Twrp 2.6.3.3 won't flash - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I keep getting an error when I try to flash this so I flashed cwm instead, can someone help me or link me to the zip for 2.6.3.2. That one flashes fine and I can't find the zip anywhere

How are you flashing this recovery? I am having the same problem.

Figured it out. Used cwm recovery and flashed the fixed version

Vs980 twrp
Just to clarify, the fix for the broken VS980 TWRP .zip first appeared in the official cyanogenmod nightlies thread, and it was suggested that one should first achieve a working TWRP 2.6.3.2 recovery first, then use it to flash the fixed recovery .zip to update to version 2.6.3.3 (it seems to "upgrade" the previous recovery rather than flash itself in entirety.)
However this may be wrong... I personally already had TWRP 2.6.3.2 installed so I went ahead and used the fixed .zip without a hitch, but it seems like kregstrong had no issues flashing from cwm.

OK think I fixed it. Try now. Sorry. Couldn't find the original link for it

Flashing 4.4 Roms, binary update failed?

Hello, I'm running twrp 2.6.3 and can't seem to flash to any 4.4 ROMs. I've tried cm11 and rastakat. It says failed after attempting to flash and says something about the binaries not updating. Is this solved simply by switching twrp versions and if so what would be the best way to do this? Thanks for any help

update your twrp to the latest
Gotcha. If I'm going to do that, I might as well use goo correct?

Unless you're using twrp 2.6.3.3 it will take 10 minutes to format cache, it's a bug in all versions aside from the one I stated.

Cant flash recovery..

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.

if I have my recovery installed I can download roms ?
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.

[Q] flashing roms

Hello xda. I have a simple and probably stupid question but i have rooted my g2 and installed twrp with little to no issue. I downloaded the hellfire kitkat rom and flashed it through twrp. Is it normal to get a bootloop after install? After install i wiped like everything in the posts said and when i rebooted i just got the lg logo looping. I let my phone sit for about 10 mins like that before recovering my original rom.

Are you sure you downloaded the correct ROM, first? 2nd, be sure you are using at least TWRP 2.6.3.3 or you will have problems.

Yeah i downloaded the file for the ls980...which is the sprint version of the g2. I installed the gapps right after. I believe that i am using twrp 2.6.3.3 becuase when i tried to install 2.6.3.2 it made my phone go into fatboot mode. I will double check that as well.

Just checked on the twrp and indeed i am running 2.6.3.3
Did you try fixing permissions (I saw in hellfire rom thread that after flashing you should fix permissions and then reboot)

@E4with - the gapps package is the problem. You're flashing a 4.2.2 package on a 4.4.2 ROM. Update to the correct gapps and you won't bootloop.

That was my original assumption aldo but i checked the gapps pack and it is 4.4.2. So im still not quite sure what the problem us with the hellfire rom and my device. Also i tried the aeon flex rom and it worked and booted but would not give me and iption for mobile data usage so now im starting yo think that maybe i need to unroot and start over again.
I still think it's the gapps package being too old. Update to the newest one from yesterday and try again.

Any easy way to install twrp?

I am aware of the guides the nice people have come up with but is there an easier way such as an application? I remember, before I flashed back firmware, it was ten times easier and required no adb or commands on my end. I also flashed it over CWM which I had at the time.
Thanks.

What ROM are you currently on? Are you rooted? If on a Jellybean ROM and rooted just use Freegee from the market to install latest TWRP or Cwm instantly with no fuss. If you are on a KitKat ROM you need to downgrade which can be a long process.

Once that i lost my cable i installed flashify and it worked.donloaded a dozen of em but only flashify worked and successfully flashed twrp.img but root pal, just root..

I second flashify, great tool
on the move..
ioroot to root
freegee to twrp
Back up EFS, and then back THAT up to your computer. THEN proceed to whatever it is you rooted for.
Definitely back efs up
on the move..

Install FreeGee from the Google play store since you are rooted already.
What exactly is efs? Also, I get an error code in the top left when going into recovery?

if you are on 10d you can use this,just download the file and click recovery and everything should work. phone has to be on charge and not MTP.download both files in the download and place them in a recovery folder or whatever you choose to call it.
for ATT or international versions.here you go:
hang on uploading the zip

You can only flash recovery in jellybean based ROMs. If you are on a rooted KitKat ROM you still can't have custom recovery without also a modded boot img
