I have downloaded a TWRP 2.7 flashable zip. The official instructions on the TWRP site talk about using a .img file, but they don't have a 2.7 img for vs980.
Many threads mention some images are Lokified, others are not, I'm not sure how to install.
This is a new G2 with 12B that I'm going to root with IORoot 25, how can I get TWRP installed on it as well, preferably in same adb session?
Thanks
Is this the right way?
flash older 2.6.3.2 img using Flashify
reboot into recovery
flash 2.7 zip
Is there a faster way to do this?
Can someone please help?

Root with ioroot
Flashify has its own download section, I would download the .IMG file in the app, just to make sure you have the correct one.
Follow directions in flashify.
I just did this with cwm and it worked, it might have the latest twrp to flash in the app.

If you just want the easiest method, do this:
Extract twrp.lok from this thread. (first download twrp.zip...the .lok file is in there) Rename the extension to img. Flash that with flashify. Then flash this in recovery. You should now be on twrp 2.7 loki'd for 12b. :good:
Credit for that procedure goes to JRJ442...i just explained his steps from here.

Will this method work if I already have TWRP 2.6.3.3? My goal is: get to TWRP 2.7 but tried to go into TWRP and flash the "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-vs980.zip", it tells me I can't because it can't find "/tmp/loki.sh" (couldn't capture exact message). Currently I'm on 12B.
thanks

Yeah the official that you tried doesn't have the correct Loki patch for 12B. Thats why it throws that message. All the ones I made for VS980 are patched to work on 11A or 12B. Just click on "This" a few posts up. That goes to my Dropbox. The zip is Stock-TWRP2.7-VS980. Just flash in recovery, then reboot recovery and it'll be 2.7
Or if you have Flashify you can download and install 2.7 through that.
These one click tools worked for me. I went from 12b + stock recovery to twrp 2.7 with just a few clicks. I used it yesterday. Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2713954

You can root 12b with ioroot19. Bootloader is locked so use freegee to install twrp recovery.

why are people answering such an old question? I've had it rooted, modded, and have installed cyanogenmod plenty of times since this question was posted back in january
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
Because once the KitKat OTA goes live by VZ (could happen, right?), there would be no way to get on the 12B bootstack (no TOT or KDZ). Right now it seems that most of the devs work with the OTA leak will involve the 12B bootstack. You can always go back to 10b or 11a through the tot method. You might not be able to go back if you take an official VZ KitKat update (could happen right??)
Idk maybe I'm wrong. Just my FUD.

Hi Guys,
I have a Samsung Note for Tmobile, the t879 model. I had it rooted and the person installed cwm version 5.5.0.4. I would like to update it to the latest version for my device which seems to be 6.0.4.3 (according to cwm website).
The reason i want to update is because I want to, at some point, install custom jelly bean/kitkat/other rom. I've had some issues attempting to install custom jelly bean rom already.
I tried Rom Manager and my device is not supported, plus i've read several threads that suggest not using rom manager anyway.
I think from what I think i've gathered so far, i have to flash a custom cwm kernel?
Is that correct?
Is there a tutorial somewhere that caters to my device.
Where might I find this kernel, if that's what i need to do.
Can my existing cwm install newer cwm (doubt it but it's worth a shot asking)
Any advice, comments, or general counsel you can offer is appreciated, i'm going on 3 days of searching
You guys are great, I've enjoyed reading your threads and look forward to any help you can offer.
The updated cwm is on the cwm web site, but it is in img format, which means you have to use adb on the command line to overwite your current recovery with the new one.
I took a flashable zip from another phone and replaced the img file inside with the tmobile one and that is what I use. Here it is if you want to use it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bx_IbXnhPXBJRlFxR0VlSXVhRTQ/edit?usp=sharing
Make sure you know and pay attention to what you are doing, screwing up the recovery will be a bad day.
Jellybean roms use TWRP recovery. http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/113
Some have had better luck with 2.5.0.0, but the latest version should work also.
You need to have a copy of twrp and a copy of cwm on your sdcard so that you can go back and forth between jellybean and kitkat, if that is what you want.
Do your system wipe/factory reset in the recovery that you will use to flash. So going to Kitkat, first reboot into recovery, do a full backup of everything, then flash the cwm zip, then reboot into cwm recovery, then do factory reset, then flash your rom zip, then flash THE CORRECT GAPPS, then you can reboot.
Going back, same thing. Recovery, backup, flash twrp, reboot, recover your backup.
Gapps are important, there are 2 different jellybean gapps one for 4.3 and one for 4.4 Kitkat, be sure you flash the right ones or, you will just get an error, or you will get errors when starting up, either way it won't work. http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps
This thread is where you get the 4.4 Kitkat gapps, full package is fine, just be sure it is the 4.4 one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
Read the ATT forum also as the device is the same, but don't flash ATT roms unless you are using the patch. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573315
Lot to read and understand and lots of files to get on your sdcard before you proceed. Good luck.
I can tell your post will be a super helpful resource, thank you for that.
I took a flashable zip from another phone and replaced the img file inside with the tmobile one and that is what I use. Here it is if you want to use it
are these my options, basically I can either override cwm with an adb command or flash the rom you shared above? I'm just a little unclear on that?

