[Q] Can I flash twrp via my current recovery? (Cwm)

Okay so today I ran into a problem trying to flash 3.99 rc2 paranoid android via clockworkmod I didn't see that flashing it using cwm would cause baseband issues and now I have to flash the 4.3 radio but apperantly I need twrp for that so since I do not have a computer and goomanager won't download the latest twrp I was wondering if I can just download the latest version of twrp and flash it using clockwork mod? I know it sounds weird haha flashing a recovery via a recovery but anyways a quick reply would be thankfull

i never use a pc for android, use recovery tools from the market and choose twrp, download and it will reboot to flash, thats it. very convenient

Use this app and choose your recovery tool that you want.
Recovery Tools. look for it in the market.
I'm using this tool and it's great.

Hey thanks guys that really helped! did and now have twrp although it didn't download the latest one it downloaded 2.6.3.0 but still works!

Its not weird man its a zip file you should download and flash it like you would flash anything else. Simple no need to over think it man just go to TWRP thread and download the zip file of the latest which is 2.6.3.3 I believe. Also the thread name has a paperclip at the end of it so click on it and you will see all attached files within the thread. There you will see all of the TWRP zips... Download latest one and thats it..
Also are you sure you had the latest CWm since I find it hard to believe there is a version that wont work

Yes I'm %100 positive I had latest and the only version of cwm that would not cause issues was the version right before the 6.0.4.3 which I believe is the number if I remember correctly but all is good now I used that app I was recommended and flashed twrp using that and flashed the radio and am now on beanstalk with no problems but I will flash the latest version of twrp now that I know I can haha thanks for the info on that

[Q] Change/Replace TWRP Recovery with CWM (ClockWorkMod) on LG G2

Hi guys,
I just want to ask you how could I replace TWRP Recovery with CWM on my LG G2 D802 International?Are there any issue/incompatibility?
I have rooted and installed TWRP, but I have issue with installing CyanogenMod 10.2 Stable (I checked MD5 and downloaded it many times): as I understand is a problem of TWRP compatibility.

It depends on what you download. If you download the recovery.img you can use the app "flashify" to flash the recovery, or if you download a flashable .zip then flash it in recovery then reboot recovery.
There are also instructions on how to use adb and loki here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670

Mandelbrot.Benoit thanks fot your reply.
I'm interested with the flashable zip, so I just need to download it from Official CWM topic the file called "ZIP FILES - OFFICIAL - TOUCH D802" and flash it from TWRP recovery?

I'm not 100% if thats a "lokified" recovery or not. I don't think you'll hurt anything by flashing it. If you can't flash something using that recovery then there is an issue and you can flash another recovery.

I used the Flashify app from the play store to switch recoveries with no issues.

What do You suggest?
Otherwise, there is also the app called ROM Manger which should automatically flash the CWM.
The important thing is that it does not create problems between recovery.

pick the recovery you want, then extract the .lok and rename it to .img and flash in flashify or freegee if it lets you flash recovery.imgs

Okay got the recovery installed. So I should be able to flash CM11 or any ROM? There won't be a problem? Good to go?

You'll probably get an error, check the post with the recoveries for some linked Roms changed for 12b. If you want cm let me know and I'll edit it for 12b

[Q] Lg G2 D803 flashing problems

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to flash a rom for the first time and I've been fighting with TWRP for the last week or so. Here's what I've done. LG G2 D803 Rogers Canada
1. Rooted Device.
2. Installed TWRP Manager and Installed TWRP Recovery Image (2.6.3.2) and I can restore with no issues.
3. Downloaded latest PA 4.4 roms for my phone version (LG G2 D803), including the most recent GAPPS (mini modular). And transferred to phone.
4. Reboot into recovery.
5. Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Data, ... etc)
6. Select install ROM.
7. Get error right away (E:Error executing updater binary in zip)
8. Flashing rom FAILED.
What can I do to fix this?
My device is not supported on CWMR, so I'm not sure if that would work. Also, I've tried downloading older roms, so I'm pretty sure it's not a bad download issue.
Thanks for any help!

TWRP 2.6.3.2 isn't the latest release, so that might be your problem. Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469995 flash the new zip from your current TWRP, and you should be able to flash KitKat ROMs now. Or, if you prefer CWM, there's PhilZ Touch CWM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554053

Hey guys. I'm having the hardest time flashing anything right now. I'm on the 2.6.3.2 and I get the binary updater problem so then I tried flashing other twrp then I get the fast boot error then I tried philz touch then I get boot certification verify error.
All I want to do is flash a 4.4.2 rom.
Canadian rom D803 here.
Thanks

wootever's TWRP 2.6.3.4 oakster15 had posted above worked on my D803, however there are a couple of 2.6.3.4 download versions that didn't work when I flashed it while running TWRP 2.6.3.2. I'm not familar with loki but I'm guessing the one that worked had been "loki-fied".

