Need help with recovery - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys I'm new at this and I was able to root vs98012b. I tried putting clockwork recovery on it but now wen I try to reboot into recovery the screen is just black. The back light is on but nothing happens. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Bet you are using rom manager? Get flashify or freegee and install with one of those instead.

I tried flashify but rebooting into recovery didn't work. Do you by any chance have a link to where I can get the flashable zip for clockwork recovery for the vs98012b for Verizon

Twrp sometimes takes a few minutes to boot for me. Sometimes taking out the SD card seems to speed it up. But yeah drives me nuts.

2.6.0.0 and 2.6.1.0 seem to both do that for many folks.
People seem to have the best luck with 2.5.0.2. Here's a flashable zip of that version:

Never had TWRP just not start at all. 2.6.0 was slow to load, as noted above, but did load every time. I'm running the latest now, 2.6.3, and it seems to load quicker.
I was able to use it for a few days with the power and volume up key no problem. Then when I tried to go into the recovery it would not load several times and I thought I have no recovery. Then I went into the program goo manager and was able to easily launch the recovery from there. Hope that helps someone get back into a working recovery.

Yea. Root checker says no root and SU says I need to update binary but won't let me and I don't even know how to get into recovery. Should've just stayed unrooted till I understood more about this stuff. I'm completely lost. Still tinkering though hopefully I fix it

[Q] Flashing TWRP

Okay guys,
I'm having the hardest time trying to get TWRP on my phone right now. I've followed all the steps with going into adb and running the loki push and everything else, but its not working. any suggestions?
try the freegee app in play store
Or download the app "Flashify" from playstore.. When you open it for the first time, it will install twrp recovery...if your device is supported... What phone do you use..?

I have vs980 as well and flashify worked wonderfully for me. Very easy.

[Q] Wiped Everything, How to Recover?

I wiped everything in TWRP, Now all I can do is go to the LG screen start screen and back into TWRP.
I have a D803, is my best method of recovery to do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
Were you just trying to factory reset? You might have wiped system as well. If so, you would need to flash another ROM. But if you literally wiped everything, then that means you wiped internal storage, too. Which means you will not have anything to flash in twrp. Therefore, yes, you will have to use the flash tool in that link, and flash the stock image
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
Awesome, Thanks. I knew I was doing something wrong, when I wiped it. But I guess I get to learn a little more, the hard way.
If you haven't ran lg stock tool yet you can sideload a ROM using adb. Hold on and let me find the link. That way you don't lose root or twrp

No problem. So are you up and running? All fixed?
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
No, thank you for the follow up though.
It just happened that when I did this I was one day into a 7 day shift at work(a mining camp) and for some reason the LG Mobile Upgrade Tool won't install on my computer, which I think is because of the networks here.
So I am really hoping that it will install when I get home, It installs to 10% then stops and the only info I can find on the problem is to try deleting all other LG apps first and changing Firewall/proxy settings, which I cannot change here.
If you have any other ideas that would be appreciated. I asked LG on their website for any help with the app install.

Thanks, I never saw this post, I am a real beginner at all of this, can I really just sideload a ROM, because the other method is the kdz file. I only question this, because one file is 211MB and the other is 1.8GB am I missing something else? Also if sideloading does not work, can I still try the flash method after? Im not worried about losing root or twrp, as they are very easy to reinstall.
Hey Guys,
It took me a little while, but it worked perfectly. Thank you for your help.