Yes. Here is the clockworkmod download page. Scroll down for the tmobile note: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Look in the "recovery" column, click on the one for tmobile and you get a recovery.img file.
To get the adb instructions to install it, you have to go to the TWRP page for this device: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/113
"You can use adb or terminal emulator to install the following image:
adb push openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-sgh-879.img /sdcard
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.x.x of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22"
So you can do the same thing with the recovery.img from the clockworkmod page.
Now download the zip I gave you, verify that the recovery.img inside is the same as the one on the clockworkmod page. Do an md5 on it to check, pretty sure its the same version. Check the updater script, it is the same command as above. Also, I believe the original post in the "patch" thread that I linked you to has a flashable zip file for clockworkmod as well.
Either of the zips you just flash in your current recovery. Much easier and less room for making a really unfortunate mistake.

I think the adb method is a bit to advanced for me at the moment. I'd be happy if I could just get Jelly Bean going, I'm on ics at the moment.
I will put updating cwm on hold for now. Can you install twrp with odin or goomanager when cwm is installed? Are there any special considerations?
Thanks man
Of course the adb stuff is not the best way to go about it. Just use the flashable zip. Or install goo manager and allow it to install it. Check the twrp link that I gave to you. Instructions are there. I can upload a twrp zip a little later.

Are you on 12B? I don't think the official TWRP is Loki patched for 12B. I patched one to work on both 11A and 12B if you want the link. I've read you can also just extract the recovery IMG from the zip and flash it with Flashify if you wanna try that.

You have 2.6.3.3 installed now right? If so just flashing mine in recovery will work fine. No need to dd them, probably wouldn't work anyway because in order to to change images in the ramdisk, I have to un-Loki them. Loki'd images can't be unpacked. So after I make changes, I repack and place them in a zip with a Loki patch that works on 11a or 12b. So mine are just to be flashed in recovery.

I think that's because you tried to flash an unloki'd image. Try flashing this one with Flashify https://www.dropbox.com/s/meddqewk6muv8p5/twrp.img. Its preloki'd and version 2.6.3.3 or.4, if it works you can just flash any of the ones from my thread in recovery to update to 2.7. There's a stock on there too if you don't want a themed one.

Try wiping app data on Flashify. And make sure its granted root access.
If all else fails you can try to dd the twrp.img I linked. I don't get why Flashify isn't working though. I've never had that issue. I had someone in my S3 thread that kept having Flashify issues. He used this app and it worked. You could try it too https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools

But in my case the AutoREC can't flash those 24A, 24A, 12A/B ... in zip format ... all ERROR can't read ZIP file....
You got any idea where I could get the working VS98026A Stock ROM?
THank in advance

Autorec doesn't use a zip, it just does the behind the scene things needed to flash TWRP then flashes it. Can you clarify what you're trying to do?

As far as I could see that latest AUTORec.apk installation is now included with TWRP already. After rooted my phone, installed AUTOREC, grant root and flashing customer recovery image straight aways, I could flash some ZIP file but not those ROM such VS98011A, VS98024A, VS98026A, etc all return FAIL - Can't Read Zip file. But I from AutoREC recovery menu, I could install Spirit ROM.zip and others.
Why only those stock ROM in zip format are FAIL to be flashed from within AUTOREC/TWRP ????

Autorec flashes TWRP, that's it, once in recovery you're just using TWRP. You can delete Autorec from your phone after you're done flashing TWRP. Anyway, you can't install stock releases via TWRP unless a dev modifies one to be flashed. Care to point to one of the zip's you're trying to flash?

