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.

What version and how
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I used a program called freegee and then used flashify. Previously this method did not work but it works now for twrp 2.6.3.3.

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
\loki_flash:can't execute: Permission denied
Please help me if you could successfully flash loki, thanks a lot.

[Q] G2 ATT recovery wont go through !!

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.

are you on 10d, 10o or 10q?

10q

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.

Recovery loop

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

I had tried that fix and it never worked for me i'd reccomend flashing a zv8 modem thats what fixed me
edit but you should probably only do this if that other fix didn't work for you

[Q] Transfer TWRP back up using ADB

Hey,
Can someone explain to me how I can tranfer a TWRP back up from my PC to my LG G2 D802 using adb sideload?
I got an OTA and updated, now I get a constant TWRP bootloop and don't have a back up.
I was running the 4.4.2 LG KK rom with custom recovery and root : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681205
I want to place my TWRP back up of my rom, so I can use this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659231.
I removed the back up from my phone because it was 4 gb large, hovewer I also do not have enough room to place this back up.
So:
I have to remove some files so I have enough place to place my back up file, so I can restore my phone.

ok first that is not a tutorial that is someone else with the same problem as you and if you would have read through he stated restoring a backup didn't and I can confirm that restoring a backup will not do anything I suggest you try this and if that doesn't work check to see if download mode is working so that you can use the back to stock thread in the general section

I think the best way now is to revert to stock using the lg flash tool ?

Man, thank you so much for taking your time to help me.
I do have a couple of questions:
1) When I revert to stock am I returing to the state when I bought my phone thus jellybean so I will be able to upgrade to 4.4.2 with custom recovery ?
2) Am I than able to restore my nandroid back up of the previous ROM?
AS I STILL HAVE TWRP:
1) Would it not be easier to transfer the roms and files needed from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681205
and just flash them in the same proces?
2) Would it not be easier to just flash another custom rom like pacman or paradroid using ADB Sideload, as I read in many cases that flash tool stops during the process ?

You can restore to stock 4.2 or 4.4 it's up to you and the kdz you download, if you restore to 4.2 after rooting and getting recovery you will be able to restore your previous nandroid, if you decide to go to 4.4 then root and recovery are available but to restore your 4.2 nandroid you would need to flash the in baseband too, it would be easier to and flash but that wouldn't get you out of recovery the moment the phone tried to ota it creates a dev block(temporary partion) which holds on to the ota file so that it can be installed/flashed the with the phones stock recovery and the only way to get rid of it is by flashing stock kdz

Okay I get what you're saying, flashing stock is the way to go
Flash back to 4.4 and than apply root and custom recovery with the AutoRec – KitKat Recovery Installer
Btw to apply method 3 as you suggested:
do I have to put my phone in dowload mode or just on during the lg logo ?
Those are my only questions I still have left.
Thank you so much for your time

I dit it ! It worked due to your instructions thank you so much !!
I could not get into Download mode because the phone kept rebooting, the trick is to keep on pressing the volume down and the middle button until the phone completely shuts down and does not reboot.
Try it this way.

Can you the best way to root my device so I can perfom a custom recovery with autorec?
