I'm sorry in advance if this is a noob question.
Hello all, I just got my LG G3 yesterday. I used the downgrade method with the tot file and the special DLL to get to 10b (from 47a), then I OTA'd all the way to 23c. Then, I rooted it and installed TWRP from the auto rec app. After all of this, I wanted to install Cyanogenmod 12.1 (the latest release on their website). The problem is that I don't know how to do this. I've been trying to search the internet on how to do this, but I've gotten mixed results on what to do. Do I just go to TWRP, install CM, install gapps, and be done with it? Or am I missing steps/doing it wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Never mind, I got it to install

How did you install it? Did you just download the zip file to your sdcard from your browser then backup, wipe, and install in TWRP? I'm getting an error and missing something.

Hello Xda forums,
i have been using my device rooted for months succesfully. Now I needed to use Titanium Backup, which did not see my root. So I tried updating my binaries where everything got screwed up. It started not to work and stuff. So I re-rooted my device through Odin again. Now my device is rooted but it does not have SuperSU. When I install SuperSU through Google Play, I get "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. There is a problem!"
So, I need to remove all current files relating to SU and re-root device through odin again. Or at least i think this would work. Anyways since my roots not working, i can't remove the files, or let any app remove them.
Any help, please?
-Also no personal files or apps should be gone. A way without losing would be grand!
please guys, help me. I need to solve this as soon as possible..

Do you have a custom recovery like CWM, TWRP or 4ext
If yes : Put it on your SD card and reboot into recovery then install from zip, reboot and your done..
If no : Download MobileODIN off play store and follow the instrucion from there..
BTW : Look at the discription on play store your device may not be supported.

Well that didn't really helped. Done it as you said and SuperSU still says "there is no SU binary installed.."
I tried installing the latest 1.65, should i have tried an older one?

No, you don't need a older version.
When reading your first post again, i got a few questions
1. What happened after you tried updating your Binaries?
2. Did you had SU before?
3. Did you fully remove your root or did you just re-root a rooted device?
4. Are you 100% sure you had root before?

1. I tried to update SuperSU through Google Play, and it didn't run succesfully again. (Worst thing i've ever done.)
2. Yep, my device was rooted via CF Auto Root w/ Odin
3. I couldn't really remove my root, since all the ways require to have root before -.-
4. Yep, I was using many apps requiring root without any problem before all this took place..
I think what I need to do is to remove root completely and do it all over again. I can't just factory reset my device, I have lots of files, documents, apps, it would be a pain in the ass

Well there is no other way, Just backup all your files,documents and apps with Carbon,Super backup etc.. And then re-root it.
I'm in the process of flashing CM11 from JellyBeans, and am stuck booting into recovery mode. I attempted to flash the latest CM11 nightly release using TWRP recovery 2.5.0, which failed. I then tried to reboot and it said that I had "lost root permissions" and asked if I wanted to fix them, which I agreed to. Now it will only boot into the TWRP recovery mode.
Here is the text from when I try to flash the file.
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.

Any ideas on why it won't flash, and what it will take to fix it in this state?

Update your recovery
Whats the best way to update to CWM recovery? I'm still a bit inexperienced with all this, since this is my first android.
Flash latest CWM

The easiest way is to install ROM Manager from the play store and run it.

You can download the latest zip (6.0.4.3) and flash in your current recovery, or use a tool from the market place. Something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools&hl=en

I am only able to access recovery mode, so (unless I'm missing something) the Play store options are out.

So I can just flash the 6.0.4.3 zip just as I would a ROM? Also, this link only supplies a .img file. Where can I find the .zip?

Live and learn! :good:
We have all been there. Always make a backup before flashing anything.
I also was not able to flash CM11 using TWRP... Assuming you can transfer files to your SD Card (microsd adapter maybe?) try flashing a 4.2 touchwiz based rom and see if that gets your phone to boot. Once you are back on, download the ROM Manager app and use it to install CWM. Then reboot into recovery (it will now be CWM) and flash CM11. Make sure you have the correct google apps zip as well.
Question... did you wipe memory/cache?
Hi I am running CM10.2 but Titanium Backup (amongst other apps) tells me I do not have root, even though it is enabled in Developer Options. I have tried rooting again via Odin and that 'passes' ok but still I have no root.
I can boot into recovery but cannot install the latest version of CM11. All very curious!
I wonder if anyone out there could suggest any solutions please?
Thanks very much! Very strange...
Two suggestions: 1. Make sure you have the latest CWM or TWRP recovery (this is needed for 4.4.x
2. you go back to stock Samsung, then flash a recovery, then flash cm11 (root is included in the build if I'm right)
You don't need to root to flash another rom anyway.

Hey everyone,
I'm in a desperate hurry now, after hours of trying to get an operational phone again.
I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 that I was trying to put CM10.2 on using twrp, but I kept getting the error "Error executing updater binary in zip". HOWEVER, during the process of trying to get it to work, I accidentally did a wipe of my internal storage as well-- wiping my os. Now, all im trying to do is get a working rom so that I can start over, but every rom I try to install using twrp gives me the same error. Can anyone help me get a working OS again??? I can still boot to twrp, but it's not allowing any installation of any OS.
Thanks
What version of TWRP are you using? You might need to update to a newer version. If you are really stuck, then you can restock with Odin and redo the recovery/rom/etc.
Try to replace updater binary in zip with another version. Try to use stock rom binary

I'm using TWRP v2.7.1.0
I have no idea how to update a binary.
If you are wanting to stick with CM10.2 over CM11, then try one of the older TWRPs like 2.6.3.0. Or download the CM11 zip for your phone and use 7zip to open as archive and you can grab the binary in the folder META-INF > com > google > android > update-binary from it and move it to the other zip in the same spot. Make sure to open as archive because if you unzip, it will break the zip's signature and not flash correctly either.

Ok, so I've found the binary you were talking about. What do I change? The error that I currently get (like many other threads that address a similar issue, but not this particular one) is "Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3-d2spr.zip'"
At this point, can you tell me how to reset to factory? I think I could accomplish what I'm going for if i could get back to factory again.

there's no flashing option on stock recovery.
Only at TWRP (or other custom recovery) Flash directly from there.
Rooting has nothin to do with it.

Oh, that error means the ROM might be faulty or you're flashing the wrong one.
Be ensure of the ROM first.
Redownload and check.
