I might end up switching over to here from the Galaxy S3 within the next few months and I'm concerned on the bootloader/root status. As of the latest OTA that's been pushed, would this still work to flash custom ROMs and if it does, do I literally just have to follow the thread and I'm running(for example) the latest CM12 nightly? Thanks!

Yes but I believe you'd first need to downgrade to 10b and then root in order for this to work.
What he said. And we don't have root for Lollipop on our phone yet, but some developers here are working on it. You have to downgrade to 10B and root using Stump, then you can re-upgrade to 12B, which is the latest official stock LG version of Android on our phones. Lollipop is expected to officially drop on our phone anytime from a minute from now until the end of 2015. :\
We have a leak of the 23A build of Lollipop for our phone. I like it despite not being able to keep root when upgrading, for now. 23B, according to the open source code released by LG, will be the actual official Lollipop for us.
I came from the S3, too. I loved the phone, but got bored. I haven't regretted it, I love the G3 even better. The camera is awesome, I love how it feels. The first Android phone that I haven't wanted a case for.

The answer depends on what you're looking for. If you want to have a phone with a custom recovery on it, with or without root, then yes we have that and can flash ROMs like crazy under KitKat 4.4.2, make nandroids, flash kernels and even an older modem if you like, etc. Under Lollipop, there's no way to do anything at all until we get a hold of the full ROM KDZ file that they can extract and modify to make flashable, rooted Lollipop ROMs.
I'm liking how smooth stock LG Lollipop is, though, and LG's built-in backup option under 4.4.2 and 5.0.1 make having a clean flash of 4.4.2 and manual upgrade to 5.0.1 even less painful than restoring with Titanium Backup because LG's backup is extremely fast, includes data and also includes the system data although I have yet to see (shortly) just how much system data is restored from an older ROM to a newer one, since it warns that not all system data might be restored when having backed up under an older ROM.
FYI, technically, I think the bootloader is still locked, however they have this thing called bump which evidently tricks the phone into still accepting flashes of non-official ROMs, by way of having a "bumped" version of TWRP installed, which can be done straight from Flashify in the Play Store as soon as you root using Stump brute force under 10B (an older LG stock ROM), reboot, install SuperSU, have it install/update the binary and reboot once more.
Then you can use @autoprime's Flash2 zip files in TWRP to flash the boot.img, modem.img and system.img of stock 12B if that's what you want, and then flash the latest SuperSU.zip, or whatever ROM you want. Sorry if I'm repeating some of what I had already said before.
Good luck, whatever way you decide.

So, I am getting an LG G3 tomorrow.
I already looked up how to downgrade it to 10B, root with Stump or Ioroot, and use Bump! to install TWRP. (Unless the software it comes with will be rootable, but I doubt it. If I am wrong, please let me know!) I obviously don't know everything there is to know, and may have missed some things.
Once I have it rooted.
I upgrade it via OTA keeping root with SuperSU's survival mode.
And it should stay rooted?
Then I use Bump! to flash TWRP into it, or can I do that before and update? I am just getting this phone and I really don't want to mess it up.
Downgrading and rooting it will be no issue, but I am unsure whether I use Bump! to install TWRP before or after updating it OTA.
Or if I should even update it at all and wait until developers say it's okay on the latest software as of Dec. 13th.
I checked around for a good thirty minutes and did not find a clear answer, I am hoping someone can directly clear this up.
I know updating a phone OTA while trying to keep root isn't the smartest thing to do, but if it works then I have the latest software and it's also a rooted device.
Also, the latest software I saw was 12D? Is that it, or is it 11C? I am confused on how the updates are (in the sense of which ones are out for this phone/coming out soon).
In simplicity/TL;DR:
(I did read about my issue, but could not find anything so I asked here!)
Once I downgrade to 10B and root my G3, is it safe to update OTA and keep root? (With SuperSU Survival Mode I'd assume.)
If so, should I flash TWRP with Bump! before or after the updates?
- If after, what should I do? Reflash completely back to 10B?
What is the latest released update for the G3 (Verizon - VS985)?
- Is there a new update coming soon?
Do the updates actually help the phone performance and fix issues without me doing anything to improve performance and fix issues myself?
Thanks!

