I installed Rom Manager and then downloaded the recovery for Samsung galaxy s2. When hit reboot into recovery. I am unable to perform any operations in CWM. I had to connect the phone via usb and issue a "adb reboot" command to get back.
How do we make cwm work.

Also must people are having issues flashing in cwm after using ROM manager. If you try installing from cwm and get verification error you needed to flash again then kernel and don't use ROM manager
Flashed CWM and nothing is happening
I flashed CWM Recovery 5.0.2.3 using the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823. However, when i go into CWM and select something the only thing that happens is the logo for CWM shows up with a black screen. When I push the power button again it will go back to the list.I am using the stock rom and it hasn't even been rooted yet. When I try to root using super one click, it gets stuck at step #5. Please Advise.

Dont use Rom Manager. It is known to have issues with the S2
I use CWM Manager and have no problems.....

The key mapping is different. I had the same issue. Try the home key to select in place of the power button and the back key for back
Also if not rooted I do not think CWM will work...
Use this by Entropy512 it is flawless.

Root is having access to root account in os. It has nothing to do with cwm since cwm is loaded before the os loads.
They are irrelevant

In addition, all of our CWM-enabled kernels are "insecure" kernels - They give root at all times to ADB sessions, this is why SuperOneClick works after flashing them.
But only ADB sessions get root, so you use the "rooted" ADB shell to root the system partition. After that you've got perma-root until you nuke su and Superuser.apk from /system

I think I am confused again?
When I flash a kernel, I have root. I have never used super one click. Just flashed your kernel. I thought that is what gave me root? Are you saying I still do not have root for /system files? Or does your kernel push su and superuser when it is flashed?

Mine does, codeworkx's doesn't.
Setting a kernel to be insecure is a lot easier and takes less time than putting in a robust root-inject script.

Entropy512: Does this mean that codeworkx's kernel must be flashed with SuperOneClick in order to have complete root (to /system)... but with your kernels we don't need to flash SuperOneClick? If so, in order to unroot (without SuperOneClick) I suspect one would have to flash the non-root stock kernel? Thx

Yes. (Unless you flash an su package with CWM instead of SuperOneClick)
Really, all SuperOneClick is doing are the following commands, assuming you've got a proper su binary and Superuser.apk:
Code:
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk

I have downloaded CWM Manager and I have tried to install it but it has failed. Is there a different type of process to doing this other than opening it through root explorer?
what are you trying to do? just use the 3 button combo or extended power option to boot into recovery and flash away?
Ok, I am having a huge issue with trying to flash a custom rom. I will try to explain this the best way I can. I have had the same problem as above when trying to use CWM in recovery. Here is what I did:
- I unrooted my phone
- flash CWM with "SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar"
- then it boots into CMW recovery and I can't do jack. When I try to select anything I just get a blank screen with the clock workz logo. If I hit the volume up and down buttons again the list of options comes back, but I will be stuck with the same situation if I try to select any options.
I was able to successfully root my phone in another instance using galaxys2root.com's method, however when I tried to use cwm I also ran into the same problem. I have yet to be able to use anything in cwm recovery. Please help me. I have flashed my phone multiple times and probably bricked it also. Luckily i haven't done any damage yet, but i would like to be able to flash roms. I am still kinda new to flashing roms, but i was able to flash my old infuse like a champ without any of these problems.

Use the home soft key to select stuff in CWR, not the power button.

i didnt read all of the posts until after i posted. thanks for not slashing me. so it looks like i use the home button to select then the back button still goes back. got it.
On a side not, I do not remember reading about that within the posts for rooting and flashing clockworkz. I tend to skip over things when reading, but I think someone should put that in big fat red letters "USE HOME BUTTON TO SELECT".

