your going to have to flash CWM, also what rom are you on? it sounds like your aboot image is not right

4.4 Roms can not be flashed using 2.6.3.2 you need to find a version of 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 for your device.

Hi.. First step is to follow step by step th is guide i link to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46204640
If u succes to install stock Rom.. Then u re root and install unofficial cwm, Can be found in ur devices forum.
Then download/transfer The cm rom u wanted, and GAapps IF needed... Just remember to read install instructions and follow them. And do a backup before installing cm rom

2.6.3.3 and .4 typically come in a flashable zip. You flash it in twrp like you would a ROM and it updates it.
If you do not have a ROM downloaded you can use to get back to a ROM to download side zip file, then you should check the thread on here (that you should have originally used to get your recovery image to flash on your phone.)
And follow the directions on there how to push it using adb. Once that's done you should be able to flash normally.

Update? Please reply if it worked for you.. And i would recommend u to use CWM, because alot of people, experience problems using twrp including myself..

TWRP fails to flash rom

I was running the CM 10.2 Stable on my LG G2. I downloaded the CM 11 snapshot and 4.4 gapps in my phone.
Then went to TWRP recovery and wiped the dalvic, cache, data and system. Then went forward to install and selected the CM11 rom and gapps zip files. The flashing starts but it fails after about 10 seconds.
Here is the log:

It looks a bit like a bad download. Did you check MD5 after downloading?

OK i found out hoe to check MD5. Yes it matches. So no error in the download.

TWRP 2.6.3.2 can't flash 4.4 ROMS. You need to update to 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 for that. You should be able to search to find a link, because I don't think there's a dedicated topic to anything above 2.6.3.2.

The thing is i am stuck at TWRP as I wiped the davic, cache, system and data. Can i install the Latest version from the TRWP recovery itself?
If YES then how can i copy the latest version files into my phone?
If NO then what should i do? I am stuck in the TWRP after all.

Do you have a backup? I would think the easiest way would be to restore and then download and flash.
Or just flash an old ROM if you have one on the phone.
I'm not too experienced otherwise, but i think download mode would work? I haven't actually used that before though.

I think you have two choices.
1. flash back the CM10.2 and start from there
2. flash new recovery image via adb then flash new firmware

Unfortunately i dont have anything other than the CM11 file in my phone's memory.
Any idea how i can copy files from my PC to phone while stuck in recovery mode?

Do you have any experience with ADB? As Votinh brought up, you can push the new recovery image over through the shell on the computer. There's tutorials for pushing a recovery through ADB on here somewhere also.

I used the adb when I first installed the custom recovery. I followed forum instructions/you tube video to do that. They require the phone to be in a working state. But as my phone now can only go to the currently installed recovery (TWRP). I am not sure how to do anything that needs to be done.
Please help me

How do I copy files to my internal storage when my phone is stuck in recovery mode? When i connect my phone to PC the PC does not recognize it.
So how can i copy any files either a new custom recovery or an older rom?

Ok i have managed to do the stuffs and can now copy files to my phone. My installed TWRP version is 2.3.6.2. I downloaded the 2.3.6.3 and tried installing it from recovery but it shows some error. Could anyone give me a file of recovery that can be used? either TWRP or CWM.
Thank you

You don't have to flash a new recovery with adb. Just find the image file for your phone then download an app called flashify. It takes less than a sec to flash then your done.

[Q] Trouble installing kitkat roms on D802, help?

Hi,
I've recently installed cwm 6.0.4.4 on my LG G2. It installed pretty flawlessly, and I can flash pretty much any custom ROM... Except the ones running 4.4 or higher. I flashed CM 10.2 and it runs well, but when I try to install CM11, or any other kitkat rom I get this error:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error in /data/media/0/[Insert name of rom here]
(status 7)
Installation aborted
I get the same error every time, no matter what 4.4 rom I try to flash.
I also tried TWRP (whatever the latest version is) and I also get an error.
Any idea how to fix this frustrating issue?
Thanks

Try redownloading the ROM or a different ROM sounds like a bad download I can't help you much because I have the verizon variant but try doing that and it sounds like you can restore backups so prob just a bad download
I Am NoT responsible for any bricks when you root flash or anything like that hope you get it working

TWRP 2.6.3.2 isn't the latest release, so that might be your problem. Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469995 flash the new zip from your current TWRP, and you should be able to flash KitKat ROMs now. Or, if you prefer CWM, there's PhilZ Touch CWM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554053

This guy had a similar issue. I would say try installing PhilZ Touch CWM for the 802.
Maybe try TWRP.
Its gotta be the recovery.
Sorry I have a VS980, I honestly have issues with TWRP and use the recovery you have.
You could use flashify direct from your device if you hunt down the .IMG.
Give it a shot. BTW not my problem it you brick your phone... I will however try to help you get back up and running.
