THat's what was confusing -- I'm good w/o doing those commands. Based on earlier responses, these commands and Flashify do the same thing, so you install TWRP via Flashify or you can manually do it with the commands above. Correct?
[G3 Original Android Development] Rudolpht:
In my experience you need to do both.

Commands prep the battlefield. Flashify wins the war.

1, 2 punch.

Commands then flashify. I have tried Deadly Venom and PowerUser ROMs. Both are great (PowerUser has a better look (subjective) though Deadly Venom saves me more battery). Good to have choices thanks to great devs.
[G3 Original Android Development] p70shooter:
You only need to do one or the other. If the commands didn't work it's because you were doing it wrong some how. Flashify is the easy way of doing it because it's idiot proof but using the commands at least you learn something on the way.
[G3 Original Android Development] Rudolpht:
Thank you for the clarification. Very appreciated. I learned something even more today!
[G3 Original Android Development] cyberbandit1998:
I do not have a LG G3. I have the Samsung Note 3 and this method has intrigued me. Could this possibly work for the ATT Note 3. I am willing to test and there is nice bounty if you can get custom Recovery installed. Yes we have safestrap but it is very limited to what we can do. I am looking for the abilty to flash kernel and load Aroma Roms.
[G3 Original Android Development] Awestrike:
I've been looking around for the past hour or so but can't find anything about this, so I'm sorry if it's been asked before.

I tried rooting using Stump first but got a message saying my device is patched, so I tried rooting with PurpleDrake instead. PurpleDrake worked and I'm all rooted now.

My question is: Can I still flash this recovery image? PurpleDrake (since it was supposed to flash TWRP in addition to rooting my device) did give me a message saying that there aren't any TWRP versions compatible with my device currently, which is what's giving me pause now. I also checked the G3 compatibility matrix and it does say I can use Bump but that same matrix said I could use Stump to root, too.

EDIT:

Never mind, I'm an idiot. I had V10L, not V10I. All good now. Thanks for the hard work!
[G3 Original Android Development] bankanidhi:
can it be reversed?

After bumping can it reveresed to stock. Just wondering if someone want to go back. Thanks in advance.
[G3 Original Android Development] bunchies:
You could bump than make a nandroid of your stock ROM than be able to restore it anytime in the bumped twrp recovery or just flash a stock based ROM if available

One thing you do not want to do is flash a custom ROM than put stock recovery back, you will be forced to TOT
[G3 Original Android Development] lildjey:
And for D838 or F350 ??
[G3 Original Android Development] teddy0209:
no more bumping from the team...
[G3 Original Android Development] asacado:
This has alot of us worried what the future for LG phones, specifically the G3, will be.
[G3 Original Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
I don't think a lot has changed. It's not that the Bump method was unknown by LG anyway.

And I personally don't believe that the Bump team had negotiations with LG and was (for now) allowed to do this stuff, but that's just me.
[G3 Original Android Development] Zakofei:
+1 My thoughts are the same
[G3 Original Android Development] OhMrBigshot:
How can I revert just the recovery back to stock? I wanna ota and I can't with twrp. Any method that doesn't require me to have a windows PC?
[G3 Original Android Development] Cuzz1369:
Find a copy of your stock recovery(you should've made a back up yourself before flashing twrp but.....) And then use flashify to flash it.
[G3 Original Android Development] OhMrBigshot:
They are nowhere to be found in .img files, always kdz... ):
[G3 Original Android Development] bayuadhi069:
Ofcourse, but now that the code is "out there" some nasty people with nasty intention might have their way with your devices, that in it self is more reason to get it patched.

If you dont realize yet, most root, custom recoveries, and bump are codefire team's releases.

And if they're pulling the plug...well...
[G3 Original Android Development] Trident:
I'd like some feedback on what I did that seems to have worked, but I haven't flashed a rom yet.

I was able to root with Stump and then installed SuperSU. But instead of doing all the adb stuff, I installed Flashify and then flashed the Bumped TWRP recovery. Verified that I have a working recovery.

