CWM backup for Unbricked , rooted AT&T for SU640 ?

I was thinking, so many people have reportedly been successful unbricking, rooting , stocking AT&T... why not upload a CWM backup of the combination ?
I suggest this because I have been doing the unbricking over n over again for past 5 days, and have been getting stuck at different steps (i am following ditto text as mentioned in the post and I am not new to rooting and stuff) . There will be more people like me too.
Givien the backup image, anyone can flash v10f using LG tools, root it, install CWM by using dd or cat to mmcblk0p13 , reboot into CWM... restore the working CWM backup of rooted AT&T , flash a custom ROM and enjoy
Thanks.

[Q] Root without installing custom recovery g3??

I can see from the questions that you can flash SuperSU and get root without installing a custom recovery on the One Mini but is this possible to do on the LG G3?
I've searched and I can't come up with anything.
I want to root simply to remove apps so I don't want to install CWM/TWRP as having a custom recovery annoys the HELL out of me. I don't understand why a custom recovery is needed? Can't the one that comes with the phone do everything those can?
IMO, they are just there cause they look prettier. LOL
Anyway, I have the T-Mobile G3. I had it rooted but unrooted to install latest update (that was hell, turned out my drivers were not updated). I used PurpleDrake last time but it installed TWRP and as I said, I don't want TWRP.
Any ideas?

Good question! Bumping this for you as I'm interested too!

I have the T-Mobile G3 as well. I rooted and got Supersu way before installing TWRP! It's possible. TWRP is a custom recovery that allows you to backup your entire phone (including software) in case you make a mistake. It also allows you to "flash" things to your phone. It has a lot of features and is needed to install a custom ROM or update that custom ROM.
You don't need it, but I would suggest it highly. The ability to backup everything is a must when you're doing something to your phone. It essentially prevents you from bricking your phone -- which I did. However, I made a full backup before deleting everything, so all I did was go into TWRP and undo the bricking by restoring a backup.
You can root your phone without a custom recovery. Then you can go into the play store and download SuperSu, then you can download Titanium Backup to remove the bloatware. A custom recovery isn't needed for any of this.

[Q] Root + Recovery question

Hello,
I always had a HTC, so I'm kind of a new with rooting and unlocking an LG.
I have a LG D855 international and I have been reading a lot in this forum and I think that I've figured it out. But I just wont to be sure.
So if I'm right than I can root my phone by running purpledrake. When I've done that I have to install SU.
But if I understand it correcly the only way to get twrp is with" Bump'ed TWRP" so it's only possible to have TWRP if I use a custom rom?
So it's not possible to have orig Rom an TWRP? Right?
But If I just root my phone with purpledrake, so without installing TWRP and without custom Rom, I would still be able to use EXPOSED? RIght?

Yes Purple Drake is currently the most reliable root method, once you have root you need to install the SuperSU app of your choice.
Don't confuse yourself with Bump! Just accept that this is the only recovery that works with the G3 and install it then use it like normal. You will only be able to flash custom kernels (and roms with custom kernels) after they have been bumped, this is something the developer will do for you not anything for you to be concerned with, and fairly soon (when this method is released) all custom roms and kernels you find on xda will be pre-bumped - so basically you can treat the recovery like you always have done.
Xposed is nothing to do with recovery and everything to do with having root access.

Does this recovery back up my stock rom safely? I'm hesitant to use it because I've never heard of bump.

Nope, afaik, once on bumped twrp, u can't restore stock recovery. For that you will again have to flash the stock KDZ.

OK so it's only for bumped roms. Thank you

The user above you is wrong and didnt read your question properly.
You CAN back up your stock ROM, just install bump, head to recovery and do a backup - you will never get stock recovery back though, unless you flash a KDZ with Flashtool.
But yes you can use TWRP to back up your currenty stock ROM.

Okay I get it the only way to restore the rom that I backed up is to add bump to it! ok I got it but in order to get back my stock phone I'm going to have to use the LG flash tool right

Thanx a lot.

