You can root 12b with ioroot19. Bootloader is locked so use freegee to install twrp recovery.

The newest version of ioroot is ioroot25, which will root all versions including 24A http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869&nocache=1&z=7334539103321731. Once rooted, download the TWRP 2.6.3.3 from JRJ442's link https://www.dropbox.com/s/meddqewk6muv8p5/twrp.img, also download his TWRP 2.7 https://www.dropbox.com/s/rnj9i1lsg8oc1js/Stock-TWRP2.7-VS980.zip and put both on your sdcard. Then install flashify and use that to flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 ( Just make sure you choose recovery when you start flashify and select the twrp.img from your internal storage. Once you reboot into TWRP 2.6.3.3 you can install the TWRP 2.7 zip (you previously downloaded) via the install in TWRP. These are the exact steps I followed and it was seemless. I can also sucessfully create backups via TWRP 7 without issue (seems to be a problem with some versions).

Because once the KitKat OTA goes live by VZ (could happen, right?), there would be no way to get on the 12B bootstack (no TOT or KDZ). Right now it seems that most of the devs work with the OTA leak will involve the 12B bootstack. You can always go back to 10b or 11a through the tot method. You might not be able to go back if you take an official VZ KitKat update (could happen right??)
Idk maybe I'm wrong. Just my FUD.

Are you on 12B? I don't think the official TWRP is Loki patched for 12B. I patched one to work on both 11A and 12B if you want the link. I've read you can also just extract the recovery IMG from the zip and flash it with Flashify if you wanna try that.

I love TWRP 2.7.0.0 due to the vibrating feedback and the correct date imprint on backup names.
I'm on VS98012B. Had TWRP 2.6.3.3. Needed to update to TWRP 2.7 to move up to KK. I tried dd flashing the 2.7 from TWRP site. Now some error (too quick to see) comes up and shuts the phone off. Tried flashing with dd this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51173763&postcount=4 and got the same error. Tried Flashify and it won't load the image file and when I go to the backup tab it says I have TWRP 2.6.3.3 installed. Any ideas how I can get a custom recovery installed?

You have 2.6.3.3 installed now right? If so just flashing mine in recovery will work fine. No need to dd them, probably wouldn't work anyway because in order to to change images in the ramdisk, I have to un-Loki them. Loki'd images can't be unpacked. So after I make changes, I repack and place them in a zip with a Loki patch that works on 11a or 12b. So mine are just to be flashed in recovery.

I think that's because you tried to flash an unloki'd image. Try flashing this one with Flashify https://www.dropbox.com/s/meddqewk6muv8p5/twrp.img. Its preloki'd and version 2.6.3.3 or.4, if it works you can just flash any of the ones from my thread in recovery to update to 2.7. There's a stock on there too if you don't want a themed one.

Try wiping app data on Flashify. And make sure its granted root access.
If all else fails you can try to dd the twrp.img I linked. I don't get why Flashify isn't working though. I've never had that issue. I had someone in my S3 thread that kept having Flashify issues. He used this app and it worked. You could try it too https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools

I have downloaded a TWRP 2.7 flashable zip. The official instructions on the TWRP site talk about using a .img file, but they don't have a 2.7 img for vs980.
Many threads mention some images are Lokified, others are not, I'm not sure how to install.
This is a new G2 with 12B that I'm going to root with IORoot 25, how can I get TWRP installed on it as well, preferably in same adb session?
Thanks
Is this the right way?
flash older 2.6.3.2 img using Flashify
reboot into recovery
flash 2.7 zip
Is there a faster way to do this?
Can someone please help?

Root with ioroot
Flashify has its own download section, I would download the .IMG file in the app, just to make sure you have the correct one.
Follow directions in flashify.
I just did this with cwm and it worked, it might have the latest twrp to flash in the app.

If you just want the easiest method, do this:
Extract twrp.lok from this thread. (first download twrp.zip...the .lok file is in there) Rename the extension to img. Flash that with flashify. Then flash this in recovery. You should now be on twrp 2.7 loki'd for 12b. :good:
Credit for that procedure goes to JRJ442...i just explained his steps from here.

Will this method work if I already have TWRP 2.6.3.3? My goal is: get to TWRP 2.7 but tried to go into TWRP and flash the "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-vs980.zip", it tells me I can't because it can't find "/tmp/loki.sh" (couldn't capture exact message). Currently I'm on 12B.

