[q] lg g2 d800 + twrp - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all.
Over the past few days, I have been attempting to install CyanogenMod on my LG G2, but I am currently stuck on getting TWRP to work properly. I have followed the steps (more than once) on the forum post here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670), but it has yet to work. I either get the "fastboot" text screen (two lines), or (now) nothing more than a backlit screen. If anyone can help me with this, it would be much appreciated.
Info on the device:
Rooted
Model: LG-D800 (10o)
If anything else is needed, please let me know. I'd like to get this working.
Thanks

I used this video to bypass all that fastboot nonsense.

Basically all you do is:
!Phone Must Be Rooted!
Download Recovery:
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/g2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2att.img
Download from the Google Play Market:
>Flashify (for root users)
Open flashify,
Click on 'Recovery image' and look for the recovery you downloaded,
Click on the recovery file,
Hit flash,
Hit Reboot and it'll reboot you into TWRP
And you're done!

I have been having a weird issue flashing the latest trwp versions over stock recovery on my D800, resulting in me booting to fastboot. Oddly, if I flash cwm recovery it works. then from cwm recovery I flash the twrp zip and then I am set. No idea why and I have been able to duplicate it. shrug

Any chance you could communicate the method you used to do this, at some point? I've tried flashing CWM as well, but I've had the same outcome as with TWRP. Would be awesome to get Cyanogenmod on here finally.
Thanks for the replies!

Have you tried the app Flashify, once you are rooted?
Alternatiely, I have put the recovery.img file in the root of my sdcard and then did:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

Another app called Freegee will install either CWM or TWRP on there for you.

[GUIDE] Install ClockworkMod Recovery image after updated to 2.3.4 (GRJ22).

Not applicable
Delete this thread
Hello, thanks for the post.
I got a brand new Nexus S, I got a update direct from Google so I just flash it to GRJ22 :-(. I follow your guide (I have to do the step 1/2 in the other post you refer). Now I got clockwork done. But everytime I restart my phone, I always boot into clockwork. I try to 'mount sdcard' and reboot, but still boot into clockwork. How can I boot into the stock ROM?
many thanks!!
Too complicated.
Just:
1. turn on phone by holding volume up + power to go to bootloader
2. fastboot oem unlock (confirm it on the phone)
3. fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
4. Select recovery on the phone.
5. You're in ClockworkMod. Go flash a new ROM.
Let me answer myself.
I don't think the latest rom 2.3.4 is compatible with the clockwork you supplied. So I have to flash my phone back to GRH78. I downloaded the stock ROM from the internet. and then push all the images file into /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2010.xxx.
Next, I restore the image in clockwork menu.
after restore, reboot the phone, now I am back in business.
When the phone is boot, i lost the root again, so i went to modaco.com and get Paul's package. run it, restart, I got the root.
Finally, go to market place and get ROM Manager, install the clockwordmod. and I have a 'proper' phone.
although I don't have the least rom, at least i got a working phone that is rooted.

I have the same problem. How did you handle it?
Wow, why risk messing up your phone with flashing a boot.img when you can just rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to something like /etc/install-recovery.bak?
Here's one way to rename (courtesy of Matridom). Another is to use Root Explorer.
Matridom said:
The new update applies the install-recovery.sh script into our phones (not there previously.
Boot into the bootloader
flash CWM
select recovery from the bootloader (DO NOT reboot the phone)
apply the su binary
boot into the OS and test root
make sure busybox is properly installed
run ADB shell
then:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.bak
Boot back into the bootloader and re-flash CWM, should stay permanent now.l had applied the SU binary at the same time as the OTA update, then renamed the installer script and flashed back CWM.

This is a totally unorthodox way to make the custom recovery permanent. If your phone is messed up, good luck fixing it.
There is a much easier and safer way like I mentioned.
PS: flashing recovery for 2.3.4 is the exact same as for 2.3.3!

