Download the zip for your phone model. Extract the recovery.IMG inside. Download flashify from play store. Run and allow root. Choose to flash recovery image and select the file you extracted earlier.

I'd use freegee instead of flashify. I had better luck with that.
[G2 Original Android Development] thenimboo:
How can I install Philz touch with freegee on my ls980? It doesn't show up as one of the options.

Every time I try to load Philz touch I get a faulty boot.

I did have success with loading CWM recovery though. Only thing I don't like about it is how hard it is to get at the nandroid files now...I used to transfer them to my computer easily. Now it sucks :( Why can't I mount it as an external drive or something? Why can't the windows explorer have root access?
[G2 Original Android Development] jhorton014:
Sorry. My mistake. Install either cwm or twrp through freegee. Then download your version of Philz and flash it through your recovery. With the ls980 you may have to flash an older version of Philz first then flash the latest version through the Philz recovery.

First 6.19.3,

Than 6.19.7
[G2 Original Android Development] jhorton014:
So does anybody know why when I flash a ROM using 6.19.7 I just get a boot loop?

---------- Post added at 05:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 AM ----------

Never had this much trouble with any other phone flashing Roms.
[G2 Original Android Development] bahrosuz:
Have you flash first 6.19.3?
[G2 Original Android Development] jhorton014:
Yes. I don't have issues with the recovery. But it doesn't matter what recovery I use every time I flash a ROM it just repeats the LG bootlogo.
[G2 Original Android Development] bahrosuz:
Maybe the Kernel, or a bad download?
[G2 Original Android Development] jhorton014:
It's every ROM I try though.
[G2 Original Android Development] bahrosuz:
Which ROM was the last without Problems?
[G2 Original Android Development] jhorton014:
The last ones I tried were cm 11 m4, cm 11 nightly, and latest aokp nightly.

I'm sorry I've suggested all the things I've gotten hung up on. I've been using PhilZ with the aroma file manager for over 3 months, have a stable of themes for it and other than knucklehead stuff I've done like above have had no issues. By far the King of recoveries for me. Have you tried to flash another recovery to see if your ROMs flash OK?

[G2 Original Android Development] jhorton014:
Thanks for the help. I'll Let you guys know if I figure it out.

I believe if you flash PhilZ you'll find an option "don't allow old updater-binary. " uncheck it and Malladus should install.

it can be installed your recovery on D802 KK with stock recovery?

[G2 Original Android Development] halaros2:
If you took the official OTA update or flashed official 4.4.2 kdz no you can't have a custom recovery you have to downgrade to 4.2.2 using flash tool and then flash recovery and custom 4.4.2 rom
[G2 Original Android Development] barikke74:
Can i ask you why this?
[G2 Original Android Development] sanke1:
Loki exploit has been patched in 4.4.2 bootloader which prevents installing custom recovery.
[G2 Original Android Development] Phil3759:
For my own knowledge: LG is not allowing users to flash any custom recovery? They do not even provide an unlock option like HTC or Samsung with KNox?

Really wired move from LG if it is the case. It won't encourage developers to support their devices
[G2 Original Android Development] Nemesis757:
that's correct
[G2 Original Android Development] jonstrong:
Seems that the exploit that loki was based on no longer works in kitkat, and a workaround hasn't been identified yet. Yes - disappointing move for anyone who likes to flash / mod / customize. Annoying as it is, I'm guessing that the ROM flashing community represents a very small fraction of LG's customer base -- LG is probably ok sacrificing it in exchange for whatever "stability" they feel they get with a locked-down phone.

Hoping that a new exploit is, indeed, found for this. Great phone - it would be nice to be able to keep modding it out for a few years.

tHIS MEANS THAT KITKAT KDZ STOCK KK CAN BE ROOTED
[MENTION=643734]Philz[/MENTION] CAN WE NOW INSTALL YOUR LATEST RECOVERY ON KK

PL RESPOND
[G2 Original Android Development] dr87:
its only a root, doesn't have anything to do with exploiting the kk bootloader to use loki / recovery
[G2 Original Android Development] jonstrong:
Exactly. ioroot 25 can root stock kitkat, but loki, in its current form, will not work to bypass bootloader restrictions and allow flashing a custom recovery.
[G2 Original Android Development] Phil3759:
Does this mean no custom rom and no custom kernel?
[G2 Original Android Development] dr87:
on the 4.4.2 bootloader recovery isn't possible yet

