I was thinking that we could theme our TWRP. There are a few threads in the S4 forums with really cool themes, I'll have to dig them back up.

Easy to do too..
[Verizon LG G3] krazy_smokezalot:
If you know how to resize it for our screen than go for it I saw some on the twrp original theme thread but it didn't fit our screen size[emoji22]
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Ahhh that's right, it's early and hasn't even given that a thought. I could probably do it ( not 100% ) but today I'll look into it.
[Verizon LG G3] gramenz:
Dumb question-

I was an idiot and didn't back up my stock recovery. What is the best way of returning to stock recovery without a full flash of the stock ROM? Is it possible? Can I putt the recovery out of the .TOT file and flash via flashify?

Thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] bunchies:
Here's the stock recovery.img http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3/VS985/stock_partitions/10B/recovery.img

I guess you could use flashify but the dd commands will be the best way to do this
[Verizon LG G3] gramenz:
Thank you!
[Verizon LG G3] Ban-Hammer:
Used flashify, worked like a charm. Just backup stock recovery, flash the bumped one, hold Vol - while booting. Now we wait for CM!
[Verizon LG G3] b00sted:
locked and loaded waiting for some AOSP goodness. thanks much!
[Verizon LG G3] Galaid:
easy success for d855

Easiest way:

download "flashify" via play store

download "twrp-2.8.0.0_d855-signed.img" from http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lg_g3/bump/

open flashify

optionally: make sure md5 of img file is "96b20f9b5b3721dd69776863ed0aa538"

optionally: backup stock kernel and recovery inside flashify

click on "FLASH -> Recovery image" then "chose a file" and select img file, then flash

wait few seconds

pray

flashify -> menu -> reboot recovery
[Verizon LG G3] genetrader:
Just wanted to say thanks...

Thanks to you and your team The_Cubed... just made a small donation and will spread more to the other guys who made this possible.

I can honestly say guys like you never cease to amaze me with your resourcefulness (and your wit - I certainly wouldn't want to be stared down and made to feel guilty...).

Fantastic work - thank you all for this. Let the flashing begin (only the digital ROM kind please).

:good:
[Verizon LG G3] JCDinPGH:
For anyone who is interested, I bought a USB-OTG cable and attached a fat32 formatted 32g USB flash drive to my phone and TWRP recognized it and backed up correctly to it. It does not recognize the USB flash drive if it is formatted at exfat however although that was to be expected.
[Verizon LG G3] AlpineM3:
Ok fellas, just rooted via Stump and now trying to use flashify to install custom Recovery and have a few questions (yes yes, i read all 29 pages and still have questions) - Once TWRP is downloaded and moved to my SD Card, open flashify and select choose file and choose TWRP file, I keep getting an error message if it not being able to be loaded...??

Also, following these steps, but how does one back up the stock kernel and recovery without a custom recovery installed? Titanium Back up?? Thanks in advance! :

Easiest way:

download "flashify" via play store

download "twrp-2.8.0.0_d855-signed.img" from http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lg_g3/bump/

optionally: make sure md5 of img file is "96b20f9b5b3721dd69776863ed0aa538"

optionally: backup stock kernel and recovery

open flashify and click on "FLASH -> Recovery image" then "chose a file" and select img file, then flash

wait few seconds

pray

flashify -> menu -> reboot recovery
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
First off, your on Verizon correct? And your using the Verizon specific TWRP image?

Re Download the file from the OP here.

Then open up Flashify, and backup your current Recovery.

Then under Flash, choose Recovery Image.

Then find the one you downloaded from the OP here and flash it!

You should be good to go!
[Verizon LG G3] AlpineM3:
I am on Verizon and yes, downloading the VS985img file. Via ES explorer moving it from the internal downloads folder to my external SD card (in no folder), opening up flashify, recovery image, choose a file then selecting the proper IMG file and it continues to give me an error message that it can't load file....does my SD Card have to be formatted?

Do I do a nadroid back up via Flashify?
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
No you do not do a Nandroud backup through Flashify.

Download the recovery image, but this time just leave it in your download directory. Then open up Flashify and make sure it has been granted SuperUser rights. Them again choose Recovery Image in Flashify and look for the one you've downloaded in your sdcard/download folder.

No need to move it once you download it. It can be on your internal memory in your download folder. We moved it when we were using the ADB / Terminal method to the root of our SdCard.

