It comes with its own issues but gets you recovery. Afterwards, freegee works on the E-980 to flash a newer and more stable recovery.

"Secure booting error so boot success" is this something to be worried about?
And now if I flash some AOSP based ROM, will it work?

No, it's supposed to say that.
Not trying to highjack this thread, but I have 2 relevant questions.
1)
On my E980, I tried using Freegee to install recovery like back on Jelly bean. Every time I do this now, Freegee says an exception was thrown and that E98020g is not supported.
When I use this apk to install the kitkat recovery, everything works fine. Weird thing though is that afterwards, Freegee stops spitting these errors at me.
Any idea what's up with this? Should I stick with the Kitkat recovery, or now use Freegee to install its CWM/TWRP recovery?
2)
(continuing from question 1)
A few hours ago (and all day yesterday too), I did try flashing CWM through Freegee and it worked. I then used that recovery to flash the PhilZ Touch recovery, which I like more. With both the Freegee CWM and the PhilZ recovery, I can do pretty much everything just fine.
But... the problem is that at random times, the PhilZ recovery will cause me to get stuck in a Recovery bootloop. Basically, every bootup forces me into recovery whether I'm holding the proper buttons during bootup or not. (NOTE: I have yet to stick with the Freegee recovery versions long enough to see if they do this too, but some other people are reporting CWM bootloops).
So question 2 is this:
Is this being caused by PhilZ not being fully Kitkat compatible?
Will this Kitkat CWM Recovery not do this? Every time it happens, I must reflash my phone using the tot method and it's getting tiring... been trying to get things working for a day now.

Sounds more like a TWRP glitch then ROM related, it crashes 1/5 flashes on my DNA. Now by crashed do you mean failed, or restarted?

The recovery failed...screen went dark, had to hold power to reset, rebooted and stuck on boot screen.
Had to power up into recovery, re-wipe and re-flash the rom only..
I agree it is TWRP...but the question was asked if TWRP worked...

TWRP failing has nothing to do with the ROM, if it's unstable then it's unstable. Until now I haven't seen or heard of twrp crashing, so saying it works with twrp is correct, it does, it crashing isn't related to it getting along with the ROM.
If you're still wanting to say the ROM causes twrp to crash then recreate it and pull the log from /cache/recovery/last_log and see what it says caused it, Rom or not, if it knows what happened. It may have just been a fluke.

I was afraid of that. I heard a lot of things about TWRP on the Acer tablets not getting along with Aroma, unless really old versions of TWRP were used (Like 2.1 or something)

For what it's worth, I re-flashed Aroma (with your v1.3 rom running) and it worked...I will now go back and re-flash both together as I originally did and see what happens. I don't really need Aroma, but it is nice..
It's funny because CWM seems to work well on the Acer tablets, and TWRP is sketchy, and on my TF300, CWM is sketch and TWRP is perfect

I flashed ROM and Aroma with twrp 2.2.0+ without any problem.
Thanks for that great ROM! :good:
Ok so I am not the greatest when it comes to flashing ROMs but so far I have managed to get by.
I went from MMuzzyROM 4.2.2 to [ROM] [4.3] [JSS15J]. I wiped my data/dalvick/cache, flashed the new ROM and Gaaps and installed SuperuserSU. As of right now SuperuserSU will not install and I get an installation error. And when using Rom Manager I can not reboot into recovery. And there is a bit more, when I try and boot into recovery from the holding the volume and power button down, after choosing recovery the android with the error shows up. From what I understand is that the 4.3 rom I flashed removed the stock recovery, but I am just confused how to get back recovery.
My main question is did I loose root and how can I get the recovery option back.
Thanks, Noel

4.3 is buggy with root right now. You can use rom manager to reflash cwmrecovery or you can use goomanager to install twrp

what's the fastboot command you're using to flash recovery.
about loosing your recovery after flashing/boot/reboot OS for the first time, it's probably the same that 4.2 had

/system/install-recovery.sh

The error message is when using the clockwork mod app to install the recovery, once downloaded it states an error has occurred. Then when trying TWRP I am following these steps I get "fastboot is not a recognizable command..." I am pretty lost as you can tell and am thankful for the help.

Mainly because I thought if I had rooted my device and done all this once, I should remember how to do it again. But through ignorance I thought I could and be able to remember the steps and what not. I'll read through it and figure it out, it was just a moment of panic of losing the option of recovery that I have had for a long time and not being able to use it means (or I think it means) I am just stuck of 4.3 for a bit and hopefully the ROM isn't too bad.
I am sorry about the noobness but i cant seem to find a proper thread for recovery setup.
I installed ROM Manager and then the CWM recovery from there.
But if i try to root into recovery I get a " android with a exclamation mark" - so assumes i messed something up ?
only way is to power cycle the device .
Can anyone here please help how i install CWM as i want to flas CM 11

How were you able to make flashing custom roms work using freegee? I successfully rooted my Optimus G Pro and used freegee to install CWM recovery 6.0.4.7, but everytime I try to flash a custom rom - the phone would reboot after 10 -15 seconds. I followed and installed the custom roms accordingly to the instructions. Can you help me?

