I was running the CM 10.2 Stable on my LG G2. I downloaded the CM 11 snapshot and 4.4 gapps in my phone.
Then went to TWRP recovery and wiped the dalvic, cache, data and system. Then went forward to install and selected the CM11 rom and gapps zip files. The flashing starts but it fails after about 10 seconds.
Here is the log:

TWRP 2.6.3.2 can't flash 4.4 ROMS. You need to update to 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 for that. You should be able to search to find a link, because I don't think there's a dedicated topic to anything above 2.6.3.2.

The thing is i am stuck at TWRP as I wiped the davic, cache, system and data. Can i install the Latest version from the TRWP recovery itself?
If YES then how can i copy the latest version files into my phone?
If NO then what should i do? I am stuck in the TWRP after all.
Do you have a backup? I would think the easiest way would be to restore and then download and flash.
Or just flash an old ROM if you have one on the phone.
I'm not too experienced otherwise, but i think download mode would work? I haven't actually used that before though.

I think you have two choices.
1. flash back the CM10.2 and start from there
2. flash new recovery image via adb then flash new firmware

Unfortunately i dont have anything other than the CM11 file in my phone's memory.
Any idea how i can copy files from my PC to phone while stuck in recovery mode?
Do you have any experience with ADB? As Votinh brought up, you can push the new recovery image over through the shell on the computer. There's tutorials for pushing a recovery through ADB on here somewhere also.

I used the adb when I first installed the custom recovery. I followed forum instructions/you tube video to do that. They require the phone to be in a working state. But as my phone now can only go to the currently installed recovery (TWRP). I am not sure how to do anything that needs to be done.
Please help me
How do I copy files to my internal storage when my phone is stuck in recovery mode? When i connect my phone to PC the PC does not recognize it.
So how can i copy any files either a new custom recovery or an older rom?

Thank you
You don't have to flash a new recovery with adb. Just find the image file for your phone then download an app called flashify. It takes less than a sec to flash then your done.

So now I am little bit confused.
Downloaded the OTA update from the Google server copied it to my N7, applied the update from within TWRP 2.6.3.1.
In fact, it was running through until almost the end (I thought, wow, finally an update which works).
But then Error message:
"Error executing updater binary in zip 'sdcard/goomanager/13088e35942c77e4752aa1fdf51d54472509b941.signed-nakasi-KRT16O-from-JWR66Y.13088e35'

Reboot System brings me back to Recovery TWRP.
Somehow I have no clue what to do next.
Can give someone a hint?

TWRP is fine. Myself and others have installed the OTA via TWRP without issue. Did you download the OTA with Goomanager? I can't think of another reason the OTA zip would be in there, but let me know otherwise.
If that is the case, download the ota http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_nakasi/13088e35942c77e4752aa1fdf51d54472509b941.signed-nakasi-KRT16O-from-JWR66Y.13088e35.zip from Google's servers, push it to /sdcard/Download/ via adb and try again.

Yup that is what I had to do. I flashed the factory image with WugFresh's NRT. I accidentally deleted the OS as well from my tab. Thankfully I had saved a copy of TB on my PC. TB saves the day yet again. However, I was still not able to sideload the OTA for KitKat. I keep getting Error: Device not found error message on command prompt? I guess I'll wait for the factory image to be uploaded by Google and then flash the files.

Try flashing with the app provided below, will do either a zip or a img file. Just make sure your new Recovery file has been Loki'd.

Make sure the recovery you flashed with flashify was a zip or img, make sure it was for your phones model, make sure its loki'd, or download Quickboot from the play store and tap recovery.

everything went fine until i typed adb reboot recovery
followed the guides on here to flash TWRP, finally got everything flashed through adb and when i went to the final step to reboot in to recovery it said "error : device not found" .... Is this normal? should i just unplug/replug and try the reboot bootloader command again? It said the image was loki verified and flashed succesfully, but when i typed in reboot recovery it said "error: device not found" any advice/help is much appreciated
Hello I was going to flash a rom from stock firmware with TWRP recovery installed when I accidentally wiped the system partition as well so there is now no rom on the internal storage and i cannot boot back into the normal firmware cause it just hangs at the LG logo on startup. I tried a USB OTG device in TWRP but it is not being detected and I don't know how to use the phone in mass storage mode inside TWRP. :crying:
Help would be much appreciated!

Have you tried adb sideload? I did the same, wiped everything, system and internal , bacups and all. I managed to sideload a flashable rom, flashed it and managed to boot up. So: ADB Sideload through twrp is your answer.

I can get into download mode and TWRP .While in TWRP, adb recognizes my device and shows recovery next to it. When I go to adb sideload and type adb devices again it will show that I'm in sideload mode but no files will transfer. It just returns error cannot read filename.extension.

I actually tried both utilities but both resulted in error. I ended up getting it with "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" . It took a really long time, I ended up just trying one last time and left it alone for about 10 mins. When I came back to it, it showed the size of file and time it took to push. I figured I'd post all of this on the off chance it may help someone who has a Custom recovery but no backup or Rom zips to flash on the device.

