Maybe i don't understand you:
-you used the cm ota updater and now you are in bootlop after LG logo?
the ota updater mustn't be used to update the os2SD rom, use only the latest rom from hardlight's thread
-your phone bootlop after LG logo but the recovery works? this is what i did when it happened to me:
(you will lost all the recent data) reinstall a nandroid backup
or
if you didn't make a nandroid backup:
(you will lost ALL your data) from actual recovery install the mukulsoni cwm recovery, flash the omega rom, boot the system, waith 10 min, after a correct boot, reboot in recovery & reinstal the hardlight TWRP for os2sd, flash the os2sd rom
if you ask to hardlight (PM) he will probably show to you how to recover your system without lose data, please write the HL procedure

I do not use the ota update, not working in rom os2sd
I go into cyanogemmod upgrades,
I did the upgrade he pointed out, so that after the lg logo appears it goes into bootlop
there is until I uninstall and do the restore of the nandroid back up
Normal recovery works, i use TWRP 2.7.1 multi she serves as internal to external rom both
rom the last he came out and said that the 08/18/2014 and she's also bootlop
oh and thanks for answering me

so you did an upgrade of a non-os2sd rom, that from cm upgrades ( i suppose -> settings -> about this device) on a os2sd rom.
Sorry but as i wrote before the updates for this type of rom have to be os2sd rom, like from the hardlight thread
or if you want to make any rom (so the cm nightly) into os2sd use this hardlight guide
Don't update from cm updater, it download the non os2sd rom

[Q] Which version of TWRP with KatKiss 4.4.4?

I am going to flash the 4.4.4. KatKiss ROM (currently my 101 is on KatKiss 4.3.1)
I am planning a full format / wipe....do I need this or can I just flash the ROM with TWRP?
What version of TWRP is recommended for this ROM? I am on 2.3.1.
If I have to upgrade TWRP, what is the best way to do it? I have heard ADB is not recommended??? What about TWRP manager on GooglePlay?
Thanks a lot - Love the ROM, and the help!

You should be able to just wipe SYSTEM, CACHE and DALVIK CACHE and flash the ROM and GAPPS
IIRC it's fine doing it that way for upgrading, but if you ever wanted to return to a lower version of Android, you'd have to factory reset / format everything
You should be good to go with that version of TWRP, I use 2.3.2.3 but unfortunately the Goo Manager used for upgrading TWRP has been dropped, so you'd need to use a flashable zip to update
Flash from your current version of TWRP, then reboot back into Android to complete the update, once back in Android, you can boot into your new TWRP and flash your new 4.4.4 ROM

Here ist what i have experienced:
I was on System Version: 181.46.3
Well nevertheless:
It was the most recent version i could get and i wanted to get back to Android L.
I installed CM12 the Following way, I had a lot of problems with that. So here is my experience and everything:
So you need to know, to install CM12 or other CM12 based ROMS you first need to have CM11 installed.
Newer Versions of the recovery might be having problems installing CM11, so i would recommend using PhilZ Touch Recovery. It was working for me.
1st: install PhilZ recovery
2nd: factory reset
3rd: install cm11 (Unified Build, due to no up-to-date-build for XT925)
4th: boot
5th: install latest TWRP XT925/TWRP XT926
6th: factory reset
7th: install CM12 XT925 / CM12 XT926 or other CM12 based ROM
8th: install Gapps
9th: wipe cache/dalvik cache
10: Boot
11: Have fun.
Possible problems:
"This package is for moto_msm8960, xt907, scorpion_mini, smq, xt926, vanquish, this is a xt925" ------> You got a problem with the Recovery, it is too new. Try PhilZ
CM12 Booting, inconsistent Data partition stuff error ---------> you did not install cm11 and did not wipe Data before installing CM12, when coming from Blur Rom
Bootloop ---------> no wiping or you did not install cm11 before installing CM12
I hope this might have helped you.

Heyho
I have an XT925.
I installed the msm8960 Build.
The Reason i used the unified Build was, there is no KKBL build for the xt925.

thanks again, onto the procedure now
just last thing, which version of philz recovery you installed, download link has latest one @esok44

If you come frome OTA Kitkat 4.4.2
you have to change Step 1st: install PhilZ recovery ------ to ------ Install TWRP2710-RAZR-HD_M-KITKAT.img instead then you can flash the CM 11
If you like philz_touch_6.58.7-moto_msm8960.img recovery (it can mount external Memory Card as USB) you can flash it after all installations after Point 11. The only thing that you cannot start directly to recovery from CM 12.1

[Q] Can't Install Slimkat : Status Error 7

Hi Buddy!
Greetings from a new guy here
Just basic question, few days back I'm trying to Install Slimkat ROM, I've done few steps below :
- Wipe data factory reset
- Wipe chache
- Wipe dalvik
- Format system
- Flash zip from Internal SD Card
But I'm getting status error 7 on installation proccess
I'm trying to Install another ROM (CM 10.3 Official & CM 12 Unofficial) its working just fine
Why I couldn't install Slimkat on my device?

Because you are using an out dated recovery, you need at least cwm 6.0.4.4 because KitKat requires selinux support and older recovery doesn't support it, get it from general section of tab 2 and flash it using existing recovery
Hope it works

Thanks! Its working now
But just wondering, I previously using CWM 6.0.2.8 but I can even install CWM 12 which lolipop based
Why it doesnt work on slimkat which based on kitkat? Kitkat is even lower than lolipop

If you read what I typed carefully, KitKat uses selinux, lollipop doesn't,
So you can use any recovery made for your device to flash a lollipop based ROM,
But anyways people are getting trim bug that causes infinite Boot loop without any reason, that's why our supper hero Andi protects us with patches that prevent those things.

[Q] Need help with stock recovery on OnePlus

I rooted my OnePlus with TWRP recovery sometime back and current image is CM11. I need to upgrade it to CM12 however all the manuals I found require stock recovery to upgrade from CM11 to CM12
I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade to CM12 with TWRP recovery? If not, how I can get stock recovery restored?
Also, if I manage to upgrade to CM12, is there a possibility for OTA updates in future?

Dud download lollipop bootanimation and flash through TWRP

1. Download the flashable CM12s zip file.
2. Store it under the root directory.
3. Go to TWRP recovery (Please make sure you use the latest version 2.8.6.0).
4. Do factory reset (wipe dalvic cache and other memory)
5. Flash the CM12 zip.
6. Reboot and enjoy....
Also, you will get OTA if you manually flash the CM12s.

You don't need stock recovery, just flash with TWRP.

Thanks for your help. Was able to flash CM12 successfully.
But facing another issue now - As soon as phone booted with CM12, it downloaded OTA system update. When I try to install the update, phone reboots in twrp recovery and update doesn't complete. Tried numerous times (with and without 'update CM recovery' toggle) but with same result.

Some md5 error. Was able to workaround it by flashing the OTA update via TWRP directly

Good to hear that.... MD5 error occurs when the downloaded file is corrupted.
