You should just go to twrp and get recovery images for your carrier and make then use the flashify app to flash the images.....BTW you should have root before hand
it is rooted via IOroot. ill give it a shot.
i fixed it in an odd way.
1 I had twrp installed but i never could boot strait into it i had to use adb or flashify.
2 Then i used flashify to install a zip of twrp updated with loki.
3. It booted into twrp installed it then poof i can no manually enter recovery!
Thank you guys for pointing me in the right direction!

It's pretty bulletproof, install driver, double click the batch phone, plug in phone, press y and then enter, wait. TWRP is installed, can flash custom ROM now or root using a flashable su binary like this one http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
I wouldn't be afraid of ADB, the only use I had for adb was pushing over the image of Loki and TWRP with adb push, and with rooting, look at "IOroot".

I too had not used adb in the past until this phone. I don't know why I never wanted to use it, but it is pretty simple to use. As long as you follow the directions in the threads for installing twrp or cwm and make sure to do exactly as they say you should be fine. Since there are a few versions of this phone just make sure you are getting the right recovery for your phone
You could use your phone to download the recovery image (TWRP) and use flashify (found in the play store) to flash the image. It's quick and easy.
I used flashifly and works easily. My only question when I used flashifly with art image does it come with loki installed with it. And if so will flashifly take me right into recovery to flash New roms?
Thanks

UsingRom Manager or Flashify is not really recommended. Who knows what version you are getting of whatever you are trying to flash. Better to use the simple adb commands and .bat script with loki to properly install a recovery with loki built in and to get root installed.
I used Flashify to install TWRP and I do not know if it is a Flashify or TWRP issue but the backups I do in TWRP has dates at 1970 and the times are about 6 hours and 15 minutes off. Does anyone know if this is a TWRP or Flashify issue?
Trying to decide if I should use adb to install TWRP on my G2.

That's a TWRP issue.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
I have the Tmobile LG G2 (D801)
-Software D890110G
-Build JDQ39B
-Rooted using ioroot method
I cannot install either TWRP or CWM Recovery.
No matter what method I use to install a recovery (a zipped recovery) or using adb fastboot, I always end up on a black screen with
[720] Fastboot mode started
[770] udc_start()
I need the latest CWM or TWRP so I can flash 4.4 Roms. I feel like there is no definite guide on how to install the recovery or it seems like a recovery for D801 does not exist.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.
-Esteef
There is a guide and a YouTube video walking you through installing twrp through adb. I used it Saturday, works. But I'm thinking I need cwm to install cm11 twrp fails every time.

I just I stalled twrp on my phone today, so here's how I did it. Download recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469995 , save it on phone SD, dcim folder. Now download flashify from play store. Go to app and choose recovery image, look for the one downloaded earlier. That will flash the recovery and boot after.

Just Tried your method I still get the black screen with the Text on the top left corner.
I'm starting to believe I cannot change recoveries on my phone.
Also, using your method, It only installs 2.6.3.2 , I need 2.6.3.4 or latest CWM cause I want 4.4 based roms. 2.6.3.2 always give me an error when installing 4.4 roms

I am having the same problem can someone help.
I've spent hours scouring these forums for this answer and I can't figure this out and need help. I had a flash go bad and caused me to hang at the LG logo. I followed the instructions on how to revert to stock and after several attempts and methods, I managed to get to a Verizon boot loop after flashing the 12b kdz. Then using the tot method, I got the 11a to work. So, now I am back to stock and re-rooted with ioroot20.
Now no matter what I do, I cannot boot to CWM recovery. Please help. All I can get is the Android laying on his side with an exclamation point inside a red triangle.

Since you flashed back to stock, the restore process restored stock recovery (dead android with red exclamation). You need to reinstall a custom recovery.

I've done that several times. The way I am doing it is through clockwork and just letting it download. Is there another way I should be doing it?

You can use the adb file in ioroot to flash your recovery. Adb will verify if your recovery has been flashed properly.
Use one of these files

What does that do different than installing through CWM?
Hi, I have a rooted Sprint LG G2 and have been trying to get a custom recovery working. I downloaded TWRP 2.7 and flashed the zip with Flashify but it doesnt seem to be working even though I get a message saying it was flashed. If I reboot into recovery it just reboots the phone and if I manually try to boot into recovery it goes to stock recovery. Anyone know how I might fix this and get it to work?
Are you on kitkat or jellybean also flashify is for flashing images and if you aren't careful you can just brick

I'm on Kitkat. Flashify has an option for zips so I thought it would work.

Well you should be glad it didn't work otherwise you would end up with a broken recovery or a soft brick, anyways you should use AutoRec to install custom recovery on kitkat
Sent from my dogs lg-d800
I couldnt sideload apps from my SD card so I had to factory reset. Maybe because I tried flashing a zip? Well I used AutoRec now and have a custom recovery. Than you!

The links you give mostly for L.. I don't know if that will work on M though
Try to extract boot.img from your Asus zip and flash it, root might lost (?)

So, I'm curious about it, and flash twrp myself just awhile ago...
And got bootloop, really... wait, seriously?
I'm like
How did the other day I'm able to survive this? It boot normally,
After 1st successful boot, flashing root, (I don't remember but just say I'm booting twrp this time), xposed, aware that root lost after reboot, I did my backup here,
Then deciding to start from scratch, installing official Asus, boot normally, flash twrp, rooting,rebooting few times and somehow root intact, install xposed, root lost...
Restart again, install Asus official (I'm not restoring my backup, really, the only thing I know how to install stock is by stock recovery itself) , boot twrp, install root by system, reboot, root intact, xposed, root intact, surfing net, registering xda yesterday, just now replying to your thread, then you can read from above again...
Just few minutes ago, restore recovery from backup (still bootloop though), installing Asus again, and make this reply...
Sorry can't help you, even I'm confused right now

Sorry, which part?
If about how I got my recovery back then, I don't really understand, let's assume I have my backup that time. now I have my backup, for real.
From what I understand, invalid boot mean either you got broken boot images or locked bootloader, so which one is familiar to you?
Anyway, you can try to flash back stock boot (grab from asus zip) and stock recovery (if you have them, or find on this forum?).
I don't know if locked bootloader can flash boot/recovery, never tried it myself. So, good luck!
