This will work on the Verizon G2
So I followed this method and my phone rebooted but nothing happened. I had to power it on my self and it booted to android.
After you've downloaded the recovery IMG file, I assume you grabbed the correct one for your model, open Flashify app, select recovery image on the flash tab, browse to where you saved it and confirm. Job done.
The app should then ask you to reboot and it will boot into twrp.

I did grab the right one but it didnt boot into twrp. It shut off after showing the LG logo for a brief second.
Hmmm not sure to be honest.
It worked perfect for me.
Maybe try deleting the downloaded IMG file and flashify app and reinstalling and try again.

You can't unlock the bootloader. That's the whole reason why we use Loki. Do you have your phone rooted?

Which TWRP are you trying to flash? There's one specific for 12B because the Loki patch had to be updated.

No I don't have a guide. I'll just give you the files you need because I don't feel like typing much. Lol. Flash this with Flashify. Its 2.6.3.3 specifically patched for 12B https://www.dropbox.com/s/meddqewk6muv8p5/twrp.img Then reboot to recovery and flash this https://www.dropbox.com/s/rnj9i1lsg8oc1js/Stock-TWRP2.7-VS980.zip I made that one patched for all firmwares since the newest one won't flash on 12B it seems. This should work.

I just helped someone having a similar problem a little bit ago get to 2.7 in the main TWRP thread. If you want you can go read through those posts to see exactly what needed to be done. I just gave you the easy route

Worked like a charm. thank you so much. Now I just need to find a rom to flash. Does CM11 knock to unlock and lock work? Or does that feature even work with AOSP Roms? Also I see G Flex roms. Do those work with knock on and off?

I recommend Mahdi. It has everything. And is way more stable than CM11. Knock on and off on the lockscreen, and every option you can think of.

Other said that if you root your G2 and used the original stock rom and recovery, you can have an OTA with no Problem, is that TRUE?
how about you ROOT your G2, and you used stock rom and recovery but you installed Xposed to change your notification bar, can you still receive OTA update without a problem?

Not totally true. U need stock ROM with no uninstalled bloat and stock recovery. I'm not sure with exposed but I would suggest uninstalling exposed framework just to be safe.

I was running a stock rom and I went to install the OTA now I can't do anything. I have tried factory reset. I have tried restoring all the backups I have on have on TWRP and it says that the restore is successful but when I reboot it goes right back to the recovery mode. I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions please?????
search, thats what you can do.
when root only, no problem if you temporarily via superuser settings disable root. Ota update and reroot. I think.
Now I have a question for you, do you know a good joke?
tip: when doing anything custom, use the search to determine if it can do harm, or inhibits updating. Then you will always be safe.

Yes totally true.. As long as you have stock recovery and ROM you are and always will be good... The only way I can imagine a "debloaded" system wouldn't take it is if you "deblote" the stock recovery in any way lol
well..thanks guys.. just to be safe, i'll wait for the OTA Update before rooting..

My GS4 i337 keeps rebooting. I flashed Wicked v10 and everything went well except I had no wifi or data. I also noticed that the model number changed. I then proceeded to flash Wicked v10 and it said it was succesful, but when I started it up it would say safestrap enabled and then when it actually tried to boot up the screen went black and after a while it would vibrate twice and try to boot up. I have the AT&T GS4 (i337). What do I do?
Do a data wipe. Sounds like old user data is interfering with boot. Factory reset/data wipe should fix you up. If not, reflash with a dif cable. No data bc most roms require you to manually enter the apn after flashing. I woumd follow a guide while flashing if you're new at this. Dont mean to imply you are. I always wipe after every new rom flash, can fix a lot of "bugs".

I tried to do a data wipe but it says

Also I didn't use a data cable I just flashed it from safestrap recovery. Also I have done multiple factory resets, just doesn't boot. I'm gonna see if I have to do a different rom slot.

Not sure of the implications of this, bc again, i dont use safestrap. Can you use odin yo flash your device back to official stock, and stock recovery. Reroot, reinstall safestrap etc? Might be your best bet. If possible. I wish I could be of more help, but i really am of no use with safestrap. Dont worry, weve all made mistakes, you arent hard bricked so must be recoverable.

Samsung-updates.com has all the stock firmware for all devices. Make sure you read the safestrap faq to ensure you flash a stock compatible with it. I know 4.3 with safestrap is giving ppl fits, may be best to go 4.2.2. Use the firmware archive for older firmwares. I uploaded 4.2.2 to the android section of the thepiratebay.org or thepiratebay.se a month or so ago, as many had requested it.

I9505 works on i377m, dunno about the i377. Gimme a sec, ill see if i can find your mk2. Big difference that kittle m makes. Your bootloader is locked, hence safestrap, mine isn't (i377m). Not sure if the Canadian wilk run on yours, gimme a few minutes and ill see what i can dig up. If it is compatible, you could just use csc changer to set proper carrier. You will also want to lookup and identify your apn, thats what gives data on roms, without it, no data. Proper region stock has proper apn set auto. Back in a few.

