No. TWRP has not been bumped for the 47A and above versions of Android for the G3. Also, there is no root for 48A and above and you MUST have root first before being able to install TWRP.

The only thing you can do is downgrade the phone to 10B va a TOT flash, but you can ONLY do this if your phone is not a model K version.

To check, take off the back cover and remove the battery. Look at the sticker in the battery compartment and look for the model number. As long as there is no letter K at the end of the model number (such as VS985), then you can TOT flash back to 10B, and then you can root with stump and then you can install TWRP. You MUST check it this way. Looking in system settings will NOT show a K if it's a K model. You must look at the sticker.

But, to get Marshmallow, you'll have to flash a custom ROM. There are stock-based ROMs as well as AOSP-based ROMs. Look in the development forums on the types of ROMs you can flash. And in the General forum are guides on flashing back to 10b.

If the model number ends in a K, then you are out of luck. The only thing you can do is KDZ flash back to 47A and root with Kingroot, but that's it. But I never used Kingroot. It's from China and connects to a remote server so who knows what information it's sending. I would advise against it.

I no longer have G3. Mine died this week so I'm now sporting a Galaxy S7 and loving it.
[Verizon LG G3] ghadeer.m96:
Thanks a lot for the information

My sticker says VS985 only .. no K, no W

I'll flash back to 10B and get twrp and root

Thanks again

Sorry for u losing your G3

Best choice is the S7 .. i love it .. but i think my Verizon G3 is till good
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Thanks. I love the S7 a lot too. G3 was excellent, but I think the S7 is my most favorite phone now. I think I say that with each new Android phone I get. ;)
[Verizon LG G3] ghadeer.m96:
Same for me ?

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] addsfsds:
Hi guys,

I just got an HTC 10 and i'm coming directly from the 'ol ONE S.

Questions are: I just want to install the latest MaximusHD rom on my device (I already unlocked it and installed TWRP). What can happen if i don't do the S-off with sunshine? Will I miss the opportunity to get OTA? What will happen when Nougat OTA is out? Without s-off can I still update the phone with the RUU and then install the latest nougat maximus?

Thanks in advance!!!

Nicola
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
You don't need S-off for any of that stuff.

Install Maximus, and when that gets updated to Nougat just flash the latest version. You won't get OTAs from htc anyway when on a custom Rom.

S-off is only needed for you if you want to downgrade your software to an older version through an ruu, or if you want to flash an ruu that wasn't made for your phone. You can still flash an ruu while s-on as long as it's made for your phone (mid) version and is at least at the same firmware version you are already at.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] addsfsds:
Great! So it's even better than in the One S days. Thanks mate, really appreciate your reply!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] britt21:
I have a metro pcs Samsung galaxy S 6 .I've heard you can use Odin to download the firmware for T-Mobile on the metro pcs.

My question is can I root the metro S 6 first then use Odin after to install the T-Mobile firmware after using Odin then once I have the T-Mobile firmware I can just go under the T-Mobile threads to install custom Roms for my metro pcs S 6?

Do I also have to install a custom recovery under metro as well as obtain root before using Odin to install the T-Mobile firmware? Or root first then once I have installed the T-Mobile firmware use the custom recovery now using T-Mobile for TWRP recovery or CWM. Not a noob at this I've had the s3,4,5 and Nexus 6 but with one carrier and was simple just never gone thru an unlocked phone and don't wanna brick an S6 .Maybe it's simple where I can just install the T-Mobile firmware and just root install recovery and custom Roms all under T-Mobile .Any help.would be appreciated cause I'm.tired of using the zmax pro all my phones were rooted and I'm.sp bored with this phone

Can't do anything with it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mjdavis871:
Odin will pretty much put your phone back to out of the box factory state. You lose root and custom recovery when you odin back to stock, so you would be wasting time rooting first.

As far as what firmware works on what phone...I don't know. Any reason you want to run tmo firmware on your phone? I can't imagine that it's much different since the are the same company.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] natinusala:
Hello everyone,

A very good 4G coverage recently popped in my house for no apparent reason. I won't say I'm unhappy, because the debit is 23 times better than my poor ADSL2+ (140+Mo/s instead of ~6Mo/s). My subscription allows for 50Go of data per month, which is more than enough for my needs.

I currently use my Nexus 5X and USB tethering to share this connection to my computer (which doesn't have a WiFi card). I'm afraid that having the phone connected (and thus charging) constantly will ruin its battery.

I have the possibility to buy a WiFi PCIe card for my computer. Using it, I'll be able to use the WiFi hotspot and therefore not kill my battery. Moreover, Android Nougat has a quick toggle for WiFi Hotspot and not USB Tethering, making it more easy to enable and disable (would it be possible to make an app to add such an icon for USB Tethering ?).

My question is : which solution is better ? Should I keep using USB Tethering, or will it kill my battery and I should use the WiFi Hotspot instead ? If I should, what kind of PCIE card should I buy, will a 811n be enough or should I buy an 811ac one (considering that the hotspot emits 811ac) ?

