Hello,
I have the att D850 that is still stock rooted. I now want to install TWRP on my device and flash since development for the g3 finally seems to be picking up I rooted with TowelRoot, and just want to know the best method of successfully installing TWRP on my device.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

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 have used flashify in the past. Is there a difference to using Flashify vs. Bump??

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.

Anyone tried Flashify to flash a rom, specifically ARHD? I'm not S-OFF but was able to update TWRP with Flashify. What do you think?
A bit more info:
I'm currently S-ON, unlocked via HTCDev and rooted with Hasoon2000 toolkit. Xposed is working well but can't install busybox.
Any help is greatly appreciated

I could and probably will if nobody can advise if Flashify will work. I just like the simplicity of Flashify. I don't want to try it if the risk of a brick is quite high.

flashing a rom can not result in brick, hell you can even delete a rom and it doesnt brick . you are S-ON too.
be a man , flash it and try.
or not be one.

You are incorrect. Flashing the wrong rom can result in brick.

Hey guys so i just found out about Stump root which is basically a one touch root app for all lg g3 variants.
heres the link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
Anyways my question is if i root my g3 with this method how do i install a custom recovery? has anyone rooted their phone with this method and installed a custom recovery?
Totally different phone. Feel free to try tho. If our method did not work on Verizon and sprint I doubt it will vise versa
AWESOME G3

I used Stump to root my D851 and used the following method to install TWRP.
http://lgg3root.com/lg-g3-root-tutorials/how-to-install-cwmtwrp-recovery-on-lg-g3/
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
BAD ASS G3
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.