Yeah the official that you tried doesn't have the correct Loki patch for 12B. Thats why it throws that message. All the ones I made for VS980 are patched to work on 11A or 12B. Just click on "This" a few posts up. That goes to my Dropbox. The zip is Stock-TWRP2.7-VS980. Just flash in recovery, then reboot recovery and it'll be 2.7
Or if you have Flashify you can download and install 2.7 through that.
These one click tools worked for me. I went from 12b + stock recovery to twrp 2.7 with just a few clicks. I used it yesterday. Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2713954

Autorec flashes TWRP, that's it, once in recovery you're just using TWRP. You can delete Autorec from your phone after you're done flashing TWRP. Anyway, you can't install stock releases via TWRP unless a dev modifies one to be flashed. Care to point to one of the zip's you're trying to flash?

If you're experiencing that root doesn't work on some apps well this thing is for you. Chainfire may have been fixed all that issues.
To install flash this zip in your recovery (twrp or cwm):
http://download.chainfire.eu/624/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.23.zip
Note that this SuperSU is beta!
So basically what you saying is that with this version of SuperSU its possible to use flashify /flash twrp or cwm, and then flash superSu 2.23 and we are rooted on 5.0??
Or its not that simple, i wont have pc for few days thats why I'm asking

I'm not sure if root issue has got to do anything with nexus devices because we have ADB/Fastboot.
Root is working fine since the release of lollipop, basically all i did was flash the Permissive kernel + cf root from chainfire via fastboot (this is for people that do not have access to TWRP recovery in the first place on lollipop).

CF Auto Root also removes Maps and YouTube from the System/app Partition for some weird reason.

Oh thats good for you but if i were you, I'd stay away from toolkit and do it manually.

Are there problems associated with it?
I've made sure I had ADB, Fastboot, etc setup before I used it. Nothing can really go wrong since it's a Nexus, lol.
Here's an actual link to the thread...

Well... That's an old kernel, although I don't know if anything has changed since then.
CF Auto Root also removes Maps and YouTube from the System/app Partition for some weird reason.
I always used Wugfresh's NRT. It did everything while I just sat and watched, lol.

Flashify is an app that have ability to flash custom recoveries among other stuff..only thing im not certain if root is required in order for app to work..especially on lollipop..
I think its not possible anyway so nevermind....

Please use the existing thread HERE
Everytime I install the TWRP Recovery and try to boot into recovery mode it just reboots to the regular phone framework.
Whats going on and what do I do now?
HTC Desire 626s
Bootloader Unlocked
using this twrp recovery from here
Edit: So I rooted my phone using the Cyanogenmod recovery since I had gaven up and just tried the next best thing,I got SuperSU Binaries & APK installed so I'm all good. However I would like to know if there is anything I should know when using a recovery and why in the above forum thread they said to use the TWRP method instead of Cyanogenmod ("Highly recommended")
Thank you for your time XDA (aprox. 14minutes replies and 18minutes views)!
EDIT: just realized you incluided your twrp source. Try mine from here
i had the same issue, it means the twrp you used isnt right for your phone. is the twrp you used mine? if so, you need to go into bootloader mode and tell me what the hardware model of your phone. should start with a32XXX i developed for the a32eul and tmobile.
If you grabbed it from captain_throwback that is meant for the sprint variant. there are no other twrp for any other carriers.

Just an FYI, captain throwbacks version worked on my MetroPCS variant.
To the OP, did you ever have any custom recovery flashed? Like the partially working CM recovery ? If you have root access already you could use rashr or flashify to flash a recovery .img

Thank you for replying anyway,unfortunate I can't use it anymore (or don't have to),
Used the Cyanogenmod method from the same thread mentioned in OP's Post.
My carrier is TMobile (comes with the app & stuff).
If I tried the Sprint variant should I be worried I tried (and failed)?

The partially working CM recovery? Perhaps you are referring to Cyanogenmod?
I didn't try anything but this TWRP,but now I used the Cyanogenmod and installed the SuperSU v2.52 binaries and everything,so its fine now,but if you are referring to Cyanogenmod then why is is partially working and should I be aware of any problems?

Before captain throwbacks TWRP somebody had uploaded a version of cyanogen mod recovery to work on the desire 626s. But it wasn't fully functional. It didn't read from external storage which also made nandroid backups not an option. But what it did do however, is allow us to flash super SU from internal storage. But if you have flashed superuser and have achieved root you can go ahead and flash the twrp .IMG with rashr or flashify

As far as which one you should use, use the one Jmingels posted as he says that works on T-Mobile ... I can only confirm MetroPCS for captain throwbacks version. I'm not sure about if it will work for a t mobile phone or not. But if the recovery you have is the CM one posted in the how to root thread you are definitely going to want to update to twrp for a full featured recovery. Just download jmingels file, download rashr or flashify from playstore, and install the .IMG file you downloaded.. With rashr select recovery from storage, or with flashify select flash a recovery/choose file,flash it, reboot, done. Easy as that
