You loose recovery because stock requires recovery as a binary in sbin for the ramdisk. LG made it even more complicated to get the recovery.

I'm having the same issue as D with both customs. So if LG made it more difficult than how do we get around it? Both the developers that have supposedly gotten around it won't reply to the PM that I have sent them and if they won't answer the questions that I have posed, and LG won't answer my request for bootloader unlock then we need to start working to resolve this issue. So where do we start?
Wondering if a f340k kdz could be flashed on u.s. version with lg restore tool. Then a custom recovery could be installed. Just throwing that out there because on the lg l9 some people got their bootloader unlocked using similar method.
Example:
Flash international kdz, root, install recovery, enter unlock bootloader command thru adb.

I don't know a whole lot about recoveries or boot loaders for that matter but I believe the boot loader goes a little deeper than just the kdz. Or some form or software / firmware that makes the ability to restore with another variant useless to keep this from being an option. I may be wrong but for risk of sounding like a smart*$$, and not trying to be at all, we would have been doing that all along with pretty much every brand, make, model, etc. That would be way to easy for the general public to get by their bootloader. Or to be able to restore on a different carrier's variant to jump ship and go with another network.
I could be wrong though...

No but part of the boot chain might be able to be used from the F340. This is my idea which we used for the G2 when KK update came to the AT&T version.

G Flex (D950) has the loki exploit patched. So the only way we are going to get recovery is if someone finds a new exploit or the method I mentioned works...
Kind of disappointing this hasn't gone very far. HTC is going to be doing a retail sales trade in for certain employees and I may go to the M8 if this isn't solved by then. Shame cuz I love the Flex but there's a lot that needs to be cleaned up that just root can't fix.

i say go for it, the 2014 one will have a ton of development on it
lg is hell bent on locking everything down
I'm definitely going to be getting a One as the trade in thing is too good to pass up. It's just a difference of trade in a nexus 4 and put out of pocket a little money or trade in flex and get it for free. Samsung already told me they're giving me an S5 so I'll be getting that in a few weeks too
After some researching I'm going for the one+one. 3gigs of ram. Snapdragon 801 quad core clocked at 2.5 MHz 64 gig internal. Comes unlocked carrier and boot loader. Cyanogenmod built the stock OS out of the box. 5.5" 1080 display there's a reason why its called the flagship killer.
i would of gotten that along time ago its just so hard to get, since the only way to get is still the invite system.
And, read the reviews about the yellow banding on the screen, overheating, and weird reboots.. remember, its CM11 ONLY, so you need to be ok with that for as long as you own the phone. And, if you have issues with it, there is no support..
There's a ton of ROMs. As well as I can build aosp for it. Boot loader unlocked.

I wish I had one myself I just discovered the one plus one for real the other day. And registered on their website yesterday. So I'm eagerly waiting myself. And those screen shots were just the first page. There was several pages of development. Gsmarena said it's the most highly customizable and sure to be the most developed phone yet. And with Cyanogenmod supporting it, it's sure to be the smoothest. I read somewhere else that since it's not carrier specific and it's ota's will come down the pipe from CM that it will most likely be the first phone to get updates. Even before the nexus devices.

NOTHING YOU JUST SAID ABOUT ONEPLUS IS CORRECT. 1ST YOU CAN THROW ANY OS ON THIS DEVICE AS LONG AS ITS COMPATIBLE . THE YELLOW BANDING HAS ONLY HAPPENED TO FEW PEOPLE AND TO THOSE WITH THAT PROBLEM THERE IS NOW A SOLUTION. (Oneplus forums) THE PHONE GETS HOT WITH HEAVY USE JUST LIKE ANY OTHER SMARTPHONE.
REBOOTS?? No NOT AT ALL. MY EXPERIENCE WITH ONEPLUS AND THE.SUPPORT I RECIEVED FROM THEM HAS BEEN NOTHINGS LESS THEM AMAZING. THE OPO IS.THE. BEST PHONE IVE EVER.OWENED PERIOD. SORRY FOR MY RANT,CAPS, AND PUNCTUATION.
THHHAANKK YOU!
I❤MY ONEPLUS ONE. DONT TALK **** HO.

8So I am newer to the development for custom recoveries for LG phones. Knowing that the loki is still locked it doesn't mean we can't start working on some new ROM's and the custom recoveries for the phone. So I thought I would open this up so that we can start working on it together on what we are all waiting for: custom recovery with a cool ROM and modding some of the features and apks that came with the phone (quick remote, q slide, etc.).
I am starting with the TWRP and CM that have been made for the G2 in the hopes that it won't take as long to develop. Would making a repo on github be the easiest way to host the code and have source control? I look forward to working and learning from those who choose to participate.

Thank you my friend nice to see you here too ?. I just got my flex yesterday i hope this weekend i will try to make cwm to work and try to bypass loki

Sent from my LG-D950 using Tapatalk6So rumors have started about a bootloader unlock for the American variants and as soon as I know more on a release I will let them post it first then I will post it here.
