[G3 Original Android Development] tuffluck:
thank you! it's a bit confusing as an end-user to try to understand it all, especially moreso now that i realize it is all dev-speak anyway.

so just to ask a slightly off-tangent question, i need to make sure and not take any OTA with my g3 when i boot it up, right? basically need to root with purpledrake, bump and install twrp, make a backup of stock and then flash cm12/LP modem? i did get the d855. sorry if i'm a little off-topic.
[G3 Original Android Development] p70shooter:
No worries and I don't understand half of it either.

Yep no ota, then the process you mentioned and you will be good to go. Happy flashing :)
[G3 Original Android Development] tuffluck:
Thanks again. One more question about the dev and rip bump thing, but will this version of bump work with future roms built on the next android platform (ie whatever is after LP), or will a new bootloader bypass need to be configured? I ask because basically a similar deal happened on Samsung devices where it seems most devs gave up on safestrap after Kitkat, and safestrap was kind of the Sammy version of bump/twrp.
[G3 Original Android Development] p70shooter:
Bump will work as long as you don't update the official firmware, so it will go on indefinitely. Just don't update and as long as we got devs a deving we will be ok.
[G3 Original Android Development] bweN diorD:
I can't believe a dev made a ROM that's not rooted. Check in settings, possibly developer options, its likely turned off for some reason. I have seen this happen before occasionally.

Thanks a lot! I flashed the image using Flashify, available in Google Play. No need for a computer. Just select the image file and you're done.

version for tmobile of bump

Is there no version for d851 tmobile??
[G3 Original Android Development] p70shooter:
Yes there is a tmobile version, go to the tmobile forum and its there.
[G3 Original Android Development] crzygrmn:
There is no T-Mobile version of bump twrp recovery

You can install any recovery in T-Mobile forum since your phone doesnt have a locked bootloader
[G3 Original Android Development] Delgadovsky:
Well, i've love to flash different roms on my old S3 and now i think i'm ready to flash in my G3 . but let me see if i understand. I was reading previous pages but i'm not an expert in english. My G3 have root

1-To install 5.0 roms well have to do the Bump step and then can use flashify to flash roms from the phone without computer or flashify is enough to flash a recovery and roms? Is there other way?

2-flashing 5.0 roms or just update my phone to 5.0, i can use normal flashtool and kdz to come back to 4.4?

Thank you... Happy year to all
[G3 Original Android Development] DE52:
Bump will install TWRP recovery 2.8.0.0, then you can flash ROMs, make backups, etc via TWRP. The only reason flashify was mentioned is because to use bump, you usually have to enter commands into the terminal emulator or through your PC(adb) when the phone is connected to install the recovery, but instead flashify can do it for you (as in install the recovery) without a PC or you entering commands. You can also use flashify to install newer versions of TWRP or you simply flash the newer versions through recovery like usual. The only remark I have to make is that flashify uses .img files, not .zip.

1. As for Lollipop, you install through TWRP. You also need to install the lollipop baseband which has to do with getting proper signal and not having dropped signal all the time. You may want to update to the latest TWRP (2.8.3.0) because Lollipop uses encryption, so the new TWRP is designed to be used with this encryption. It also contains some bug fixes.

2. Yes, you should be able to flash back to kit kat with a kdz and the flash tool, but make sure you flash the kit kat baseband also (I'm pretty sure it is required)

Hope this helps and happy new year
[G3 Original Android Development] Delgadovsky:
Thanks

I just istall flashify and flash twrp recovery in the app options but dont flash any bump file. Anyway, i have twrp 2.8.0.0 and was able to flash androidNow 8.0 rom and all seems to be ok. So, to flash others roms that say bump i need to flash the bump file for my device? Or isnt necessary and now i can flash anything? Thanks a lot for the big help
[G3 Original Android Development] DE52:
No, you're able to install everything that says "bumped". "Bump" is actually built-in to the TWRP you installed (Should've mentioned that, my bad) . "Bump" is the name they gave to the hack, and things that say "bumped" have a signature (something the phone checks for in certain types of files before installing them i.e. TWRP recovery or ROMs) which permits us to install things even though the bootloader is still technically locked. So with this signature, we essentially bypass the bootloader by tricking it into thinking what we're installing is ok (simple way to explain the concept). So basically, TWRP is "bumped" as well. That's why you were able to install it.
[G3 Original Android Development] Delgadovsky:
Ok. Great help. With simple words i finally understand. So, with flashify is all much simple and is not necessary the command lines... Just the app. Thanks again :highfive:

I'm running a lollipop rom on my vs985....can i still do this? Do i need to go into mtp mode? Thanks
[G3 Original Android Development] Nuginuk:
sorry to bother...

quick question..

im still on 4.4.2 stock with root and xposed installed, do i need to go back to stock (unroot/uninstall xposed)? or should i just bumped straight away?

thanks guys
[G3 Original Android Development] DE52:
No, you don't need to unroot or remove xposed and plus you need root to do this anyway (as in install the bumped TWRP).
[G3 Original Android Development] gtrgonchi:
I'm using stock lollipop rom, can i use this method to install lollipop bumped and rooted ROMs?
[G3 Original Android Development] heirfister:
I flashed lollipop from this site http://lg-firmware-rom.com/ do i still need to flash baseband for Lollipop, and if i go back to Kitkat i also have to flash back to kitkat baseband?
[G3 Original Android Development] DE52:
I'm not sure if you need to flash the baseband when installing stock lollipop. You're going to have to ask around to get a proper answer as I don't have lollipop (stock nor ROMs at this time). You could also just pay attention to if your phone drops network signal a lot, has issues with data, etc and flash it if necessary. As for going back to kit kat, I'd suggest you do since lollipop and kit kat are different and it'll probably be more likely that you encounter issues.
[G3 Original Android Development] teddy0209:
Using stock kdz, no need... It's just needed when you manually update using twrp/custom recovery... I hope it was clear enough... =)

[G3 Original Android Development] relevant_placeholder:

[G3 Original Android Development] SyCoREAPER:
Thanks

**edit** - Not seeing multi-rom or modem backup support in 2.8.0.0. but have it modem backup in build 2.8.4.0. Do not have Multi-Rom in either. Where would this be? Forgive my ignorance, I come from Safestrap and am not all that familiar with TWRP

Hmmmmm I used http://xdaforums.com/verizon-lg-g3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966014 which uses 2.8.4.0. Maybe I will have to try this version even though its an older build.
[G3 Original Android Development] teddy0209:
That version by 777jon has the proper modem backup... The one with multirom support is in the multirom thread by skin1980 in android development (that is if you want to use multirom)...

V10o update

Hello. I sent my LG G3 D855 for repairs about a month ago. I was on V10J i think and now I got it back V10i. Anyway, i got an update for V10o which is good because I don't want lollipop. At least not yet since it has a couple of faults i don't like.

So back to the question. If I were to update to V10o will I be able to root and to bump? Or should I just stick to v10h? I do believe that v10o can be rooted with purple drake only and not stump. What about bump?

I tried looking online but v10o isn't really popular so I couldn't find hard evidence about anything.

Thanks in advance.
[G3 Original Android Development] p70shooter:
If you can root then you can bump. I would just root it straight away but that's just me. Depends what your going to run on your phone really.
[G3 Original Android Development] krusion:
Thought I'd just get the latest update. Maybe a fix somewhere for any problems that I didn't know existed :D... Better battery or faster response.
[G3 Original Android Development] Svartsyn333:
Thank you for this awesomely easy method. I'm new to LG phones (but not at all to root etc.) and I got this to work real quick. I used the commands 2-4 from a terminal app on the phone after I failed on adb with an "permission denied error" (as always, I hate that! Happend with my S3 all the time^^).
[G3 Original Android Development] teddy0209:
Maybe you forgot to grant adb the root access it needed mate....

Anyway, you should update to a more updated TWRP, 777jon's recommended...
[G3 Original Android Development] Svartsyn333:
I already downloaded it. Will look deeper into mods etc today. I unpacked the phone literally less than three hours ago when I made this post. Yes, I'm addicted to Root, XDA and flashing in general. :D
[G3 Original Android Development] Tiggarenstal:
Please somebody help me out here. Just bought the LG G3. Want to root it and flash some ROMs. Been reading all about stump, towelroot and everything else. But my firmware etc does not support any of those. What can I do?

