I was able to root successfully but not able to flash a recovery.
No recovery for me either hope someone figures it out

Not 100% sure, but I think you can use the flash tool to put the old image on, root it, and either flash a non-stock rom or use Titanium Backup to freeze the update app and prevent it from re-updating. You can do a Titanium Backup of your apps first so you don't lose quite everything in the reflash (but be sure to move it to your computer, I think the stock reflash wipes out everything).

Ok, I finally got around to trying it (wasn't sure if I was going to keep the G2 or go for S4, but G2 it is. I installed the LG drivers (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_nizg6yUZ0NWnp5b2U2VkxKbFE/edit?usp=sharing) and followed the instructions line for line, didn't have any problems. Titanium seems to be working Ok for me. If adb isn't working, it's probably a configuration issue on your computer.

10o can be rooted as pointed out. They were testing recovery for it as well a day or 2 ago. Not sure what happened with it.

You might be right. root method was giving me issues pushing recovery and ytiruces files to my sdcard. so i did it manually and ran root method again. that did the trick.

I used freegee to flash 2.6.3.3. Unfortunately, the version listed is 2.6.3.0 after doing so. I then used Flashify to flash 2.6.3.3, but I received an error and it turned to black. how did you upgrade from 2.6.3.0 to 2.6.3.3?
Sorry I miss spoke. The version of TWRP I have is 2.6.3.0. that I downloaded from freegee. If it's not working I'd try again as I did not do anything special and make sure the file name matches the flash version. I hope this helps. I am on ATT by the way.

I did research for this for a couple of hours but didn't find anything too helpful besides flashing back to stock. I also saw I could install the TWRP img file by the command line but that makes me a little nervous for the brick warnings posted.
I have the Goldeneye rom on my phone and I had TWRP 2.5.0.2 and everything was working great. I also updated the Modem to the MF3 one. I flashed TWRP up to 2.6 and loki-doki and everything seemed to go OK until I rebooted the phone.
I rebooted the phone and got the error of System software not authorized by ATT has been found on your phone and the SECURE FAIL: KERNEL message at the top.
I am now unable to boot into recovery with the buttons or using the reboot menu from the Goldeneye rom. Every time I try to reboot it goes to the error message above.
Now I am able to have the phone boot up fully if I go into download mode and then press the volume down key to cancel/restart the phone and then it will boot up with out issue. Any time I reboot though with out going into download mode I get the secure kernel error.
Is there a way to recover the device without going through ODIN and reflashing it back to stock? Also, my baseband shows MF3 now since I flashed the modem, is that going to cause any issues?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
Can you try reinstalling the twrp recovery through goomanager when you get it to boot.. Then retrying to get into recovery?

Why not Odin
I haven't looked for awhile, but if you example of command to put recovery on phone by adb, try it. If you have the command line from a dev thread then just copy/paste the line. No chance of typing error. Still double check all. And any bu's you can do prior, do them and put copy on pc. Know you can't nandroid, but maybe MyBackUp Pro.
I was hoping there was something I could do to retain the setup on the phone how it is.
I'll push the twrp file using the command line and if that doesn't work I will flash with odin

Your topic says "rom manager now supports all LG g2" but I just downloaded it and it still doesn't support the D801 variant. Am I doing something wrong? I'm also hoping to replace TWRP because executing a wipe or backup takes very long.
Doesn't matter it doesn't work. I have been trying to flash cwm for vs980 and it never takes. Emailed Mr. Dutta and waiting on a reply.

I am on the D801 for T-mobile.
I installed TWRP earlier today and as i get into my phone i was stupid enough to click the OTA update that occurs.
Now i bricked and only go into TWRP.
I have no idea what to do and dont know how to address the issue.
While it is like this i cant put stuff onto the device right? because my computer wont recognize it.

Okay guys so this is what is happening.
I have twrp 2.6.3,2
I am in a bootloop. I keep going to the recovery
I have ADB running and can push any zip files to it
I have tried pushing a version of paranoid to it.
Upon trying to flash i get this error:
error excuting updater binary in zip '/sdcard/pa.zip'
error flashing zip '/sdcard/pa.zip
So something is wrong with the binary?

Hey,
I went back from CM11 on my 802 to an old backup of stock rom, still had TWRP v.2.6.3.2.
The phone downloaded the OTA update automatically and when I rebooted it just got stuck in TWRP recovery. I tried the "go back to stock" but I get "the phone is not connected" at the LG mobile support tool. Don't know what to do now, tried flashing other backups etc. Can I somehow flash a new recovery in TWRP?

Thank you! This worked!!
So yeah. Installed the FreeGee beta which supposedly supports KitKat. It installed TWRP and it works...but now if I try booting into the actual OS, I get stuck at the LG logo (not the animated one).
"Alright," I said, annoyed. "I'll have to just use download mode and go back to 4.2.2 and start over."
Except download mode doesn't work. It gets stuck on the Download Mode splash screen but doesn't go any further...
What should I do? :/
TWRP - working
OS - not working
Download mode - not working
Well if you have adb setup you can try pushing a 4.2 Rom plus jb baseband to see if you can boot that way

I believe you were supposed to flash a patched kernel for kk after installing the recovery.
if you can push it to your phone and flash it in recovery it might boot correctly. i could be wrong though
No idea how to push it to the phone. ADB sideload doesn't work, just says "starting" but doesn't actually progress.
EDIT: Alright I fixed the sideload. It works now! Any guidance as to what kernel files I need to flash? Sorry for being so terrible at this.

Here's a link to the patched kk kernels - download the one for your variant : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=12894 [taken from thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680948]
im not completely sure it will work but if i remember correctly you need this patched kernel (or any other patched kk kernel) for everything to work correctly (kk + root + recovery)
Hey man, thanks for sticking with me and giving me all the recommendations. I managed to sideload the latest Mahdi ROM along with my variant's kernel. Currently doing first boot but it's taking a while...
BOOTED! Now attempting Download Mode.
Alright, download mode is still broken. I can boot in and everything but no Download Mode. This is a weird issue.

no worries, i was really stoked when i got everything working so i kinda remember the process
not sure about mahdi rom since i dont think its based on the official kk source for this phone
you should only need a patched kernel if you are using a stock kk rom or the g pro 2 ports with a custom recovery
Yeah I meant the patch that is supplied with Mahdi.
So the issue now has evolved to: I have TWRP, I can boot in just fine, and everything works fine..except download mode is broken. I don't even know where to start on how to fix that. Any ideas? Cause if it's stuck this way, I'm gonna have to be really damn careful with how I use this phone from now on.
Unfortunately idk **** about fixing download mode lol.
Maybe try flashing a stock kdz and starting the root + recovery process over

Again sorry for being super crap at this, but how exactly do I flash the .img? I noticed in the freegee folder there's a "revert aboot" zip but it fails to flash (some binary installer issue), even with using 2.6.3.4 which should fix installer issues.
You probably have to push it somewhere via adb. Im pretty crap at this stuff too so don't worry.