What is the latest released update for the G3 (Verizon - VS985)?12b
- Is there a new update coming soon?unlikely anyone can answer this
Do the updates actually help the phone performance not really and fix issues other than lag im not sure what needs to be fixed without me doing anything to improve performance and fix issues myself? for the most part, you will need to tweek and mod yourself to improve performance and fix issues such as lag

One more thing...
When I am updating and another software update is released, I will have TWRP flashed.
Updating it will cause a bootloop.
How can I prevent that?
Using titanium backup (TiBU) or similar program, freeze the app called "System updates 1_...". For me this has worked, though some people seem to still have issues; I'm trying to figure out if it is a TiBU problem or if they have accidentally frozen the wrong thing.
Alternative is to go to /system/app and rename the two LGDMSClient files, add a .bak to the end of the names, then restart.
See this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56061720
Copy the zip in the first post onto your phone. If you accidentally do get an ota after you have a custom recovery, tell twrp to Install that zip
file. It will flush the ota from your system, so you aren't such buying to recovery.

You DO know that you can downgrade back to 10b to root and bump, correct? Just use KDZ or TOT files.
That was one of the other things I researched before getting this phone. Luckily, it came with 10B, but I'm on 12b, rooted and bumped.
Yes thanks. Just preparing everything. I had LG usb driver issue,resolved now with latest from LG. Now downloading 10b TOT. Too many years getting comfortable rooting HTC 's lol.

I know the feeling. For the past 3 three years, I was on Motorola phones, so there was a lot of FXZ files and fastboot flashing for me. Switching to LG meant learning that all over again.

That I don't know about, since the two tools to flash the TOT and KDZ files are windows based.
Not sure if you could get them to run via Wine or something, but that might be an option, but since it also requires all the drivers and such, I have no idea how/if that would work and wouldn't even know how to start to set that up.
On motorola phones, you could use the fastboot command line tool that comes with the Android SDK and drivers, so that was nice.
But to take the TOT and KDZ files and flash them under Linux, I have no idea.
I got my phone on 11b, and downgraded it.
Used the Stump root, and then I used Bump! to install TWRP.
Forgot to do the updates, oh well another day.
They're not that important., right?
It's often handy to update modem, to pick up any enhancements on the rf side, the sw that actually talks to the cell tower.
I also ended up updating to the 11c boot, and the 12b system. IMG. 12b system picks up Verizon's first VoLTE, what they call Advanced Calling 1.0.
I did the above by using autoprime's flash2xxx zip files, and the .IMG files.

Advanced calling does nothing for me because I believe it's an extra charge on your bill for it. Forget that!
AC 1.0 is no added charge. HD voice is billed the same as any other call. The video part of a video call gets booked against your data plan (I'm grandfathered Unlimited), and free if it goes over WiFi.

This is the second G3 I have purchased. I Suggest using one click root to root. Also stop and Phil's can be flashed using flashing. It seems easier to me dealing with image rather than zip. I've foremost roms and so far my experience has me favoring Bliss Pop. That is what I am running now and to be honest I think I'm going back to 10b. The customizations are nice but to me it's not worth the problems associated with L.P. My opinion Bliss Pop has the best handle on the problems and still too much for me. I'm going to give LP a few months for the developers fix all bugs. Verizon hasn't released LP yet and there is reason behind that other than being big bully carrier. Once again my opinion only. You picked a great phone that is for sure!
i got my g3 in mail today. looks a great phone in hand. just make sure this is the proper thing i m going to do to flash some rom. current software build is 11c. it needs to downgrade to 10b with kdz method. stump root then. install twrp recovery with flashify. then i could pick any rom i like to flash? is there anything wrong or i missed? anything i need to take care during flashing rom?
thank you for the advice.
Sounds about right.
Unless you want to run plain stock for some reason, then don't use the kdz to downgrade. I downgraded using the stock 10b, rooted and then took each OTA making sure SU had keep root checked. I have a rooted stock 11C nandroid just in case I want it. Just a thought.

downgrading with the kdz method you'd still be able to update by flashing the stock rooted 11c & 12b and the appropriate modem.

