How do you plan on getting the stock recovery back onto your phone?

Sent from my amazing LGG3!
[T-Mobile LG G3] BACARDILIMON:
I believe that you can't cause in order to get into recovery you need to do hardware button to recovery and that would do a full wipe of everything every time you go into it. So no. Unless you go stock unrooted

In case anyone doesn't know, if you download the TWRP app in the Play Store, you can update the recovery to 2.7.1.3 (or somewhere around there) which has full screen support and the text looks normal :good:

So if I flash the efs zip file from the op, it will make a efs file for me of my imei? Sorry if this has been answered already.

[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
It only backs up can not make anything. The old small twrp backed efs up without telling you and the updated twrp has a efs option so the efs backup from the op isn't needed but it is also good to have that type of thing backed up in multiple ways.

[T-Mobile LG G3] Jephre:
For those of you doing this on a mac, how did you install adb to your mac? I used Nexus Tools, but I'm finding that every time I try to run "adb devices", I have to reinstall Nexus Tools to get my LG G3 to show up. Otherwise, no devices show up when I run that command.

I've experienced similar issues to some other members of this thread where I'm stuck on the "waiting for device" line after the device goes into a reboot.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mallman:
this works!!
[T-Mobile LG G3] koraun:
none at all. Typed the commands, once it came back up i installed supersu from the playstore and tried using one of my root apps. Worked like a charm. Didn't have any problems. Actually getting into fastboot is the hard part for me, but other than that smooth sailing. May be best to wait on the windows app to install recovery. I'm going to keep trying though.

[T-Mobile LG G3] Boostjunky:
The custom boot.img works for its intended purpose. It hides the rooted status from the built-in LG Root Checker, not the T-Mobile app.
[T-Mobile LG G3] jailbreakkid23:
Thanks. But whats the bwnefit of lg not knowing your rooted

swagg blasted from Tmo LG G3
[T-Mobile LG G3] Boostjunky:
If T-Mobile ever did start caring about rooted devices, they would be able to check to see if the built-in LG Root Checker was tripped.

As already mentioned, the T-Mobile device health app isn't the built-in "Root Checker" that was being referred to. The T-Mobile Device Health app data can be cleared and noone would be the wiser once you unrooted the phone. The built-in Root Checker, on the other hand, you cannot simply wipe data and expect that to go away.

It's somewhat unimportant for the time being, anyway, since apparently T-Mobile doesn't currently care if your phone is rooted or not.

If they ever do start caring, it's the built-in root checker that you'll want to be aware of. Not the T-Mobile Device Health app. That is, unless you've enabled reporting to T-Mobile, in which case they could track whether your phone was rooted or not at any given time...
[T-Mobile LG G3] zawata:
is an EFS backup necessary? or just highly reccomended? why is it needed?

why is it not listed under other exploits suck as stump?

do the other exploits hide root from root checker aswell?

are there any advantages to using purpledrake over ioroot or stump?

i just came from my droid dna, where things didnt seem so complicated and im still getting used to a new phone(i love this G3!!!!) im so glad i made the switch to tmobile, the service where i like is so much better than verizon.

EDIT:

i ended up just using stump because it was the easiest and tmobile doesnt give a sh!t about rooting, . I am curious though, is there a way to get just the recovery miage to flash it? i think i might just wait for it. I dont plan on flashing any roms until AOSP comes along(if i doesnt happen soon ill start it on my own)

another question, how do you check if the internal LG root checker has been tripped??
[T-Mobile LG G3] willdiddy:
For some reason I cannot find full-screen version of team win recovery in turn manager. Also I cannot perform dalvik/cache wipe in my team win recovery.

[T-Mobile LG G3] tschmid:
In hidden menu you can check if the root checker has been tripped.

For d855 it is 3845#*855# so i think for d851 it is 3845#*851#

Are u saving it to your internal SD or an external? Cause I can say- the other day while running a backup of my wife's S4, it took almost 30 minutes!! I realized it was because I had it backing up to an ancient 4GB SD card I had just popped in. It was probably a class 0.5 card:) Ha, I think it filled it with about 55MB to spare!

[T-Mobile LG G3] Gam3r 4 Life:
If your rooted with TWRP dont take it. You will boot loop. If your rooted and dont want the update message you can delete the file, then disable OTA in the hidden menu.

1) Open Dialer and dial 3845#*851# for hidden menu.

2) wlan test > ota setting >Disable

3) Reboot
[T-Mobile LG G3] CheesyNutz:
Nobody can tell you what to do ...but its safe to say I wouldn't take it
[T-Mobile LG G3] dhonzik:

[T-Mobile LG G3] Gam3r 4 Life:
Cache folder. After I did the commands it wasn't there.

I disabled the ota from hidden menu then wiped Davlik and cache but the notifaction is still there. Can anyone help? Please and thank you!
[T-Mobile LG G3] minikirchner:
How did you get out of bootloop? I tried restoring an old backup and also wiped cache/dalvik.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Gam3r 4 Life:
Open Terminal Command in TWRP. On first page just hit The Advanced Button, Terminal Command, Select Current Folder, Then type the following.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

then hit enter

type

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc

then hit enter and reboot.

And then I used the method described by Autoprime to disable OTA updates in the hidden menu. Heres what I did.

1) Open Dialer and dial 3845#*851# for hidden menu.

