I've spent hours scouring these forums for this answer and I can't figure this out and need help. I had a flash go bad and caused me to hang at the LG logo. I followed the instructions on how to revert to stock and after several attempts and methods, I managed to get to a Verizon boot loop after flashing the 12b kdz. Then using the tot method, I got the 11a to work. So, now I am back to stock and re-rooted with ioroot20.
Now no matter what I do, I cannot boot to CWM recovery. Please help. All I can get is the Android laying on his side with an exclamation point inside a red triangle.

Since you flashed back to stock, the restore process restored stock recovery (dead android with red exclamation). You need to reinstall a custom recovery.

I've done that several times. The way I am doing it is through clockwork and just letting it download. Is there another way I should be doing it?

You can use the adb file in ioroot to flash your recovery. Adb will verify if your recovery has been flashed properly.
Use one of these files

That worked! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. What a simple solution.
What does that do different than installing through CWM?

I rooted using ioroot12 and tried installing recovery using both play store CWM installer for D800 as well as a manual install using the method shown in a thread in the D800 development forum. Both methods appear to install successfully but when I reboot to recovery I get a black screen (can tell black light is lit though) and nothing else. Holding the power eventually reboots phone back into the stock os. When in the broken recovery status and connected to computer via USB I get a slew of drive letters all prompting to format.
I'm guessing those are all the directories on the phone which are formatted android fs?
Any ideas what is happening? ioroot12 contains some changes to be compatible with the latest OTA, maybe the stock recovery file structure changed a little after the OTA?

i repeatedly tried over and over after the ota.... it wont work you have to go back to stock reset. root then install twrp or cwm. twrp worked for me and cwm messed up my device causing a complete wipe of everything including logos and everything just a black screen that wouldnt power on. 30 minutes later it booted back up??? be careful.
Thanks

Thanks, probably saved my phone from certain destruction. I followed the steps to go back to stock and successfully rooted and was able to install custom recovery finally.
I seem to recall the OTA taking a long time for being so small, I wonder if they played with partition sizing or something on the "o" firmware.

i only seen that the att apps were updated after the update as well as a security update tightening up their security for their bootloader.as far as partitioning uncertain on that.
glad it worked for you.
I spent a few hrs last night into the am trying to root and flash a working recovery. Just realized my phone auto updated to the OTA and, think I need to go back to the pre-ota. For whatever reason, I can't get twrp to update, no matter how I try to flash it.

I got mine to root using ioroot 12. I got twrp by usint freegee app. The only thing is my recovery is 2.6.3.0. Trying to figure 9ut how to get a newer version of recovery now.

Check with the guys on the webchat If you get stuck. I gotta flash pre-OTA personally. Something that I flashed stuck and won't let twrp update.

If you're on 10o now, try using FreeGee from the Play Store, as mentioned, to get twrp installed.
heres what youre failing to realize..... with 2.6.3.0 I cant flash anything other than, nothing. Everything fails..... I cannot upgrade to the later versions of twrp, any way shape form or fashion. thanks tho

I couldn't get the 10o OTA to install but I used FreeGee to install TWRP and it was incredibly easy/simple. I've seen a few people now that have said they were also able to flash TWRP after upgrading to 10o using FreeGee as well.

If you have TWRP installed already you can just boot into recovery, flash a new TWRP or CWM recovery zip and then go to the "Advanced" menu and select Reboot>Recovery to boot into recovery again and you'll be in the new recovery you just flashed.
I tried that like 30 times over the last 2 days. I finally got flashtool to go back pre ota and now I'm running PA and have 2.6.3.3 for twrp. My reason for things not working is, I think that when I flashed something, it stuck making the code all jacked. Please next time, don't ASSume that because its supposed to work that it always will. There will always be human error.

if I remember correctly that means your recovery did not flash correctly so I recommend using either flashify or freegee from playstore and retrying
It is actually the stock recovery. Try again flashing TWRP or CWM

Thanks a lot! I followed that guide, and afterwards I was no longer even able to get into recovery/download mode....so I though I was even worse trouble....since one the the instructions was to erase the LAF file and flash it again with a downloaded LAF image, I decided to go to the link with all the files you provided and flash each of them....rebooted, and the phone was able to get into recovery mode again...Then I pushed the file for my phone ( http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/VS980/Stock_Firmware) using Uptest (R&D Tool), rebooted and the phone worked.
I cannot figure out for the life of me why I cannot install TWRP on my rooted 4.4.2 ATT D800 LG G2. I'm gonna ask some pretty dumb questions because I feel like I'm missing something here.
I installed TWRP2 custom recovery onto my rooted D800 ATT G2, via the "dd" method using adb on computer. All of the pushing and loki stuff worked, but when I boot into recovery, I get a "Secure boot error" and "Boot certificiation verify" error, then I reboot the phone again and it turns back on like normal. I really want to flash the volume boost onto my device but I cannot without a custom recovery.
I've done hours and hours of research and I cannot figure this out.
Thanks in advance.

Seems like you need to flash the patched kernel for the system to boot.

I have the same problem on my rooted with IoRoot 4.4.2 D802 LG G2 with Stock ROM D80220c-SEA-xx
But I can't install AutoRec: when the install button is pressed, the installer says "app not installed", and the only option is "done".
P.S. I wanted to ask about it in AutoRec thread but I can't post there because I don't have 10 posts yet.
P.P.S I just downloaded it using another computer and it installed fine!
I have same problem with lg g2 sprint ls980 plz help me ??
Hi, I have a rooted Sprint LG G2 and have been trying to get a custom recovery working. I downloaded TWRP 2.7 and flashed the zip with Flashify but it doesnt seem to be working even though I get a message saying it was flashed. If I reboot into recovery it just reboots the phone and if I manually try to boot into recovery it goes to stock recovery. Anyone know how I might fix this and get it to work?
Are you on kitkat or jellybean also flashify is for flashing images and if you aren't careful you can just brick

I'm on Kitkat. Flashify has an option for zips so I thought it would work.

Well you should be glad it didn't work otherwise you would end up with a broken recovery or a soft brick, anyways you should use AutoRec to install custom recovery on kitkat

I couldnt sideload apps from my SD card so I had to factory reset. Maybe because I tried flashing a zip? Well I used AutoRec now and have a custom recovery. Than you!
I am on VS98012b. i am trying to go to aokp kikkat. every guide i have followed to flash custom recovery has failed. ending in endless loops.
Every phone has different method of recoveries and roms. Be carefull what method you try!

You should just go to twrp and get recovery images for your carrier and make then use the flashify app to flash the images.....BTW you should have root before hand
it is rooted via IOroot. ill give it a shot.
i fixed it in an odd way.
1 I had twrp installed but i never could boot strait into it i had to use adb or flashify.
2 Then i used flashify to install a zip of twrp updated with loki.
3. It booted into twrp installed it then poof i can no manually enter recovery!
Thank you guys for pointing me in the right direction!
