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?

Thanks awesome downloaded the zip file, could you please give me the steps on how to flash it ?
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.

So I am rooted running twrp, and want to flash task650 rom. But I am getting a failure when I try. I also went to cwm and get same thing, status 7. This sucks because I love his rom. From what I understand, he uses a recovery with auto loki, so removed loki from his title. Since I have an unlocked bootloader, and he uses a auto loki recovery. Shouldn't I be able to flash his rom just like with the s3?

I didn't use that method, I used auto root from chainfire then installed twrp from goo, rebooted into recovery and full system wipe and tried flashing as usual. No go. I then flashed cm jfltecan and no problem... So Idk. As far as I know the root method shouldn't make a difference. I am also using latest twrp. I also tried the cwm touch recovery... Stumped!

Well I figured since I just rooted today and installed latest recoveries, np. I am reaching the end of my knowledge on recoveries. Task requires you to use shabby penguins auto loki cwm based recovery.... So problem must be Based on the rom itself maybe

I guess I will have to go and modify the zip file and remove the assert prop to get it to work, looks like the only way

Your 100% correct...just gotta change the assert in the updater-script (or remove the assert all together)...its put their by default to prevent flashing a different device roms (like HTC one on sgs4) but obviously in our case we don't need to worry about compatibility except for the kernel
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
Well if any one finds this thread, it works. I just edited the zip file and deleted assert in script and it flashed NP. But stupidly I used goo to install twrp after I flashed and it automatically installed the loki version. I had to odin the Canadian tar file back to get my recovery working, so any canadians who do what I did, do not update your recovery through rom manager or goo or else it will install the lokified version.

Thanks for that! Now I am not completely up to speed on kernels, I know what they do in a vague way, but will be educating myself in the coming weeks, but shouldn't att kernels work for Canadian devices? If they don't always, what she I be on the lookout for? I will be doing some research on them as I have a chance... Hard right now as I have a 2 year old!

Update guessing is the ota? You can use flashify app from play store to flash either TWRP recovery 2.6.3.2 that is a IMG. Or 2.6.3.3. That's a zip file .....
Okay will try

I just read in another thread that custom recoveries cannot yet be flashed on the latest OTA. You have to revert back in order to have a custom recovery. According to this thread.

I am aware of the guides the nice people have come up with but is there an easier way such as an application? I remember, before I flashed back firmware, it was ten times easier and required no adb or commands on my end. I also flashed it over CWM which I had at the time.

What ROM are you currently on? Are you rooted? If on a Jellybean ROM and rooted just use Freegee from the market to install latest TWRP or Cwm instantly with no fuss. If you are on a KitKat ROM you need to downgrade which can be a long process.

Back up EFS, and then back THAT up to your computer. THEN proceed to whatever it is you rooted for.
Definitely back efs up

if you are on 10d you can use this,just download the file and click recovery and everything should work. phone has to be on charge and not MTP.download both files in the download and place them in a recovery folder or whatever you choose to call it.
for ATT or international versions.here you go:
hang on uploading the zip

Hello all, I've got an LG G2 LS980 on 4.2.2 Jellybean. (I do not want to update to Kitkat) I cannot seem to install a custom recovery. I've read multiple guides and followed them all perfectly.. The ones using loki flash always give an error such as "Not a valid loki image" or "aboot version does not match the device" I've tried using the dd command on teamwin's site as well and all it did was completely remove my stock recovery. I've spent days trying to get this to work, please could someone help
