Hi, i don't get one thing i have lg g3 d855 and im on stock kitkat with stock recovery but rooted, do i need first to flash an earlier bumped version and then update twrp to latest one or i can flash directly the latest 3.0.0 version? thanks in advance.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
You can flash the latest one directly - all of g2/g3 images are bumped since it wouldn´t work so you´re safe. Even if something goes wrong your system will be operative
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidz4u:
Once that u flash the bumped TWRP, do you loose the stock recovery ?

Also how do you access the twrp recovery ? Is it by hitting the Vol Down key when the phone is booting and led blinks ? Or is there some other way ?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meyerweb:
1. Yes, I believe so.

2. The same way you access the stock recovery. Or by using an app like Tweaksbox which adds recovery to the reboot menu.

How do you do this?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tissot:
Easiest way to flash recovery is to install flashify via play store. From there just install recovery.

But in flashify you can backup the stock recovery first.

Install some quick boot app and shoose reboot to recovery.. Done

Flashifly steps

Steps:

download correct IMG file ; open flashifly ;Recovery Image>choose a file> download ; flash recovery ? yup

Then it will reboot into Recovery :good:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oddeceed:
power off phone and make sure its not connected to any usb then hold power and volume down

once you see the LG logo release and then press and hold the power button again

it comes up about factory restore but if you have bump installed correctly then select yes then yes again and you should get into TWRP recovery .... if you factory restore your phone then you didnt install bump correctly ..

alternatively there is an ADB command which i cannot remember

or you can use a reboot to recovery app both of these methods would be safer if you have any concerns about bump installing

i knew that i didnt really have any data that i couldnt get back on my device so i went through the factory restore way but like said if you are worried then use an app that allows you to reboot to recovery or use the ADB command

I used Flashify, and it reboots directly into TWRP. No need to worry about those nerve-inducing warnings that you're going to lose all your data.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
Flashify has also backing up of kernel/recovery :). Or reverse the procedure described in first post so it dd's to a file on /sdcard

No Im not bricked right now. But I did two times before. Both during editing of build.prop and something else.

How-to install Bumped! TWRP using flashify

Hello,

Question about How-to install Bumped! TWRP using flashify

(regarding thread "Bump! Works Around the LG G3 Locked Bootloader")

1) Install "Flashify (for root users) by Christian Göllner" found on the Play Store

2) Use Flashify to backup the current recovery (the original one)

3) Copy the proper .img (according to your LG G3 model) to the root of the device's internal SD

4) Flash the .img from "Flashify " choosing "Recovery Image"

Am I right? Note: Yes, I've read all the thread, including this QA thread. I think this is more like a summary of what have already been said than a real question. I'm 99% sure these steps are right.

Thanks

A noob.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Some of you might think this is obvious but it is easily overlooked. If you flash a kdz it will remove bump and put the stock recovery back which means if you used the key combo to boot to recovery it will wipe your device!

[MENTION=247870]sub69[/MENTION]

continuing the sharpening discussion in this thread.

I believe it is a mix of problems, part hardware part software. I believe LG realised that some of the hardware was not 100% so created the kernel in such a way to try to reduce the issues. I believe it is linked to brightness, the 'good' panels appear to go a lot brighter than the 'bad' panels. Like I said mine shows no problems unless I use an app like Lux to go to sub-zero brightness levels, but my phone goes a lot brighter than any other G3 I have seen with my own eyes (all of which also show the problem).

so a kernel modification might help make the issue better but I don't think it will ever solve it 100% for those that have the issue as it is in my view at least, in part down to the hardware.

Ok guys I have a question ... Does it make sense to wait before you write a guide for developers or not? Writing instruction certainly does not take so long and I slowly begin to think that we're lying and no "bump" is not. Either it works or it does not work. More options is not.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisM75:
Nice theory, but doesn't hold up. My panel is very bright, good colours, good blacks, terrible sharpening at all brightness levels.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spizzo03:
Okay first let's teach you some manners. The devs who just released Bump do this on their OWN FREE TIME. They are not obligated to do anything for you or anyone else for that matter.

Second, have some patience. It was released slightly less than two weeks ago and honestly you've lived with your LG G3 for this long already without any custom roms....so I'm sure you'll live for another few weeks.

Third....last time I checked, you or I or anyone else asking for ETA's don't have the knowledge or skills to come up with the Bump method....so again let the great devs do their thing and make sure the process works and is error free before releasing. The issue with stuff that's free is that people seem to think they are obligated to be supported. Let's say they released now and it still had some bugs....I'm sure the next posts would be something like "OMG Bump bricked my device...HELP!!!!", so calm down, have a beer and relax.

Oh and one last thing....apologize to the devs for implying that they would lie to you for giving you something for FREE!!!!!!

This is my second install of Bump. I've recently re-rooted and re-bumped after running into some issues using compression with a backup. I'm new to LG, coming from HTC and Nexus, so I didn't know that compression didn't play well with LG. Anyway, after using flashtool, I'm back. Here's my question, I just made my first backup on this second install. I noticed it was much, much faster this time than the original. What should the average stock backup time be? This one was 128 seconds. The first time I backed up stock, on my first bump install, it took several minutes. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hey guys,

I have too basic questions which I'm sure you can answer me with ease. I'm kinda new to all this stuff so please don't flame me to hell. I always use XDA search and Google before asking but I just don't find clear answers to that.

So first things first.

I have a D855 16gb with t-mobile branding (germany) on firmware V10c. This seems to be the latest one for my branding. I stumped and bumped my phone recently with great success, thanks to good instructions from all you guys and devs.

Now the questions I just can't find clear answers to are the following:

Can I flash other firmwares like V10l for example, even tho my phone is branded (but bumped)?

The latest firmware for my IMEI according to LG is V10c...

The second thing I can't figure out is:

Do I need to flash a specific firmware (compatible to the custom rom) before I flash a custom Rom?

Yes I have read the instruction of many roms and almost the full thread of AndroidNow, but there are a couple of contradictory posts so I want to be very sure on that.

Maybe someone can help a beginner on those two things. I'm really trying to figure most things out on my own.

Thanks guys. ;)

You can save this as "/sdcard/recovery.sh" and run with "sh recovery.sh":

This will make a backup of your stock recovery and install TWRP recovery.

Remember to put the recovery.img in the same folder.