I would like to flash the new Rom that is rooted and teamed in the development section. My question is how? Im a noob and have no clue. I used odin to root, but had to do a system restore because my phone was acting very slow. (laggy and only 1800 on benchmarks. Now its at 2700.) it also says i need to use a new kernel. I would like to use the overclocked one but don't know how to do anything. Please give me detailed step by steps. Think you

There is step by step directions in each one of the posts. But the simple version is download Odin 1.85 and put your phone into download mode then connect odin and the phone should show up as a COM port. After that put the kernel in the pda section and hit start. That flashes the kernel and you are done.

not to sound like a jerk or rude , my best advice to you is instead of asking for someone to tell you step by step, is to read the threads for the modifications you want to do in your phone, and re read the steps, when I first started in the flashing game back in the winmo days I would print out pages from here with the guides and steps the devs would post so I could sit in front of the pc and have the info right in
front of me without having the need to open and close the browser while trying to use the pc for flashing. I also made friends so I could just pm someone if I had any issues/questions, keeping me from having the need for posting and making too many questions on the threads , thus helping me avoid the famous "use the search button" comment.
Good luck and have fun!!

if you're going all the way I would suggest flashing clockworkmod recovery thru odin, doing a nandroid backup, then flash the rom, then flash the kernel, most roms already have a kernel included, but not in the case of twopumpchump's rom, as he states his don't have the kernel, so you flash the kernel afterwards, I'm sure in the future when they start to have more roms and kernel choices the devs will probably add their kernel of choice for their rom/build, therefore if you decide to use a different kernel in that situation you flash the desired kernel after the rom so if the rom has one it won't replace the one you want, you understand? meaning you always flash the kernel after the rom.

Ok thanks.
I'm trying to do a clockworkMod recovery, but the galaxy note isn't listed.... What do i do?
Now im not sure if you can answer this, but what do i do with this? Its from Da_G's kernel guide
"You will need modified libraries to take full advantage of this kernel as they override speeds at times, you can find these here.
You'll have to push them over adb for now after flashing the kernel, when CWM is up I will make a CWM zip for it.
From the directory with adb and the three .so files:
Code:
adb remount
adb push libhardware_legacy.so /system/lib/
adb push librpc.so /system/lib/
adb push libandroid_runtime.so /system/lib/
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/lib/libhardware_legacy.so
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/lib/librpc.so
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so
adb reboot

this is for the use of adb(android debug bridge) and you need android sdk/jdk installed on pc to have commands for android thru command prompt.
if you want to install cwm from androiduser00110001 all you need is odin in your pc and the rest is this.
Follow these instructions:
You will need Odin to flash recovery. Check the threads on how to use and where to download it from.
Download recovery HERE
Start Odin
Click on PDA
Browse to file odin_n1717_cwm_recovery_a1.tar
Make sure your phone is in download mode so Odin can flash
Flash file
Let phone reboot
Boot into recovery - Either use adb reboot recovery or power down phone, press volume up, volume down and power at same time to boot into recovery
Once in recovery, select power down phone
Let phone power down and then power it back up
Phone should reboot into OS fine, if not go into recovery and try again.
That is one bug so far. Mostly everything else works. If you get stuck in a CWR boot loop than just flash stock recovery that can be found HERE.