Yes, AutoRec will work just fine. I've used it plenty of times on 26A.

Where you able to flash the latest 2.8.1.0 Twrp zip after using AutoRec?

If I recall correctly, AutoRec doesn't have the most up-to-date recovery built-in. I just flashed the latest afterward.

Correct, AutoRec comes with 2.7.0.0. I tried upgrading Twrp by flashing the latest Twrp zip and it failed. I guess it's just my device. I looked for the 2.8.1.0. Img file but couldn't find it.

Thanks but that's not the most current. 2.8.0.1 is in the bootstack.. i don't get why the 2.8.1.0 zip fails when I flash.. I guess I might have to try the bumped one.

That works but kills the front one too.
I flashed the rom, bootstack, and supsersu (in that order) and I get a kernel crash when booting.
"kernel panic - not syncing L2 master port error detected"
Any ideas?

Alright I did that but its been on the Verizon boot animation for over 20 minutes now. Is something still wrong?
Do I have to have anything installed that wasn't mentioned in the post?
Thanks

U full wipe?
Am I missing it or is knock code still not here? Is it in the manual ota method or neither? Any ways thanks for the Rom because grola was starting to mess up.
So, I'm on the forced OTA 39A and everything is running great, I also just rooted it using this method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
Anyway to install TWRP onto this yet? I did a stupid thing and installed AutoRec and flashed recovery just to try it, and it worked fine. Until I rebooted out of recovery, then I got the dreaded LG Security Error. So I had to restore back to 27A and go back to 39A.

This is a bit of a guess, so proceed at your own risk, but could you use AutoRec to install recovery, then once in recovery, flash the 39A bootstack from this thread, which also contains a bumped TWRP? I'm thinking the patched kernel that AutoRec installs is what's breaking things
Don't do this. Doesn't work

Well, I just spent the last few hours re-setting up my device again, but I'll try it. Might as well, if it doesn't work I'll just re-do everything again lol. I wish I would of known that the bootstack for 39A was available, I would of tried it then but oh well. Will let you know how it goes.

Nope, just tried it. After installing the recovery then the bootstack I restart and I get secure booting error boot certification verify and the only thing I can do is get back into recovery, so no good.

Well thanks for being the guinea pig at least. In retrospect, AutoRec loki's your boot.img, but those bootstack zips don't include a bumped boot.img (since they are rom specific I think) so you get the security error still. I'll leave this up to the experts from now on

You're welcome, not a problem! I see, I have all the partitions of this ROM including boot.img, maybe if I name it update.zip and flash it via TWRP I can get it to boot? I think I'll try it...It's worth a shot.

All else fails, and you still want to be the closest to stock 39a with root and recovery, I suppose you could just wipe, flash the 27A bootstack, flash this 39A ROM, then flash the 39A bootstack (should't need to KDZ or anything assuming you're still able to get into TWRP). According to this post the differences in this rom and stock are the basically the components that we couldn't pull before root was available, but now they're availabe and in that bootstack zip - once again, no guarantees though, I think I'll try to be patient and wait for the devs to release something

You can't install the recovery because you need the 4.4 aboot. You can adb the the 27A aboot.img through a terminal on your pc or on your phone, then adb blastagator's recovery, and you will be able to have recovery. I'm running twrp no problems right now.
EDIT:
Need a bumped boot.img too. I was bootlooping until I applied one.

Thanks for this.
So I need to be on rooted 39A and then adb flash aboot.img and then adb flash recovery? And any help for a bumped boot.img? I've only had my LG G2 about 2 weeks. Thank you.

Where did you get the bumped boot.img from? Also, all the bootloader files in the resource thread are bins, not imgs, does that matter?
To get to stock rooted 39A with TWRP, it sounds like the process is:
-manually apply 39A OTA
-root using new exploit
-push 27A (or 28A) aboot
-push bumped 39A boot.img
-push TWRP

Yeah, either 27A or 28A (confirmed by xdabbeb) should work. I bumped the 39A boot image myself (not hard to do, the info. is readily available on how to do it).
Just change the .bin to .img.
Here is the boot image (adb push it, not a flash file): http://www.mediafire.com/download/pele8oikzesdn39/bumped_boot-image.zip
MD5Sum (of zip file): 6b1f793cdf00db3ef52d1fd08f7b3af2
MD5Sum (of boot.img itself): b4254d5aebe30ad4f1d5e924f45e9bff