Am I good to flash any rom now?
[G3 Original Android Development] skiiermike:
Make sure you make a backup in twrp so you have a fail safe. Once that is done you will need a working Rom built for your model as well as the appropriate gapps.
[G3 Original Android Development] Trident:
Backup is the first thing I did once I had TWRP installed. I probably should have done one with TB before I installed TWRP, as I was just reading a post about how to upgrade to ZV6 and it indicated that it needed to be done with the stock recovery. I just got the phone on Monday, so I have no issues with just doing a TOT back to stock if I need to. I also just downloaded stock ZV6 and the BarRin ROM. So ZV6 is obviously not an issue.

I guess I'm wondering what I'm going to have to do when L come out?

And to my original question: Did what I do accomplish the same thing as doing it as described in the OP with ADB?
[G3 Original Android Development] skiiermike:
I missed that part. Lol. Yes it is exactly the same end product.
[G3 Original Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
As in how? "Hey look at this, I have a nice game for you, you only have to flash it in recovery, but trust me, it's great!"?

I assume people do know what they're flashing in recovery. If they don't (which a lot of people will surely do), then you're SOL. Ony issue is that LG will get a bricked phone back to fix, possibly. So in thát regard I do understand why they would not think this is a great plot twist. For the user: only the better, imho.
[G3 Original Android Development] JoaoVr:
Should I use this 2.8.0.0 version or get a new one and bump it?
[G3 Original Android Development] OhMrBigshot:
So... Does anyone have the stock recovery backup for F400? ): I'm desperate. Can't find it anywhere
[G3 Original Android Development] two_handed:
Is that even possible?

[G3 Original Android Development] m1trand1r:
Can't you flash Stock firmware ?
[G3 Original Android Development] JoaoVr:
Sorry... Here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/262 it says there is a 2.8.1.0 but no download link to be found.
[G3 Original Android Development] OhMrBigshot:
I'd like to refrain from wiping my device, I also have a Mac and .kdz files need to be flashed with LG Flash Tool (unless you know what bash commands/adb/fastboot commands do that, because if you do please lmk)
[G3 Original Android Development] teddy0209:
If you have the kdz, you can extract it from there... If you don't know how, look for the thread of autoprime @ android development section...
[G3 Original Android Development] Truepeace:
I may have the noobiest questions but I am new to this unlocking thing, please help, can I buy now a LG G3 with ATT contract for 0.01$ and then ship it to my country, unlock it using this tutorial and use it with my country's carrier???? Isn't it a contract so if I break it they'll pursue my brother if he bought it for me?
[G3 Original Android Development] DE52:
Bump doesn't allow you to unlock the phone for different types of carriers, that's a different type of unlock. This technique unlocks the bootloader meaning it allows you to load custom software. Loading custom software and unlocking your phone to use it on a another carrier isn't the same thing. Also, if you don't cancel the contract, your brother will still owe them the monthly payments as it is a contract, and if you want to cancel it, you'll have to pay the cancellation fees plus paying off the value of the phone. So you'll be saving little to no money by importing the phone if I understood you clearly.

P.S. it'll probably be better to ask in the Q&A section of the G3 threads if you need more info and at the same time this isn't the proper place to ask about this for the reasons explained above. Also, I don't live in the United States, so I don't know all the policies of the carriers down there(meaning I don't know if there's any info missing from what I said)
[G3 Original Android Development] Truepeace:
Okaay I get it now, I didn't read carefully to know that it was for unlocking the bootloader. And thanks for the additional info regarding the unlocking of the carrier, so I'll just buy the G3 as an unlocked phone like I was planning, thanks again :)
[G3 Original Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Bootloader is still locked.
[G3 Original Android Development] DE52:
Lol I know, I just said unlocked because he said he's new to this, so didn't go into detail about the fact it's only bypassed, etc.
[G3 Original Android Development] lexman098:
You can't bypass it unless you fastboot from a pc.
[G3 Original Android Development] DE52:
*facepalm* Was it even necessary to add this...you should of just left the conversation as is. I didn't ask for an explanation, but anyway thanks *thumbs up*
[G3 Original Android Development] lexman098:
It was a joke. Lighten up.
[G3 Original Android Development] chuyennho184:

[G3 Original Android Development] brockyneo:
Hi guys can we somehow update twrp to the latest version or are we stuck on the one we have till a never version is bumped

Thanks
[G3 Original Android Development] fixsss:
So, there's no solution for 460s. And as i understand there's no hope to get bump on it?
[G3 Original Android Development] teddy0209:
Team codefire it not around anymore, so no chance... Don't know if they're still on irc...