There appear to be two main options for rooting Samsung devices on linux and mac.
Option 1: (un-tested) root.zip (recovery)
This method roots your stock 2.3 rom from in recovery (stock or CWM)
1. Copy Root.zip to your sdcard.
2. Turn your phone off
3. Boot your phone into recovery mode. (Hold HOME+POWER buttons. When the screen turns on let go of POWER but keep holding HOME. After you enter recovery mode, let go of HOME.)
4. Select “apply update from sdcard”
5. Find and select Root.zip
6. When it’s done installing, select “reboot system now”
7. Go to apps and look for 'superuser'. If you see it, your phone is rooted.
Option 2: (un-tested) flash CWM from stock recovery:
This gives you the freedom of a custom recovery, flashed on the device from stock recovery
1. Download recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip
2. Put recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip on your sdcard
3. Boot into current stock (default) recovery (zip also compatible with CWM recovery)(Hold HOME+POWER buttons. When the screen turns on let go of POWER but keep holding HOME. After you enter recovery mode, let go of HOME.)
4. Go to "apply update from sdcard"
5. Select "recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip"
6. When it finishes, power off and boot back into recovery mode to check it has installed (it should say "ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.6" somewhere)
Option 3 (un-confirmed): use Heimdall.
An open source, cross-platform, alternative to Odin.
Heimdall is officially supported on the Galaxy S (and S variants including Galaxy Tab)
It allows you to do pretty much anything Odin can do (interact with download mode), and so you can flash a root kernel to gain root and CWM recovery.
Although supposedly untested on the Galaxy Ace, heimdall should be able to flash the usual root precedure (rooting kernel with CWM).
It would be great if someone could verify heimdall works for the Galaxy Ace
Option 4: (un-tested) root your ROM using the zergRush exploit (from the Revolutionary team).
zergRush rooting scripts: Linux, Mac, Windows
For the zergRush exploit scripts, you only root your firmware, so CWM will need to be installed manually afterwards if you want it.
Now that you have root, you should be able to (optionally) flash CWM from an app or over adb using flash_image) (DO YOU NEED ROOT IF THIS IS DONE IN RECOVERY(STOCK)?)
Apps that can flash CWM include:
* CWM Manager
* Flash image GUI
_DO NOT USE_ ROM Manager (reported unstable)
To flash using ADB and flash_image, download flash_image and an CWM recovery img then run:
Code:
cd directory-containing-files/
adb remount
adb push flash_image /system/bin/flash_image
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/Recovery.img
rm /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery
Or from the phone's terminal (if BusyBox is installed):
first put recovery.img & flash_image onto /sdcard/
Code:
cd directory-containing-files/
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
mv /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
flash_image recovery /sdcard/Recovery.img
rm /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery
DISCLAIMER: I do not personally own a Samsung phone, and have not yet tested these methods (although I am interested to hear how well they work,and will do my best to update the post). I am however planning to root a friends Galaxy Ace and possibly also an Galaxy S2, so will be testing some of these soon (I'm not sure I should try the untested heimdall on a friends Ace though)
This seems almost utterly pointless, prove me wrong?

Sorry, which way is this shorter more trustworthy way?
The point of this is listing the methods I believe to be compatible with linux (and by extension mac)
I am new to Samsung phones and do not possess one myself, but understand that using Odin is restricted to Windows.
I will be flashing CWM Recovery to a Galxacy Ace soon and will try methods that have been tested (friend's phone)
If you know of other methods or if one of the listed methods does not work, I will update the post
Also if anyone can confirm heimdall to work with the Ace this would be the first time on xda (searching I've found only people saying it may work) the Ace is not on its supported list, however as it uses the same protocol (right?) it should work?
If however the mods believe this post to be useless or irrelevant, they are welcome to move it to the appropriate location
Point 1- Hopefully useful for Linux and Mac users.
Point 2- If on Windows its much easier and takes very less time..
Also u told about ROM Manager (reported unstable),... Dude leave unstable it bricks our phone... mAking it unusable...
Best way to root is to put the upd.zip in rooting section and flashing in recovery... Can thr be any other way better than that?
Bofu said:

I use OS X exclusively and this was a very useful post, and at least well written and clear. Most guides blindly assume we all use Windows, not everyone does!!!
For context, owning OS X I originally used the upd1.zip method, flashed via original recovery and it worked, which I suppose is the fastest method you don't cover.
I certainly didn't know about heimdall, great to see an open-source cross platform alternative to odin! Don't need to use it just yet, though testing will be invaluable for future use...
So thanks to the OP for writing clearly about alternative options.
But instaling CWM isn't rooting, you can have CWM without root.
Wysłane z mojego GT-S5830 za pomocą Tapatalk
actually speaking in case of SGA you don't need a PC to root or to anything except heavy logcat
What restrictions using odin on windows are you referring to?
Restriction: it doesn't work if you're not using Windows is the restriction... ;-)

