Well, if you want CWM, you should obviously get the newer version. And if you want TWRP, then use that.

Scratch that. After looking around a bit, it appears that FreeGee will cause you to bootloop if you try and use it... Or it does for some people at least
Sent from my Optimus G Pro using xda app-developers app
I would not recommend you to use freegee at moment.
You run danger to end in a recovery loop and then you probably
Have the low battery error on returning back to stock.
Madmack cwm depends on what model you have
Is there another app i can use that wont cause the bootloop
These issues are fixed now in freegee's app. Use twrp if you are going to flash an aosp Rom. CWM if you are going to flash a stock based Rom. CWM 6.0.4.7 fixes the recovery loop issue.

At freegee the twrp version says 2.6.3.3 but when install and reboot to recovery says 2.6.3.0!

CM flash just fine wtih latest CWM from freegee. Is there any way to flash back stock recovery?

A little help please? I can root ZV9 and ZVB but continue to have issues with installing a customer recovery. I get the bootloop on the LG logo. I can always get into download mode and fix it back to stock but no further than that. I must be missing something. Steps are as follows
1. Root my LGOG with fiddy619's ZV9 AND ZVB/JB Root zip. SuperSU and root checker say all is good
2. protect root with Voodoo OTA root keeper
3. Instal and run FreeGee from the play store (latest version 0.6.0.1). FreeGee congratulates me.
4. Install custom recovery and close FreeGee
5. Open up GooManager and update to newest TWRP 2.4.3.0
6. reboot to recovery (tried several methods, manual, reboot recovery from GooManager, QuickBoot)
7. cross all appendages and pray
8. LG bootloop
I can get back into download mode and fix it with LGNPST and rescue my phone to ZV9. So for me... root is easy just no recovery. Can TWRP be flashed from the stock recovery if I place the flashable TWRP zip in my cache folder?
Have you tried to LGNPST back to ZV7 then use the aio tool. It worked great for me.

I've used that I believe. I think that's what I used to recover from my bootloops. Then when I root that (I've tried several reboots with stock recovery and all is well), I get the bootloop after FreeGee and customer recovery even on ZV9
Irc has it. Same place you find LGNPST. They have a link for the file.

I finally had the time to try this.. I downgraded to ZV7 and let it update to ZV8. All was fine with that. I had root after severall reboots. Then I unlcoked with FreeGee (YAY) and updated TWRP in GooManager. I am now once again stuck with the LG bootloop. Any other tips I can try?

I tried that after things hung up on my initial downgrade to ZV7 and it worked fine. the hangup I had after downgrade was the 4GLTE logo. This bootloop is a little different and happens on the red LG logo

Maybe zvb has the same problem of before where certain people just aren't able to unlock with the regular freegee for some reason. Shelnutt made a special version for ICS so I would ask him if he has one for jb.

There's no link that I know of. It's a special one that Shelnutt2 gives out only in the irc.

Hi everyone..
I've just received my upgrade and could'd wait to try out some roms. Rooting is pretty straightforward, but after many attempts I just cant get cwm to work properly..When booting with "volume up, home and power button the screen starts flickering and gets corrupted. After that I just get a black screen!
Thanks, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

MIUI recommend Cwm, twrp does not flash MIUI very well
Edit: the above post recommends Philz touch, as that is based on Cwm then it should install miui just fine.
Trying my hardest, but I cant for the life of me get cwm to work on my note 2!
The screen flashes an the just black, untill I hard reset the phone..

Either your boot loader is out of date or you're running a d2can recovery instead of a d2att recovery.

When the touchscreen doesn't work the first time, just hold power to restart phone, then power, vol+, and home to get into recovery again.
Also, which ROM are you on? I personally use madmack's Twrp that is hacked and no touch problems and I am on CM10.2.

use the freegee app you used to flash cwm ( if that's the one you chose when you used the freegee app to unlock) and hit restore from back up and it will restore the cwm recovery.

I think that might depend if he can boot up. Freegee is an app and installed like one and not flashed. Also, if he isn't on stock, freegee doesn't work. Hopefully, he followed rule 1...make a back up.

if he can boot his phone it works even when your not on stock. no you cant use freegee to flash a recovery if your not on stock but you can restore from back up with it, i had to do it myself to get cwm recovery back when i was non stock.

Search for a lokified version CWM 6.0.4.4 for g pro. You'll probably find it in Asian sites where KitKat has been already released.
