You need to be on VS98039a to install TWRP using AutoRec.

I have twrp 2.6.3.2 installed. I used freegee to install it.
I want to be at latest version so I can back up EFS easily before I start flashing roms.
Is there an easy way to upgrade twrp?
Thanks
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
Download the zip file for twrp. Boot into recovery and install the zip

Hello,
sometimes I am reading that some users are installing TWRP via AutoRec.
But sometimes I am also reading that some users install Bump!ed versions of TWRP by simply flashing it directly via Flashify for example.
Are there any advantages/disadvantages comparing those methods?
Or would both give the same results?
What is currently considered the best way to install TWRP on the LG G2 when TWRP has not been installed yet?
Regards

It depends on the roms you will be using, if you're going to use a bumped ROM then using the latest stock base and flashing twrp though flashify is the cleanest method, but if the ROM you're using isn't bumped you need the jelly bean bootloader and thus should use autorec. Note that you can install bumped ROMs on the jelly bean bootloader but you CAN NOT install non bumped ROMs on the kitkat bootloader. If you are using a bumped setup and flash a non bumped ROM, it will boot loop. If you don't have a BUMPED ROM still on your storage, you will need to factory reset through download mode or fastboot (whichever you have, some flashable bootstacks purposefully break download mode to enable fastboot. I personally prefer download mode, if I can't get to an adb prompt I'd rather just flash a kdz).

Hey wq.
I very recently installed AutoRec on my D802, which has the latest 4.4.2 KK. It works flawlessly, and I recommend it. I believe the .apk installs TWRP 2.7.0.0, which has worked for me very well, and I have installed at least 15 different ROMs with it so far.
Hello,
thank you very much for your fast and detailed answers.
So, let's assume someone uses AutoRec to install TWRP for the first time on a LG G2, which only installs an old version of TWRP (version 2.7.0.0).
Which TWRP version should one then use to update to the latest version of TWRP?
Would you use the blastagator version from over there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705
Or would you use the official version from over there:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/197
And how would you install it?
By simply booting into TWRP 2.7.0.0 (provided by AutoRec) and then from there flashing the latest TWRP zip file?

I wanted to flash cloudy rom which is bumped.
So i straight away used flashify to flash bumped recovery and then flashed the rom..
No autorec needed.
I flashed blastgator's twrp with thermal control.
I updated my device to the latest frimware using flashfire, and it uninstalled xposed and elementx kernel.
Can I use flashfire to install them back? or should I install TWRP and then do it regularly?

i am not too familiar with flashfire, but i would just install TWRP and flash using TWRP. Flashify makes installing the recovery a breeze
You should always just use TWRP / fastboot for consistent results.
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!
