Hi,
I am new to this forum. I recently bought an E970, and rooted, unlocked it.
Then I tried to flash new 4.4 rom using recovery after wiping system, cache and data.
Unfortunately I get failed install. I then tried to restore my backup. Even that is failing. Please help.
I can still get into twrp recover 2.5..0.0
I tried: teenybin and LGNPST, still no change.
Any advise is welcome.

I think you'll need a more updated recovery to flash 4.4 ROMs. Try the one linked in post 360 of this thread:

Put it on your external SD, flash it in recovery, then reboot back to recovery. Then try flashing the new ROM.

HI
Thaks for the link to latest TWRP.
I flashed onto the latest TWRP, but still cannot get the recovery to install zip, or to restore my backup. Am trying again, and will let you know of the outcome soon.
Thanks once again.
Milind
thanks it worked, after I made a new back up and tried restoring. I gues the previous twrp backup may have been corrupt or something like that.

Hello! I'm new-ish here... As in I just opened an account to post after watching from the sidelines for a few months now.
Anyway,
I'm having problems with my phone. I was running ViperLTE 2.1.1 and recently switched to CyanogenMod. My sdcard wouldn't work correctly, so I tried to go back to stock, and my phone never made it past the "HTC" boot screen. I've tried reflashing and whatnot almost a dozen times, including restoring my nandroid backup, with no luck. Now I can't even access it via adb. What do I do?
Fastboot the stock boot image. The instructions are in the development section. Are you s off?

I'm not s-off, and I have tried that multiple times, and at this point I can't get to adb or fastboot. I'm having trouble even accessing the bootloader.
EDIT: I got to the bootloader and adb/fastboot, but still flashing any boot image does nothing to fix the problem, and I'm still stuck at the htc screen.

You are flashing the stock boot image right? From here for example.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Are you installing a stock(-based) ROM or restoring a nandroid?

Yeah. I'm repeatedly flashing the stock boot image and restarting, to no avail. According to the CyanogenMod forum, I need to install a stock-based ROM and then format my sdcard (to fix my initial problem)... and then restore my nandroid afterwards. At this point, it would be nice to just be able to restore the nandroid and have a phone that makes calls for a day-trip I'm going on tomorrow.

Just to check, after flashing the stock boot.img, you have installed a stock ROM or restored a stock-based ROM from a nandroid right (i.e. you're sure the backup is not from CyanogenMod)? The boot image alone isn't going to do anything. Also, depending on whether you were running Viper 1.x or 2.x, you need a different boot.img. The boot.img for Viper 1.x can be found here.
If restoring your nandroid backup doesn't work, freshly install Stock (or Viper).

I'll try that when I get to the computer, but do I need to use twrp or can I continue to use cwm? Also I can't access the sd card via my computer to put the rom onto it because it doesn't mount when I'm booted into recovery

Either TWRP or CWM will work. There is a test version of CWM that enables USB mass storage support... but I haven't yet tested the feature under Windows.
I got it to work, via side-loading the zip and then flashing the boot.img. I don't know why I was having so many problems before... But they're better now. Thanks for your help
Hi,
Im relatively new to the Z Ultra.
I have an unlocked bootloader, rooted phone.
Recently, I went from the stock ROM rooted to Paranoidandroid.
Now I have decided to go back to my stock Firmware. I have a Nandroid backup.
The issue is I am stuck inside a recovery from PA that does not want to restore my stock Sony ROM.
What is the best way for me to go from my AOSP ROM back to my Sony one via a restore in recovery?
Thanks.

Is it just not showing the backup or does it give an error when trying to restore?
Well the recovery that comes with PA custom ROM, CWM v6.0.5.0 will not allow me to browse to the TWRP recovery location that was used to backup the Sony stock ROM, so I copied the backup to the CMW folder.
When trying to restore it prompts about missing MD5 sums for all the backup partitions, but when I say proceed anyway it gives an MD5 error.
Actually, here is the full error:
Checking md5....
No MD5 verification performed...
Erasing boot before restore...
Restoring boot image...
Error while flashing boot image...
Before trying the restore this stock ROM, should I be flashing a boot.img for stock ROM?
Where is this?
Thanks.