Hi Bante, I am sorry for the inconvenience. I have revert back the CWM Recovery to 3.0.2.4. You can download it at the link above, and try it again
I hope that the problem you mention wont persist anymore

I am sorry but not all people can successfully use Command Prompt to do so.
I cant use command prompt, as it says "Image cant be loaded".
So I had to use this method.
I search around the forum and seen this as a quite common problem,
so I decided to share it
Hope you understand.
Anyway, thanks for your method too Cheers

The CWM Recovery I supplied is version 3.0.2.5,
which is not compatible.
So I replaced with version 3.0.2.4.
You just download it at the link above and follow all the step again.
You should able to solve this problem
Do notify me if any problem persist

Wow people like to make things complicated. Why install an entire rom to get ride of a script?
if you can flash cwm, you should have some basic understanding of fastboot, adb and the search options in the forums. the answers are all there already.

No disrespect, I agree flashing recoverys should only be done after you understand how to use the tools to do it. there is no reason someone who is going to mod systems on their nexus shouldn't be able to use fastboot and adb properly. all the right drivers are in the sdk.

This is what I did.
I rooted my NS, which had 2.3.3
Used phone with stock 2.3.3 until I figured out which ROM I want to flash.
Before I flashed any ROM, did a Nandroid Backup through CWM.
Used the ROM for a few days, but when I saw that official update is ready for download for i9020A, did do a restore from the Nandroid backup I created.
Updated from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4, phone works fantastic, video chat also works great.
After update when I tried using any of the apps required SU permission, they didn't work. I tried installing a couple of .apk files, couldn't either install it or after installation it didn't work.
Thought let me try wiping my phone clean and start all over again, may be I will use a custom ROM again, downloaded ROM, went to ROM Manager to reboot into recovery, nothing happens.
Tried booting into Recovery option manually by pressing Volume Up and Power button, nothing happens but the Bot with an Arrow appears on screen.
So, I thought I will follow this procedure to reflash CWM to my phone and get it going. I was able to use the command FastBoot once, and suceeded pushing .img file to my phone but now whenever I try using the commands from my computer, this error message appears : "This application has failed to start becasue AdbWinApi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
Why this error message if I have the sdk on my computer already through which I was once able to push .img file without any troubles?
Can anyone tell me what would be a possible solution?
Also, how can I fix this problem and get ClockWorkMod Recovery installed on my NS again?
How can I get stock recovery image on my phone if I want start all over again from scratch?
Thx a million.
Edit ::: I found the answer as to how to how to install CWM again. Thx anyways.
Other question still remains a puzzle... why am I not able to install certain programs or if did manage to install, can't run them?
I ran your method and I think I'm stuck at some step...
My phone now default boots into CWM 3.0.2.4
Recovery boots to a newer recovery I flashed.
How do I get my phone to default boot into the OS again?
Edit: nevermind, just downloaded the full 2.3.4 rom, extracted and flashed the original boot.img.

After installing the sdk and a platform, I have adb, but where is fastboot?
I was getting the same error as "Image cant be loaded". after hours of struggling I found that It's only because I was not in the same directory as the img file. silly eh?
hi,did you repaiar your phone,i have try everything but it just keep going in clockwork mode,if i than pres reboot now in clockworkmode it stays on google padlock
i realy need phone if you can help or someone else,than ....
just tried this method of window7 (thanks for the work) with cwm 3.0.2.4, but got the same result like the others in this thread: cant boot the android 2.3.4, the system is always booting into the cwm, no way out.
I don't think this tool works as it should.
:-(
EDIT:
I didn't realize that window7's tool would install the cwm into the boot-partition instead of the recovery-partition.
To get my boot partition back I downloaded the 2.3.4 firmware image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062 and extracted the boot.img from the zip.
with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" I restored my orginal boot partition an can boot into android again.
(fastboot is part of the android sdk)

Help with Clockworkmod Recovery needed!!

