[Q] i cant flash any roms. help! - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ive had the AT&T d800 for a year and a half now. i used ioroot to root the phone, and autorec to have a custom recovery. whenever i try to flash a rom, it always fails without doing anything. i dont want to go through the trouble to revert the phone back to stock jelly bean just so i can flash roms again. how can i flash roms without fully restoring my phone back to jelly bean?
Current Version
Android: 4.4.2 Kitkat
ROM version: Stock D80020k
TWRP: 2.7.0.0
tired of stock always being buggy...

Did you heard of autorec? It restores jellybean bootloader which allows you to flash roms which still uses the old loki method without the need to restore back to antthing else. Btw I also suggest to update recovery. If you do autorec, choose the right version for your model.

Yes just flashed the bumped recovery. If you would ever upgrade to the kk bootloader for some reason like custom lp stock roms then you have to have an bumped recovery else you will get an lg security error

D803 newest recovery? Or CWM?

I can't seem to flash any 4.4.2 roms because I have the old 6.0.3.2 twrp and there is no twrp for the D803 model.
I've been flashing flex roms and such and all work fine but the new roms give me the "failed to flash binary" error.
Anyone with a Canadian variant that knows what I can do? Should I move to the CWM recovery instead?
Thanks in advance.

have you guys tried freegee from the playstore?
I think that might have been how I installed twrp originally. Thanks

Why don't you use philz recovery.
It uses the new binary zips by default and has an option to allow the use of the old binary.

How does one even install CWM?
I've been stuck on TWRP 2.6.3.2 for a bit. I tried to install CWM via loki but that failed, because CWM is not lokified. Then I tried the dd method, and that just bricked recovery, and I had to flash stock firmware to get recovery back.

Root for 4.4.2

So is any of the devs. Working on a root for 4.4.2.

You can root the stock KK ROM, but you just can't have a custom recovery. Although the T-Mobile one has a rooted stock KK ROM with custom recovery available if you follow the directions.
Don't know about other variants.

What I did was I KDZ'd back to 4.2.2, then I rooted that and flashed a custom recovery. With that custom recovery I flashed T-Mobile's official 4.4.2 KK ROM and then flashed SuperU to achieve root on that ROM.
So now I'm running the official TMO KK ROM with root. I have no idea if that same process will work with your phone though since it's a D800, mine is D801. But I would assume it's the same process. Get the KDZ image of the D801 4.2.2 ROM, then you root that and flash TWRP recovery. Then you use that to flash the official KK ROM with SuperU.
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
Use Method 2! That's what worked for me and others. Good luck dude.

Why you will get the 4.4 KK Stockrom. You can use some of the KK custom Roms like Pardus or AICP Rom

I've decided to unroot, do i have to do that fix before i install a recovery (Cwm or Twrp)?
From my understanding you have to be rooted to place a recovery on your device (Cwm or Twrp)...

you unroot by flashing the stock Odin file, or using your root method to unroot.
there is no recovery available. safestrap is our wonderfully built recovery alternative due to a locked bootloader on the 900v. do not try and flash cwm or twrp.

Do you have stock or custom recovery? If you have custom recovery it wont update. If you have stock recovery do a factory reset and it will probably be able to pick up the update afterward.
