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

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?

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.

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?

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.

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

Thanks, but I think that I already looked through the zip file and I don't see a recovery.img file included in it. I'm only looking at the zip files because I can't use the kdz files. Am I looking for the wrong thing? In the end, I want a stock recovery image installed.
I'm sorry, I misunderstood. So you are looking to flash the recovery partition only back to stock, and not the rest of the partitions?
