[G3 General] topet2k12001:
Yup yup, I got it. Thanks. :) Just wanted to confirm.

Yes, I'm aware also of fastboot ability. Basically, dd if=/dev/zero means "writing zeroes" to whatever partition (in the case of the guide, it's the "laf" partition where "Download Mode" is stored). So, zeroing out the "laf" partition will make the device fall back to standard fastboot - except for the Verizon variant. I think you can do that regardless if you are in Kitkat or Lollipop, since the process is mere deletion of a partition's contents to "force" the device to fall back to fastboot.

Yes, you need to downgrade the entire boot stack. Basically, all partitions will need to stay at "Kitkat" version, and then manually flash ONLY system.img, boot.img, and modem.img (just like the one in my guide). And then, "bump" the boot.img so that you can install a custom recovery. I wrote that in my how-to guide as well.

In my case, I feel uncomfortable not having a custom recovery. I tinker around with my device a lot and have "bricked" it a lot of times but was saved because I have a backup via custom recovery.

I would suggest making it clear that this is for root only (meaning, does not include custom recovery). Very important, because I have seen threads from other users where they got bricked and can no longer restore at all - too bad because they did not have a custom recovery backup.

[MENTION=5471229]robalm[/MENTION] writes in his OP, he uses LP rpm and tz (and cust) in his flashables 20x original fw flzshable zip (i've not verified it was the case)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57223144
[G3 General] topet2k12001:
Yes, however that is a repackaged firmware (extract everything, root it, and then "bump" the necessary components, and then put it back together as a single flashable zip). :) That is why it will have root plus "bump" (bump'd boot.img and recovery.img a.k.a. custom recovery). Therefore, those who will download it will no longer have to root it manually. This guide (and mine) are different from repackaged firmwares, in the sense that we are not "pre-rooting" (or "pre-bumping") the firmware. We are rooting (or "bumping") the firmware after installation.
[G3 General] 6ril1:
Yes, it seems it's a little different than [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] and you propose and i was asking myself if these three partitions were realy needed in this case (flashable zip from kdz exracted) or not.

I should prefer to let them in the bootstack version but maybe i'm xrong.
[G3 General] topet2k12001:
Ah, sorry I misunderstood what you were saying.

I do not know what rpm.img and tz.zip are for. I did read somewhere in XDA that tz.img is for the "radio" (or transmitter?). But I would suggest to keep those files (tz.img, rpm.img, aboot.img, sbl1.img) at "Kitkat version" because there will be a signature mismatch resulting to "certificate verify" or "security error" - if people want to have a custom recovery.

If people will NOT install a custom recovery (they just want root) then they can use this guide. The device will boot fine without the error messages, since recovery.img is Lollipop non-"bump'd" version (so the signatures match).
[G3 General] 6ril1:
It should be possible to make a script that flash kk bootstack, bumped recovery and bumped kernel in a one click process, for a LP rooted.
[G3 General] topet2k12001:
Yes, that's another way of approaching it. :) Or maybe create a flashable zip from it. But we will still need to instruct users to extract their Kitkat Image files (I don't think all Image partitions are the same for all variants), that's why I find the manual method (like [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION]) to be a good approach because I personally find it to be more "universal".

One example: the D858HK does not have cust.img.

So for us to create an all-in-one script, zip, or approach, it would be difficult because of the many variants of the LG G3. Maybe if there were not that many variants, I'm sure skilled people like you can have a universal and convenient solution. For now, I still think that manual flashing is more universal.

Tz trustzone,rpm ressource power managment, sbl secondary bootloader

https://wiki.linaro.org/Boards/IFC6410
[G3 General] topet2k12001:
So that explains why even if the Lollipop versions are included/flashed, they won't cause an issue of signature mismatch. The Image file that causes a signature mismatch when you flash a "bump'd" file is aboot.img (the Android Bootloader). Which explains also in my experiment (prior to discovering it all and creating a thread) why I was initially able to "fix" my issue, following [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION]'s tutorial, when I flashed aboot.img - however, in exchange I lost "bump" status.

So basically, people will need to flash their Kitkat version of aboot.img and "bump" will still work (and will have custom recovery). That is our hypothesis at this point.

This reminds me: in my how-to guide, there was a user complaining about fast battery drain. Maybe if I advise him to flash the Lollipop version of rpm.img, that would help alleviate the issue. I will do an experiment and if this will succeed, I will update my how-to guide. In your case, for this thread's purpose, you may also do an experiment and create scripts. :)

Nice teamwork. :)

I don't know what "trustzone" is though. Will it affect signature mismatches? sbl1.img and rpm.img seem to be self-explanatory.

I've tried this on my phone (D857 using 20b Lollipop 5.0.1) and it didn't work.

I could connect using Send_Command and executing ls did display the files. However executing the script was not possible, in fact any kind of access to /data/local/tmp was impossible.

