Flashify offers the possibility to download and then install one of these three recovery: TWRP, CWM and Philz.
Flashify allows backup of kernel and recovery, boasting the ability to restore the previous state in case of backup.
Those who have already used Flashify, may confirm the correct operation?
---
I have another question: is known (except error, or novelty unknown to me) that on KK to install a recovery different from that stock is need to downgrade the bootloader. Flashify, also deals this?
use autorec, it works 100%

Flashify does work and is the easiest way to flash a recovery.. if your on jellybean.
If your on kitkat though the loki exploit doesn't work and you have to use the autorec app which downgrades the bootloader for you.
Just be aware that knock code will be lost after you use it, because it also changes the kernel so your phone can boot back up. To get it back you have to flash a custom kernel like cloudy or dori.

As far as I know and what i have research, the only rom recovery that can be flash to my LG G2 is TWRP and would have to use Loki to bypass the bootloader. Please correct me if I'm wrong in the information. I have the ATT version, software version is D80010o, and on 4.2.2 Android Version Stock Rom of cause.
Questions:
- Does the G2 have to have an unlocked bootloader to flash anything even if it is rooted?
- Is TWRP the only recovery that can be flashed to the G2? If so what is the "manger" for it similar to Rom manager with CWM.
- Is there any other way to backup your current rom without using any recovery, this is my main goal for the moment?
Note: I have check if it is compatible with CWM base on the website yet when i flash CWM with Rom Manager( not the touch support version) and try to reboot the Red Triangle pops up. I have tried with Flashify and download the recovery img to the sd and it comes up with secure booting error ( I'm not sure if this is because i flashed both CWM and CWM with touch at the same time with Flashify wasn't sure if i needed to flash both for touch to work or just CWM Touch)
Please inform me with the correct produces to follow or link me to a solution. Side note this is my first time with an Android device and my first Smartphone so I'm kinda new to this rooting roms, kernal, thing. Thank you in advance to anyone that can help. Feel free to message me through XDA. Thanks.

loki is a bypass for the bootloader so we can install custom roms, recoveries, kernels
I wondered if we can install zip files using flashify onto rooted Stock G2 KitKat but it asks which custom recovery I am using. Since we don't have a working custom recovery for KitKat yet. . .
Is it perhaps possible to 1. backup stock recovery using flashify, 2. turn the backup into a recovery.zip, 3. flash a new custom recovery using Goo, 4. boot into custom recovery, 5. flash desired zip, 6. flash backed up recovery.zip, 7. reboot back into stock OS?
EDIT - I may have over thought this, maybe a file manager with root access would be easier.
No. No. No. And no. There is no recovery on kit Kat did you cannot flash anything... yet

according to one of the many threads of creating a recovery or rooting g2 4.4.2 I read that flashify does not work(not sure don't remember, something related to this) also another thing to note is the new bootloader checks the recovery and unless it's 100% stock it will just boot you into fastboot mode(where you can soehow reflash the stock one again so it can boot normally) something around those lines so as to your second question I think not but as I'm not a dev I maybe wrong

Thanks for the quick responses
Sigh. . Yeah I thought of that as soon as I posted that the boot loader is the problem making a boot into custom recovery impossible on the KitKat boot loader.
For what it's worth I tried flashing a .zip with flashify and let it think I had CWM installed. I did NOT flash a custom recovery though and when rebooted it just reboots as normal with nothing flashed.
I used FreeGee to try to install a custom recovery after root. First TWRP, stuck at performing action. Then CWM. Then the older CWM. Always stuck at performing action. The old CWM worked. Reboot to recovery and get security boot error. Looked around on forums and found a CWM batch install that everyone says works for them. Still recovery boot error. Anyone know what's up? I'm on AT&T D800. Rooted by ioroot25
Also RomManager says I have both recoveries installed. Thinking this might be the issue. How do I delete one or both and get on the right track?
I think I have the same problem. Could u solve the problem?

no you can't get recovery on kk because they patched our recovery/loki exploit on kk bootloader

Safest way is to go back to stock 4.2.2 first, then root with IOroot then install recovery.lok

Thanks again for quick help however I have checked the downgrade process and its too long plus I have to download stock 4.2.2 firmware which is 1GB plus in size..
So is there no easy method to install recovery on already rooted stock 4.4.2 firmware?