Sure but you wouldn't be able to take an OTA which some people like to do. Plus, can you get the VoLTE update on the VZW model? Not sure.
Anyway, to not have to worry about flashing separate modems, it's not really a huge deal to downgrade with the stock files.
Either way works which is why Android rocks. Options!
My apologies for this question if it's already been asked/answered, but I couldn't seem to find it in the forums via search.
I have dealt with Samsung and HTC devices in the past, so my LG "knowledge" is a bit limited...
My wife has a Verizon G3. I was able to achieve Root and Bumped TWRP on it. I forget (offhand) what version OS her phone is currently at, though I believe it's in the 12 range. (I will get this tonight). She's not one for liking custom ROMs, but I wanted the option just in case.
Now that there is the Lollipop "official" OTA out there in some way/shape/form, is there a specific thread that I can go to in order to get her updated to Lollipop "official?" If I'm reading/thinking correctly, I would have to either get rid of TWRP and go back to stock Recovery (somehow), then flash the OTA and re-Bump if so desired, OR wait for someone to take the official Lollipop and Bump it. Is that correct? Also, is the official OTA called VS98523A ?

Correct. Also, since you are bumped, if/when it comes as an OTA, you will not be able to apply it. TWRP cannot apply official OTAs. You would have to either revert back to full stock (10b) or get the original recovery images and flash them back to get rid of TWRP. I don't know how to do the latter. I do know how to go back via the TOT or KDZ method. TOT is the way to go though because the 10b KDZ image is not an official release of the 10b version for the G3, so it cannot take OTAs.

Hey everyone,
I was able to root my LG G3 with the help of the XDA forms so I figured maybe someone could help me out here. I am running the STOCK Verizon Rom that came with the phone. I wanted to know if there is a customer kernal I can install to improve battery life and/or if anyone knows the good Tricker Mod settings to set up so the battery life improves, that would be helpful as well.

Besides using the root method @quadjacks linked to below, just wanted to make sure you know that in order to root 24B, you have to come from a string of at least two OTAs. In other words, if you at any time flashed the 23C KDZ, then after you take the 24B OTA, you won't be able to root the phone, at least that's our experience.
You will be able to root it (not using the one-click but the one @quadjacks links to) if you flash the 12B KDZ, then OTA to 23C, then OTA to 24B.

I'm aware of that, too - I posted the link to it, but I haven't had the inclination to flash it and try rooting after. I won't be surprised since the first method I mentioned in the previous message, flashing the 23C KDZ and taking the OTA, then trying to root, didn't work myself and several others that it won't work for me with flashing the 24B KDZ directly, but I'm just speculating. I'm sure I'll attempt it again when I have a need to reset to completely stock unrooted again unless by that time I'm in too much of a hurry to take another new OTA that may come and try to root that first.

I was able to root after flashing the 24B KDZ. The root.bat did not work (hung on the installing root part). But I was able to do option 2 and manually push the files and install root with one minor change. The first time I ran the Send_Command to push root it hung, I did a ctrl-C on it then ran it again right after and it went through. Then I did the send_command reboot and the phone rebooted and was rooted when it came up. I did this a couple of times and had the same results every time, first send_command would hang and I had to break out of it (ctrl-c) the send_commands after that worked fine. Not sure why that is but that is what worked for me. Just wanted to share in case anyone is having the same problem.

Need to check if I have the 24B...... and Thanks!!
I spent the greater part of the evening trying to root my LG G3 VS985 unsuccessfully, but I don't recall if it is the 24B. I got it off eBay to upgrade my current RazrHD which is hopelessly underpowered - but it is rooted, and didn't want to lose my unlimited data plan on VZW. Need to mark this thread for all the helpful comments.
The methods of rooting I tried were the One-Click, both the gui and the CLI script with similar results of hanging trying to "see" the device, I tried PurpleDrake, but I think it is for a different LG or android version, and there was one other method that I got from a link either here on XDA or another android forum, but all seemed to have the same problem - once you connect the phone, it initially tries to connect to the device, but never succeeds, just keeps you waiting for the root push to start, but it never does. I was using a Win-7 PC and laptop, switching back and forth to see if I could get one of them to work........ Of course, I have the developer option enabled and turned on the USB debugging. I really like this LG G3 and want to get this thing rooted!!
The other root method I tried was ioroot; I checked my folders. Further reading seems to indicate I may be SOL unless I want to wait for someone to figure it out; oh, yeah, and I tried towelroot as well, but it only tells me my device is not supported........I plan to try one more root method - stumproot, and see if it can bruteforce it. If not, will be a sadder day.......