Thanks, I wasn't sure of this as on my Desire I had to unlock the bootloader (s-off it) due to security features (and this was closely related to the rooting process). I use the term rooting as it seems the most generic, if anyone suggests a better word I will gladly consider changing the title

Warning:
I will not be responsible for damage to your device(s) by using this exploit. Antivirus software and Play services will likely detect this as potentially malicious. It is an exploit, deal with it or don't use it. Do not mirror these applications without my permission!
PwnMyMoto is a replacement for my previously released MotoRoot. PwnMyMoto exploits three vulnerabilities, to gain root access, then to gain write to system. This is a traditional root, and doesn't use any 'hackery' to maintain su access unlike MotoRoot.
First we use bug 9695860 (aka second masterkey) to gain system user, then it uses a symlink attack to gain root access. After gaining root we exploit a flaw in the bootloader, allowing us to bypass the write protection applied to system. In the process we remove stock recovery, so OTAs will not be a worry.
Install PwnMyMoto by running:
adb install -r PwnMyMoto-<version and model go here>.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then run PwnMyMoto, depending on the current root status of your phone it will reboot 2 or 3 times, after the last reboot it will uninstall it self and su will be installed on the actual system partition. Please install SuperSu from the market after this step is done.
We have two (ok more but were not going into that) boot modes. First is normal, which boots regular Android, and in this case boots with system write protected. Second is recovery mode, normally it boots recovery without write protection. Our exploit will hijack recovery bootmode and boot Android without write protection.
After running this exploit, if you boot normally /system will be write protected. If you boot to "recovery", Android will boot without write protection. If you wish to edit system, you must boot into "recovery" to do so, any changes made will stick and will work in either bootmode. My suggestion is to make your changes in "recovery" and run the device day to day in normal mode, until we are certain "recovery" mode will be 100% stable for day to day use.
The exploit will uninstall itself after successful exploitation.
To see if write protection is applied, you can run:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.write_protect
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If it returns '1' then write protection is applied to /system, if it returns '0' then no write protection has been applied.
In the future we will have a replacement recovery, but at this time it is still in development. Enjoy.

1.4.3 allows detection of failed su installation (0 size su) and reinstallation)
1.4.1 adds reliability, and fixes issues for users when improper permissions are applied to su (Preventing updates).
1.2 - Bug fix for devices which had recieved OTAs.
If you used 1.1 and have a problem with recovery coming back, run the following command:
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery"

1.1 - initial release
Thanks!
Figure I should add that this does not allow usage of custom kernels at this time because everything is still signature checked.
Is there an unroot process?

I'd assume you could boot into the recovery mode and just delete superuser, su, and busybox, but someone more knowledgeable should confirm.

It probably didn't work for you then. I was having the same problem earlier and again now.
I still have root. It did the same thing when booting to recovery. Guess I'll reinstall and give it another go.

It shouldn't boot to recovery since it is being replaced.
Sorry, meant when booting to "recovery". It went to the no command screen for a minute then rebooted to Android.

If you are running into an issue where it is booting into normal recovery, come find me on IRC. I think 1.1 fixed the bug but if it didn't i need to release 1.2/
OK, not sure what's going on now... The first time I ran it, the button said something like Click to root, now this time it said Boot into WP bypass. Hit it and same thing, back to the no command screen for a while and then a reboot. I was previously rooted, but based on the OP, that shouldn't make a difference. Back up now, and the app is still installed (it uninstalled the first time), still says the same thing.
Worked for me... Rooted w.o wp when booting to recovery

first of all, thanks so much, and i apologize for the noob questions below, but i'd like some clarification if possible (perhaps a video would be helpful like on your previous releases).
1) does it matter which version of your moto root app and SU we are currently using?
2) what do you mean in the OP by normal mode and recovery mode? I mean i've used custom recovery and normal (adb) mode, but when you say "recovery mode" will have write access, does that mean you will have write access only while you are in recovery? I think it means that you get into regular android operating system (that is adb), but through some extra boot/recovery step. This is confusing.
3) which custom recovery is the stock recovery being replaced with?
4) how do we tell it to boot in "recovery mode" or "normal mode"?
5) which version of supersu should we use? is the regular one OK?
6) which IRC are you referring to in the above quote?
Version 1.2 should work on devices that had taken the OTA, 1.1 didn't reflash the recovery partition with boot for them.
a manual fix for those that used 1.1 is a single command
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery"

