Hi all, its there any way of unlocking bootloader or bypass the lg security other than freegee as freegee is not supporting my android version. (E98810e)?
I have rooted and tried directly installing CWM. CWM works if i reboot from freegee but it will go into bootloop if i try to get into recovery using hardware key. Head too return to stock twice because of that... Can you help please?
Or is there any way of flashing custom rom without using freegee?

Freegee does not unlock the bootloader. It just bypasses it. And as far as I know, Freegee is the only way to get CWM installed and boot. You can try using Rom Manager. It says Rom Manager has Loki support but when I tried it on my phone (E98010P) it wouldn't boot. You can give it a try and see what happens.

Thanks... But will rom manager have the Capability of bypassing lg security.?
My ultimate requirement is to flash a custom kit kat rom... And as i understand i will not be able to flash custom rom without bypassing lg security...

I was confused about this for the longest time. Freegee will install a lokified recovery which will bypass s-on and install roms for u
You know, that's a good question. Perhaps that is why Rom Manager won't work because it doesn't bypass the lg security? Maybe someone with more experience with this can give a better answer.
Anyone?

Have there been any new news on the bootloader situation for this? Ive read conflicting reports about freegee and bootloops. Is there a tried and true way?
Can you not just use lg flashtools to flash a 10p firmware and go from there ?

I'm on LG E98020i. Freegee wouldn,t work for this software version. Can i flash version 98010g which happens to be supported and then root/unlock/flash CWM/Custom roms?
Well, finally I got it working! All about risk.
I simply
* flashed E98010g AT&T (4.1.2) into my current E98020i AT&T (4.4.2).
* Rooted it and unlocked the bootloader with freegee and flashing TWRP 2.3.x.x
* Performed a backup, then reflashed the newer recovery version 3.0.0 using flasify (I had to also backup my stock boot and recovery with flashify before proceeding)
* As the new recovery was installed, I simply wiped my partitions and flashed my Lollipop ROM 5.1 (ResurrectionRemix)
* My phone was brand new henceforth. So happy!
My fear was that I have to be coming from KK b4 flashing the Lollipop OS, but it didn't stop me from enjoying my "fresh" device.

That's similar to what I wound up doing.
On stock E98020i AT&T (4.4.2)
1. Rooted using towelroot.
2. Installed busybox
3. Installed GPRO_6.0.4.4 Recovery
4. Installed Flashify (tried FlashFire first and it ran a long terminal screen but didn't install TWRP) and flashed the oldest recovery TWRP listed on their website.
5. Verified it worked, and then flashed the latest TWRP.
Success.
I tried it the way you listed, but freegee kept either black screening or would just freeze up.
I read elsewhere that freegee is incompatible with the last AT&T KitKat release.
My only problem is that the latest CM12.1 for the e980 doesn't seem to go into deep sleep.
It used almost 20% of the battery in less than 4 hours with Wifi and bluetooth enabled.
If I can't fix it, I'll try CM11 and hope I get better results.

I used freegee and got the exact same results. So I went much further...brick or fix the wakelock with different basebands and kernel combos. Nexus4 radios, weird hardware issues, touch issues in a touch recovery, fun stuff. I bricked it over and over having to rgflash 4.1.2 tot. Each 'return to stock' release tot for att seems to use a different method to loki a custom recovery. idk. I've always been able to enter download mode.:fingers-crossed:
I was flashing the wrong stock firmware version and after lgflashing v10g stock firmware, I was able to update to the latest TWRP recovery using the following steps: towelroot/supersu/busybox/reboot/flashify...no wakelock in Carbon 5.1 :highfive:

The best way I found to tame battery life on the G Pro, using SlimLP :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
Also, I got myself a new battery, and I'd recommend the zero lemon ones.
Flashing steps
1. Stock JB
2. Towelroot
3. Freegee's TWRP
4. Flashify TWRP 3.0.2.0
5. SlimLP
6. Open Gapps
7. V4A Sony Beats
8. KK baseband
For the baseband I extracted it from KK to flash it when I need as it is better than JBs.
I have my G Pro running for 14 hours now and I am at 34%...I used Palabre to read some stuff on WiFi for about half an hour. Then, left the phone... Then, I spent an hour and a half reading an ebook on Moon+, screen awake all the time, reader's brightness at 40% on a dark theme.
I haven't tried slim since kat and have been interested in trying it again. I was a big 'quick settings ribbon' kind of user, disenfranchised when SlimROMs stopped offering the feature. But I've since given that dream up and swipe crazily in horizontal gestures since 5.0 But SlimROMs are fast, stable, and ya know...slim.

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.

