How can i find the twrp img file for my lg g3 beat
[Verizon LG G3] reliant_turbo:
can i downgrade back to 2.8.7.0 by flashing the img in 3.0.0.0?

i upgraded that way from 2.8.7.0 to 3.0.0.0.... NEVERMIND... i read on the non vzw g3 page that only the unofficial version doesnt support aroma, and i installed official version from twrp.

I also accidentally clicked "keep system read only" and now it doesnt give me the option again. i went into "mount" and dechecked the "keep system read only" checkbox. i think thats correct.

I've always had this issue but now it's getting old. Hopefully someone can help.

I cannot perform a nandroid backup. Fails every time.

I'm on 23C using TWRP v2.8.7.0

Error code I get in recovery:

E:createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255

[Verizon LG G3] meatpuppet007:
Quick question. Once I have 6.0 rooted. Can I use a stock backup to restore& unroot?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm not sure what you mean by "stock backup". The easiest way to return to 100% unrooted stock is to flash a KDZ with LG Flash Tool 2014, or a TOT. [MENTION=4795150]annoyingduck[/MENTION] 's stickied thread in the General section for instructions to flash a KDZ, and links to the files.
[Verizon LG G3] meatpuppet007:
Ok
[Verizon LG G3] DeviceWizardx:
the link is broken ... for the verizon variant
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If you're on 10B, 11C or 12B and already rooted (easiest to root on 10B using the Stump app), use TWRP Manager from the Play Store to flash the latest TWRP. The one in this OP is "old" anyway.

If you're on 23C or 24B and you're rooted, you can use the appropriate app from [MENTION=3279781]bender_007[/MENTION] 's thread in the non-Verizon LG G3 General section to install TWRP, then after that you can use TWRP Manager to update to the latest TWRP. There's a different app for 23C and for 24B, so get the right one, wait for it to request SuperUser permissions, grant the permissions, then wait the 15-30 seconds while it backs up your current recovery, then you can click install and it'll flash what's necessary. Then as I said, update to the most recent TWRP using TWRP Manager.

If you're on 35B or higher, use the 10B TOT method using the .DLL that's extracted from the 35B KDZ, then use the first method I mentioned above (Stump, etc).

Hello

Yesterday I purchased a used Verizon G3 VS985 and successfully rooted and installed bump'd TWRP 3.0.0 recovery, but was navigating through the android development section and only saw that Paranoid and Stock Skydragon ROMs mentioned bump. I searched up in here and came upon the quoted post and was wondering if it still applied or whether people did more to their g3s after bumping recovery.

Reply: "I can't say with absolute certainty, but I believe every ROM posted on xda for the vs985 is pre-bump'd. I've tried out almost every aosp Rom and several of the stock roms with no problem. I used stump to root and am currently on the bump'd twrp 2.8.2.0."

Can anyone guide me here? I installed Stock SkyDragon by HolyAngel, but would love to try other aosp and cm based ROMs like RR, Bliss, Orion.

Thanks

Can you tell me what verision the LG G3 was on when you purchased it? My mom has an LG G3 who I want to root, bump, and put CM on for her and I am in Arizona and she is in Indiana. So I am going to remote into her pc and do all the leg work, but don't want to brick her phone and not be there to fix it. I attached a pic of her current phone. Is it possible to do what you did?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Does her phone have a K after the model number written tiny underneath the battery? Like VS985WK and there are other examples. If so, you can't downgrade it. If not, then yes.

it is LG-VS985W

Have any of you successfully Restored your Nandroid yet?

I've been trying to install a couple Team Blackout apps ( Play Store & YouTube ) and although it's successfully flashing in TWRP they do not work once back in Android, Force Close city...

Under Mounts I've noticed you have to keep selecting " Mount System " and that setting doesn't stick between different flashes ( if you're not using the Add Another Zip Function ) so I'm curious if this is a bug, the way it's supposed to be, and I haven't ruled out the possibility that for some reason the Play Store and YouTube I'm trying to flash aren't compatible, even though technically they should be since they are for KitKat etc...

Maybe [MENTION=1157052]thecubed[/MENTION] or [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] could weigh in here if possible?

I'm hesitant to try and restore my Nandroid right now until this is cleared up... For me at least lol

TWRP can't see it - probably related to this: http://teamw.in/exFAT

Which means we need to reformat to fat32.

---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

I would make sure that you haven't recently updated the Play Store and YouTube apps first, as the zip(s) you have are designed to overwrite the apk's in the system folder. If you've updated those apps, I would uninstall all updates, then clear the cache and data for both, then flash those blacked out apps one more time to see if that helps...

Edit: I apologize for adding more to this thread seeing how it is for the "bootloader" specifically.....if there is anything else I have to say in an attempt to help someone I will try to do so through PM instead!
[Verizon LG G3] phobos512:
Practically speaking the advantage is being able to use TWRP. The existing format, exFAT or NTFS, don't really provide benefits on a phone. Most folks aren't working with multi-gigabyte databases or images on their phones. As we move toward more UHD/4K+ video though, it might become an issue as those can be over 4GB for movie length files.