So am I to understand that in order to install this apk you have to use adb. Because it doesn't install like a normal apk it says that a signed version is already installed. Which is the other apk 1.1 if so this sucks I nuked my computer last night no adb. Will the 1.2 version allow me to install the apk normally over the 1.1
Never mind I see that its 1.2 now and it did install no problem and deleted itself and I have root. However like mistermojo I am confused as to how to get r/w I know how to get into recovery but once there do you just reboot and then you have r/w a little clarification would be appreciated. Thank you for the exploit and especially it being an apk since my computer took a **** last night.

Ok I can't get into stock recovery when I get into fastboot and choose recovery it goes to a black screen and like it is off I can get back into fast boot or just boot the phone normal but no recovery.

recovery is over written with this method. simply use an app that reboots to recovery and the phone will boot normally only write protection will be disabled.
Bigv
power off your phone
Press vol - and power key at the same time for 3 secs and release
You should be in the fastboot. Press vol - until you highlight recovery.
Press vol + to select and boot to android with write protect turned off

Got it my dumbas was pushing power not + and I was just turning the screen off not rebooting into recovery or normal power up thanks for the help. It sucks not being to run adb to check for write permission. But I was able to modify the media file in the ui and change the effect tick so I know it works.

Basically what is going on is if you go to fastboot mode vol - and power at the same time you have the option to boot into recovery, however it isn't actually booting into a normal or custom recovery where you can flash it boots normally but has no write protection so that you can write to the system. Then once you write you can reboot normally. Is that correct jcase?
Long story short, I wanted to root my new galaxy victory 4G LTE from Sprint and put a custom rom on it. Followed rooting guides and that worked fine. Then I went to find a rom that would work and all I found was victorious, which I was so eager to try I didn't even think to read that part that said VM only. Got stuck in a boot loop. That's where I made the real mistake and decided to try a rom for another galaxy model, a custom s3 rom. Ever since that my touchscreen has been unresponsive, soft buttons and hard buttons work though. Using ODIN I've tried to restore to stock, I've used KIES to try to update, and everything has worked as far as I could want it to, but nothing restored touchscreen functionality. I am able to get into the hard button guided recovery menu and download mode, but have been unable to get anything touch based to work, and cannot find a CM non touch recovery that will work with this phone.
I've noticed that there have been threads created with this issue, however the solution, when there has been one, is device specific. So far that I have been able to tell no one has done this exact thing and solved it over the web with this phone.
If anyone can be of help, that would be great. I don't want to take it into a repair store or a sprint store and see what can be done to fix it if at all possible to do it myself.

Sph-l300 galaxy victory- touch screen unresponsive after cwm flash
As you very well know, there is not a whole lot of information on this problem. However I can suggest how to get CWM working on your STOCK or ROOT SPH-L300
Fix 1
oudhitsquad.com/android/Samsung/SPH-L300/Mod/recovery/CWMR-v6.0.2.8-Victory.zip(CWM zip file)
oudhitsquad.com/android/Samsung/SPH-L300/Mod/recovery/TWRP-2.4.3.0-Victory.zip
Put your phone into download mode by holding volume down+power then pressing volume up when prompted
Open Odin and click the PDA box and navigate to twrp.zip file and flash, reboot into recovery.
(I REALIZE THE SCREEN DOES NOT WORK, TWRP GIVES YOU ROOT BY DEFAULT SO JUST LEAVE IT PLUGGED IN AND....)
Extract the image from the CWM zip into c:\platform-tools
-Run a command prompt-
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
cd sdcard
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
After its finished writing hit ctrl-c to exit shell
adb reboot recovery
You now have the option to write any zip via CWM (Which uses buttons so no need for touch)
USEFUL LINKS -

