I don't understand: "b" or "d"?
it's important

Actually cloudy said that b==d, they didn't change anything

The one with working knock code and the other kernels, dorimanx, are they based on 20b/d?

I don't know for Dorimanx.
For the patch of kernel stock, this is the thread of @garyd9, who has participated in the development of the method for a custom recovery on KK:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2672931, it says in the source and credit part:
Credits:
Several people spent countless hours working on finding a way to get recovery working with LG's kitkat. The kernel used in this package was made by @savoca - who used the solution found by @JackpotClavin. Others involved are (as far as I'm aware) @AndroidUser00110001 and @jakew02. Of course, @Chainfire for the 'su' package.

Source:
All the images in the recovery package are completely stock with the exception of the kernel and kernel modules. The kernel is modified and recompiled with only the following patch: https://github.com/JackpotClavin/an...mmit/7b6187a0e5fb8ca59888cacf5f5b863baa8d1064. (The installer overwrites the kernel images in /system with those from the kernel compile.) The base kernel source is found on LG's opensource website under the D800 heading.

so my issue with backups failing (unable to create backup folder) turns out that the entire /data directory was remounted as read-only. No clue how that happened. I backed up all the important stuff on my phone and formatted /data (at the advice of the TWRP guys), and now everything shows correctly as rw, not ro. just doing a remount did not work.

So now my backup has run successfully. The TWRP guys think it may be indicative of a possible hardware failure, so it could happen again. I'm keeping my eye open for it happening again.

I'm coming back to rooting after a few year break... there's 141 pages here and I've been reading and I'm not getting any where confidently. I have a Verizon LG G2, I rooted with stump root and now I want to install twrp and obviously this isn't as straight forward as it used to be. Im on 4.4.2 and took the OTA 26A a few weeks ago. Can I run Autorec now and be good to go flashing roms or no? I see loki being used here and there... What up.

Thanks for this wonderful app. I was able to install TWRP and flash ROM.

Download autorec for your phone model. Don't use a different model one.

Install twrp in it. Then you can download the thermal control twrp. Don't restart into twrp yet.

I didn't need this. I just flashed the Dorimanx kernel. If you had white lines.
For those having white lines issue when using patched kernel, download your kernel here and flash it via recovery:

This autorec doesn't have a thermal temperature control. Download the zip for your lg g2 model.

The thread for it is here

Flash it using Flashify for root app from app store. There's an option in it to backup your stock recovery and stock kernel I think it's called. When it's done you can boot to recovery using hardware buttons or if you had the power menu changed, go to recovery from recovery in it. I flashed Dorimanx kernel in twrp before I flashed custom roms. Make a full nandroid backup of everything first. To flash kernels wipe dalvik cache and cache first, then flash the kernel using the install. If you have a custom rom download ready, wipe everything except internal storage. Then go to twrp home screen and click wipe then swipe for factory reset. Then you install, flash your rom or any backup you had made. I just backup everything and restore all of it if I switch between roms. After flashing a custom rom I boot to system, restart, I flashed the Dorimanx kernel again in twrp then restart back to system.

Why not restart into twrp after autorec has just installed twrp?
What's the benefit of the thermal control custom twrp? Couldn't that be installed at any later date?
Thanks

Hello. I'm new on G2 thread, so I apologize if I will ask one or two silly questions.
I just bought a LG G2 - D802 second hand (LGD panel)
The phone came with root and installed recovery TWRP 2.7.0.0. Being familiar with TWRP (coming from Galaxy Nexus), i updated to 2.8.0.1, from official site: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/g2d802 .
All working fine! For now, i tryed CloudyG3 2.0 ROM and LiquidSmooth ROM for 2 days without any problem.

Now i found that there is a custom TWRP... thermal temperature control (?!)
Which is the risk of using the official TWRP version vs this custom one?

Thanks a lot!

ryan012 · Oct 19, 2014

Thermal control one to keep device from overheating in twrp. You could flash it in twrp or use flashify so you don't need to start twrp that don't have it. Extract the zip and after you used autorec you only need to flash the img file extracted from zip of the thermal control twrp. after getting twrp with autorec or how you choose to.

after trying some way of installing custom recovery that led to failure, this method works perfectly fine on my G2 VS980.

mistermidas · Oct 21, 2014

Has anyone tried this method to add custom recovery after rooting ZVE yet?

gocegi · Oct 21, 2014

@Cloudyfa
Cloudy, can you update the recovery in Autorec to 2.8.0.1 or 2.8.0.2, with thermal control, because we have a confusion among users, that don't know what to do after they flash this, and we would prevent that plus screen damage for the newbies.

Thx

bender_007 · Oct 21, 2014

They just flash 2.8.0.1 or 2.8.0.2 over the current one.

Big Boy Laroux · Oct 21, 2014

Anyone know if there is a way to tell if you are running the TWRP with thermal control? I flashed it with no errors, so I assume I'm running it, but haven't spent a lot of time in recovery to see if it is getting hot. The version # just shows 2.8.0.1. I don't think there's a way to see within TWRP, but thought there might be some identifying file or something. Yoinx gave me some good direction via PM on checking CPU utilization, but I'm talking about just some flag or identifier on the modified TWRP with thermal control.

Disregard - I'll ask this in the TWRP thread. I must have glanced right over it while searching this morning.

bender_007 · Oct 21, 2014

Visit 2.8.0.2 thread and flash using twrp oe flashify. I flashed it using flashify

Stuck in Fastboot mode

Hi. I'm stuck in Fastboot mode after running D802_AutoRec.apk

I've opened a new thread at http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/help/autorec-fastboot-mode-started-flashing-t2913611 so that this thread remains clean.

Any help would be much appreciated

Edit: Getting a bit worried now :eeek:

hrockh · Oct 22, 2014

excellent and useful app.
thank you

faheyd · Oct 22, 2014

I had a LG G2 D800 with d80020u firmware. Using post #1, it bricked my phone. I had to use LG Flashtool to reinstall/downgrade to 10D. What a PITA that was. From there, I was able to root/twrp/CM install.
Beware if you have 20u firmware.

Hi,
I have problems with the Knock code after using AutoRec. I tried to "update touch firmware", but I didn't solved the problem. How can I do to make Knock code work well again?
