Hi folks, I seek the advice of any one who could help me with issue. To give you a bit of background information, I have a D802 version which is rooted with CloudyStock 1.1, android 4.4.2 KK.
Yesterday I tried to update the version of Philz recovery that I had which has never been a problem before. I downloaded the latest version from the dedicated page here and went into the recovery to install the zip.
Whilst the zip was extracted without issue there was an error regarding "lokifying" the boot loader. I turned the phone off and tried to get in the recovery again but this time I had the error "secure booting: boot certification verify".
I never had any problem before, I don't know why the latest version of the recovery would create more problem that the old one.
The thing is that the phone works fine, it boots and runs without issue, I just can't get into recovery mode. Also the download mode works.
I'm sure they must be a way to get the recovery back. I tried to flash CMW with Rom Manager without success.
If anyone knows, I would appreciate the help greatly.
Cheers
considering kitkat has no root yet, getting a recovery on it is going to be difficult.
you will need a via zip flashable distro of kitkat. Which if you search you can make yourself. It was on xda portal some time ago.
That way I think root\recovery is maintained.

Thank you for your answer Bachera. I am not sure I understand what you mean by "via zip flashable distro of kitkat."
Plus my kitkat version of android is rooted, why would you think kitkat has no root yet?

I encountered something similar on my phone. However, i was on 4.2.2 but this worked for me. Give it a shot, it might work for you too

Good luck
Try Flashify from the Play store to flash a working recovery for your phone. I had the same issue with philz latest version. I had to use an older version of philz to get it to work on my phone.

Yeah I misread, I thought you went to a official kitkat. Only way to get root on kitkat is if lucky its maintained with a ota update. or a special made kitkat, thats what I mean with special distribution (distro) one via recovery flashable.
kitkat rooting directly at the moment of writing is not possible due to lg bootloader.

Thank you all for the help and suggestions. I tried flashify and I did not work.
However freegee worked very well and managed to go back to CMW.
All functional now!
Thanks

Yes use the new IOROOT15 to root the device. But I have been unsuccessful in flashing any roms, however I did get twrp to work with FreeGee app in the android market.

I've been unsuccessful in getting any roms to work. I tried 4.2.2 rom and got lg screen then black, had to restore nand backup from twrp recovery but it was hellish to get into, had to do the hold vol+pwr precisely, almost gave up. So, reverted to a backup just fine.
Next tried to loki_flash recovery 2.6.3.1 (then was going to do them in order-2.6.3.2>2.6.3.3 [have not tried going directly to 2.6.3.3) and was hit with an unsupported aboot error (device mismatch).
So now i'm going to try and use flash tool to revert back to 11A, root, install twrp (I hope this is possible and I don't brick my phone [i'm new to all of this])
Anyone tell me if this is an acceptable option to proceed? Thank's in advance.
Acceptable. KDZ to 11A.
Just wanted to post I was successful using lg flash tool to revert to 11A, rooted, freegee twrp, flashed 2.6.3.3, flashed OSE ROM. Everything is well ATM!

Seems you haven't installed a custom recovery yet buddy, if you tried, you've failed.
First root your phone, then install a custom recovery, then try again booting into your recovery.
If your already on stock kk, I don't believe you can install a custom recovery yet, only root it. So you would first have to downgrade back to JB.

Well there only 2 options really, I'd say TWRP is more user friendly, so i would recommend that to you, before installing a rom first read the instructions and make sure they haven't first recommend a recovery for that specific rom installation.
Once you have a custom recovery its very simple to switch between them.
Follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469995
It's an old method but is very easy. This will install twrp but an old version.
So before using the method above first download the latest twrp onto your phone, i don't know what version of the g2 you have so if you reply i can try point you to the latest, but if you search for twrp 2.7 for your phone you should find it. You want it in .zip format.
So after saving the file to your phone, go ahead and follow the instructions above, if it says it successful, try booting into recovery again, the same way you managed to format your phone but this time it should boot your recovery, then press install .zip and flash the latest twrp.
Then your ready to go! just follow the instructions for the roms you'd like and flash them.
Best of Luck!

