[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Zrei:
I really want to root it. i love having the ability to do what i want with my phone and all the fun stuff rooting brings with it self. I want your opinions? If you guys can supply me with links and etc like a stock firmware so just in case i want to unroot and etc. I can't find any for my version which is G920PVPU2BOFE. Also Is There a CWM or TWERP? Well if you guys could help that would be great.

Also are there any good and stable roots for my phones version? I was reading around and found one that had something to do about flashing a new kernel and doing that it didn't let the user use private mode and a few other things. I'm not sure if i should wait it out. I have looked around a lot but couldn't find much about rooting my phones current software version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] IAmTechFreq:
Well, for me i dont know too much for running Xposed just yet but im trying to see if theirs any guides for this phone.

But for me to completely UNROOT it,is to flash the stock Rom OF7 tar with Odin....it actually fixed a soft bootloop or softbrick i had.

So i was skeptical just like you and well I rooted my phone pretty good advantages havent tinkered much yet but i decided to might as well flash a recovery since im rooted and voided my warrenty. so the only thing available was TWRP which can be found in the forums.

I downloaded a custom rom known as Twisted Projects its mainly stock with just extra features to it

BUT my mistake was that i didnt select Unlock BootLoader OEM before i restarted it becaused it said to update supersu since its outdated on the custom rom i guess. And well in which resulted for me to get a custom binary lock F R P. and i couldnt get to recovery only download mode, and then flashing OF7 tar and i got myself back to normal. And rooted it again, still debating to go to it again. but thats an FYI ake sure to select Developer options, Usb Debugging, and OEM Unlock before doing anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Zrei:
Thanks for everything yo. Only Thing Holding Me Back Is My Phone Is leased but i herd sprint doesn't really care much. I'd just have to flash it back to normal and this brings me to my next question. I See Theres stock firmwares for OF7 and none for OFE and if i where to soft brick my phone can i flash the OF7 firmware on it with no problem? because i herd something about we can't go to previous versions and etc. Also another question do you notice any things that aren't working out so well on the root since we have to flash it as a new kernal. I herd some battery drain issues and over heating and some stuff like that. They where rare cases but just wondering And on the root of my phone i download the OFE kernal from the link you provided and flash it through odin and then im rooted correct? i am a little skeptical on rooting again cause its a more expensive phone and i wouldn't want to mess up haha. :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mcald80:
Did you ever get it rooted?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Zrei:
No i did not sadly. I updated it on accident and now i'm on G920PVPU2BOH1 5.1.1 and i really want to root it lmao. I'm just waiting but no luck and no root. Also im leased so i don't know if its worth it. I herd sprint is layed back on it and if i reset it it'll be fine but at the same time i don't know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Zrei:
Really? Link? Well thats good. But is it worth it at the moment? like i herd private mode and a few other things get disabled. I mean is there any downsides? i used to be rooted and loved it but my old phone (GS3) was purchased regularly. This phone i'm currently leasing it. So is there any downsides to that as well? Sorry for being so skeptical lmao It's a new phone and don't want nothing to go bad on it :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Zrei:
Thats super dope and its good to hear xposed is still working for it as well. Do you think the company would care if i root it? and then put it back to stock after my two years are up? i have warranty on it so thats the only downside since its leased and something goes bad thats 700 dollars lmao but i doubt anything would go wrong. I've herd several cases where people would send their phones back with knox tripped and gotten them fixed no problem. Thanks for the link btw now its all up to the decision aha. Also thanks for replying back so quick :)

Has this been documented? Everything I have seen says that we haven't figured out how to do this (although it's probably possible).
[Verizon LG G3] Carmelized_FUNTIME:
Its time for an upgrade and I am eyeing the G3. Its currently $.99 on upgrade, and the price is playing a big part in my decision as money is tight right now and my older S3 is falling apart.

The thing that draws me to this phone is its unlocked bootloader. I have tried to research on my own, and what I have found is that you can get a custom recovery and ROM on a G3 from most stock OOB configs.

