[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsbighead:
Because

1) Bumping is used to trick the bootloader into thinking that the boot.img is authentic and from Official LG Sources

2) Without bumping you could have to constantly run fastboot boot boot.img (an example of this was CM11 when it first started development)

3) Bootloader cant be unlocked at this time so we rely on a bootloader exploit in order to run custom recovery

4) Its all about the authenticity. If the LG bootloader does its security checks and anything fails then the system doesnt boot
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrovale:
Thanks for the very easy tuo understand explanation. I should have thought that the problem was unlocking the bootloader! Guess I'll have to with the Flow and bump my new phone. I wish I asked my Carrier for an HTC M8
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhystagram:
simple answer: bump is the only way to unlock g3 bootloader.

all roms are bumped whether displaying [BUMPED] or not.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrovale:
Ok, so by simple logic, once I have installed, either via bump, flashify or ADB a recovery, I can pretty much flash any rom that is appropriate for my model no, isn't it?

So there is one more question I have: what is the purpose of unlocking the bootloader and then what could be the problems if I don't? If everything I flash for this device (TWRP, roms, kernels, etc) is, by default, bumped, what's the purpose of installing bump at all?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4783640:
You're making it so much harder for yourself dude.. There really is only one way to install custom ROMs and that is by Bumping your phone. That's it.

You go here and read the entire topic. Don't miss a single thing.

Then go here and flash the zip for the latest TWRP.

After that you can install any ROM in the OG and Android Development section.

That's all there is to it. You can read in those topics for more information about what they do.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhystagram:
if you dont bump, then you wont have twrp lol.

you cant flash any roms anyway, you'll potentially brick/soft brick your phone.

roms etc are bumped because they have a patch script implanted to run on the phones correctly.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrovale:
OK. Got it! It took a while, but I give up!

Thanks for the help. Coming from the most easy to play with phones (only Nexus so far, but I hate the N6), it isn't easy to have to deal with more stuff than usually needed and hence more complications than usually had.

I thought that, after rooting I could flash TWRP via flashify or rom toolbox and then I would have TWRP without BUMP, but it must be that I'm missing something, if you say I MUST bump my phone to install TWRP.

Thanks and see you around ;)

How to bump lg g3
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undeadking:
What exactly do you mean "How to bump"??? Bump and loki are bootloader exploits that allowed us to boot TWRP and all the benefits TWRP offers... On the user side of things you don't "Bump" anything- the Roms, Kernels, and recoveries are "pre-bumped" by the developers and 99.9% of the time they will say whether or not it is "bumped" or "lokied" although loki is really outdated and I doubt you'll encounter it. So in a nutshell we(the user) doesn't "Bump" anything and just make sure to really read before flashing

But on JB is only possible if only one core is active, if two cores enabled then overclock is disabled for battery, on pac overclock is enabled pernamently :)

I tested higher values than 1.114 (like 1.200, 1.300, 1.400) but the phone have random reboots when bootanimation appeared. :/

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbonine:
I've been watching the developer board regarding the root and locked bootloader issue, and I've spent hours researching this and have yet to find a solution that's known to work without loss of something, likely a permanent or semi permanent loss. My device is a Z3 model D6616. I'm unhappy with the phone for several other reasons, but haven't owned an un-rooted phone for some time, and prefer keeping this phone if I can root it successfully. Root with stock firmware is my objective and am only interested in responses from people that have themselves rooted (and dealt with bootloader issues) a Z3.

- Root phone installing current T-mobile stock firmware.

- Known loss of function: Sony DRM dependant features/funtion only (from memory, mostly related to camera low light performance and DRM playback issues)

- Other loss of function experienced with stock features, or any other problem with any other app. Especially concerned with root dependant features of Play apps? Also ad blockers?

- Waranty loss (potential) and loss of OTA updates understood.

- Feature/function loss with workarounds or fixed that survive power cycle?

- Expect permament bootlocker inability to relock

- A link to the specific process you used, any problems you encountered whatever the cause. For example it usually takes me at least 3 attempts to root using any complex process, and I always read through 5 times before starting and download every needed file and program in advance.

Again: Sony Xperia z3 D6616 T-mobile

Firmware: 4.4.4 23.0.3.1.123

Software: D6166 R16B

In the past, I've had the most problems when an understood part of a process is not explicitly stated, or I've ignored or misunderstood a step. Plugging and unplugging from usb to PC a typical example. I don't have the technical know how to critique or ignore, so always attempt to follow all instructions without variance. I've had some problems, and most were solved by starting the process again. I hesitate to ask for help since the last time I did that I was attacked for witholding information when asked if I had backed up the phone. Since i didn't have access to the PC at the time of the question I honestly answered I didn't know (since I had attempted to but couldn't confirm). If you've ever answered a question here implying the request or requester is stupid or dishonest, I'm fully aware of my ignorance and my own integrity, and other personality traits, so please ignore this request, which accepts my lack of knowlege and has no tolerance for your issues not previously resolved through your own peaceful and respectful process.

