Did you reboot recovery after changing FS? You need to format then go to reboot->recovery. Things act wonky if you don't do that.
[G2 Android Development] ZeNiXxX:
yes. I've tried this to.

That's strange I was about 3 or 4 weeks on data/cache /dalvik cache f2fs file system on render r10 and blisspop 2.0 with your twrp 2.8.5.0 and now 2.8.5.1 without any problems. all was running fine with f2fs...

But the last 3 days I just can't wipe cache/ dalvik cache and data ( all formated to f2fs). Like I described before the progress bar just stuck and whole device reboots. System ( ext4) is working/ wiping fine. Currently I've change alle partitions back to ext4 and I have no problem with wiping cache/data/ dalvik cache.

I've tried to delete the /cache/dalvik cache folder with twrp file manager -> stuck and reboot

and I've navigated to /cache/ backup and tried to delete it to -> same here

Similar issue here, on 2.8.5.1

I'm on latest version Blisspop if 2.0 on my oneplus. It's the exact same issue I'm having! Did read a lot of forums with twrp having issues to decrypt and not accepting the password. , I didn't find anyone having it resolved yet, any update is appreciated!
[G2 Android Development] pattonsj:
No update from me. Neither Dees_Troy nor blastagator run encryption on their devices so is hard for them to test and it is also not a priority for them which I understand. Right now I'm waiting for the Nexus 6 to hit Verizon. I'm trying to decide between it and the Note 4 which no one has gotten root on, yet. I will be upgrading to one of the 2 in the next few days so I haven't really been keeping up lately. I do wish they could fix because it looks like I will have the problem on any device.

Just to add for information's sake I get the same errors trying from Ubuntu as I do from Windows.

Hi

I installed 3 version of TWRP 2.7.0.0, then installed 2.8.1.0 and finally the last one 2.8.5.1.

All versions doesn't allow me to flash or do any action, because i just can't swipe...

Is this common? Or just happen in these versions and i'm a unlucky guy, because i flashed all of these, and the others are good?

Can someone clarify me why the swipe button isn't working? Thanks in advance
[G2 Android Development] condudad:
2.8.1.2 maybe starts getting old already but the issues that some seem to have on 2.8.5.1 with advanced wipe/swipe etc. are working fine. Just an fyi :angel:
[G2 Android Development] :
If you are on vs980 xdadeb had a few flashable zip to nuke laf for fastboot as well as a zip to restore download mode... These may work on other variants as well.

Might be worth a try. Though I forget why you couldn't just sideload a rom.

You should really start your own thread for help with your issue instead of cluttering the twrp thread, since it's not a twrp issue.

I'd sent you a PM trying to figure out exactly what was going on to try and help you fix it... Probably a week ago now, but you never replied back to that.

---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 AM ----------

You need to backup your internal sdcard and reformat to fix it.

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ----------

It's go with the nexus personally... If I'm not mistaken, the note series all have knox counters or efuses... So not too many people are willing to risk rooting them. Don't think nexus does.

I thought that too get encryption working, they had a thing for if you use pattern lock that you needed to use the numerical map for the dots to unlock it for now. Or is your issue different?
[G2 Android Development] pattonsj:
The bounty on root for the Note 4 is over $10k now so I somebody will get it I'm sure. I would have to wait until mid March for the Nexus from Verizon. Don't get me started about that. I would wait but I have a 1/2" strip on my g2 display that doesn't respond to touches.

I use a pin to unlock my device so the pattern thing doesn't apply although I did see that issue.
[G2 Android Development] ZeNiXxX:
already did that three times ... after flashing my rom with full wipe... it comes back ...
[G2 Android Development] weinbers:
Same issue for me of late, I've tried 2.8.5.1, 2.8.2.1 from Blastegator and even tried a non-bumped TWRP image but nothing improves it. Rally hard to flash another rom when I can't slide to confirm. Any help would be appreciated!
[G2 Android Development] ruicc:
Hi,

I found out what's happened on my G2...the display developed 2 dead zones... one is 20 mm from the bottom and is from side to side and the other one is from the top to the bottom and this area stays right in front of the swipe button in TWRP...i only can move the swipe button 2 or 3 mm, then i get the dead zone and the button get back to the beginning....so for now i'm using philz recovery, till i buy a new display....
[G2 Android Development] josue270193:
Hi, i have some doubts about connect my 1 TB external hdd with NTFS by usb-otg with this recovery, because it doesnt connect when i select storage usb-otg it still show 0MB, i know that twrp support NTFS only read mode but for me even that work. what would i do? do i need to change the format of my hdd? to exFat? Thanks

i installed the twrp 2.8.5.1
[G2 Android Development] gobonja:
Same problem here.
[G2 Android Development] sobitthen:
OP uses same phone so version question.