Anyway, did you try the available recovery images?, one might work...
[G3 Original Android Development] fixsss:
So scary to flash anything that doesn't work at f460. BUt maybe you're right and there is a solution. At the next weekend try to flash all eight bumps)
[G3 Original Android Development] teddy0209:
Before you do so, just make sure you have all necessary files, stock kdz, drivers, flashtool etc. to restore your device...

You're good to go when you've cleared all doubts in your head... =)
[G3 Original Android Development] xathanatosx:

[G3 Original Android Development] gioyann:
Hi guys, I downloaded the TWRP for my d855 from the site on first page (http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lg_g3/bump/), but the file I downloaded are only 8.5 kb instead of the declared 13.9 Mb.

Furthermore, after flashed the TWRP by ADB as I try to reboot in recovery I'm stuck on a black screen with a tiny message similar like this:

[640 boot mode start]

(sorry I don't remember the exact message)

Then the only thing I can do is to pull out battery and reboot the phone.

Rom manager says that I have a TWRP custom recovery...

What is my mistake?
[G3 Original Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
You did try to flash it, even though it was only 8.5KB or am I misunderstanding?
[G3 Original Android Development] gioyann:
You understand right!

If I try to boot in recovery my phone will stuck on a black screen with an error message. Pulling the battery and turning it on just pressing power my phone boot normally.
[G3 Original Android Development] p70shooter:
Download it again making sure it's the right size and then reflash it.
[G3 Original Android Development] Itzik68:
You didn't really get my question right...

Let me rephrase:

If my device is currently running the ROM from that link and I don't have bump & bumped TWRP installed, will the CMD commands that install bump work for the AOSP based ROM like it works for the stock ROM?
[G3 Original Android Development] gioyann:
So weird! Now the download is ok, right size! While this afternoon all files were around 9 kb!

I'm on TWRP, thanx!
[G3 Original Android Development] p70shooter:
No worries, happy flashing :)

Should do or you could always use flashify to flash it.
[G3 Original Android Development] rhisendark:
I am receiving secure booting error on recovery screen. phone works normally but no recovery :(
[G3 Original Android Development] Itzik68:
Bump! keep's vanishing...

Every time I reboot my device gone is the TWRP and I need to do it all over again!

And I mean EVERYTHING! the whole process of connecting my device to my PC, executing the adb shell commands and so forth...

As you might guess it's VERY frustrating... Any and all ideas would be welcomed and VERY appreciated!
[G3 Original Android Development] teddy0209:
easiest way is to use flashify... a mere reboot won't make the recovery disappear if it was installed properly....
[G3 Original Android Development] Itzik68:
I would have agreed that I may have made a mistake somewhere during the process, but I'm not new on android, PCs or any kind of tech for that matter...

I've tried several time to find on this guide if there's something I'm doing wrong and believe me when I tell you: I'm doing it right!

The mere fact that you haven't encountered this issue doesn't necessarily says I'm not flashing it right, so please i ask again:

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

BTW I believe it to be related to the fact that I've flashed a stock 10K KDZ file using LG Flash Tool 2014. Before, I was running a different stock version (witch I don't remember) and I didn't have this issue, can anyone confirm?
[G3 Original Android Development] Sideness:
Hi everyone !

I'm using Stock V20D. Do you think this will work ?

I had root access on V20A becaused I flashed a zip file on TWRP from a rooted version of KitKat but now that I flashed with LG Flash Tool the V20D version, I lost root access and TWRP Recovery... :/
[G3 Original Android Development] teddy0209:
So are you using 10k now? Is it rooted? If yes then redownload the recovery img and flash again... No need for a pc... Use terminal emulator or flashify...
[G3 Original Android Development] switchgott:
Hi,

is it possible to use it with lollipop bootloader?

Or only with kitkat?

