I rooted my g3 when I first got it, with towelroot. I don't have a recovery though so can't flash anything. I've searched and only see recoveries for other models.

We need the BL to be unlocked first in order to get a recovery such as TWRP.

Hello, I have the T-Mobile LG G3 D851 and I've been trying to find the best configuration. I came from a Nexus 5 that I would either run stock 5.x or CM 12. The CM12 for LG G3 is great but it doesn't have a good camera.
Anyway, I've come to enjoy the stock firmware that LG puts on these phones. So here's what I want to accomplish, however I feel I cannot find enough information to do it confidently.
I would like the have TWRP installed with Stock Lollipop 20b, with root.
Can I just bump a TWRP image and use flashify or something to flash it? or dd?
I installed the 20b KDZ and rooted using the one click method, and that's how my phone sits currently.
From what I understand I need to downgrade to do something with the boot.img so that I can manually flash 20b with a bumped recovery? I'm not sure what bump really is entirely. Do I need to bump all TWRP images that I install? If bump is required for the G3, do they not come pre bumped?
I know that my first go around, I had flashed TWRP with flashify, then installed CM12 without any issues. So I'm wondering if this is just for stock ROMs or did they do something to the boot in 20b that would stop anything from installing without being bump'd?
I also noticed most of the bump'd threads don't list the d851 so I'm wondering if T-Mobile doesn't require this?
Keep in mind I've searched and read extensively and cannot come up with a clear picture of what to do. I've become too used to Nexus devices it seems :-\

D851 has unlocked bootloader. You don't need bump. Just flash twrp via trwo manager or get the inage and use flashify.

Hello!
I have a rooted AS985 currently running stock kitkat. Like many other phones that are available from my rural carrier, they are basically just Verizon variants that need Verizon variant ROMs, kernels, etc.. So, after viewing the LG G3 compatibility sheet I rooted successfully with Stump and then tried to flash a bump'd VS985 TWRP image. I've tried doing so with Flashify and the ADB method, but each time I boot into the recovery I get a black screen saying "[750] fastboot mode started". I've tried multiple versions of the VS985 TWRP to no avail.
If anyone could help I'd appreciate it!

It appears to flash successfully, but when I enter recovery I see the same "fastboot mode started" screen.
Bump.
Anyone have any ideas of what to do here? Having (almost) vanilla Android on my phone would be amazing.
Have you looked here?
Works flawlessly

I'm only able to select my tablet but not my phone for the download. Phone is still on KitKat, unfortunately.
Thanks.
If you find anything let me know. I tried to flash twrp with flashify but it is failing and I can't find anything to help me.
@BaconBaconBacon - I am facing the same issues with my AS985. When I bought it from eBay, it was already on Lollipop 5.0.1. Build Number is LRX21Y and Firmware is 21A. I was just not able to root it using traditional one-click root methods. Only thing that worked for me was Kingroot.
However, after getting Root access, I tried to flash various Recoveries, including the Bump'd recovery for VS985. I get the same error - "Fastboot mode started".
I thought that this was due to my current firmware (21A), and I was thinking of downgrading to VS985 10B.
I am just concerned about whether or not this will brick my phone. I understand that VS985 and AS985 are essentially the same devices, but just in case.
Have you tried this method of downgrading to 10B and then flashing the custom recovery?
did you guys ever figure out how to put twrp recovery on the as985 i have my lg g3 rooted with kingroot i couldnt get it to root with the other methods so if you have it figured mind helping a fellow partner.

Yes, I was facing the same issue with Firmware 21A on my AS985. I figured that VS985 (Verizon) firmware is compatible with AS985.
I downgraded my firmware from 21A to 10B(for Verizon) Using a .TOT, .DLL and LG Flash Tool.
Instructions on androidexplained-dotcom-downgrade-lg-g3 (sorry, unable to post a link, might find something equivalent on XDA as well)
Later, I rooted the VS985-10B firmware using One Click Root scripts. Post that, I flashed TWRP (Bump'd) recovery, followed by VS985-35B firmware, CM13 (Marshmallow) and GApps.
Took me a long time to figure this out, but all works now.

how did you get it too pass for me it says fail check phone or dll since im on as985a21a it looks up my model and it wont let it go back
here is what i get
I think I had changed the build.prop file. Replaced all occurrences of AS985 by VS985. I had done this unknowingly to make AutoRec work.
I am guessing that FlashTool also worked because of that.

where might i be able to change that
okay i found out how but all i see with the as985 is one thing which i changed to vs985 anything else maybe a screenshot of what you changed may help thanks again!
okay im on vs98510b now question do i lose my root when i flash the new firmware vs985-35B firmware or is the vs985 just the upgrde to lollipop ?
You won't lose access to root.
However, I would suggest that you go in this order.
1. Root Vs985 10b firmware and install TWRP. You need to install a bumped recovery.
2. VERIFY if you can boot into recovery.
3. Place 35b bootstack, cm13 and gapps on your SD card.
4. Go into Recovery, and wipe system, data, cache etc. DONT wipe your internal SD card.
5. Flash the above 3 zip files one by one in a single session. Don't reboot before you have flashed all 3 zip files.
6. You should be able to boot into CM13.
I am a little confused on how to install TWRP for my LG G3. It seems to me that the easiest way is to use the TWRP manager app and install TWRP directly from there. Is there another method someone would like to recommend? My G3 is the T-mobile d851 rooted with lollipop (stock). Most tutorials show how to install TWRP for kit kat and I have also read that the d851 has unlocked bootloader (not sure what this means, still learning).

TWRP Manager is fine. Easy as 1-2-3. Locked bootloader (every other version G3) needs to be "bumped" (unlocked) before any modding can be done.
Happy flashing!

Yes it worked! The only thing that confused me was before installing twrp it said something about making sure this is the correct recovery partition and I just clicked yes. Thanks for the help.
Looking for the best available root for the lg g4 marshmallow international version, even a 1 click method
If you searched you'll realise there's no root for locked bootloader G4s on MM.

What? H815SEA and H815EU are both international variants but only H815EU can be unlocked.
The best method is to flash boot.img unpacked from the custom kernel like SimpleGX via fastboot that will allow you to further flash TWRP in which you'll flash full kernel package to avoid software problems and lastly SuperSU
the method i followed was-
1. boot into twrp recovery with adb command(you need to have the twrp.img file in PC and also copy it in internal memory of your phone with SU)
2. flash systemless root with twrp
3. reboot
4. install flashify
5.flash twrp.img from your phone.
6. done
but there aren't as much benefits of rooting as any other phone. viper4android doesn't work. spirit fm doesn't work. xposed doesn't work properly.(these 3 were the main reasons for which i rooted)
I have already tried freegee many times, but it never works. Is there any working method for my phone model? Pls help.
Or if anyone has the latest twrp for my phone in a flashable zip format, that would be great.
Freegee dies not work on KitKat stock rom. Are you on kitkat? Look up on xda soecifically for rooting kitkat rom. To unlock bootloader you need to install og pro recovery apk. Again Google for that. Once tgat is done you can flash twrp via flashify. Let me know if you need more info. My info is based on my experiments with my lg e988. Btw what rom do you want to try? For me all AOSP lollipop roms did not work well.

I've already installed CWM recovery and now running CM12.1 , But I still can't figure out how to unlock bootloader, when I try to use CM's advanced boot to boot into BL, all it does is normally boot up my phone.
Well i have never tried to boot into the bootloader. So i dont know what happens when i do that. I will try it once i get home and post again.

E980 doesn't have a bootloader unlock, just bypass with Loki. If you need fully unlocked bootloader, well, bother LG.
