[MENTION=5438547]datechnerd[/MENTION], I flashed the stable OSE from 12-27, forgetting it wouldn't work. Is that the one you fixed? If not, could you?

Here's the link where it can be downloaded since I don't know if you're on Verizon: http://www.drdevs.com/devs/teamose/OSE/Stable/vs980/

I don't think the one you fixed was the one I downloaded. Yours is 183.17mb, mine's 183.22mb.

If you have a recovery hit the power button a few times and it takes you to recovery vs factory wiping.

[Verizon LG G2] kbuck13:
Most are not compatible with12 b yet, the op here has modified a script for some bit you will need to read the thread to find them.

I saw someone did for the malladus rom around page 16, does anyone know if that works?
[Verizon LG G2] kbuck13:
Yes, I think some have tried that one and got the same results s you.

(Sorry for all the questions. I'll prob end up trying it out tomorrow or Monday but wanted to get some info first)
[Verizon LG G2] Dork6243:
Stability and battery seem great, no reboots or SODs. Very lightweight, smooth and responsive.

[Verizon LG G2] datechnerd:
fingers crossed
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
Ok, so in TWRP it looked like it flashed, but at the end it said failed.

assert failed. run program ("/tmp/loki.sh")

Still said something about updater binary. I rebooted and it did flash (status bar icons were white, boot animation was different) but kept getting com.android.phone FC's over and over. Had to restore to stock 12B.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
That means the ROM u flashed is missing that file to run.
[Verizon LG G2] datechnerd:
I put Loki in the root of the zip and replaced the lines in the update-script
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
Yea I figured it was the ROM itself.

Did you update it again, or is it still the same file?

Edit: just remembered that you need to flash gapps with malladus. Gonna try it again with gapps.

I need to reflash TWRP after the 12B update.
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
I used the adb method. Worked perfect.
[Verizon LG G2] kbuck13:
I also pushed out with adb after talking with the smart ones here.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
I've seen way too posts about people bricking their devices using apps like feegee and flashify.

[Verizon LG G2] datechnerd:
loki is in the right spot and the lines in the updater script match
[Verizon LG G2] neduzak999:
I also flashed via adb and worked perfectly
[Verizon LG G2] JRJ442:
I opened up a ticket on TWRP's bug tracker. I'm not really sure if they're aware of Loki having to be updated and all that since they have so many other devices to deal with. If anyone wants to leave a comment on my post helping to explain it better or provide more info, or even to correct anything I could be wrong about https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/252
[Verizon LG G2] datechnerd:
Don't these work? If you opened for Rom flashing issues on 12b it's usually the developer didn't update Loki for 12b on that rom
[Verizon LG G2] JRJ442:
These work I'm assuming, I never flashed them because I never took the OTA, just flashed the radio. Part of the reason I opened that is because there was issues with TWRP and Kit Kat Roms before 12B. The 2.6.3.3 version had some issues with lots of ROMs I tried. The unofficial by Wootever which was 2.6.3.4 flashed them just fine. So I was assuming a new official one would be best, and maybe someone in here would like to add some comments to the ticket or correct anything I might be wrong about. Wasn't Loki patched by DrJbliss to work for the 12B update anyway? Thought I read that somewhere.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
http://www.mediafire.com/?83rbyi1r5n51hpu

I use that version of 2.6.3.3 and I have flashed every single ROM for this device, and I have not had a single issue.

If my memory serves me right this was tinkered by some guy.

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

Flashes every and anything
[Verizon LG G2] JRJ442:
Yeah I used that fixed one too and had a few flash failures. 4.3 ROMs were fine but it failed to flash a couple of early 4.4 ROMs
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
I have flashed every single aosp 4.4 ROM. So unless you are talking about stock based 4.4 Roms, I have no idea wht you have issues with it.

I hate the stock ui, so I've not flashed them
[Verizon LG G2] JRJ442:
Liquid and the very first AOKP build failed with it. They flashed fine with Wootevers 2.6.3.4, so I was assuming the problem was resolved in the new versions.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Eh. Didn't know there was a liquid ROM. And for aokp I used it to flash the unofficial Dr put up in the 802 thread. That's strange indeed

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

I'm glad we have a working twrp I tried using cwm before, and it made me feel weird haha
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
Have you flashed cyanfox? Gotta say, prob the best aosp 4.4 ROM atm. Been running it a few days with paeks kernel, no reboots or SoD's at all! Battery is great! I've flashed CM and gummy and this is by far my favorite. Flashed with no probs using TWRP 2.6.3.3 from OP.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Eh. I flashed it long enough to get my stuff set up then left it.

I tried to flash with my 4.4.2 banks core gapps that I have used on everything else with non issue and it was nonstop system ui force close

I reflashed with their gapps and the install went fine. I was digging the customization, set my clock to center view and rebooted.

The clock dissapeared and for the life of me I could not get it back. Wiped cache and dalvek a few times. Rebooted. Tried turning it on and offz and nothing.

Went back to mahdi ROM until carbon implements their soft keys then I will more than likely make that my home.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
You should try out gr33n d3vils cm 11 if you prefer a cm base. His unofficial is Mich more stable than offixal.

