ioroot 25 Failing to root VS980 after ADB detects device - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title says. I am trying to use ioroot25 and when I get to the recovery stage to push from adb, the iroot .bat says,
"error: device not found"
This is confusing me because each time I try to do this, I open up a separate cmd window and do "adb devices" and it tells me that my phone is connected. Not to mention that when adb DOES NOT detect my device, I can't even get to this step of ioroot.
All of this comes from me having numerous issues with CM11 (after installing from Malladus 2.0.3, had TWRP as recovery), so I decided to wipe clean and start over again. I used the LG Flash tool and flashed the correct Verizon 24a_11.kdz. Then I tried to root after checking the device was operational and adb couldn't find my device. I then did a factory reset through the phone as the restored version was acting a bit goofy, and this is where I'm at now.

Install Fail, Sideload not working - CM 11 - 12.12 - CWM

Hey guys,
i'm really sorry to bother you, i'm normally not the type of guy who jumps to "help me" real quick. However, since there doesnt seem to be anyone else with my Problem, and i couldt fix it by reading stuff myself, here i go.
Basically, i started off with a brand new internat. G2, D802. I didnt accept any OTAS.
I rooted it with ioroot, no problem. Afterwards, i installed CWM 6.0.4.4. Semi-touch as described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468858. Still no problem. Everything booted fine, no bootsloops, no nothing. Perfect so far.
Made a Nanondroid, saved my EFS. Backed it up. So far so good.
Then, i dl´ed the newest CM 11 Nightly, 12.12.2013. I went into Recovery, and did FactReset -> Format Sys -> Wipe Cache -> Wipe Dalvik
When i tried to install CM, a "status 7 error" was returned, i can give the complete message any time. Maybe i hit a corrupt download, idk.
Well, under "mount storage", connect an usb storage didnt work, so i guess i´m stuck with sideload.
I read some tutorials, and when showing the devices with my phone being in recovery, it shows "XXXXXX (some number, guess my mac-adress), recovery". SO i guess thats fine.
I then enabled "install zip via sideload" in cwm, and did "adb sideload /PATH/NEWLYDOWNLOADEDROM.ZIP". Wont work, all it returns is the list of commands.
Doing "adb push /PATH/ROM.ZIP /sdcard/XXX" does seem to copy something, however, when accessing that folder, it says theres no zip there.
i'm kind of at a loss now. Entering CWM works without fail, but how to proceed? I still have the Nandroid on my phone to resort to, but well, id rather get stuff working.
Thanks for help guys. All your hard work is appreciated.
Well, i managed to push stuff to my phone successfully now, still that error: set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed.
Googling stuff returns that it seems to be an error with CWM. However, i am still using the latest version. Even so, how do i up/downgrade (maybe offical version) in cwm itself? Or do i have to use a 3rd party programm.
how were you able to push to the phone? I cant get ADB to read my phone through twrp
Owell, ended up fixing stuff myself.
What i did was:
Download an the official CWM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468858.
Then go to where your adb stuff on your pc is, shift+right click -> open command prompt here. Connect your phone to the pc via usb cable, while beeing i recovery (i guess cwm or twrp shouldnt matter).
In Cmd, do:
adb kill-server
adb start-sever
adb devices
that should bring up something like [Some Number, your phones mac-address] recovery
all the while, do not start "install zip via sideload" in your recovery. I did not need that at all.
in your command prompt, type:
adb push PATH_TO_YOUR_DOWNLOADED_RECOVERY/WHATEVER_ITS_NAME_IS.zip /sdcard/WHATEVER_ITS_NAME_IS.zip
it will copy the recovery to your /sdcard-folder.
Type "adb kill-server" and unplug phone (did it just to be sure, idk if its necessary)
In your recovery, just install the downloaded .zip-recovery, and under "advanced" do reboot recovery.
It left me with a touch version of cwm 6.0.4.4, the same version number as before. However, this time installing the latest cm-11 nightly worked just fine.
Idk if the unofficial one is bugged, but best someone post that in the cwm-recovery thread. I cant, since my post are not over 9000.
Hope it helps.
im having this issue on my VZW LG G2. Im stuck in CWM getting Status 7 abortions when trying to flash cm 10.2. Rooted with io. I was on OTA 12B and looking for a fix.
Fixed it myself, thanks.

