Recovery

Finally got my G2 to TO root with su binaries installed. Now can someone point me in the direction of a recovery install That will work after latest update. I have tried flashing and a couple other methods to no avail.
Thanks in advance

Update guessing is the ota? You can use flashify app from play store to flash either TWRP recovery 2.6.3.2 that is a IMG. Or 2.6.3.3. That's a zip file .....

Okay will try

I just read in another thread that custom recoveries cannot yet be flashed on the latest OTA. You have to revert back in order to have a custom recovery. According to this thread.

If you DONT have the ota and update with a custom recovery it will bootloop, need stock recovery but if you have the ota flashing a custom recovery is fine...could always see if theirs a stock ROM with ota included too
I have the ota and twrp recovery rooted...

I got the phone this past Friday. Took the ota update before even attempting to root the device. I used the newest ioroot12 and achieved root yesterday. I have tried to use the Loki method to flash recovery also tried using flashify neither one has worked. What method did you use. Also thanks for your help...??

Just flashed recovery img with flashify again. It says complete and gives option to flash more stuff or reboot. I choose reboot and it powers off. So I tried power button and vol down and that way also just powers off...

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.

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

if you are on the 10o software version on an ATT phone ten yes I would recommend flashing back wit the flash tool if you want to be able to flash roms. There are a lot of people that had the 0o software and had issues flashing different roms

Can't flash Cwm or TWRP

Hello, I've looked around for a solution to this with no joy. I managed to root my note 3 with no problem with cf autoroot only to find that I still had a stock recovery.
I tried other methods also and I just cannot get a custom recovery to flash on my device.
When I try to flash a cwm via Odin it leaves me in a bootloop.
Any ideas?
Its the SM-N9005 Model

Tried CWM or TWRP?

Yes i did state that
Sent from my Moto G using xda app-developers app

You mentioned cwm but not twrp ( unless I missed it ). I linked cwm just to make sure you used the one proven to work with 4.4.2 as you didn't mention exactly which one you used and I believe there are other cwm variants ( phil's touch, original cwm ). If my attempt to help isn't appreciated, a simple yes or no would suffice. I know how to read.

Flashify + 2.8.3.0 --> Download Mode
I am on TWRP 2.8.1.0. I used Flashify to flash 2.8.3.0 img. The phone rebooted into Download Mode with no selectable menu options and stating it could not boot normally and write protection is enabled. Neither a long power button hold, a long power button hold + plus volume up, nor a battery pull would stop the phone from booting immediately into Download Mode.
I used the combo volume up + home button + long power button and instead of the previous Download Mode screen, a different screen pops up giving me two choices continue loading a custom OS or rebooting. When I select "reboot", the phone reboots normally. When I tried to enter TWRP recovery without using Flashify, the phone rebooted to Download Mode again. When I tried to use Flashify to flash a zip of TWRP 2.8.1.0, Flashify could not access the zip. I tried the TWRP app (which didn't work so well for me in the past), and it too leads to Download Mode when I try to flash the 2.8.1.0 zip or install OpenRecovery Script 2.8.1.0.
Unfortunately, my USB port is non-functional. (It died in an accident a few months back.) I cannot connect to my laptop via wire connection. (I can use FTP and bluetooth to transfer files and FTP to traverse the file system.)
Without being able to enter recovery mode nor using ADB, any ideas how can install or restore a functional recovery?

You're on nb1 bootloader. Safestrap is the only recovery that will work. To use twrp you'd have to be on mdl and you can't go back to that. See the link I gave you in your other thread. That's all you can do with the device and firmware you're on

If you're rooted use flashify from the play store. Download the image from (Google i337 team win)
Edit, just read your previous post. Try flashify. If that doesn't work see the method through a terminal emulator given on team win site, the one you googled, using dd command

Wow. Thanks for the quick response but I don't think you read my message.
As posted above, I used Flashify to flash the official 2.8.3.0 img. However, the phone rebooted into Download Mode with no selectable menu options and stating it could not boot normally and write protection is enabled. Neither a long power button hold, a long power button hold + plus volume up, nor a battery pull would stop the phone from booting immediately into Download Mode.
I used the combo volume up + home button + long power button and instead of the previous Download Mode screen, a different screen pops up giving me two choices continue loading a custom OS or rebooting.

When I tried to use Flashify to flash a zip of TWRP 2.8.1.0, Flashify could not access the zip. I tried the TWRP app (which didn't work so well for me in the past), and it too leads to Download Mode when I try to flash the 2.8.1.0 zip or install OpenRecovery Script 2.8.1.0.
Unfortunately, my USB port is non-functional. (It died in an accident a few months back.) I cannot connect to my laptop via wire connection. (I can use FTP and bluetooth to transfer files and FTP to traverse the file system.)