If anyone has any suggestion, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Root + "Bump'd" boot.img and "Bump'd" TWRP Is Possible for This New Method

Hi Friends,

It is possible; I tested it. I posted a how-to in my thread; please take the time to visit and let me know the results, as well as your LG G3 variant. Hope this helps: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59353788&postcount=41

PS: tested on a D858HK (Hong Kong variant, dual-SIM)
[G3 General] fOxunO:
What's the 'reward' and 'punishment' if I still use downgrade to KK for root and TWRP

for the next build LL ?
[G3 General] topet2k12001:
Ah, like "pros" and "cons", you mean? Nothing, really.

There is a reason why, when I updated the first post at Page #1 in my how-to guide, I said that I still personally prefer the downgrade-root-upgrade method. This is because my LG G3 variant (D858HK, dual-SIM) is not one of the more popular variants.

The thing with my discovery (for having TWRP in this new "no-downgrade" method) is that technically, it is a paradoxical situation. A catch-22. Short story: you have to follow my how-to, in order to prove that TWRP is possible with the new guide. :)

...unless, of course, you have one of the more popular LG G3 variants (D855 International version, etc.). Or rather, unless other users share a copy of their "bump'd" boot.img (Lollipop version). Then you won't go into a paradoxical situation because I'm sure that a "bump'd" boot.img is easily available and shared between users. In a case like this, then it is more advantageous to not follow the "Kitkat downgrade" method.

At the end of the day, it comes down to:

1. User preference which method they will prefer. The end result will be the same, anyway. Plus, regardless of the method, the logic is that it is a one-time task.

2. Their level of comfort with not having TWRP, or the necessity to have TWRP. It is a custom recovery which really helps in emergency situations if you know how to use it. It's not just a tool for loading up custom ROMs.

Hi, first I own LG G3 D855 32gb with previously installed stock LL ANHD 8.3 rom with downgrading to KK rooting method.

Today I decided to try fully root following guide from this threat given by [MENTION=5231281]topet2k12001[/MENTION], http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59353788&postcount=41, and after clean installing LL 20H KDZ file I root it with no problem and then I decided to follow guide for installing bump¨d TWRP and aboot.img from KK witch I extracted from latest 10N KK version, only thing I did deferent is that for flashing TWRP and boot.img I used Flashify from playstore and for aboot.img I used Android terminal with commands in guide from this threat. After flashing all and turning off phone then turning it on to enter TWRP it work so I can state that TWRP is working fine, no more error, even I restore my backup (system and data) of rom ANHD 8.3 (LL) I used before this and all is working flawlessly with almost full lollipop rom except aboot.img (KK).

Considering this it is possible to fully root and use functional TWRP on LL 20H without downgrading to KK rom like previously we have to do and its working fine on G3 D855 32gb for me at lest.

If someone try to do same thing considering post I wrote and get bootloop or dead device dont blame me for it, you doing it on yours responsibility, if you dont know what are you doing than leave your phone as is.

hello,

maybe i'm knocking on a wrong door, but probably you can help me. so, i rooted my lg g3 (855) without any issues followed the steps in the 1st comment. but when i wanted to boot into recovery mode i face the error message "signature invalid" and the led flashing red and blue. when i remove the battery and reinstert the device boot up normally. also the download mode is working well. only recovery mode is missing, which should be important if i want to use other rom like clody or so, which can be installed only from recovery mode.

my thought is that the bumped.img was out-to-date or for kitkat, i'm not sure, but probably it cased the issue. if my thoughts are right how can i revert this bad move i made?

any help, idea, whatsoever?

thanks in advance

I was asked if I could build Dirty Unicorns v9 for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 2, and I was bored, so here it is... Be aware... I don't own this particular device, so I can't test it myself, but I've had reports from others that it should work just fine. If anyone does run into issues... Hopefully y'all will be able to help each others out in solving them. Also, because I don't own the device, I'm not sure how often I'll update this build, but if the demand is there, I may keep up with it for a while. Finally, don't ask for change logs... You may be able to piece together the changes that may have happened between builds from my main build thread at http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-2-att/development/rom-dirty-unicorns-v9-012-28-2014-t2987096 or the Dirty Unicorns gerrit at http://gerrit.dirtyunicorns.com/#/q/status:merged,n,z but I'll likely not be posting a specific change log for this build. This is an unofficial build, and as such, is not the responsibility of Dirty Unicorns' devs, so if you do not post your issue here, you'll likely not receive proper assistance. In other words... Do not post issues in the Dirty Unicorns G+ group. So if after all this, you still wanna give this thing a try... Here you go...

Installation Instructions:

Download ROM here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=27329

Download GAPPS here: DU TBO GAPPS or BaNkS GAPPS

Reboot into recovery (The latest version of TWRP is recommended).

Full wipe: Wipe cache, dalvik, wipe data/factory reset, clean to install new rom, format system.

Flash ROM downloaded above.

Flash GAPPS downloaded above.

Reboot into system.

Let the system rest for a bit to connect to the cellular network and get everything squared away before initial setup.

A few reboots will more than likely be necessary to work out all the kinks.
