Prologue: I myself own a Sprint G3, and I'm rooted and running Bumpd TWRP just fine. I'm running the unofficial Sprint CyanogenMod 12 and all is well.
The Problem: My friend asked me to do the same to his Verizon G3, so I downgraded his G3 to 10b so that I could stump root it using a .kfz I think, I forget the exact file name. Well any who, that went well and then Stump Root worked, but it had to use bruteforce mode (My Sprint Variant didn't require BruteForce) but it worked so I wasn't very concerned. Then I used Flashify to flash the Bumpd TWRP to his G3. That went well too, I rebooted into TWRP immediately after flashing it and while in TWRP I pushed the CyanogenMod 12 .zip and the Lollipop PA GAPPS to his phone. I totally forgot to push su. That was my big mistake. So I flashed CM12 and GAPPS still not knowing that I forgot to root too by flashing su. It booted and the phone runs great on CM 12, but I do need to be able to flash him back to stock and he does need root.
This is where I need help: I've tried Stump Root and Towel root, and I've attempted to push su, but the binaries won't install of course because it isn't rooted. So my friend has a G3 running basically a stock version of CyanogenMod 12 with no root and no custom recovery. Is there any way I can install root and custom recovery without losing CM? I know I can just flash the stock if need be, but I'm curious if there's any way I can fix it without all those drastic measures.
Recovery is gone? What do you see when you try to get into it? Also, you can enable root in developer options or security I think.

When I boot into recovery, its the stock LG recovery, it just has LG factory reset options. Somehow it got reflashed over the TWRP

This is how the Verizon g3 is. When you boot I to recovery it will always show stock recovery. Scroll down to factory reset and hit yes. Then if it really is bumped it will boot into twrp

You are in the right place. Select factory reset and it will boot into twrp.
Oh thank you, is that a Verizon thing? My Sprint G3 doesn't have that before TWRP.

Yes, when you try to enter recovery using the button combo. Otherwise it goes straight to recovery.
if you download quick boot you don't have to deal with the buttons.

I have experience rooting in the past but not on this phone.
I tried rooting using the manual method a couple months ago and it did not go all the way through. At one point during the root process when I had to reboot into the bootloader manually the phone entirely rebooted since the evo lte is kind of a pain to reboot into the bootloader.
Now it seems I am in a state of limbo as the phone actually has a recovery on it, but it is not rooted as i tried to use titanium backup. I have also tried to use the regawmod now that it works with version 22.13.651.1 but I can an unhandled exception error after pressing the root me button.
I assume something isnt playing nice with each other since my first attempt at rooting didnt go all the way through but did install the recovery. I actually tried to install the newest sprint update and it got stuck popping up the custom recovery. I think it would be best to revert back to completely stock and try again but i am not sure how to do so. appreciate any help!
If you have custom recovery, flash a rooted ROM to gain root access

I didnt realize that would actually work! When it popped up in recovery I could go to install from sdcard I just wasnt sure if there would be consequences doing so. So I could reboot into the bootloader, go into recovery and flash a rooted rom from there just like always and it would give me root? That would be awesome

Yes, that's right!
I have a verizon galaxy s4 (SCH-I545). I flashed the NC5 onto the phone after rooting it. I tried to install Philztouch onto it, but something froze up/crashed during the process. I now do not have ANY type of recovery, and the phone goes directly into download mode when trying to boot recovery. :crying:
I deleted and/or frozen anything knox from the phone... it still operates even w/o knox or a recovery in it!!
My situation is that I have used odin to try flashing twrp and other recoveries to the phone. odin says it was successful, but it still has no recovery or doesn't boot into recovery, and I want to install some custom rom's onto it. there is no safestrap and I don't want it.
So, how to put the stock or any other recovery on this phone so I can add new roms???

ok. my next addition/question is: will Surge's full wipe and/or pit file bring back the stock recovery so I can start over? this phone is cracked to now run on MetroPCS/T-mobile sytem and I don't want to go back to vzw.
So, will the pit file bring back my recovery... it does not have ANY recovery at all on the phone. here's the pit file I'm referring to: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319199111
thanks.
edit
Even if I wanted to put safestrap on this phone, there is not any type of recovery in it to use to install safestrap or any other rom or recovery on it.
I have tried odin and it says it worked but will not boot into recovery, it goes directly to download mode. the phone runs, boots and has wifi, data, etc.
I want to know before I go into this if the pit file will work and not mess up things or should I try the entire process? The phone is working but NO RECOVERY IS INSTALLED ON IT AT ALL. (needed to emphasize this fact).
thankz again

If all you are looking to do is install safestrap then you can just towelroot/superSU/BusyBox/safestrap. If you mean recovery mode, as in holding down the power, home, and volume up buttons when booting up the phone, I'm not sure how to get that back on if its missing.

Seems to me you had MDK boot loader and custom recovery prior. And that you have blindly flashed the full NC5 build updating everything including your boot loader to a nice new shiny LOCKED one. If the boot loader is NC5 you get to join the Safe Strap club.

