Finally got my G2 to TO root with su binaries installed. Now can someone point me in the direction of a recovery install That will work after latest update. I have tried flashing and a couple other methods to no avail.
Thanks in advance

Update guessing is the ota? You can use flashify app from play store to flash either TWRP recovery 2.6.3.2 that is a IMG. Or 2.6.3.3. That's a zip file .....
Okay will try

I just read in another thread that custom recoveries cannot yet be flashed on the latest OTA. You have to revert back in order to have a custom recovery. According to this thread.

If you DONT have the ota and update with a custom recovery it will bootloop, need stock recovery but if you have the ota flashing a custom recovery is fine...could always see if theirs a stock ROM with ota included too
I have the ota and twrp recovery rooted...

I got the phone this past Friday. Took the ota update before even attempting to root the device. I used the newest ioroot12 and achieved root yesterday. I have tried to use the Loki method to flash recovery also tried using flashify neither one has worked. What method did you use. Also thanks for your help...??

I have getting a notification to update my phone but since I rooted it seems to jump into recovery and constantly give me a fail installation error. How can I install the update, do I need to download and install the latest ROM from samsung manually?
Will I need to backup everything up and restore it or can I just install everything as is while keeping my settings?
Which carrier?

It will only install on stock recovery. You have to either flash the stock recovery or install it manually and reroot (I think)

I would veriy Roms for at work with new update before you take an ota. On the vs980 I took the 12b ota and found out that not many devs have patched their work to operate with the ota.
Had to flash back to 10b then just flashed the 12b radio

Freegee
I am running Verizon LG G2 on 12B rooted, stock rom and have CWM with Freegee
I ran two backups and want to flash a custom rom but worried about after you flash the new ROM is CWM and Freegee still gonna be there???
I have tried to get into recovery with holding the Vol + up and power but it just boots normal...
I see some of you are using Flashify root but if I want to use that how do you remove Freegee and CWM?
Also I can see my backups while in recovery on cwm but with phone on and using Astro File Manager I go into the Clockworkmod dir and don't see my backups in there.
Any thoughts. I am gonna wait to flash new rom until I know for sure I can if need be get to my backups.
Update--->> Installed TWRP and now I can see my backups and get into recovery by holding both volume down + power. As soon as the LG logo comes up release it and immediately do the same thing again and hold them down. It will bring you to a reset screen and you hit power 3 times. and it starts TWRP.

Hi, I tried to flash twrp recovery with some help from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 but it keeps saying fail.. I tried both options.
if rooted freegee is easier from app store, it gets proper automagically.
If trying to flash via cwm, get the recovery flashable zip from the thread and not the img. Doubt thats the case
Where did you get that awesome avatar btw?

sorry for my English I'm European .
BTW again, do I need an unlocked bootloader to flash roms like paranoid I'm on d802
"Keeps saying it failed" What failed, in what part? Also currently there's no way to unlock the bootloader, but use loki bypass instead, basically when you have recovery installed, you don't have to worry much about bootloader or loki.

Yes you can and flash them without any problems. Only in twrp settings tick the option to use different format command or it'll take like 10 minutes to wipe cache

if you are on the 10o software version on an ATT phone ten yes I would recommend flashing back wit the flash tool if you want to be able to flash roms. There are a lot of people that had the 0o software and had issues flashing different roms

I am aware of the guides the nice people have come up with but is there an easier way such as an application? I remember, before I flashed back firmware, it was ten times easier and required no adb or commands on my end. I also flashed it over CWM which I had at the time.
Thanks.

What ROM are you currently on? Are you rooted? If on a Jellybean ROM and rooted just use Freegee from the market to install latest TWRP or Cwm instantly with no fuss. If you are on a KitKat ROM you need to downgrade which can be a long process.

Back up EFS, and then back THAT up to your computer. THEN proceed to whatever it is you rooted for.
Definitely back efs up

if you are on 10d you can use this,just download the file and click recovery and everything should work. phone has to be on charge and not MTP.download both files in the download and place them in a recovery folder or whatever you choose to call it.
for ATT or international versions.here you go:
hang on uploading the zip

You can only flash recovery in jellybean based ROMs. If you are on a rooted KitKat ROM you still can't have custom recovery without also a modded boot img