Godspeed, let me know what happens.
I'm sorry if this isn't the right place.
I rooted my LG G2 D802 around 2 months ago, and completely forgot about it.
I got the Kitkat update about 5 hours ago, and stupidly downloaded it.
The phone got stuck in a team win bootloop and again, in a bit of a panic I wiped the phone (not thinking of just restoring my back up from when i rooted the device)
after that didn't solve anything, i reverted to google. I found a guide on here for my exact problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
I read it carefully and proceeded to follow this by the letter. I think I messed up though, with the 'ADB' thing, the last i remembered about it was using it to root the device, so I followed to guide but using the root folder i had used. now I'm no longer in a team win bootloop, I'm not in a LG splash screen boot loop, I can just about manage to get into recovery and get back to team win, but can't get into download mode.
I really wasn't looking to replace this device until the LG G3 got released, and don't really have the money to spare - so i'm really hoping this is fixable.
a note is, to root the device i followed a guide, and the TWRP (I'm not actually sure) I think i just went with it and managed it so i'm not very good when it comes to the terms, and stuff like that, any help would be greatly appreciated!
I can use a Win7 laptop to do whatever is needed, it is an EE LG G2 D802, UK, 16GB black.
I don't have insurance, I kept pushing myself to wait to do anything like this until I had insurance, but at 2 in the morning, nothing to do, ready to root - It's hard to resist.
(I do have the USB drivers on my laptop)
Sounds like you are in this boat now:

That should do the trick since it's exactly what's happened to you and the same phone. The update might be different though as that is important to know. Just use the files from whichever the last official update you had was from.

I dont think thats the same problem as mine, i have no error, my screen doesnt go off, it just stays on lg splash screen with multicoloured led flashing, cant turn it off only restart it, i dont have linux & i can get into recovery with a few attempts. Is there anythjng that can be done or is my phone ****ed? Thanks
I have just had another read through, mainly the comments and that guide seems to get you to the point where you can get into recovery and enter those commands in the guide on my opening post - i can get into recovery and i did both fixes, the one using adb if using the adb in the root folder on my laptop i used to root the device is okay, and then again using the terminal emulator in recovery, after neither worked (actually, the terminal emulator one got me from a TWRP bootloop into an lg splash screen bootloop, after reading into thr comment to about page 7 there was an additional line to the terminal emulator method changing only the /fota to /misc which did nothing for my device. The fix there simply changed the type of bootloop i am in

Oh ok. Well, if you can still get into recovery, then you should be able to push another rom to the phone's storage via adb. But your phone definitely isn't screwed. It's pretty hard to totally mess these things up to the point of no return.

Im glad to hear it, got to the point of looking at a new ouone even though i wanted to keep this one until the g3 was on the shelves.
I hate to say, but how would i do this? I only know the very basics, and is the adb used to root fine to do it with? I didnt even know i had flashed TWRP correctly, think i used an app, flashify or something? Any help would be massively appreciated

So, boot to recovery and plug it in. Your PC SHOULD load the right drivers if you have already installed them. You can verify by going to your Device Mananger and making sure there are no warning signs next to your phone in the list.
If you need the drivers: https://mega.co.nz/#!rU0RkSaK!JzUCoZ5emWOsc_Tw6h8a3JZtRNT1-JvGvc8EC_u9rnI
adb and fastboot files: https://mega.co.nz/#!SJ8ijCKY!UKpr4ufVyPq4DVL2i90RI9CD7TX5AETPHrcqMQdpG5w
Download the rom you need and move it to the folder where the adb and fastboot stuff installs to. Should be C / Program Files (86) / adb
Once there and the drivers are loaded correctly, use the CMD shortcut from the adb set up and do this:
adb devices
If you get are response of some random string of letters + numbers, it's all good.
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/
and then wait. It will take some time as these are large files. Not uncommon for it to take many minutes to 10 or more.