Hi
I am hoping someone can help me please?
My phone was already rooted and not really had any issue up until yesterday.
I have been trying to get a lollipop ROM onto my phone. In the process i decided that it would be wise to update my TWRP recovery to the latest using the play store TWRP app. Having done that, when i now try to get to recovery, the phone hangs on the 'Reovery Booting...' message.
How can I move forward from here? Am i able to flash the original version of the TWRP using odin again?
Thanks in advance

Yes, maybe the TWRP Manager detected one update (TWRP 2.8.5.0) and installed it but this version have bugs. It was deleted of the official page of TWRP too. Flash via ODIN the older version (TWRP 2.8.4.0) and all will be solved. Good luck :highfive:.
I used Nandroid manager to flash the img of twrp when I rooted my phone. Because Odin failed to flash it.
Hey XDA!
I updated my LG G Pad 8.3 to the korean stock 5.0.2 a while back, and now I wanted the AOSP Marshmallow rom on it - but I had no root or recovery!
Turn out (after three hours of infinite searches and no progress) that the solution is really easy - and can be done on the tablet with no PC!
Just enable USB debugging, download the KingRoot app (http://www.kingroot.net/) and let it root the device for you - it loads pretty slow but works great.
Then follow this link to install TWRP (https://twrp.me/devices/lggpad83.html) by following their link to the Play Store. Install the TWRP app, select your device (v500) and the latest recovery image, then confirm the recovery location and let it install the recovery image for you. Mine gave an error but booted right into TWRP afterwards despite saying failed.
And that is it!
Hey dude, after almost a year, someone finnally discovered how to do it! .But I have one problem, I can install the 2.8.7.0 twrp version, but I can't boot into recovery. It just stays in the LG logo, with the (normal) error text on the top left. How did you make it?

Have you tryied installing something like quickboot?
I'm really interested in root not to change ROM but to remove bloatware, install a serious ad blocker and perform nandroid backups.

I have the same issue.
root ok
twrp 2.8.7 ok
reboot to recovery stay on the boot logo with "boot certification verify problem" error.
Tried quick boot same issue ...
I tried KingRoot a few months ago and had similar problems. It was kind of like a partial root that worked of a fashion but not completely.
The only way I know of to go from Lollipop to a custom ROM is to download a KitKat kdz and flash it through the Mobile Tool and then root that. Quite a hassle - and one I'm just about to start now.
I've been off the V500 forum for a little while, so maybe there is a better solution out there.
I only rooted because I'm scared of bootloop since in this thread still no answer on how to boot to recovery.
Actually I installed and used successfully an ad blocker and titanium but SuperSU can't be installed because of the missing twrp.
I hope that the thread creator will answer on how to go to recovery.

Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had to install - uninstall KingRoot 2-3 times before SuperSU would work. Lost root access the two first times I replaced KingRoot with SuperSU, but suddenly it worked
When installing recovery image with twrp I get a message that installation failed, but anyway twrp reports that recovery image is installed. (Same thing happened with KingRoot, but then recovery image was not installed)
When I try to boot in to recovery I get the annoying boot error message
Just flashed my G pad V500 20f with Hongkong v50030b. Applied root using this tutorial here. It works. Thank you.
Then, replaced Kinguser with Supersu from the link provided by @FandangoL. Success. Thank you. Pad works great now. As happy as a clam...

Read in Google+ Lg G Pad 8.3 forum :
Hi guys, I need your help. I just flashed the Hong Kong version of 5.0.2 to my gpad using LG Flash Tool 2014 and everything went well. Now I found out that there is a 5.1 update in the net for gpad and I even manage to download it. But the problem is that the update file is in zip format which means that I cannot use the Flash tool and it seems that LG disable recovery mode to allow sideloading of update zip files. I really don't want to install custom recovery so if anyone of you have any idea of what I can do to flash this update, please help.
Finally got TWRP to work
Next step is to install cm-13.0
Followed this post to get TWRP working. Had some problems regarding location of *.img files. But if you read the thread I have explained what I had to do.

First, thank you for any help!
I did look threw the forums, as best I could... I did see any solutions here that worked for me... saw some one another site.. they did not work.
I can no longer get into ANY recovery boot... Every time I do the buttons, to go into recovery... it show "booting into recovery" blinks, vibrates... and then boots into the phone in normal mode....
I recently had to flash it to stock with Odin.... which lost my root.... I tried to install TWRP , so I could root it... did not work... then used KINGOROOT, to root it, which it claims DID work (the rooting) , after two tries... and then it did allow me to go into "stock recovery" mode...
...so i then flashed TWRP with Odin... and ... now, again, I get not get ANY recovery mode to come up.
ARGH!!!!!!!
Please help??

I know that there is a new version of TWRP... but I have heard there are problems with the newer TWRP flashing ROM's....
On another site, someone said that the problem was that if you flash back to stock, the new (stock) bootloader has a line it it, to check that you can only use stock recovery file... ... >sigh<....

Got it fixed!!
Figured I would say how, in case someone else has the same problem.
I had already rooted the phone with "Kingoroot" , when I was trying to put TWRP on...
By downloading and running "TWRP MANAGER" from the play store, it was able to install it on my phone, and I am now able to boot into recovery.
Good luck!!