On the plus side, since I have the 32GB version/model, it has 3GB RAM which I confirmed, and even though I have a ton of junky bloat stuff running that I can't currently stop, the phone is running like a champ.
Doesnt work

Just to present another option, in the Play Store, search for:
Code:
autorec VS985
It'll install TWRP v2.8.6.x and downgrade your bootloader, which you can then update TWRP to the latest from within the "old" version.

I can get into twrp.... just cant boot to system. I'm really dont want to have to KDZ back. Thanks
I used autorec to flash twrp on my 24b LP VZW G3. That was successful. Then booted to recovery...made a backup... then flashed twrp 2870 img, then booted recovery... then booted system and it went to LG bootlogo with Security Error message.
I'd really love to get this straightened out if possible. Would appreciate any advice and help.

I apologize for the misinformation! I realized earlier after reading what some others had said that in all the testing I had done regarding 24B that I had actually NOT run autorec on 24B, or at least not *just* autorec. To fix your phone, download and flash JasmineROM 8.0. If you felt adventurous, all you really need out of the JasmineROM 8.0 zip is the bootloader (aboot.img) and possibly the kernel (boot.img) too. The changes to the bootloader and possibly the kernel too are what get rid of the security error with TWRP installed.
I rooted my Kyocera with Kingroot, worked well. Wasn't to keen on some of the files it was adding and found I couldn't unroot with Kingroot built in feature. So I then found I could use SuperSu-Me to rid myself of Kingroot and purchased. It removed Kingroot and I am still unable to uninstall root so that I can upgrade to lollipop. All I get is software update failed. Any suggestions. I even did a factory reset and phone is still rooted. I have not tried any install and custom roms.
Did you ever fix this?
OTA uptate to lolipop bricked my phone... I was able to find a Rooted 5.1 rom to rescue it. But like you, I cannot remove root and all future update attempts keep failing...
Did you try to flash a stock 5.1 rom on your rooted 5.1 rom? That should allow to get back to normal upgrade (back in time, it usually worked, still I am not aware of latest android pains regarding that matter)

I am not sure you need it to be verizon to just be able to leap to "future" android version, unless this version is only available via kies from your PSP/carrier.
flashing any stock rom might work. Alternative would be to find an unrooted kernel for your android version of a rooted but else stock ROM (as some people do as they like TW experience but with the added benefits of root). But they are just guesses, I wish someone with more technical know-how would join, I just talk from past experiences, not from current ones, so it might have changed.

this phone may have been carrier specific to Verizon...
I did find some custom roms for marshmallow and nougat. But that's totally new territory for me to learn how to put those ones on and of course no updates. 5.1 is as far as the Brigadier went officially. This was not a common phone so it's support and information for it is scarce

This is the update it keeps asking me to install , and it keeps failing . I suppose if anybody had a fully updated ROM for the Brigadier that would be useful solution...

Do you have xposed installed? Sometimes that can cause problems.
I do not, I am going to attempt to put TWRP on and then flash the Super SU Binary so that I can run FlashFire.
Lots a learning lol
Locked bootloader. You can run TWRP from adb but you cannot permanently flash it to the device.
I rooted with Kingroot and updated my phone. It was on 4.4.2 1.102vz. My phone boots up but screen goes blank after the Kyocera screen. I powers it off one time but it was luck. I can boot it into stock recovery. I would like to flash the 5.1 ROM to it and beagle to use it. I do not know how to flash a ROM to the phone since it does not have fast boot. Can anyone assist me? The phone was new and never used too. Was going to be a great phone for me at work. I have rooted before and took a ota and I only risked loosing root. But that was with Droid phones. That is where I have more experience in.
