I received the OTA ZVC update last week and was currently rooted and had TWRP installed at the time. I reflashed the stock rom using the LG Flash tool and went through three updates to eventually wind up at Kitkat, when I was using the stock ZVA rom I was able to use IORoot 25 to root my phone and then use FreeGee to install TWRP later on. Now that I'm on ZVC Official I can still use IORoot25 to root my phone but can not seem to get a custom recovery to stick, anybody else figure this out?
You need a downgraded aboot and kernel.

There's a new method to install twrp without breaking download mode , once you're on ZVC rooted with ioroot25, download the new app by @Cloudyfa http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51857807 which would install twrp and you will still be able to use download mode if you have to!

Also, you can just flash the ZVC TOT. You don't need to flash an old TOT and work your way to current. I was on ZV7 rooted and went straight to ZVC TOT.

I just did what IORoot25 and the AutoRec. I'm with sprint and just got the phone. What can I do with this KK release? Can I install camera update or try out kernels? There seems to be no roms for this ZVC update.
So, I do I determine which kernel is patched to work with ZVC? since AutoRec is patched, there must be other patched Kernels out there. Just a noob right now.

KitKat just came out, developers are hard at work breaking things down so it is safe to flash. Lg did some things making it tougher and a lot of internal changes.
Kernel, only other available is furnace 2.0.

Does anyone know what to do once download mode is broken? I have progressed between the "stuck in recovery mode" problem, then the fastboot only problem, and now while getting download mode to actually show on screen instead of fastboot i have broken my download mode with fastboot-ing zvc files to the phone. Any ideas on getting this back in a programmable state? I'm on a windows 8.1 x64 machine.

Try the auto-rec for your model here on post 1,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
I'm on Sprint ls980, and no issues. This will fix boot, kernel, recovery, and download mode.
If you get white lines, us the fix @Cloudyfa has posted to get back. This puts you back to how it was before the program. No recovery and locked boot and stock kernel.

Can you tell my if it's possible to root the v20e version on a LG G3 smartphone?
No way to currently root lollipop on LG g3, you need to install rooted ROM, downgrade to kitkat, root and install TWRP recovery... Then install any of the rooted lollipop ROM.
everybody has waiting for working root

how i can install a custom rom.
Hey there,
I actually have an V10i rooted stock on my G3 (D855 version, rooted with Towelroot).
Can I upgrade it with the OTA V10n proposed, without losing the root ?
Anyone here have already did it ?
Tks for the answers.

No OTA will remove root or brick your phone if you have twrp installed
Flash 10n kdz and reroot using purpledrake

Many thanks !
Or flash any other version (V10A,B,C ...), then OTA to V10n and root.
Hey,
As the tittle says I can't update to lollipop when I go to update centre it says I am running the latest version when it is still 4.4.2, to make matters worse I can't root my G3 and install lollipop via a ROM I haven't tried with purpledrake yet but with both towel and stump root it says my phone isn't supported when I know it is because I had it rooted before and unrooted it to try get the lollipop update.
Any help?

@Harp00ner, just get hold of the appropriate LP firmware for your phone model and use the flash tool to update it. You can subsequently root your phone.. There are quite a few tools around for that.

just got my replacement phone and its has marshmallow installed on it. I have searched and can't find anyway to root it or downgrade it so I can root it. Any help will be great. I used Kingroot. it gives me root until I restart my phone. I tried to install twrp while rooted and doesn't work.
Hii... Just go to verizon( general) thread ..... There u will find a sub thread regarding how to downgrade 35b roms to 10b and install marshmallow .
First you have to downgrade it to 10b rom so that you can instal twrp.. After that flash marshmallow rom by xdabeb.... Which is rooted
