Help installing TWRP 2.7 on new G2 with 12B

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

[Q] Update my boot stack

I need to update my boot stack on the LG G2 so that I can flash [ROM] XDABBEB's VS980 v2.2.0- on my phone but I do not know how to do so. I am rooted but that is it no recovery installed etc... (not sure how)
****update your entire bootstack to be compatible by flashing xdabbeb_vs98026a_bootstack.zip***
that is what i need to do,
Please help

You need to install recovery first. I see you're starting multiple threads. Please search and post in the appropriate threads. There is a xdabbeb rom thread and a xdabbeb rom Q&A thread already.
Since you're rooted (hopefully), I'm assuming you have SuperSU (or some superuser app). Download and install flashify. Open flashify, recovery image, download twrp, twrp 2.8.0.1, extract, yup. Reboot phone. If it didn't boot into recovery, open flashify, menu, reboot recovery. Then follow xdabbeb's op instructions word for word.
lg g2 xdabbeb's vs980 v2.2.0

thank you

Thank you

Use the instructions on the thread. It's pretty simple.
Go to the market and download Autorec. It will put twrp on your device. Make sure it's the version compatible with the rom 2.71 or higher or 2.071, not positive. xdabbeb laid it out perfectly in the thread. I had not problems.

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?

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.

No it has to be flashed from PC in bootloader mode on the phone.

Verizon
I have flashed many roms on many devices over the years, I would say I have moderate to expert knowledge of the process and practice.
When I flash this on my (newly received Verizon) Nexus 6, it boots to a black screen. I can hold power and see the "power off" option, but that is it.
Here is the actions I took:
Fastboot
OEM Unlock
ChainFire Auto Root Nexus 6
Boot and Verify SU Binaries
Reboot into TWRP
Wipe Cache/Davlik/System/Data
Flash Odex (also tried De-Odex) Rom
Reboot
I tried using your Radio and Bootloader files, as well as the latest ones in the Nexus 6 factor image file hosted by Google, same result.
Any thoughts on why this might happen?
I have since manually flashed system, cache, boot, and userdata from the stock image and booted fine with root (and am currently running this).
