How to install the modified Recovery on the LG G2

In this tutorial I'm going to show you how to install the Modified recovery in the LG G2 business D-802 international y D-800 Company AT&T.

The process is very simple and it is enough to download the file corresponding to the specific model of LG G2 and select the type of modified Recovery to install. We can select between the Clockwork Mod Recovery and TWRP.

Why flash a modified Recovery?

It is interesting to install a Modified recovery, whatever it may be, because from it new options are opened which we cannot find in the serial Recovery of our terminal Android.

We have options as interesting as making a nandroid backup o Backup of our entire system to retrieve it, if necessary, from the terminal itself and without the need for a personal computer.

Another of the functionalities that these offer us Modified Recoverys, is the possibility of installing or flash cooked roms to update our terminal externally to LG and its proprietary firmwares.

If you are interested in installing Cooked roms in the LG G2 we miss the section of Roms en Androidsis from which we will present the best works that we find in the different development forums Android.

Before continuing with this tutorial, I must warn you that when modifying the Recovery of our LG G2, we will automatically lose the validity of the official guarantee of the product that you offer us LG for two years.

Requirements to bear in mind

The first essential requirement is to have one of the two models of LG G2 compatible with this tutorial, as I told you a moment ago, this only applies to the D-802 international and the D-800 Company AT&T.

To install the Clockwork Mod Recovery we will also need to have the terminal previously Rooted, if you do not know how to achieve this, I invite you to you go through this tutorial where I explain it to you in detail.

In addition to all this we must have the drivers of our terminal correctly installed on our computer with Windows, the battery of the LG G2 must be charged at 100 × 100 to avoid possible problems as well as USB debugging enabled from the development options.

Installing ClockworkMod Recovery on LG2

This is one of the two options we have to install a modified Recovery on our LG G2. In order to install this CWM Recovery we must have the Rooted LG G2 and follow these instructions:

First of all we select the ZIP to download according to our model LG G2:

• Files Required for the International D-802
• Files Needed for AT&T D-800

Once the ZIP file is downloaded according to our model, we unzip it anywhere on our PC, connect the LG G2 via USB and execute the file flash_recovery_windows.bat. Now all you have to do is follow the instructions on the screen.

During the process it will give us a choice between the Recovery normal that we can handle with the volume keys or a Touch recovery.

Installing TWRP Recovery

Unlike the previous Recovery, to install this TWRP Recovery we will not need to be root users.

To install it, just download this ZIP compressed file, unzip it anywhere in your Windows, connect the LG G2 to the computer via USB and run the file recovery.bat, then we follow the instructions on the screen of our PC and that's it.

This Recovery is of character tactile and allows you to flash multiple files in one go.

How do I access the new modified Recovery?

In both cases, to access the new Recovery installed we will have to do it starting from the turned off terminal and following this button combination:

Hold button Power plus volume button minus pressed until the logo of LG, then we release them for a moment to press both buttons at the same time. If we have done well, a screen will appear to make a hard Reset al LG G2, on this screen we must press the button power twice in a row and we will be in the main screen of the new Recovery installed.