2) wlan test > ota setting >Disable

3) Reboot

So far no new update message. Thanks Autoprime and Brentkhack

[T-Mobile LG G3] siraltus:
I restored to stock to take the OTA and tried PurpleDrake again and it crashes during the permaroot verification check after it applies permaroot.

I ended up getting temproot, pushing and flashing TWRP, and restoring my TWRP backup, but PurpleDrake needs to be updated to work with this new 10m ROM.

Also, disabling the OTA setting in the hidden menu and deleting LGFOTA.apk (and rebooting) does not work, I still get the notificiation - it's being pushed by Google Play Services, had to disable notifications for it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] cdejesus1119:
Just pull the battery and turn phone on. Worked for me..

Then I installed TWRP manager and installed d851.. worked for me..:)
[T-Mobile LG G3] autoprime:
can someone post the EXACT error when installing twrp after 10m?

which option are u selecting.. custom boot + twrp? or just twrp? etc.

id prob skip custom boot as it'll be flashing 10c custom boot.. we dont have an updated 10m yet

custom boot makes sure root flag is never set.. but remember.. you can always flash stock tot to remove that flag if needed.
[T-Mobile LG G3] siraltus:
There is no error. After it says it's applying permaroot and waiting for the system to settle, the words "Checking if it worked" flash for split second and the window closes (script terminates).

What's the significance of the root flag? Does it make anything stop working on the phone?
[T-Mobile LG G3] scr6:
Purple drake was crashing for me after permaroot but it did root. I only need root for xposed to I guess I'm good with that. Like everyone else though no error message just the window closing out. I had previously rooted with stumproot before the update. Not sure if that makes a difference.
[T-Mobile LG G3] antawnm26:
same here i took the ota as well, but still have root just reboot install supersu, get root checker to make sure
[T-Mobile LG G3] CheesyNutz:

How-to] Disable OTA updates on Stock + Rooted ROMs

------------------------------------

I see this question come up once in a while here, and I had a similar thread on the ET4G about this so I thought I'd recreate it here for you S3 folks. I recently flashed to LJ7 to do some testing and while there was getting bugged by the OTA update, so I tried this method out and confirmed it does work on the S3 as well.

[How-to] Disable OTA updates on Stock + Rooted ROMs

1. Download FOTAKill.apk* and copy to your Phone/SD

2. Use a root explorer (such as ES Explorer) to copy the file to /system/app

3. If the update already downloaded, use your root explorer to delete it from /cache

4. reboot

If the update notice is still in the notification bar after the reboot, simply swipe it away. That should be the last time you are ever prompted to update via OTA. Even if you manually go to system update and click check now it will no longer offer you the OTA. You can simply delete the apk from /system/app to reverse this mod.

Other way for LG phones:

If you got the update and dont want to take it.. and want the notification gone you should be able to use a file explorer to delete the update zip from the the /cache directory... as well as rename the LGFOTA.apk file in /system/app to LGFOTA.apk.bak.

I can also confirm that disabling OTA updates in the hidden menu works. the moment I set it back to "on" (i set mine to off day 1) and rebooted the update came in.

d851 hidden menu > wlan test > ota setting > off > reboot (if you have been notified of an available update do NOT reboot until you have deleted the ota zip first)

1) Open Dialer and dial 3845#*851# for hidden menu.

2) wlan test > ota setting >Disable

3) Reboot

How do I get rid of the persistent notification? It's annoying me.

Longpress on notification then turn off notification.
[T-Mobile LG G3] thekosmicdesign:
I used this tool when I first got my G3 a month ago to root and install TWRP. Yesterday morning I installed the OTA update and my phone got stuck in a boot loop to recovery. I re-flashed the stock rom. Then I tried using this tool again and the temp root worked fine, but when the perma root process happened, the window just shut down on me. My phone did get rooted, but TWRP wasn't installed.

How do I install TWRP separately? It is not listed as a supported device on the Team Win website. I just don't want to mess things up, since this program did it for me automatically last time and this time it's not working.
[T-Mobile LG G3] aaanadie:
After PurpleDrake you got root but no TWRP, then go to PlayStore and find for TRWP Manager...

About software version

Hello everybody,

Does anyone know if this tool is working in this new software version, D85110m?

I will be waiting for your reply, thank you. :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] Gandalf:
works perfectly fine.
[T-Mobile LG G3] zawata:
if by new software you mean the newst ota then yes

just took the ota and it un-SU-ed my device. then nothing would install su but it was still rooted

purpledrake fixed it :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] wha2do:
Looking at the OTA, it has a stock recovery image in it. Will having TWRP flashed have any effect on the OTA installing correctly

other than having to re-flash TWRP?

Just asking because thought had read someone encountered it only booting into TWRP after taking the OTA... If need be, I'll go

back to stock 10c via flashtool, take the OTA, and re-root and flash TWRP.

Thanks!!
[T-Mobile LG G3] Noriega813:
Has anyone used stump root(I got it rooted) then tried flasing a recovery and failed? Mine keeps getting stuck at a fastboot screen?

Im usually a nexus type of guy so rooting is much simpler than this. Thanks in advance.

I updated to 10m few days ago and cannot get root access. I had it on 10c via stump. The script (Linux) boots me into bnr and hangs indefinitely. Today I attempted to manually root via adb. The issue is I have no adb access inside bnr. I ran lsusb and noticed the values were different than when booted into the os so I added these new value to 51-android.rules. no luck there. Anyone came across this before?
