I bought a phone pre rooted and everything. It was nice, but the problem is I am having trouble changing the recovery on the phone.
For a long time I had TWRP 2.6.3.4. I could not flash any recovery over it. I was finally able to flash TWRP 2.6.3.1 using the same method to get TWRP. At that point I'm still not able to flash a recovery over TWRP.
I just discovered "flashify" tonight where I had flashed the CWR image for the d800. Now I can't even boot into recovery. It acts like I have non. I can boot into android no-problem though.
When I use "flashify" or "Recovery Tools" they claim I still have TWRP 2.6.3.1.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Can someone please help me.
I too tried flashing CWM over TWRP using Flashify, but it didn't work, it still said I had TWRP. However, Flashify did work to revert back to Stock Recovery.
I still have the backup file of the Stock Recovery, I can upload it somewhere if you want to, then maybe you can install CWM.
I have a D802 myself, not sure if my backup would work with your D800 though. but if you're adventurous...

I was able to get back a version of TWRP following this: http://theunlockr.com/2013/11/03/flash-custom-recovery-lg-g2-versions-video/
Still don't know why I can't get other recoveries like CWR or why almost all versions of CM will fail to flash using TWRP
EDIT
I miss read you post. I thought you had a copy of TWRP. Go ahead and send the the stock recovery as that's one thing I have yet to try..

Well now I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Even for custom recoveries there are different files to download for D800 and D802. I don't think my backup would be compatible with your variant.
If you want CM, try flashing Official Nightlies. I've heard they are stable. I flashed CM11 Nightly with TWRP 2.6.3.4 just fine. You can grab it for D800 here.

Mine never works. I think its a MD5 error or something. I can only get one version of CM running and I think it's 10.2, I assume my whole phone is just messed up. Not being able to flash CM or recoveries.
Try going back to stock and starting over? Did you by chance take the 10o ota? That seems to be causing issues for others.

I was able to get CWM.
So far I've come to the conclusion. The only way to change recoveries is through the PC and not from the phone it's self
Found it, nevermind

Yes use the new IOROOT15 to root the device. But I have been unsuccessful in flashing any roms, however I did get twrp to work with FreeGee app in the android market.
I appreciate your help very much, thank you

I've been unsuccessful in getting any roms to work. I tried 4.2.2 rom and got lg screen then black, had to restore nand backup from twrp recovery but it was hellish to get into, had to do the hold vol+pwr precisely, almost gave up. So, reverted to a backup just fine.
Next tried to loki_flash recovery 2.6.3.1 (then was going to do them in order-2.6.3.2>2.6.3.3 [have not tried going directly to 2.6.3.3) and was hit with an unsupported aboot error (device mismatch).
So now i'm going to try and use flash tool to revert back to 11A, root, install twrp (I hope this is possible and I don't brick my phone [i'm new to all of this])
Anyone tell me if this is an acceptable option to proceed? Thank's in advance.
Acceptable. KDZ to 11A.
Just wanted to post I was successful using lg flash tool to revert to 11A, rooted, freegee twrp, flashed 2.6.3.3, flashed OSE ROM. Everything is well ATM!

Hi,
I have an LG G2 D802 and already installed TWRP 2.6.3.4 for installing zip-files. But now there is an update (only browser, but 4.4 shouldn't be that far away), but without stock recovery it's impossible to install it I know the way how to get back to stock completely, but I don't want to go back to stock every time there is an update, installing all of them and then reinstall TWRP. I think on CWM the problem is the same, but i don't want to miss the camera tweak and splitwindow, so I need an custom recovery for the zip-files:crying: Is there any way to get the stock recovery back without installing complete stock or at least a possibility, to only "boot" the custom recovery when I'm back on stock, like on Nexus devices, and only use it for the flashing and then lose it on the next reboot?
You should be able to push stock recovery via adb or even flashify ( I prefer adb tho). What build number do you have?

I have D80210a-EUR-XX. But where can I find the stock recovery? And btw: what was the adb command for flashing? With my Nexus 4 I only used the ToolKit, because I was never able to use adb through the normal Win7 cmd, only through the toolkit...
most likely, but cannot confirm it, you ooen a stock kdz, and try flashing the kernel .img thats inside, I am not sure
anyone confirm it works that way

for all I know, the kernel doesn't contain any recovery... but I will test it tomorrow, when I downloaded the kdz if you could say me how to open a kdz-file.

here is a link to D802 recovery.img file i found, however its for the 10B build. you should be ok as i dont think the recovery has changed much from 10A to 10B, however i cannot confirm this. use this at your own risk, unless someone can confirm this will recovery will work.

If it's not working, I have a backup of the current. but I will test it tomorrow, then I have more time. But thanks for the quick answers.
Flashing the 10B recovery image worked well. But installing the update I only get an error so I go back to stock now.
I saw that flashify can flash zip files. Does it flash them itself or does it also need a custom recovery to flash them with it and flashify is only some sort of automtatisation? Then I could use this when I'm back on stock 10A (there seems to be no 10B for my device).

