if there is a way out.
lesson learned
Thanks anyway for the help @Warrior1975. Just reading all the threads from beginning to end. Seeing all your questions for help throughout the threads has helped me in return when someone answers your question and helps
