whats twrp??? can i get the link or the full name so i can search it on g play store ?

Just google that.. isnt that outdated?? how do i make rom manager to work?

Here is link to twrp recovery. It is more advanced than cwm. You will have to mess around to find out where everything is in it. But its nice since you can flash multiple files at once.

I have clock world recovery installed during my root process and I am able to use it manually how ever when I attempt to use rom manager its asking me to install it again but it's not giving me the option to select s3 for at&t, and when I try to install a rom manually via recovery mode its saying aborted.

i had a similar issue to this a couple days ago. i was getting install aborted status error 7 when trying to flash cm9 nightly. i updated my cwm to the latest version (5.8.4.7) and it worked perfectly. also note that when flashing with cwm v5.8.4.7 you have to flash from internal sdcard. (i got confused by that because i usually flash from external)

Root issues (moved from Virgin rom as requested) Help

I am trying to upgrade my Virgin ROM to the 9.12 build but get a fail upon trying to flash it. The background.... I'm using TWRP recovery and have tried the chainfire root method. Here are the results:
As you can see you can see some conflicting information... all shots were taken in sequence. I'm thinking the fail in twrp is coming from the system not having root but the info is telling me otherwise....

Do you have the latest SuperSU version?

I'm a little lost at what you are saying.
You flashed a rom, and it said fail, and you think it has to do with Root?
If you have TWRP installed it doesn't matter if you are rooted or not. It's going to over right the system partition regardless if you have root or not.
So it's either a bad download or bad transfer for it to fail.

I do have the latest SU version by chain fire. And maybe I'm doing something wrong the because I am running the virgin gpe ROM now and that flashed in twrp with no issues. Now when I go to install (after wiping) and select the 9.12 update that I downloaded it hangs on trying to open the zip and fails... I haven't changed any twrp settings but in the write options of twrp what boxes should be checked because system is not by default... Thanks for the replies!

You can give CWM a try, I've been using it for a while without any issues. Out of curiosity what version if TWRP you are using? I think most people recommend TWRP 2.5.0.2. I'm using the latest version of CWM.

If all else fails, just start from scratch, get stock UVUAMDL tar, flash it with Odin, make sure to do a factory wipe after you flash it, sometimes bootloops occur if you don't. You don't even have to go past the first screen where you pick the language. Just shut it down from there and boot into download mode and root with Chainfire with Odin, then shut down and boot up again into download mode again and flash custom recovery tar of ur choice with Odin. Then download whatever custom rom zip and install it via custom recovery.

heyyy saw your reply in my thread.
just as @byron1985 suggested there, it sounds like you got a bad download. the flashing scripts are essentially exactly the same from previous version. the flashing process has absolutely zero to do with SuperSU.
edit: re-read. so you've verified the download. if you had success with CWM previously, i would go back to that. i do not use TWRP.

Im going to give the twrp 2.5.2 a try as it seems most of my troubles keep happening on the 2.6.3 build. Hopefully that works either way its back to CWM for me as well. Thanks again for taking the time to help out and again sorry about hijacking the thread for a page... Your ROM is absolutely perfect so I appreciate the efforts and time!,

Boot Loop after trying to Flash Cyanogenmod 11 through AutoRec?

Hello,
I am very new to rooting, and just rooted my Sprint LG G2 with 4.4.2 KitKat through IORoot 25 and then used AutoRec as my TWRP. I then downloaded Cyanogenmod11 from its website onto my phone, and tried to flash install it through AutoRec. However, when I try to install the CM11 ROM, I get the "MD5 not found" message, and when I try to reboot after this, my phone goes into what I think is Bootloop (the LG home screen continuously turns on for a couple seconds, then stops for a split second, and then turns back on for a couple seconds). Fortunately, I am was able to hard restart my phone by holding Power and Volume Up together while this screen is on, and I was able to restore my phone with the backup I made, and my phone is now working fine with the stock ROM. Has anyone else had this problem before, and if so is there a better way for my to install custom ROM, and/or fix that MD5 message? Does anyone know what that MD5 message means?
One other note, I have been doing some reading and I currently have ZVC radio. I'm not sure what this means exactly, but would this make a difference?
Thanks!

Interesting, thanks. Are there any ROMs that work for 4.4.2 that people have been using, or am I pretty much stuck with the stock ROM until CM is updated?

Cloudyfa has some in the G2 android development forum. There are some others that will work with sprint.

thanks for ur reply,
Im not sure what "radio" version, but i know its updated to VS980-26A
anyway i sorted the problem by using the cm11 version on this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702958
i simply downloaded the one here and installed, (skipped all the steps and just put it in the internal memory and flashed it)
Now its working well. ill let you know if any problems arise.

