Hello everyone, I have LG G3 D851 T-Mobile.
I was on 5.0.1 and wanted to install custom ROM and for this I needed to install custom recovery first so I used Flashify to install TWRP (twrp-3.1.0-0-d851.img) , installation works fine it says installation complete, but when I restart the phone it starts bootloop.
So I restored my phone back to stock (4.4.2), rooted and again repeat flashify process this time again the same issue of bootloop.
Can Anyone here help me in this matter.
Thanks
Ha ha ha. If you had searched/looked here on xda you would know twrp 3.1 does not work only bootloops. Also twrp 3.0.2 is no good either. You should use the unofficial builds. Also a restore is not needed just pull battery for a minute and then it will boot back to the installed rom.

Hi guys,
I am getting DESPERATE here. Because of a mistake, I had to reflash stock LG ROM 50020d 4.4.2. From there, I rooted using geohot's towelroot and used Flashify to flash this TWRP 2.8.0.0 After 128754E10th attempt, it worked. I experienced all kinds of recovery loops when I used files for 4.2.2 base (because someone mentioned it's needed to prevent brightness issue) but it caused my recovery to go into some strange loop. So I reflashed the recovery.
Now I can enter TWRP 2.8.0.0 but I cannot, cannot, cannot flash yesterday's CM11 nightly for my device. When I try, log says:
Code:
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset.
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/cm-11-20141101-NIGHTLY-v500.zip'
Error flashing zip /sdcard/cm-11-20141101-NIGHTLY-v500.zip
Updating partition details
I am truly desperate. I even fixed the name of my device in build.prop to v500 (before it was 'awifi' for some reason) but still no dice.
Please, is there someone to give me some clear instructions? Thanks a lot guys.

Have you tried with another build of CM11? Perhaps the latest milestone? Have you wipe:d all the data and cache and stuff? Can you tell me how you got the TWRP on there? Did it work the first time you flashed the 4.4.2 version? Where you on the latest version of android before rooting?
Thanks for your effor, djmiek.
I managed to fix it yesterday. Nothing was out of ordinary - TWRP 2.8.0.0 (specifically for v500) was flashed using Flashify. Phone was rooted (see my original post) and I wiped everything properly before flashing CM11. However, for some reason there was no way to install nightly from 11/1. Everytime I tried to install, I got aforementioned error message.
So I got fed up with all that and just went and restored my whole tablet to a backup from april (50010b) which I very wisely did just after rooting the brand new device. This reverted TWRP to 2.6.3.2 and as soon as I booted recovery I could install that nightly without any hassle. No incompatible data, no bull like that - everything went smoothly. I don't know if there's a problem with TWRP 2.8.0.0 and current CM11 nightly combo but I sure as hell will stay away from it.
So, the moral of the story - BACKUP any working installation folks! Do not underestimate the power of word "restore". It feels goooood

Is 50010b also 4.4.2 or is it earlier? Did you just flash TWRP with flashify then after rooting?
I think it was 4.4.2.
My initial root after purchase was done according to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05T3mYVnYYE
Everything went smoothly then, but I think you'd achieve the same outcome using Flashify.
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
Hey guys I had a couple questions regarding rooting the opportunity Find 7a. First off I have ColorOS v 2.1.5i and everytime I try to install TWRP onto it nothing happens, even though the computer says it has been flashed successfully. I restart my phone into recovery mode and the oppo recovery is still there. You guys have any ideas?
Also when I had the older version of colorOS, I could install TWRP but then SuperSU would never work. It kept saying the binaries weren't installed properly. Any ideas on that ?
Your guys help would be appreciated since I really wna root this phone
Thanks
Try fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img it should boot directly into twrp then
I couldn't root my phone in Color Os 2.0.8i untill i reflashed the rom and installed latest twrp then it asked me for root and i pressed ok.
Yea I tried what jthatch12 told me do and it worked and superSu finally installed properly
hey guys,
still had carbonrom 4.4 on my z1c and wanted to update to a blisspop
mistake #1: I made a backup with cwm
well, overall i couldnt get myself used to 5.1 so i wanted to get back to my beloved kk rom.
but blisspop put cm recvoery on my z1c. i tried to install dual recovery but it didnt work due to footer failure. so i first installed twrp and my next step was to install dual recovery so i could recover my nandroid backup with cwm. but now i cant boot into cwm anymore. everytime i try it through ndr utility, rom manager it boots into twrp.
any help?

Aroma installer for kernel including cwm, (you should be able to flash via twrp) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...ent/ub-root-recovery-busybox-lolipop-t3085479 IMG of same idea - http://forum.xda-developers.com/son.../cwm-recovery-kernel-deactivated-ric-t2814708
Make sure you restore your backup once you get cwm, don't try to boot your current ROM after flashing these kernels
Hello guys
First I own a lg ls980(sprint version) it was on jelly bean when I got it but last year I rooted it and installed twrp(using freegee since autorec caused sofbrick to my phone) then I flashed cm12.1(android 5.1.1) and everything worked fine
Yesterday I decide to flashed cm13 or any other marshamellow based ROM so I found a post on xda (https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g2/help/sprint-lg-g2-ls980-how-to-install-cm13-t3273187) that said that the bootstack are different and I have to install bumped twrp(blastegator) and a hybrid bootstack(https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/boot-g2-hybrid-bootstacks-t3183219) so I installed bumped twrp first and everything was OK but after I installed the bootstack my phone bricked ( I got secure booting error ) I was unable to boot neither in recovery or system so I had to unbrick my phone (forcing qbulk mode and using skr tool) and reflashed a stock ROM and installed twrp and cm12.1 again
Everything work fine but I really want to to upgrade to cm13 so what should I do about the bootstack (I am sure that the problem is because of the bootstack because I tried twice and in both case my phone brick after I install the hybrid bootstack and before I install cm13)
Thanks in advance for your help
Follow this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g2/general/ls980-lollipop-update-root-sim-unlock-t3357837
Then root and install bumped TWRP from blastegator.
That's should be enough to install custom roms. Since you flashed stock ROM, your EFS partition is likely cleared and destroyed and can no longer be activated.
