[Q] TWRP to CWM? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Running CM10.2 nightly and want to try out the Paranoid Android found on the original development thread. Flashing does not work with TWRP (actually lead to a brick, but i'm back ). So getting CWM from TWRP usually with any other devices I own I would install rom manager then install recovery and it would overwrite the existing recovery...Well with the G2 (vzw) it just boots up into TWRP again. Is this do to the not fully unlocked bootloader? How do I install a .img file? Thanks in advanced

Ummmm. I may be wrong but this could be because that build is not for our device. Are you talking the vow original dev thread or the lgg2 original dev thread(multidevice)

The only I see that could get affected is updating TWRP thru Goo Manager. TWRP will give the T-Mobile version instead of ATT.

You can manually download TWRP from their website and install it using the "dd" command in a root terminal or root adb shell. It's a bit more hands-on, but in the end you just run a command or two. Instructions are on TWRP's website, and are specific to each phone. WARNING: If you do end up flashing a recovery via this method, be 100% sure you selected the right phone on TWRP's website, and be 110% sure you get the partition number right at the end of the "dd" command. Flashing the recovery to the wrong eMMC partition could easily result in a hard brick. (basically, just follow instructions and you'll be fine).

Ahh, yes, goo will install the TMO version, you need to use the flash att version in the Dev att forum.
Aou maybe right, that might be the only way, I didn't find the flash version....you could try this..

[Q] CM11 and tmo D801

I have been trying to flash CM11 to my G2(Tmo) but the problem I am running into is that no matter what tut I follow I end up with the same result. Fail. I have attached a pic of my screen if that helps. I have TWRP v2.6.3.2 installed and everything but install runs fine. The error that comes up on the install screen is "E:Error executing updater binary in zip '.........'. I am a noob to flashing/roms sorry If more information is needed just let me know.
Thanks.

To flash CM11 and most kitkat roms, you'll need to update TWRP. The most up-to-date version for the D801 (T-Mobile G2) is v2.6.3.5, which can be found in the CMB thread under G2 Android Development (T-Mobile): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568732 . The update is a flashable zip, so download it to your phone, reboot to recovery, and install it using your existing TWRP. After a reboot into recovery you should be updated, and you should be able to flash CM11.
thanks

[Q] ART to Dalvik and Titaniun Backup

I'm currently running CM11 (02-07) with ART enabled. I'm thinking of upgrading to the current nightly, but I'm not sure if I need any special steps with ART.
I will be flashing the ROM manually because I need to modify the device number, so I'll probably be doing a reset before, which will of course reset back to Dalvik and remove all my apps.
Now my quesion is, can I backup my apps and user data while in ART with Titanium, and then restore them in Dalvik? I'm thinking of keeping Dalvik so I can flash stock remote and camera.
Thanks,
Vic
Did a Titanium backup, clean install and everything is ok. ART is good, but I'm happy to be able install the remote and camera, and maybe try xposed framework.

I noticed you are using a furnace kernel,Did you flash CM11 with stock lg kernel? If so what version of twrp did you use. I don't understand the problem because I have the dame model as you.

Again, post back at that other thread with the details of what you did and what error you are getting. The more detail you can give the more we can help.
In a nutshell, the recovery that you install will dictate what ROM will work on your device. For some of the ROMs in that thread you will need to install a kernel, but that depends. And I'm not sure what error you are getting.

I am using the d803 model. I am currently running omni 2.0 rom. I have tried all verison of phiz recovery and still receiving the same error.
Sent from my LG G2 using Tapatalk
well as I don't have this model I can't be of much help but while looking through the omnirom thread there are very few people who use philz and in the flashing procedure it suggest you us twrp or philz so you might want to try with a different recovery and maybe the results will be different, good luck :fingers-crossed:

Old CM Version on Note 3?

Can any one help me try to get cm11 on my verizon note 3. I have TWRP and Unlocked Bootloader with root running CM13 but I still want to run cm11 and when I tried to flash the rom, it gave me a updater 7 error. If you know a way to fix this please tell me.

Error 7 is typically a mismatch condition between the fingerprint of the recovery in use and the model of the phone the ROM is intended for - the ROM author puts an "assert" statement in the installer script to prevent dummies from flashing a ROM from the wrong device to a phone.
Assuming you didn't make a mistake downloading the wrong cm rom for the SM-N900V Note 3 this could be a "hlte" vs "hltevzw" issue depending on which TWRP version you have installed.
You can work around this by unpacking the ROM .zip file, deleting the offending "assert" line in the installer script, and red zipping the ROM.

TWRP error 7 typically means you're trying to install the zip onto the wrong device.

Yes if you are using the hltevzw twrp then just flash the hlte generic twrp and u can flash roms that don't require the hltevzw twrp to see the right rom is version is being flashed.
One more question , i am running JasmineRom its 5.0.x CM 11 is 4.x.x Will it work? if i install it?

I don't think so but was wondering since we have an unlocked bootloader, can we downgrade to a developer 4.4.2 rom and then install the cm11?
