Is there a need to switch recoveries when switching back and forth between kitkat to JB ?
Do you mean from cwm and twrp and contrariwise? No, you don't need to.

No for JB you don't need but for KK you must have cwm 6.0.4.4 and about twrp i m not sure.

So basically need to switch to older recoveries every time switching from kitkat to JB ?

Yes.
What is the difference between loki-fied and not loki-fied recovery ? .. when do I need which ? Shellnuts freegee and cubes cwm and twrp threads don't say if their recoveries are lokified or not. Phlis touch cwm thread makes a mention of it, but was very confusing, "lokified during flash" , what's that supposed to mean ? He also speak of lokified if bootloader is locked ? So if bootloader is unlocked through freegee you don't need a lokified recovery ? ... I'm super confused ..
I have flashed every KK ROM for the e980 with CWM 6.0.3.7 without fail, fwiw
e980 - I'd tell you which ROM, but I'd have to update my signature thrice daily

Thats good to know. Did you get the recovery through freegee ? Do you ever switch back to JB ? Switching back and forth without issues too ?

Yes, I got this recovery from Freegee. First and only recovery I installed. Have never updated it, because if it ain't broke...
When KK first came to the OGP, I switched back and forth between that and Vanir 4.3 and BS Harmony 4.3 with no problems, back or forth. YMMV, but for me there has never been a problem. One thing to note is that I haven't flashed any of the stock based roms. I am a custom ROM guy through and through.

The OGP has a locked bootloader. We use Loki as a way to bypass this so we have the full functionality of an unlocked bootloader. The recoveries included in freegee have the loki bypass just as every recovery here on XDA, for our device, has it (I think).
Stock-based ROMs don't require loki as they can run on the stock kernel included with the phone while loki is needed for AOSP-based ROMs due to the change of kernel. Without an unlocked bootloader (or Loki in our case) we'd be stuck on stock-based ROMs which is exactly what happened to the Atrix HD.

Thanks man. Sounds like HTC s-on/off
I guess the next obvious question is why wouldn't people just unlock through freegee ? Is it not reliable ?
I rooted mine with 10p and 10k, used a flashable 10k and used lg flash tools. As of right now I still have this error message coming up in freegee telling me "com. lg.hidden menu has stopped working. I thought maybe there was something wrong, that's why I did all these flashes and recoveries. But I still get this error in freegee. I have also NEVER to date seen the "unlock" or "security off" option in freegee.
The last recovery I did was because I flashed a security app, Cerberus, to my phone and it caused it to get stuck on the LG logo. When I flashed Cerberus I got some error message at the end about there being a Loki error. It was a long name and I don't remember it off hand. You guys have to forgive my ignorance as this phone is new to me and I'm just learning all this stuff for it. Am I doing something wrong here? Is there a way to unlock the bootloader now without using freegee? I don't plan to flash a custom rom on here so is freegee and an unlocked bootloader even needed?
Help me out here guys. A really good in-depth sticky on all this stuff would be great but there isn't one, that I found anyway.
That's interesting. I unlocked my optimus g with freegee. I thought one couldnt even have a custom recovery with bootloader locked .. Maybe this is where the Loki thing comes in play
Don't blame yourself man, it is very confusing here with all variants of the phone in one forum. Also I don't think you'll need freegee at all since you aren't planning on using a custom rom.
Freegee is what I used as well. Yes, it's pretty much like S-Off for HTC which is why you see the Secure Boot Error message on boot. :3
For the OGP, instead of freegee unlocking the bootloader it applies Loki. On my old LGOG (E970) freegee actually unlocks the bootloader. But having a locked bootloader has saved me quite a bit of trouble. Just now got my 4th replacement phone (Middle of the screen was waaaaay too bright compared to the rest) for free by using LGFlashTool and putting it back to stock before sending it in. Otherwise I would've ended up owing AT&T around $1,200 lol.

Hi all, its there any way of unlocking bootloader or bypass the lg security other than freegee as freegee is not supporting my android version. (E98810e)?
I have rooted and tried directly installing CWM. CWM works if i reboot from freegee but it will go into bootloop if i try to get into recovery using hardware key. Head too return to stock twice because of that... Can you help please?
Or is there any way of flashing custom rom without using freegee?
Sent from my LG-E988 using Tapatalk
Freegee does not unlock the bootloader. It just bypasses it. And as far as I know, Freegee is the only way to get CWM installed and boot. You can try using Rom Manager. It says Rom Manager has Loki support but when I tried it on my phone (E98010P) it wouldn't boot. You can give it a try and see what happens.

I was confused about this for the longest time. Freegee will install a lokified recovery which will bypass s-on and install roms for u
You know, that's a good question. Perhaps that is why Rom Manager won't work because it doesn't bypass the lg security? Maybe someone with more experience with this can give a better answer.
Anyone?

