TWRP v2.3.2.3 (11/28/12)

I am just re-posting this for simple reference purposes.
Tested and works for Sprint as well.
The only issue I have encountered is mounting does not work, but this is a known problem.

Works great! Thanks for sharing!

Don't use compression while backing up. I had that issue and it broke my phone, I had to LGNPST back to stock, reroot, re-unlock, and re-flash TWRP.

Besides mounting, what other issues does it have. Seems like this is a better option than the clock work recovery

Is time issue fixed yet. I know it was when I left the s3

Sorry for another stupid noob question you say install with recovery is this the stock recovery?
Thanks

If you buy Freegee. Helps support our devs. It'll install CWM or TWRP. TWRP is our only fully functional recovery so far.

A few questions after rooting

To get into fastboot - Vol Up, Power
To get into TWRP - Vol Down x2, Power
What do I need to use to uninstall apps I dont want? Going into something like Google Books and all I see is "Uninstall updates". Do I use something like Titanium Backup to do this?

Ok, more pressing issue now..
Was attempting to disable the camera shutter sound via editing the build.prop file. First round didnt work. I was changing the permissions of the System folder to rw-r-r from whatever it was set to as default. Using Root Browser. I checked the boxes I wanted, then hit back. Phone froze up, I hit power to see what that would do. Now the phone just boots into TWRP...
Im guessing I messed something up. Please help.

You try doing a factory reset?

No backup yet
How do I do a factory reset from TWRP? Or is that something more involved than Im thinking?

Since I was messing with permissions when things went south, would the "fix permissions" option be a possible solution?

To do a factory reset just go to wipe menu... You can try to fix permissions it won't hurt

Possibly. When you mess with the build prop, and goof, it usually won't boot. You should have made a back up. Then if no boot, then just restore.

Factory reset didnt help at all. Nor did Fix permissions.
Looking into things, it looks like I can get a ZIP of whatever ROM I want and use SDK to get it onto my SD card and then just Install that ROM which should solve the issue?

Another option as partimus said.... In TWRP go to wipe, then factory reset.

So in TWRP, does it show any flashable Roms to install?
As long as you have TWRP, if there's not a rom on SD, then yes, you can adb sideload a ROM and install it.

OK, I have the SDK downloaded. Do I simply go to the CMD window to use the "adb sideload <zip name> command? I see the gist of the instructions in the Softbrick thread, but I feel there are some extra details missing.

You need to install adb. Google it, lots of install threads on it.

4.4 ROM Flashing difficulties

Hello, I have been trying to flash a 4.4 ROM on my Optimus G for the longest. I am currently running a 4.3 but can't a stable one as well. Every time I try to flash a 4.4 TWRP almost instantly says fail every time even though it is the most updated version, does anyone know why this is?

You have to use a KK recovery. CWM or TWRP will be marked as working for KK. KK being 4.4

Well, if you have the right TWRP, and are wiping /system, /data, /cache, /dalvic, I'd say bad dl , or your SD might be messed up.
That's the only reasons I can think of.

See if you can flash a stock ROM. Also, reinstall recovery. DL the one from Shelnutt2 on the codefire server. There's also a link for it in the root guide.
After reinstalling recovery, and if it'll install a stock ROM, try a 4.4 rom again. If it still fails, I'd say try wiping your SD.
Other than that, I'm at a loss.

[Q] Do not get mobile network after flashing rom

So, I have flashed a few roms, the most recent, Lego Rom, and I am still unable to activate my network. I have mobile data but no phone. I have went back and tried to install from freshly rooted to a rom but without any change. I am following install instructions to a T. This is by far not my first time installing a custom rom. Anyone have any ideas what my problem is?

If you root with ioroot. I read somewhere before it copies something that might fix. Search xda

I did back up efs, I ended up flashing the ZVA radio and am on Liquid right now. Kind of annoying though.

[Q] What is efs?

When i boot into stock recovery i get this:
E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid Argument)
If anyone could let me know what this is and how to fix it, that would be awesome!

Flash CWM recovery, boot to it, go to advanced and look for format efs...

I am currently experiencing this same problem. My note 2 will not load past the samsung logo. I installed touch cwm but ddont see the option to format as you say. Im lost and am really hoping there is a way to fix this. I did download a efs zip for the sph-l900 but i have no idea how to instal it on the phone. I tried to odin a stock file with no luck. It says pass but still does the same thing.

my brother fixed it by going into the main files with twrp. He had to make the efs filed mount. He just manually entered the file and then used Odin to flash the stock image. When we got into the os it was in factory mode. So we rooted and turned factory mode off. All works now and I'm extremely happy with this device.