Thanks
[G3 Original Android Development] teddy0209:
No it's not possible or so I've read...
[G3 Original Android Development] sabret00the:
Why did you do that? You won't even be able to get bumped.
[G3 Original Android Development] tommy1971:
Will there be a version for Cat6 aka F460?[emoji52]
[G3 Original Android Development] Sideness:
Well I could always go back to KitKat, root the device, install TWRP once again, etc... and then flash back to Lollipop. But I have to admit that my lack of motivation is the reason why I don't do it. I don't develop anything right now so I only use root access to install adaway, and this type of apps :P

I wanted to flash V20D because my V20A was quite unstable so the G3 had a lot of bugs. V20D is great and stable ;)

I think I'll wait for another solution :)
[G3 Original Android Development] teddy0209:
Go back to kitkat root install bump recovery then flash a 20d rom like chupa chups, knvirus or android hd...
[G3 Original Android Development] Sideness:
As a matter of fact, I just did !

Went back to V10L, PurpleDraked, Bumped, TWRP, ChupaChups V20D ! :) It feels nice :D

History of modding my phone (roughly, I don't remember exactly)

Bought it with stock (don't remember witch stock)

Official OTA updated it once or two (not sure if once or twice and witch stocks)

Root (http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906)

(I always take my time before rooting a new device, I try to give stock experience a long chance as possible...)

Xposed it

Then found out about BUMP!, and BUMP! I did...

Up to this point BUMP! doesn't make any problems at all, TWRP is always where it should be!

Then accidentally (really, an accident of pushing the wrong button) initiated an official OTA update witch led me to: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/fix-stuck-custom-recovery-trying-ota-t2907508

I don't know if the problem began after that or at later point because I didn't try accessing TWRP at that time so can't really tell...

I needed to claim my device warranty (for a hardware issue with my screen) so I used LG Flash Tool 2014 and flashed a stock 10K official KDZ and stayed with stock (full stock, no root no nothing) for about a week or two

Then I finally cracked again and rooted (http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/root-root-lg-g3-easily-purpledrake-lite-t2821000) and Xposed it

After that I BUMP!ed it again and this is when TWRP decided that he will disappear from my device every time I reboot (believe me that at this point I followed the BUMP! install guide several times to make sure I didn't miss anything and I didn't! )

Two or three weeks later I flashed http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-t2945191 and stayed with it for a week (battery life is just terrible!)

Since then I'm running http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/rom-firmware-stock-twpr-t2922279 rooted and Xposed waiting for for a miracle (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57332615&postcount=3510) so that I could move to 20(A/B/C/D/etc...)

That's about it...

Like I said before any and all Ideas are welcome... (tried flashify, doesn't work)
[G3 Original Android Development] p70shooter:
No idea really what the problem is with your phone but if you flash your original kdz for your phone that would take it back to stock and wipe everything. Then start again from there, that should sort it. Someone else might suggest something better but if not you can try my way.
[G3 Original Android Development] sean222:
Is there a guide to BUMPing images somewhere? I don't know if I'm going blind and can't see it :P

Never seen this before. Will I loose root? WiFi won't turn on all of a sudden.. Darnedest thing...
[G3 Original Android Development] DE52:
If you're on a stock based ROM, it's possible to get OTAs because the apks that check and download updates are still present (unless you already froze them or removed them or renamed them). If you're on stock ROM, but rooted (with or without TWRP), root doesn't actually prevent OTAs from being downloaded (because the apks are also still there). As for losing root, yes it's possible you will if the patches for the exploit (for root and/or bump) are included in the OTA, but if you want to install the OTA here's the thread with how to do it: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412 As for your wifi not working, not sure about that one unless maybe you tried installing, but something went wrong because you're rooted (I'm assuming). Anyway hope this helps :D

new to lg, just bought my g3 on amazon for $420 32gb model and it will be here on tuesday. i really want to run cm12 but in that cm12 thread they reference a "RIP Bump!" i read in earlier posts on this thread that no one was developing future versions of bump so i assume that is what "RIP Bump!" means.

so question is, with my new lg g3 will i be able to use bump! at all, and if i do, will i be able to flash the cm12 lollipop ROM? i am just a little confused about it all because the information seems slightly conflicting across multiple threads (ie if cm12 will work through bump!, why was RIP Bump! even mentioned in the cm12 thread...).

here is the RIP Bump i am referring to. can someone explain to me what this means for my g3?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56991448&postcount=8
[G3 Original Android Development] p70shooter:
It means nothing to you as a user, so don't worry. You can still root and install bump on your device. The rip bump regards signing boot.img with bump but that is done by the rom devs and not a concern of us the user. So yes you will be able to install cm12.
