Has 2.8.1 been bump'd or whatever it's called now? And can I just flash it?

:confused:
[Verizon LG G3] zakkyzombie:
I never saw 2.8.1.0 on here, or there.

2.8.0.0 will flash lollipop, if that's why you're asking.

[Verizon LG G3] NegativeOne:
Does this work on the latest OTA? I just got my phone today and it started downloading the OTA as soon as activated, so I shut it off for now... If it's gonna block this root process then I don't want none o' that:)
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
You want to root at 10b, the original software. If you install any ota updates you would have to flash back to 10b to be able to root.

Once you get root, either freeze "System updates...", or rename the two LGDMSClient files in /system/app.
[Verizon LG G3] jcyoun33:
Just got TWRP working and was wondering, how many VZW roms are Bump'd? Don't really see any that have "signed" or "bump'd" in their file name. Can I just install any of them? Thanks for the reply and great work devs!
[Verizon LG G3] GrzlyAdms:
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.
[Verizon LG G3] jcyoun33:
I posted in the Q&A and got the same response. Thanks!

So what version software should i attempt this on. it has to be strictly 10b right?
[Verizon LG G3] bostonbassman78:
Right
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
Actually, not right.

As long as you have root, it can be flashed on any version. However, you can only initially achieve root on 10b.
[Verizon LG G3] notdeadyet01:
Thanks alot. Im receiving the phone tomorrow so i just want to try and get everything set up and working so that i just get it and flash lollipop as soon as possible
[Verizon LG G3] Gil81:
Thanks for the twrp...looks and works great so far.
[Verizon LG G3] bigmarv31:
If I buy a g3 with the 12B version can I still use this
[Verizon LG G3] bostonbassman78:
No you will need to revert back to 10b build then use stump to root then bump to unlock
[Verizon LG G3] bigmarv31:
But it can be done ,how do I revert is there a thread?
[Verizon LG G3] bostonbassman78:
Yes I'm 90% sure there is a thread I think it's a tot file or a kdz not sure as I didn't need to do it but I have read and seen ppl use these methods to revert back

Can I use this to flash a LP rom?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You can flash a Lollipop ROM with the latest TWRP, if that's what you're asking.
[Verizon LG G3] Juancho10:
Yeah that's it, thanks ✌
[Verizon LG G3] RRF12:
I am on latest stock 23B rooted with stock recovery, can I just flash twrp or do I need a bumped kernel first. Thanks
[Verizon LG G3] r3pwn:
You have to downgrade to 12B or lower, as the exploit that this uses does not work on Lollipop. Afterwards, you can root and flash a bumped twrp then get to installing bumped roms!
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You can download TWRP Manager from the Play Store and use it to download the latest version of TWRP recovery and it'll flash it for you when you grant it root permissions through SuperSU. It's already bump'd, I've checked it.

He's already rooted. He probably used the new root method that works on any version of LG Android on the G3 so far.
[Verizon LG G3] r3pwn:
I know, but "BUMP!" doesn't work on Lollipop's bootloader, Team Codefire confirmed it a while ago.

Nice!! Went from 12B to 10B, stump, bump!, done...
[Verizon LG G3] Casey Walt:
Can you share how you did this? I can't find solid instructions just bits and pieces.... I'm on 23b and don't want to downgrade if I dont have to
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
You need the 12b aboot and bumped 23b kernel to install this on L or you will get nothing but security errors pre boot.

There is absolutely no other way it will work.

The process has been simplified in the Jasmine Rom thread if you don't know how to replace those partitions.
[Verizon LG G3] RRF12:
thanks everyone I got it all working with twrp redid back to 10b an used jasmine, which works great.
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
be sure to also flash at least the first fix listed under the 5.0 update, or you will have no download mode, because of a kk partition incompatibility.

[Verizon LG G3] christianstudebaker:
Isn't there another method for unlocking the bootloader on the verizon variant? If so, how do I go about resetting the phone to stock so that I can install said custom recovery. I'm hesitant to use bump because I don't see a lot of roms that are bumped (Cyanognemod, AOKP, Paranoid Android). I bought a device from swappa and it comes with the bump'd twrp and I would like to be able to flash roms the general way using standard twrp. Can anyone provide me with links to cyanogenmods bump'd roms if available? Also, is the process the same as on other phones, wipe phone, flash rom, flash gapps, reboot?
[Verizon LG G3] DroidForLife33:
It works just like any other twrp. Just wipe and flash the interface is the exact same thing. All the roms that you can flash for this phone are already bumped and ready to go.

