Updating TWRP fail - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I flashed the 2.6.3.2 version of TWRP. But i can't flash a ROM on that version. I tried to flash the 2.6.3.3 version of TWRP but it fails instantly. I'm not sure what to do. Thanks.

I'm using 3.2 and I've installed Malladus, AOKP and PAC without any problems. 3.3 is broken from what I heard.
What are you trying to flash? I think Cyanogenmod only works with CWM.

I was flashing CM11. I will try another ROM and see if that works. Thanks

Really I'm on 3.3 and its perfect....you should try Philz recovery posted in the Original development forum.....a lot ppl said it works good for the Roms that won't flash

I flashed PAC Man and it worked. I'm actually trying to go over to CWM for gummy ROM but thanks.

You have to find the right recovery image, by that I mean one that works. I had the same issue and I just had to dig a little bit to find a working 2.6.3.3 image. It was cake once I downloaded and flashed it. Good luck.

Can't flash new rom after flashing 4.4 rom.

I flashed a Kit Kat rom, and before I was having problems with recovery. Now I'm having problems flashing a new ROM. Every time I try to flash a different rom, it says it flashes but it just goes back to the 4.4 rom I flashed first. I can restore a backup just fine, but even from the backup it does the same thing.

My MAC address keeps changing after reboot, and wifi is screwy no matter what I do. Full Wipe, factory reset, Factory image restore. Its seems the 4.4 roms change things that cant be undone. I now have to have my phone replaced.
Gah. I'd rather not have to have my phone replaced. I feel as if its just 4.4 ROMs though.

Try reflasing your recovery. If that doesn't work, then flash the 4.3 factory images.

I'm on the latest CWM touch, I believe 6.0.4.3. I haven't actually tried going from the 4.4 rom to a 4.3, but I know I can't go from 4.4 to a different 4.4 rom, or from 4.3 rom to a different 4.4 rom, it just goes to the first one I flashed.

GooManager is telling me that there is no recovery available for my device. That's odd.
If all else fails, download the stock 4.3 image and fastboot flash it, then try whatever other ROM you wanted.

The only other thing you might try now is flashing any 4.3 or 4.2.2 ROM, reboot, and see if it's now on that one or still on 4.4...
Or is that what you already did with PAC?
You can also manually format /system then /data from TWRP or CWM then manually flash your new ROM.

That's what I did. I went from 4.4 to PAC, and it booted into PAC. Same with CM 10.2. It seems to just be happening with 4.4 roms.

I just wiped /system and /data, and now the 4.4 PA fails to flash, but CM 10.2 flashed. I'm gonna switch to CWM to see if it'll flash there.
UPDATE: CWM would NOT let me go back to the previous option when asking me to reflash recovery when booting, and it didn't flash PA, so now I'm stuck on the first 4.4 build with no GApps until 9 or 10 tonight. First thing I'm doing when I get home is flashing the factory image.

Why can't I install cm11 even though currently running cm10.2?

Greetings all knowing androidians...
I am currently on cm10.2 stable and have been trying to move to cm11 for a while but every time I go to flash it fails. I see that others are running it no problem so I'm confused or at least suspect something is different and I am missing it.

Twrp 2.6.3.2
Cm 10.2 stable
If you'd looked around .... your recovery is a little old.
I'm using 2.6.3.4 and having no problem with kitkat.
I did and attempted to update to Twrp 2.6.3.3 but wouldn't flash said that the recovery was not a loki file... Another issue I ran into. As for 2.6.3.4.. I haven't been able to find that version.

You guys are genius... Loki updated... Attempting to flash!
OK used free gee to update to 2.6.3.3. Tried updating to .4 using the zip provided and using the flash from zip function built into freegee but eventhough it says successful it isn't flashing. How can I get free gee to recognize .4 or should I not worry about it?
I will keep saying this! I really dunno why you people keep using TWRP! I always read issues about TWRP and not with CWM! I use Philz touch recovery which is CWM-based (see original android development). It works like magic with a lot of nice features!