I've had similar problem, i think I just installed the KDZ file trough the way they showing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
It just erased the rooy and TWRP, and all of the apps and settings did not change, its like a repach.
at least it should be. but I can't take the last step. "By turning off, Holding down power and Vol Down until it comes up on the screen." doesn't works, there only starts the normal software, and that's the old one. And unpacking the kdz file with 7zip or Peazip also don't work. Peazip can do ist, but I have to find out how to let it extract it. After installing it, there is another file with the same name, but it's an .cab file with password. If I boot over widgetsoid into recovery (I think this is what the manual means) there is only a little droid with a read sign. How to get further?
EDIT: found out how to come into that menu. It wants to make a hard reset so I make an backup first.
Finally I was able to install the complete new software version (D80210e-EUR-XX) over the LG PC Suite. The file downloaded from the manual seemed to be corrupted or so as it only caused an unpacking error in the programm.
Does anybody knows a way how to flash a zip without a custom rom? Flash Gordon seems to not work.
Hi,
I've recently installed cwm 6.0.4.4 on my LG G2. It installed pretty flawlessly, and I can flash pretty much any custom ROM... Except the ones running 4.4 or higher. I flashed CM 10.2 and it runs well, but when I try to install CM11, or any other kitkat rom I get this error:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error in /data/media/0/[Insert name of rom here]
(status 7)
Installation aborted
I get the same error every time, no matter what 4.4 rom I try to flash.
I also tried TWRP (whatever the latest version is) and I also get an error.
Any idea how to fix this frustrating issue?
Thanks
Try redownloading the ROM or a different ROM sounds like a bad download I can't help you much because I have the verizon variant but try doing that and it sounds like you can restore backups so prob just a bad download
I Am NoT responsible for any bricks when you root flash or anything like that hope you get it working

Maybe try TWRP.
Its gotta be the recovery.
Sorry I have a VS980, I honestly have issues with TWRP and use the recovery you have.
You could use flashify direct from your device if you hunt down the .IMG.
Give it a shot. BTW not my problem it you brick your phone... I will however try to help you get back up and running.

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.

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.

BTW, you didn't have issues before bc most att roms esp TW are loki'd--

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:

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.

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.

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.

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--

Okay so i have a few questions here its been a while since i have placed a Rom onto my device the last one was a Sprint model of the G2 and i was able to successfully install CM12 nightly onto it.
With my T-Mobile G2 i had used the once click root application to do so and used auto rec from the app store to install TWRP recovery hopefully i didn't do anything wrong at this point. So now i try to boot into recovery using the power and the down key at the same time but when i did this i was prompted with do you want to reset all data or not and i of course i chose no and booted back home.
Yes i have Super Su with granting access so to solve this minor problem. I had the quick boot application here to boot into recovery but another problem persisted. I cant flash anything over it fails every time and i am trying to flash 5.1.1 cm 12 i think with gapps with 5.1 i believe but in doing so still failed it matched up and everything. I thought that maybe i was trying to flash something that's really not compatible with my phone so i tried to use the same rom but different carriers.
It was cm-12-20150406-NIGHTLY-D801.zip and gapps-lp-20150222-signed but still failed to install the rom? is there something im doing wrong? May i have a tutorial step by step on what to do to successfully flash? and why cant i boot into recovery with the button configuration did i do something wrong with that i just want to so that if theirs a boot load epidermic and i need to use that to restore and see what the problem is? just need help please

There's no way anyone can read that without any punctuation marks or any paragraph order.
Basically, the data reset function doesn't work when you have a custom recovery, that's how you enter it. But the TWRP version installed is usually old, somewhat like 2.7.0.0, so you need to update it before installing any roms.
If you really do have recovery installed when you get to the screen about erasing data just choose yes and yes and it will just take you to recovery. If that's too scary for you then just boot into recovery using an app like rebooter from the play store.
As far as flashing it sounds like you may have downloaded bad files. If you're using your phone to download the roms maybe try using a pc then transferring to your phone. And DON'T flash roms for a different carrier, you're just asking for trouble.

As far as flashing it sounds like you may have downloaded bad files. If you're using your phone to download the roms maybe try using a pc then transferring to your phone. And DON'T flash roms for a different carrier, you're just asking for trouble.

I used my computer to download the files all together and the problem still persisted.
And that i do know to not flash with different Carrier did it with a s4 without thinking.

The problem might be that you are on the wrong bootloader so v30 lollipop. As loki and bump don't work on it it will result into an failed flash. What you can do is flash the right bootloader or easily downgrade bootloader and bootstack with autorec for your phone. Read carefully which one you need for your tmobile d801. If there is an loki error then just flash the jellybean bootloader what you easily can do with autorec.

Well you download the right version for your d801
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=13763
Then you need to install it
Click on the lollipop and let it do its job. If it asks for root then allow it.
It will probably reboot and you are done. Only need to flash then a newer recovery. Also search bender_007 on xda and leave him a thanks perhaps for his app

Well, as far as I know autorec downgrades to jb bootloader, to boot into stock you could find d801 lp modem and d801 lp bootstack/bootloader as it might need kk bootloader

With cm12 I am not sure but the cause could be perhaps the wrong modem, and or bootloader. I also suggest to check out newer custom roms the only cyanogenmod as some custom roms are already running on lollipop modem and caf. CAF is code aurora forum so kinda it will also have changes specifically for qualcomm devices.
