first donation! thanks :highfive:
[Verizon LG G3] transfo47:
Woooo! Thank you devs so much for all the work you put in to make our G3 even MORE awesome! ???
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
You're welcome!! You guys definitely deserve it as the process clearly wasn't as easy as one might have hoped! I even tripled my "original" donation because I appreciate you guys releasing the unlock on a "donation" basis so much, as it seems like this is becoming more and more rare nowadays! Thanks again!

PS - I mentioned thecubed in my original post, but for some reason AnimatronicRocketReptile's donation link is not working, at least for me. If his gets fixed, he's got $10 coming his way, too! :)
[Verizon LG G3] JustinKurey:
another confirmation, it worked for me! follow the instructions and read the posts on this thread and you should have no problem! gah i'm so excited to get my flashing habit back in style on my lg g3! thanks devs!
[Verizon LG G3] noobiest:
As others reported, make sure Internet mode is selected, not mtp for adb. But, worked like a charm. You guys are wizards. Donations coming! One question though, do we now have system write for fonts and the like?
[Verizon LG G3] Bassdj427:
Amazing work!!! Backing up now! Will AOSP be a possibility with this now??

And suddenly I find a reason to stave off sleep for another hour or so! Time to dust off the ol' ADB files.
[Verizon LG G3] geetee360:
Worked Great! Thanks!

Works beautifully, backed up and feeling a lot better already. ran into a few issues that i wouldn't have had if I'd been actively reading the many replies on here (Ethernet mode for usb debugging and the button combination) :P But got it going thanks to help from the guys in #Lg-g3 on freenode irc. Thanks for the G3 love. Great work!
[Verizon LG G3] scy1192:
Would it be pertinent to backup the stock recovery? I've done it anyways, here it is for any vs985 users that overwrote theirs and wants a copy of stock.

Probably a great idea just in case! Went ahead and snagged a copy of that just in case, so thanks!

Backup is in progress. Beautiful work, everyone. Donations will be inbound after I get back from VA next week and pick up my check. Since you've got six members on this, I'll bump my bounty up to $60 so you each get a fair share. Much appreciated for all the hard work, I knew it'd be worth the wait.

Bring on the ROMs!

I have G3 TweakBox installed, and with the expanded reboot menu "Reboot to Recovery" works perfect- didn't even prompt me to wipe my phone (which I was scared of), straight to TWRP

Got my Lg3 today and immediately rooted and bumped. Worked beautifully. Thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] nrkid9:
Applied bump to my VZW G3 and I get a blinking red and blue notification light, instead of booting into TWRP after hitting "Yes" to factory data reset. I can still boot into the phone normally but TWRP doesn't seem to want to launch. I understand this isn't the place for questions but nobody in the IRC was willing to help me with this.
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
Just to confirm, are you on software update 10B? And one thing that many people have confirmed to be working is to use flashify to flash the recovery image. Doing this, you should then be able to use any 4-way reboot app available on the play store to boot right into twrp.
[Verizon LG G3] nrkid9:
Yes, I'm on update 10B. Is there an issue with setting up the recovery on this update?
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
No you're good!

Use Flashify, very easy to do. I'd just stay on 10B and freeze system update with TiBU.

And you can now flash the latest 11C Modem as well in TWRP. I can link you to it if you're interested.
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
I'll go ahead and beat you to it, just in case and for good measure ;) Here's the post directly from [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION] :)

[Verizon LG G3] 318sugarhill:
Just to clarify 10b was not the update... 10b was purchased stock. 11c was the update and needs to be rolled back to 10b to be bumped
[Verizon LG G3] nrkid9:
Still trying to get TWRP to work but it's not coming up.

I'm actually fine with using the stock ROM if I can freeze system update. I didn't know I could do this. Is there a way to enable sys R/W so that I can get my ad blocker going?
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
I use SuperSU as my overall root access manager, then titanium backup to freeze the "System update .." App. That takes care of unwanted ota

After SuperSU is installed, then you can add things like adaway.
[Verizon LG G3] XylerSmith:
why dont we have like tethered cm11 or aosp other models do even if i had to use my computer to start it i would be fine because it would be worth it
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
Yep this is correct, my terminology could have been better. I was just confirming he was on 10B to begin with haha :)
[Verizon LG G3] nrkid9:
Adaway is definitely installed. It has trouble applying the hosts file because my sys directory is still locked to read only.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
You need to tell SuperSU to grant adaway root permission.
[Verizon LG G3] d08speed3:
So with 11C update there is no way to root and Bump? Lady got this phone today and she accepted the OTA update as soon as the phone turned on =\ God this phone feels slow compared to my M8 lol

[Verizon LG G3] d08speed3:
So I am going to attempt to roll back to 10b. When I bump does it install TWRP? Or would I have to use flasify or ADB to flash a recovery first then I can proceed in to going into recovery?

