I have been tearing my hair out for about a week with this problem. I'm sure the answer is here somewhere, but I'm a novice and I don't understand phone developer vocabulary. Hopefully someone can link me to a solution to my problem.
I have a Verizon LG G2 (VS980 4G) and I'm trying to install CyanogenMod on it. Here's the info from the software page in settings:
Android version 4.4.2
Baseband version VS98024A-M8974A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20046
Kernel version 3.4.0-perf [email protected]
Build number KOT49I.VS98024A
Software version VS98024A
I have followed these steps so far:
1. Rooted with towelroot
2. Installed SuperSU and BusyBox
3. Used AutoRec to install TWRP 2.7.0.0
4. Downloaded CM-10.2.0-vs980.zip to /sdcard/Download
When I boot into TWRP recovery and try to flash the zip from there, I get the following error message:
"assert failed: run_program("/system/bin/loki.sh") == 0
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Download/cm-10.2.0-vs980.zip'
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/Download/cm-10.2.0-vs980.zip' "
And then when I try to reboot the system I get an error that shows the LG logo with the words "security error" underneath it, and the phone won't boot up. After that my only option is to do a factory hard reset, go back into TWRP and restore my backup.
When I bought the phone it was on Software version VS98027A, but I thought that might be the problem so I used the LG flash tool to download and flash the kdz file for VS98024A. This has not given me a new result, sadly.
I have read the install instructions on the CM page, but they describe an app called FreeGee, which I guess is supposed to install ClockworkMod. FreeGee says my phone isn't supported. CM's directions say if FreeGee doesn't work, I should use AutoRec, but they don't follow up with any TWRP-specific instructions. I have googled and youtubed for several days, but everything I find shows directions on how to root and install recovery, yet nothing on how to deal with this particular error message. Whenever I do find a thread that seems like it might be helpful, I can't understand the technical jargon involved.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

Here's my advice, go back to stock again,the LG flash tool. When that completes, use Freedom Tools (its in Development) and use ioroot25 (link is in the aforementioned thread) to root device. Then use Freedom Tool to install twrp. I've used it many times and never had a problem. Re-download cm rom (perhaps bad download) and flash in twrp. I would suggest using a more current twrp (start with 2.7, DL newest twrp, flash, reboot recovery) then flash cm. Let me know how it goes!
Thanks for your help. I followed the ioroot and freedom tool steps no problem, but I don't know how to update twrp. The g2 isn't listed as a supported device on their website or in the twrp manager app. I searched the forum and found a thread about updating it, but every time I try to download the files, I get a message that says the download failed.
I downloaded a fresh copy of cyanogenmod and tried to flash with twrp2.7, but I got the same error message from my original post.

Huh, ok, well, first off here's the thread for twrp, make sure and flash the correct one for our device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2898705
Second, have you tried a different rom? I remember reading that jackpotcalvin's is the cm to use. Try his or a completely different one, just make sure and follow the op (some require different radios, just follow the op). But I would definitely upgrade twrp before trying anything else.

Okay, so thanks to the link you gave me, I have succeeded in updating TWRP to version 2.8.5.1. I tried once again to flash cm 10.2, with more error messages. Specifically, the error says:
assert failed: run_program("/system/bin/loki.sh") == 0
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Download/cm-10.2.0-vs980.zip' (that line was in red text)
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/Download/cm-10.2.0-vs980.zip'
I chose that rom because it is the only one listed as stable on the CM page for the G2. This time it was a fresh download. After that failed, I looked up JackpotClavin and found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702958
But it might as well be written in Greek because I don't understand much of it at all. I don't think I'd be comfortable doing all the command line stuff without a video tutorial or a more layman-friendly set of directions. So I didn't try that one.
Then I just started browsing the Development forum for a rom with easy install directions and found this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/development/rom-beanstalk-build-5-0015-t3001584
I followed the instructions and flashed it successfully, booted up successfully, and then I was bombarded with a never-ending series of popups that said Unfortunately, Google Play Services had stopped. So that Rom was unusable, but at least now I know that it is possible to flash a rom of some kind. I don't have my heart dead-set on CM, I just know that it's very popular and so I had hopes that it would be more stable than most. All I need is a stable rom that has working radios and the ability to use the native USB tether function without having to pay Big Red an extra fee for the privilege.
I have restored to stock 24A with TWRP 2.8.5.1. Any more pointers?
Thanks again for all your help. I can tell I'm making progress, just not sure how close I am to the light at the end of the tunnel.

