OK so this is whats going on
I have tried several way to push or downlode recovery twrp and cwm on my lg g2 it is fully rooted i check it through the app it says it has full root priviliges.
Everytime i run the recovery it take me to a black screen with a green android lying with its belly open.
I have tired installing recovery through adb but i either end up getting a loki file wont go through or it wont load or the it says it cant open the twrp image. I have followed step by step instruction through youtube. I dont know whats going on.
Please help ...and let me know if you need any further details.

Then your best bet is to jump down to 10d

You could always use flashify. Use it to download the TWRP .zip. Extract the .img file into the phone, then use flashify to flash that .img file you extracted. Reboot into recovery to see if it stuck.

Ok every guide I looked at said you can easily flash something to gain root again well in order to flash anything you have to have root so it doesn't make any sense and I didn't see any guides on this or related posts and I'm running 4.2.2

fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
boot into recovery
flash the supersu.zip root package.
What is so complicated about that?
you dont need root to flash something, you need an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery.....
i swear the word root has lost all meaning these days. everyone wants it, but it seems so very few actually understand what it is.
Pretty sure you just need to fastboot flash a custom recovery, then you can flash the superuser binaries by chainsdd (Google the package), then install superuser or superSU from the market.
Not familiar with nexus 7, but this is how I rooted a galaxy nexus. There should be a sticky in your device specific forum with links to the process and files.
From my Evo LTE, yup.
I went to fastboot but when I go into recovery I get an error

I tried downloading clockworkmod recovery from ROM manager but the download failed so I downloaded recovery manager from the play store and downloaded a recovery using the app it said the recovery installed

Dude,
As the guides tell you, and I lined out above, you need to FASTBOOT FLASH RECOVERY
unless you are already rooted, then downloading ROM Manager or 'recovery manager' from the app store doesnt do any good....
you need a computer to do this in fastboot mode.
Damn I was hoping I could avoid using my friends very slow comp lol

I'm in the similar situation - I upgraded rooted 4.2.1 via modified OTA (original OTA was failing because of one apk) and now I have 4.2.2, but even though I had SuperSU which was ticked to "survival mode" (should keep the root), it apparently didn't. I don't have TWRP anymore, when I press power+vol dn I get the standard "start" screen (original recovery). Also, when I turn N7 on, it is displaying keychain that is OPEN, that means my bootloader is unlocked?
So my question(s)... my bootloader is probably unlocked? If I do the steps:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
boot into recovery
flash the supersu.zip root package
will I loose all data/apps? I ask because when I first rooted with toolkit, I lost all apps/data.
Also, where to find supersu.zip ? That is different to the installed SuperSU.apk, right?
Damn I can't make ADB work... I tried 2 computers.... Damn google for making this so [email protected]#[email protected]$ .... Constant problems, nothing else. Any clues? I ofcourse, tried kill-server and start-server, no matter what my device is showing offline....
Just checked with my phone (SGNII) and it is working just fine... no clue why Nexus is showing as offline..
So, I have been attempting to flash TWRP recovery using flashify. I have the ATT G2, and I am rooted of course. People have said they had success but I can't seem to get it to work for me. I downloaded the TWRP .img from herehttp://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/g2att and attempted to flash via flashify. It takes about 2 seconds then says "flash successful reboot now or flash more" but when I attempt to get into recovery(power button volume down until LG logo then let go and repress) and it shows up "factory reset device. Press power button if yes, press any other button to cancel". What am I doing wrong?

Bumping due to a similar question. I downloaded the updated TWRP and flashed the "recovery.img" file in flashify. It said it was successful then I booted into recovery and the screen is black with the backlight on. I have to hold power for about 10 seconds and it reboots into my current ROM with no issues. Any thoughts on why TWRP isn't there anymore? It was for a while while I flashed CM 10.2. Just tried to update TWRP since I want to try some CM11 roms. Thanks in advance!
If you also have the AT&T version, then this is the file you should be flashing using Flashify... openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2att.img
... then in order to update to 2.6.3.3, flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-g2att.zip from recovery.

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.

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.

Which version of twrp are you using? Is it saying flash unsuccessful? The guy above me is right you need to go back to stock using download mode
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633150make sure you've got the latest twrp before flashing again. Let me know how you go
