Used the one click script last night on stock 12b. worked great!
question. Now that I am rooted, I've been looking at threads about installing a custom recovery. Some info is old some new and I cant tell what's best so I figure I'll just ask. Sorry if the answer was staring me in the face in one of the threads. Can i install clockwork or twrp so i can backup my device and possibly start trying custom roms? I read stuff about Bump... and pre bumped roms but im unsure... any insight/explanation of whats going on would help. I'm coming from an older phone which, once rooted, was easy to load and switch between custom roms in clockwork.

Flashify from the Play Store, flash the recovery.img you extract from the latest TWRP zip with it.

One more thing... I noticed on the TWRP site that when i go to my device... vs985, it says that i must be rooted (OK) and vulnerable to "Bump"
If I just rooted my stock device with the above script and nothing else... am I 'vulnerable to Bump" ...just want to make sure I meet all the requirements before i try to install the recovery.
TIA

You're welcome!
Yep, you're fine. You can even use the TWRP Manager app from the Play Store to download and INSTALL it. I've tested it, its bump'd too.

Just to confirm...So is it now unnecessary to manually Bump! our phones since, from what I gather in your posts, using TWRP Manager or Flashify to flash the Bump'd TWRP performs the steps outlined in the Bump! guide?
Edit: Just read in another thread that the 12b update disables the ability to set our phones to Ethernet mode which the Bump! guide requires. Am I right in stating that, in order to get TWRP flashed, we have to either downgrade to 10b or use TWRP Manager/Flashify?
Wish I didn't have to learn a new process each time I switch devices unless, of course, it's a Nexus. Just made the jump from the 1st gen Moto X to the G3 so I'm making sure I know and understand what's necessary, what works, what doesn't, and what's possible.

If you're rooted already, just use Flashify or TWRP Manager to flash TWRP.

I never heard of that requirement. No downgrade necessary, period, if you're rooted.

Understood. Totally worth it, though. This is an awesome phone.
At least you're not asking about TWRP on the LG Pad 8.3 tablet. We have to downgrade the bootloader before using adb to write TWRP to the recovery partition.

[Q] Google Edition/Recovery Installation Issues

First off, thanks so much to anyone who helps me out here, Ive been trying to install the ROM below on my phone for many, MANY hours.
[ROM]KOT49H【4.4.3】AOSP Official Google Edition 【Verizon!】06-13-2014
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643031
I have:
SCH-I545
4.4.2
VRUFNC5
I managed to get it rooted but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the phone into a non stock recovery. every time I try, it goes into the stock recovery, even if I choose reboot recovery from rom manager. I tried flashing the rom from the stock recovery but that did not work. If someone could please point me in the right direction for a recovery program (loki) that will work with my phone I would really appreciate it.
Im hoping the problem isn't with the root but I havn't had any other issues. I downloaded:
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4
Im sorry if this is noob stuff but I used to do it all the time with my old DX and now I can barely get it rooted! (took hours) proper recovery is the next step toward a GPE ROM I hope. Thanks, a bunch, nap time

First off - did you read any of the stickies about our phone? Unless you are on the MDK bootloader, you cannot install a custom recovery nor can you install this rom. You must use Safestrap to load any custom TW rom - no AOSP or CM based roms at this time.

So basically your telling me I have to do the whole downgrade method if I want to do this? Or it's just not possible at this time? Thanks for the time.

It is possible to install this rom, you just have to use Safestrap.
This is how to install:
Note: SafeStrap doesn't work with encryption turned on (disabled by default). If you don't know if you don't have encryption on/your phone isn't a business phone (in which case you shouldn't be doing this!!!) then you most likely don't have encryption on!!
6. Use this app to change your SELinux mode to "Permissive" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux, this is required to use SafeStrap
7. Install SafeStrap 3.72 APK from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2448925, NOT 3.71 FROM THE VERIZON THREAD!!! Then click install in the SafeStrap App
8. Install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu and update your binaries
Then to enter safestrap while rebooting hit menu key, from there you can flash your rom.

This does not work with safestrap its said over and over in the thread that it will not work. I tried it anyway per what you said and it wont get past the boot animation. You have to have an mdk bootloader and be able to install custom recovery for this to actually work.

thank you for that, which is why I have not messed with safestrap..its one of the first things in the post. so I guess that brings me back to where I started. Do I need to use the down grade method? If I do will it even work? and can somebody please point me in the direction of a proper (loki) recovery that I can flash and will work with my hardware. Thanks
EDIT -
believe me when I say I wouldn't be asking if I hadn't checked hundreds of threads already.
in case it helps, the end goal here is to get the GPE ROM on my phone. I'm rooted with towel. Ive gone in so many circles at this point I need someone who actually has done it or knows what they are talking about. Thanks!!!

