I recently got my t mobile g3 and i just rooted it today using PD. I was wondering if it's safe to get TWRP after the new update. If so, how can i get TWRP?

Purpledrake crashed before it could install TWRP, so i only have root. Also do you know if installing a custom recovery wipes the phone?

No if u have root use twrp manager from play store. Pick ur phone model and flash the recovery done. Does not wipe ur phone

Awesome I'll give it a shot

I haven't seen a clear answer on this, so does anybody know what root methods still work after the new update? If they all still do, is there anything I should do differently in the rooting process?
You have to wait till one of the methods gets an upgrade

Well seeing as how the d851 boot loader is shipping unlocked from T-Mobile I think it would be pretty safe to say that once you manage to properly install the 10m OTA, you would simply flash TWRP from purpledrake in fastboot and from there flash supersu.

I used Stump root and mine is rooted again. I had to use the brute force root to get it done in Stump. After that I installed SuperU, TWRP and Busy Box.

Purpledrake probably replaced the M boot.img with the C boot.img. If it did that means your back on the C kernel and if it didn't you no longer have the modded disabled root checker.

There is only one. Bump'd link http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/orig-development/bump-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-t2900569
Does this phone have a root indicator like the G2 did? In download mode I believe it was. And also in about phone it would say modified or something.

Using the phone dialer pad enter 3845#*850#. (Relace 850 with your variant). This allows you to enter the hidden menu. Look for LG RCT tag and display result. The content of the file will indicate whether G3 is rooted or not.

I believe you can use flashily to flash an OEM (signed) ROM, or a 'bumped ROM'.

"Is there a difference to using Flashify vs. Bump??"
You asked for input, and I gave you one. I told you the one difference between using the original Bump installation proces, and using a noob tool like flashify that does everything for you.
There is no difference between the two, they do the same stuff after all.

My original question was if there was a difference between using one over the other; If BUMP did something Flashify couldn't or vice versa. Not which one was the easiest to do or is "noob" friendly. Why go out of my way to use ADB on my PC when I can just download the TWRP img to my phone and flash it from the phone itself? Either way, this has been solved and I now have TWRP. Thanks for your input, anyways.
Hello all, I'm looking for for help. I can't unroot my G3. I've downloaded the LG flash tool, LG drivers, and LG_D851.10C_TOT&DLL.7z. When I try to CSE Flash it will start but then I will get "LGUserCSTool LGMobile Application has stopped working". I've uninstalled and reinstalled the LG flash tool and LG_D851.10C_TOT&DLL.7z so right now I'm stuck. Thank you in advance for your help
Is your phone still fully functional? If so just download pc suite or the lg support tool. Hook it up and select upgrade recovery under options. It will put the stock firmware back on your phone erasing all system mods.
Okay, I'll try that. Thanks. I also have twrp installed will this method erase/unistall it or do I have to uninstall twrp first?

It will erase recovery, root, and all system mods. Last time I used it it erased my data too. It has never done that before so I dont know if something went wrong that time or if it was updated to erase it. None the less just keep that in mind.
Great is worked!

Hey I'm doing a JUMP! upgrade and need to unroot and reinstall the bloatware that came on my phone, what would be the best route for me to go? I did the Force Root meathod with that stump app or whatever, but no custom recovery or OS in installed, just rooted. I tried looking for this support tool but I can't seem to find it.

had to manually install drivers, did not work through tool. and when I clicked upgrade it said I was up to date on 4.4.2. I got it to work by clicking the drop down in the top right corner and clicking upgrade recovery.
Did you happen to click "Options" on the top right then upgrade recovery?

Same here. I've been trying support tool since yesterday. Upgrade recovery tells me there is nothing to fix.
I'm on 10R rooted with twrp 2.8.6.1.

Make sure you don't take an OTA or upgrade to LP via the support tool w/ TWRP installed (or any third party recovery for that matter).

Use KDZ tool.
See the sticky.
Honestly if you have twrp just upgrade to Lollipop via Autoprime's zip directly from twrp. They are stock roms directly from Tmobile so Wifi calling and VoLTE is included. Also the it will be rooted too. Unless you don't want twrp or root you can use the KDZ tool.

Yeah that would clean wipe it, if you wipe from TWRP. My steps is to do the factory wipe from Twrp then go to advance wipe and check mark everything in there besides the external sd card. Do the wipe 2 times or more just to make sure and since doesn't hurt to do so. Make sure the zip files for Lollipop are on the external sd card and not internal since you want a clean wipe.

Hey guys!
So here we go, i recently have the latest firmware on my T-Mobile LG G4 rooted with TRWP so when Marshmallow arrives how can I update it? How can I restore factory settings so I can take the OTA?
If I remove super su and on his settings select un root, can I still take the OTA even if TRWP is installed?
Thanks anticipated

From what I've read, is that when you have a custom recovery installed you can't update OTA. You will need to flash a stock .kdz file.
