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

I read that twrp 2.6.3 was for 4.4 which is what I have already. If not then what recovery should I use??

Look for octhrope's flashable zip in the TWRP thread. It's marked as working for KK. It'll have the same numbers but modified for Kk.

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.

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.

so i have built a working twrp for the optimus g. everything is working great.
this has been confirmed to be working on att/sprint/rogers/telus devices.
Download ----------> TWRP v2.3.2.3
How to install:
- you must be on an unlocked bootloader (use freegee)
- download the zip file and boot into recovery
- install TWRP-v2.3.2.3-LG-OptimusG-sk8erwitskil.zip
- enjoy
yes....everything is working fine in this recovery

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

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

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..
Did you flash Philz?

I have a rooted device and am trying to upgrade from ZVB to ZVC but each time I try it starts the download then has the droid with a red error message. I want this upgrade and am guessing my rooting has caused the issue.
Any advice how to get the upgrade on my phone?
Can use lgnpst. Go the the #lg-optimus-g irc and the link is in there to download, install, and run it

Yeah I have TWRP installed. Besides that I have not done anything that I can think of, anything in particular that you're talking about?

After having this installed for a day, I've noticed that my data connection is gone.
I have everything turned on but only WiFi works.
Never mind! Updated PRL and Profile and data connection has been reborn!
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?

Did you root before or backed up your efs partition from before.
If you root with ioroot. I read somewhere before it copies something that might fix. Search xda