[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
You're going to TOT back to 10B. Then use Stump Root. Then download the Verizon TWRP recovery image from the OP, and use Flashify to flash as Recovery Image and you're done!

[Verizon LG G3] dabug123:
There is a way but it requires using adb to push another variants aboot not worth it
[Verizon LG G3] Albinoman:
Sorry guys I thought this was a different device forum. That's what I get for not sleeping.
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
You should also then upgrade to a rom that has them removed entirely, or freeze the system updates app, as well as the com.lge.lgfota.permission app just to be 100% safe from the update. On the off-chance it downloads before you can get rooted and get it blocked, then you'll have to delete all the files inside /cache/fota as well.

i rooted on 10b, somehow got updated to 11c in my pocket, but am still rooted.

I downloaded flashify. Can i flash the verizon bump image recovery image?

thanks

[Verizon LG G3] sxm2:
i should say i used ioroot and not stump to root, does that matter?

not that im aware of. your either rooted or not, thats all that matters.
[Verizon LG G3] sxm2:
This is great. I think i dodged a bullet. I was waiting for the weekend to bump correctly and the damn ota upadte applied itself somehow. Maybe the install button got pressed in my pocket.

Anyway, the flashify method worked and i am backing up my phone right now.

[Verizon LG G3] WorldOfJohnboy:
Curious: Is the only way to boot to TWRP to use the hardware buttons, or will adb reboot recovery work?

[Verizon LG G3] droidkevlar:
This is a leak for one vendor. If they released now, means other carriers could patch it, esp verizon since they are last to push updates.

They will release it when they release it.

[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
I suppose you're right, my fault. Was only messing around.
[Verizon LG G3] LongSimple:
You are actually incorrect on that, the reason bump works for all variants is that it is based off of something that LG does, not what carriers can do.

Oh sh.t the roms will be flowing in the next couple days
[Verizon LG G3] maxpower7:
My apologies if this has already been posted, but I tried searching the thread and didn't get any results. After using this method, TWRP doesn't recognize my external SD card. It shows 0 available space and won't let me mount it. Is this a known issue, or does anyone know a workaround?
[Verizon LG G3] bostonbassman78:
Pretty sure u have to format the sdcard to fat32
[Verizon LG G3] maxpower7:
I should have specified....my card is already formatted to Fat32.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
If you haven't already tried this, try formatting it from within twrp itself. It's under advanced wipe, the option to change file system on your external SD card.

(Make sure you have backed up anything on it first.)
[Verizon LG G3] maxpower7:
That's kind of unfortunate. I've used this card with TWRP on other phones and never had this issue. Thanks for the tip though.
[Verizon LG G3] Roblewis17:

Can someone provide instructions on restoring and backup as mine fails?
[Verizon LG G3] goldsmitht:
Lost Stock Backup

I rooted with STump, then Bump'd with Flashify, and of course the flashaholic in me reared its ugly head.

so... i created a stock backup (or so i thought) and started on my merry flashing way. However, when i noobed, and tried to flash an AOSP without downloading gapps first (was able to get out of that one) i tried to restore my stock rooted back-up, and walla... no stock back up?

i can see it in my file explorer under TWRP and Backups, but when i try to find it to restore it, there is nothing there. I'm not normally a noob at this, been flashing roms since the Droid X days, however, not sure why TWRP doesn't recognize my stock backup.

any ideas / help would be greatly appreciated. REALLY do NOT want to have to go back to totally stock and start all over if i don't have to.

:confused: :confused: :confused:

:cyclops:
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
May seem silly but your making sure to select which location to look for backups in TWRP right?

Internal / External
[Verizon LG G3] goldsmitht:
yeh, that is the strange part; i can see it, find it in my file explorer, and with the file explorer in TWRP, just cannot flash it.

maybe move it to download? IDK on this one, its got me stumped

:confused:

:cyclops:
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
When I've seen this before on other devices, a reflash of recovery fixed the problem.

So try flashing whatever ROM for the time being, then grab Flashify and reflash this Bump'd TWRP and try again... That's all the ideas I have for this right now hopefully that fixes you up.
[Verizon LG G3] Russ0000:
Did you create the back up on your external SD card.
[Verizon LG G3] goldsmitht:
Nope, no external sdcard at all
[Verizon LG G3] Russ0000:
Oh wow, I thought for sure it was an SD card formatted in exfat causing the issue. If you can get into your ASOP rom just go in and download the gapps and flash the gapps. If your worried about your back up try flashify and see if you can restore it.
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
Be sure the little bar points to your internal (or external) location for where you saved your backup. Or else it won't see it, like what your experiencing...
[Verizon LG G3] goldsmitht:
Nope, no external. I was able to vet the aosp rom to launch so i could copy the gapps file over and get it flashed correctly.