[Verizon LG G3] christianstudebaker:
Excellent, thank you! I was just worried that if I downloaded a nightly from the cyanogenmod website that it would not work.
[Verizon LG G3] phobos512:
"Bump" is just branding by the team that came up with the process. It's truly no different than any other device that's been unlocked to enable installation of custom recoveries and ROMs. Other phones might call it signing, or something else entirely. Here, it's called "bumping". I understand the team's original desire to market themselves but jeez the amount of confusion has just been astounding. And that it still persists now, many months after it was done...*facepalm*
[Verizon LG G3] cowboysgz:
I followed every step but whenI try to boot into recoery I get this (Fastboot mode started) message and the screen stays black. Anyone? I'm on stock lollipop D855 and yes, I did use twrp d855
[Verizon LG G3] xxxdc5:
I'm on 23A, and would also like to know how to replace the specific partitions so I can install twrp. Where in the Jasmine thread does it explain that? I can't seem to find it.

Thank's for your help:good:
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
the "DD" code needed to flash those partitions is in my reference post in general.

its really best to use the jasmine or skydragon method to upgrade w/twrp.
[Verizon LG G3] xxxdc5:
I literally feel retarded right now because I can't find what you're talking about hahah

I'm in this Jasmine thread, http://xdaforums.com/verizon-lg-g3/development/rom-jasminerom-v1-0-t2904641

I can only find installation instructions (for each version) starting from a point where the user already has twrp, not how to upgrade w/twrp. All of their installation instructions recommend using the Bump! method to attain twrp, but I can't because I'm already on 23A. Any help you can provide would be much appreciated. I feel like a crazy person going in circles lol

Thank you
[Verizon LG G3] bostonbassman78:
If I'm correct you are trying to get root I assume if that is the case u may need to revert back to 10 b to get root and then get twrp and you should be able to flash away after that you can revert back by using the tot file or kdz back and those should be in general section or Android development section I think
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
I purposely only told you where the dd code is and not how to use it. If not done correctly, or something doesn't flash right, you can easily end up with a brick because you zero out the partitions first.

The safest option is to go back to 12b, root and twrp, then use skydragon or jasmine to upgrade to the latest build.
[Verizon LG G3] xxxdc5:
I already have root. 23A not allowing me to flash twrp is the problem

Gaaahhhh yeah I didn't want to do all of that. I thought the replacing of the partitions was an alternative method that you were suggesting. Nevermind I guess :/
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
Ill tell you how to do it if you want, I just prefer to push the safest methods as much as possible.
[Verizon LG G3] xxxdc5:
That's ok, I see your point that the potential cost is greater than the potential reward. If something goes wrong it'll just be more of a headache. I'll probably just use the KDZ downgrade method to 12b then Bump twrp and install a ROM from there... when I have some time.

Thanks for your help though, I appreciate it :good:
[Verizon LG G3] rinnycoop121:
Is this compatible with Stock Lollipop 23C
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
bump is patched in lollipop. you have to use skydragon or jasmine from a kk build w/twrp.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
That's the easiest way in my opinion.
[Verizon LG G3] royredman:
Hi, I'm thinking of buying this phone and was wondering if bump (and root) is still supported on the latest Verizon update (lollipop)(23c (I think)). I would love to buy it, but don't want to take any risks of being stuck on stock for a slightly outdated phone. Any inputs would help. Thanks so much!
[Verizon LG G3] workdowg:
You'll need to tot back to 10B first. Then you can root.There is a thread for that in general.

From my Nexus 9 Rooted, Stock 5.1.1 - ElementalX-N9-2.0
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
L can be rooted, but you will need to go back to at least 12b to put twrp on and flash L roms.
[Verizon LG G3] royredman:
Is the process hard to go back to 12b?
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
There is return to stock kdz method thread in the general forum. I don't think it's too involved. Personally I never tried it, I always used the tot to 10b. No particular reason, just never had the need to flash to another build.
[Verizon LG G3] mulhiny:
I'm on 23c..used the one click to root and autorec from the play store to install twrp.

Is this not right? I'm rooted and able to flash Roms. What's the difference in the two methods?
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
i guess i overlooked the autorec post, if that changes the aboot, flashes bumped boot and installs twrp, then that would be the easiest option.

i was the first to post the method doing it manually, if someone made a script thats great for you all.

thanks for the heads up.
[Verizon LG G3] mulhiny:
No problem, thank you..I just got the G3 a few days ago. Ran a Google search to root and it lead me to that method. All seems good with it. After windows driver install, I was rooted with recovery in literally minutes.
[Verizon LG G3] royredman:
So, using this method, are you able to install any rom on your LG-G3 now? (are you bumped now?). Do you think this method has any different of an outcome rather than the previous method?

Quick question I flash the bump recovery for my Verizon LG g3 and it show my external sd card blank and everything on my sd card is fine cause I had put a Rom on the card so I can flash the Rom but no go do I need to reformat my card or is this a partition thing? Thank I was hoping the flash ROM already
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Did you upgrade TWRP to the latest version 2.8.7.0, then reboot recovery?
[Verizon LG G3] Texas_T-Bolt:
I did but I can't find the bump 2.8.7.0 I just flash back to the 2.8.0 since I thought it fix it and nothing.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
2.8.7.0 is bump'd. Sounds like you need to reformat your MicroSD card. I've had it happen before that even though it's readable one place, it's not another, on several Android phones. Format it FAT32 from within the running Android after you save what you want to keep from it.
[Verizon LG G3] wishx:
I just rooted my vs985 35b with Kingroot, verified it and installed SuperSU. Can I now bump it with this or is it not yet compatible? I'm asking ahead of time in case there are any known issues.