Trying to figure out which TWRP update I should flash now that my phone thinks it is an LG-G2 D801 when it actually is a D800...

When I first installed it I used the Autorec method, it asked me about unlocking my SD card, I chose NO, since the D800 does not have an SD card, it appeared to install, but TWRP manager said it wasn't, and the D800 isn't on the supported list, I enabled advanced boot options and when I rebooted into recovery, low and behold, version 2.7.0.0 was there.

I flashed CM12 semi-nightly and now the about phone thinks it is the D801, and Google calls it an AT&T Lge LG-D801 in Google Play.

So I would like to know which version of TWRP I should use to update this and the location of the appropriate zip file and method of installation. If just a ZIP assuming follow your directions by wiping caches and flashing the ZIP file, but since warnings of bricks from using the wrong version, I ask here since confused by the new name... thanks all..
[G2 Android Development] bolt890:
Same here, i tried downgrading back to 2.8.4 but now even it was giving similar issues, had to reformat evrything.
[G2 Android Development] sobitthen:
GHammer posted a reply on another thread on the CM12 itself and states I should keep using the D800 even though about phone says D801, hopefully he is correct but was hoping someone with a few more posts or the OP would confirm this...
[G2 Android Development] :
Pretty much the only thing that installing a rom would do to make the phone think it was something other than what it is would be changing the build.prop. Yes this would also be reflected in the play store. Make a nandroid then Get a root file manager, navigate to system, mount as rw, and open build.prop for editing. Find the lines

# ro.build.product is obsolete; use ro.product.device

ro.build.product=vs980

ro.product.model=LG-VS980

ro.product.device=vs980

Mine say vs980 because that's what I have. Just change those to what you have. Reboot the phone.

To reflect this in play store you probably need to clear data for play store and maybe Google Services. Then reboot again.

If something doesn't work right, just restore the nandroid.

Flash the recovery for your version. But always make sure you have a working system to boot into if possible before flashing the recovery. Also, no need to wipe anything when flashing a recovery... It doesn't really write anything important anywhere besides the twrp folder on the sdcard. Recoveries load from a partition into ram and flush when you restart.
[G2 Android Development] sobitthen:
Thanks will have to see how to do this Nandroid back-up as TWRP doesn't think it is installed and when trying to use it within recovery it failed backing up the stock ROM before the flash and I just risked it assuming the factory backup was intact...

Perhaps after I flash an update to the TWRP this backup within it will work, I miss the other recoveries now...

There is no SD card on my device, has built in 32G of data space.. unless I am to think of that as the SD, if so I did choose NO when it asked me about some lock on it... reason said needs a tutorial on using it for our AT&T version if this G2..
[G2 Android Development] :
It counts part of the internal storage as an sdcard.

Tbh, I would just download the right version your phone, extract the .IMG from the zip and flash that through flashify.

Or just kdz or tot back to stock and start over.
[G2 Android Development] sobitthen:
Then I should have chosen yes when it asked me about SD storage when installing TWRP?

All seemed to work well, although today I noticed when I connect my phone to my computer via the USB cable the computer does not see the phone... Going to reboot both devices and hope I can access the phone...
[G2 Android Development] :
No idea. I'd say yes... But AutoRec doesn't prompt me about sdcard on vs980
[G2 Android Development] blastagator:
ROM and Recovery are independent. You must match TWRP to your actual phone model, not what ROM says phone model is.
[G2 Android Development] :
The problem with this though is if you're doing device asserts in the zip, the rom having the wrong values could possibly make the asserts fail.