Ive been told that flashing TWRP again with flashify might fix it. This wouldn't cause problems with my current setup would it?
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
No you'd simply be re installing your recovery image. All your folders would remain in tact. Doing that would not wipe your TWRP folders where your backups are located.

That's just my suggestion based off of what I've seen in the past of users having your same issue.

Hope it works for you.
[Verizon LG G3] jdgesmlls:
The only time I have ever come across something like this was when my S4 was warranty replaced, thus when I flashed SafeStrap (modified TWRP 2.7.0.0) it created a new /TWRP/BACKUP/<device id>. I had a perfectly functioning backup that I used before but it would not be seen as an eligible backup to restore.

What I ended up doing is doing a backup of the "new" stock ROM to my external_sd and it created the new folder device ID of the new phone, and I moved my old, good backup to that folder and rebooted, voila it was there... Maybe you can verify this good backup of your ROM is placed in the directory that TWRP would default backup to had you chosen your sdcard. I know this isn't the same as your situation but figured it could be something you can try...

:fingers-crossed:

EDIT** Also check the permissions of your stock backup you want to restore to see if it matches the permissions TWRP would give to a new backup. It seems it is temperamental with this sort of thing...
[Verizon LG G3] goldsmitht:
no go; reinstalling TWRP didn't bring it up. ???

:cyclops:
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Ahhh that stinks huh?!

I Google'd your issue and came across various people having it on other devices and that fixed it for them... Hopefully some one smarter than I can chime in and help here..

[Verizon LG G3] jeph0r3:
So just to clarify everything.... I take the img file in the OP and flash it using flashify... At this point my phone is rooted, bumped! and on 10B. It is constantly asking me to update it.. I like the feel of stock. However, I want to update to I guess 11C and see what is new.. But I don't want to lose root or mobile hotspot... Is this possible?

Thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] ylexot:
Use one of the stock ROMs in the development forum. I'm using Jasmine 3.0 which is based on 11C.

updates

Anyone know if the developers are going to continue work on this version of TWRP? I have used it several times already to recover after making some changes like converting some apps into system apps using Titanium backup. Some apps just don't like to be converted to system apps. The sheer amount of roms available is awesome. Some things I believe are things the needs to be fixed which clearly are not deal breakers as this recovery works as expected.

exfat support on external sdcard. I believe that it is not possible to save TWRP backups to an sdcard formatted as exfat. Or maybe it doesn't work on 128gb cards formatted as exfat.

it looks like TWRP 2.8.1.0 fixes some issues with MTP also.

Again, not important. I just wondered if development would continue.

Big thanks for all of the support !

The adb command is only if you are using a pc to connect to phone. Your best bet and easiest is to download Flashify from the playstore and flash it that way.

I've flashed several recoveries in Terminal, I actually prefer it! Then again I love Linux and Terminal, so I guess I'm weird.

Way back in the Droid X2 days our devs (P3Droid, DZK) pretty much said "you can take the easy way out, or you can learn and understand the system".

Then again, this was when V6 supercharger was the best script ever.

[Verizon LG G3] Mr. Orange 645:
Yes, I just got one myself and so far I love it. And I actually just got through downgrading it to the previous software version (VS98510B), so I could root it with Stump Root, and I just Bump'd it and installed TWRP recovery. Now for some ROM flashing goodness!
[Verizon LG G3] 117micc:
I'll be sure to do that as well, I have longed for aosp for over a year now!!! And PA just dropped ? I think it's fate lol
[Verizon LG G3] zakkyzombie:
I was going too but I saw he said something along the lines of he hates LGs skin and probably won't do another LG build. It would be nice to have a stock Rom that's deodex, blacked out and AOSP goodies baked in with a few tweaks.

GUISE LETS START A PETITION.

I gave it my best shot. Hopefully.

Update---

Nitro replied to my message with

" If I could afford to pick up a G3 I would definitely bring Eclipse to it! I see that they are going for $375-$400 on Swappa. I would probably have some extra cash after the new year to pick one up! Hang tight man!"

[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
If you have root on v11c, then you can install and use the Bumpd TWRP, most easily with Flashify. But...you cannot root v11c, you can only root v10b, and once you are on v10b you might as well root and install bumpd TWRP on it, then flash whatever parts of v11c you decide to, like maybe the radio.
[Verizon LG G3] Jan1torEarl:
Just to be clear we still need to use the Bumped version of TWRP when using Flashify correct?

Just came over to LG and the whole bump thing with my new G3 I got yesterday! :highfive:
