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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm currently on 11c rooted with TWRP and want to take OTAs to get up to lollipop - I don't really care about custom roms. I found graffixnyc's recovery switcher for doing this, so I went hunting for the 11c recovery image, but the reference page here doesn't have a recovery listed for 11c. Does that mean 11c uses the 10b recovery?
I don't know the answer to your question, but I was just wondering if you would consider dirty flashing the 12B KDZ (use Normal mode instead of CSE in LG Mobile Tool 2014), then you can OTA to 23B and still keep your data if that's your main aim. You'd have to reroot, however, once on Lollipop, if that's what you want. Then you'd have to downgrade the aboot.img (bootloader) to 12B's in order to flash TWRP back on it.

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.

Technically you can 'update' from 23A, but it's a KDZ so you will lose all data on your internal storage.

I rooted via this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
I used the Windows drivers here (half-way down the page): http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-VS985-Metallic-Black
I loaded Verizon upgrade assistant and it says I have an upgrade available even though I have 23A loaded on my phone. In the version column, it says 23A. Does mean that's the upgrade or what is on my phone already.

I'd have to see it myself to be able to tell you. What I can tell you is that the 23C_01 KDZ has at least some different files than the 23C "OTA" leak we were using on here.
So if you're on the 23C that was available before the last 24 hours, it's not the same 23C. Similar, not identical.

Will I be able to tell the difference between the two when it's loaded on the phone?

I doubt if you'd be able to see the difference, but there's definitely technical differences. Example: the 23C_01 modem.img is 7 MB smaller than the one from the 23C leak we had.

If you was one of those who root their devices by using KingRoot App and would like to remove kinguser and related files, you can replace it with the well known SuperSU.
I have made a small script to remove Chinese kingruser, all related files and folders, and install SuperSU.
This script will do all the work for you without using PC, just by terminal, first of all, thanks to chainfire for his SuperSU files.
Before starting :
Download and install Terminal emulator appDownload and unzip "Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip" fileSteps :
Send the extracted folder "mrw" to the internal storage of your device and make sure that this folder contains 4 filesOpen Terminal emulator and type :
Su
Allow root permissionType :
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
It might display some error, at the end it will launch supersu or open supersu manually.Update su binary normal, then reboot.Done !
YT video link :*http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6IgvVRt3ak
Notes :
The extracted folder must be in /Phone/ or you will need to change cmd.This script must work for all devices*waiting tester.You might need to update SuperSu after rebooting your device.*Please let me know the model of your device, if it worked for you.Check this post also,

I can confirm this guide has 100% worked. Verizon LG G3 VS98535B. After the script was executed in the terminal I received an error stating com.kinguser has stopped. The error continues to pop up even after hitting the "ok" button several times but a reboot of my device removed the error. I used RootChecker to verify I still had root privileges and as expected, I do so thanks to @lox2013 for the guide and the script. Flawless.
Woooow exelent.. Info thanks...
Flash TWRP? AutoRec?

I still haven't looked to see if @bender_007 has updated his autorec for 35B. He had to update it for 24B when it came out, so I would expect the same to be true for 35B. Not sure how to go about getting TWRP installed and working on 35B.
I would need a tester for this. Weird things happen so for now don't install it on 35A/B
If someone isn't afraid of 'toting' back to stock without visible download mode etc... Contact me

What @bender_007 said ^. Since you're rooted, install TWRP using his autorec app for 24B, give it root permissions, it'll automatically back up your current recovery so it'll seem frozen for maybe 10-30 seconds, push the button to install TWRP, then follow the instructions in each ROM thread for either @xdabbeb 's VS985 v2.0, @hsbadr 's JasmineROM 9.0+9.1 update, or @Holy Angel 's SkyDragon v6.x to be rooted on 35B.

I KDZ to 35B rooted with this method(which worked) and tried benders 24B autorec and ended up with a totally black screen. Had to KDZ to 35 B blind and hope for the best, it worked out. So you can root 35B but no TWRP. Is there not a way to push TWRP with ADB since we can root it now? Just asking

That's why there's separate autorecs for 23C and 24B, because it needs updated for 35B. The person I was answering was on 24B.
The problem isn't installing TWRP. You can flash that all sorts of ways even on 35B, but there's other things that need done in order to be able to actually be able to get into it, and also to keep from soft bricking your phone. Has nothing to do with TWRP or flashing TWRP. If you push TWRP with adb that still won't change the other things that need changed. That's why @bender_007 made the autorec app, to be nice and take care of the details required at least since 23C.

Ah, sorry. It's confusing when you quote me but you're trying to tell other people. LOL. You're welcome!!! Good luck with the testing, hopefully he'll get with you soon. I would test it but I don't think I'll have time to rescue my phone if it soft bricks it.

Ya sorry about the quote of your post. Just putting it out there.
The App SuperSU Me is a much easier method to add SuperSU and remove Kingroot stuff.

I appreciate the work of the devs on that app but it took me 3 minutes to root and use this script to remove kingroot and replace with supersu. Maybe on other devices it is needed but I am sticking with something that I know works on our devices. Thanks for the heads up, maybe it will help someone down the road. And a huge thanks to the OP for this script.
Wondering if a custom ROM could be flashed through the stock recovery if it were to be renamed to update.zip? The first GalaxyS obtained root in that method.