Hi guys, I'm new to this. I followed the exact instructions from Cyanogen Wiki on how to install Clockworkmod Recovery on a stock (2.2 Froyo) Vz Fascinate using Heimdall. I got the blue bar in download mode showing that 'recovery.bin' was successfully loaded onto the phone, but then when I try to boot in it (3-button method), I get the blue (3e) Recovery (probably the stock one). So, when I try to flash CM7, I get a "file verification failed" or similar message, probably because stock recovery doesn't allow custom roms. I have no idea what to do next. I've tried flashing clockworkmod again, tried again and again...same thing (I've also tried recovery boot from ADB, same thing, I get the blue (3e) recovery). I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks for the reply. I just did it with Odin following your instructions, worked flawlessly. I don't get it why it doesn't work with Heimdall (and why CM folks use Heimdall). One thing though, I didn't remove the battery at all during the process . Thanks bro.

CM7 is pre-rooted.

[Q] Why is this so hard to install recovery!

Greetings,
First I'm sorry if this isn't the right thread for this, I'll gladly delete and change threads if need be.
Second, I just got an LG G2 (Verizon) today. It's great but I want more so I rooted it, confirmed that it's rooted. But that's all I can do. I can't install a recovery app on here to save my life. I tried downloading the VZW recovery img and pushing that with the loki_flash but I got two errors mainly.
Input file is not a valid loki image and Loki aboot does not match device. I'm trying to run either TWRP or CWM, anything really so I can flash a custom ROM on this bad boy.
If the image is not a valid loki image I'm assuming I don't have the right pair of files? (loki/recovery) and if the aboot image doesn't match the device I'm assuming that I don't have the right loki? Are these correct assumptions or am I making an ass out of just me???
My phone is rooted, ROM Manager says I have both TWRP AND CWM on my phone but if I try to boot into recovery via ROM Manager or adb I get a black screen and nothing more.
Does anyone have ANY insight at all into how I can go about the next step?

TWRP
Follow the install instructions for TWRP 2.6.3.2. Then after you've confirmed you can boot the OS from the recovery, place the 2.6.3.3 on the root of your SD. Reboot into recovery and flash 2.6.3.3. Reboot into recovery again and you'll be good to go.
Version 2.6.3.2 won't flash 4.4 ROMs but 2.6.3.3 will flash 4.2 (I'm assuming), 4.3, and 4.4.
Download FreeGee app from the play store and install TWRP recovery from it. It was the only way I could install it on my LG G2.
So many

I followed many tutorials last night including this one.
(I am too new to post links in a message.) The link I was going to post was from howtorootmobiledotcom
I downloaded any version of TWRP I could, there were only 2, one img of each version and one zip. I used the loki from the zip that came with it as well but still no go.

I used RussGJohnson solution and it worked in a matter of seconds. Now I'm stuck though. I wiped everything and can boot into TWRP but I have no ability to sideload anything. I have all the latest LG drivers, even the lastest android sdk drivers, nothing is working. If I boot up normally the LG logo comes up and just sits there.
I can boot into recovery using the whole volume down + power button combo but then when I go to sideload my computer isn't seeing the device. I'm on a Win 8 machine using the stock cable. I've tried both USB 2 and 3 ports
It's done
Using RussGJohnson's suggestion worked great.
The issue I had with being unable to sideload a ROM wasn't resolved but I just used my Mac to do it instead. That worked just fine. Win8 couldn't recognize the device while in recovery. Go figure.
free gee very fast
Use Flashify u n00b.

Have you tryed FreeGee from Playstore?
Read in the same thread you show that someone got recovery with that apk.
Just download TWRP 2.7.0.0 and you should be ok.
Nevertheless, read the last pages of the thread you mencioned and you will find a solution.

I'd recommend flashify to flash recovery images. You can download it from the play store. So easy to make a typo and mess things up with adb and dd.
You could do it with a terminal or adb shell. Say you store the image in /sdcard
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
Verify mmcblk0p14 is recovery before you try this. I'm pretty sure that's right, but I don't have my tablet right now and you can make a serious mess of your device this way if you overwrite the wrong partition. Check it by listing your partitions with this:
Code:
su
ls -al /dev/block/platform/*/by-name
By default this little tablet does not have fastboot, but you can enable it with this method. I've zeroed out my laf partition and verified I can boot into fastboot mode, but I've never actually used it to flash anything. It just seemed like a good idea to have fastboot available to fall back on rather than LG download mode since there was no kdz available for the V410 for a long time.

