Updating twrp to 2.6.3.3

I can not seem to find a guide for this or a straight answer, but how can I update twrp from 2.6.3.2 to 2.6.3.3?
I used the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 to flash to 2.6.3.2 without issue. But the new updated 2.6.3.3 is a .zip instead of a .img. Would all I need to do is download the 2.6.3.3 zip file and flash the same way I would a new ROM?

thats right .. just flash it in recovery.. :good:

Thanks that's what I thought

Thanx For The Info!!
Thanx For The Info!!

On my VS980 (Verizon G2), I had TWRP 2.6.3.2 working. I tried to flash the 2.6.3.3 ZIP that I downloaded straight from TWRP, and the flash failed - I think TWRP gave a generic error about the update script, can't remember.
Then, I found this page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472223
I tried flashing the Verizon .IMG with flashify, but it left me unable to access Recovery (small white letters I couldn't read, then black screen). I then reflashed .2, downloaded the .3 ZIP file from the above XDA link, and was able to successfully upgrade by flashing in recovery.
FWIW...

Somewhere on gummy Rom thread there is a fixed zip, sorry can't be more precise but it works

and this zip works for all of the g2 versions, or just one of them?

I was able to flash 2.6.3.3 through 2.6.3.2 with no issue

TWRP 2.6.3.3 fixes the long wiping cache issue right along with providing Android 4.4 support?

Any idea why there are two pages for the Sprint G2? The usual one with 2.6.3.3 and an LS980 page with 2.6.6.4?

Mine wouldn't update straight, I had to flash CWM first and then it worked fine.

Android 4.4 support: Yes
Faster Cache wiping: Some say yes, some say no. I haven't noticed anything horrible on my VS980 with either version.

If you already have a custom recovery and just updating it with a zip file. You just flash it in recovery like it is a ROM. Then you can reboot recovery and be in the new version.

I have been trying to do the same, over and over again, I think the only way is to go back to stock, but since the Root method I used required TWRP, that won't help either and that I had to install via ADB, I would love to find an answer to this too

Here is your answer!

Which version of TWRP are yours?
You can download the newest one (2.6.3.4) here
I downloaded the flashable one and then installed CM 11 just fine.
My phone is D802 too.
Hope I can help! :fingers-crossed:

i flashed it with flashify using this copy of CWM
hmm didnt see that you were using the d802...not sure if this will work or not. If you want to try it be my guest. otherwise get on the AndIRC channel and ask around thats what I did.

Also you can replace the recovery from terminal.
Here is the link. Just did it and tested successfully.

[Q] LG-G2 D800 LGG2 Recovery Problems

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.

Is there a windows software out there that can bring me to stock sort of like the NexusToolkit for Nexus devices.

I'm currently running CyanogenMod "10.2.0-d800", there is no "Software Information" or "Version"

Recovered back to Clean ROM 2.0
Software version: d80210b
EDIT:
Using this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468858
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

[Q] Trouble installing kitkat roms on D802, help?

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

TWRP 2.6.3.2 isn't the latest release, so that might be your problem. Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469995 flash the new zip from your current TWRP, and you should be able to flash KitKat ROMs now. Or, if you prefer CWM, there's PhilZ Touch CWM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554053

This guy had a similar issue. I would say try installing PhilZ Touch CWM for the 802.
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.

[HELP][6.0.1][CM] How can I flash a Recovery in MARSHMALLOW

Hello.
I have a D805 LG G2, flashed with CM 13.0 Nightly. [Running 6.0.1]
The problem is THERE'S NO RECOVERY. [Wait...What?]
From the Start:
-CSE Flash
-Flashed CM 13.0 [using Bumped TWRP from AutoRec]
Now I can't update my CM 13.0, because everytime that boot into recovery gives the SecureBoot error.
I can't loki because of unsupported aboot error. (Some users said that Loki was patched in 4.4)
I found AutoRec type for D855 (MarshMellow) but there's no version for D805 (or D802)
Tryed "dd" but not working.
All the apps in playstore don't work.
There's no way to flash TWRP now? I don't want to CSE Flash again and lose all my data.
[If anyone want some files from D805, pm me. Links for Aboot.img or such.] [I almost started porting D805 for CyanogenMod but got no time to do it.]

for the bootloop did you installed hybridbootstacks that should get it going. i think
if not make sure you clean wipe, and install hybrid, then go to main menu reboot into twrp from twrp then continue to flash rom and gapps

Another question, Do F2FS gives a performance boost in LG Phones? Because there's this post about a benchmark using EXT4 in one phone and F2FS in the other...
EDIT: G2_Security files seems to do nothing, just stands like a random file in my /sdcard/
EDIT2: Another question, what's better: TWRP or CyanogenMod Custom Recovery?
EDIT3: Ugh, Recovery with TWRP works but "crashes" on startup and goes back to android.

yes it does i guess a little performance but it does.
twrp from blastagator as it has thermal control so you dont heat up your screen and burn it or damaged.