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
TWRP v2.8.7.0 works fine with 35B for me.

Disclaimer: not suggesting you install the way these directions show. You can even install it any which way you can find, including this way. As far as installing it in such a way so that both TWRP works and the ROM boots, that's a different question.

Look at my post here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64072127&postcount=5.

IMHO, it's easiest to downgrade using the TOT method with the 35B .DLL, then root using Stump, use TWRP Manager to put TWRP v2.8.7.0 on, then flash a pre-rooted stock 35B-based ROM.
[Verizon LG G3] wishx:
That's what I'm asking. That is my question. Now that I am rooted and already on 35B, can I run Bump and have it work so I can install TWRP and restore backed-up ROMs like I could before Verizon sent me a new phone with 35B already on it? If I don't have to go through the confusing and difficult-to-understand process of downgrading via TOT / 35B .DLL / Stump, etc., I'd rather not take the risk of something going wrong. I'm asking to see if there is confirmation that Bumping will work once already rooted on 35B like I am now.

If the current answer is "I don't know" or "no one knows for sure yet", that's fine. I'm just checking before I charge ahead and try it and potentially pooch my phone.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
And I'm answering your question to the best of my ability.

As far as the end user, there's no such thing as "running bump". All TWRP versions for the VS985 are already "bump'd". The whole "bumping" wording has confused some people. Add to that several users who have asked if or when will TWRP be made compatible with 35B, when it was never incompatible.

My post I linked to is as much as I know about installing TWRP when you're already on 35B. To summarize an already short post I linked to, I think I've seen one or two people report success doing whatever additional work was necessary besides flashing TWRP to get everything working smoothly on 35B, but you'd have to search for it - probably somewhere in the Q&A threads. I could be remembering wrong. Sorry I can't be more help, I just thought I'd tell you what little I can, especially since no one else appears to be trying to answer yet.

When I experimented with unrooted stock 35B for a week or two, I followed the TOT method with the 35B .DLL to downgrade to 10B, used the Stump app to root in brute force mode, then used TWRP Manager to put TWRP on.
[Verizon LG G3] wishx:
You're right. It is kind of confusing, but thanks for taking the time to lay it out for us less experienced people trying to figure out what to do with 35B we didn't ask for. I hope more information can be gathered on that to do once you have 35B rooted, but nothing else.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No sweat! IMHO, 35B is very well worth it. It definitely makes Lollipop work like it should on this phone.

I know that [MENTION=3279781]bender_007[/MENTION] was working on an autorec app for 35B, to install TWRP, but as far as I know he didn't have successful testing. Check out his autorec TWRP thread in the non-Verizon General section. For the record, using the 23C or 24B autorec apps on 35B will result in a secure boot error.

You're welcome and good luck!
[Verizon LG G3] wishx:
I didn't use autorec, but I did try extracting the latest TWRP 2.8.7.0 vs985 .img and using Flashify to install TWRP. That gave a "secure boot error", but I rebooted again and booted into Safe Mode, then rebooted and booted normally and the secure boot error was gone. I guess it didn't "take", but I'm OK with that because now I know that doesn't work and I don't have to wipe anything and start over. So I guess that's a bit of testing, huh? Heh.

Does the 6.0 marshmellow undo root? 2nd does the newest king root reroot the device?
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Kingroot has been verified to work with the official MM OTA that came out this week per another poster. I myself haven't tried it, but it has been verified as working with the 46A official OTA.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Additionally, if you're rooted (even if you have stock recovery), you can't take OTAs as of 23C. People who were rooted on 12B were able to take the OTA to 23C, but it would become unrooted and I think it would say "Modified", but OTAs require the system partition to be completely unmodified in order to try to process now. You can download the update while rooted, but don't chance trying to install it.

JasmineROM and SkyDragon don't have the OTA checking disabled. You can use my No OTA debloat zip in (I think my third) link in my signature below. It'll work on any version of the stock LG ROM, and probably for many different devices.

Bump Me

Got this working within 5 minutes of reading it. No issues at all and I've already made my first backup, completely formatted /system and restored just the /system partition no problem. I knew the devs working on this phone would get this thing unlocked eventually and you'll all be getting a donation after I find time to sleep now. And to the person asking about whether or not this is a true unlock; it is in the sense that any "bump'd" ROMS can be flashed. The OP says it is not like loki in the fact that you do not need to have matching firmware to flash a ROM, just the matching device model. This seems to imply that different kernels can be flashed which would mean the bootloader is completely unlocked to flash any kernel for any version of android just like other bootloader-unlocked devices. Only time will tell though and hopefully we will have an explanation of this "bumping" process soon as stated in the OP. Regardless, I couldn't be more happy to have a working recovery on this phone to save my sorry ass from dreaded bootloops.