I found this tool to format to fat32 based on some discussion on the Note forums:

http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Thanks my friend but I've also tried doing that. I've flashed a lot of TBO apps on my S4 and I know the tips and tricks to get them going.

I'd be interested to see if others are successful at flashing these or similar things.

I'm not saying it's our TWRP that's the problem.. As of right now I just am out of ideas.

Same "can't see" issue for a 128gb sd card. When I try to backup to external in TWRP, it sees the card, but says (0MB). Everything else was perfect. I'll get my donations out and wait for one of the guru's to come up with a fix.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can the solution be put in the OP? Walking the threads is brutal already b/c there are so many great ideas on how to deal with this issue.
[Verizon LG G3] krazy_smokezalot:
Ok. One last off topic. Say I format my 64gb into fat32. Will I have two 32gb partitions or one whole 64gb partition. And while I'm formatted in fat32 I can't have a file bigger 4th correct.
[Verizon LG G3] JCDinPGH:
I haven't tried it yet but I ran into a similar issue on one of my Android tablets. At some point exfat support was added into TWRP as it works perfectly on my Galaxy Tab Pro 12 with my 64gb card formatted as exfat and not fat32. I'm using exfat on both the Galaxy Tab and my LGG3 so I can play MKV movies larger than 4g without any conversions. I might have to copy everything off of my 128gb in the LGG3 and reformat to fat32 (http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/fat32format.htm works great) and copy everything back. It's a pain but definitely worth being able to do TWRP backups and restores to the external SD instead of internal.
[Verizon LG G3] phobos512:
The TWRP you use on your GTP12 may be modified as per TWRP's own website it doesn't support exFAT - that's where I got the info I posted earlier in the morning.

Has anyone with a 64 gb sd card been able to use it without reformatting to fat32? Looked in the ATT thread and no one seems to be saying there is a problem using a 64 gb card.

Bump TWRP

Can't decide if I should use LGFlashToolKit to put everything back to stock then do a factory reset and re-root and then bump our TWRP image.. I don't want to but wondering if this would help.. By starting with a clean phone from the beginning.. Does anybody know if this will matter or if I can just bump our TWRP img without starting from scratch.. I am rooted and ready to bump TWRP but just figured I could ask and see what other opinions are.. Are you starting from scratch or going to go bump straight from where you are, already rooted and modified phone system?

Thanks for the help and the hard work done by our devs!! Great job !!! :good:
[Verizon LG G3] lawtalking:
I just tried and the TWRP will not recognize my 64 gb exfat card. Says 0 mb for sd card.

I guess we wil have to wait for a modified twrp to use an exfat card.
[Verizon LG G3] TCPDump:
It does not boot loader unlock. Its a bypass to the standard recovery. Not to say it can't be integral in unlocking the BL.

[Verizon LG G3] Crooke356:
I tried both of these SD cards in the G3, S5 and M8. Work fine in all but the G3. I'm going to double check in the G+ community and see if any of those guys are on the VZW bumped TWRP. I have a feeling that may be the issue.. Unless I can find someone who is not having any issues on the VZW version and has NOT changed the stock format of the card.
[Verizon LG G3] thecubed:

Followed the instructions and it worked like a charm. Booted into recovery using Quick Reboot app and it works fine. When I researched this exact issue on my Galaxy Tab Pro, I wanted to make sure TWRP supported exfat. I know there are lots of posts saying it does not support it but I also found a post somewhere (still looking sorry) that said that exfat support was added into TWRP (as of v2 iirc). My guess is that it was done quietly because of licensing issues. If I can find that post, copy/paste it here.

[Verizon LG G3] burkett375:
you only need adb shell if you're doing it from a computer. That's the adb command used to be able to "take over" your phone with your computer and execute commands remotely. If you open terminal emulator, just type su, hit enter and go from there.
[Verizon LG G3] android-incredible:
got it now with terminal emulator..
[Verizon LG G3] tech_head:
Only way to reverse this is to flash back to stock.

A factory data reset does nothing be reset all parameters back to stock.

A reset does not unroot, because you have added files to give you root.

A reset does not remove custom recoveries because, you have replaced the stock recovery.

Flash back to stock to reverse.

OK so how about flashing apps or mods like say a blackout app? Does it need to be "bumped"? Kernels?

You'll have to excuse me, I'm no n00b, no expert by any means either, but I really have no clue about "Bump".

Apps and themes I will say no it does not need to be bumped only roms and kernel need to be bumped

[Verizon LG G3] Rodeojones:
I'm curious about this as well. Read through the entire thread and saw another user was having issues flashing TBO apps. Wondering if, like ROMs, apps or other mods we'd like to flash also need to be bumped first.
[Verizon LG G3] igloohed73:
Well I can't say yes or no. But I can tell you I just tried to flash 2 inverted apps from a good dev I've used many times & it didn't go so well. Now this could be any number of reasons so I guess it'll be trial & error for me.
[Verizon LG G3] danaff37:
Just curious... is the zeroing of the partition first doing anything? Or just a precaution?