[102414]Get CM11 based ROM work with F240x variants using this kernel - 100% working!

Hi all! I just found and tested a kernel in LGVIET forum, courtesy of rui962190105.
It is made to work with the latest CM11 nightlies. It is working perfectly with the latest nightly I flashed.
It is also working with the latest VANIR and I guess also COMMOTIO.
Tested working with this ROMs:
1. VANIR (4.4.3 - 4.4.4)
2. COMMOTIO 4.4.4
3. BeanStalk 4.4.4
4. AICP 4.4.4
5. CM11 latest nightlies
6. PAC 4.4.4
7. Bliss Stalk 4.4.4
8. CARBON 4.4.4
I managed to test AICP, VANIR, CM11, BeanStalk and COMMOTIO with this, and no problems still.
Here is the link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-khXRwmmbnnSm0tUkVrdzE0dlk/view?usp=sharing
That is the kernel itself. Feel free to test it. I am on VANIR now and all is perfectly functioning.
How to:
1. Flash your CM11 ROM
2. Flash GAPPS
3. Flash this kernel
4. Kaching!
Of course do the wipes needed, and please use latest recovery.
IMPORTANT!
1.) If coming from stock F240x, I suggest flash first the ROM first:
ROM: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567716050
2.) Then install FREEGEE, install CWM 6.0.4.7 recovery, place the CM11 ROM, GAPPS, this KERNEL to your device storage.
2.1.) I advise to flash Philz Touch recovery after CWM from FreeGee. It is much better.
3.) Reboot to recovery, make a backup first to be sure, do the wipes, flash as instructed above, do another dalvik wipe, boot to system.
4.) If all is well, then you are good. If not report back here.
BUGS (I guess):
- NFC (I dunno if it's the KERNEL or the ROM)
- Battery drains like 1% per 2 hours as for me, in Standby Mode.

This is a kernel for F240 K/S/L variants that wants to flash the CM11 nightlies for E98x.

There are no builds specifically for the F240, but with this kernel, you can use the CM11 nightly builds for E98x, for the F240x variant.

That's the point. You are talking about FREEGEE installation and I don't want to deal with FREEGEE, that's why I was looking for a way to install CWM 6.0.4.5 or above directly.
Anyway, I will give it a try with CWM 6.0.4.4 that my phone has.

Hi

Well, here is the short review:
1. Tried to install using CWM 6.0.4.4 that I had. No success. The installation failed on checking phone's model for CM11 zip that I downloaded from the official site. Theoretically, it can be easily overcome by repacking the installation zip and small fix in the script, but I am not sure it wouldn't fail on something else after that. So, whoever wants to install it with lower CWM version, it will likely not work.
2. I installed FREEGEE and activated CWM 6.0.4.7 installation from FREEGEE menu. Rebooted into the recovery after and CWM 6.0.4.7 was there. A tip for doing the same - the backups I had (and which were done via old CWM 6.0.4.4) became invisible for the new CWM version. So, you must rebackup your ROM before you continue, otherwise you can find yourself without an option to revert. BTW, 6.0.4.4 version had also touch controls, and the new doesn't
3. After taking the backup, I continued according to the instructions and all went good. Got well known CM that I had on my old Galaxy II a while ago.
4. So far, things work - all basic operations that I used were OK, SD card is visible, no issues at the moment though I am using it for a half day, so can't report batter life for example (Sphinx 1.5 that I had before had a great battery life).
5. Unfortunately, GPS signal losing that my phone has from time to time (and this was the reason for trying CM 11, though I understood that it is not likely that ROM can cause to this, just wanted to give it a chance) is still here and it happens exactly like it was with stock, MIUI, Sphinx (which is based on stock). Still can't find the solution for my GPS issues.

FasterFix (and similar applications) can help a little for initial GPS fix. My problem is different, the signal gets lost periodically (sometimes very frequently, even each 30-40 seconds) though the initial fix can be quite OK, around a half of minute.
About the thread subject - the battery life is not so good. The phone approximately loses 5% each hour when it is idle most of the time (just a few occasional calls). According to the battery details, most is spent on 'Cell standby', I suspect it does not go sleeping and wakes up all the time.
Since my GPS problem (which was my motivation to try CM11) is not solved, I am switching back to my backup (Spinx 1.5).

Yes, battery seems to be not that good. I'll try to have changes in it. Thanks.

I think the problem with the battery is the inability to go to deep sleep
Cause its only the stand by time that's actually much worse than stock as well as the music playback