Hey Guys,
As someone with a D803 variant of the G2, I had been pulling my hair out the last few days on this. Anyway, thanks to the Mahdi team, I was able to get TWRP 2.7.1.0 via this link:

Another "software not authorized by ATT" plead for help

Reaching out for some help... I'm stuck at this point. I need to get a recovery working. Preferably cwm at this point. All other questions I found when searching were users on previous versions of Android and honestly the whole baseband build thing confuses it. I can still boot to the normal phone and use it as usual but I do want to get a working recovery again.
Device: I337 / Rooted
Android: 4.4.4
Baseband: I337UCUAMF3
Rom: Cyanogenmod Nightly 8/6/14
Kernel: 3.4.0-cyanogenmod-g433243c / [email protected] #1 / Wed Aug 6 2014
I was on TWRP and tried flashing to CWM with Rashr. I did this because TWRP was not compatible with the new CM nightlies.
Recovery now only boots to: "System software not authorized by ATT has been found on your phone"
Is there a way I can get a working recovery going now?
Help is appreciated.
Thanks.

did you flash loki-doki after CWM and before reboot?
I never had issues with TWRP 2.5.0.2 and have latest Cm M9--

No I'm totally unfamiliar with Loki as I've never had to deal with it. I never had any issues before this. I guess the TWRP that I had it was already built in?
Is that still an option now? ROM Manager is showing that I have both CWM and TWRP on my phone. I'd be fine with getting rid of TWRP and just using CWM. If I reload CWM in ROM Manager could I then do Loki?
Thanks.

You're probably going to have to use Odin and start all over again. If you're able to use twrp or cwm recovery you're on mdl firmware. You can get that at sammobile.com. Extract it with 7-zip or winrar and use the .tar.md5 in Odin. You'll have to re-root and put your custom recovery back on. Back everything up before starting as Odin will wipe your device.

Here is the loki zip flashable in recovery.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yhrq0tia8512rj9/AAB3C9mLkMe_WeHQgP4QHiKra/loki-doki.zip
I haven't used or kept up with CWM for several years. So, don't know if it loki's a rom/kernel if dev hasn't loki'd rom/kernel.
You can Google loki-doki. But it is how we on MDL can flash custom roms/recoveries/kernels and those above MDL can't. It bypasses Sammy's security and allows kernel to flash. Newer builds are locked down and no similar exploit has been developed yet for them.
Once you get sorted as jd mentioned, use it right before you reboot. Doesn't hurt even if rom/kernel is not loki'd.
:good::good:
BTW, you didn't have issues before bc most att roms esp TW are loki'd--

Thanks guys.
So it seems like I have no choice but to start over completely since I can't get into recovery to flash Loki. Which sucks since I have no idea about the current procedures for rooting and getting recovery. It was pretty messy when I first got my S4 last year.
I almost want to just leave my phone as is and wait to buy a nexus 6 :cyclops:

It's not so bad. Use Odin to get your system up and running again. Then use this to root and get a custom recovery on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41892523

Yes it just takes studying. I used Mottochopper also, very good. When you are done, I do recommend TWRP 2.5.0.2. Also, if you are flashing kernels always wipe caches before rebooting.

if it has mf3 baseband i'm pretty sure you will have to use safestrap and a touchwiz rom. no cyanogen or cwm or twrp.

OP has MDL build his radio "baseband" is mf3. He can flash any radio he wants after rooted.

He's using twrp and cm. Baseband is most likely from the cm version here's on.

I just remembered I made a recovery backup in Rashr before trying to go to CWM. So I restored that in Rashr and am now back on TWRP 2.7.0.1.
This is great but I still want to be able to flash the new CM11 nightlies and TWRP isn't compatible with CMs new kernel.
Are you guys familiar with this situation?

The 8/8 or 8/9 nightly.
Another question...what would happen if I flash CWM with TWRP? Would CWM just over write TWRP and be my active recovery?

Yes I change recoveries as needed but have been on current for awhile. Read up on flashing CWM to be sure you know of any issues and exact steps. If it is a zip no issues should be encountered. Never liked to use Rom MGR.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

Read last 7 pages of cm11 thread. They talked about changing updater script of cm rom. If you flash CWM recovery zip remember to flash loki before rebooting. Uncheck sig check in twrp before flashing CWM. You can't restore twrp nandroid with CWM and vice versa. They list a flashable CWM zip there too.

Also, My M9 milestone seems to be last stable build--many reboots etc on recent nightlies. But, that is part of the game with nightlies. As I "age" I need more stable roms--less stress--