Man you are a life saver. Thanks for coming back and posting your solution for this problem. I had the exact same issue and after hours of trying to install different "rom.zip" files with the same "cannot read rom.zip" error, this finally worked.

Greetings,
First I'm sorry if this isn't the right thread for this, I'll gladly delete and change threads if need be.
Second, I just got an LG G2 (Verizon) today. It's great but I want more so I rooted it, confirmed that it's rooted. But that's all I can do. I can't install a recovery app on here to save my life. I tried downloading the VZW recovery img and pushing that with the loki_flash but I got two errors mainly.
Input file is not a valid loki image and Loki aboot does not match device. I'm trying to run either TWRP or CWM, anything really so I can flash a custom ROM on this bad boy.
If the image is not a valid loki image I'm assuming I don't have the right pair of files? (loki/recovery) and if the aboot image doesn't match the device I'm assuming that I don't have the right loki? Are these correct assumptions or am I making an ass out of just me???
My phone is rooted, ROM Manager says I have both TWRP AND CWM on my phone but if I try to boot into recovery via ROM Manager or adb I get a black screen and nothing more.
Does anyone have ANY insight at all into how I can go about the next step?

TWRP
Follow the install instructions for TWRP 2.6.3.2. Then after you've confirmed you can boot the OS from the recovery, place the 2.6.3.3 on the root of your SD. Reboot into recovery and flash 2.6.3.3. Reboot into recovery again and you'll be good to go.
Version 2.6.3.2 won't flash 4.4 ROMs but 2.6.3.3 will flash 4.2 (I'm assuming), 4.3, and 4.4.
Download FreeGee app from the play store and install TWRP recovery from it. It was the only way I could install it on my LG G2.
So many

I used RussGJohnson solution and it worked in a matter of seconds. Now I'm stuck though. I wiped everything and can boot into TWRP but I have no ability to sideload anything. I have all the latest LG drivers, even the lastest android sdk drivers, nothing is working. If I boot up normally the LG logo comes up and just sits there.
I can boot into recovery using the whole volume down + power button combo but then when I go to sideload my computer isn't seeing the device. I'm on a Win 8 machine using the stock cable. I've tried both USB 2 and 3 ports
It's done
Using RussGJohnson's suggestion worked great.
The issue I had with being unable to sideload a ROM wasn't resolved but I just used my Mac to do it instead. That worked just fine. Win8 couldn't recognize the device while in recovery. Go figure.
free gee very fast
Use Flashify u n00b.
Hello, I have been messing around with clockwork mod recently but I'm having some troubles I'll list them below. if anyone could help me that would be great!
Question 1. Not sure what file to use. I am using a galaxy s4 GGt-i9505 and when I try to install CWM from the app it says jfte and if i click phone not listed it says gt19505 not supported. I'm not sure if this is the correct file to use because I looked on the clockwork mod website and seen the manual install files and found the gt-i9505 files on there. So basically my question is for the galaxy s4 do I flash the jfte CWM file or the gt-i9505 file? If I Google search jfte it says it just another name for the galaxy s4 so I'm not sure.
Question 2.I have had an issue with system ui crashing when trying to install the jfte file through the app rather than through Odin and once it says installed and reboot phone i still don't have Clockwork recovery it still is the original recovery that came with the phone. How do I fix this?
Question 3. Every time I do a backup to my external SD card it puts the date of the backup as somewhere in the 1970s and puts the time to 11pm and then when I try to restore to the backup it says MD5 mismatch and tells me the location where it sent the recovery.log and I can't get any of my backups to restore without MD5 miss match Every time. Does anyone know a solution.
I Am rooted and I am running the latest version of lolipop. Is lolipop compatible with CWM?
Thanks for the help! Shaun.*:good:
Solution: install TWRP instead of CWM. CWM is no longer updated, and certain ROMs won't flash with it. The version you want is jfltexx.
How do I get twrp? Could you link me please? And can it be flashed with Odin?
If you are facing MD5 mismatches it means your backups are probably destroyed.It could be happened because of a bad sd card or (probably) because of a bad , older or corrupted recovery.
Just try to download a recovery from here.
I would suggest you to download a .tar (touch) version (flashable with odin)
If for some reason you cannot flash recovery with odin but (as you said) you have a rooted rom ,you could flash it by terminal or by using adb.In this case just extract recovery.img from the .tar file to your adb tools folder and flash it by using the commands:
Code:
adb push recovery.img /tmp
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
dd if=/tmp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
After that you should have flash the recovery to your recovery partition.

If you want a twrp recovery instead of a cwm you can download it from here.
You should also take a look here for the lattest version of twrp recovery.
You can find the official release of TWRP for GT-I9505 here.
Thanks for the help what would you recommend? CWM OR TWRP?
And is it true that clockwork no longer updates

Maybe someone make an unofficial build for this device in the future but I think the official support has been stopped.
I would recomend you TWRP as it has adb mode if your rom and download mode goes down.