There are two different versions of Freegee on the Playstore. One is the free version and One is the paid version. I used the free version and when I open the app to install CWM recovery I don't see the "unlock" option, so I think the "unlock" option is only available in the paid version. Also, when I used the free version of Freegee to install CWM recovery, I can make and restore my nandroid backup. Maybe I need to buy the paid version of Freegee??
no u don't need paid.
also I didn't have the unlock option and I was able to flash.
I would say try twrp.
also are u trying just 1 ROM or have to tried a couple. maybe do that

do I enable Loki after the flash or before the flash? Because I enable loki in the advance option of CWM recovery after I flash a custom rom and the phone still reboots 10-15 seconds. I did all the normal wipes and stuff too. I'm thinking maybe its because of I'm the software version that I'm on which is E98010g.
He said "check before you flash any rom,that LOKI support is enabled"... You should carefully read instructions before you do anything or you will end with bricked device...

For some reason Rom manager cwm didn't work for me so I tried installing freegee from the play store and installing cwm from there.
Since freegee my cwm works fine and I was able to flash.

I'm having the same trouble with recovery. I was on SlimBean for several months and decided to flash a ROM from RadeonMaya, but it wouldn't boot, so I tried to restore my backup of Slim from CWM. It looked like it restored properly, but it wouldn't boot either. I finally reverted back to stock and rooted again, downloaded Freegee and tried to flash CWM. I booted into recovery to flash my Slim backup, but I got an "error loki-ifying the boot image". I tried Phil's recovery, but couldn't boot back into recovery from CWM
Since then, I have not been able to flash anything, and have reverted back to stock probably a dozen times. I've tried TWRP, but can't flash a version that works on 4.1.2. I'm beyond frustrated at this point. I had fun flashing on this phone until these problems showed up, now I'm just going to try to like the stock ROM and hope we get an update to KitKat.
Just a quick question guys. What does freegee's "unlock" feature do? I ask because I don't get that option in Freegee either. Is it supposed to network unlock your phone or? Also, what is the need for the unlock?
can't flash a CWM recovery on my wife's E980 using Freegee....Mine is the white one and I had no loki issues with it...everytime you flsays:
"checking if loki-ifying is needed/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc. /by-name/boot needs lokifying. [-] Failed to find function to patch.
Error loki-ifying the boot image. "
yes I did use Freegee already and install CWM. When I booted it gave me this...I can't install any ROMS. yet my other G Pro (white) is fine and hasn't given me any issues. RIght now I'm stuck with it booting into clockwork by itself. And I would like to use TWRP but the version that comes with Freegee doesn't work right on the damn screen. If it's not bootlooping into Clockwork then it gets frozen at the LG screen with something about security crap. and the funny part is...I used Freegee both times.
EDIT: used LGFlashTool to bring it back..but she wants a custom ROM and every recovery I flash to it either
1. used this recovery. tried flashing using a CWM recovery that I used from Freegee http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552611
freezes at the LG screen with a SECURITY ERROR on the left corner of the screen (flashtools will fix)
2. When I do successfully flash a recovery using Freegee and I get it to boot into CWM it won't come back out of CWM it will boot automatically into it (LGflashtools will fix)
3. the freegee TWRP in won't work right with the touch screen.
Yes I saw that there are 2 topics similar to this, but they are G2's. Mine is an AT&T E980 that i'm having issues with.
I had exactly this same problem. I'm also on AT&T E980 and could not find a fix anywhere for this phone. I flashed back to stock so many times that I was ready to just get rid of it. What I finally noticed was that, if I flashed back to stock and took the update to E98010P, I could flash TWRP through FreeGee and the touch would work. I also used VooDoo OTA to preserve root through the update. I don't know if it was necessary, but it didn't cause me any problems and everything worked.
I have no idea why CWM stopped working and I could not use Phil's recovery either, but the whole experience has been maddening and I have never had so many problems with a phone before. Hope this helps.
i have the same annoying problem!
can someone help?
after the rom flash was done i've got the error so i immediately restored my backup

Update your TWRP.

you think I should flash with flash fire?

Last thing I can think of is when opening TWRP the first time. It asks if you want to make the system 'read only'. Did you select No?

Not sure. You can click mount and see what is mounted. I am not sure that will work. I am not sure exactly what you are trying to wipe, but mount the items you are attempting to wipe and make sure the read-only is unchecked.
Try this:

Re-root via root tar/odin
twrp 3.0.0.1 from edge files post in general
Backup stock
Wipe
Flash Moar
Don't reboot
Flash skyhigh kernel
Flash xposed(don't have to)
Reboot
Allow it to boot loop a couple time (from sky kernel)
Give 5-10 minutes to boot
I just did it with no issues and I've personally had more luck with 3.0.0.1 than any of the others.
heres my issue...twrp doesnt do anything for me (all versions) whether i wipe or install
so i used flashfire to flash the rom and the kernel at once and it finally displayed aroma installer (wouldnt get that in twrp)
however, after it in stalled i got stuck on boot screen
the only fix for this was flashing unbrick aok3 tar file which brought me to stock
i put on twrp as a recovery again starting fresh unrooted and it still doesnt respond to any of my commands
i think i will try flash fire on stock one more time and see what happens since its the only thing that is responding

Your on Lp bootloader that's your issue.
Download Marshmallow tar from the general post I made for rooting Bpg1.
Flash tar and follow post.
twrp. 3.0.x.x is more for marshmallow. You need to be on 6.0.1 not 5.1.1.
Don't use fireflash on this device.
Fireflash is more for phones with locked bootloaders like Verizon s4 on the of1 update.
Fireflash isn't really up to date with our phone and could easily brick your device.