Edit

Also don't download it with the ES File Download manager. Some times that can effect the actual download. Download normally through Chrome or whatever you happen to use.
[Verizon LG G3] AlpineM3:
Ok, backed up kernel and stock recovery via Flashify and tested flashing the file once left the IMG File in my download folder and was prompted with the "Flash Recovery" message and now need to hit "Yup!".......fingers crossed everything goes well! Will update once I have ...thank you for your patience and input. (Apologies for the noobness as this process is vastly different than that of what I remember, i've been out of the rooting game since my days of the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4)

Last question I promise, how do I boot into recovery now that I've successfully installed it - Power + Vol Down once shut off?
[Verizon LG G3] bobcat987:
You bring up a good point. I recommend everyone in the rom flashing game have an OTG cable, flash drive, and at least one redundant (external hdd) backup just in case. My wife and I both previously had the galaxy s3 and the sdcard slots failed on both after a year or so (they could still write just not read). This caused a rom install to fail and rendered my phone basically useless. I was able to restore from a backup using the otg cable, but would have been hosed until I got one otherwise.
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
To Boot into recovery you have a few options :

With the phone off Power + Volume Down and hold until you see TWRP

Download Quick Boot from the Play Store to Boot into Recovery while the phone is on

If you have Xposed you can use G3TweakBox Module to Enable 4 - Way Reboot.
[Verizon LG G3] Ban-Hammer:
Hardware keys are a bit more tricky:

Hold Power + Vol- until the LG splash appears, release both, then hold Power + Vol- again and TWRP appears. Just holding both will result in a normal boot.
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
You know I've read that here, but for my phone if it's powered off, simply just holding Power + Volume Down gets me there. I do not have to release them and then and hit the combo again.

I did it a bunch of times so I'm certain of it. Who knows why it may be different for some.
[Verizon LG G3] Ban-Hammer:
I tried just holding, as well as holding one and not the other, none worked for me. Beats me.
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
You know that's my mistake.... With the phone powered off, I can still just continue to hold Power + Volume Down but that'll bring me to the Factory Reset screen.... Then obviously choose that and your in TWRP.

Sorry for the confusion [emoji16]

Don't meant to derail the thread, but how are some of you guys using the "Android L" on screen buttons?
[Verizon LG G3] joseph473:
Please humor me - a couple of questions

I have looked through this thread and read about flashify. I just want to make sure I am doing this correctly before I do anything. I have a rooted Verizon G3.

I put twrp-2.8.0.0_vs985-signed.img on my internal storage

I downloaded flashify and quick boot

I made sure my external card is Fat32 - it is.

-------

1. Now, do I just open flashify - find twrp-2.8.0.0_vs985-signed - and flash it?

2. After that if I use quick boot I can boot into twrp and make a nandroid backup wwhich can be restored through twrp?

TIA
[Verizon LG G3] AlpineM3:
So you rooted via Stump and checked you indeed had root with any Root Checker? If so Congrats on coming this far and a couple of more steps and you're home free.....

Once you've verified you are rooted, download Super User from the Play Store and install binaries. Make sure to uninstall Stump app at this point

Since you've already downloaded the correct TWRP img file open the flashify app make sure it has been granted SuperUser permissions. Soon after i'd highly recommend the #1 thing is make sure to back up the stock kernel and recovery image via Flashify in case anything were to happen! There's an option for back up in the app, click it!

Now you can click on Recovery Image in Flashify and look for the file you downloaded in your sdcard/download folder. Once prompted about making sure you want to flash the file, click "Yup". Let it do its thing and voila!

Let us know how it goes, cheers mate!
[Verizon LG G3] joseph473:

Im not at all as smart as you first off and as for as tech goes yo r a beast?you said this is a true unlock and that there is no other alternate method.only knowing the security keys (lg security keys?)is the only other way to unlock this bootloader?
[Verizon LG G3] aypeeootrek:
Just trying to understand the factory reset part of the stock recovery. After you go to factory reset, it then asks you to confirm doing so. Are you supposed to say yes to that and that will take you to twrp?