I can't recall how the get prop function works in twrp anymore.
[G2 Android Development] sobitthen:
Well I flashed it, it wanted to clean out the dalvik and cache and I allowed it, reboot took about 20 minutes to update 166 apps, everything seems to function as before, have not tried to enter recovery to verify the version was changed, will do so shortly, I was late to watch local ice races... A few of the shells they used in the race I would have put my spare GTO engine into, there was a really clean 57 Chevy and some late 70s Camaros and Grand Prixs too..

Confirmed I could enter recovery and 2.8.5.1 and temps and battery level were visible..
[G2 Android Development] Murtagh92:
I can't flash a new recovery, the error is: "assert failed: run_program(" /tmp/loki.sh") == 0. This is the second time I get this error with this recovery, the last time I had to flash kdz, is there anyway to fix this? I want to install a new recovery becouse I want to come back to AOSP rom. Thanks.
[G2 Android Development] sobitthen:
You are on a TWRP now? the 2.7.0.0 or some other recovery? And which G2 variant?

More details easier to assist...

[I am going to wait until a D800 official release, phone worked great until I loaded a CM12 ROM then digitizer ghosted like crazy at the intersection of where the 2 on our phones meet. I may root and remove bloatware at that point.]
[G2 Android Development] Murtagh92:
I'm using this recovery, twrp bumped 2.8.5.1. I try to install a new rom and I get that error, if I try to install a new recovery the same. I manage only to install lollipop stock roms and KK modem.
[G2 Android Development] sobitthen:
So it is not an issue with installing this recovery, it is an issue installing a certain ROM.

The questions should be in the ROM thread itself if this recovery installed without issue.

So you are trying to replace this TWRP with a different recovery, or a different version of TWRP?

If another recovery have you posted this issue in that recovery's thread?

[Not to perpetuate what I tend to do here and flood threads with questions but, why are you changing recoveries, are you having some issue with this version? Did you follow suggested instructions on the ROM's thread, such as Factory reset-flash ROM-Flash Gapps-Flash SU-wipe cache-reboot and have this issue?]

Since this recovery installed without issue, or at least you reported none that I saw, this thread is just for updating to the latest version with the OPs mods added to watch temps and battery, your help lies elsewhere unless you suspect this recovery for your issues...
[G2 Android Development] Murtagh92:
I followed instructions. I think the problem is the recovery becouse I have the same problem with flashing roms that I already flashed with others recoveries. I want to change rom and now I can't becouse of the error I get with this recovery, otherwise what can I do?
[G2 Android Development] sobitthen:
And you are following this procedure after loading correct files for your version of G2 phone, not version phone thinks it is after a ROM flash, actual version of the phone you have?

1.) Enter recovery

2.) Perform factory reset

3.) wipe cache and dalvik {Some recoveries have option to wipe for new ROM, this is basically what it does. Steps 3+4}

4.) flash ROM

5.) flash Gapps

6.) flash SU or install from Play Store after step 7

7.) reboot

Or are you doing this another way? I am no expert, but have been flashing my phones for 3 years when needed.

If this is your method, double-check the ROM you downloaded to insure correct version for your phone, there are multiple versions of this phone and you need the correct ROMs for successful flashing...

Have you used TWRP before? This was the first time for me, I had used CWM touch then Philz touch and there is a learning curve. There is likely an option to sideload these ROM files or a recovery onto your phone, or you can use method from SuperSport and return to a factory ROM and start over too... Good luck...
[G2 Android Development] h@lek:
Which bootloader do you have? If you were on KK I believe you need bumped kernel and/or rom, I think. Because, though I am not a developer, I see the problem at loki which is not compatible with KK. Sorry if I am wrong...
[G2 Android Development] Salvi1982:
I have a F320K device, can I install this TWRB bumbed .zip on a stock 4.4.2 android simply by adb sideload or I must use autorec to downgrade and bypass the bootloader locked? I red that bumped version is compatible with KK bootloader.

I want to keep KK bootloader, without downgrading to JB bootloader and do a clean installation.

I repeat I'm on stock bootloader, only rooted.