If I downgrade to MDK firmware (I believe you can with surges method??), then I will be able to do this, correct? (without dealing with safestrap) by "this" I mean of course, finding a different recovery and flashing the GPE ROM.
If you read the top you would know that I spent MANY hours, reading MANY different threads and sites, that is why I am in the help section now. I'm not exaggerating when I say I spent from 11PM last night until 6:30 this morning with only a few breaks. I've flashed and re-flashed a million different files trying to get the results I wanted (bricked several times) and nothing worked, so this is my last resort

Understood. The learning curve has been very steep, as the last time I did this stuff there was only one version of each phone, sbf's were still around (don't know if they are or not anymore but it's not what I have to use to unbrick now) etc. Thanks so much for the replies and ill keep my eyes open for solutions as they are developed. I WILL have google play edition on my phone someday, and I thank all the dev's ahead of time for their hard work!

If i managed to have a TWRP it means BL Unlocked?

Hi.
Just used Flashify ("Recovery image") to flash the "twrp-2.8.0.0_ls990-signed".
I can go into recovery.
Is it means that the device is Unlocked?

I just don't get that: Why i do not have the Bump?
At the "Bump! Unlock your G3...." they using adb commands in order to flash the twrp.
Maybe bc's i used Flashify it gave me ONLY twrp?
Now, can anyone please explain to me - How to get Bump if i have already the TWRP?
I having such a bad concentration and feels LOST with too much info'.
Since a left Apple, i had the S2 + S3 + Nexus 4 & now the G3.
Looks like in the G3 it much complicated than the others.

You have bump. Bump is the unlock method for this device. I also used flashify so trust me, you are unlocked if TWRP is installed. That being said, please read and follow instructions carefully and have a GOOD understanding of things before flashing anything to your phone. Otherwise, that's how bricks happen. Also, always remember, Google is your friend.
Sent from my Stump'd & Bump'd Sprint LG G3
Thanks for your replay.
So fortunately(4me) - as i have TWRP ... i already unlocked my device.
But the question is it "bumped" already? Bc's from what i read, to be Bumped i need to execute a commands via cmd.
I never did that...I just flashed the img file over Flashify.
Didn't flashed a modified Bumped file OR flashed a commands via cmd.
I ask that bc's i know that with Bump i can flash rom's without needed to wipe anything.
And it is a nice thing.
Tried to Hold Volume Down + Power & When seen the LG logo, keep holding Volume Down, release Power and quickly press it again.
But did not get any "Factory Reset screen".
Thank you.
Yes, you just flashed using flashify instead of adb to get to the same place. Any rom you flash must be "bumped" if it is not running the stock kernel.
O.K.
So i dont need to flash/push any file in order to have "bump" in my G3.
If i was managed to flash the twrp-2.8.0.0_ls990-signed.img ---> my G3 is "Bumped"?
And whenever i want to flash the zip of the Rom(or any img / any zip of an App) and i'm not running thestock kernel - it must be "bumped"?
Whenever i'm on the stock karnel i can flash anything?
Oh, and if i find something that is "not bumped" - how do i bump it?
Sorry - but never found any info' that explain that for "starters" in LG.
Thank you very much.

As a user, you won't be bumping anything. The developers will pre bump any ROMs that don't use stock kernels. You can flash any stock based ROM. All of this information is readily available here and accessible by searching. Again, please make sure you only flash ROMs that match your device model. Reading is fundamental.

Easiest way is to kdz back to 10b ,stump root add twrp
Using twrp manager app then flash SD or Jasmine Rom.
I just hard bricked doing it the adb way because I didn't have twrp at the time.
You have to downgrade the bootloader (aboot.img) to the one from 12B. You can get the file you need from the sticky .img repository (that sounds wrong) in the General section. I don't know the adb command off the top of my head to install it.

Hey everyone. How are you guys able to keep root with 5.1? After the update, towelroot didn't stick. Nor could I reinstall it. Supersu doesn't have access either. What do you guys recommend?
You have to re root.

I think someone said you have to use ADB to flash the new TWRP that is compatible with L on our devices and then flash SuperSU.
I just went back to 2.8.0.0 and it worked for me. Is there a newer version of TWRP?

