[Q] Having problems with recovery (LS980)

So I finally decided I wanted to flash custom roms on my new phone (Sprint LG G2). I did some research on the pros and cons and the risks and thought I was smart enough with tech that I could figure it out. I was able to root no problem, it was really easy to just follow the top root thread step by step. Now I'm trying to install a recovery method to backup my stock rom and flash new roms and I'm finding it really difficult. I'm following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522965
I chose this one because it is up towards the top of the forum. I installed flashify and set the recovery image to the latest version of twrp (2.6.3.3) like OP suggested. I then backed up the stock recovery and the restore kernel in flashify. I rebooted recovery and there is an error. I read through the post and someone suggested using the previous twrp recovery image (2.6.3.2). Now it works, I immediately backed up the stock rom (with root). Now I'm worried about flashing a ROM when it says to use the most up to date twrp (which I don't have and I'm not sure how to update it now). Also I'm incredibly frustrated because I've reached my flash limit in Flashify because I was switching between different versions of twrp. I'm also worn out reading through posts to figure out how to get my recovery working and up to date. It's taken me like 3 hours now to get where I am. Can I install custom ROMs on an out dated version of twrp? Are there additional risks? Any information or resources on the recovery would be much appreciated.

[Q] how to root stock firmware for publishing???

Hi all
I am keen in android dev, but we all need to start somewhere
I have been searching and as my title suggests, all I have found are superuser.zips and rooted roms
for the android devs and rom chefs,
how do I take stock firmware, either as:
a .tar.md5 or
a twrp/cwm recovery backup
and root it?
reason for asking, (although I dont indend this as a specific model issue), I recently restored my Samsung Note LTE to stock JB, then installed CWM and then flashed the superuser.zip, but I didnt get root, installed twrp then su, still no root,
so im thinking either rooting the stock tar.md5 or rooting the recovery backup, might solve the problem

Confusion about rooting XT1039 on 5.1

Hello all, my problem is that I've unlocked the bootloader and tried CF Auto Root but it just hangs - I've since read it isn't compatible with 5.1.
So how do I root the phone now? Do I actually need a custom recovery, or can I just root it? In the past I've flashed a file from the sdcard and the phone was instantly rooted, so have no experience with recoveries.
Some of the guides I've found are a couple of years old so may be outdated, and there's so many different ways I've been going round in circles.
I have Motorola Device Manager and Minimal ADB + Fastboot installed on a Windows 10 PC, 5.1 version is 23.26.3 peregrine.
Any help greatly appreciated!

Find a compatible recovery for your phone , flash the recovery via adb and then flash SuperSU zip through it .

Thankyou, is there a recommended custom recovery for the xt1039 (Is cwm or twrp better?)?
Is the correct version for xt1039 twrp-3.0.2-0-peregrine.img? Found here: twrp(dot)me/devices/motorolamotog2013lte(dot)html And follow the 'Fastboot Install Method (No Root Required)' instructions?
Will this still work if I'm on 5.1, or does it not matter what version I'm on?
Thankyou for any help, as I said I haven't installed custom recovery before so am a bit unsure.

Greetings and welcome to assist. I'm guessing you used this guide here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-1-p9000-lite-t3366126
according to this it should work. Maybe try asking in that thread for help. If it is just root you require than you could try kingroot or framroot
Good Luck

Cannot root anymore 7.0

Hi Everyone,
I had a custom rom installed then I could not root it for some reason. So I decided to start all over again and reinstalled stock 7.0. Now I cannot root this or install custom recovery on it! I have tried so many different methods but none of them seem to work

Hi, what's your Model Nr.? Have you tried it with the
CF-Autoroot.zip on your Computer? Otherwise you can also download the Supersu.zip, then flash TWRP with Odin and after that flash the Supersu Zip.

Hi Fatal,
I managed to find an auto root and managed to do it via odin. Thank you for your reply ?
