Stuck with custom recovery - AT&T LG Optimus G

Hey there!
Just recently rooted my LG E970 (AT&T) so I'm fairly new to this.
I had been running CM11 for about a week and a decided to update to the newest nightly version earlier (cm-11-20131228-NIGHTLY-e970.zip). Well, the installation of the ZIP file failed (Error executing updater binary in zip). I'm using TWRP 2.6.3.0 recovery. Now my Optimus G only boots to TWRP recovery.
I've read that TWRP are having some issues installing 4.4 custom ROMS so it's recommended to use ClockworkMod. The problem is I don't know how to install ClockworkMod manually or using a PC.
So, how do I install CWM and override TWRP without an actual OS on my phone running?
I'm fairly new to rooting and installing custom roms .
Thanks!

That's an old version of twrp, there's a newer one for kk builds floating around here.

Thanks for the reply!
How do I exactly install another version of custom recovery on top of my current one without an OS running on my phone?
I have tried adb and fastboot with no luck.
If you can send me to a site with instructions, that would be fantastic.
Thank you!

Only for att version.

clear tutorial for installing Cyanogen mod onto Optimus T anybody

Hi there
sorry for being a noob but what I read online and was following does not seem to work. I rooted my Froyo 2.2.2 bought Rom Manager downloaded Cyanogen used the flash recovery rom and hit install custom rom but all that happens is the phone doing a factory reset and thats it.
I would love in case somebody could tell me what I might be doing wrong and what all steps (noob level) I need to take to get Android 2.3 onto my LG Optimus T.
Thanks
Claas
Cyanongenmod is unofficial gingerbread on our phones..its a port of unofficial gingerbreakld with the latest being 7.2 A6...if you have root, than download either amonra 3.06 or clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.1 or something like that....once you have root and you have recovery flashed.flashing roms is easy...full wipe,dalvik cache wipe, wipe data...
If you want official gingerbread 2.3,you will have to flash new baseband...I've always stuck with unofficial cyanongenmod or old baseband roms

I'vs used this, works like a charm
Pay attention to special instructions when flashing a custom rom! Sometimes it works only with a specific recovery!

Hi, I have the same problem with kitkat so I found this View attachment UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip
flash it with cwm and then turn on and you have root jejeejjejeje
when you flashed JB4.1 KDZ file did you wipe data, partition sd card and dalvik cache??? 'cause you have to wipe everything before boot
do it then tell us if it works
good look :good:

There's currently no way to root KK on this device without CWM. If you don't have it, only way is to revert to JB, root your device and install CWM. Then flash KK via CWM.
And you really shouldn't post your question in 3 different threads. No need to swamp this forum.

If we, the P715 users, flash KK via CWM, are we going to lose root permissions and the access to CWM recovery? Do you have any links for a rom.zip file where in we can flash it via CWM? if you dont know any, well thankyou at least.

The procedure should be the following:
- Install CWM
- Flash the ROM zip via CWM
- Flash SuperSu zip via CWM
- Reboot
Then you'll get the rooted ROM. No harm to CWM this way.
Regarding ROM for your device + SuperSu zip, you can find both in this post.
Thanks!

Well then, thanks! I'll follow the steps with caution and I'll report back after Just 1 last question (hoping to be the last one hahaha), you've been there at that thread so can I ask you if there were some bad reports about this zip file? I just dont want anything to fail and put this phone in a bad state.

Well, I can say that the KK ROM is a bit less stable comparing to the JB one and a little more buggy (led not working is really annoying). If you don't want any specific KK feature, I'd suggest you wait for a more stable ROM.

Don't see a reason why not. However, once you have CWM installed, before upgrading to KK, make a nandroid backup from CWM, so you'll be able to revert if you encounter any issues with KK.

[Q] Help TWRP install Lg G3 vs985

I keep getting this error which says, "boot certification vertify". when I try to go into recovery mode. To begin with, I have updated my vs985 to 5.01 lollipop and then I had my device rooted. From this I have tried using apps like Flashify or using adb to flash TWRP 2.8.6.1 touch recovery for vs985. When I flash it I then boot into recovery to see that boot certification error. Can someone please help me fix this? If you need any more info just ask.

You need to upgrade with jasmine or skydragon stock roms from a kk build, if you want to keep twrp and root. You have some partitions that need to be replaced, that's why you get the error.

So I would just flash the Jasmine rom then I could reroot my device and flash twrp or do I have to root and flash twrp, install partitions and then upgrade with Jasmine rom?

Did you flash to a KK 12b version method?
Using the image that Sublime posted resulted in the same issue.
I upgrade my phone to 12B then I rooted and flashed the newest version of twrp which happens to be then 2.6.8.1 version I think. Then I flashed the Jasmine rom....

Use the latest version that TWRP Manager offers, then use TWRP to flash the latest one on XDA made for the G3.

Hi guys,
I´ve rooted my LG G5 and I am now in the TWRP Recovery. Now I´ve tried to install the Genisys Custom rom. The installation works perfectly, but after I reboot the system I always get back to the recovery mode.
My question is how to fix this.

im also having the exact same problem after installing fulmics rom 1.5 -- it keeps on sending me back to recovery mode after installations .
Post this question in that roms thread? Reflash? Maybe you guys did something wrong. I am on 830 and not having that issue with that rom.
