and now I am a step away from installing a custom recovery but which one and how? I have checked here a lot but some say use Freegee to do the rest but freegee hangs up and goes into a constant reboot so I had to install 10P all over again. Which recovery is to be installed and how? Any links to flashable recoveries would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Which phone are you using and which rom? If your using stock rom, jb is the easiest to root and install the recovery with freegee. Make sure you have root, and installed the busybox before you use freegee.

I have the G Pro and the 10P ROM. I installed everything as you said and rooted the phone with towelroot, installed busybox and then freegee but no dice. Thanks.
You can download cwm flashable image for lg flash tool from clockworkmod's web site. Is 10p the stock kk? You need 10g which is the stock JB and go from there.

I have an i747M, from Fido (rogers) running the stock 4.3 firmware. yesterday i tried to root it using odin to install CWM, and then CWM to install supersu.
after successfully installing supersu, i restarted the phone, and got knox blocking the app. i updated it from Play, but then i couldn't open it, and it said it can't install the binary. when my phone asked to update the security certificates, i (stupidly) agreed.
i downloaded the .zip for supersu 1.89, and tried installing that, with the same result, but this time i also can't uninstall supersu.
i've bumped my binary counter, but i'm back to basically stock now.
my goal is to install aokp. is there a way to do it without gaining root first?
if i install CWM through odin, can i flash the aokp rom from CWM?
will the phone reset the recovery?
is this risky?
You could try installing a pre-rooted Rogers rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
I was not able to find a pre-rooted 4.3 for Fido and, since you intend to install a custom rom and recovery, the pre-rooted Rogers ROM might be a good place to start.
It's there a reason to install a rooted rom before aokp? As far as I can tell, I can install aokp without rooting at all.
or am I missing something?

Yes, you can just install a custom ROM without rooting first.
I mentioned the prerooted ROM because you post said you wanted to install su.
Ok, please confirm i have this procedure correct:
1. i use Odin to install CWM
2. boot straight into CWM
3. from inside CWM, i flash the AOKP zip file, and then the gapps zip file
my understanding is that this will keep cwm as my recovery and install aokp with gapps.
am i missing anything?

Just make sure you flash a tar version of CWM that is meant for your phone.
I can't really speak about 4.3 because I'm on 4.1.2 but the method you described is the same method I used.

If you want to kill Konx to enable root you can flash this knox removal script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507931
If you are just going to flash AOKP via CWM, this may not be necessary, but this is the answer to your Knox problem.
So I updated to stock 4.3(I747M) via Odin, then flashed TWRP with Odin, then Flashed a 4.4 ROM with TWRP.
The Super SU app is failing to update the binary. And it's not giving root access to apps. Does this have anything to do with the MK5 bootloader?
I can't seem to find a fix? If someone could point me in the right direction, that'd be great.
Thanks!
Try flashing a another ROM such a Validus or CM11 as ROMs are pre-rooted.
Also, I prefer Philz Touch over TWRP. Maybe the recovery program makes a difference?

I did this procedure with the same bootloader on a Koodo phone, no problem. I I rooted and installed TWRP 2.6.3.1 and then I flashed Quantum ROM. Which ROM did you flash? (Oh, I see now you tried OmniRom.) Only difference with how I did it is I had already taken the stock OTA from Koodo.

Yeah I bricked my phone messing with bootloaders...used an SD boot image to get to download mode and odined stock 4.3. Odined twrp. Twrp flashed omni's latest build. Does omni not come prerooted? That doesn't make much sense. I'll try another ROM.
It should also be noted I tried rooting stock 4.3 but it really didn't like that at all.

Weird that you don't have root. I have Validus and apps like root explorer ask for root access which I can grant.
Maybe the 4.3 bootloader is causing a problem?

Yeah, this whole thing is weird. I had the 4.3 bootloader (rooted at end of Dec 2013) and didn't have an issue. I went to Quantum ROM FWIW. Have you tried a full wipe (system, cache, dalvik, data) with a clean flash of the ROM?
I received the OTA ZVC update last week and was currently rooted and had TWRP installed at the time. I reflashed the stock rom using the LG Flash tool and went through three updates to eventually wind up at Kitkat, when I was using the stock ZVA rom I was able to use IORoot 25 to root my phone and then use FreeGee to install TWRP later on. Now that I'm on ZVC Official I can still use IORoot25 to root my phone but can not seem to get a custom recovery to stick, anybody else figure this out?
You need a downgraded aboot and kernel.

There's a new method to install twrp without breaking download mode , once you're on ZVC rooted with ioroot25, download the new app by @Cloudyfa http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51857807 which would install twrp and you will still be able to use download mode if you have to!

Also, you can just flash the ZVC TOT. You don't need to flash an old TOT and work your way to current. I was on ZV7 rooted and went straight to ZVC TOT.

I just did what IORoot25 and the AutoRec. I'm with sprint and just got the phone. What can I do with this KK release? Can I install camera update or try out kernels? There seems to be no roms for this ZVC update.
So, I do I determine which kernel is patched to work with ZVC? since AutoRec is patched, there must be other patched Kernels out there. Just a noob right now.

KitKat just came out, developers are hard at work breaking things down so it is safe to flash. Lg did some things making it tougher and a lot of internal changes.
Kernel, only other available is furnace 2.0.

Does anyone know what to do once download mode is broken? I have progressed between the "stuck in recovery mode" problem, then the fastboot only problem, and now while getting download mode to actually show on screen instead of fastboot i have broken my download mode with fastboot-ing zvc files to the phone. Any ideas on getting this back in a programmable state? I'm on a windows 8.1 x64 machine.

Try the auto-rec for your model here on post 1,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
I'm on Sprint ls980, and no issues. This will fix boot, kernel, recovery, and download mode.
If you get white lines, us the fix @Cloudyfa has posted to get back. This puts you back to how it was before the program. No recovery and locked boot and stock kernel.

So I finally got the official KitKat uptade from LG for LG-E977 model, and the device will be completely stock. How do I root the device in KK? Towelroot, Framaroot? How do I root and unlock the bootloader after rooting, is it the same as with stock JellyBean? Thanks in advance.
edit: Neither Framaroot neither Towelroot worked, but someone suggested ioroot and it worked fine. Link:

After this, just download SuperSU from Play Store and then Freegee to install stock CWM recovery.
I have a rooted Nexus 7 with TWRP recovery. I received the update message today for the Lollipop OTA update and when I ran it the phone restarted to TWRP and just sat there? What do I need to do to get this update installed? Do I need to put stock recovery back on? If so what's the easiest way to do that? Thanks!
Easiest way would to be to flash the stock recovery. I don't even bother with flashing TWRP, I boot into it with fastboot when needed.
Thanks, where can i get the stock recovery img from?

You need to flash the stock rom for Nexus 7 (2013). By doing so, TWRP recovery will be replaced with the stock recovery. Note: All your installed apps and data will be removed.
The paid Flashify app offers stock recoveries.

The easiest way to get the 5.0.1 update without losing apps or data is to download the stock, rooted rom from Scrosler found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex.../rom-factory-stock-rooted-rom-lrx22c-t2960745 , use Wugfresh's NRT 1.9.9 to update the bootloader listed in Scrosler's post, and then dirty flash (wipe Dalvik and cache if you want) the 5.0.1 rom with TWRP. Painless and fast with no loss of data or anything.
Thanks for the replies. Think I will try Flashify as it seems the easiest solution.