Okay I would make sure you still have a copy in the twrp folder and use FlashTool to flash a boot img. that has twrp recovery. It doesn't need to be compatible with PA as you won't be booting into ROM but booting straight to recovery to restore backup.

Basically just need boot img. with twrp to restore with, it will be overwritten with whichever one you had when backup was made.
Got you!
Downloaded a kernel that had TWRP recovery, flashed the .img via Fastboot, then booted into TWRP, restored.
Thanks for the help, and sorry about the double post!

It's not normally needed here either, just on odd occasions like this, or when you first need recovery
Hello. So I was on AllianceROM build 25 on 4.3 until today. I decided to go try out the 4.4.4 LiquidSmooth ROM, so I flashed the ND7 modem and the rom. Things were alright, but after I installed GApps, I got force closes over and over to where it was unusable. So I booted back into recovery and now TWRP fails every time at "restoring system" from my backup .
I believe I backed up my working ROM with TWRP 2.5.0.1, I flashed LS ROM with CWM to see if it would help with force closing. It didn't so I reflashed TWRP 2.5.0.1 as recovery and tried restoring it from there, and haven't had any luck.
Anyone have any pointers? Suggestions? Have you had a similar situation?

Not sure if the recovery version has anything to do with it but twrp 2.5.0.1 is old. Current version is 2.7.2.1.

Only reason I'm on a deprecated version is because, in the past, I've made a backup and tried restoring it on a newer version of TWRP and it failed and failed for days, then I reverted to the version I did the backup on and it worked. The issue here could be that I don't know specifically that 2.5.0.1 was the TWRP i was using before... I could try an updated one though. Is it ok to just flash a newer version of TWRP through TWRP itself?

Yes, you can flash twrp with twrp. As about the rest, like I said I was just making a guess. It could just also be that the backup was bad. I have had that happen once or twice.

Hello guys so I accidentally and idiotically installed the verizon update. Meant to press later accidentally hit now not thinking, and all my phone does now is boot up to twrp. I have it rooted stock rom with G3 tweakbox and twrp recovery. I have tried to wipe, and restore with no luck. Also tried safemode no luck. Phone only boots into recovery and I'm hoping for a quick fix. Also cannot get it into download mode.
Anything help wise would be great kind of in a panic situation now!
Thanks!

did you try flashing a stock based rom?
not a restore.
Have you tried downloading a stock rom (bumped) and flashing that in TWRP?
If you can boot to TWRP you might not be able to resore but you might be able to install a stock rom, the restore apps from a nanadroid if you have it.
Don't worry. Same thing happened to me last week. There are instructions on here that show you how to type a few add line from TWRP and your phone will boot and you won't lose anything on your phone.
Just Google search LG g3 stuck TWRP.

Thanks for the replies. I found the fix thread and flashed the zip and it returned to normal.
Thanks for the help guys.
Hi, I am trying to install cynogenmod or mokee rom and the device always gets stuck at cyno/mokee logo. it never goes beyond that. tried to wait for half an hour(waited for one hour twice).
Here is what I am doing:
I used TWRP but it wasnt working so i installed CWM, in both the recoveries I was wiping everything except sd card storage as my zip files were in the card. after that i flashed zip files(ROM & GAPPS). after that i rebooted to system. Am I doing it wrong? I am currently on 4.4.4 stock rom. Need help.
Thank you.
No one to help?
How can TWRP not work on your device? Install again TWRP via adb.
Flash latest twrp 3.0.2 and try

The problem wasn't with the recovery and I wasn't doing anything wrong. It was really too bad to know that the rom version I was installing had a bootloop bug in it. So I had tried two previous versions but they too had the same bug. And unfortunately I tried CONTINUOUSLY for two long days to install those same bugged ROMS as if God has put me in frustration mode. Tech fooled me right, lol.
Grab the November 8 version of Cyanogemod. There are issues with the newer updates.
