Hi there. I've been trying to install Cyanogen 11 on my Optimus G and it's been nothing but trouble. I get root no problem but then when I put a either TWRP or CWM recoveries on the phone, it refuses to boot past the LG logo and I have to do a complete refresh with LGNPST. Does anyone have any ideas why it would fail like this? I've tried two difference versions of TWRP and CWM and nothing works. Further, if I try to install a custom rom through the new recovery, it just fails after completion (ie I upload the .zip file, tell it to install, and it runs and then fails).
So, it's driving me a little crazy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm sick of being stuck on the Sprint build of 4.1.2.
Thanks!

After you root your phone, you must unlock your boot loader with Freegee first. Install that app from marget and unlock with Mako method. You cannot install custom recovery in locked boot loader.

Hi everyone,
I just got my G Pro a couple days ago. I've been trying to read up as much as I can on the phone. I bought the phone used. It's on the V10k firmware (value pack or whatever they call it) and it was rooted, but I never did check to see if it had a custom recovery installed. Now, I installed FreeGee from the Play Store and had it flash TWRP 2.6.1. Installed successfully. But, when I reboot the phone, and I push a button to enter recovery mode, it takes me to CWM 6.0.2.8 by 985hPaKick v1. To top it off, if I "reboot recovery" from within CWM, or if I use "adb reboot recovery," it'll take me to TWRP. Anybody have a clue what's happening, or is this normal and I'm just not hip to it yet? I would've figured that if CWM was on here originally and I didn't know it, flashing TWRP would've just overwritten CWM. I'd like to be able to flash custom ROMs and such but I've never had this occur to me with an Android before, and I'm not trying to brick this thing. Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Im new to the LG world also. I dont know how this happened but if you flash back to stock via LG flash tool then reroot. You can Freegee a recovery over the stock one just reflashed. When I flashed the TWRP recovery the touch screen was dead(when in recovery mode) so I reflahed CWM over it with Freegee and it worked. Hope this helps
Thanks bud, I'll give it a try.
Hi. I have flashed a E980 KDZ to my F240K. It is going fine, then I rooted it, installed CWM, flashed Philz Touch, Flashed a Custom ROM, then rebooted, then I keep getting booted to the recovery. I tried many times to reboot, to no avail. Can anyone help me? Any help and solution will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Got the same Problem.... Only Recovery is loading and nothing more cant flash custom roms .... always error .... maybe bootloader brick ???
try this:
download and install the Hacked TWRP. reboot to recovery. Once in TWRP reboot to system. Say yes when prompted to fix root. That should get you out of the recovery bootloop.
N00b needing some help. It seems I have corrupted the recovery on my rooted G3 VS985. Used TWRP Manager to flash TWRP. Followed the app's instructions, installed BusyBox, applied the KitKat/Lollipop patch, went ahead and flashed. Booting into recovery just gives me a black screen and blinking blue and red LEDs. Since I'm not an expert, I'm a little paranoid to continue.
If I use bump to flash TWRP, will that wipe the corrupted file and flash a working version of TWRP (assuming I don't eff it up)? I've also seen root methods for the G3 that install TWRP as well. If I unroot and reroot with one of those methods with a bum recovery, will I brick my device? Sorry for the n00b questions, and I appreciate the help!
Look at here forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/apk-flash-twrp-autorec-thanks-to-t3081396
I have d851, looking for another alternate solution for the corrupted recovery. please help.
Same issue
Same question here also. Updated twrp from twrp manager playstore app now when i enter recovery i get black screen and boot security error. Other than that i can go to download mode easily and can boot my device to android cloudy g3 without a hitch the only problem is that i can no longer use recovery
Dear All,
Here's the problem:
The Goal: To Install CM-12.1 Custom ROM
What I have done:
1. Installed TWRP Recovery Manager and no matter how many times I tried, was unable to install TWRP Recovery
2. Installed Flashify, not possible to install TWRP, CWM or any other recovery!
3. Installed Rashr and finally was able to get PhilZ Touch 6 Recovery installed on the phone.
Rebooted to recovery and it's working! Great!
Now, I have the CM-12.1 zip file on the external SD card but can't flash the ROM no matter how many times I try. Yes, I did wipe factory reset and all the wipes possible, NOT ABLE TO INSTALL the Custom ROM.
The real problem now is that before I tried installing the custom ROM, I accidentally made a mistake, a really bad one too.
When my phone was starting normally, in Flashify (or Rashr, I don't remember now) I selected the downloaded TWRP recovery image for Kernel and rebooted the phone. Yes, a dumb move, I know, but for some stupid reason I did that! And now the phone won't start!!!
Getting this msg:
Set Warranty Bit: kernel
Plus, when I boot into Philz Touch 6 recovery, not able to install ROM or do anything else either.
I managed to install Aroma File Manager, and deleted some of the twrp recovery images, but still getting the kernel error.
Also, in Philz Touch recovery, I have done something wrong and I think I may have lost ROOT access. Tried several times to Re-Root Super SU but it says now install Super SU from the Market. How can I install Super SU from market if I cannot get the phone to start in the first place.
Anyway, if anyone knows how to fix these issues or has experienced similar problems, please share the steps you took to solve the problem.
All the help is appreciated!
Thanks vey much in advance!!!
P.S. Please write in comments if any screen capture is needed.
BOOTLOOP!
If anyone can, please help, I can't use my phone for over a week now!!!
the phone is stuck in bootloop!
the recovery I was using apparently wasn't the right version for my gt-i9192 and for some stupid reason it thought that my phone is gt-i9190!!! i was using twrp 3.0.0.0 serrano3gxx by the way. and i could not install the custom rom, the right rom for gt-i9192... because the recovery thinks my phone is gt-i9190... stupid right
so i installed openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.0-serranodsxx-STABLE-signed zip file using the twrp recovery itself. and now i can't even go to recoery mode!!! WOW!! I think i ****ed up this phone big time!!!
i know there was a warning to not install the recovery using the recovery itself, but i didn't have a choice.
i did that because Odin is not working for my phone!! can't install anything with odin...
it just gets stuck and never finishes the flash. can't install anything with odin, nothing at all. just gets stuck!!
so now the problem is this stupid bootloop and on top of that i can't even get the phone to start the recovery, when I try, it goes back to this bootloop problem. by the way this is the bootloop msg:
Set Warranty Bit : kernel IN YELLOW COLOUR and the phone logo: Samsung Galaxy S4 mini GT-I9192
Hello guys, I have a problem with my phone. I need to install a custom recovery in my LG F240k but when I install one recovery my phone brick. I tried to install twrp and philz recovery but when I install and I restart my phone, my phone only start in recovery mode or show me the error "error boot certification verification". I think the error is because I don't have the phone with bootloader open and also I need help to unlock the bootloader. I use the app "freegee" but i don't have the model e980 and this program show me a error. I have LG F240K model, android 4.4.2 and software version "F240K20H". I don't use android 5.1 because the recoverys and tutorials working in android 4.4 and when I install custom recovery I make the wipes. Also I need help with the vibration of the phone, I can delete complety the vibration of my phone, editing the build.pro maybe?
Someone help me? Thank you for the answers :fingers-crossed:

You're on KitKat, FreeGee isn't working with KitKat aboot and never will. Use GPRO recovery apk from forums (if you can't find it in forums, tell me, I'll upload it somewhere, but really try finding it on forums first) to flash compatible recovery, then flash from freegee or simply flash twrp with flashify. Or even better, flash stock jellybean and use freegee on it.
About vibration issue, I don't understand. You want to completely disable it? Just go in notification settings and uncheck vibrations and haptic feedback everywhere you see it.
