[Q] I need help to install recovery

Hi. First of all, sorry for my english.
I've got a problem when I try to install custom recovery or TWRP or Philz.
This is what happens when I install it in my LG G2 D802.
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot: cannot open for read: Permission denied
Unable to open /data/local/tmp/aboout.img: No such file or directory
[+] loki_patch v2.1
[-] Failed to open /data/local/tmp/aboot.img for reading.
[+] loki_flash v2.0
[-] Failed to open aboot for reading.
Reboot into recovery no [y/n]?
I tried everything and it still not works, i'm going crazy :laugh:
I hope that you can help me. Sorry for my english again, thank you all.

Yes, it's rooted. And it's 4.4.2 stock rom.
I've tried that but the app says: "AutoRec cannot install it. Try to install it manually" or something like that.

Autorec doesn't work on every variant. You might have to flash a different stock ROM using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 and then use autorec. What is your software version?

I've flashed a Stock ROM today and it isn't works. What do you mean with Software version? It's a LG G2 D802 with Stock ROM 4.4.2

His error actually said that Autorec couldn't install loki(it means : 1. it isn't properly rooted 2. it isn't stock rom 3. he didn't give the permissions)

I think i've done it all. My rom is this:
6H3/HUTCHISON_16G(UNITED KINGDOM) V20D LGD802 from LG firmware lists (I can't paste links)
I'm from Spain and that ROM is from United Kingdom, could it be the problem?

OMG. I don't know how I've done this but AutoRec has finally installed TWRP. And I can enter recovery mode and it appears Team Win.
I've rooted it again and installed the apk. Thank you guys.
Can I install custom ROMs now, right?

[Q] D802T How do I root and install custom recovery?

Hi guy's,
I apologize if this has already been asked, i just cannot seem to find the answer by searching.
I was able to root my G2 but when i installed a custom recovery thats when i came into a soft brick(which is now fixed).
I have the Australian D802T model and i would like to know a full proof way of rooting and installing a custom recovery (twrp preferably) please.
Links to the correct info would be great.
i just dont want to stuff it up again.
Thanks

You have to root manually, the automatic root doesn't work with our variant.
@XxZombiePikachu helped me to achieve this in the noob Q&A section he is very helpful!
Here's the method though.
Download ioroot25 ( you'll find a link to it in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705259 )
1)open cmd window inside ioroot25 folder (in an empty space in the folder hold shift and right click mouse)
2)place phone in airplane mode and enable usb debugging then plug into pc
3)type adb devices in cmd to make sure device is visible
4)after you see your device type adb reboot recovery
5)when the phone reboots into stock recovery using volume keys scroll to adb sideload update option and use power button to confirm
6)in cmd window type adb sideload kk_root.zip
7)you should see dat root on phone screen
8)enjoy root
if you follow these steps, you'll have root.

You guys are in LUCK
There is a new form of rooting that is FOOL PROOF
It is an apk you install, hit the button, wait for re-boot and PRESTO you have root.
Best thing of all is that it works on ALL G2 Variants.
So now you can root any G2 on 4.4.2 KitKat very easily. (Which wasn't possible before with ioroot for all variants)
Meaning it'll root any G2 made. Not just the 802.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Install TowelRoot from here: http://towelroot.com/
2. Then install AutoRec from here for TWRP recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
(AUTOREC NOT FOR D802T - I WAS TOLD THIS WILL PRICK YOUR DEVICE)
3. Then download and install SuperSU in the Play store (this method does not install SuperUser)
DONE!
Thanks . And of course I'm not responsible if this breaks the device or kills the cat. Use at your own risk

Autorec will brick phones with d802t roms, even if you install the d802t version of it. Please update your post. As of now the only way to get a recovery is to flash another kdz with the back to stock method and then use autorec.

I can only suggest trying it on windows xp, download everything with your antivirus off, use com41 and someone else mentioned disabling the lge modem from device manager.

Open euro d80220b. And then you'll want to use d802 autorec. Not d802t.

You won't have any problems except APN settings and getting 4G to stick. All d802's are the same. But if your dead set on having an Aussie ROM you can find it here
I used this flashtool yesterday and its so easy. Its just a point and click method.

Mate I used this method yesterday and I cannot get it to boot afterwards. What am I doing wrong?Have you actually flashed the open euro into your d802t? U say all 802s are the same. I've lost half my hair over this phone and its because the Australia version is definitely not the same it's very different and I'm almost to the stage where I will sell it and buy an international variant

Pooch, your right about the Aussie version being different. My phone had D802T software but was still a standard d802. Since that's the case, you can flash the jb D80210TA kdz which was your original rom and now you can flash your recovery the old way. I really hope this works for you now, you've been struggling with this for ages.

can't root the device!

i have d802 32gb , 4.4.2
and tryed root via IORoot and towelroot but both methods doesn't work...

Search for ioroot25. If that doesn't work search for stump 1.2.0. I had to use Stump to root a D800 with the latest firmware.

I feel I should add to this comment,
IORoot25 will downgrade your bootloader to Jelly Bean, and installs a Custom Recovery.
StumpRoot will only root your device, keep your KitKat bootloader and does not install a Custom Recovery.

So if I want to use "-=- CloudyG2 [KK] -=- ", which method is better?

In order to flash a ROM, you need a custom recovery.

Then I'd go to download mode and flash the 20c tot for the D800 since that's what you have. It's posted here on xda, a search will be necessary. It's kitkat and is the newest tot we have to my knowledge. Since you were planning on this being a D802, I'll infer that you're not an AT&T customer so OTA's are not an option. For that reason, and the fact we have nothing newer than a kk tot...once you get to stock, you'll have to root and flash twrp (for the d800) and then flash a custom rom such as Cloudy or similar to get a LP rom. So using the 20c kitkat tot makes life easier since then autorec works for twrp and stumproot also works on 20c I believe.

You don't have root right now so you can't backup your efs. You can and should back it up after flashing the tot and rooting though. I've not heard of people corrupting their efs during the tot flash but anything can happen I suppose. So yeah, the thread you linked should work good. There's also a return to stock thread for the g2 that you can reference. I can't post links well right now being mobile but if you search "LG g2 return to stock" it'll come up first in your Google search results.

Before that you could also try root using SRK tool. Google it and you should find the Xda page.

And how do i know i am going for 32gb version files ?

Yeah that's the thread I was talking about. You can use it as a reference because it has good pic instructs. But at the end of the day, you'll be using the 20c tot from the thread you linked earlier. It is correct for your 32gb phone. All D800 tots are 32gb because all D800's are 32gb.

If it's local store, why don't you just return it and try to get a not frankenphone one if they have it? Worth a shot

Open tot with hexeditor, search for "800". First instance should be full model number followed by s/w version. Edit only that first model from D800 to D802. Save and exit. You may still need the 8974 dll to avoid cross dll error.

I assume that's because you don't have an active AT&T SIM installed. As mentioned, you'll need to get your LP by way of root, recovery and a custom rom. Are you still able to make calls in your current state? If so, you're good. The D800 works globally to my knowledge. Or at least in most regions, not sure about all.
