Need help fota to kitkat and get stuck in cwm recovery? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,

[Q] not able to root the 4.4

can any one help me with that please?
I flashed the kitkat to my nexus 4,,, installed the last version of twrp recovery
moved the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.69.zip to sd and flashed it using the recovery
the phone reboot but there is no root access :crying:
any help?
have you opened the supersu app? did it ask you to update your binaries?

Unrooted, can't reroot, corrupted recovery on 4.4.2

Hi all,
I have put myself/phone in an interesting situation, which I am hoping the community can help me with.
I recently bought an LG G2, dold with stock 4.4.2. I proceeded to root it, and tried installing custom recovery.
I first installed ROM manager, which didnt work.
I then tried flashing twrp through adb using loki, which gave me a 'this is not a loki file' error.
I eventually realized that they had closed the Loki loophole in stock 4.4.2.
At this point, trying to enter recovery wouls give me a 'secure booting failed' error, making me have to reboot the phone again.
I then unrooted my phone, and factory reset it. I realized Clockworkmod recovery (which ROM manager installed) persisted despite the data wipe, so I unchecked that option in ROM manager and wiped it again.
My thinking was that I vould now downgrade to 4.2.2, install custom recovery there, then flash 4.4.2 whitout losing root or recovery.
Problem: I can't do any of this, because I can't reroot my phone with ioroot25. It fails as when it reboots inti recovery it gives me the 'secure booting failed' error.
Thanks for any help. I simply want to root my phone and if possible, have a functional recovery in order for me to flash some mods. At least being able to have it rooted again would be sweet.
Hehh...
Last thing you can do is try to flash with LG Flash Tools Method or LG Support Tool
Flash stock recovery either via fastboot / or dd(on linux). Then you can proceed further.
Or ^ kdz via download mode.
I have a similar problem. I restored the stock recovery via adb using a dd command. Then I unrooted in order to accept the latest OTA. The OTA fails with a "suspected root" error. Download mode still has "ROOTED" in red letters. At this point I gave up on the OTA and wanted to get back to where I was.
IOROOT25 doesn't work because when the phone reboots to recovery mode, I get the broken android with the red triangle but nothing else on the screen at all. There are no options, nothing. Eventually it reboots. I've done a factory reset to no avail. Recovery seems corrupted.
I need instructions for flashing the stock recovery with no root.
I managed to get my recovery rewritten using the LG Mobile Support Tool on a different computer. Then I was able to root again using ioroot25. I'm not sure why I couldn't run on my own laptop, but it's fixed now.

yes you will get ota updates but android 5 has done some changes to root so after updating there may be some problems
Some seniors say that i cant get OTA updates with custom recovery installed??
no if u install a custom recovery u will not get ota updates as ota update requires a stock recovery to install itself
So can i try custom recovery temporery and then when i'll found update arrived on other unrooted devices i'll restore to stock recovery? will it help?
And if i backup my stock ROM and install custom ROM on my device and then for OTA can i just restore stock and get the update?
yes u can temp try custom recovery and then restore to stock

[Q] Unable to install TWRP Recovery after CM12 YNG1TAS1K0 update

Hello Folks!!!
I was on a Rooted Stock 5.0.2 CM12 ROM with TWRP recovery, when I got the notification for an OTA update (YNG1TAS1K0). I found out that we had to flash stock recovery to install the update, so I did that, but the OTA update wouldn't install and kept throwing error saying something like "unable to update /sideload/". After multiple attempts, I finally flashed the whole ROM (cm-12.0-YNG1TAS1K0-tomato-signed.zip) via the stock recovery, and now I am on the latest stock build (YNG1TAS1K0). Unfortunately, I am stuck on the stock recovery now. Whenever I try to flash the TWRP recovery (TWRP 2.8.6.0 for Lollipop), it goes into bootloop. I have temporarily flashed stock recovery again to make my phone usable again, but I would really like to flash TWRP again and root it. Any advice/suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks. :highfive:

LG G2 unroot for OTA?

Hey guys,
I am sorry for creating the thread if it is already answered somewhere but i didn't manage to find it.
I have a stock LP ROM and I've rooted it and installed custom recovery, and now OTA won't install v30d since device is suspected of rooting. I've already tried unrooting the device through superSU but it wasn't helpful. Do I need to restore a stock recovery too or what's the catch? By the way I don't want to reinstall stock ROM because I am already using it and it works pretty fine but it is bugging me that the phone keeps informing me about new ROM and I can't install it.
Please help or at least point me to the right place and again I don't want to reinstall stock ROM
Install recovery buckup data then flash stok rom then update and last install recovery again and restore data
