I was able to root successfully but not able to flash a recovery.
No recovery for me either hope someone figures it out

Not 100% sure, but I think you can use the flash tool to put the old image on, root it, and either flash a non-stock rom or use Titanium Backup to freeze the update app and prevent it from re-updating. You can do a Titanium Backup of your apps first so you don't lose quite everything in the reflash (but be sure to move it to your computer, I think the stock reflash wipes out everything).

Ok, I finally got around to trying it (wasn't sure if I was going to keep the G2 or go for S4, but G2 it is. I installed the LG drivers (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_nizg6yUZ0NWnp5b2U2VkxKbFE/edit?usp=sharing) and followed the instructions line for line, didn't have any problems. Titanium seems to be working Ok for me. If adb isn't working, it's probably a configuration issue on your computer.

10o can be rooted as pointed out. They were testing recovery for it as well a day or 2 ago. Not sure what happened with it.

You might be right. root method was giving me issues pushing recovery and ytiruces files to my sdcard. so i did it manually and ran root method again. that did the trick.

I used freegee to flash 2.6.3.3. Unfortunately, the version listed is 2.6.3.0 after doing so. I then used Flashify to flash 2.6.3.3, but I received an error and it turned to black. how did you upgrade from 2.6.3.0 to 2.6.3.3?
Sorry I miss spoke. The version of TWRP I have is 2.6.3.0. that I downloaded from freegee. If it's not working I'd try again as I did not do anything special and make sure the file name matches the flash version. I hope this helps. I am on ATT by the way.

It seems that the guys in the following link could flash TWRP and loki. I could successfully boot to TWRP recovery using flashify but I can't flash loki using the script they have provided. I get the error

Please help me if you could successfully flash loki, thanks a lot.

One of my brother's friend made "something" to my brother's phone trying to update it.
In short, he bricked the phone (p700), which is looping on boot animation.
What I tried so far:
-I used KDZ and pushed the V20A_00.kdz that has CWM 6.0.2.8, still no boot
-I tried to install a Custom Firmware got error "Status 7" telling me that the CF I wanted to install was for the p700 and my device is a "u0"
Now I'm stuck at this point, what am I doing wrong?
-I thought of pushing a valid p700 build.prop through ADB, but "su" command doesn't work.
-I thought of editing the "scriptupdater" file of the CF, first I tried with this method this time it doesn't give me "Status 7" but it aborts the installation without furher explanation
At this point I'm starting to lose hope, I really want to fix this, please, could you help me?

You have to update your recovery with Rom Manager or flash the latest TWRP with CWM ( TWRP is an other recovery ) ! No need to edit anything !

Sometimes, the problem happens when your recovery is outdated. So, download ROM Manager and in the app you'll be able to update CWM. If it's already update, download TWRP by @tudorsbird and flash it with CWM. Your recovery will be TWRP but you won't be able to restore backups performed with CWM. If you can't boot but have a SD card, you can put TWRP on the card and flash it.
Or, you can try this ( with Fastboot ) to flash a new recovery :

Hey,
I went back from CM11 on my 802 to an old backup of stock rom, still had TWRP v.2.6.3.2.
The phone downloaded the OTA update automatically and when I rebooted it just got stuck in TWRP recovery. I tried the "go back to stock" but I get "the phone is not connected" at the LG mobile support tool. Don't know what to do now, tried flashing other backups etc. Can I somehow flash a new recovery in TWRP?

Yeah I can't find it in adb devices. I can see it in device manager under USB-devices but it has a triangle. Can it be a problem with the drivers?
You can also try the terminal on twrp

Thank you! This worked!!
So yeah. Installed the FreeGee beta which supposedly supports KitKat. It installed TWRP and it works...but now if I try booting into the actual OS, I get stuck at the LG logo (not the animated one).
"Alright," I said, annoyed. "I'll have to just use download mode and go back to 4.2.2 and start over."
Except download mode doesn't work. It gets stuck on the Download Mode splash screen but doesn't go any further...
What should I do? :/
TWRP - working
OS - not working
Download mode - not working
Well if you have adb setup you can try pushing a 4.2 Rom plus jb baseband to see if you can boot that way

Would that fix Download Mode?
I'm not sure

I believe you were supposed to flash a patched kernel for kk after installing the recovery.
if you can push it to your phone and flash it in recovery it might boot correctly. i could be wrong though
No idea how to push it to the phone. ADB sideload doesn't work, just says "starting" but doesn't actually progress.
EDIT: Alright I fixed the sideload. It works now! Any guidance as to what kernel files I need to flash? Sorry for being so terrible at this.

Nope, cause I just installed the recovery from scratch so...never really had the chance to do a backup before things went downhill.
In other news, I fixed my sideload so now it's working. Any guidance as to what kernel I need to flash? Sorry for being so terrible at this.

Here's a link to the patched kk kernels - download the one for your variant : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=12894 [taken from thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680948]
im not completely sure it will work but if i remember correctly you need this patched kernel (or any other patched kk kernel) for everything to work correctly (kk + root + recovery)
Hey man, thanks for sticking with me and giving me all the recommendations. I managed to sideload the latest Mahdi ROM along with my variant's kernel. Currently doing first boot but it's taking a while...
BOOTED! Now attempting Download Mode.
Alright, download mode is still broken. I can boot in and everything but no Download Mode. This is a weird issue.

no worries, i was really stoked when i got everything working so i kinda remember the process
not sure about mahdi rom since i dont think its based on the official kk source for this phone
you should only need a patched kernel if you are using a stock kk rom or the g pro 2 ports with a custom recovery
Yeah I meant the patch that is supplied with Mahdi.
So the issue now has evolved to: I have TWRP, I can boot in just fine, and everything works fine..except download mode is broken. I don't even know where to start on how to fix that. Any ideas? Cause if it's stuck this way, I'm gonna have to be really damn careful with how I use this phone from now on.
Unfortunately idk **** about fixing download mode lol.
Maybe try flashing a stock kdz and starting the root + recovery process over

Aside: I do have the stock aboot.img file...would flashing it fix this?
Its worth a shot I guess. Do a Backup then try flashing the aboot and then the patched kernel again. If it comes down to it haha
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
Again sorry for being super crap at this, but how exactly do I flash the .img? I noticed in the freegee folder there's a "revert aboot" zip but it fails to flash (some binary installer issue), even with using 2.6.3.4 which should fix installer issues.
You probably have to push it somewhere via adb. Im pretty crap at this stuff too so don't worry.
Id Go over that thread I linked earlier before trying anything drastic just to be sure.

some people have managed to get the stock recovery back by using adb&fastboot or dd command&linux but it is complicated for people who have not done so before, the only other way to get stock recovery back is to flash the stock kdz/tot file loosing all data and returning to complete stock