I prefer more aosp built Roms, I like having more ring targets than three and I like having more tweeks then cm offers.

I'm torn right now between Ose,Vanir, and Carbon.

I'm running Mahdi right now, but i t has a ton of different things I don't take advantage of, so they are wasted on my phone. Vanir notable runs faster then other Roms for whatever reason.

Just flash that in the existing recovery (2.6.3.2)? Or should I pull the image and use flashify?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Flash it as you would a rom
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Not sure then. Lol
[Verizon LG G2] paedz718:
sorry for my confusion, but I recently received my VZW G2 w/ 12B on it. Can i not follow WACOmalt's instructions to install TWRP 2.6.3.3 anymore? Not sure where the patched TWRP.lok in the OP of this thread comes into play. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
The file in his zip is the lokified IMG for your recovery that you push with adb. Or use flashify or however you are installing it
[Verizon LG G2] paedz718:
I think I got it. So I can just rename it to TWRP.IMG and then flash it using WACOMalt's method in this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2449670? the fact that it is named TWRP.LOK was throwing me off
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Yep. Or just change all of his instances to .lok
[Verizon LG G2] paedz718:
didn't realize the .lok and .img extensions were interchangeable. thanks for the info :good:
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Hope you know what you're getting Into. Not a lot of Roms support the 12b patch lol
[Verizon LG G2] paedz718:
Unfortunately I do, looks like only 2 from the OP as of now, that right? I've been following all the ROM threads before I got my device and had a complete understanding of what to do out the box, root, install the loki'd recovery on 11A and ROM. Then when I realized I already had 12B, it was back to the drawing board. 11A seemed so much easier, but I know I can downgrade if I want to. Thanks for the help in the meantime
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
If you want aosp gr33n d3vils unoficcal is patched for it. Its actually the best cm based aosp out there anyways
[Verizon LG G2] paedz718:

[Verizon LG G2] Damasterjj:
3 questions

1. What is the difference between CWN and TWRP in terms of features?

2. I have TWRP so my question is while in recovery can I transfer files between PC to G2?

3. is TWRP nandroid backup compatible with CWN or vice versa?
[Verizon LG G2] JRJ442:
Features are pretty much the same I think. TWRP is completely themeable, as long as you can find themes for our resolution. Which there's some in the N5 themes and apps. Yes for #2, although I've never actually tried it I've seen people say you can. And no for the 3rd
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
I prefer twrp because it restores backups fast.
[Verizon LG G2] Damasterjj:
I can't figure out how to mount G2 to PC so I can transfer files between the two while in recovery.
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
Don't think you can mount to a PC. USB otg works fine.

what's that?
[Verizon LG G2] getut:
Could someone kindly explain the issues with this either in a post here or update the original?

Things that I am unsure about and how they relate specifically to this thread...

1) Detailed steps to go from 12b OTA to this recovery directly on a brand new phone

2) What are the detailed steps to go from a previous custom recovery/ROM to this?

3) What ROM issues exist if running this recovery? Can I still flash the Cyanogenmod nightlies? or other ROM of my choice?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
The processes are the same. Google ioroot16, because the one linked in the rooting thread is only version 10. Instead of pushing the image on that same thread use the ones posted here.

There is no list to which Roms work. I know gr33nd3vils unofficial cm is patched for it if you want aosp. Most of the stock Roms are patched for it, but the only thing you can do are check in those threads to see if they will work.
[Verizon LG G2] getut:
Thanks for the ultra quick response!!!!

I've done some quick digging and gone back as far in the change history as I can find in the nightlies and see no reference to 12b so far. Does anyone know for sure if the official Cyanogenmod nightlies are supporting this yet?

If I simply do a backup with my current TWRP and then upgrade to the 12b patched version and TRY the most current Cyanogenmod, will I be able to get back if I restore my backup?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
I don't know of it is patched or not. I would assume it is with them being cm but like o said you would be better off posting in the official thread to see.

Honestly gr33nd3vils cm is more stable then the official, so I don't know why you would even want to use it.

As for the backup, I have no idea. Going from 11a or w/e to 12b you might lose your backups.
[Verizon LG G2] getut:
Ahh dangit.. Thanks for replying again lawirus.. and sorry for the stream of questions... I meant to put this one in the previous post but forgot.

Is there any way yet to get just the radio update that comes with 12b and bypass all the other issues? My previous phone was a Sprint Google Nexus and it usually had radio only updates, but I have yet to encounter those for this phone.

BTW, I have asked the 12b question in the CM11 official thread if there is anyone else interested in the answer.

In the radio thread read the first few pages. Op links another thread of his for a very easy way to back up your efs. If you flash the radio and your efs gets screwed up with no backup you are Sol. Every phone has its on specific efs. I flashed the raido just fine though.

If you're on the 12b ota, you can realistically install the recovery however you want to. Freegee, flashify, philz, or push it using adb.

Second - sorry if this is super noobish - but if we have used one of these due to being on the 12B OTA, and then flashed a ROM - like Gr33nd3vil's CM11 mod - can we then move back to whatever recoveries are out there, or should we always stick with these patched versions?