THX for any answer!
[G2 Android Development] Murtagh92:
I used autorec to install normal twrp, now I can install every ROM, thank you all
[G2 Android Development] blastagator:
People continue to repeatedly ask the same question. Search the thread. This has been answered numerous times.

edit: Added to FAQ so everyone can stop asking!
[G2 Android Development] Salvi1982:
Hey man,

on F320K with bootloader KK 4.4.2 stock, I must downgrade on JB bootloader to bypass the locked KK bootloader or can I use adb sideload, sending directly the .zip file to the device?

sorry I don't know if korean version on stock KK 4.4.2 has a locked bootloader.

Thanks a lot!

We got root on OTA LP 39a for the vs980, but bumped twrp doesn't work and gives security error. Does it has to be rebuild on LP sources? If so, here's link:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59131826&postcount=935
[G2 Android Development] JRJ442:
Wasn't Bump patched on the LP OTA? xdabebb said it was.
[G2 Android Development] MicroMod777:
The LP ROM is only flashable on a 27a bootstack, in which the lp boot.img is bumped. On pure Lollipop 39a vs980 the bumped twrp won't run. I think I remember this same problem when bump first came out and twrp has to be bumped to work on 26a.
[G2 Android Development] :
That doesn't really make any sense....

If the bumped TWRP ran with any of the normal LP builds on 27a bootstack... there's no reason that it shouldn't work with the 39a rom. Especially if the boot.img is bumped and is booting fine.

The only things that TWRP should really care about is the Bootstack partition and the recovery partition.... at least for booting.
[G2 Android Development] MicroMod777:
Well it doesn't. Xdabbeb also can confirm it won't work on 39a. We have to revert to 28a aboot, and bumped boot.img to work.
[G2 Android Development] :
Yeah, sorry man wasn't doubting you. Was just saying that it doesn't really make much sense. I forgot about the aboot as well though.

I'm not really sure what building off the LG source would accomplish though vs CM or Omni's source. But if blastagator hasn't had a chance to give it a try by the time I get home tomorrow afternoon (wont be home till then), I can try to run off a build for you.

Is it possible that the 39a bootstack is somehow expecting a different offset or something in the boot image flags? Would it be possible to extract the stock recovery boot image and check the flags?

Sorry for the questions...
[G2 Android Development] blastagator:
Bump was posted - LG patched it. Simple :)

The typical cat & mouse continues on.
[G2 Android Development] MicroMod777:
Did u try a twrp rebuild with the LP sources on the vs980? I swear last time this happened when 26a came out and twrp was rebuilt in 26a souces n bump worked. When we bumped the 24a twrp version it on failed even when bumped on 26a.

TWRP is built from AOSP sources, more specifically, I use omnirom.

[G2 Android Development] 0xetrov1:
Guys I was installing Resurrection Remix ROM with Blackbird Kernel, the ROM didn't boot, so I have restored my early backups without any problems, but now unfortunately I have some black line vertically on the right-hand side of my screen, after I've searched, most of them say it's because my phone has generated lots of heat, but this recovery has thermal control so, what's the deal? anyway to fix it?

Recovery: TWRP 2.8.5.1 (this recovery on this thread)

ROM: CloudyG2

Kernel: Dorimanx

Thanks
[G2 Android Development] JRJ442:
It has thermal control, but there's still no guaranteed way to avoid the black lines. In the thread here on XDA, a few users got them from accepting OTA's with stock recovery. Thank LG for that. There isn't a fix I'm afraid. Besides buying a new display

[G2 Android Development] blastagator:
Such as?
[G2 Android Development] tarroyo:
Follow the same steps of wiping system, cache, and data then flashing a new rom? I'm using a rom with a compatible kernel so there's no need to change my file system every time right?

I'm thinking I only have to reformat to f2fs when its a ext4 only rom
[G2 Android Development] blastagator:
ROM will likely automatically format /system as ext4. It probably/might format /data to ext4 as well (depending on ROM and what it installs). I updated the main post with more f2fs info.

I'd recommend installing ROM with everything ext4. Then backup /data, convert /data to f2fs, then restore /data. Make sure to reboot recovery any time you change partition format, TWRP doesn't seem to like when you don't.

UPDATED OP to address more f2fs information!

.
[G2 Android Development] tarroyo:
Will this process touch internal storage? I don't see the point in having to transfer over all my files every time I wanna flash a new rom with f2fs.
