Im having a huge issue getting TWRP 2.7.0.1 or any version of TWRP to install. I am used to flashing HTC style and now im just confused and getting frustrated- i used flashify and downloaded the zip and extracted the img, flashed and rebooted- when the phone reboots i get an error message that is like 3 lines long in either red or white text. Any help would be amazing, thanks

if you are on kitkat you cannot use flashify to install recovery, you need to use AutoRec
Which file?

actually we used to be able to use flashify with most of the 4.2 firmwares of g2, the kitkat update overcomplicated a lot of things for us here but we are still going strong
Yeah ive been doing a lot of research and I'm amazed at how many obstacles y'all have overcame- so glad that I'm apart of the community now! One more question that I havent quite found a definite answer for- now that im rooted, have TWRP 2.7.0.1 and have downloaded a rom/gapps on phone... Do I just reboot to recovery, backup/wipe, install rom and then gapps and reboot system and thats it? Or will I be soft bricked... Thanks in advance for any info

Which rom to be more specific ?
Always try reading the 1st page of every thread, then look back for at least 4-5 last pages to see if there were any issues.
For non stock roms you would require to flash "aosp kk baseband" by dr87
Also watch the thread if your variant is actually supported.
New, updated roms(non stock) are also maybe updated to 4.4.2 sources and don't require the upper "aosp kk baseband" but you will learn how and why in no matter of time, cheers
I troll the OP/threads and Google for hours and hours before finally posting a question. Going from the Rezound to the G2 is a massive difference in procedures lol added a pic of the zip i was thinking about flashing. Thanks

rename it to update.zip and drop it in the root of your SD card, reboot to recovery and run the update..
Assuming you aren't rooted and using stock recovery..

Won't work since you're rooted. You're going to have to wait until someone patches it up to be CWM flashable.

Download the MF9 tar file and install through odin to return to stock and start over unless you have a nandroid you can restore. Sounds like there is something corrupted in your files and it will be better to start from scratch.
Thanks can u give me steps on how to do that and should I run the pit file in Odin too? I saw that some where

Have you tried this with other tw roms or aosp roms? Also you might want to downgrade to twrp 2.5.0.2 since 2.6 is a bit buggy
Edit: here is the link for twrp 2.5.0.2 I got it from sacs rom
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2c9fqr1b8q63cjt/TWRP-Recovery-jfltespr-2.5.0.2.zip
Just flash it in twrp and your good to go
Also flash kernel to see that is also the problem.

Try going to the dialer and typing *#0*#
This will bring up a test menu. From here you can test the touch screen.
After flashing a new rom rry it as well. This will test if it is the rom or not too. If it works theee but not ar other times it is probably the rom.

There is not much need to install another ROM really. I mean, I too love custom ROMs but to he honest, the ROM that comes in with the G2 is really good, lighting fast, smooth and customizable.
The only thing you'll need to do will be to remove any bloatware Verizon has pre-installed.
On the T-Mobile version there's only one custom ROM (basically a clean version of the stock)
There has been not much dev activity yet, but I hope to see improvements soon, specially once the N5 comes out. So they say.
Cheers!
I have the AT&T G2, but I highly recommend TWRP recovery. I had always used CWM prior to this device, too, but I'm not sure if you have to add the Loki exploit to bypass the bootloader with CWM. TWRP has the exploit built in as best I can tell.

So I made a complete backup with twrp today. My question is why do they give you the option to backup your recovery? Isn't twrp your recovery? If I was to backup from that stock backup would I be replacing twrp? What kind of inception is this lol.
Thanks.
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
I wonder the same thing but maybe it's if you flash cwm you can flash back to twrp but I tried to flash to cwm the other day and it said it was my recovery but would only boot into twrp. So I pretty much have no answer to your question, just more questions.

I guess what I'm trying to say is. If I mess up my phone that bad that I damage the recovery then the backup I made is useless no? If I messed up my twrp recovery then the backup I made of everything can't be flashed anyway.

No, because you backup your perfectly good system BEFORE you screw around with it. It's your safety net.

Since TWRP is skinnable and otherwise customizable, I'm going to assume the thought was that the backup saved your customization within TWRP.