However, I cant find any super recent talk of it. That doesnt mean there isnt, it just means I havent found it on this forum or elsewhere and my Search-Fu is probably weak.. I believe I read that the G3 was recently updated OTA to lolipop, and my question is does the CURRENT, brand new G3 from verizon still have the capability to install custom roms? I am no smartphone expert, ive rooted and custom rom'd an old tablet and I am confident in my technical skills, and I just want to make sure that the phone (which i probably will go pick up from the VZW store tomorrow) is still viable because if its not, ill probably get a different phone. I will go deeper into research mode once I know for sure, I am worried though that the bootloader has been locked as this happened to the S3 later in its life after the Kitkat upgrade.

TLDR is a new G3 from verizon still ROM'able and such?

Thank you for your help, this is a pretty awesome site/forum and I hate to bother you all with noobish questions!
[Verizon LG G3] salvabigboy:
I have a Verizon g3 but mine didn't come with the boot loader unlocked! And also it's a great phone, the only downside is the battery life with the new lollipop update but if you root it, you can fix that problem
[Verizon LG G3] Carmelized_FUNTIME:
O really? So you are unable to install a recovery and ROMS?

Forgive my ignorance, I might be misusing the terminology.
[Verizon LG G3] salvabigboy:
That's correct. I rooted my phone but I was unsuccesful on unlocking the boot loader and now I updated my phone so I lost root. Although I heard about an app called autorec in the play store that will install the custom recovery for you. There is a Verizon g3 variant too
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
Plan on kdz'ing or tot'ing back to the stock firmware (10B), and then root, unlock, and install TWRP (custom recovery), and you'll be good to go to install custom roms! All OOB firmwares from Verizon can be kdz'ed or tot'ed back to the stock firmware, so yes that's a HUGE plus.
[Verizon LG G3] Carmelized_FUNTIME:
So just to clarify you are saying is that all G3's regardless of stock firmware, even the latest VZW version G3, can be rooted, unlocked and custom rom installed, it just make take a little extra work on some of them?
[Verizon LG G3] NBreunig3:
If the phone ships with the latest 24B update you can root with my script but TWRP will not work yet.
[Verizon LG G3] salvabigboy:
Whats your root script? And have you tried autorec for recovery?
[Verizon LG G3] NBreunig3:
My root script will root 24B. Autorec works with 23C and only 23C. So 24B = Root only but 23C = Root + TWRP. Check out my toolkit which will do all of this for you. bit.ly/VZWG3Toolkit
[Verizon LG G3] salvabigboy:
Thanks! I'll check it out. I really don't want a new Rom anyway. Just interested in the battery saving apps
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
That's correct. And whether or not you want a custom ROM, I would still root AND unlock, that way you can install TWRP, take nandroid backups, etc. and thereby make it easier on yourself if you ever jacked up the phone doing something with root. I figure if you're gonna go to the trouble of rooting, might as well unlock too. Just my 2 cents :)
[Verizon LG G3] salvabigboy:
hello, I tried using your method but it tells me " cannot stat "busyboy" no such file or directory" and I tried using the other method you said to use incase that happened and I tried both the root.bat and send command option but still no success! please tell me what to do! I'm on 5.0.1 24B

hi, I tried your method but it did not work and I got the message "cannot stat "busybox" no file or directory" and then I looked at the forum andsed the other method it said to use incase that happened and used both the root.bat and send command option but it still didn't work! I really need help!! I'm on 5.0.1 24b
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Technically, it's not unlocked. There is an exploit that allows you to flash custom ROMs and kernels as if the bootloader was unlocked. On the surface, yes. You could say it's unlocked, but it it were truly unlocked, you could flash TWRP without having to be rooted. But you can't replace the recovery correctly without being rooted first. Hence, it's an exploit that skirts around the locked bootloader. It's still locked, but an exploit allows you to flash TWRP after you are rooted.

Here's what I know:

The first thing you must do is root the phone. You can root 24B as stated earlier by an earlier post.

Once rooted, you can flash TWRP but only if you are not on 24B. If you are on the latest OTA (24b), you can still flash TWRP, but it requires some extra steps. However, there is an app for this that you can install and run and it will prep your phone for TWRP and then install TWRP. It's basically a one-click TWRP install. You can get it in the Google Play store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=b007.autorecvs985. Saves a lot of headaches.

