Ok so I could use some help. I've successfully rooted & flashed recoveries/roms on my older android phones (Droid Charge & Galaxy Nexus), but I'm having some trouble with my LG G2.
I've followed the IOroot & have root on my 980 but I cannot, for the life of me, get TWRP installed on this phone. I've tried Flishify, I've tried Clockwork Mod Manager, I've tried downloading & using a terminal in manually install it....no luck.
Clockword Mod Manager said it flashed a CWM recovery, but I would get the default standard recovery (no good for flashing roms). So I tried the terminal & typed the code exactly...then I lost recovery entirely. Now when I try to boot to recovery I get an LG screen & a Secure Boot Verification Error - then I have to do the Power & Vol Up to reboot the phone. I then tried Flashify, same results.
I downloaded Root Browser & verified that all my files for TWRP appear in the SDCard folder, so I don't think there should've been any issues w/the terminal, but that's where the trouble started.
Does anybody know how to regain recovery or how to salvage a custom recovery on 24A?
Much appreciated.
Thanks

my g2 with perm root will not boot into recovery with rom manager/ clockwork installed please help. trying to get cyanogen 6.
thanks in advance
How are u trying to boot into recovery the only way clockwork works is by selecting rom manager and selecting boot into recovery
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
yes i am using rom manager reeboot into recovery and all i get is a red triangle until i pull the battery
also how can i confirm that i have perm root?
Hit Vol Up and Power. This will continue the boot into recovery. If you have Clockwork you'll see it then, otherwise, you'll still see the stock recovery. If you see stock, reboot and reapply Clockwork recovery.
You can verify root if you boot without running visionary and then go into terminal and type su. If you get a # prompt, you have root.
This might sound stupid but select the install on the app menu and install it again. Mine did the same thing to me and I tried it again, 5 seconds later I saw the recovery mod screen.

Late reply but if you have yet to figure out, you have to click flash clockworkmod recovery! took me a few hours to figure out but it did the fix for me xD
I have been trying to get clockwork to work forever on my Vibrant and I finally got it to work.I rooted my phone using super one click method then I installed 3e_recovery installer onto phone.I used Rom Manager to install Clockwork for Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S.Every time I would load onto stock recovery and reinstalled packages 2 times and it would never load into Clockwork recovery (I tried so many different things to get it to work for about a week).So today I used Rom Manager to install Clockwork again but this time I selected Galaxy S Captivate instead of the Galaxy S vibrant(which is the phone I own).I rebooted into recovery and reinstalled packages twice and it finally booted into Clockwork recovery.I just figured there must be other frustrated people having the same issue so I thought this might be helpful to somebody.

Is this reliable or was it just a fluke? I'm trying to get CWM on my new vibrant which has kb5 stock rom.
I used superoneclick to root and install busybox, but I have no clockworkmod.
In ROM manager, I select flash clockworkmod recovery. Select Vibrant. It says something like recovery downloaded. Then does nothing.
So I then select reboot into recovery which takes me to stock recovery. I select reinstall packages a few times and nothing happens except the signature failure each time, so then I end up rebooting from there.
Am I going wrong somewhere? I have searched around a bit but haven't got the solution yet. Thanks.
Wait, are you saying you selected the captivate option in rom manager on your VIBRANT?

The problem is, the 3e recovery in our 2.2 roms used different signing keys that haven't been cracked like 2e has. So, you need to replace the recovery file with a fixed one, or odin a voodoo kernel and be done.
Bit this is not the thread on where to discus that.

getting clockwork
did you uninstall the old clockwork frist or did it copy over it
What I did is I odin back to stock. Find an app called z4root once you have root download rom manager then install rom from there this is an easier method

