Help LG E980 can't access recovery secure booting error Cause: boot certification verify

Ok so thanks ahead of time for any help given, here is my story. I have a E980 with the latest AT&T 4.4.2 on it and should have done a little more reading before I installed a custom recovery. I used a one click rooting app for pc which worked great and root was achieved with no problems. Then not knowing about needing a lokified recovery for this I used FREEGEE and CM Rom Manager to attempt to install a custom recovery which both said they were successful and according to CM Rom manager i am running CM recovery 6.0.3.8. My phone still works fine but I can't factory restore or boot into recovery without getting the secure booting error Cause: boot certification verify. I have looked for the last two days on this form and others trying to find a way to get back into recovery. Everything I have read on this error ends up leading back to me using the recovery to flash another rom or another recovery which I can't do. From what I have read the people with this error normally can't do anything on there phones. I do have Android studio installed (although don't really know how to use it) on my PC in hopes that there is some way I can fix this. Please if anyone can lead me in the right direction so I can get back into a recovery and load the lokified one it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for any help given!
 
Being rooted already, I'd think you could enable loki from inside the OS either with a rooted file explorer or adb shell. I'm guessing the lokified recovery zips just run a script to do that same thing while also flashing recovery.
 
Hey have you found a solution?? I have the exact same problem. Don't know what to do. Phone works but I can't get into recovery at all. Kerp getting that error message. Help if you found a way.
