install a custom rom via sideload? - LG Optimus G Pro

Ok so I was crazy enough to try the recent update on my rooted G Pro. It got stuck in recovery loop of course. Is there a ay to load a custom rom with out having to have a CWM recovery?
Hopefully I didn't confuse anybody.
Thanks in advance.

No you need to have cwm, twrp or phills cwm to flash custom roms. Adb sideload is available through these recoveries.

Can't boot into CWM recovery anymore

Hey guys, I tried to install the TWRP recovery image in order to install a CM ROM but have had no luck with installing the ROM. Now I'm not able to boot into my clockword mod recovery, could you tell me what I need to do to fix this?
Thanks
Try this out, see if it works, it worked for me for both cwm and twrp:

I'm using latest CWM, always update recovery via rom manager.

Try using TWRP 2.3.3.0 as your recovery system instead, it's more up to date and is reliable. Just flash it through Odin, afterwards, you should be able to install and boot the ROMs perfectly.

If you don't mind switching to TWRP as the guy above said, then I would switch. If you like CWM, then make sure you aren't using the super wipe scripts on CWM versions other than 5.0.X

I have the same issue, can I just flash twrp without unrooting first and just flash using odin on top of my existing root.
I am not sure how a root on an existing root will work. Thanks
I have rooted N1705 and have same problem. I really would like to know what's this all about since this is my first phone with this kind of a problem. Only workaround for me was that i installed ROM Manager, updated CWM and flashed into it via the manager. The key shortcut did not work on either CWM or TWRP.

Flash the stock recovery, or PhilZ, or TWRP, your choice.

I never said you need to unroot.
Just flash the twrp file.

Yes its the 7105. And we are sure that we used the correct roms and cwm files from the correct section. rom manager also says that cwm is up to date but reboot to recovery doesnt work. it just shuts itself of. even with "adb reboot recovery"
Flash cwm via odin.

Stuck with TWRP, making a solution.

So here, im on a custom rom with eveything backed up and i cant restore anything through TWRP.. Like my *stock rom*.
so i tried to flash CWM with no success.
so im gonna be writing a .bat to flash the img file for cwm thru fastboot.
wish me Luck!

I just moved my backups from /sdcard/TWRP to /sdcard/0/TWRP and all my backups work just fine now. in fact i deleted everything in /sdcard/ minus the /0/ folder.

I'm confused your TWRP isnt working?
Have you tried flashing the latest 2.6.3.0 recovery using the Flashify app?
I did all my rooting/flashing WITHOUT a computer when I bought this thing new stock.
(LGPWN.apk>FreeGee>Flashify>DONE)
Flashify is THE most reliable custom recovery flasher on Google Play.
Others at times leave you on your current recovery.
