[Q] Instaling Recovery

I have a rooted D802 and I wanted to install recovery. I'd surf and search and tried a few solutions but without success. Everytime It stuck on boot and black screen with some error message about bootloader. I've tried TWRP and Philz, nothing. I have KK D80220B_00 (A6HUBK).
How can I install custom recovery?

This tool downgrade KK bootloader and install patched kernel because KK bootloader can't be lokifiable and KK kernel can't boot on JB bootloader. And that's why you couldn't install a recovery.

Had the same pb. Ended up using autorec app.
I will advise to read the thread first. Some people experienced issue while doing it. I didn't, what I did is I downloaded paranoid android and flashed as soon as I used the app.
I have a D803 but it should be similar.

Lost TWRP

Verizon LG G2
Rooted
Installed TWRP
Without thinking (doink) tried to install the latest OTA.
OTA failed.
Now I cannot reboot into TWRP.
Installed ClockwordMOD and installed its own custom recovery. Still won't boot into any custom recovery.
Phone works fine other than that.
How can I get back into custom reccovery?
Note: When I turn phone off and try to reboot into custom recovery it takes me to the "reset" screen.. and then IT RESETS the phone.
When I try to boot into recovery from Clockwork or TWRP app it gives me the android robot with the open tummy and red triangle.

The OTA update installed the KitKat bootloader, which hasn't been hacked for custom recovery yet.
Use this to downgrade the only the bootloader and install custom recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
You have to root frist. You can use IORoot25 to root the KitKat rom that you have now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232

Ok.
The KITKAT rom didn't install properly..
Phone says 4.2.2
Super user and apps that need root to work are working properly. Looks like the bootloader is the only thing that got hit.

Oh. Not sure if AutoRec works if you are still on 4.2.2. Sorry bout that.
If it doesn't work, you can always just manually flash the complete firmware using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476. Surest way to get back from failed flashes. You can flash the full 4.2.2 or 4.4.2 KDZ and then start over again. That method wipes everything though.

YIKES.
Well.. it got the TWRP recovery loaded alright.
But it won't boot into anything else...light is flashing but screen is black.

HELP
I am screwed here.
#1. Tried the "unbrick stock" solution. Can NOT get it to work. I tried it all 3 ways given and it gets to the LG driver start... and then it says I am up to date. I tried to change the country, the language, upgrade recovery, can NOT get it to work.
#2. I can get TWRP to load. But I can't get my computer to recognize my phone so I can move a rom over
#3. I can't get ADB to recognize my phone.
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP

save yourself the hassle flash stock 4.4.2 KK, use IORoot25 to root and then use Autorec to install Custom recovery.
Time needed 1 hour.

Help with AT&T LGG2 .. stuck in mud

Problem: Can't boot into OS on my D800. When booting the screen stays at LG logo and LED keeps flashing green and blue.
Hisotry:
1) Had original AT&T D800 not rooted, no recovery. Got OTA upgrade to Lollipop.
2) Got new phone so decide to debloat to give phone to my wife (on T-mobile)
3) Read xda forums. Downgraded to d80010o using LG flash utility. rooted. installed older version of twrp using autorec. now phone won't boot but can get into download/twrp
4) got into firmware download mode and flashed d80010d using lg flash utility. this time copied new twrp on sdcard and stripped version of rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g2/development/rom-stock-lollipop-30b-stripped-t3144195) along with dorilp kernel
5) went back to twrp. flashed stripped rom and kernal.
Still no dice. Exact same situation. I can get into download mode/twrp but when booting system gets stuck on LG logo with led slowly flashing.
what am I doing wrong ?

Are you able to get into recovery? With a lolipo ROM you have to download KitKat boot stack or simply download blastgator lollipop ROM patch from here http://blastagator.ddns.net

From what I read in the OP of that ROM, you're supposed to just flash the rom zip, boot up, go back into recovery and flash the kernel.
"To install ROM, just flash the zip! (Note: The zip isn't signed.) My zip flashes everything you need for the ROM to work correctly.
Recommended: Flash @dorimanx kernel after install. My zip includes stock 30f kernel."
Maybe that's the problem?

okay.. installed the patch. still no dice. still getting same stuck at LG logo with led flashing.
also dorimanx kernal is installed. still getting the issue. btw i am not married to this ROM. Any AT&T rom will work. I think there is some mismatch of bootloader/kernal/rom and what not.
what things I can check ?

pulling my hair out.
whatever rom I install using twrp it gets stuck on LG logo. i think i see some message about not being able to unmount /system (but rest of install succeeds).
only way I can get back in OS is to use LG flash utility and flash d80010d or d80010o which basically wipes away everything (recovery, root etc).
assuming I am on stock d80010d, can someone please give idiot proof step by step direction (do i need to check modem version/baseband/bootloader/radio/recovery versions or something to make sure it is compatible ?)