These instructions assume you started with MJ6.
First, make sure you can boot into recovery. If not, download and apply the MJ6 recovery.
recovery-mj6.tar.md5
It should apply without error. If not, report the failure.
Download and extract the following files...
mf3-emergency-part-1.tar.md5.7z .....>>>>>MIRROR<<<<<.....
mf3-emergency-part-2.tar.md5.7z .....>>>>>MIRROR<<<<<.....
If you don't already have it, download the mf3-mj9 update file...
update-mf3-mj9.zip
1.Start Odin, connect your phone and boot into Download mode.
2.Flash mf3-emergency-part-1.tar.md5 which contains modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin and system.img.ext4.
3.The flash of system.img.ext4 WILL FAIL at the end. That's OK.
4.Force Reboot the phone back into Download mode (Voldown+Home+Power) and restart Odin.
5.Flash mf3-emergency-part-2.tar.md5 which contains cache.img.ext4.
6.The flash WILL FAIL at the end. That's OK.
7.Force Reboot the phone back into Download mode (Voldown+Home+Power) and restart Odin.
8.The phone should now reboot to a black screen with the pulsing notification LED.U need to install recovery-mj6.tar.md5 or i337MK2stockRecovery.tar.md5 (also confirmed work with some users) via ODIN first if u stuck between step 6 and 7 since u are on DOWNLOADING MODE....and then force reboot to get u back to recovery if u coming from MK2 by using combo button (VolUp+Home+Power) or use this Odin Force Reboot .tar File to reboot
9.Reboot into recovery mode and choose apply update via adb and open your adb command from computer and use MF3>MK2 update zip files from OP .....HOPE THIS HELP......
Code:
adb sideload update.zip
I recommend sideloading instead of flashing from sdcard because the sdcard method reboots the phone whether the update was successful or not and you lose the error messages.
10.Reboot the phone and let it initialize.
11.You should now have MK2. and last step is to Hit THANK button......

Do you guys honestly think your posts have enough information to be able to help? We need more information, For example what guide was you following as there are multiple. What recoveries have you tried were they thought the right variant? etc. etc. etc.

I realize this now after i made my second post of bricking my phone,
I did get recovery to work. The 2.6.3.5 i was using isn't loki'd so i went to down to the 2.6.3.2

Make sure you grab the right twrp file for your device. make sure you have your loki file in the ADB tools folder.
Use this Guide and it should work like a charm
i recommend changing the name of your TWRP '.img' to 'recovery.img' so its easy to type in the command window

Great, I'm not sure sorry. I haven't looked in to LG G2 development that much since i got this phone a few months ago, i just flashed a 4.4 AOSP ROM and that is about it, Glad you got it working and sorry i couldn't help.
Hi
so I flashed my grouper with a 5.0 rom and everything works smoothly BUT music playback. Apparently it's an issue that plagues all 5.0 rom. Naturally I tried downloaded a 4.4 rom and flash it but doens't work. Is there anyway to downgrade?
Thanks
The easiest way to go back is to flash a factory image. Although this will wipe the internal memory.
Here is the link to the Nexus factory image site: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
BEWARE: Flashing a wrong factory image (ex: a 2013 image on a 2012 device or vica versa) would certainly brick it.
Do I flash it thru recovery or fastboot?

You cant use nandroid backup as I am assuming you haven't unlocked your bootloader

Yes I am, I was also rooted. But this nandroid back up you speak of is useless now.
Have you not tried the Nexus Root Toolkit from Wugfresh? There is no need to download any ROM images as it does it all for you its very easy to use just plug in and go.

I think you have to flash stock recovery, boot into it then clear cache and do a factory reset.
Guys make your own thread for help, stop hijacking mine. I am still looking for an answer.

Rgrds,
Ged.
Today I will try this and will let you know. Thank you so much Bro for your help.
I had a custom rom trupure installed after rooting my phone unlocking boit loder and putting twpr,I wiped the rom and put back stock marshmallow. But left the phone with twrp and bootloader unlocked. Will I be able to receive OTA update w
With bootloader unlocked and twrp still installed? I heard there was 6.0.1 coming up already. Since I reinstalled the marshmallow stock back does it come with band 12 update already??
No with TWRP, you need to get stock recovery or just wait to somebody release the 6.0.1 rooted already.

OK how do I go back to stock recovery so I can receive the update? And what about the bootloader?
You can downgrade to LP using the tool that is on Devs section, then take to MM OTA again.

That's the one to use. It will replace TWRP with stock recovery and stock LP.

One of the threads mentioned flashing the NON-hlos.bin file afterwards. Did you try that? And I'll see if I can find the thread...

Also, MM is now available as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/pure-firmware-tuff-wip-t3224833

Here's the command in adb if you're in the bootloader screen: fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
Try and flash that again.

I also, humbly and respectfully, request that you do not blame the phone for your flashing problems. And I most humbly ask that you try to do additional reading and searching before you do anything else to your device. Almost all of your issues have been previously addressed in older posts and searching and reading are expectations for members. Hope the above link gets you there... :highfive:
