[GUIDE] INSTALLING TWRP on LGG2 (VZW, AT&T, TMobile, KT, d802, others) [UPDATED]

NOTE! This guide is extremely old and likely isnt up to date. I cannot maintain it any more. If anyone is willing to take it over and fix any issues, let me know!
TOOK THE OTA AND GOT STUCK IN RECOVERY LOOP? DERP, DONT TAKE OTAS, DUH. ANYWAYS, IF YOU CANT GET INTO DOWNLOAD MODE AFTER OTA, DO THIS
GUIDE:
Thanks to Bliss who worked the exploit into Loki, Dees_Troy built TWRP for us, djkinetic, Huskehn, and myself tested.
So good news folks! TWRP is now working on LG G2 thanks to an updated loki patch from bliss. Note that Loki patch is not necessarily an unlocked bootloader, but for the end user there is basically no difference. We can flash kernels (when they exist) roms (when they exist) recoveries etc etc. A full bootloader unlock could come someday, but this is all you will need until then.
First off, if you have issues with ADB not connecting, try THESE DRIVERS
The install is super simple, and you have two or 3 options.
Download the img for your device:
AT&T IMG DOWNLOAD THE NEWEST VERSION ONLY!!! as of writing that is 2.6.3.3
Verizon IMG DOWNLOAD THE NEWEST VERSION ONLY!!! as of writing that is 2.6.3.3
TMobile IMG DOWNLOAD THE NEWEST VERSION ONLY!!! as of writing that is 2.6.3.3
Korean Telecom IMG DOWNLOAD THE NEWEST VERSION ONLY!!! as of writing that is 2.6.3.3
d802 IMG DOWNLOAD THE NEWEST VERSION ONLY!!! as of writing that is 2.6.3.3
For other models, click HERE and scroll down to find the files beginning with d2, and see if any of the folders sound like your model.
NOTE FOR THESE DOWNLOADS! READ ME! UPDATE! Ok, so if you look in the download page for your device and you are getting a zip file, this is a flashable zip, but it cannot be treated the same as an IMG file in this guide. You need to flash an older one that is a .img file, and then use that to flash the newer zip.
YOU MUST ALREADY BE ROOTED! follow This guide to do so if you arent. BE AWARE THAT THIS ROOTING METHOD ONLY WORKS BEFORE TAKING THE OTA. IF YOU ARE UPDATED AND UNABLE TO ROOT, FOR NOW THE ONLY WAY IS TO FLASH BACK TO STOCK AND ROOT BEFORE THE OTA, THEN TAKE THE OTA, THEN INSTALL TWRP
NOTE THAT ALL GUIDES BELOW ARE REFERENCING THE VZW img file. Be sure to replace it with whatever version you downloaded!
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING NOT MADE FOR YOU PHONE SPECIFICALLY!
OPTION 1 RECOMMENDED The way I tested it in #lg-g2 Possibly safer as loki runs some safety checks first. Download loki from github here Click download zip on the right. and go into the bin folder of the zip. push loki flash and the img like so:
Code:
adb push loki_flash /data/local/tmp/loki_flash
adb push openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2vzw.img /data/local/tmp/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2vzw.img
adb shell
[B][COLOR="DarkOrange"](IF YOU DONT SEE A # prompt, type su to get it.)[/COLOR][/B]
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 loki_flash
./loki_flash recovery /data/local/tmp/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2vzw.img
exit
adb reboot recovery
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTION 2 via dd. Push just the recovery img like this:
Code:
adb push openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2vzw.img /data/local/tmp/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2vzw.img
adb shell
[B][COLOR="DarkOrange"](IF YOU DONT SEE A # prompt, type su to get it.)[/COLOR][/B]
cd /data/local/tmp
dd if=/data/local/tmp/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2vzw.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
exit
adb reboot recovery
--------------------------------------------
OPTION 3 easy, untested (as of time of writing) install it from goomanager on the phone! This aparantly does work bu you have to manually browse to the file or something... anyone who's tried care to clarify?
I tried and cant figure out where you find the recovery. I recommend Option 1 or 2
----------------------------------------------
Troubleshooting:
If you get "Failed to open aboot for reading." when following method 1, Be sure you have the # prompt, not $. If you rooted properly you should alutomatically have # in shell, but if not just type su to get it. then run the flashing command.
If you had confusion based on the pushing steps because the two img names listed in the command were different, my bad. the filenames changed while I was writing from test version to final, I missed replacing the first name in the commands. Look at the post again as it is fixed now.
If adb reboot doesnt work, make sure that "exit" command fully exited you out of the adb shell prompt. you should be at standard command prompt for that. type exit again if you arent, or heck just open a new command prompt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Be happy with what you have, so soon. Be sure to thank all the devs and donate to them![/SIZE][/U]

Got stuck trying to send the recovery to my ATT G2, replacing verizon files, renamed all the files including recovery file to RECOVERY and got it running. TWRP up and running. WOOOHOOO, let the roms begin lol

What? You mean no one cares whether or not I get this device only what @scrosler gets?
I kid, I kid.
Nice work on getting TWRP on the device. Now it is time for something truly awesome to happen, now that this first step has been taken.

can someone confirm sucessful TWRP installation via GooManager? This is the only way i feel comfortable installing it at the moment can someone confirm this method is working?

I'd like to know this as well, please

This doesn't mean anything about the bootloader does it? You still have to run the stock kernal?

If this works as the loki for the S4 did, then we will have access to flash everything. Kernel, modem, and ROM. There are no boundaries.

Currently this is a work around. Bootloader is still locked up tight

Goo says no recovery found for this device.

Basically the bootloader no longer matters except for the purity of beating them at their own game. I am sure there are other benefits, but crackflashers will have our fix

i tried thru goomanager i went in to the install open script and it says no recoveries are available

HUGH Thanks to everyone that made this possible! :victory: You guys are the reason I stick with android and never worry about buying the latest devices.
Patience paid off. :highfive:
Now Bring on the ROMS!!!!!:laugh:

Doesn't work for me. I get a "cannot stat 'g2vzw.img': No such file or directory"

Do I need to root before this
Nvm I'm dumb
Sent from my VS980 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Since there is no file named simply "g2vzw.img" from the OP download links, it's not letting me do the step:
adb push g2vzw.img /data/local/tmp/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-g2vzw.img
and tells me that no such file or directory exists, which is true.
Confused....

i was about to try, then saw this when reading through it. i don't get it.

So in theory an OTA will patch this just like the S4 so be careful with updates.
Wish i had mine in my hands but i dont have my upgrade till the 29th.

i'm also frekaing out because this is the first i heard about this chinese root method possibly having spyware..that's the method i used, and despite the fact i deleted their superuser app immediately, i'm wondering if i should go back to stock and do all that bs just to root again with the new method..

Original stock firmware?

Would anyone know where to find the original stock rom and flashing method?

Why would you need it if there is no alternative right now? Stock is all you can have so do a factory reset if required.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

For example you need a stock rom to unroot your device. Factory reset doesn't work for unrooting. So the questions from @ekolb123 is very good. I agree to the question.

You can unroot from within the supersu app under settings.
Sent from my LG-V500 using Tapatalk 4

LG has posted the source for the G Pad: https://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensourceList?types=NAME&search=LGV500
However until now there isn't any way to unlock/hack the bootloader, and so you cant flash it.

Most of us rooted with Kingoroot. Can't you just unroot with that and then factory reset in the stock recovery?

I'm currently working on a stock, rooted ROM but as I'm very new at this, I'm having quite a bit of difficulty.
Once I'm able to actually get it to build, then I can work on figuring out our new LOKI support and get CWM up and running.

what buttons do i press upon booting up to get to recovery to factory reset my device. i already unrooted. thanks.
edit: nevermind, figured it out. it's in system settings, and you can also press and hold Volulme Down + Power and then when you see LG let go of Power and press and hold it again.

Good news.
I tried to get CWM working and although it built i only achieved to brick my tablet.
The good news is that now i've found tutorials to unbrick it (in fact any recent LG smartphone or tablet).
To download the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073827
model is v500
Go to download mode by pressing volume+ and keeping it pressed connect your usb cable to your pc (the tablet must be off)
To flash the rom : http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/167696-tuto-flasher-une-rom-officielle-en-kdz/ (translated by google: http://translate.google.fr/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.frandroid.com%2Ftopic%2F167696-tuto-flasher-une-rom-officielle-en-kdz%2F&act=url)

Excellent. So since that works without an error, once we get a working CWM we should be set.

Hello guys, wednesday I will have in my hands the G Pad..
I practiced a lot of modding on my N7000, but I've never created anything personal on my smartphone.
I wanted to know what is missing, until now, in order to start modding our G Pad.
LG has released the firmware or am I wrong? What is missing to create custom rom starting from the stock firmware?
thanks :victory:

We're missing recovery. We've got a bootloader workaround with LOKI and we've got the stock source. We just need a working recovery.

thank you for the reply,
so, for example, if coming out a version of CWM you could do it all, in total security (because now you can do the root but do not go back, right?) ?

Is lollipop Temp-Root-able??

