If you have odexed FW with some mods that is the results.
Deodex and this upgrading appear only at first boot.

Download this deodexed zip for the DDULP8 firmware, flash it via CWM.

Sorry no idea about that, I have never used TWRP in my whole life, been using CWM since the beginning of times.
Well you can try it using TWRP, backup first and then try, might work.

CWM & TWRP flashable every deodexed roms.

[Q] Can't just replace TWRP with Stock 12b Recovery?

Can someone point me to a thread that explains why someone on rooted stock 12b with TWRP can't simply flash a stock recovery to get the OTA? No one seems to be doing it, or even talking about doing it. Not knowing why is driving me crazy!! Thanks guys

Yup can do it as long as nothing else is modified but most people who root modify system,files. I did exactly what you're saying except a little different. I used flashify to back up stock recovery, then I flashed twrp and when kitkat came I restored to suck recovery uninstalled xposed framework and manually installed kitkat. Then I used Autorec to install twrp again and backed up recovery worth flashify first. This time though I forgot to backup the kernel too because Autorec modifies it. So now I'll probably have to kdz to stock uhh f a later update comes unless there's a flashible zip for it.

I found a repository here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48794341&postcount=4
When I renamed the 12b version from .bin to .img and flashed with Flashify, it factory reset my phone and even wiped internal storage. So I restored my nandroid (that I'd backed up externally), then flashed the 11a version. That installed on my 12b phone successfully.
The OTA then errors out with 0x1111004.
Upgrade Assistant tries but fails to detect the phone in ethernet mode.
In download mode the phone is detected but PC displays "Authentication fail"
I can't recall doing any mods outside of g2xposed and I've uninstalled the framework but maybe I did?
Was recovery was updated when 12b rolled out?
I'll try to dig up an earlier nandroid of my system partition and see if I can rule out other mods. Ideas welcome, thanks

Critical Problem!!!

My Device is LG G Flex D958. It was rooted and also installed cwm recovery by Freedom Flex application. I wanted to update system software through OTA but after downloading 611 Mb OTA data, when started to install the OTA update it is stuck on cwm recovery. I have tried to wipe data/ factory reset but nothing happen. just stuck on cwm recovery. I want to flash the stock rom again but I could not able to enter even download mode. Download Up or Downlod down what ever button I press with power button, by all the way phone just gone cwm recovery and stuck on it.

Dont you have a nandroid backup in cwm? If stuck in cwr then just restore your backup

Yeah never do OTA updates if you're rooted, just restore your back up and you should be fine.

Hi.. If any of you have installed TWRP, maybe you have made a backup of the stock recovery? If so.. Can you please share? The reason is that I want to be able to get the weekly updates..

You can still weekly update with TWRP. I've been doing it since I got the phone 2-3 weeks ago. It just launches the updater script in TWRP and installs fine

Ok.. Nice! I've just read that TWRP would break the updates. I'll try when the next one comes. Thanks☺

I stand corrected. This week's update didn't work for me. I checked my downloaded_rom folder and it seemed to be downloading entire ROMs the past two weeks, except this week it was just the patch. With. The entire rom download, it installed but with this week's update only it did not install.

Mine did not update as well.. Just froze at the MI logo.. Tried twice.

TWRP does break the updates and even after restoring stock recovery it still won't do it just download the full rom and dirty flash it through TWRP. If you still need stock recovery here's my backup. https://mega.co.nz/#!KFckQTBR!r3zUx_6OoKiusgPWRSBYhltvHP48RLfhuSnZ59wXF2k
I have made the backup using Flashify so you will need to install Flashify and place the file inside Android/data/com.cgollner.flashify/files/flashify-backup/recovery

Yeah it didn't work for a while but it randomly started working again and I havent had any problems since.

Yea I tried that, then realized how much I used TWRP and reverted back after 2 hours.

I only use twrp when I need it so I connect it to my PC and use fastboot boot TWRP.img

Recovery Corrupted?

Do I went to upgrade my wife's G2 to a newer TWRP version. Instead of smartly doing this by flashing the new zip in twrp, I used JMZ's twrp app to flash the newer version. It said success and thought all was good.
When I return to recovery, it's just a black screen nothing loads. I rebooted and tried again. Same problem. Rebooted and tried flashing CWM through ROM manager. Same result - black recovery screen.
By now I've tried to access fastboot but fastboot doesn't recognize device (although ADB had no problem). I've attempted flashing the IMG file from the official TWRP app and also using the "dd" method on terminal Emulator.
I'm at a complete loss here. My guess is the recovery is corrupted and anything short of using KDZ or TOT method to return to stock and re-root is going to just keep frustrating me.
Thoughts?

yeah those twrp apps are more trouble than they are worth on the G2 at least.
I think there was a lollipop version of autorec floating around might have to google it
or you could try and pull the recovery.img out of one of blastgators zips and flash with dd then flash the zip in twrp

I dont understand one thing, can you boot the phone? It can turn on normally? Anyway about the recovery, have you tried with AutoRec.apk? Google for it and it should install some old version of TWRP then go and find 3.0xx bumped TWRP which is recommended in most of roms and flash it through the old one, after that reboot recovery and youll have the latest recovery

Yes the phone boots just fine. It's just the recovery that's been blasted. I'm gonna try the autorec you guys mentioned. I'll let you know how it goes.
When you say find a bumped version of TWRP, that is something different than the one on the official site right? Also, the version I found of autorec was the kitkat version. I believe I rooted her phone from Lollipop. Will this cause problems with running autorec? Moreover will it mess up my boot?

So tried autorec for the vs980. Unfortunately it can't find or install the Loki_tool. With that it closes the app. I've tried looking up info on the Loki tool, but I'm not finding anything that is being helpful.
I'm familiar with using the kdz method and might just do that and start fresh. Really wish I hadn't used that stupid twrp app now. I'll take any further suggestions that could save me from restoring stock.

Autorec works , it must. You have SuperSu? Go in supersu settings and uncheck something about 'name spaces' cant remember the whole thing. Then reboot, run autorec again.

I should have probably mentioned I'm on a custom rom already. Don't know if that's part of it.
I'm on RR MM 5.7.4 using built in root manager in the rom.

I'm also getting "boot certification verify" error on reboot when attempting to boot into recovery.

Yeah figured as much. I might just leave her on stock honestly. She is a very light user of her phone. I only rooted and did custom recovery because her original software became corrupted and boot looped her.
Thanks for all of the help!

Tot method worked beautifully. Phones stock again on Lollipop - where it will stay.
Never using one of those recovery installing apps again! Nothing like wasting a few hours fixing a mistake.