Please only respond if you have personally rooted this specific phone model. If you have not, but know someone who has, please ask them to review this post and respond.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HORiZUN:
Nobody has rooted this phone without unlocking the bootloader. If you unlock to root, you will permanently lose DRM keys from the TA partition with no way to recover. No current root method works on 4.4.4 on the Z3. No one knows when or if an exploit will be found. We all want root. If you want it now, unlock the bootloader. If you can wait, wait. It's your call either way. As soon as a root method surfaces, best believe it will be in these forums. I'll be waiting with you...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freddy1991:
First of all, check *#*#7378423#*#* to see if you bootloader can be unlocked or not.

Coz I think 6616's bootloader is unlockable.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xploitnt:
This is true. D6616 owner here, T-MO not unlockable yet :/ eagerly awaiting root as well as I really enjoy the z3, maybe even more than my Nexus 6 (gasp, blasphemy!)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbonine:
Thanks For the Responses

freddy you addressed my concern, exactly. My phone reports:

Rooting Status:

Boot Unlocker Allowed: No

Although variants of the z3 have been bootlocker unlocked and rooted, I have not found a clear claim that was successfully done with D6616 z3. Since I'm a new T-mobile customer, this and their attitude about it are a poor way to start. I have a HTC phone I haven't returned, maybe I can get them to take the Z3 back instead. While I have benefited from and appreciate the great work so many people have done to make our phones usable and available to us, I've seen how carriers, mfgs, and users push good phones to market crippled by junk and unecessarily locked down. it's time to consider the mamufacturers that have been successful building good phones and selling in places like China at much lower prices.

Regarding any loss of DRM, I couldn't care less. This phone takes worse low light photos and video than my rooted Samsung G3, making it functionaly useless to me. Add to that the lack of a rational UI for telephony and IM, and done with Sony.

To be clear, if the bootloader can be unlocked and the phone can be rooted and you have done this yourself, please post.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freddy1991:
Well...

I think there is no way you could unlock the bootloader of 6616.

The only way is to wait for the root on locked bootloader.

Check here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2940539

But that means you have to stick in the .93 firmware, even if the exploit is also usable for Z3.

Or return your 6616 and buy a 6603 or 6653 variant.

I'm similarly confused about this whole thing, this new Giefroot program means we can all potentially get root for our devices, but we still lose the DRM keys right? So that means we can never have the Sony camera/image processing processes back again right?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
NO

Unlocking the bootloader = loss of DRM

Rooting that does not involve unlocking the bootloader means you keep the DRM keys

Thanks, I'm new to Android and this is all over my head. To clarify, Giefroot does this without unlocking the bootloader?

i have a note 3 that i can sell to my sister ( her s3 doesn't work anymore), and with something like 50€ i could buy an lg g2 32gb...should i go for it or just keep my note 3 and let my sister buy a note 3 neo (yeah she likes very much my note 3)? thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
I think it really comes down to screen size. As you are coming from Samsung you are used to bloat so no issues with the g2 from that perspective.

If you are used to a huge screen, wouldn't the g3 be a more natural choice?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jager23:
that's another story...i really like my note 3, but sometimes it's just to difficult to handle with one hand, so i decided my next phone would have been smaller, something like nexus 5, z3 compact, iphone 6...the lg g2 could be on the larger side but i think it should work just fine, and with the similar hardware and battery life i shouldn't notice a difference in everyday life...so the question, should i go for it, or just wait and see if i can buy newer phones? thanks in advance
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
If you can get the G2 at a good price its a no brainer. As the internals were very good when it was released, it doesnt feel like an old phone or backwards to me.

The design of the G2 is slightly better than the Nexus 5 so it doesnt feel any bigger but the screen feels bigger. :highfive:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Actually the G2 isn't that big at all. Just because it has a 5.2" screen, the physical size is relatively small... about the size of my Galaxy Nexus that had a 5" screen. The screen is edge to edge, which not only makes for a smaller physical size, but also looks freaking sweet. The G2 is probably one of the best phones I have ever had (coming from a long line of Nexus lines).

Talking about the G2 vs G3... well... the size isn't that different in hand either. My CoWorker has a G3 and I've been playing on it. I have smaller hands but I could manipulate the G3 with little problems. I don't know if there are any hardware issues with the G3 and we have plenty of G3 Roms for the G2 (essentially making the G2 into a G3), which is what I have done with mine.

The Verizon model also has Wireless Charging and Unlocked GSM bands. Wireless Charging is a must in a mobile phone. I don't think the G3 even has Wireless Charging options unless they went the Samsung route and have special backplates.

I cant wait. I've tried a couple of the 5.0 ROMs, but nothing works super smoothly yet. I'm excited to hear that stock Lollipop is coming soon. Of course we will need someone to get it and modify it and bump it so that we don't have to flash the stock upgrade which might make rooting and bumping harder. This will also really help the 5.0 ROM developers since they should be able to take the base kernel from AT&T and make their ROMS run even smoother.