Also, when trying to reboot to recovery straight from flashify, I get a black screen with my blue and green led blinking. Can pull battery and boot into stock recovery no prob. Just wondering what the deal with that is. Thanks
[Verizon LG G3] dabug123:
Can u reboot
[Verizon LG G3] danetbra63:
CWM

So once more recoveries become available, could we flash them via Flashify? I'm really hesitant to use TWRP recovery for anything because I am so used to CWM. Hopefully someone can come up with something! thanks.
[Verizon LG G3] Ban-Hammer:
Probably not, as the TWRP recovery uses the proprietary bump system.

I would just flash TWRP. I used to use CWM until I got my RazrHD, and I tried TWRP, much easier, powerful, and all around better. Try it, if you don't like it just restore your stock recovery from a backup.
[Verizon LG G3] aypeeootrek:
I can. Battery pull works too.

Don't want to be a pain but can someone confirm that you need to go to factory reset in Stock recovery and confirm reset in order to access twrp? I've read a lot and it seems like that's the case but I want to be sure before I end up wiping my phone instead of going to twrp recovery
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Yes. If you've successfully installed the Bump'd TWRP, then the Factory Reset option is what gets you there.

If you're hesitant to do that, then grab quick Boot from play store and Boot into recovery from there, once you see TWRP you're good and you need not worry about that factory reset screen.
[Verizon LG G3] aypeeootrek:
I tried quick boot and getting the same issue I did with flashify and getting a black screen with my led blinking. Power +vol up takes me to stock recovery. I used flashify so I'm assuming the issue is there. I even tried it twice while checking the MD5 and I'm rooted. Next step I guess is to use the pc and try it that way. Thank you. Any other suggestions to trouble shoot now while I'm at work would be awesome.
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
And have you tried doing it from Terminal? The exact way it is listed in the OP. Just copy and paste those two commands one by one.
[Verizon LG G3] aypeeootrek:
Unable to get to a computer til night but going to try asap. Thank you for helping
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
That's the thing... You don't need a PC.

Go to the store and grab Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich. It allows you to paste right into it.

Just be sure to type SU then enter, then those commands one by one
[Verizon LG G3] aypeeootrek:
Oooo oooo oooo lol. Trying now haha
[Verizon LG G3] desantim:
I don't want/need to be "that guy" but is there any ETA for the release of the Bump tool to get some ROMs moving in our direction? I don't normally add to the crazy, but I haven't seen any real info regarding this, or I just missed it and was genuinely curious.

Thank you for all the hard work on this project, it's been a breath of fresh air getting a slimmed down, leaned up ROM on my phone. We pay far too much $ for these devices, and far too much $ to Verizon, not to have it "Our Way".

Thanks again!

I've also been curious but haven't asked. I figured it'd just be available when it's ready. http://codefi.re is still pretty bare but I take it that's where their bumping tool will be available.

Ok, so I did this and installed it on my stock Rooted G3 through TE on my phone. Rebooted into recovery via 4 way reboot but never got the message re: "Factory Data Reset"...it just went right into TWRP.

Is this something I should be worried about?
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
No. If you use Reboot to Recovery it'll go straight to TWRP.

You'll only see the factory reset screen when the phone is powered off and you use the key combo to get into Recovery.

[Verizon LG G3] chickoid:
This worked perfectly for me using flashify thank you!
[Verizon LG G3] genetrader:
Thanks again gentlemen...

This worked perfectly for me - though ADB was a little finicky to get working. Just a note the ADB installer does not automatically install the correct drivers for Verzion VS985 so I had to install those first - just a heads up to other lower level techies like myself. Then ADB ran perfectly and your instructions (and your .IMG file) ran flawlessly. I can only imagine all the noobish folks like myself biting their nails the first time they click on "FACTORY RESET"... My heart rate calmed down after I saw the TWRP logo. Brilliant work again guys.

One final question.... I assume updates via Verizon or Google are OK to install or no? I mean OTA updates... or would they try to patch this exploit in one of those? Thanks in advance for all of your help.

And [MENTION=4504526]w00tnezz[/MENTION], it also seemed like I initially had trouble with the whole "hold power button, let go, quickly repress" thing, however I got it the first time - what happened was the phone showed it's normal LG screen, then I did the quick let go and repress of the power button, and then the phone continued into it's boot animation (which I didn't expect and thought was odd, but I kept holding both buttons). Then about halfway through the boot animation the phone acted like it completely shut off again, and then the screen powered back on from black and I was in the system recovery menu.

It sounds like maybe the way you did it and the way per the OP are just 2 different ways of accomplishing the same thing....but definitely good pointers on your experience!