[G3 Original Android Development] ad astra:
hi ppl, i just wanted to know if the twrp images used by flashify (the app), are also bumped.

i know, i was a lazy and used the download prompt built in that app instead downloading directly from source (shame on me).

all this for being lazy and following some flashing guide instead of doing some proper homework.

mind u that im new to the g3, and have been getting pampered (way too much) with my factory unlockable galaxy nexus.

btw, any hard read material on the way this phone rooting, bootloader unlocking methods work? i dont need a tutorial, just facts about how things work with this phone, from bootloader up.

many, many thanks in advance!

[G3 Original Android Development] topet2k12001:
Hi Friends,

I came from the Nexus line of products. I was looking for a dual-SIM phone and the best option, from available choices in the market, for me is the LG G3. I'm relatively new to the LG G3 and I have the D858HK variant. This link, http://apps.codefi.re/bump/, doesn't allow for bumping anymore, as I have read through this thread. So, after searching, I used the other version (the one that allows you to "bump" via a Windows Batch file) from this thread (click me!) as it looks like this is the only method left to do it (I am not a developer, I'm just good in following written instructions). My intent is to only have my copy of TWRP 2.8.4.0 for D857/D858/D858HK to be "bumped".

I am sharing the "bumped" version of TWRP 2.8.4.0 for D857/D858/D858HK with the intent of helping others (there is little support for this variant; no choice): click me!

I acquired a copy of the original/pre-"bumped" TWRP 2.8.4.0 for D857/D858/D858HK from this Chinese forum thread: click me!

[G3 Original Android Development] leomd333:
Because these recoveries are based off the KitKat img(s). They will not work with the stock lollipop ROM. If you want recovery and stock with root you will need to downgrade to KK, root, install a bumped TWRP and flash a stock Rooted ROM. (20i is already uploaded on here somewhere).

[G3 Original Android Development] thETImo:
So is there a way to check if the TWRP is there after the adb-commands other than to trying to boot into it? Considering if there is a chance to get the phone erased if it is not there. TWRP Manager doesn't seem to find it...

Or doesn't it just work on Lollipop?
[G3 Original Android Development] DE52:
Nope, only way is to boot to it. If anything, just do -----> adb reboot recovery or ----> reboot recovery if using terminal emulator and you'll boot straight to it instead of going through the manual way which exposes you to the factory reset screen when you're unsure of the installations success.

If you used the wrong files or messed up something in your installation process, you may get a secure boot error or something of the sort (will be written in top left corner of screen then screen will go black after) with the LED notification light flashing red and blue. Don't panic if this happens. Your phone isn't "bricked" (aka it became a paperweight). It just simply means you installed something that isn't appropriate. Also, if this happens, you can simple pull the battery. Then, try and boot up normally (sometimes, the phone will boot to android OS even though the installation failed).

So that way we can install twrp without downgrading right?

Can anyone tell me what can go wrong when rooting and installing custom recovery? Anything I can do wrong that leads to unrepairable bricks?
[G3 Original Android Development] DE52:
Only thing I've seen reported in that thread is the phone being unresponsive if the files are not transformed into an .img when you rename them (you would know because the file would have a CD icon in windows and also say IMG file under file info). If you make this mistake and attempt to install those files, people have reported their phone not booting or simply being recognized as "qualcomm-blablabla" when plugged in in an attempt to save it. Otherwise, all other situations seem to be recoverable whether it is by LG flash tool, or reflashing the partition that didn't install correctly (whether it is your recovery, download mode, bootloader, etc). Like the OP in that thread has told people, read through his instructions carefully. It may seem long, but it is long for a reason (there are warnings and such included everywhere to avoid all possible slip ups).

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

You most likely just skipped a step somewhere. You can still get recovery working if you have the patience to restart. Several people seem to have succeeded including me (although I used the kit kat approach). It's up to you if you want to try again or just stick with root for now.