I'm on LG E98020i. Freegee wouldn,t work for this software version. Can i flash version 98010g which happens to be supported and then root/unlock/flash CWM/Custom roms?
Well, finally I got it working! All about risk.
I simply
* flashed E98010g AT&T (4.1.2) into my current E98020i AT&T (4.4.2).
* Rooted it and unlocked the bootloader with freegee and flashing TWRP 2.3.x.x
* Performed a backup, then reflashed the newer recovery version 3.0.0 using flasify (I had to also backup my stock boot and recovery with flashify before proceeding)
* As the new recovery was installed, I simply wiped my partitions and flashed my Lollipop ROM 5.1 (ResurrectionRemix)
* My phone was brand new henceforth. So happy!
My fear was that I have to be coming from KK b4 flashing the Lollipop OS, but it didn't stop me from enjoying my "fresh" device.

That's similar to what I wound up doing.
On stock E98020i AT&T (4.4.2)
1. Rooted using towelroot.
2. Installed busybox
3. Installed GPRO_6.0.4.4 Recovery
4. Installed Flashify (tried FlashFire first and it ran a long terminal screen but didn't install TWRP) and flashed the oldest recovery TWRP listed on their website.
5. Verified it worked, and then flashed the latest TWRP.
Success.
I tried it the way you listed, but freegee kept either black screening or would just freeze up.
I read elsewhere that freegee is incompatible with the last AT&T KitKat release.
My only problem is that the latest CM12.1 for the e980 doesn't seem to go into deep sleep.
It used almost 20% of the battery in less than 4 hours with Wifi and bluetooth enabled.
If I can't fix it, I'll try CM11 and hope I get better results.

I used freegee and got the exact same results. So I went much further...brick or fix the wakelock with different basebands and kernel combos. Nexus4 radios, weird hardware issues, touch issues in a touch recovery, fun stuff. I bricked it over and over having to rgflash 4.1.2 tot. Each 'return to stock' release tot for att seems to use a different method to loki a custom recovery. idk. I've always been able to enter download mode.:fingers-crossed:
I was flashing the wrong stock firmware version and after lgflashing v10g stock firmware, I was able to update to the latest TWRP recovery using the following steps: towelroot/supersu/busybox/reboot/flashify...no wakelock in Carbon 5.1 :highfive:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
Also, I got myself a new battery, and I'd recommend the zero lemon ones.
Flashing steps

2. Towelroot
3. Freegee's TWRP
4. Flashify TWRP 3.0.2.0
5. SlimLP
6. Open Gapps
7. V4A Sony Beats
8. KK baseband
For the baseband I extracted it from KK to flash it when I need as it is better than JBs.
I have my G Pro running for 14 hours now and I am at 34%...I used Palabre to read some stuff on WiFi for about half an hour. Then, left the phone... Then, I spent an hour and a half reading an ebook on Moon+, screen awake all the time, reader's brightness at 40% on a dark theme.
I haven't tried slim since kat and have been interested in trying it again. I was a big 'quick settings ribbon' kind of user, disenfranchised when SlimROMs stopped offering the feature. But I've since given that dream up and swipe crazily in horizontal gestures since 5.0 But SlimROMs are fast, stable, and ya know...slim.

I found the issue.
WiFi was set to 'Always On'.
Changing it to 'Only On When Plugged In' gave me normal battery life.
So I just got my LG G2 yesterday after having an HTC One without issues for a while. I had TWRP installed on the HTC One from day one, and am now trying to do the same on the G2.
The question I have is will TWRP work on the G2 if it is already on 4.4.2? This is the thread I found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522965
The One never had anything to do with different firmwares affecting how you install TWRP or anything like that so I'm making sure I don't do anything wrong and brick my phone after a day.
Some more info: I am already rooted using ioroot 25, as I said it is on 4.4.2, and if you guys need any other info let me know which info you need and I'll find it and post it up.
Thanks for the help!
I have tried using flashify to install TWRP 2.6.2.img file on my ls980 with 4.4.2 kitkat and it started to fastboot. After that i just used lg flash tools to revert my lg back to stock.

Shoot, that's what I've got. Is there a way to install a Recovery or flash custom ROMs then? Or is it possible to downgrade my firmware still on ZVC?
To get recovery installed is kind of tricky right now. Some people have soft bricked or worse bricked but then they end up with no download mode on their phone. You can use the lg flash tool to downgrade to zva or zv8 and go that route to get twrp and run custom roms.

Yeah that's what I'm doing. Flashing stuff for different devices for a while. Getting a few scares but always able to fix the phone, But g2 is turning out to be a different animal. There is some new partition in the update that is causing this problem with the download mode.Till the dev's get the zvc update figured out it even makes me a little leary of using the work arounds .