[Q] Ok this is doing my head in.. LG G3 L5.0 rooted install

Rito guys,
I have used IOS for the past many years and bought a LG G3 855 (australia 16g, this is the international on yea?) 2 days ago.. I quickly found a website that guided me through the LG Flash tool method of updating to the leaked L version D85519H_00 and away I go! Now what I didn't realize is and as this website explains http://www.androidpit.com/lg-g3-android-update that rooting the device is nye impossible now...
SO, after more and more searching around I have found I needed to flash back to kitkat 4.4.2 and then do a TWRP backup thingy from this install method of a modded/rooted L http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-lollipop-rooted-rom-skin1980-t2936022 then install the rom through recovery? I have had no luck (mainly because I don't what half of the terminology means) doing the modem/backup with TWRP to begin with as most methods need the device rooted (which I can't do now after my first install of L5.0..)
Can anyone clearly paint a picture for me on the steps needed to achieve rooted L5.0?
OR
Is it worth keeping the L5.0 leak version (non rooted) and when LG releases their official version just do a software update and wait for someone to figure out how to root that? (I'm assuming here I can just do a software update on top of the leaked version to upgrade to the LG official here?)
Cheers and thanks for your time guys I'm super excited to be an android user now and no idea what I wasn't sooner!

We need to have Android 4.4 KK
Installation:
1. We must do ROOT -
2. Next, you install TRWP
3. We go into Recovery (TRWP)
4. Recovery enter the Wipe and enable - Cache, Data, and we do wipe Dalvik
5. Wipe Exit tab
6. We are entering a Instal
7. We are looking for our files and install one after the other (without rebooting):
1. ROM
2. SuperSU
8. REBOOT SYSTEM
I think I understood everything
L 5.0 + root http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/stock-t2961073
Sorry for my english

Hey thanks for your fast reply!
Your instructions look spot on for a normal situation but as I mentioned at the start I can not root my device since I installed the leaked L5.0 version, apparently it makes it a lot harder to do..
Also I should mention I can't get MTP working so it makes it even harder to do the TWRP backup without rooting the device first.

This is the only option at this time to have root on 5.0

Flash 4.4.2 KDZ. Root it. Install twrp, etc etc etc.

Yeah mate your best bet would be to use the LG Flash Tool 2014 (Readily available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190 ) to flash back your Android 4.4.2 KitKat ROM if you want to root it, since without using a custom kernel and then flashing a custom recovery that supports that rooted kernel, we can't yet achieve vanilla root on Android L. Make sure if you flash back an older ROM you do it via CSE (CSE wipes all data on the phone, used for major upgrades, but a normal flash just attempts to update the system and keep your data, useful for small software updates).
Your other option would be to do as NZfoR said above and flash back down to 4.4.2, and then re-flash the already rooted and bumped ROM and kernel he linked you to, therefore giving you root on Android L.
That being said, although we can't get one yet, we've got the best devs in the world here on XDA, so it won't be long before someone finds a bug in the boot-loader that allows us to achieve permanent root (In fact I believe that someone already has and is just working on a way to exploit it).
We've also got the best community here, if you need help for pretty much anything regarding Android and specifically your G3, there's always at least 1 person here who knows how to solve it, so ask questions!
Good luck, you won't regret coming over to the sweet-side of mobile phones

Cheers guys! I had tried downgrading to kk 4.4.2 and tried to stumproot but it said my software had been patched SBD could not be rooted. Like I said I think installing the leaked L5.0 its changed something making it harder to root now..
I'm finding it hard to do the TWRP backup 1. I don't even know what it does or how to do it 2. I've had 2 days android experience haha... Keen to teamspeek or Skype call iDefalt?

Twrp on 21r lollipop update

Hate to make a new thread but couldn't find an answer in any other ones. I'm rooted D850 running latest lollipop from att 21r update. How can I install twrp without getting the security error on lg screen? This security error stops os and recovery from booting. I tried using twrp manager already.

Have you already tried pushing the 2.8.7.0 bumped version of recovery via adb?...
TWRP 2.8.7.0 for LG G3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966129

you just don't want to listen or to let people help you
Why isn't twrp manager working ?
- We used bump to "sign" our kernel and recoveries to the bootloader see them as legit.
That was on kitkat. What do we do now? We downgrade the bootloader to kitkat bootloader, we use bumped recoveries and kernel.
So by using twrp manager TWRP will NOT work for you, but you will be still able to boot.
- Why didn't autorec work for you ?
IT DID. You had twrp but it couldn't boot since your system wasn't bootable with the "less recent" kernel provided in autorec.
-How can we fix it ?
1. download flashify(you have to be rooted)
2. click backup kernel -> and let it upload to dropbox
3. send me the link
4. wait 10 minutes, I upload autorec d850 21R(which then will work also on lower versions)
PROFITS:
-you don't make 10 threads
-you help other people out
-you don't get a unbootable android
CONS:
-none

I pm'd you bk but never got a response so I just figured something out for myself, which wasn't any of the methods I was told or saw.

I answered you to send me a backup of your kernel. So we can also help other people.
Other thing that would work is simple flashing any custom d850 kernel.
EDIT: nevermind, I'll find it somewhere else.
