Hi,
Is there a way I can flash a CWM or TWRP Recovery on my LG G3 D855 device? OR does this require an unlocked bootloader which this is not even available atm?..
hi everyone i have f180 that i converted to e975 with 4.4.2 kdz and rooted with towel root unlocked bootloader with freegee flashed cwm recovery but when i boot into recovery and flash any rom it flashes but stucks at startup sometimes it gives an error flashing gapps i have tried everything but doesn't work help me please :crying:
Exactly Same Problem Here.
Can anyone let me know if there is a rooted lollipop rom for the korean models (k/l/s)
i have a lollipop rom but it isn't rooted and once loaded it's impossible to root with the normal recovery mode.
(all other reboot into recovery need root- vicious circle need root to load recovery and need recovery to flash root)
i'll be grateful if someone can lead me to a way to upgrade to lollipop without losing root
sincerely
Hello everyone! I'm not really new to this Android rooting and unlocking bootloader stuff (I did this to my previous Xperia phones) but I'm "new" with it now because I'm now an LG user. I currently own the D855 Global variant.
So here are my questions:
1.) Is it necessary to unlock the bootloader to flash custom ROMs? Or is root enough? (I rooted my phone yesterday and installed TWRP with AutoRec for D855 users) I'm kinda interested with the Cloudy G3 ROM.
2.) Is it necessary to unlock the bootloader to flash custom kernels?
3.) What does bump mean? I haven't heard this term before.
1) No, you do not need to unlock your bootloader on lg g3 to flash Cloudy ROM or other custom ROMs.
You are not even able to unlock the bootloader on this phone currently. If you already
flashed TWRP go get your Cloudy ROM and flash it with TWRP.
2) Again no. Like I said you are not able to unlock bootloader on this phone currently.
But you will be able to flash custom kernels because they are BUMPed.
3) And finally BUMP is a way of signing boot image so it could be booted on LG bootlader without the bootloader itself being unlocked. All XDA ROMS for LG G3 I found here are already prebumped so you are able to download them and flash immediately.

Thank you so much! Another question tho, if I flash any stock based custom kernel, how do I get back to stock if in any case I would want to?
Before flashing anything you should always do backup with TWRP or other custom recovery you already have. If you did your backup there, just restore it that way.
In case you did not, you are able to use LG flash tool and flash stock kdz files.
Also you could backup your boot.img(kernel that is...) using app like Flashify and restore it with it if necessary.
And again I recommend doing a nandroid backup with TWRP before flashing anything at all.
Do you need to root the LG G3 D855 device to get CM 12/12.1/13:silly:
Yes you need root because you need to install a custom recovery if you want to flash cyanogenmod or any other custom rom.