Yeah, that's how I feel. My HTC One was a breeze to use as far as TWRP and unlocking the bootloader, plus it was fairly hard to actually brick that phone. Until I get more familiar with the root scene on the G2 I don't want to try doing anything that could damage the phone.
Is it worth downgrading?

I have just switched carriers from Metro using the LG Esteem which I owned for 2 years waiting patiently for CM 10 to work. When I was researching the G2 I noticed all the roms available especially CM 11. I don't mind going through all the work to downgrade if in the end I will have a butt kicking rom that offers all that KK has plus?
If your flashaholic and like cm roms yes. I'm on stock rooted kit kat for now Not a real big fan of Cm roms. But that's just me.
Hello,
I always had a HTC, so I'm kind of a new with rooting and unlocking an LG.
I have a LG D855 international and I have been reading a lot in this forum and I think that I've figured it out. But I just wont to be sure.
So if I'm right than I can root my phone by running purpledrake. When I've done that I have to install SU.
But if I understand it correcly the only way to get twrp is with" Bump'ed TWRP" so it's only possible to have TWRP if I use a custom rom?
So it's not possible to have orig Rom an TWRP? Right?
But If I just root my phone with purpledrake, so without installing TWRP and without custom Rom, I would still be able to use EXPOSED? RIght?

Yes Purple Drake is currently the most reliable root method, once you have root you need to install the SuperSU app of your choice.
Don't confuse yourself with Bump! Just accept that this is the only recovery that works with the G3 and install it then use it like normal. You will only be able to flash custom kernels (and roms with custom kernels) after they have been bumped, this is something the developer will do for you not anything for you to be concerned with, and fairly soon (when this method is released) all custom roms and kernels you find on xda will be pre-bumped - so basically you can treat the recovery like you always have done.
Xposed is nothing to do with recovery and everything to do with having root access.
Does this recovery back up my stock rom safely? I'm hesitant to use it because I've never heard of bump.

Nope, afaik, once on bumped twrp, u can't restore stock recovery. For that you will again have to flash the stock KDZ.

The user above you is wrong and didnt read your question properly.
You CAN back up your stock ROM, just install bump, head to recovery and do a backup - you will never get stock recovery back though, unless you flash a KDZ with Flashtool.
But yes you can use TWRP to back up your currenty stock ROM.
Okay I get it the only way to restore the rom that I backed up is to add bump to it! ok I got it but in order to get back my stock phone I'm going to have to use the LG flash tool right

No I can't. But I see no reason to doubt what he says he's done himself. I do know the method he mentions was verified for several lollipop ROMs by multiple users.
OTH. Until I read the post above, IIRC, that's the first I've heard of it working on KitKat. TBH, I've not attempted this- "works on any ROM" concept but stayed close or with my bootloader. OB7 bootloader running OG5 being the biggest exception. But I've also made exceptions for kernels and modems but stayed close to revision of bootloader. I feel max compatibility is where they all match. When possible, that's what I run with.
KitKat may boot with your lollipop bootloader and lollipop 5.1.1 custom rooted kernel but how stable and compatible is it? For me, KitKat WiFi Calling was never stable. Not saying it's a total waste of time; use at your own risk.
I can't affirm with absolute certainty that Odin won't allow you to downgrade once your bootloader is greater than OB7 (because I never tried it, myself) but I can say MANY reported and posted failed Odin logs to confirm that. (That is confirmation). AND some had to use Philz CWM touch recovery for Note 4 to factory reset and flash in recovery after TWRP failed to flash afterwards and for a time; there were a few to confirm this. Don't try to "downgrade to KitKat with Odin" unless your bootloader is OB7 or less. If bootloader is greater than OB7, use recovery only plus the kernel mentioned for downgrade. It's a risk vs reward to consider yourself.

Freegee dies not work on KitKat stock rom. Are you on kitkat? Look up on xda soecifically for rooting kitkat rom. To unlock bootloader you need to install og pro recovery apk. Again Google for that. Once tgat is done you can flash twrp via flashify. Let me know if you need more info. My info is based on my experiments with my lg e988. Btw what rom do you want to try? For me all AOSP lollipop roms did not work well.

I've already installed CWM recovery and now running CM12.1 , But I still can't figure out how to unlock bootloader, when I try to use CM's advanced boot to boot into BL, all it does is normally boot up my phone.
Well i have never tried to boot into the bootloader. So i dont know what happens when i do that. I will try it once i get home and post again.

I've already installed CWM recovery and now running CM12.1 , But I still can't figure out how to unlock bootloader, when I try to use CM's advanced boot to boot into BL, all it does is normally boot up my phone.

E980 doesn't have a bootloader unlock, just bypass with Loki. If you need fully unlocked bootloader, well, bother LG.