Thank you! the thing is i bricked my g pad, i really dont know much about the tab because the lack of support it has. I was using it with cm12.1 and i use a stock recovery founded in Android central to revert back to stock, but in TWRP i flashed the img as recovery and also as boot, so the g pad entered in a bootloop were only enters in stock recovery, my Windows 10 laptop doesn't recognize the tab when in adb sideload, and doesn't know much about adb Shell, i'm following the comandas you wrote but i'm always getting error: closed.
i know how to get back to stock using the kdz, but using the kdz will make the partition issue and will have to folllow a looong looong process.
If you could give me a hand with this i would really apprecciate it
Sorry I've never encountered the adb closed problem myself, but I have heard about it before. Some people have reported the following series of commands fixes it:
Code:
adb usb
adb devices
adb kill-server
adb start-server
The first two commands normally don't really do anything and its pretty obvious what the second two do, but some people have reported success doing this.
Some people have reported the closed error was fixed by updating their adb binary. If you're using the android-sdk update platform-tools, or if you're using a standalone adb consider looking for an update for it.
Good luck. That procedure to get things back to normal following using the kdz to restore sounds messy.

Thank you! the thing is i bricked my g pad, i really dont know much about the tab because the lack of support it has. I was using it with cm12.1 and i use a stock recovery founded in Android central to revert back to stock, but in TWRP i flashed the img as recovery and also as boot, so the g pad entered in a bootloop were only enters in stock recovery, my Windows 10 laptop doesn't recognize the tab when in adb sideload, and doesn't know much about adb Shell, i'm following the comandas you wrote but i'm always getting error: closed.
i know how to get back to stock using the kdz, but using the kdz will make the partition issue and will have to folllow a looong looong process.
If you could give me a hand with this i would really apprecciate it

here's a link to an image I made before flashing twrp on my v410. I've restored it with dd and flashify and it works fine. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1l3W9XHAqEgX0ZCUWc1QTlfWjg/edit?usp=docslist_api

I flashed stock rooted 4.4.2, and I want to OTA to Stock Lollipop, but it says there is no update. Any ideas of how I can get back to fully stock? Would flashing this stock recovery make it work? Is being rooted blocking the OTA update from seeing an available update?

If you applied an OTA with a custom recovery installed it might soft brick your tablet, but I don't see why that would stop it from detecting and downloading the update. It is always safest to flash stock recovery, fully unroot, and undo any modifications you've made to /system before taking an OTA, but some devices are more picky than others. With what you're describing I'm afraid that even if you do unroot and flash stock recovery your tablet still won't find the OTA.
Do you have a nandroid backup of an unmodified stock ROM you could restore?
And just so you know that lollipop bootloader is not vulnerable to the bump exploit, so no custom recovery or ROMs if you get it to apply.
Whenever I type "reboot recovery" in terminal emulator, it boots straight to factory reset. I have tried this multiple times with both dd and flashify. Do you know what causes this? I'm downloading the OTA right now, I hope it doesn't wipe then too...
please help
i was a dumbass and accidently flashed my boot instead of recovery do you by chance have a boot.img that i can use to reflash my boot.img please help as im really stuck..thanks in advance

Download the timmytim stock ROM, and extract the boot.img from it. There are probably quicker ways, but having the stock ROM on hand is a good idea.

Thank you...
I resolved my issue i had forgotten in my haste i posted the same question in two different sections. However after fixing everything my tablet was broke not the out glass but the inner display. I cant afford another one or a replacement part to even fix mine. So unless i can find one someone who bricked theirs completely or get a handme down im tabless for awhile.... Thank you though for the reply. The original boot file wouldnt work properly i had to use the boot file from the stock rooted rom and not the timmytim deoxedized rom.. i dont know why unless the bootfile is specific to each rom. Maybe i did something wromg during the flash. But i had gotten it fixed nevertheless.

The stock rooted is by timmytim ?
I forgot about deodexed, actually.
Glad you fixed boot, shame your tablet broke ?
