Thanks for your response bro but as the instructions here https://twrp.me/devices/lgg2.html
state I must be already using version 2.8.4 in order to follow the update process. As I said I am currently running 2.7 so I suppose I can't just flash the newer version..

Upgrading TWRP and Root Problem

So basicly I just want to upgrade my TWRP version (from 2.6.3.2 to 2.6.3.3+) in order to flash new kitkat roms.
But I have 2 issues:
1) I have rooted my device and installed TWRP 2.6.3.2 on my LG stock rom, then I wanted to change rom, so I wiped all but internal storage and flashed Beanstalk 4.4.2 + GAPPS. Now it looks like there's a problem with my root access (root checker says that there is a problem and superSU won't install binary updates). Recovery works fine. Do I need to root my phone again or what? Can I just do these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887 all over again?
Edit: Ok, After flashing http://download.chainfire.eu/376/SuperSU/, I just needed to deativate supersu and reactivate it. Now it works just fine!
2) I wanted to upgrade my TWRP using FreeGee, but it looks like the app couldn't load without root access (Issue 1). So can I upgrade it with just doing these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 all over again?
Sorry for the long questions.
Thanks

[Q] can i flash twrp on top of the clean android 5.0?

Sorry for my English in advance
I have the note 3 and when the new Lollipop version was leaked i flashed it on my device, but i lost root and my old recovery (TWRP).
Now, I'm not sure how to get the TWRP recovery back.
Can i just download a new version of TWRP and flash it?
Cheers.
Just follow the TWRP instructions.

Can I install TWRP using CWM ? Old 5.1 Sensation rom currently installed

Hi , I am thinking of upgrading to [ROM/6.0] Androium VUI 1 , but I assume I need to install twrp as [ROM/6.0] Androium VUI 1 is not installable with CWM
BUT my big question , can I simply download TWRP to my SDcard , run CWM and then install TWRP ?
Also can someone post a working link to a suitable CWM installable version of TWRP pls.
If so would that affect my currently installed 5.1 android rom ?
TYI
I used flashify from play store to change my recovery I downloaded twrp to SD and flashify does the rest

Cannot install Android 7.1 (Jiayu S3 MT6752)

Hello,
I tried to install the new Nougat rom for jiayu S3, but it was unsuccessful. Phone got soft bricked, but I recovered it with a twrp backup.
My OS is android 4.4.4, and TRWP is 2.8. After installing the new rom , an installation error appeared and phone did not work.
I wonder it it's due to twrp 2.8, but I can't install twrp 3 (S3_h560_TWRP_3.0.2-0). There was an installation error with flashify...
The question is: can I install 7.0 from 4.4? Is it an Android problem, a TWRP issue, or just my clumsiness?
Thank you!

in short:
To go from 4.4.4 to Nougat you need to go via LP RC5 via flashify using firmware upgrade.
This is because the partition layout is different from KK to LP onwards.
Then you can flash Nougat using TWRP (which will be version 3)
Thank you very much for your answer.
Please forgive me for my ignorance but, which LP ROM should I download? Can I install it via flashify, via TWRP 2.8, o flash?
Thank you again!
You can not use Flashify, you have to do it using Flashtools (with a PC) to go from KK to LP. Download LP 5.1.1 RC 5 from MAD.

thanks to correct me, I thought Flashtools was meant
Well, I'm in trouble now... I installed successfully 5.1 in my S3, but when updated twrp 2.8 to 3.0, it did not work, so I can't install Nougat...
Now I have no twrp, and no root. How can I root to install twrp? I can't install superSU neither....
I'm sorry if it has been already answered but I can't find it.
Thanks a lot
I re-installed LP with Flash tools and everything worked right. (In twrp , it says 2.8 version, instead of 3.0, though).
Now I installed Nougat, and everything is ok.
Thank you for your excellent job!
