Hello xda. I have a simple and probably stupid question but i have rooted my g2 and installed twrp with little to no issue. I downloaded the hellfire kitkat rom and flashed it through twrp. Is it normal to get a bootloop after install? After install i wiped like everything in the posts said and when i rebooted i just got the lg logo looping. I let my phone sit for about 10 mins like that before recovering my original rom.

Are you sure you downloaded the correct ROM, first? 2nd, be sure you are using at least TWRP 2.6.3.3 or you will have problems.

Yeah i downloaded the file for the ls980...which is the sprint version of the g2. I installed the gapps right after. I believe that i am using twrp 2.6.3.3 becuase when i tried to install 2.6.3.2 it made my phone go into fatboot mode. I will double check that as well.

Just checked on the twrp and indeed i am running 2.6.3.3
Did you try fixing permissions (I saw in hellfire rom thread that after flashing you should fix permissions and then reboot)

@E4with - the gapps package is the problem. You're flashing a 4.2.2 package on a 4.4.2 ROM. Update to the correct gapps and you won't bootloop.

That was my original assumption aldo but i checked the gapps pack and it is 4.4.2. So im still not quite sure what the problem us with the hellfire rom and my device. Also i tried the aeon flex rom and it worked and booted but would not give me and iption for mobile data usage so now im starting yo think that maybe i need to unroot and start over again.
I still think it's the gapps package being too old. Update to the newest one from yesterday and try again.

Alright ive kinda hit a wall im not sure what i can do i can't seem to get my s4 to flash to any custom roms. just picked it up it came with the latest MF9, ive followed the instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257101 to get root access and to install twrp. i can get it all to install just fine and have verified that i have root access. but once i flash a custom rom ie. CM 10.1 or even Slim mod either through goomanager it will say it installs successfully but once it reboots the new rom splash screen shows up and just sits there forever spinning and it never goes any further.
ive even restored my device to factory and unrooted the device and im still unable to get any roms to load up. am i missing anything that someone might be able to point out
heres the steps ive tried or gone thru
1. CF-autoroot via odin
2. install Twrp or CWM either thru odin or their manager aps
3. copy rom and gapps to sd card
4. boot to recovery and try to install
5. get stuck at splash screen!!!!
You probably need to install a compatible kernel. If the Rom doesn't include one that's the problem.

How are you flashing this recovery? I am having the same problem.
Figured it out. Used cwm recovery and flashed the fixed version

Vs980 twrp
Just to clarify, the fix for the broken VS980 TWRP .zip first appeared in the official cyanogenmod nightlies thread, and it was suggested that one should first achieve a working TWRP 2.6.3.2 recovery first, then use it to flash the fixed recovery .zip to update to version 2.6.3.3 (it seems to "upgrade" the previous recovery rather than flash itself in entirety.)
However this may be wrong... I personally already had TWRP 2.6.3.2 installed so I went ahead and used the fixed .zip without a hitch, but it seems like kregstrong had no issues flashing from cwm.
OK think I fixed it. Try now. Sorry. Couldn't find the original link for it

Thank you! This is the only method I have gotten twrp 2.6.3.3 to install
Using twrp ...Whatever the most recent is 2.6.3?
I,have successfully installed cm10.2 Roms in the past.. However when I do the same with a kitkat ROM.. It always fails, I've tried paranoid and cm..... I've wiped, cleared cache and dalvik but alas to no avail :3
Does anybody have suggestions? I almost died of smiles when knock on worked in 4.3 cm (kind of) but I'm sick of the stock ROM and lg's...... Sh-ware

There's a discontinued 2.6.3.4 in the Original Development section. Flashes kk ROMs just fine

Yeah, I encountered problems through flashify too. I just flashed the zip from TWRP 2.6.3.x, then rebooted the recovery.

Hey for 4.4 Roms you need twrp 2.6.3.3...comes in a zip so easy enough to just flash!....also Philz custom cwm recovery supports 4.4
yeah update recovery,but also do a system and data wipe as well.
be sure to have a backup
and fully downloaded rom.

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

HI to all,
I am experiencing an issue with my LG g2 from this morning so i will be glad if someone could help a little. Thanks in advance.
So.. i am using lg g2 with cyano 12.1 and this morning i saw that they have released the 13.0 nightlys so i decided to give them a shot. I downloaded that latest one and installed it but after that my phone wouldn't turn on. I started to make some checks i noticed that i am using twrp 2.7.0.0 which i think is pretty old at the moment. So i downloaded 5.1.1 rom everything went well with installing it. My plan was to download the 5.1.1 install it and after that update the twrp recovery to the latest and after that to install the 13.0 nightly.. I downloaded Flashfy and tried to update to the latest twrp recovery and after reboot i get an error message about some certificate and the phone wont boot up at all. If i press the power and volume down button it starts and i can use it normally but no chance to get in twrp recovery. When I run the twrp manager it says that the current version is still 2.7.0.0. So... please advise me how to proceed with this issue and how can i update in the most easiest way the twrp recovery?
Did u install a bumped TWRP
I don't have any idea the zip that i downloaded from Flashify was the latest.
How can i tell if its a bump recovery? Now i have a option to flash 2.6 something from the twrp manager. Would that fix the issue?

The link is below ..... you can flash it in TWRP or flashify whichever u prefer....... the a bumpted or lokied custom recovery is needed for lg g2 devices as our bootloader is technically still locked.