Dude, I'm sorry for not reading closer to begin with, but ya, you're trying to flash a JB rom with a KK recovery. 2.7 and up are for kk only. I'm so sorry...
Did you flash a gapps zip with Beanstalk? Did you do a completely clean install?
If you still want to flash a 10.2 cm you're going to have to find the appropriate recovery, and there I'm of no use since I entered this phone on kk and don't know anything about its jb history. Also don't know about the USB tether part either (I don't use it) so you're probably going to have to do some searching, flashing, and experimentation.
But bright side is we've figured out why you couldn't flash the cm rom. Either stay on kk or above, or start scrolling through the dev section looking for jb recovery...
SUCCESS!
Last night I read a bit deeper into the CM11/12 thread and found a more noob-friendly breakdown of the directions on pages 4-6. I worked up my courage to dive into adb and it turned out to be easier than it looked. Another failed flash on the CM10.2 ROM left little doubt that the rom had to be the problem, and your last reply confirmed it. I went back to the CyanogenMod download page and grabbed a zip of CM11 and now I'm up and running!
Thank you so much again. I sent a donation to JackpotClavin, and I'd like to do so for you as well, if I could. I don't see a PayPal link in your signature, though.

So glad it worked for you and you're up and running!
Nah, bro, I'm good. Give it to the devs, they deserve it. Giving knowledge through experience is what xda is all about, pass it on when you can. Thank you, though!
Hi, I hope this is the right place to get help with this issue, if not I apologize, I'm new, this forum is huge, I'm not sure where I'd go for this.
Regarding my issue/background. I'm mildly savvy, I managed to successfully unlock my boot loader and install the Twrp boot recovery (version 3.0.2), and have installed SU. I have a couple app disablers and have disabled some what seem to be useless and, however they are system apps, I'm wondering if this may be the cause of the issue.
I've spent about 8 hours in total trying multiple different versions of the arm64, with basically this same error. At this point, and after much digging, I haven't been able to find a solution to my error anywhere.
Likely this is my own fault, but we will see. As stated above I'm trying to install the arm64 version on an HTC One m9 with twrp v3.0.2
The error I'm getting is E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/xposed-v82-sdk22-arm64.zip
Any help is appreciated, I'm pretty sure it's something I'm missing. I'm going to keep trying to do this on my own but hey, if anyone has any advice,it is greatly appreciated!

This error arises mostly due to two reasons:
you tried to flash a wrong .zip file that isn't designed for your system OR your recovery does not support it.
SDK21 is for Android 5.0.x
SDK22 is for Android 5.1.x
SDK23 is for Android 6.0.x
Maybe you could change your recovery (if you don't use the official one from TWRP's webpage.
You could also try to flash Xposed framework v80, which is known to work on most devices.
For further discussion and help, please use the official Xposed threads for Lollipop or Marshmallow, depending on your Android version.
Hey guys,
I found what claims to be an unofficial TWRP for the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 SM-T395. The source, however, seems rather fishy to me, and the fact that there's no talk at all about it on here more wary. Since the device I'd like to install TWRP on isn't my own, I'm not going to experiment with sources that I don't know. But maybe someone on here´is ready give it a spin, including installation and testing?

Original source: https://www.firmwares.androidinfote...e-2-sm-t395-nougat-7-1-1-unofficial-twrp-tar/
Which was referenced here: https://www.androidinfotech.com/2018/05/root-samsung-galaxy-tab-active-2-sm-t395-nougat.html
The last one is what I found during my Google research for methods of rooting the device.
Here's hoping that this is the real deal.
Going to try later today. Seems legit, but who knows.
Hope this works. I've been trying to build TWRP myself but with no success yet.
Shedaim
EDIT: tried installing using Odin v3.12. Success on installation.
Took off battery after flashing. Entered directly to recovery mode. Got a "installing system update" screen, then a "No command" screen with a broken Android and got back to Android stock recovery.

Oof, I must have accidentally disabled e-mail notifications or something like that; I didn't see your response until I happened to log in just now.
Thank you for trying that out! A bummer that it didn't work.

OEM Unlock in Developer settings?
i think it's a case more of not reading than trying to flash xyz versions of twrp and hoping it to magically work.
dr.ketan made a nice guide in the guides and discussion section just waiting to be read. also throughout the thread there is probably more information that should be considered.
search and read.

I want to download the ArrowOS recovery image but cannot find it on their official websites or on XDA. In the official Github repository, there is nothing under the Releases section.

If You don’t find it on the official site, that means that it doesn’t exist.
Most often people are using either TWRP, either OrangeFox. That’s a question of personal taste.
I’m personally using twrp (https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredminote10pro.html)
which I flashed according to https://www.droidwin.com/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-on-redmi-note-10-pro/.
I think that a thread concerning each of those recoveries exists on this forum (you must search).
Do you mean it does not exist for this device? Or at all?
Any place to download it for other devices?
I already have TWRP installed, but wanted to try ArrowOS Recovery in order to get OTP updates

I'm sure other people can confirm what follows : "If no recovery exists on the Arrows web site or isn't integrated in the rom self, that means that such a recovery doesn't exist at all.".
If You are counting on an Arrows recovery that doesn't exist, then the TWRP You have installed should be able to do the job.
I hope that another one will be able to answer You concerning OTP updates
