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 the LG G2 from verizon. Would I be able to use it?
I have a Vzw G2 and used freegee from the play store. Installed twrp in about 10 seconds last night.?
I have vs980 as well and flashify worked wonderfully for me. Very easy.

The freegee app is nice too! You can install cwm or twrp recovery using that too..

I rooter my G4 for the first time, I think all went well but I have a question. I tried to install the free version of TBU but I got a "root failed" message but other root apps work such as root explorer and setcpu. If I click on SU in my app drawer I get a message "super user must be updated" or something to that effect. I think this happened to me once before but its been so long. Not sure if I click the update option within SU or if I download the SU fixer in the play store.

Just let SU update uninstall tibu, then reinstall and see if that works. In order for tibu to work SU has to grant it permission.
So you sugest I uninstall TBU and reinstall it? I'll try that but what about the update message I get when I click on SU?

Update it then reinstall tibu
How do I update SU? This is what I'm shown when I open super user. Do I click the update button? I just do a Google search and I read that someone bricked from clicking update.

What recery do you have
How do I check? I grabbed my stock G4 and used the motochopper root method. I've read a lot of other random links were people had the same issue. I double checked other root apps I have and they don't work. I'm able to enter app but it's "read only" mode.

try this go setting>more scroll down to about phone then scroll down to build number then keep tapping it till it counts down 3-2-1 development open then hit the back button click development option thev check the usb debugging box.
---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------
I dont use motochopper I use root and recovery from casual where it roots and installs twrp 2501. Its my favorite because I can root and unroot as often as I like with it and Odin whenever I run into issues because I like experimenting on my phone.
Well, I already had USB debugging checked when I rooted. I unchecked it and tried updating and root apps...same result.

ok let me first
1. what firmware are you
2. what recovery are you using
try one more thing go into recovery>advance>fix permissions and see if that allows you to update su again.
I havent installed a custom recovery. I literally rooted my phone 30 minutes ago and tried a few root apps to see if the root worked or not. Im yet to install a custom ROM or recovery.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
go to the play store and download an app called root checker run it to see if the root actually took or not
It says "device does not appear to have root access"

you may not have root. moto may not have done it. What firmware is the phone is it MDL or MF3
go to settings>more>about phone> then scroll down to baseband tell me what it says.
Here it is
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Your on MF3 as far as I been reading you can not root with motochopper. There is a way to root but also on MF3 you can not install a custom rom as well they are still working on it.
Go to the development section and do a little more reading or you can brick the phone rendering it useless Sorry for the bad news.

Nice man good to hear, once your setup boot back into recovery and make a backup then reboot to rom...and your good to go....also if you want to have a stock ROM on hand best thing would be probably download a stock ROM and just hold on to it...thanks man.....and the twrp backup won't work so just make a new one

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

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 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.
Im having a huge issue getting TWRP 2.7.0.1 or any version of TWRP to install. I am used to flashing HTC style and now im just confused and getting frustrated- i used flashify and downloaded the zip and extracted the img, flashed and rebooted- when the phone reboots i get an error message that is like 3 lines long in either red or white text. Any help would be amazing, thanks

if you are on kitkat you cannot use flashify to install recovery, you need to use AutoRec

actually we used to be able to use flashify with most of the 4.2 firmwares of g2, the kitkat update overcomplicated a lot of things for us here but we are still going strong
Yeah ive been doing a lot of research and I'm amazed at how many obstacles y'all have overcame- so glad that I'm apart of the community now! One more question that I havent quite found a definite answer for- now that im rooted, have TWRP 2.7.0.1 and have downloaded a rom/gapps on phone... Do I just reboot to recovery, backup/wipe, install rom and then gapps and reboot system and thats it? Or will I be soft bricked... Thanks in advance for any info

Which rom to be more specific ?
Always try reading the 1st page of every thread, then look back for at least 4-5 last pages to see if there were any issues.
For non stock roms you would require to flash "aosp kk baseband" by dr87
Also watch the thread if your variant is actually supported.
New, updated roms(non stock) are also maybe updated to 4.4.2 sources and don't require the upper "aosp kk baseband" but you will learn how and why in no matter of time, cheers
I troll the OP/threads and Google for hours and hours before finally posting a question. Going from the Rezound to the G2 is a massive difference in procedures lol added a pic of the zip i was thinking about flashing. Thanks