It pretty easy to get root and TWRP. Here are the instructions, taken from another thread. (Do you guys even read this stuff?)
Credit to Foltz61.
1. Boot to bootloader.
2. Fastboot boot TWRP-L.img
3. Install supersu-2.49.zip (even though I didn't lose root)
4. Reboot back to system.
5. Reboot back to bootloader.
6. fastboot flash recovery TWRP-L.img.
7. fastboot reboot.
8. Boot to recovery and had TWRP
Thanks, I'll try it tomorrow. It's a bit hard to keep track of like 5 threads and 10 new pages in each thread each day.
Does it matter which SuperSU ZIP version we use? Chainfire website shows 2.46.

I was wondering the same thing. Could someone provide us with a link to a tested supersu-x.xx.zip so we may have it in one thread.
At this time it would be best to not flash twrp. Instead fastboot boot twrp.img then install beta.SuperSU. 2.49
Sent from my MT2L03 using XDA Free mobile app
Lollipop will check the recovery partition and if it isn't stock it will put it back. In order for TWRP to stick you must boot TWRP after you install to allow it to patch the lollipop rom. TWRP must not be read only or else it cannot install supersu nor patch.
You guys got a lot to learn, but this is good, because now maybe some of you will pick up some experience and grow while here on XDA
---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------
In addition, do not use TWRP from the official twrp website until Dees_Troy gets around to updating his personal device tree since they do not accomondate for the changes seen in Lollipop. You have been officially warned. Unless you like sweats, tears, and heartaches.

You may want to re-word this. TWRP works just fine on 35B.
Also, although not as easy, I recall reading one or two people possibly installing it some way on rooted 35B in a way that it worked without a secure boot error - I'd have to search to verify that though and I don't remember what they did to do so.
Dunno why you need a computer. I rooted my 35b without one.

Hello.
so you were rooted 24b, took the OTA to 35b.
did you down grade from 35b to 10/12, before kingroot to rooted 35b?
or did you go from 35b (system status modified) to kingroot to 35b rooted?
Thanks

Rooted 24b with TWRP recovery. Hooked it up to the computer and let the Verizon tool update it. Lost root, system still said modified. Then when King Root was available, it did that to get root on 35b. I also did the SuperSU script to get rid of King Root. Took maybe 5 minutes start to finish. No downgrading.

Anyone who had root and TWRP on a release prior to 35B and flashed a pre-rooted 35B ROM is using TWRP just fine. I've seen a few people say something about TWRP having to be made compatible with 35B and that's not the case. It works just fine with it. It's even easy to install, it just requires more work than simply installing TWRP to either/or actually be able to use it or keep your system booting, or both, I forget the exact experience.
As far as a way to install it in a working manner on 35B, as I said:

Pre-Rooted. Of course. They didn't take an OTA and lost root. I'm talking about Taking an OTA, losing root and having to re root and flash TWRP.

I figured that, but you asked where was the TWRP that was working on 35B. You're not alone, several people have asked about a version of TWRP that was compatible, or worked with 35B. For anyone who reads these questions and doesn't know any better, it makes it sound like the latest TWRP doesn't work on 35B, when in fact it does.

i dont see any reason i couldnt put twrp on rooted 35b the same way i did on the first L build.
i really dont see the point in doing it or posting about it though. you guys have a working method and that should be enough.
there was too much user error leading to confusion before, and there is no need for all that again when you have a more fail safe working method.

First, have you checked to see if @bender_007 has an updated autorec app made specifically for 35B in his thread in non-Verizon G3 General? I haven't checked or heard news lately. Don't install any that say they're for 23C or 24B.
Otherwise, the easiest way is to downgrade, re-root and install TWRP an easier way than possible under 35B. I recommend the 10B KDZ because you can still root it with the Stump app in brute force mode and just use TWRP Manager to install TWRP.

Flash 24B what? KDZ? No, you can't flash a KDZ with anything but LG's tools (including the hacked LG Flash Tools 2014. The all-in-one toolkit doesn't do anything that all the separately maintained methods don't do. It just gives a central location to all those individual tools, but you still would be using the same tools.

I don't know what you mean. What 24B TWRP? TWRP versions aren't specific to different LG builds. The TWRP v2.8.7.0 that works with 35B is the same one that works with 24B. The difference is the method of installing.
If the author of the all-in-one says that his tool will install TWRP fine on 35B, then that's between him and you. I don't use the tool so I can't tell you. That's a question better asked in his thread.
Oh alright yeah Idk if the all in one does or not I'd have ask.

Do you think even fast boot would work to push twrp on the device?

I thought this phone doesn't have fastboot.

Also, the problem isn't precisely installing TWRP, it's other things that need done in order to do so. Fastboot wouldn't make a difference.
