You really should give more information. The main being what version of twrp you tried to use.

I'm going to assume you tried 2.6.3.2 which will not flash 4.4 Roms. You need to download the 2.6.3.3 or latter tarp zip and flash it in recovery.

If my assumption is wrong then my apologies and I have no idea what the issue may be aside from maybe a bad IMG was pushed.

2.6.3.4 flashes 4.4 Roms but has issues with 4.3

2.6.3.3 flashes both fine.

If you can't find a working 2.6.3.3 zip and want it then let me know. If I dig around I can find it. I've been hearing the 2.6.3.3 zip on the official site is nonworkinf

So all you need to do then is update it by flashing the appropriate zip you want to use.

In Verizon development the thread should still be there for 2.6.3.4 even though it says it is discontinued it works. Just know that there are issues with using it with 4.3 Roms

Also, 2.6.3.3 fixed the issue 2.6.3.2 had that made it take like five minutes to wipe cache

You need to find the TWRP 2.6.3.3 for your model then you should be able to flash android 4.4 ROMs

That's what I thought but I can't find a flashable zip. Only an .img file. Twrp doesn't even see it. Flashify doesn't either. So I was going to try and push it. But that draws concerns about loki. This locked bootloader stuff is new to me and I can't find information about it so I can make informed decisions. I don't like asking these questions on here because I'm sure they've been asked before. So I've been for going over threads for days now with minimal progress

Well I found ClockWorkMod for the D801 witch will flash 4.4.2 ROMs but has a bug when you wipe the cache and it take like 5 mins bit it works.

Yeah nothing, even on twrp website the latest that's hosted is the one I have. What is confusing me is a lot of tmo owners are saying they've got Cm11 up and running. But it seems I missed out on the recovery train. All threads point to the d800 and your vs980. But I'll keep fighting the good fight. Thanks though

Yeah Cwm is awesome, it just didn't work on my nexus 4 but I don't know how to switch from twrp to cwm. I can look into that more. That's prolly what I'll do tomorrow.
I'm out of time tonight

To flash from twrp to cwm just use flashify to flash the cwm image easy take no time at all to do and then you can 4.4.2 ROMs :p
