So I'm part of the 4.4.4 soak for Sprint. I have the file, but it wants me to have stock recovery to install. I'm currently running stock ROM, rooted, with the latest version of TWRP.
Is there any way for me to edit the update zip so it'll run on TWRP, or do I have to go back to stock recovery?
I will upload the file to Dropbox if anyone wants to play around with it.
Questions go in q&a section. But to answer your question you need to flash your stock recovery if you want to take OTA.

I would like it so I can build a flashable.
To be 100% safe.... I would reflash the current firmware you are on. It will put it back to 100% stock, and keep your bootloader unlocked if it already is. Problem with modifying scripts is that it takes FOREVER and can cause more harm then good. There are so many file checksums in the stock installer-script. Much easier IMO to flash back to 100% stock. Just save all everything off your SD so you can reinstall most things later, as you will lose everything when you flash back to stock.
I typically follow THIS procedure, it's super simple.
I would like him to have it too..

Ok I attempted to flash the new Rom to his latest update. Would not boot up, pretty much stayed at the Cmod screen. Good news for me i had a older 4.2.2 rom on the unit still and was able to revert back to that.
I noticed that he said I should update TWRP. How in the world do I do that?
I have installed the file, but I can not figure out how to actually update to the latest TWRP. Some help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Flash the twrp file like if it was a rom and then reboot, thats it

Download the most recent TWRP from Hascodes thread as he modifies them so they work on our Kindle Fire HD's. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848 Then use your FireFlash app and flash TWRP in the recover.img just like the first time only don't tick or check any other boxes. It's easy as 1,2,3.
Any idea what this error means? Something about youtube apk which I'm not aware of being installed after factory reset.

You have a missing file that the OTA was attempting to update. If you have unlocked your phone in the past it will sometimes delete those files. Search for the files and install them, then try the OTA again.
Do you mean search for youtube.apk on the web and put it in the system/app folder?
Thanks.
Anybody?

2 problems with your image, your phone doesnt look stock, you must be 100% stock to update, not rooted, no modifications, no missing stock apps, 2nd problem looks like your using the wrong stock recovery, but I could be wrong about this one.
only solution, do you have a stock backup you can restore ? as there is no RUU or files I can find for your phone.

This in fact is a stock backup from previous OTA, nothing has changed. I have been doing it this way for the last three updates and never had an issue.
Stock recovery image was extracted form this update maybe I'll try the previous version If I can find it.
Hi XDA Members,
I was trying to return my G2 to Stock, in the process I mistakenly installed the T-Mobile firmware onto my Verizon Phone. The phone restarts every 10 secs and has no working wifi/4g.
I no longer have TWRP installed, nor any other recovery mode apparently (?), I'm now unrooted, but I can access download mode.
My computer has LG's General G2 drivers installed, the Verizon G2 drivers installed, and I have access to the LG Flash Tool. Everytime I try to use it, it is saying that it can not connect to server, please try another time. I've got the Stock Firmware download as both a kdz and a tot file.
I know I shouldn't have made such an oversight, installing the wrong firmware. But I would be most grateful if someone could assist!
Thanks in advance
I just came upon this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/help/fix-recover-installing-t-mobile-rom-t3068517 which is telling me to edit the tot, changing from VVS980 to a VD801(00).
Would this be the way to do that? (10th line from the top, at the right) Thanks again

Try this thread. I had some issues installing a custom rom on a g2 I recently purchased and I had to go back to stock courtesy of a kdz file. Got my phone back to stock 4.4.2 it came with in about 10 minutes after using LG flash tool 2014. With the lg flash tool 2014 you will still get the cannot connect to server issue but it will still update your phone so just ignore it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
On 5.1.1 build LMY48T
When I received this phone on 16Nov I tried to let do the update to MM. It would D/L but fail in updating. (Just reboot after each try) I went ahead with 5.1.1 in unlocking and rooting with no problem. tried to allow it to update date again as it has been requesting and it now justs boots into TWRP. I wish to upgrade to MM but am stymied. Need Guru assistance.
First time around it might have been a corrupt download. Now it's because you're rooted and have TWRP installed. To be able to update through OTA your system needs to be fully stock.
To update now you need to flash a factory image (plenty of guides if you search). I recommend using fastboot, but you could also use a toolkit (Nexus Root Toolkit). If you don't want to wipe your phone, leave out the userdata image when flashing (or the "no wipe"-mode in NRT).
I did search but I have to admit I got alittle confused as there seemed to be different factory versions available. I did do updates to my Note 2 until they sneakily locked the bootloader on me (verizon Bastages) I will look at the guides more throughly now to educate myself better. Thank for the guidance.
Which one?

Either of them will work, bu to save you time, get the latest (MRA58R) because it's just going to prompt you to install those.
Following the advice my N6 is rocking MM and rooted. Thanks to all.
Awesome! Glad you got it working!
See pics. After unlocking I get a custom Android boot screen and the phone will not read any SIM. Appreciate if someone knows how to reverse this. Running Android 5.0 (can't root, install custom recovery, flash, or update from external storage).

WTH?
Did you unlock the bootloader?

No. AT&T and Verizon lock the bootloader starting with Android 5. I did find that the baseband version is "unkown", which is why the radio is not working or reading a SIM. See picture.
Hmmm
So your ril got corrupted some how is what it looks like to me.
What is "ril" the acronym for?
In any event, where can I get a stock 5.0 or higher ROM that I can hopefully flash from my sd card. All I'm seeing is 4.4.2. Apparently, the AT&T updates are OTA.
Hmmm
I'm out of town right now and can't find one on xda. Try sammobile.com. Don't try ro flash it via sdcard. Odin or adb sideload would be the way to go. I would also suggest rebooting into the built in recovery and resetting it that way.
Thank you. for the suggestions. Before posting the original thread I tried a factory re-set (volume up + home + power), as well as Odin, and neither worked.
AT&T has the bootloader locked tight on Android 5.0 and above.
Yes
That is unfortunately true. Where did you buy the phone? And do you live in the states?
Use Triangle Away apk.
It's US stock, original AT&T device. Worked fine with the exception of poor battery life after the 5.0 OTA upgrade untilit was unlocked.