Hey guys
I'm having an issue booting into clockwork recovery. and i'm having even more of an issue finding the answer, I'm pretty sure that someone is gonna come up with a thread which already answers my Q, I just don't know enough of the terms to search sorry
I've followed instructions here in Kursks walk through to unlock my loader, install super user and install clockwork mod etc.
Clockwork mod and super user are now fully upto date.
I've managed to do a backup of my current rom using clockwork mod.
I have also managed to get the phone to boot in to clockwork recovery from within the android app. But only once.
when ever i now try to do a backup, reboot into recovery, or boot to loader menu and select recovery it always fails.
I get the image of a box with the arrow next to android, then after a few seconds the box and arrow turn into a triangle with "!" inside it.
I'm probably making a rookie error here, but I'm having trouble finding the answer.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Reflash clockworkmod recovery via fastboot.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Hi and thanks for your reply
well i reflashed clockwork mod and selected to reboot into recovery, and that worked fine
I then booted back to android, selected a rom to DL and install, and got the same issue again
re-flashed again, selected a rom to install and that appears to be working
Do you have to re-flash clockwork recovery everytime? or is mine doing something weird?
Thanks again for your reply

Code:

I'll ask aswell.
Clockwork recovery won't stick for me either. I9023.
I don't have the /etc/install-recovery.sh anywhere. Looked and searched via root explorer. No files whatsoever called install-recovery.sh. On CM7.
Can anyone give me any tips?
Downgrade to older clockwork via Rom manager . I've had that problem it makes no different and it works fine
Thanks guys I think you've managed to sort me out
Hey all, trying to flash CM10.2 on my G2 and I'm not able to boot into a custom recovery. Here's how I did everything.
Rooted - all was successful as far as I can tell. Was able to install Titanium backup and backup files and allow root.
I downloaded ROM Manager and installed CWM. When I went to boot into recovery, i get the error with the Android a red triangle exclamation point above him. So I tried to switch to TWRP through Rom manager, no luck. I tried to 'flash' TWRP through the command prompt and download of the recovery file, no luck.
I saw somewhere to download SuperSU, so I did that and tried again, and same issues. When I 'cleaned' SuperSU, uninstalled and reinstalled it but this time chose 'use custom recovery' - it tied to reboot into recovery, saw a standing up right android with a spinning icon, but then went to the same error.
Obviously I'm missing something somewhere. Can't figure out what.
Thanks for any help!
Don't use rom manager. Either use adb and push the recovery or use the app flashify to install the recovery. There are many threads ids the development sections on how to install recoveries

Thanks, Is there a way to undo what I've done from rom manager? Because I used adb to push the recovery and still had the same issue, and using flashify to flash the image doesn't seem to work. Booting into recovery just gets me to stock recovery asking 'do you want to factory wipe your device'
Edit: When I boot to recovery from within flashify, it gives a 'boot certification error' upon booting

Are you using a recovery that has been Loki'd. The G2 needs this to by pass the bootloader. By that error it does not seem you used the correct recovery file.

I used the one from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 - 2.6.3.3 and just flashed it with flashify most recently. But I was having the same issue when I installed it via adb and 'option 1' as shown there.
Yeah, when flashing that recovery image using option 1, I still get "secure booting error - boot certification verify" after I reboot into recovery
Huh, I got it.
Reading this post here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48118278&postcount=567
Someone else was having the same issue as me. The newest recovery gave him that same error. Flashed 2.6.3.2 and it worked fine. (So far)
Glad to hear. Good Luck.
Someone please help me! I was trying to install Philz recovery by flashing it from twrp recovery but Philz recovery didn't show up when I tried going to recovery mode. Instead the screen just went black. So I restarted the phone and tried to use the android terminal to flash it manually by typing..
Su
dd if /sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm sdcc.1/by-name/recovery. (I don't remember the message the terminal gave after that)
Now, judging from the fact that 1)the internal storage is now empty. 2) browser crashes when trying to download files and 3)superuser won't work for any app (apps that I'm trying to use to somehow flash back the twrp recovery so I can restore a backup ex. Flashify)... I'm assuming I made a mistake when typing in android terminal. Is there any hope for me or do I have an expensive paper weight?
Extra info: I can boot into the rom (aokp 4.4) just fine... No more data or cell connection... wifi still works. LG G2 803. Bell Canada.
Please if anyone has any tips help me out. Thank you in advance. I'll continue searching for forums for answers.
Edit: a potential solution i found is to flash a stock rom with the "r&d tool" but will that bring back the files in the internal storage?

freegee from the market will install a recovery.
as a last resort you can flash back to stock.

problem solved. Used the last resort, but immediately after flashing kdz the LG logo kept bootlooping. So I did factory restore by holding down up button and power button. Thank you.