[Q] How to start ADB sideload feature on TWRP?

well,
I have a LG G2 d805/802 with TWRP recovery. I just wipe all data, internal storage, EVERYTHING...
I read a lot about ADB sideload, but it just don't start on phone (starting adb sideload feature...), but windows can recognize my device normally.
When I sideload the ROM.zip nothing happens. I think I have to make the feature starts.
Other way is to try flash from OTG, but my TWRP 2.6.3.2 just don't recognized my otg-memory.
Any ideias for what I supposed to do?
note: I think my device is not rooted.
1. If you device is not rooted, how could you get custom recovery on your device?
2. I don't think "sideload" is an universal adb command, meaning it supported on some devices and some others don't.
3. If "sideload" doesn't work in your case, why not just push the .zip file over and flash it using custom recovery?

I gave sideload a good effort last week for a couple hours on Verizon G2 VS980 after doing the same thing you did. Eventually, I gave up and just did an adb push command to copy the file to my phone and then installed it using twrp as votinh suggests.
SOLVED
I realized the phone will never actually start the adb sideload feature. so, when i put the "abd sideload file.zip" command i just wait. it take a few minutes to start the process.

TWRP wont start ADB sideload

Hi folks!
I wanted to install Cyanogenmod as described in Cyanogenmod Wiki.
So I downloaded ioroot, rootet my phone via adb and used AutoRec to install TWRP (version 2.7.0.0).
Then I rebooted into recovery mode, wiped EVERYTHING and wanted to sideload the CM image via adb.
So in TWRP I selected Advanced/ADB Sideload and swipe to start sideload but all that happens is the notification "Starting ADB sideload feature...".
Consequently the phone is not recognized by adb on my PC.
What can I do to make the sideload feature work?
BTW: TWRP tells me that my devices doesnt appear to be rooted when I want to leave TWRP (reboot). Moreover when i want to enter TWRP again (by pressing POWER + VOLUE DOWN) I first get a screen that asks me if want to do a factory hard reset! Only if I agree (by pressing the power key) I get into TWRP.
Contrary when I enter the Download Mode (VOLUME UP when when connecting the powered off phone to the USB port) I am told that the phone is rooted. Moreover the LG Mobile Support Tool is able to detect the device and tells me that the installed software is up to date.
Thx!!
have you tried typing 'adb sideload rom.zip' on a command window on your pc? name the rom, rom.zip, and have it your adb folder.. also type the command from that folder
Make sure you're in the proper folder in prompt and the device name will be sideload if you do, adb devices.

Thanks but this doesnt help either. Same error message "error: device not found"
boot into twrp, don't start sideload
try adb devices, if you get not find you need to change the usb drivers
when you have it working, type, adb push /sdcard/ rom.zip .. check the syntax on that command, but i think that's right from memory

trouble with adb

So first off i have sdk tools installed as well as the motorola phone drivers. The trouble im having is when trying to root my phone i cant seem to flash twrp in adb. With the phone powered on i type "adb devices" and see my phone listed from there i type "adb reboot bootloader" the phone boots to the bootloader then adb can not seem to find my phone when trying to flash twrp. Not sure what happened it was working fine couple weeks ago and now all the sudden it does not want to work. I have tried reinstalling sdk tools and motorola drivers and has not seemed to work.
figured it out delete this post!

(solved) LG G2 D802 always boots into recovery and is not recognized as fastboot

Hi,
I have installed many custom OSs on my D802, but this time I am stuck.
The phone always boots to recovery (TWRP 3.3.0.0).
I am trying to install any OS (ideally LineageOS 16) but I am unable.
What I have tried:
1) Copied the lineage-16.0-xxxxxx-nightly-d802-signed.zip to the internal card and installed it from there. All completes well but phone still boots into recovery
2) Tried to install it with ADB and Fastboot:
- ADB devices sees it as '09824281 Recovery'.
- When I boot into bootloader, fastboot devices does not see it at all (even though I have installed the USB drivers)
3) Tried to use ADB SideLoad, but the installation of lineageOS-xxxxxx.zip fails after 3%
Can you please assist?
Thanks in advance
Fixed!!!!
I found a thread that helped:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/help/recovery-bootloop-ota-update-to-nightly-t3555149
It consisted of typing a command in the TWRP terminal.
