Unrooted, can't reroot, corrupted recovery on 4.4.2

Hi all,
I have put myself/phone in an interesting situation, which I am hoping the community can help me with.
I recently bought an LG G2, dold with stock 4.4.2. I proceeded to root it, and tried installing custom recovery.
I first installed ROM manager, which didnt work.
I then tried flashing twrp through adb using loki, which gave me a 'this is not a loki file' error.
I eventually realized that they had closed the Loki loophole in stock 4.4.2.
At this point, trying to enter recovery wouls give me a 'secure booting failed' error, making me have to reboot the phone again.
I then unrooted my phone, and factory reset it. I realized Clockworkmod recovery (which ROM manager installed) persisted despite the data wipe, so I unchecked that option in ROM manager and wiped it again.
My thinking was that I vould now downgrade to 4.2.2, install custom recovery there, then flash 4.4.2 whitout losing root or recovery.
Problem: I can't do any of this, because I can't reroot my phone with ioroot25. It fails as when it reboots inti recovery it gives me the 'secure booting failed' error.
Thanks for any help. I simply want to root my phone and if possible, have a functional recovery in order for me to flash some mods. At least being able to have it rooted again would be sweet.

Hehh...
Last thing you can do is try to flash with LG Flash Tools Method or LG Support Tool

Flash stock recovery either via fastboot / or dd(on linux). Then you can proceed further.
Or ^ kdz via download mode.

I have a similar problem. I restored the stock recovery via adb using a dd command. Then I unrooted in order to accept the latest OTA. The OTA fails with a "suspected root" error. Download mode still has "ROOTED" in red letters. At this point I gave up on the OTA and wanted to get back to where I was.
IOROOT25 doesn't work because when the phone reboots to recovery mode, I get the broken android with the red triangle but nothing else on the screen at all. There are no options, nothing. Eventually it reboots. I've done a factory reset to no avail. Recovery seems corrupted.
I need instructions for flashing the stock recovery with no root.

I managed to get my recovery rewritten using the LG Mobile Support Tool on a different computer. Then I was able to root again using ioroot25. I'm not sure why I couldn't run on my own laptop, but it's fixed now.

Can't install custom roms, security error problem.

Hi, I have LG G2 F320S. I have a problem which does not let me flash custom roms via twrp because of security error i get. Im back to stock lollipop now,but i want to install custom rom. I think the real problem is with my twrp, I installed it via autorec and I think that's the issue. I don't even need to try to install custom rom, I install twrp via autorec,then turn my phone to recovery mode and I try to boot my phone again and it says security error,then I flash stock rom and it will happen for me again and again. Can you guys help me find working twrp that doesn't get me a security error. Maybe it's the lollipops boot stack that's getting me this error,maybe i need to downgrade to kitkat and then flash twrp on kk boot stack? thanks for your help.

Phones boots into recovery every single time after flashing. [SM-A500F]

Hi guys, I faced some trouble while installing xposed with my galaxy A500F.
Here are the problem, my phone keep on boot into recovery (twrp) when i flashed any zip files except the root file recommended by this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-a52015-sm-a500f-t3360802 .
I have tried other TWRP and Cynogen Recovery which is still the same. This one from the link which at least let me boot into normal.
The only method for me to boot into normal is to flash to the stock firmware via odin which then I need to reroot, reinstall twrp and try to figure out is there any other method with.
Restoring backup are not working as well for twrp which still boot back to the recovery. Some flash files, which event better ( this refer to the deodex http://forum.xda-developers.com/sam...nt/deodex-deodexed-samsung-galaxy-a5-t3232134 ) which stuck in that samsung loding screen while booting.
Any help would be thankful

Hello:
- First, TWRP to use and it is the only one that does not give me trouble installing ROMs Marshmallow (as Resurrection Remix, AICP or CM13) is the v3.0.0.1 of mygalaxya (download here). Steps for install: here
- Second, if you are in ROM Stock 5.0.2 and just want TWRP to install Xposed, I recommend using the v2.8.7 (here) does not give problems at all, although no use to install ROMs Marshmallow.
- Third, it is not necessary deodex the ROM to install Xposed, since there is a modified version of Xposed that works perfectly both as Deodex and Odex ROMs, you can download it from here.
If after using TWRP 3.0.0.1 (or higher) and enters Recovery restart always, I recommend the v2.8.7 flash on it for a normal boot.
I hope the information is usefull. :good:

Issue with going back to stock ROM

Hey guys,
I was messing around a bit with rooting and flashing new ROM for my OP5. Now I want to go back to stock but I am having troubles flashing OTA using adb -it ends on 47% with information that update failed. I've tried it with newest beta and stable OTA downloaded from OnePlus webpage. In ntock recovery I am unable to select "install from storage" option -no reaction on touch or power button selection. My phone is unlocked and right now I've got stock recovery flashed. Before adb I've tried flashing it using twrp but it ended up with error code 25.
Any suggestions how to make OTA work? Right now I am stuck with newest xxxNolimits ROM without root permissions (not sure why) and with stock recovery.
Thanks and cheers!

Had this problem as well, if you are coming from a custom ROM, sideloading won't work, you have to flash it via TWRP

Phone going into recovery after trying to update the rom?

So I've got a little problem with my Redmi Note 7 - I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the TWRP recovery via fastboot and flashed Magisk v19.3 to root it.
Everything works fine but when I try to download and install the official rom updates the phone just boots to recovery and after restart it says that the update wasn't successful.
Any way to fix it?

When you unlock the bootloader it no longer makes automatic updates. You need to download the update and install manually via TWRP or OrangeFox in case of error.