The phone is rooted... and I mean recovery mode, as in holding down the power, home, and volume up buttons when booting up the phone.
I was on 4.3 then got the OTA update and tried to flash it back. it crashed the phone. Ii was stuck in download mode, and i flashed via Odin the NC5 full wipe on this forum then later rooted the phone. I tried to install Philz touch, but it crashed or froze up during the process... and viola!! NO RECOVERY WHATSOEVER IS ON THIS PHONE.
When I try holding down the power, home, and volume up buttons when booting up the phone, it goes straight to download mode no matter what button combination i use.
I don't care about stock or any warranty... that's over and I had this phone converted from Vzw to MetroPCS already.
I tried safestrap before and I don't like it. I need to somehow replace or install a recovery so I can put a rom into it. and I don't have to use safestrap if i can put twrp or something else into it. So, it is open for custom roms and i'm looking at SlimKat to install on this phone. Now, if somebody has a tar file I can flash with Odin... then it's all good.

If there was a way to go back from NC5, there would be a lot of happy people around here, but there isn't. Having recovery mode makes no difference because your on NC5 now. You can't flash TWRP, you can't flash CWM, Safestrap is it.

Download the stock recovery and flash it using flashify.
I did the same thing you did with a S5 because I didn't know about the boy loader issues and thought I had bricked it because it would only boy into download mode. But after turning it off for a few seconds I saw that it was able to bout into the stock rom. Luckily I made a backup of the stock recovery with flashify and flashed it back and it was fine.

So, are you saying to use Surge's full wipe and pit files and I can get back my stock recovery? or is there a link to what you are talking about? hook me up with that link.
I do not have any backups and I an get flashify no prob. but I am not sure it will work as you indicated.
how about Heimdall? will it work and do the things Odin isn't doing? I haven't used the program but have a copy of the files on my PC. I need a little guidance before I kill this phone forever.
l. tried flashify and rom installer... flashify says it found and backed up my stock recovery, but when I try to flash it back it says success and reboot. then it still goes into download mode and the little red letters say unable to do normal boot.
I can get back to normal boot and the phone runs. I tried the buttons to get into recovery mode, and it still goes to download mode. I also tried to flash twrp with rom installer and it also says successful but the same results>>> download mode only. WTF!!?
I seem to need a tar file for all of this to work and most of the roms are zip files except Surge's files. anybody have a link to tar files with the recoveries in it?
As has already been stated in this thread , if you're on the nc5 bootloader, you can't flash twrp or cwm or any other custom recovery. Even if you get the stock recovery back, it won't matter. SS is you're only option. There are a million posts on this issue. There are a number of custom roms that you can run, most are TW based though.
Hey whats up the easiest way to install this is an app called Flashyify in play store works great im unlocked without using adb. Let the roms begin. Thanks for the hard work that everyone put in. Just put twrp image on phone before you open flashyify and open and install and recovery will be installed
flashify rocks
This took less than 5 minutes to do using Flashify.
Thanks for the heads up.
Works wonder. Thanks for reminding me about this. I got use to not flashing anything for a while lol...
confirmed. flashed with flashify first try. nothing fishy. GOOD FIND! :good:
worked :good

yes that's correct
I installed recovery, on my phone last night, using adb. I just installed it, on my wife's phone, using Flashify. Flashify is, hands down, the easiest way to do it. Not that adb is hard, is just that Flashify is stupid simple.
Worked perfectly for me.

Remember guys the first set of commands is only to backup stock recovery so they don't have to be done,kinda up to you..Basically Flashify knows which file IMG,zip, and will apply for you super easy guys..
I used flashify. Before installing new twrp recovery I backed up stock recovery. Md5 of new file is 906b26d6968765783ab6006e9b96a698
And md5 of stock recovery was 32789a9ca54ef2ede59c523959213d03
I did a nandroid backup in twrp with compression. Completed fine. I also backed up boot with flashify. Md5 for that was 258c075d31749a7e2e837ef0009598b3

The BEST way to do it is to flashtool zv4. Root and unlock it.
As for rooting zva-e, there are procedures linked in the thread. Unlocking the boot loader are there too, I believe. Doing it this way may cause issues. So I all depends how much work you want to go through.
Personally, just use ZV4, root/unlock. Then flash modem and whatever ROM you want.

And that's just stock? Straight from flashtool? That shouldn't happen unless you wiped something out trying to do the laf partition.

I appriciate your help! Yes, the phone restores just fine using flashtool with the ZV4 .tot file, but once it reboots it wont make it past the LG logo bootup screen. One time it made it all the way into the OS, and went through the activation process, then powered itself off. Now it wont reboot past the second animated LG logo.

And that's just stock? Straight from flashtool? That shouldn't happen unless you wiped something out trying to do the laf partition.

I should also mention that sometimes when restoring the .tot with Flash Tool, it powers itself off in the middle of it and just keeps booting into download mode. It always happens anywhere between 30-60% when it says SYSTEM in the progress log. Could it be that my phones internal memory that stores that information is bad?