Users need to downgrade to 4.2.2 KDZ to flash the old partitions / bootloader

4.4.2 bootloader is loki proof (for now, maybe forever)
[G2 Original Android Development] jonstrong:
Some experiments in progress - frankenstein style, grafting parts of 4.2.2 (bootloader I believe) under kitkat and creating a flashable kitkat ROM. Last I looked, it sounded promising. I'm guessing there may be stable versions out pretty soon, with means custom ROM's and kernels could continue for those who ignore the OTA and use this approach. Also hoping a new exploit is worked out for kitkat - that would simplify things pretty significantly.
[G2 Original Android Development] :
I have TWRP 2.7.0.0 on KK since i have install it on 4.2.2 and im using a custom 4.4.2 or are you guys talking about philz's
[G2 Original Android Development] TUPAC_RIP:
We are talking about custom recovery with official kk.

Of course we can have custom recovery with custom kk.
[G2 Original Android Development] :
Oh my bad ! thanks for clearing that out for me :)
[G2 Original Android Development] yasser1981m:
newly updated to KK

sorry for my silly question .. but I've just updated the device to KK via OTA and then I rooted it and now I'm planning to install custom recovery ... after i read your reply i concluded that it is not possible to install any custom recovery (Philz , TWRP , etc..) due to this loki things.. please correct me if I'm wrong ..
[G2 Original Android Development] freebee269:
correct. you are on the OTA update therefore you can not have a custom recovery. if you downgrade to the 4.2.2 firmware with a program like lg flashtools then you can have philz recovery. then from there you just flash a custom stock kitkat rom (that will have the patched kernel) with the kitkat baseband for your device.
[G2 Original Android Development] freebee269:
here is a loki'd recovery of philz latest version for D800 & D802 users. this has been loki'd from d80010d & D802b aboot. this is for people just coming to philz recovery for the first time or for people not wanting to have to flash previous versions to get to the new one. just install through adb and go. i've flashed 4.2.2 and 4.4.2 roms with this so i know it works without any problems.

after you are rooted on android 4.2.2, put this file in the same folder as adb.exe:

D800 Instructions:

- open command prompt in your adb folder by holding down shift + right click then click on open command window here.

- adb push philz_touch_6.25.0-d800.lok /sdcard/

- adb shell

- su (grant permission on phone)

- dd if=/sdcard/philz_touch_6.25.0-d800.lok of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

- reboot recovery

D802 Instructions:

- open command prompt in your adb folder by holding down shift + right click then click on open command window here.

- adb push philz_touch_6.25.4-d802.lok /sdcard/

- adb shell

- su (grant permission on phone)

- dd if=/sdcard/philz_touch_6.25.4-d802.lok of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

again just to verify if you don't mind ...no need to downgrade to 4.2 in this case ? i'm on stock 4.4.2 now and i rooted the device ..can i use your recovery right away ?

Thank you.

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

Do you already have a custom recovery installed or the stock recovery? If stock recovery then you will need to go back to android 4.2.2 and get a custom recovery then you can use philz recovery. If already have custom recovery just flash his newest recovery because it's not dependent on having a previous version already flashed anymore.
[G2 Original Android Development] mor_1228:
so it means still we dont have a solution to directly install custom recovery on kitkat
[G2 Original Android Development] blackwing182:
when i reboot to recovery, im grtting screen glitches (distortioned screen) i have to manually reboot a lot of times to fix the issue.
[G2 Original Android Development] pqee:
I'm having the same problems. Booting to recovery from power off works fine. It's only when booting to recovery directly from an app that the screen glitches out so bad you can't read anything on it.
[G2 Original Android Development] Lawlrus:
Have you guys tried to reflash the recovery zip? May have been a bad install

Sent from my LG-VS980
[G2 Original Android Development] pqee:
Things seem to be working fine since reflashing Philz. Even flashed a new kernel from RomToolbox and was able to see the install fine.

I reflashed the same 6.25.4 zip directly from Philz and haven't seen the screen glitch yet. I had screen issues on the past few versions even after multiple reflashes so didn't even try reflashing this one. Guess I was one flash too short of getting it working.

Hello. Earlier on this thread people were helping me try to figure out why I couldn't install cm 11 or any other aosp ROM on my ls980. I finally figured it out and wanted to come back and let everyone know because we couldn't figure it out here. Basically aosp ROMs aren't compatible with the G2's ZVC or ZVA radio. So you have to either flash a ZV7/8 radio or a ZVA radio along with a Furnace kernel. Hope this helps somebody. Right now I'm on cm 11 m5 with ZVA radio and furnace kernel. I also tested this with PAC ROM and AOKP and all was well.
