[Q] Possible To Flash Custom Recovery to KitKat Yet?

I seem to have gotten over my head here being fairly new to android in general but wanting to try out all the new stuff lol.
Basically, I updated my LG G2 with the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant but after updating proceeded to screw up a few system files in the process. The kicker is I didn't know that installing this update was going to remove my TWRP custom recovery!
So now... It seems I am stuck with a buggy kitkat and cannot reinstall it because
- my custom recovery is gone and it seems that I can't reflash it do to my being on kitkat (24a)
- Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant won't upgrade the phone again because in it's view I have the latest and greatest.
- using factory reset doesn't seem to be fixing the underlying issue of system files being corrupted but simply wipes user data and apps.
What am I to do? Am I doomed to have a buggy phone until CWM or TWRP support LG G2 so I can install a ROM?
Or is there something I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

If you still have root, you can use this, AutoRec - KitKat Recovery Installer

If you do not have root it would be best to start fresh by following this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45694605
Then use IORoot to root your phone, thread below

After rooting use AutoRec-Kit Kat Recovery Installer and you will be good to go.
Hope all this helps.

I used the "VERIZON ONLY Revert to stock GUIDE [UPDATED]" and worked like a charm!

did u get a recovery on kitkit with the 24a

need some help

My buddy got a note 3 with jb firmware. We decided to software update it. We were successful with one update. This one....see pic. Well now we are trying to upgrade it to the kk update. But we are stuck with message see the other pic attached. It's been stuck on this for a good hour. Any suggestions?

Second pic.......

If you plan to root the phone, you want to update to a leaked version of kitkat
DK 4.1, GPE Orange, Xposed, xgel, and other great extras

Ok. Well we updated to that version u see right there. How do I go about updating to a leaked version?

Why don't you just root your phone and install Safestrap and flash G900F, G900A, G900T Roms?

Use this method it's quite easy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2862299

Sorry...I'm on the s5 active..and the reason I asked this method is because I was rooted with safe strap and wanted to unroot and take the OTA update. .well I tried all the methods mentioned in that post but Odin just stops at initializing and when I try going to the stock recovery and flashing the update there it's still NE4 not NG4. .so I'm kinda lost

Follow instruments exactly it does work perfectly. Take your time and make sure you don't skip a step. It works

Odin stays at initializing....doesn't move past that...even left it for 10 mins...

Galaxy S5- Can I Flash A ROM With TWRP Instead Of Flashfire?

Hello, i'm new in this forum and i haven't flashed so many roms before.
in this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-update-to-g870aoc5-5-0-keeproot-t3083841
they use flashfire to install lollipop rooted rom into G870A devices.
but i have a problem, i followed the steps to receive flashfire beta on my device but i never got it, i asked in g+ page to someone to share me the apk containing flashfire beta (the version that is required to do this), but he said me i have to change the date of my phone to july 1st because the app does not open at all, and it is true, by changing the date i was able to open the app, but i;m not sure about using it because i thing it is not the right version and i thing i can damage my device.
Can i use twrp instead? or is it safe to use the apk he shared to me?
Thanks

Much to the dismay of almost everyone here Twrp will not work on our locked bootloader phone.

You havd at&t s5 active ,at&t locked the bootloader thats why we can't use custom recovery like twrp cwm . if u r in 4.4.2 kitkat i think u can use safestrap recovery..that process will install 5.0 rooted lollipop .i use the same process to update my att s5 to lollipop ..download the file flash through flasfire..

thanks! i'll ty that i hope it works.
but before trying this i, does anyone successfully installed the last flashfire beta? please would you share the apk, i would prefer using that since the tutorial looks very easy, im new using those kind of tools

I just used the latest beta to flash from rooted 4.4.4 to 5.0.1 Of3 without issue.

my problem is that i were not able to receive beta, does the latest google play public release work?

[Q] How to get 7.0 on rooted N6

It's been a while since I've played around with my phone. I've been rooted since day 1 and run a few custom ROMS. However, obviously I'm not getting the pushed OTA. How can I get 7.0? Will I lose root? I don't mind if I have to re-root, just wondering.

Un-root your device and install the N firmware and then reboot. That way I'm sure you won't get a boot loop upon restart.

If you want to have root, and you have run custom ROMs before, why not just run a custom 7.1 ROM that already has root. YOu would just need to upgrade your bootloader and radio to the latest and flash a 7.X ROM.

So I can just download a ROM and clean flash it after upgrading the boot loader?

I did a google search for "Nexus Firmware download" and found a site that has them for all Nexus devices.