No, no easy one, and some might even say none at all, but you can read the rooting thread where they discuss recovery as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887
Hello,
I've rooted my phone but I cannot get twrp to work, I tried it through flashify with version 2.7.0 and on reboot it comes up with a security error message then I need to reboot and it'll start as normal
I downloaded ota update yesterday and it rooted fine after the update but refueses to install twrp, I also can't boot into stock recovery at all - I read update from LG has stopped this from working.
I rooted my HTC one m7 before which was a lot more difficult but I can't seem to get a custom recovery going on the LG g2 802 UK version
Edit: I Got into standard recovery for the hard reset using volume up and down, I've just read the new kit Kat update will not allow custom recovery is this correct ? So now I'm rooted thanks to chainfire, I'd still like custom recovery though
Why don't you use AutoRec ?
What's that ? I had cwm on my HTC one m7.
I've followed all the online instructions to install twrp but my phone doesn't like it and it throughs up a small error but luckily didn't harm the phone. It appears that after the update it won't let me install any recovery. I'm worried if I try cwm on the g2 it'll brick it or I'll need to hard reset
Edit : I read up about autorec, so is it a case that the new kit Kat update won't let me install a custom recovery ? If so I'm in no rush and can wait for some clever dev to fix this
After you've installed the rom it is 'safe' to install autorec apk on it , and you'll have custom recovery .

It wasn't a custom Rom it was the ota uodate, is autorec just like twrp? I tried using twrp and flashify with no success .
To be honest I like the new kit Kat but I like custom recovery, when I rooted it actually booted into what looked like a custom recovery
AutoRec will just install twrp to your device. Read through posts for more informations.
Thanks, I'll read more into it.
Rooting this phone was simple, just annoying the custom recover hasn't been so simple.
Do yous recommend sticking with the new kk Rom or is there something better out
Edit: thanks 007, autorec worked perfectly and surprisingly easy compared my past devices .
Thanks again for taking the time to reply
answering is the purpose of the forum m8 :highfive:
I might try cyanogenMod, I really like this knew knock password thing with the new update though, CyanogenMod seems the most popular so it must be best
Verizon LG G2
Rooted
Installed TWRP
Without thinking (doink) tried to install the latest OTA.
OTA failed.
Now I cannot reboot into TWRP.
Installed ClockwordMOD and installed its own custom recovery. Still won't boot into any custom recovery.
Phone works fine other than that.
How can I get back into custom reccovery?
Note: When I turn phone off and try to reboot into custom recovery it takes me to the "reset" screen.. and then IT RESETS the phone.
When I try to boot into recovery from Clockwork or TWRP app it gives me the android robot with the open tummy and red triangle.

The OTA update installed the KitKat bootloader, which hasn't been hacked for custom recovery yet.
Use this to downgrade the only the bootloader and install custom recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
You have to root frist. You can use IORoot25 to root the KitKat rom that you have now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232

Ok.
The KITKAT rom didn't install properly..
Phone says 4.2.2
Super user and apps that need root to work are working properly. Looks like the bootloader is the only thing that got hit.

Oh. Not sure if AutoRec works if you are still on 4.2.2. Sorry bout that.
If it doesn't work, you can always just manually flash the complete firmware using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476. Surest way to get back from failed flashes. You can flash the full 4.2.2 or 4.4.2 KDZ and then start over again. That method wipes everything though.

YIKES.
Well.. it got the TWRP recovery loaded alright.
But it won't boot into anything else...light is flashing but screen is black.
HELP
I am screwed here.
#1. Tried the "unbrick stock" solution. Can NOT get it to work. I tried it all 3 ways given and it gets to the LG driver start... and then it says I am up to date. I tried to change the country, the language, upgrade recovery, can NOT get it to work.
#2. I can get TWRP to load. But I can't get my computer to recognize my phone so I can move a rom over
#3. I can't get ADB to recognize my phone.
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP

save yourself the hassle flash stock 4.4.2 KK, use IORoot25 to root and then use Autorec to install Custom recovery.
Time needed 1 hour.
