Flash that like you would a ROM to upgrade the vs980 from 2.6.3.2 to 2.6.3.3

2.6.3.2 has an issue with wiping cache (takes like five minutes). And 2.6.3.2 cannot flash 4.4 Roms.

[G2 Original Android Development] provolinoo:
how come official thread says latest version is 2.6.3.3 while I see 2.6.3.4 on other xda topics?
[G2 Original Android Development] Lawlrus:
Because they are not official. They are made by people. Just like the one in this thread.
[G2 Original Android Development] JRJ442:
Not sure if you know, but Dees Troy is the guy that created TWRP, so this thread is the official. He's also on the Omni team now. That's why they recommend TWRP as the recovery of choice. Lol. Didn't know if you knew that by the wording of your post. He doesn't really do individual updates for phones, never has. Usually updates all devices when they fix things or have a major problem. [MENTION=3205519]provolinoo[/MENTION] The reason the other one is newer is because it was compiled after the version number was bumped with slight changes. I would think we should be getting an update sometime soon though. Especially with Loki being updated and all for 12B. I noticed no one has opened up a ticket on their bug tracker. Maybe I should I guess, its possible they don't even really know since they build for so many devices, and have the Omni thing going on.
[G2 Original Android Development] provolinoo:
yes please, open a ticket to make them aware :)

Terminal Command under Advanced

Would it be possible to program a Terminal Command to a button in Advanced? For those who have accepted the Over The Air update while having a custom recovery, you get thrown into a boot loop back to TWRP.

But, if you run this simple command in the Built-in TWRP terminal, you are returned to a usable phone again.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

Is it possible to program this in directly? That way, it is WAY simple, and also, people don't accidentally type it in wrong and brick their phones.

Doubt they'd add a button, but if this partition is only for ota.. it could be added to the post bit script to do it everyone twrp boots

Yes it is working. Right now there's an issue where you can get stuck in a booltloop, and the original TWRP release didn't have ADB so it was really messy and dangerous. Now, though, there is a solution for people stuck in the bootloop. Go ahead and install TWRP without much worry!

Come on t-mobile baby make it happen
[G2 Original Android Development] JackpotClavin:
Thank you for TWRP [MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION], I was wondering what your device folder looked like when you built TWRP for the G2. Mainly, the ramdisk offsets and whatnot. I'm looking to build CM10.1 for the G2, but I'd be stuck without a boot.img that I can loki up with my device :)
[G2 Original Android Development] Dees_Troy:
If you don't know how to get ramdisk offsets then I fear that making CM for the G2 will be over your head. My device files are barebones with only the things needed to build recovery. There will need to be a lot of things added to build CM and you'll need to port the G2 kernel source and create an AOSP compatible kernel, etc.

However:

https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_lge_g2

Then you'll need to use these tools to pack the kernel and dtb together using the command documented in the how to pack text file:

https://github.com/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools

And after that you'll need to loki it, of course. Good luck.
[G2 Original Android Development] Z51:
any update for T-Mobile version?
[G2 Original Android Development] d.cortez:
@Dees_Troy and the TWRP team - wanted to say thanks for your work!. i'm not sure what happened with my att G2, but it spontaneously rebooted to a BSOD and was completely non-responsive. i had 2 options from this point: flash the original ROM with LG Tools or get to TWRP recovery and restore from backup. i chose the second, by using hardware buttons to hard-reset and restore a backup. this step launched the Factory Reset option in TWRP and approximately 10 minutes later, my phone rebooted to TWRP and i successfully restored a backup. apologies for my off-topic post, but i wanted to share my experience in case others find themselves is a situation similar to mine. the picture below lists the hard-reset option/steps for hardware keys from the att LG manual. (i know it's been recommended to not use hardware buttons, but this was my only option for recovery).
[G2 Original Android Development] Dees_Troy:
Need someone with the T-Mo version to root theirs, then dump stock recovery and aboot and then get loki updated (if needed) via bliss. Then I can make a recovery for it.
[G2 Original Android Development] JackpotClavin:
Thanks for all your help! I never knew about those bootimage utils that you linked to, but I got it booting :)

For some reason the zip wouldn't install, it gave me a updater binary error, and I had to fastboot flash my system.img and then tinker around from there.

Ok. I'm putting on my hockey helmet, so I can ask this question:

[G2 Original Android Development] gbeardmore:
So... the link from Post #2 above for Verizon variants now shows two versions of TWRP available, including this new version from today (v 2.6.3.2) - "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2vzw.img".

Yet there is no mention of it in the OP or a Change-log. I just rooted and haven't installed a custom recovery yet. I'm thinking I should be using this newest version but would like to know A LITTLE about it before I flash.

For instance, is it maybe now OK to install TWRP thru GooManager? And/or is it still OK to install it thru Flashify with this new version?

Thanks!
[G2 Original Android Development] Z51:
Tell me how to dump what you need. I'm rooted
[G2 Original Android Development] gbeardmore:
So, how DID you get it installed? From what I'm reading, it seems GooManager (and now Flashify) aren't the best options. I just rooted and would like to get TWRP installed. But I have to admit to not being very versed in the ADB command line.

Thanks!

No go bro ;(
[G2 Original Android Development] TaRsY:
Guys!

You all misunderstand something.

It's not the recovery that's not supporting official kitkat. At this moment if you want to use a custom recovery under kitkat you have to have the 4.2.2 bootstack (old bootloader which can be loki'd, updated firmware etc). First you need to downgrade to 4.2.2 using a kdz, flash a custom recovery for your variant, flash kitkat rom from zip not kdz, AND flash the patched kitkat kernel in order to be able to boot kitkat with the old bootloader and reach the recovery aferwards. (not sure if the recovery has to be reflashed or not).

And one of the most important thing: for the patched kernel we need the kernel source but that's only available for d800 and d801 now, d802 source isn't released yet. So int. users like me have to wait till source will be released. I'm pretty sure once all the sources are out devs will make flashable zips containing everyting you need and proper guides to help users and rom chefs will change to the patched kernel to make flashing easier. But now just wait for the sources and you will be fine. I hope I helped you. :)
