Simple question, or so it seems. How can I install TWRP?
I just replaced my LG G2 D800. I figured I'd keep it and root it. I've bricked it twice. All of my problems have centered on installing a custom recovery after rooting successfully. Currently I'm on Kit Kat D80020c rooted. My past efforts have resulted in the secure boot error problem, total bricking, and only being able to boot into TWRP. I've tried both loki and Autorec to install TWRP. Both failed repeatedly. I'm in the middle of a failed Autorec install right now. The time I managed to install TWRP I was on Jelly Bean 10c. That was the one where TWRP became the only thing that worked. Every time I failed I managed, one way or another, to reflash a stock image either with LG Flash Tool or with SRT.
Finally rooted my G2 D800
Finally succeeded with Chainfire's FlashFire. Don't know why it worked. I was able to flash TWRP and Lineage OS and am now putting together my DLNA client/music player. My first Android device was a Samsung Galaxy player. It was also the first thing I rooted. The G2 has a bigger display and slightly more flexible audio.

Hello guys,
I was able to successfully updated to JB 4.1.2 BhekBhek ROM from ICS, after rooting and installing CWM. Unfortunately the phone never booted up due to some error resulting into a boot loop. I was able to deal with the boot loop issue and up date the phone at the same time by installing v20d JB 4.1.2 using KDZ software updater. I have tried rooting the phone using a number of methods but to no success. I thus don't have SuperSU installed and the phone isn't rooted. Please help! What should I do to re-root the phone again?

I finally managed to root the phone... I was surprised on how easy it was. I used Kingo Android ROOT. You can get the Kingo Root .exe from the official Kingo Android Root official website.
Howdy y'all. I bricked my old G2 D800, I don't want a repeat with the new one. I tried doing all the research I could. I have a new D800, 10d, 4.4.2. I want CM11, tried reading the threads on that and custom recovery. I just need a little help to make sure I have the order of operations down pat before I crash another. I've rooted and flashed ROMs before, but not with th locked boot loader and security AT&T has.
Please just correct me if I'm wrong. Through the threads I have read I believe this is what I am to do.
1.) Flash my 4.4.2 back to 4.2.2 using LG FT
2.) Root using IO23
3.) Download Flashify & install TWRP 2.7.7 with Loki
4.) Follow steps to install CM 10.2
5.) Follow steps to install CM 11
Of course make backup once 4.2.2 plus root and TWRP is achieved before trying CM. I just want CM like I've had on previous phones. Thanks in advance.
All is good back to being ROM junkie. Anyone who does read and wishes to flash custom roms and get custom recovery on KK. Obtain root via IOroot25, then use AutoRec Recovery Installer for TWRP recovery.
I have an AT&T D800 and current software version is official 4.4.2 D80020y. I want to install official CM12.1 or preferably CM13, but i am extremely confused on where to start given that i havent done any modifications to my device before. I tried ioroot but it seems that my firmware version is not supported. Then i am not sure on the recovery part as well. which recovery is best for installing CM12/13? i read that some recovery causes the device to be soft bricked. If someone could give me a quick walk through on how to go about rooting and installing a recovery that supports all roms, it would be extremely helpful.
Hello guys I got lg g2 d800 and I can't install twrp I'm running stock 5.0.2. I have tried every method that I possibly could but still nothing.I install auto rec but it won't go any further than its boot screen then I read that I have to have supersu v2.46 I install that using flashy zip and apk but fails worst is that I lost stock recovery.
Any help would be appreciated:good:

I am having a problem installing customs ROM on stock LG G2. My phone was bricked so I reverted to stock AT&G firmware using LG flash tool (Android version - 4.4.2, Kernel version - 3.4.0).
I then perform the following steps:
(1) Enable developer mode with USB debugging
(2) Use Kingo Root to root phone
(3) Install TWRP using AutoRec
(4) Update TWRP to latest version (3.2.1)
This is where the problems start. I get the same result when I try installing crDroid 7.1.2 or Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 custom ROMs.
The installation of the custom ROM (and gapps) succeeds in TWRP and then I reboot the system. However, the reboot always results in the "LG" logo showing for 1/2 seconds and then a constant black screen.
I am able to recover the phone from this by putting it into firmware update and then using LG Flash tool however I would still like to successfully install and use the custom ROMs. Not sure why this is happening (I am sure it might have been treated with in the forums however I cant find anything). Any help would be appreciated here as I really do not want to be stuck on stock AT&T firmware.

Update: It seems as if older ROMs can be installed with no issues. I got a copy of Cyanogen 12 and it installed perfectly and works fine. However, trying to install new ROMs still give issues. Don't know if I am missing something here and/or someone had a similar previous experience.
