Dear all,

I have lg g2 mini d620r with android 4.4.2 , i want to install custom rom like cyanogenmod on my device but the problem is that i can't install custom recovery like cwr or else. From my stock recovery i can do only a factory reset. I tried to install custom recoveries but with no success (the problem which i didnt have on my samsung s4 mini.) Wich is the best way for me to do it!?
Any advices?

Kind regards,
 
Hi there and welcome to the site. Unfortunately the only way to flash a custom ROM is to have a custom recovery first. As I mentioned in the other thread where I moved your post from, you MUST make sure that said custom recovery is made for your exact phone make and model. Custom ROM do not pass the authentication process of stock recovery.

And even if or when you find a way to root and flash a proper custom recovery, you also MUST make sure that the custom ROM is also for your exact make and model phone.