Does Philz-CWM have OTG support yet ?
I started out yrs ago on CWM ---> moved to TWRP due to excellent OTG support and stick with TWRP since, on multiple devices.
OTG support is a MUST for me --> I can have many GBs worth of ROMBackups on my USBs which I can switch easily.
All my ROMs are on the USB too, easy to get to... not a worry to wipe the phone.
By the way, I've not seen any issue with 2.6.3.4 yet (doing 4.2.2 & 4.4.2).

[Q] Help Flashing on Sprint G2

So I'm on 4.2.2, rooted.
I just flashed CM11 (first with, then without gapps) and got an annoying bootloop; just the LG Logo.
Luckily I had a backup of stock, so it's all good.
The thing is, I really want CM11.
So what are my prerequisites? Do I have to flash a certain radio or something? I did everything right in every one of my attempts (Flash system, data, cache, etc)
Any advice?
Thanks!

Just flashed TWRP that apparently has the Loki hack (.zip file via Flashify) and same result.

Glad I'm not the only one with this issue, I gave up on trying to install cyanogenmod after numerous failures, I believe it has something to do with having the ZV8 version of The Sprint G2, luckily there's a ROM out there based on cyanogenmod that will work with all Variants of the LG G2, I think your will enjoy this ROM.

If I had to guess I'd say you're on ZVA. Try flashing the ZV8 modem, then CM and see if that works. Get the most updated twrp and CM11 also. CM just released the M8 version yesterday which is a snapshot or stable build.
I had CM up and running a couple weekends ago. Started from ZVC so I had to flash the ZV8 modem for it to boot. Smooth running after that.

Well it took me forever on my friend's wifi to download CM and Gapps, so I think I'm just gonna flash the modem like the other person said and get CM11 working. I'll try your method when I get home and have faster download speed. Lol.
Thanks though!

:good:Excellent, glad to hear that worked for you. LG is definitely more difficult to work with than some other brands. My last device was an HTC and it was so easy to flash roms back and forth. \
Go ahead and grab the modem zip for ZVA (if that's what you were on) to have in case you want to restore your backup. Flash that, then restore. Otherwise it will bootloop also.

Welcome to the G2! Take a look at the stock camera mod by xdabebb in the G2 development section. Well worth the time. G2 Tweaksbox is another favorite. It (along with the xposed framework) allows you to customize tons of areas if the LG skin.

[Q] Flashing ROM failure

Hi,
Yesterday I went to flash CyanogenMod 11 on my Galaxy s4 (GT19505) and it wouldn't work. The first time, it started then went to a black screen. I turned my phone back on to find it wouldn't boot up at all (I waited over 10 minutes for it). I can access recovery mode, and when I did it again, it said md5 couldn't be found.
I used Odin to flash the most recent CT auto root and then moved over TWRP (with Odin) and I had no trouble with these.
I accidentally moved TWRP 2.5 over instead of 2.7. I was running 4.4 KitKat on my phone. Could it be 2.7 isn't compatible with CM 11?
Help!?
It should just work.
Flash the latest TWRP or Philz.
Perform a full wipe.
Flash Cyanogenmod.
What version are you trying to flash from Cyanogenmod? Use the nightlys and if one doesn't work try the version before that one.
ps you can skip the step nexttime about flashing cf-auto root. You don't have to do this. You can just flash the recovery you want.

Is there any difference between 19500 and 19505? I'll try a new CM download...knowing my uncertainty I probably got an incompatible rom.
How stable are the nightlies?

You should only flash a rom for YOUR model phone, and for me the nightlies were stable enough to use.

So I redid TWRP, now what about CM 11? TWRP uses the jfltexx in its name...do I just use Odin to move CM?
So, I installed TWRP 2.7 and it worked. All is good, currently enjoying CM!!!
Now the battery is saying it's at 0%...how do I fix that?
Now my password isn't working for some reason. I did a restore with TWRP and now I can get into my phone. Fix?

D800 won't take any AOSP ROMs

Hey guys and gals. I have my old g2 that I rarely use anymore, but want to tinker with. My problem is that any LP or MM aosp ROMs won't fully boot. They all just bootloop forever. I've tried different versions of twrp. I've tried just about every bootstack. I've followed flashing instructions to the letter. It's currently running serenity 5.0.2 because stock based seems to take fine, and serenity is relatively debloated. I should add, the laptop fried a few weeks ago, so I'm trying to figure this out via mobile only. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I'm at a loss here.