Thanks for helping me :) (and no, the fiber is not coming anytime soon unfortunately)

If i want to flash custom MiUi rom like miui.eu or epic miui ROM, should I use cofface recovery or official twrp ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ckflash09:
This tut has been pretty clear but I have a typical doubt! If I unlock my phone using mi flash tool by using the miui7.1.8 fastboot rom and flash twrp and if I later how do I update my miui? If I would be able to update it in some way doesent the bootloader get locked again? If it gets locked and I need to downgrade to older miui version! Pls help!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vikasb32:
If I use offical twrp and take my unrooted miui backup and flashed cm14.1 and then latter restore my unrooted miui i wouldn't work?

---------- Post added at 05:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 AM ----------

Also we can't flash cm14.1 rom using any other recoveries like Alka zcx coaffe ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NVDX11:
Seriously dude , zcx supports all partition backup like alka twrp+6.0 encryption problem is also solved ,inbuilt boot image patcher + miui ota support

This guide just made procedure to flash ROMs more hectic and uneasy and long process.

I Recommend user to just flash zcx twrp and do all the stuff you want,flash any roms including miui.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vikasb32:
Can i restore miui backup after flashing cm14.1 in zcx recovery ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] iamgauravmishra.sj:
Then must use cofface because MIUI based custom rom like

Xiaomi.eu etc. Are also need boot image patching..but 1st

Take full nandroid backup through alka and copy it to pc

Before flashing it. After flashing MIUI based custom rom use

Check your bootloader status because some of them locks your Bootloader again..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] iamgauravmishra.sj:
1st of all the bootloader status(lock/unlock) get changed

From rom to rom. So everytime if you wanna flash something

Like any rom(official/stock/custom) or any recovery you need to check your bootloader status 1st. I have told in post that if u wanna flash Miui rom or wanna update it,just flash through cofface recovery. And one thing to remember, never downgrade miui version through cofface (for example Miui8 to miui7). But if u want to upgrade(for ex. Miui7 to miui8) or want to update(ex.- miui 8.0.1 to miui 8.1.1 or something like this) then you can use cofface twrp recovery and also zcx twrp recovery. Before flashing make sure you have full backup through alka twrp. You should read the post again.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] iamgauravmishra.sj:
It will work if your miui backup from official twrp contains backup of firmware partition. Since official twrp doesn't supports all partition backup. So you need to flash a miui based fastboot rom then unlock bootloader again if it get locked and then flash alka to take all partition backup then save this backup to pc. And after that check the post again for what you want.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NVDX11:
Yep sure! No prob.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] iamgauravmishra.sj:
you are right but zcx doesn't support all about 40 partitions. Maybe it comes with all features that we get in all other twrp recoveries like cofface,alka etc. but for whole partitions backup alka is necessary.

But it is true that ZCX supports important partitions that are more important while ALKA twrp supports whole with important and not important :)

This post is not so long or uneasy. It is for noobies to understand. This is not for PROs. Thank you!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NVDX11:
Zcx supports all partitions backup,i am using it for long time,never faced a single prob and i am not shooting arrows in dark bruh,i have tested and its my experience,if you dont believe try it by urself.

But just dont post like it doesnt support partition backup like alka.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] iamgauravmishra.sj:
okk bro I am wrong. I am also using it and thanks for the info. I will add it in the tutorial. Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NVDX11:
No problem bro, i know you have made guide for new comers( i wont call them noobies) & it's a good one.

But i am just in favor of "if we can do things on easiest way,no need to choose harder ones" :)

I will try to suggest if some steps need to be included and what other things which we can short doing the flashing procedures.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] iamgauravmishra.sj:
Thats the good idea bro actually i haven't any knowledge about zcx recovery till the post was submitted. And I have seen somewhere that it comes with few bugs but I think now it gets updated.

Now I am going to re-post the tutorial by editing it and at last thank you so much.. :)

It's more of a gimmick or something to show off than a serious web browser, so yes it's not easy to type or use.

Not sure why you need instructions, all the navigation buttons are on the edges of the screen. The rest is exactly the same as any other browser.

Hi!

I'm rooted on stock .570, with xposed installed aswell. The root and xposed are working fine for some time after startup, suddenly Facebook stops working (getting this error message. wich comes over and over again, with random time between each, sometimes 0.5seconds). When this happens, root checker says I'm not rooted, and xposed installer says the xposed framework is not installed.

Once I restart my phone, the root and xposed are working fine again. Any suggestions on what's wrong and how to fix this? (preferably without factory reset)

Thanks!

Yeah, auto-brightness in OP3 is far from perfect, but at least it's a lot better now than it was in early OOS versions.

You might want to try "Lux" to set your own behavior for auto-brightness, but bear in mind that it take some time for it to "learn" what brightness you want in specific situations. Ofc you'll have to do some manual adjustments during that time.
