FreeGee CWM 6.0.4.7

I just flashed CWM 6.0.4.7 from the FreeGee app and cache wipe is fast. It's not touch or swipe. Might try and see if I can create touch and swipe versions. If I do, I'll share them unless someone beats me to it.

Can somebody please help me out?

I have been using the USB OTG version of TWRP for some time now, without any problems.

In order to save space I have been using my USB stick to store all my ROM zips, backups, etc.

Never had any problems with this.

BUT, of course, today when I went to install a ROM update, it no longer recognizes the USB stick. At all.

Yes, I already wiped my device, (Cache, Dalvik, System) so I cannot boot back to the ROM.

Yes, my previous backup is on the USB stick.

Yes, I have tried using 2 different USB sticks with my nexus 7 ( I am using a small micro usb to usb dongle) and they both work fine.

Why is this happening? Would it help if I wiped data as well? Don't want to try unless I know it will fix the problem.

I was running CM11 nightlies, on VS980.

Having trouble getting device recognized via ADB, so thats why I haven't been succesful that route either...

Thank you
[Verizon LG G2] Snuzzo:
Sounds more like a USB port problem.
[Verizon LG G2] dragonboydbboy:
When I plugged in the USB earlier, when I was still in the actual ROM, it was able to find it just fine.

So no, not a USB problem...

Is it safe to flash these on a non 12B G2. Never took the update and just want to make sure they will work prior to flashing. Currently using CWM 6.0.4.4 but was looking to switch to TWRP 2.6.3.4 with OTG.

Do I need to delete the loki_flash/loki_patch files or am I good to go?
[Verizon LG G2] datechnerd:
I'd leave 'em there but you can delete them if you'd like
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
cool ill just leave them. one more question...(sorry for all the inquiries, just making sure im good to go) i flashed twrp from freegee in order to get a custom recovery, however it says that its v2.6.3.0. is there any way of replacing it with v2.6.3.3? maybe extracting the .3 image and push it via adb or even copy/paste it with root explorer?
[Verizon LG G2] datechnerd:
The twrp.lok is 2.6.3.3, you must not have flashed it.
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
so i assume i flash the .3 twrp zip file correct? cuz i tried but if failed.
[Verizon LG G2] datechnerd:
You extract the zip and flash the twrp.lok that's why you have Loki_flash

Hello everyone.

I just spent hours reading and I'm not really clear on how to update my TWRP 2.6.3.3 to 2.6.3.4 version with OTG.

When i downloaded the file twrpotg.zip, it only contains a file .lok of 9MB.

Can someone please explain in detail how to do this?

Currently I have the ROM Malladus 1.2.8.

Thanks in advance ...

Has anyone that recently got their g2 from verizon successfully used this method for getting twrp on 12b?

Recently being within the last 10 days or so
[Verizon LG G2] Snuzzo:
Maybe check with [MENTION=2653116]DCnovicky[/MENTION] or [MENTION=2001582]acejavelin[/MENTION] I flashed about a month ago.
[Verizon LG G2] acejavelin:
These are old... If your not rooted, use ioroot, if you are just flash TWRP or CWM with FreeGee, from there you can flash TWRP 2.7 from link at the bottom of the first post in TWRP 2.7 Holofied thread in LG G2 - G2 Themes and Apps section from your recovery of choice.
[Verizon LG G2] xemnas18:
I was rooted but then i tried flashing twrp with freegee and somehow bricked my g2. So now i'm hoping this manual method will work on my replacement phone for twrp 2.6.3.3. The reason i asked for within the last 10 days is becuase the dev of freegee thinks that maybe the new g2 phones coming from verizon have something different about them that caused the brick. I don't want to risk bricking again so i just wanted to see if anyone had successfully done it
[Verizon LG G2] acejavelin:
Hmm... Interesting. I can't imagine what would be different if they have the same build and firmware. When I did mine about 5 weeks ago it went textbook perfect.

Of course, if you feel there is a real potential of bricking, don't do it.

My understanding though is the G2 is pretty much unbrickable, thanks to LG's flash tool and the fact the download mode is in a section of the bootloader that is protected. Weird.
[Verizon LG G2] rfarrah:
Fwiw, I flashed TWRP 2.7.0.0 yesterday via Flashify. No problems so far, but I haven't yet tried an OTG connection.
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
This is why I don't use those apps. ADB push never fails....

sent from my hsvxo out in cbciioebd
[Verizon LG G2] xemnas18:
It might not have been a true hard brick but it was close enough. No recovery, no download mode, not recognized by anything, and nothing on screen. So lg flash tool was useless too.

Agreed, i wish i had just done the manual method but too late for that now. If the problem is with a change in new g2's though, then even adb could have ended the same way. So now i'm stuck trying to figure out how to get recovery. A big part of the problem is due to the fact that nobody knows what caused the brick in the first place

Can you get into fastboot mode?

TWRP issue

Sorry for taking this thread briefly off topic, but I have a recovery issue and the posters here seemed knowledgable so I thought I would give this a try.

I am running TWRP ....3.3 and cannot restore. I can backup OK but when I try to restore I get a failed message after the system restore. Ironically, I had no problems with this recovery until the past several weeks. Basically, the system files restore and then the message pops up at the end in bright red. I originally got this on 3.4 and flashed back to 3.3 with same results. I am willing to try a different recovery if anybody thinks that will solve it, but don't want to risk a brick. Thanks for your help.