Ok, I know this is the m8 thread 1st off. I own a m7, S-off'd, unlocked boot loader, rooted, etc. I have ABSOLUTELY NO ACCESS TO A PC FOR QUITE AWHILE, SO PROBABLY NO ACCESS TO ADB/FASTBOOT for me.
I am prepping for when the Lollisense update comes for the m7, and I have everything figured out as far as getting back to stock (STOCK Rom & recovery, so I'm OTA-READY) & taking the OTA .
Now here is the problem, Once I'm updated to lollipop/Sense, with no access to a pc, is there any TEMP-ROOT that will work? Long story short, plan was to Use something like TowelRoot or Weaksauce 2 to Temp-root JUST LONG ENOUGH TO USE Flashify to flash TWRP back onto the phone and then flash supersu to gain perm-root again.
Now here's my question/ favor to ask anybody with a M8 and on the stock Lollisense Rom- Can anybody test out WeakSauce 2 or TowelRoot to let me know if either of those Will work on lollisense, or does Anybody know the answer to this???
Again, I know this isn't the M7 thread, but the M7 hasn't gotten Lollisense yet, so nobody in our thread can test.
Any help and/or feedback would be EXTREMELY APPRECIATED !

You can flash TWRP using terminal emulator.
Put it in the root of your internal storage (by in the root I mean not in a folder) and rename it to twrp.img
Launch terminal emulator, then type this, hitting enter after each line:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34
You don't need a PC or Towelroot.

Dude If this is true, u just SOLVED my WHOLE PROBLEM..
..But, 1 last question.. I've never had to use a Terminal emulator on the phone, Doesn't it require root access? Or no?
Because once I flash on stock Rom and recovery and then take the ota update, I'll be stock without root and no pc. So if you're saying I can use Terminal Emulator WITHOUT root to flash TWRP so that I'll BE ABLE to flash root , THEN U JUST MADE MY DAY

No you are right. I was having a **puff** and didn't pay attention to your details. The "su" command says it all. I read it, then puffed, then thought "that dude can flash TWRP without a PC!" like an idiot not thinking of you going back to stock/unrooted.

While it might have not been true, you don't need to go back to stock to take the OTA because you are S-Off. That is one of the best features of being S-Off. Go SuperCID and flash the new firmware through hboot or ADB.

That's the WHOLE problem... My kid fried my pc and now have no access to adb or fastboot. Without a pc, I've completely figured out how to get back the stock odex Rom, flashify to flash stock recovery, take OTA, ETC.
BUT, that's where the brick wall comes. Once I take the lollisense update, ill n without root, on STOCK recovery, and won't have any access to adb / fastboot, so I'll not be able to get root back Unless there comes a temp root method that will work on lollisense, (which seems highly unlikely).... Cuz if I have temp root, I could just use it to use flashify to flash TWRP back on , then supersu... Hmmm, hopefully 1 of my m7 brothers will post a rooted lollisense nandroid 4 me

No Permissions In ADB Push Mode?

So I am very new to this phone (obviously) and I had it rooted ASAP, like an idiot. Then I proceeded, when I saw an update, to un-root, then take the update. Error. Ok, well then I look around and see that you should be able to sideload the OTA, but when I try to sideload through the stock recovery it tells me I do not have proper permissions from the device. I have looked around and not seen anything about this, possibly I am blind @[email protected] , I would like to get the update so I can unlock the boot loader. Does anybody know what to do in this situation or ran into the same problem and fixed it? Thanks in advance.

Perhaps T-Mo are just jerks.
OnePlus global firmware and installer doesn't care if you're rooted or not, through 10.0.7 at least. It'll download and install the full ROM image and install.

Did anyone ever manage to take the update here?

Hey guys! I have figured it out. It's the same reason why the McLaren version can't accept a OTA. The reserve.img file is missing due to unlocking the boot loader. I had version 10.0.3 installed and found a un-brick tool to return it back to stock. After that it worked just fine.

You are absolutely correct.. Would you be willing to do a device restore again and pull that reserve.img for us all? We can then make an OTA package for everyone else.

Sim unlock has nothing to do with the bootloader though.

Hey, I also received a notification for this. My concern is that I might lose root access, which I don't want to. I'm assuming I can just boot a 10.0.4 kernel and re-root with magisk, but im nervous. Thanks for the post.

I would be honered to help you.. Can you please tell me what version of OOS your running? And I'm going to assume you are already bootloader unlocked? If so, please visit https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/guide-how-to-root-oneplus-7t-twrp-t3979307
Download one of the patched_boot images and reboot your phone into the bootloader and run "fastboot boot patched_boot.img" (This will give you temp root)
Install magisk manager from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/manager-v7.5.1
Open Magisk and select install. Go thru the install process as this will patch YOUR current boot image.
I'd recommend making a backup of your current boot image before installing the magisk into your current bootimg. You can open an adb shell and do "su" then "dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot_a of=/sdcard/boot_a.img" or "dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot_b of=/sdcard/boot_b.img" depending on if your current slot is A or B.

Do you have IRC or another way to talk to me? I will help you.. The first step is to get your phone NETWORK unlocked(msg XDA member @mobbdeep).. After that, you can request a bootloader unlock from oneplus, then you flash the unlock token.. Then, you boot a modded bootimg. Then install magisk.. If you are on IRC, hit me up on freenode at bynarie. Otherwise, send me a PM.
