Hey guys, has anybody figured out how to install TWRP on the LG G2 while it's running stock kitkat?
I've found an updated "iroot" so that I can root it, but still nothing that I can see, where I can install recovery over kitkat.....
I am running 4.4.2 I installed the 20g bootstack I believe that's what it's called and then installed cloudy. Every time I try to flash any cm based ROM it gives me an error or doesn't boot at all and gets stuck in the lg boot screen. I ready that I have to change the boot loader or the radio but I can't seem to find which one is correct. I am also choosing the right d801 version for cm based roms. Any help would be much appreciated thanks.

Hey did you figure this out yet? For the CM 12 nightly, after I flashed the 20g bootstack, I flashed the D801 JB bootloader from blastagator http://blastagator.ddns.net/bootloader.php. Then I was able to install CM.
This worked for me. Thanks.
Hi I need help with my at&t LG g3 with Lollipop 5.1 I just rooted the device then downloaded the expose framework but then realized I needed a custom recovery to make it work so then I tried that next but failed now my phone is stuck on the at&t logo (bootloop) how can I get it working again maybe getting it back to stock recovery

There might be a way to get back stock recovery but if not just go back to stock.

OK, my wife upgraded to the Note 5... tried to get her on a Nexus 6, but she wanted the pen. As a result, I got her old G2. I plan to root, install TWRP and try some ROMs, mainly CM13. New to the LG family, but have rooted and installed a ton of ROMs to my Asus ME301T tablet, so I am familiar with the process and adb. Here is my plan on how I understand to do this to the G2
Root with One Click Root V 1.3
Flashify TWRP
Back up current stock ROM(LP 5.0.2 30c)
Wipe all data except internal storage
Flash CM13
Flash GAPPS (going with open GAPPs minimal)
wipe Cache and Dalvik
Reboot and profit
Is this all correct? I am a bit confused on the use of bootstacks. The CM13 thread says that I do not need a bumped bootstack if I am on a current LG bootstack. Is this correct?
Thanks for the help as I am a bit hesitant to do this with out full knowledge beforehand. Don't want to brick this device
Your understanding is correct. All the steps and the part about the bootstack.
If you're into multi-boot, where you can leave the stock rom untouched installing ROMS to the cache or data partition, check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447534

I know it says S4 but the project eventually developed and other devices were supported.

You won't get root with 30c you'll have to downgrade your ROM to 20g or 30b with a .kdz and LG flash tool 2014 at least I had to its so much simpler with kit kat ROM to root. All you have to do on kk is download towel root apk and install it then install SuperSU from the Google play store. I never found a working lollipop root method they all failed for me.
Good luck friend!
