Ok problem - i tried flashing via terminal emulator and now when i try to reboot into CWM it stays on the Google Screen. any ideas guys?
i did it the exact same way it said on here, flashing via terminal, and i also renamed it to recovery.img

Never mind guys,got it working! after the via terminal, i just reflashed on Rom manager. Its ok now, i can get into CWM. Any idea why this would happen in the first place though? its odd.
you have to edit the official OTA zip file and remove it from there I'm working on it

Yes! today i need to install CWM Recovery Image first, and after install the Rogue with .zip file. I`d like to run Rogue Recovery as .img file to install it first, without CWM Recovery first. Its possible?
Thanks
Open the zip file and take the .img file out and flash it.

[Recovery][Unofficial]TWRP 2.7.0.0 & Clockwork Recovery Touch 6.0.4.4 W/loki (D800)
Clockwork recovery touch with Loki for AT&T LG G2 (D800) Only.
TWRP recovery touch with Loki for AT&T LG G2 (D800) Only.
The only difference between official recoveries and this version is that Loki is built in to recovery.
THIS IS ONLY FOR 10d FIRMWARE. IF YOU ARE ON 10o THEN DO NOT USE!!!
You may want to flash 10d firmware. It can be found HERE with instructions. If you plan on using ROMs it is best to flash 10d firmware first.
Install Methods
Flashable Zip - Must have TWRP or whatever custom recovery already installed.
Boot into recovery and flash Recovery Zip file.
Manual Method - With no custom recovery already installed.
Must have Root first. Check HERE for root
Download the zip file to which recovery you want
Extract zip file to C:\
Open command prompt in root of C drive
You will need adb installed and properly setup in your environment variables. If not place the recovery.img wherever your adb file is located.
Type the following commands:
Code:
adb push recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
dd if=/data/local/tmp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
exit
exit
adb reboot recovery
Now you should be in recovery.

I have not tested that way but I am sure you can. If you just need the img file than extract from zip file.
If you try then let us know how it worked out
Using flashify works like a charm. Just extract img file and flash using flashify. As a third alternative.

If you been flashing OEM modified ROMs on G2 the speed may have been due to the size of the ROMs.

Will I lose my twrp backups if I flash this clockwork recovery?
If not, then would I be able to restore twrp backups with cwm? May be a silly question but I never tried this and worried about losing backups.
You will not lose them until you delete them but I am not sure if you can restore twrp backups with clockwork.

Does this mount usb-otg? When I try "Mount USB Storage" nothing happens. I am pretty sure TWRP also does not yet support usb-otg. My hopes were CWM did.
Thanks
Adb side load is an alternative for Mount usb. Install Zip --> Install from adb sideload. Unfortunately this didn't work for me either. If it works for any of you guys please let me know the steps you followed. Sideload doesn't work in TWRP also.
In case of a soft brick either Mount usb or adb side load should help. Otherwise you have to go back to stock using Lg tools and start all over again.

I flashed this and seem to have a problem with formatting the cache- it just stops so I cannot wipe becuase it stops at formatting cache. Anybody else experienced this before? I flashed again with same results.

Yep, sort of. You install cwm via fastboot but then you root via cwm by flashing a zip that has the root files in it.
The best bet is to get fastboot set up now before doing anything. I know it may seem daunting but once it'a set up, it's done and once you've used it, you'll realise you were worrying about nothing

OK thanks. Just one tiny question that I need explaining. How do I install CWM through fastboot. Do I download the zip of cwm and boot into fastboot once I'm on 4.4.3 using the button sequence power - then install?
Do I need to install cwm if I don't want root? And in cwm do I just flash on top without clearing data and cache

So a couple of things to clarify.
Ultimately, cwm is an .img file (a bit like a cd image). If you have a flashable zip of a recovery, it will contain a recovery.img.
Other flashable zips that contain .img files are kernels (boot.img) and radio (radio.img) but most other flashable zips such as ROMs and mods do not use image files.
Fastboot is a command line tool that is used to flash image files outside of flashable zips. So if you have a flashable zip of cement you want to use, you must extract the recovery.img
Fastboot works in 2 halves. Half of it is built into the bootloader of your nexus so to use fastboot you must boot into the bootloader and connect via USB.
The other half is the command line tool which is a fastboot.exe that you put on you computer and access via cmd (command prompt).
To use fastboot once it's configured, it's quite easy, you just type "fastboot flash" followed by the partition you want to flash too and the name of the file you want to flash. Usually you will only flash system.img, boot.img, radio.img or recovery.img and each flash to the same named partition.
Example
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
One thing to remember though, is you either put these images in the same folder as fastboot.exe OR you type the full location when flashing for example
fastboot flash recovery c:\users\dec115e\desktop\recovery.img
Have a look in the 2 threads mentioned in my signature as they both should cover setting up fastboot.
Let us know if you have more questions

It depends how you do it but if you're using an OTA file or flashing the system.img and boot.img you won't lose data.
Only flashing a userdata.img which overwrites the data partition will loose your data

If you want to upgrade to 5.1, why not just flash the factory image? That's what it's there for.

If you get that cannoct allocate xxx bytes, then you have to flash all the images manually. Extract the zip file which is in the same folder as flash-all.bat
Copy all the extracted images next to flash-all.bat
In cmd navigate to that folder where you have tha flash-all.bat and type the commands:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloa (press tab to autofill the filename)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio ra (press tab to autofill the filename)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img

You don't have to lose recovery, just don't use the flash-all and don't flash the stock recovery. And even so, how hard is it to flash TWRP back on if you do lose it? It takes literally 10 seconds to do.

Yeah, you really should learn how to use fastboot. It's nowhere near as difficult as some people seem to think it is, and if you are ever in a bind, fastboot is likely what you'll need to use to get out of it. It's Android 101 really- I think everyone who roots and mods their phone should learn fastboot before they do anything at all.