[Verizon LG G2] docslate:
If I am already on TWRP what is the safest or easiest way?
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
Which do you want? Safest or easiest? Safest would be to push it via adb. Easiest would be to use an app (freegee or flashify). I, personally, use the adb method as it checks for errors. If there are errors, recovery file won't push.

how exactly do i do this my guess adb push recovery recoveryname wanting to get recovery want to flash malidus just unbricked my g2 dont want to take an ota while rooted oh also do i need to the phone in any kind of special mode or instuctions would be great this phone needs to last me atleast another month till i get a nexus 5 still keeping my g2 though need a non verizon device
[Verizon LG G2] xemnas18:
How did you brick yours?
[Verizon LG G2] spinninbsod:
tried to flash furnace 1.8.0 on cm 10.2 didnt work to well bricked system/recovery im on 11a now freegee says it does not support 11a either downgraded to 11a for no reason should flashify work for installing twrp on 11a
[Verizon LG G2] xemnas18:
Flashing twrp on 11a is easy with adb (i recommend this way as it's probably safest). Just use this guide. All you have to do is adb push the 2.6.3.2 img file and then flash the 2.6.3.3 zip file in recovery. Here's a video guide of the entire process.
[Verizon LG G2] spinninbsod:
my phone was still having hardware problems got a replacement will the method you listed above work on 12b as well
[Verizon LG G2] xemnas18:
Yes but you will need a different file. Use the twrp.lok file on the op of this thread and push that with adb. Same commands and guide, just replace openrecovery blah blah with twrp.lok
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Or if you still want to use flashify, take the twrp.lok from this thread, and change it to twrp.IMG and flash it.

That's what I did last time I flashed my recovery. First time using flashify, I always pushed via adb. Flashify worked great for me
[Verizon LG G2] SoulOfDownfall:
Im sorry for seeming dumb, but what exactly did you do?

I have been researching for hours on how to get a custom recovery on 12b... i really dont know how. i rooted using ioroot24 but i just got the replacement phone today and i dont want to brick it using apps. I really really want to flash paranoid android but im frightened by the whole thing. is the 12b issue still not patched after like 4 months?
[Verizon LG G2] xemnas18:
Honestly, I flashed back to 11a because 12b was just problems for me. But again, all you have to do is adb push the twrp.lok to get recovery on 12b...look at my last post.

I have not tried it though. Last time I tried getting recovery on 12b I hard bricked my g2 (was using an app so my fault) so I ended up going back to 11a on my replacement. Took me 10 min today to get recovery and Roms and its safer in my opinion
[Verizon LG G2] player911:
Yea 12B fixed charging issues but broke Push exchange email.
[Verizon LG G2] SoulOfDownfall:
i pushed and loki flashed or whatever and got philz up and running. Flashing PA now.

EDIT: everything works!! sooo happy cant wait to finally go to bed haha. thank you all
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
I was just trying to make the process easier (using flashify versus pushing it via adb)

All you have to do is change the file name to .IMG and flashify can use any of the files listed in the op to flash a recovery on 12b

Bit off topic, but what the sh*t is up with the XDA app making us use web browsers for Verizon?

[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
If you can't use the hardware keys to get into your recovery download the lg flash tool to go back to factory 11a. There's not much you can't recovery from using this phone, I've used the flash took three times now, it works well.

Keep in mind you will lose all your data and need to reroot and such.

Also, if your phone is plugged into the computer or the wall charging, you can't get into recovery via the hardware keys. (Some people are not aware of this)

If you use Philz, can you get to recovery by hard reset using hardware keys?

[Verizon LG G2] 08BajaBoy:
does anyone know where I can find an explanation of what all the different format options are in CWM recovery? I see the usual suspects listed on the CyanogenMod Wiki, but there are a few that aren't listed that seem to be LG specific.

Also, if I format everything in the list, what am I left with? I know all of my data will be gone. But does the recovery image and ROM installed survive the formatting? Or will I need to push a few files via adb?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Did you Google cwm and go to their website? I've never heard of them doing stuff device specific.

Never wipe internal and you will be fine. Factory reset = data, cache, and dalvek.

Clean or full wipe = data, cache, dalvek, and system.

Never wipe internal unless you are looking to sideload your next ROM.

[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Can't speak for cwm as I used philz for all of two seconds. I've always been a twrp kinda guy, sorry.

As far as twrp, I don't think there is a way to nuke the recovery. There are two wipe modes. Factory reset and advanced.

Factory wipes data, dalvek, and cache, and in advanced you have those three options and also system and internal. None of which wipe the recovery.

I would assume that cwm would be the same way.

[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Yes youre ready. I've used flashify and it worked fine for me.

Extract the file from the zip.

If you want to be safe then push it using adb. If you push using adb then either change what you type in from push xx.IMG to xx.lok, or change the file name itself to .IMG

If using flashify change the name to .img

In don't suggest using freegee, I've seen people brick their phone using it. And by brick, I really do mean brick, (since people toss that term around out of context all the time) as in a $700 paper weight.