Just making sure I understand correctly, the 'rom' i need ks the stock rom, right? Im not looking to root again as the whole reason i rooted was because it was everywhere that ee werent releasing the kitkat update for the g2, since they have now i dont need root anymore.
Ill try this fix later on and tell you if it worked! Thanks

Okay, I can't seem to find the LG G2's stock rom anywhere, also the adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/ is that the exact command?
I found the stock firmware, but nothing for EE, just o2 and so on.
I also can't seem to get the drivers to work, I have an 'unidentified device' connected to the computer, I have tried to download from the link you gave me, and another place but neither work, once it searches for drivers again after download it just says drivers not found
saying that after trying 'adb devices' i got a random string of letters and numbers, roughly 21 characters long followed by recovery on the same line

Hmm if adb devices returned that, that means adb is working which means at least part of the drivers loaded correctly. I would grab the files from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2736854
And then adb push the files to the /sdcard/. You want the Philz recovery, and the rom. You can grab the root and the kernel if you want to be rooted and the kernel might make a difference in battery life and performance. Whether that is a positive or negative influence, I've no clue. The poster seemed to like it, and he would know better than I. So you just want to download the files needed and put them in the same folder where you have your adb files. Then for each one you want to use:
adb push
then
nameoffile.zip - where you fill in the name of file with whatever (you can rename the files - but not extensions - to be easier, ie recovery.zip, rom.zip)
then /sdcard/
Full command of pushing the rom to the internal storage, assuming you renamed it to rom.zip would be:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
This will take awhile. Probably a good 10 minutes.
After you get it transferred over, then install the recovery zip in your current recovery and then reboot to recovery again so you will be in the new Philz. Then do a factory reset and install the rom zip.

Which of those files should I download.
as I understand it, once downloaded and in the file with the ADB.
adb devices (to make sure it is connected)
then
adb push recovery.zip /sdcard/ (saying recovery if I rename the file, and pushing the recovery is first?)
then straight after do I push the rom, after rebooting the device, or push them both - reboot the device then install the rom from the recovery?
the first file is Open Euro D80220D.zip - this is the rom, right? and since it is .ZIP do I extract it to the folder where the ADB is or keep it as .zip to push it?
sorry, I'm really new to all this stuff and starting to regret rooting in the first place.

Factory reset then install rom (yes, Open Euro.zip is the rom)
Install kernel and SU now if you want - wipe caches if you do then reboot

Are you trying to sideload it? This is different than pushing the file. You don't need to sideload it. Just plug it in and adb push the files you need to the /sdcard/. And are you trying to install it with Philz?

After realising that the push hadnt completed properly, I redownloaded the file, and then pushed it - now it has got past where it had the error and is at 'installing KitKat 4.4.2 ROM
Thanks for your help, greatly appreciated.
What are the benefits of using the Kernal you mentioned earlier?
maybe everything isn't as clear cut as it seemed, after the ROM installed correctly it asked me to reboot now, so I did and now I'm back stuck on the LG splash screen.
Maybe the rom is the wrong one for my phone? It's an LG G2 16gb D802 UK on EE.

Okay, I came across another problem.
with the several versions of the same ROM at /sdcard/ my memory was running low, so i formatted it - then it wouldn't let me push anything to it, anyway i sorted that (can't remember how) and then installed the Kernal and superuser, which didn't seem to sort anything, but I did a little digging and mounted all the directories on Philz.
Then after I restarted the phone, whilst trying to get into recovery I heard the 'LG' splash screen animation noise. and then the phone loaded up the country setting - and then I got an error which made the screen unresponsive, I tried reloading to get yet another error, similar but not the same.
I booted into recovery, did a factory reset and again rebooted the phone and now it works, with the Knock Code! thank you so much you have saved my phone..
Is there anything I can do to say thank you properly, you've just saved me over £250