Do you have download mode?

yes I do ..

Ok flash back via tot to kitkat and take ota to lollipop. Then use autorec v2. *Do not use the twrp thats comes autorec as it does not flash roms* flash a BUMPED twrp using twrp. Then install your lolipop rom then afterwards install the dormainx d800 lollipop patch just for safe measure but it should work without flashing it.

thanks for suggestion.. but once I take LP OTA, how will i use autorec ? I thought LP can't be rooted and custom recovery can't be flashed.
also all I can find is Autorec not autorec v2.

Yeah it can be rooted. Download stumproot and install it, follow it thru the steps and do the brute force root. Takes a few minutes but it works. I've done it on stock a couple of times. Get autorec v2 on playstore.

i just read that stumproot is not supported anymore..

Actually instead of stumproot, use srk tool to root stock lollipop. I have had success with that.

[HELP][6.0.1][CM] How can I flash a Recovery in MARSHMALLOW

Hello.
I have a D805 LG G2, flashed with CM 13.0 Nightly. [Running 6.0.1]
The problem is THERE'S NO RECOVERY. [Wait...What?]
From the Start:
-CSE Flash
-Flashed CM 13.0 [using Bumped TWRP from AutoRec]
Now I can't update my CM 13.0, because everytime that boot into recovery gives the SecureBoot error.
I can't loki because of unsupported aboot error. (Some users said that Loki was patched in 4.4)
I found AutoRec type for D855 (MarshMellow) but there's no version for D805 (or D802)
Tryed "dd" but not working.
All the apps in playstore don't work.
There's no way to flash TWRP now? I don't want to CSE Flash again and lose all my data.
[If anyone want some files from D805, pm me. Links for Aboot.img or such.] [I almost started porting D805 for CyanogenMod but got no time to do it.]

Yes. Now I can boot to TWRP, but gives me a bootloop then automatically boots me into TWRP. Must be another way than this.

for the bootloop did you installed hybridbootstacks that should get it going. i think
if not make sure you clean wipe, and install hybrid, then go to main menu reboot into twrp from twrp then continue to flash rom and gapps

Okay.

Another question, Do F2FS gives a performance boost in LG Phones? Because there's this post about a benchmark using EXT4 in one phone and F2FS in the other...
EDIT: G2_Security files seems to do nothing, just stands like a random file in my /sdcard/
EDIT2: Another question, what's better: TWRP or CyanogenMod Custom Recovery?
EDIT3: Ugh, Recovery with TWRP works but "crashes" on startup and goes back to android.

yes it does i guess a little performance but it does.
twrp from blastagator as it has thermal control so you dont heat up your screen and burn it or damaged.
not sure maybe youll need to go back to stock.

same i have d800 outside US.
this is what i do. not sure where you at.? if you in stock KITKAT then just do the rest of steps.
but basically i go back to stock to KK using flashtools. with this guide. asuming you can enter into download mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369
once you flash TOT method suscesfully. and had phone root and autorec for KK installed
then update you twrp with thermal twrp from blastagator..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705
then download bootstacks 5.0.2 Bootstack with KitKat (Bump) bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/lg-g2-bootstacks-t3173715
while you are in KITKAT and have rooted, and thermal twrp installed.
enter recovery twrp.
wipe all (move your pics and important files to pc while in twrp)
flash the 5.0.2 Bootstack with KitKat (Bump) bootloader:
go to main menu in twrp. then reboot into recovery again DONT REBOOT INTO SYSTEM.
then copy this flashable KDZ stock rom it already has root integrated. copy to phone while in twrp
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g2/development/rom-t3152368
flash it in twrp. this will install stock rooted 5.02 LP.
to install another rom a stock base.. simply install autorec for lollipop in the playstore
install tqrp with autorec for lollipop
update the twrp with the thermal one from blastagator..
if you want like stock based rom just wipe dalvik/cache/system and data/ and or sd card.
then copy rom while in twrp and install...
