Every link I follow to get a recovery that can flash a 4.4 rom I d801 either takes me to the recovery I already have or to another variant. Is neither cwm or twrp no longer supporting recoveries for the d801? I broke down an decided to ask a question I'm sure has been asked before, because I've looked for days and came up with nothing. I just need a flashable zip to update with I have.

I'm completely new to Loki, can someone answer these questions, please?
1. On Verizon, which Recovery is my best choice?
2. Is Loki built in the recovery?
3. Once I have recovery can I just flash roms, etc. From recovery like normal? Nothing extra?
I did search, so please, your answers and time are appreciated.

Get TWRP from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670
Install instructions are included in that thread. I used flashify but heard others had issues.
Once its installed you can flash ROMs and the one kernel or mods till you drop.
So Loki makes s off obsolete?

See this tread I wrote about installing Loki-enabled ClockworkMod recovery on Verizon LG G2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498941
1) Either CWM or TWRP. I don't think either is "best"; they generally do the same things. Each recovery has its fans. The tread above is specific to CWM recovery.
2) By default, no. I created Loki-enabled images for CWM. There is a loki-enabled image for TWRP if you wish to use that. Once you have the image handy, you can use the steps described in the post above to install it.
3) Once you have CWM or TWRP custom recovery, You can flash custom ROMs like normal.

Dear All,
I desperate need of help here. Sorry if I may sound Noob on this topic. I have international LG G2 (D802) - Rooted with custom recovery TWRP.
I'm not able install some custom roms based on Android 4.4.+ with error msg stating....
1. Error executing updater binary in zip
2. Status 7 . installation abort.
I did google on this subject and tried every single method from editing the binary file upto switching over the recovery (from TWRP to CWM) but still the problem exist
My guess is...... it may occur due to unlocked bootloader............. I don't know the status of my bootloader.......... just need help in unlocking the bootloader....
Just use search and not only google...
Flashing Philz recovery should help.
Aand you can not unlock the bootloader of a g2 btw.

I used to and still have the status 7 error often in galaxy s 2 and what u do is unpack rom and open update script in notepad ++ and remove the first 3 lines where it describes about get prop make sure to place the cursor on the start of first line and hold delete until the first 3 lines are removed and 4th lime sits in 1st line exactly without any further changes save it and repack it as it was before and try if it helps.

I went to stock and started over with the updated twrp with the new lok support. Finally able to flash a few things again.
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?

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.

No, you'll need a computer for at least part of the process. What firmware ate you on?

Just read this guide:

You can't install a custom recovery if you have mk2 firmware your bootloader is locked and currently the only way to run a custom ROM is to use safe strap. You can try this to unbrick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573080 or take it to a best buy with a Samsung experience shop and beg them to flash it.

Well not sure what steps to do as the phone is in download mode. I see the 4th post in that thread has boot modem and recovery and that seems to be what screwed up flashing twrp. I could try that set of steps and see or can I flash back to the previous firmware and be all good and hope the MK2 ota is pushed to me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I467 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well I flashed the stock recovery and boot img and I got my phone back. Will wait to see if twrp gets supported before flashing a custom rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I467 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You can't get twrp to work unless someone counteracts sammy's bootloader lockdown--I don't see that happening anytime soon
You need to use SafeStrap as mentioned--read up a lot on it in the General and Q&A sections
You can still flash a fair number of quality roms, but you are limited
You must use SafeStrap's recovery, which if memory serves me, is loosely based on twrp
I'm new to the G2... Coming from the Gnex. Just want to get a little clarification prior to going flash happy. After activating I took the 12b update. Rooted and used freegee to flash a custom recovery. Made a stock rooted back up... So, now can I flash back and forth between 4.4.X & 4.2.X ROMs? Do I have to wait to flash some ROMs until they're updated because I'm on 12b? Also, I'm assuming the bootloader is locked hence the need for freegee correct? If this is the case, will we ever be able to flash a recovery without the need for freegee or other tools of that nature?
Thanks?
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
Yes. Only flash ones that are loki patched with the correct version. There is a workaround here, but most roms will have info if patched or not. Freege is just for simple flashing of recovery if you don't want to adb push. Boatloader is locked, but firmware/loki make the incompatibilities with some roms.
Is the end result the same if I flash a recovery with freegee or by pushing it via adb?
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
Also, are all of the roms within the Verizon G2 development section compatible or do I still need to verify they're Loki patched?
Thanks so much?
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
Yes, same result on recovery. I'm not quite sure and do not think so. I would verify.
You are welcome.

Ok, I apologize, but I'm still a bit confused. If all Verizon G2's require a type of backdoor recovery utilizing tools such as freegee why aren't all roms on the Verizon development thread compatible? There aren't many roms listed in the Verizon thread that specify being loki patched... do I have to do something different in order to flash these roms that don't specify being loki patched?
Thank you, I do appreciate your response.