Great to know! Just used flashify and it worked like a charm
As the title say, i've come across an app called Flash Gordon which can flash zip without a custom recovery like twrp/cwm. It seems like it is made for devices with a locked bootloader. I dont know if its gonna work on our G4s. Have someone ever tried it? Especially those people that have a nandroid backup so if anything happen they can revert without an issue. I have a locked bootloader so i dared not to try.
i'd like to know that as well...proud possessor of LG G4 H818P and trying to install the Xtrememusic mod

Hi guys,
I've planned to do a CSE flash (means "with data loss") of latest official rom and then switch from the obsolete CloudyG3 to the FulmicsRom.
So I'll need TWRP recovery, but according to my experience it need to be "bumped", otherwise I get a Secure Boot error.
Autorec is considered the best solution, now I want to know:
1) How Autorec works to prevent this?
2) I'll get latest 2.8.7.0 TWRP recovery or the 2.8.6.0 instead?
3) I'll definitely solve bootloader issues, also when in future I'll manually flash "non-bumped" recoveries?
Ps i would appreciate more a better method to obtain the same result (the freedom of use non-bumped recovery).
The only I know is the "oem-unlock", but it's irreversible so I dislike it.

1) Autorec flash the "bumped" kitkat bootloader.
2) I have the 2.8.7.0, but its up to you really.
3) If you flash a not bumped rom or recovery, you will get a secure boot error. But, everything is bumped because its the only bootloader unlock that we have

So Autorec is useless, if I obtain the same result and limitations of a manual bumped recovery flash.
Why make useless bootloader changes if same result without mess up other partitions?
So, if I understand well, Autorec make exactly what I manually do by flashing of a "signed" boot/recovery partition.
I'm wrong?

Its useless if you are still on kitkat, but if you're on lollipop and you want to install a custom rom or recovery, you don't need to downgrade with tot, loose everything, flash bump, and go on... it make things easier in that case.
In fact,
Bump make believe to the phone that what you try to boot is legit,
While Autorec install the bumped kitkat boot partition if you are on lollipop.
And the bootloader change is not useless if you're on lollipop because bump don't work on lollipop.
If you are on the cloudy Rom, you already have TWRP installed.
You don't need to go back to stock.
Just boot to recovery: turn off, press vol.down+power, when you see the LG logo release the buttons and press then again units you see the recovery the factory reset. Say yes both questions and then you are in TWRP.
Copy the new ROM on the SD card and flash it.

So you're saying that FulmicsRom, based on 21A, will works greaceful even under 20H system (bootloader, etc.)?
The CloudyG3 developer suggest to flash latest official rom before its latest custom one.
I think it's true for FulmicsRom too.

Regarding the rom, I never needed to look for bumped releases.
On my device I flashed both Resurrection Remix (CM-based) and CloudyG3 without any problem: as requirements only the root access and a TWRP bumped recovery.
Probably the cited roms are signed by default, so the scenario described by you may happens only in other systems like MIUI or Ubuntu Touch... given that they are unsigned, I'm doing only an example.
I continue to be confused regarding the aim of Autorec.
So, why if I flash a non-bumped recovery I continue to get Secure Boot errors? The bootloader may be modified to prevent this behaviour, but Autorec won't do that.
So what it does?

If you flash a non-bumped recovery, its normal that you get "Secure Boot Error" because bump is the "unlock". Everything on the g3 must be bumped to boot.
Autorec flash the kitkat bootloader if you are on lollipop (to make bump work) and after it flash a bumped twrp (recovery), that's all.

Yes, you can flash on top of the cloudy no need to go back to stock.
The only thing you have to do is wipe all partitions except the sd before flashing.
Both ROMs are stock based.
If you decide to flash a KDZ or TOT to go back to stock you will have to root first and then use Autorec.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.
I was afraid regarding the compatibility of the actual 20H bootloader with custom 21A rom, CloudyG3 is based on 20H but works under the same bootloader.
But you're telling me it's not existing any kind of problem with that.
So I can flash rom in the easier way (from zip file with TWRP recovery).

So we can say that Autorec is useful only when I work with TWRP on official (obviously rooted) firmware.
But since the cited rom is only "based" on official, I'm not needing to use Autorec, if I directly flash bumped version of TWRP.

Listen... Lollipop bootloader DOES NOT accept BUMP.
So what autorec app by Bender does is flash a kitkat bootloader which ACCEPTS BUMP.
Autorec also flashes the bumped TWRP to recovery partition.
So... if you have TWRP you are on kitkat bootloader and you can flash whatever you want that is bumped. All images based on whichever version of ROM 21A, 20H or any of the other ones you find will work on that bootloader.
To finalize, yes you can flash it the easy way with TWRP.

Clearful, thank you so much... even if uppercases may seem offensive (like you talk to a stupid who won't understand)
So if I start from an official 21A firmware, I need to:
1) Root device;
2) Install and execute Autorec;
3) Flash anything from the bumped TWRP (automatically installed by Autorec alongside the KitKat bootloader).

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.
