[Q] TWRP vs CWM Recovery on VZW G2 - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I currently am running Clean ROM on my Verizon G2, but saw that Team Gummy released a 4.4 ROM that I wanted to take for a spin. Anyway, in that OP it states that you can only flash that ROM from CWM and I currently have TWRP installed. So here is my question, is it possible to flash CWM from TWRP (like I used to on my GNEX) or do I need to remove TWRP and install CWM the way it's stated the in the development forum? Thanks!

**BUMP**
Can someone please chime in on this. I don't want to do something to brick my phone.

Yes, you can install cwm from twrp. Just find the version in a flashable zip format.

And after install reboot to recovery.

Or you can do it from flashify. You can switch back with it as well.

[Q] Bricked ...

Hi all. I have my phone rooted and TWRP installed. However, I wiped my system after installed TWRP. Fortunately I installed back a rom "Clean ROM" by ADB sideload but after that whenever I press "reboot system". It brings me back to TWRP bootloader. Anyone knows how to solve this problem? My phone is ATT LG G2. I will be thankful if someone save my phone!
Hopefully you can load the backup you took...supposing you used TWRP to follow file numero uno. Not being sarcastic but all these developments are new and potentially dangerous.

I am a newbie :crying: I was actually on stock rom and installed TWRP. However, I couldn't reboot back to system after I flashed an img file by flashify. I was stuck at TWRP bootloader. I thought there was something wrong so that I attempted to wipe data if I could go back to system. unfortunately I wiped SYSTEM and got stuck at TWRP. Therefore, I installed back a rom to my phone by adb sideload to see if I could have my phone back. And It turn back to the first problem I had. Cannot reboot to system again. I am wondering if it is a problem of TWRP or the rom that I installed. :crying:

Can you sideload the stock rom. ..not clean rom version? Them flash with TWRP. Alternatively browse this forum for return full stock including recovery.

For the first solution, ADB cant read the rom somehow :crying: And I am going to try the second one. It takes me 10 hours to download the rom tho Thanks for helping me anyway
Use LGtools to restore to stock
I bricked my bootloop many times and this tool will replace all files like the iPhone DFU mode does or like Odin on Samsung, there is a few steps involved so read and re-read.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
hope it helps.
no need to kdz
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
everyone go and read development forum, lots of useful stuff
Also maybe you should get a download manager like FDM top assist with download speeds. And always MD5 them before flashing so things like this are less likly to happen.

When you make your backups you have to include selinux content. You can find this by opening backups, then miscellaneous settings then check off process selinux content for 4.3

Are you on a Note 2?! This is the S4 thread.

will this root method work/will it unlock b

i just got my lg g2 today wanting to root it cause the ui is awful i found this root method but wanting to make sure it works and will unlock the bootloader so i can install my model number is vs980 software version is vs98012b build number is JDQ39b

Personally I think LG' s skin is very very good... I came from the gnex and I'm very used to aosp roms. I think LG actually did a great job... enough of that☺...
I'd use the LG flash tool to go back to 11a then root that with what you've found then flash away whatever you'd like. There's been a few issues with 12b for some reason as far as flashing roms... hopefully a couple others will chime in but that's my 2 cents...

what is the name of the tool and how do i do it and where are the firmwares and what kind of problems?

couple questions before I root

I just bought this phone 2 days ago to replace my GS3 and I've been spending hours reading the forums and watching YouTube videos.
I had cm11 running on my Galaxy and I'm wanting to put it on my G2.
Rooting it looks easy enough and the IOroot will Be a breeze. Looking at recovery install it looks like there are 2 methods. Loki flash and Flashify app. Do you have to have the loki patch applied to use flashify and write the recovery? Or can you just flash it with root and be good to go?
My next question is the loki flash how to says twrp 2.6.3.2 and I need the 3.3 version for cm11. I read in a thread somewhere about the recoveries linked there being loki patched and using one not patched would bootloop the phone? Or can I download the twrp 2.6.3.3 and flash it via adb with the loki exploit instead? Some of the posts make it sound like twrp 2.6.3.2 is required for loki to work? And if so the best way to upgrade the recovery from there?
I'm not a newb to flashing been doing it for years just making sure I have a full understanding for this devices methods.
Edit: I use google chrome as my default phone browser and on xda the text in posts all compresses together and overlays sentences ontop of each other. Is there a way to fix?
No you do not have to just change recovery name from recovery.loki to recovery.img then flash with flashify

Thank you, I found a loki'd recovery file for 2.6.3.2 and a post with 2.6.3.4 with the loki patcher in the zip it looks like. I'm assuming once I flash the loki'd 2.6.3.2 recovery and then flash the 2.6.3.4 zip from twrp it should be working perfectly, I can nandroid and install cm11 just fine after that?
Yes sir i never had any problems so you should be good

Thanks for your help. Very much appreciated. Looking forward to having my custom rom install back. I love everything about this phone except for its locked bootloader and the lack of notification panel settings.I miss quick toggles and would rather not have my toggles with notifications

I get that too. Its so annoying. It only happens on chrome and only on stock based roms. Real shame I like chrome but a new browser does the job.

First off may I know what model phone you have? Second, you will have to root your phone. If on KitKat use towel root. Second use Autorec *FOR YOUR DEVICE MODEL*. After that is complete download a bumped twrp for you device frome here http://blastagator.ddns.net/twrp.html . Flash the zip via twrp. After you have completed those message me back.

You need to also install the KitKat baseband. Go to download the lollipop patch from here http://blastagator.ddns.net/d800_rom_patch.php before you do that make sure you do a full wipe and then install the kitkat baseband, then theROM, and then lollipop patch. After that You should have not have a problem

So let me get this straight: Root » TWPR » bumped TWPR » KK Bootloader »Kitkat rom (where i find please ? ) - Cloudy 3.3 » Lolipop.
Is this?
And again.. thank you.
Omit the KitKat Rom. Also after flashing cloudly g3 you have to install the lollipop patch by blastgator.
