[Q] D801 4.2.2G stock recovery?

I'm looking to restore the stock recovery for tmo 4.2.2G and take the kk OTA and remain rooted. I first need to get back to stock recovery but I can't seem to find one. Anyone know where I can find it?

the only way to go back to stock recovery is to go back to stock but you can also follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2673736 which will allow you to have root and custom recovery

Hi Guys, I have read some topics about downgrading, but im not fully understanding if this is only for people who is already rooted or if this will work for a non rooted device. In my case i have an At&t Lg G2 not rooted with 4.4.2 kitkat and wanted to revert to 4.2 so i can root and then flash a rooted stock 4.4.2 kitkat. Is it possible to do that, even if i was never rooted? I do understand there's no root for kitkat as of now.
Thanks guys.

[Q] NooB!!! what is required to install custom rom?

I just received LG G2 802, came with 4.4.2 installed. Now I would like to install a custom rom. What are the procedures should I follow? I know there are many threads around but I am getting confused which come first sequentially, i.e. boot loader unlocking, root, custom rom. Can anyone clarify a bit please?

Its pretty easy now.
First root with towel root
Then use autorec to flash recovery
Then you can your ROM

Many thanks
Thats easy steps.

will this work on the verizon vs980? I'm updating to 24a since i bricked it last night. I forgot what root tool I used but I know I used autorec and it messed up my phone.

I know towel root is universal and autorec has a Verizon version. If it messed up your phone, I wouldn't repeat the same thing though, that would be insanity :silly:

I am not a smart man... :silly:
I thought I downloaded the wrong autorec since it didnt have vs980 in it but same thing happened. it installed twrp but destroyed my system partition. LUCKLY I did the smarter thing and made a back up. after some fussing with twrp (making a back up and moving my old back up to the right location) I am back up and running!
:victory:
quick edit: ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO BACK UP AND STORE IT ON YOUR PHONE!

how?
towelroot then autorec. then flash rom zip.

installing twrp

I have my tmobile d801 running lollipop 5.0.2 rooted with twrp installed. Now that ive discovered that there are no roms for lollipop im going to downgrade to original firmware that runs 4.4.2 so i can try out some of the roms that have been developed. Ive found a way to root, though i cannot find a guide to install twrp, all the guides seem to have twrp for a different model of lg g2.
What version of twrp do i need and how can i flash it for the d801?

Go to the Play Store and search for AutoRec for your D801 for lollipop and install and your good to go as long as your rooted.

doesn't that contradict what firmware is going to be on the phone? im on lollipop 5.0.2 now, i think the original is 4.4.2 if i downgrade by using the lg toolkit. does autorec work for d801 work for kitkat? confusion here. At this point being rooted and twrp on lollipop, im not able to install any of the roms that have been made for 4.4.2.
Can you make it clear to me?

If you`re on 5.0.2 lollipop then you need to install autorec from play store to get twrp installed but you must be rooted in order for it to work.If your trying to downgrade back to kit kat then I think you don`t have to be rooted or have twrp installed at all in your flashing to stock kit kat rom.
If your trying to return to stock kit kat read here.

If you just need twrp recovery then download Autorec for D801 for Lollipop in the Play Store.

You are misunderstanding. I am using a Tmobile d801 on lollipop that is rooted and twrp installed. There are no custom roms.
I want to revert to 4.4.2, so that i can use custom roms, so the autorec for lollipop would do me no good to root and install twrp.
What would i need to do to root and get twrp installed on 4.4.2? i know how to go back to stock, but im going back to stock rom because i want to root and install twrp. What you are telling me is to use the autorec for lollipop...which ive already done. im rooted and twrp installed on lollipop, but i want to downgrade and need to know how to install twrp on 4.4.2

That's because the phone is not rooted.Maybe try LG one click root.If the phone didn't reboot and you see android updating then it's probably not rooted.

You need to turn on developers mode and follow the instructions carefully.When it asks you go in download mode and you get stuck at 90% just wait about a minute and then hold power down and let phone reboot.Let me know if you need full instructions.

If that didn't work.This is what I used on my phone.I just remembered.

That didn't work on my T-Mobile G2 D801 ("Device is patched, sorry"). In fact I've tried Purple Drake, ioroot, StumpRoot, LGOneClickRoot. None of these work. I wonder what's different with your G2 that allows StumpRoot (or any other rooting) to succeed. I'm contemplating a downgrade all the way to KK 4.2.2 as both LP 5.0 and KK 4.4.2 seem impervious to rooting.

I downgraded my phone back to Kit Kat on a D800 and rooted Kit Kat stock Rom just today with StumpRoot.If you are on stock Kit Kat Rom it should.If you install the StumpRoot apk on your phone and let it did it thing and when ask to reboot phone after reboot it should reboot on its on once more and then your rooted.Supernova will not show up in app drawer but you should be rooted.Just work for me.I think because you don't see it in app drawer you think it's not rooted.They're apps in Play Store to check.

No, I always use a root checker to get root status. It seems we're comparing apples & oranges - we have a different phone and different versions of Android. But thanks for trying to help.

StumpRoot should work on all variations of the LG G2 but only on Kit Kat not Lolilpop.

Now it seems that the lack of people concerned about this issue. G2's other models are not updated or do not have this problem?

wouldn't tot to zve, manually updating to zvg/zvh and then rooting again work? If there is no root on zvi and you need it, downgrading to an older version looks to be the only option.

I am also stuck on ZVI and I want to root, flash TWRP, and run custom roms.
I have not seen any guides to do this that don't require root already. Many thanks will be given if you know of a way to downgrade the version on a stock phone. I have fasboot/ADB up and running I can easily flash something just let me know how or what.

to restore back the ZVE version (the last KK version) and OTA to ZVG (LP), then root, at your own risk.

Zvg and zvh root and install twrp with no problems using the lg one click root and autorec apk. If you want to install custom roms, stop at zvh and root. Don't go to zvi.
