Flashify okay now?

I'm getting my G2 on Monday. A month or two ago I read these forums religiously when I was trying to decide what to upgrade to it was highly recommend not to use flashify to install TWRP. Now Im reading a lot about people using flashify. Has something changed? Has the common consensus changed? Thanks for any input.

I actually have not heard anything bad about using flashify to install TWRP. I did this and everything went smoothly

Used it for CWM. Everything else I do through CWM.

I can't remember exactly what the issue was. Something happening after the fact. It was removed from options in the twrp guide. Maybe that was with an older version of twrp

I actually used flashify to install TWRP on my At&t D800. I downloaded the .img and flashed recovery through flashify. Although you NEED root AND busybox installed. This method worked fine for me.

Where did you downloaded TWRP img & what is the version of your G2 ? Would like to try it if it is fine. Thanks.

If you don't want any problems or are timid and scared of recovery hard flash, do as citytrader suggests. It is very easy. Some people, like me, can be lazy and purposely risky with certain things and go the easy, tinkering, and sometimes damaging route. ;]

How is using flashify dangerous?
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk

One simple wrong line of code, something not playing well, no recovery. How isn't it besides pushing actual legit perfect line yourself.

Thanks for the info, unfortunately my version, d802b, doesn't supported.

Done it twice. Both before and after OTA. No problems either time. (Second time was after a brick rescue due to my incompetence.)

Yea no problems here. Rooted from my PC, then downloaded Flashify and installed custom recovery.

i know that... im asking about the freegee app

Download the recovery and use flashify from the market to flash the recovery. Also no boot loader unlock. We don't,need it at the moment as the recovery uses Loki which bypasses the boot loader

I emailed the Dev a couple of weeks ago. He said an update was coming soon for us g2 users, although I haven't seen it happen yet. Not sure if I'd trust it yet.

[Q] Custom ROM installation Error - 'Status 7 & Executing Updater binary"

Dear All,
I desperate need of help here. Sorry if I may sound Noob on this topic. I have international LG G2 (D802) - Rooted with custom recovery TWRP.
I'm not able install some custom roms based on Android 4.4.+ with error msg stating....
1. Error executing updater binary in zip
2. Status 7 . installation abort.
I did google on this subject and tried every single method from editing the binary file upto switching over the recovery (from TWRP to CWM) but still the problem exist
My guess is...... it may occur due to unlocked bootloader............. I don't know the status of my bootloader.......... just need help in unlocking the bootloader....

Just use search and not only google...
Flashing Philz recovery should help.
Aand you can not unlock the bootloader of a g2 btw.

I used to and still have the status 7 error often in galaxy s 2 and what u do is unpack rom and open update script in notepad ++ and remove the first 3 lines where it describes about get prop make sure to place the cursor on the start of first line and hold delete until the first 3 lines are removed and 4th lime sits in 1st line exactly without any further changes save it and repack it as it was before and try if it helps.

Solved_
Thanks All, Finally i got a way out. PHILZ RECOVERY has solved the problem. After enabling loki support everything custom rom get installed without any frustration. .
thanks again for the support.

I went to stock and started over with the updated twrp with the new lok support. Finally able to flash a few things again.

Root and OTA

If I ever get an OTA update (almost unheard of on AT&T), what do I need to do before I install it to not mess up my phone? It's currently just rooted on the stock ROM.

probably just go into supersu and click full unroot
unless you put a custom recovery on the phone

I just updated to Vs98012b. Anyone know of the io root method works the same? Havent really seen many threads about people talking about the new ota's
Its nothing but people that have bricked their phones on here.

you get a nice recovery bootloop
but if you get an update
just use the update tool on the pc and plug your phone in and even if you
have a custom recovery it'll update because the update tool does it in download mode

What does "upgrade recovery" do in LG Mobile Support Tool? I tried googling it and couldn't find anything. I rooted and installed TWRP, and the LG Mobile Support tool says I don't have an update available but I'm only on the D80010d, not D80010o

Cant flash recovery..

Hi, I tried to flash twrp recovery with some help from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 but it keeps saying fail.. I tried both options.

if rooted freegee is easier from app store, it gets proper automagically.
If trying to flash via cwm, get the recovery flashable zip from the thread and not the img. Doubt thats the case
Where did you get that awesome avatar btw?

Thanks awesome downloaded the zip file, could you please give me the steps on how to flash it ?
btw I created my avatar through this site http://www.faceyourmanga.com/editmangatar.php
sorry for my English I'm European .
BTW again, do I need an unlocked bootloader to flash roms like paranoid I'm on d802

"Keeps saying it failed" What failed, in what part? Also currently there's no way to unlock the bootloader, but use loki bypass instead, basically when you have recovery installed, you don't have to worry much about bootloader or loki.

if I have my recovery installed I can download roms ?

Yes you can and flash them without any problems. Only in twrp settings tick the option to use different format command or it'll take like 10 minutes to wipe cache

ehr, I fell for it, just go freegee way. easier.

Wasn't that fixed in v2.6.3.3 and above? Didn't take that long for me and that's what I'm using.