So, I can one-click root my phone. Then install the LG G3 AutoRec-LP app to flash TWRP for me and I'm done!

You're bootloader is not unlocked, but TWRP is a "bumped" version. Bumping is the term they use for taking advantage of the exploit. But, you can't just flash any ROM out there for the G3. ROMs are specific to the model of the phone you have. For instance, you cannot take a D855 version (UK version of G3 I believe) of a ROM and flash it on your VS985 version. You'll brick it. ROMs have to also be "bumped" in order to work and be flashed, hence that is why the ROMs are specific to each model of the G3.

So if the AT&T version of the g3 has a ROM but the Verizon doesn't have that particular ROM, it's because the dev hasn't bumped their ROM for VS985. So, you can only flash those ROMs that are bumped for VS985.

But, the bumped version of TWRP and the ROMs act the same as if you had an unlocked bootloader, but it's an exploit that could be patched in the future. For whatever reason, LG and Verzion have not done that. Not sure why. But, caution on blindly taking any future OTAs. I would wait until you hear whether you can either revert back to a previous version to exploit and still root and bump on that previous version or not. Otherwise, you will be SOL.

As for unlocking the bootloader, that has only been allowed for overseas variants of the G3, but there is one issue that many might now like. When you truly unlock the bootloader with LG's unlocking tool, DRM is removed (which many would love), but then that means, some movie streaming services you use might not work any more because of the DRM removal. So, my feeling right now is, bumping is the best way to go.

Here's LG's description of what happens when you unlock it officially using their tool (mind you, as I stated, this is only for overseas variants of the G3):

But first, remember that if ODIN bricks your device, then nothing on earth except "JTAG Tools" can rescue it!

It's better to create a CWM ROM than flashing directly using ODIN :D

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
I had my best success with Linux mint 11 maya I believe it was. You need to build your live usb using pendrive and give it persistence so it saves data between reboots. I gave them 2 gigs of persistence just as a general rule of thumb in case I needed to store larger files on it. When you say bootloop the first that comes to my mind is some tampering has been done to the device to cause this to happen. You may be able to rescue it or not these devices are very temperamental. I would try to enter the stock recovery with power and volume up button or power and volume down, I can`t remember if this is even still possible but it`s worth a shot. A dead battery can also pose a bootloop syndrome charging via usb or powering it off just as it boots from charger connect can sometimes fix this. At last resort if you can get it into fastboot many things can be done from there to factory reset it

fastboot -i 0x1949 erase user/data

then

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

with success dialogue appears on the screen when issuing the first command. Good luck.

Hello guys, i'm new here on the forum , this is my first post !!

So lets start , Im a 23 yo emergency nurse who's very noob with all this ROM-Root thing and this am, i Rooted my Lg G3 D852 with Rogers /canada succefully,

After that i installed TWRP on my cellphone , wich was ok, everything worked,

i had also installed on my device Cloudy for G3

Now, what i learn on youtube was to Wipe couple things but i wiped the system by mistake , so now when i try to open my phone i have no more OS, so my phone 's not working

I only have acces to the TWRP recovery mode ... which is not usefull because i can't find the link that i installed ( CLoudy) and i tryed with a Micro SD card but no luck

Can someone can teach me or redirect me to a step by step guide with what i need to do and what program i need to download to fix my phone before i go buy a other one ! ahah spended 5 h on this today unable to fix the problem but as i say im noob with this

Explain more? Lol there's a lot that can cause an issue as everything has to be correct. From using a USB2.0 port to using a specific cable. And just a simple error that can be resolved. The method works for every LG phone.

Since your running cloudy you might have to use the tot method first if there is a tot for your device.

So, what exactly that error means and what should I do to resolve?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erioho:
It seems (maybe) I solved the problem, now building but not yet complete.

From the source it use CWM as default recovery but now the code is using TWRP, so it halted. And I change it to TWRP and now running. For sure I have not much ideas on why such change in code, may be the KBC-developer intended to do, but not fully.

Another question is, If I would like to build the rom, but not all apks in /system/app, what should I do? As I would like to slim down the rom as some of the files are unnecessary to me, e.g. bootnanimation.zip and the default browser.
