Go to recovery and do factory wipe..
And then redo odin

That's odd. It should be wiping.

Once on stock unrooted go.into stock recovery and factory wipe. That should wipe everything including internal.

Yes that factory reset does the trick but I have been using Odin for a while and it has always wiped everything. Just wondering what has changed.

Can anybody confirm that twrp will install with no issues using goomanager? Or should i attempt to learn enough adb to install it?

Devs are requesting not to use flashify. It has caused some instances of bootloops. Occasionally probably from user error, it writes to the wrong area. Just be warned.

I don't think goomanager works. Last I knew if you try it says no recovery found.

You could maybe try freegee app on the play store. It says it supports this phone. I haven't heard of anyone using it yet. Maybe hop on irc and ask

i manually found the file in goomanager and downloaded. Im just scared to to try from there. I cant afford a brick right now.
Goo will download it but it won't flash. I downloaded with goo and flashed with Flashify. Just make sure you're doing the right steps.

Flashify works fine
Tmobile variant here
Some devs werent promoting flashify because people were flashing the twrp by using "Boot image" not "recovery image". Using the recovery image flash works just fine.
Works
Flashify works perfectly on T Mo LG G2. As noted, use flash recovery function.

how do I manually install them?
and on the Verizon forum
Insert them into System/lib/modules then reboot
I don't suggest using something for another device on the AT&T S4. Especially when it is still in beta.
