Hello. I have looked at the forum for how to install twrp on my Lg G3 D855 lollipop.
First I have rooted my phone withh this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951, that worked fine now I read that I have to go to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-update-to-lollipop-root-bumpd-twrp-t3048845 tread to install twrp, but I can't seams to figure this out.
1: Shuld I first unroot my phone and then use that other guide insted of the first one I used.
2: will the other guide then reset my phone so it will be like a new rom installation or what.
if some could clarify for me in "how to" install twrp on my phone or maby have a link where it already says how to.

yes I have seen that but I dont know how to use this.
Will this reset my phone like a new rom or what, I tried the one i Linked earlier but that only gave me root but not the recovery, as what I can see when I try to enter recovery is says if I want to factory reset my phone and I was affraid to click yes there.
I'm also trying to figure out how to instal TWRP onto a LG G3 I'm coming from a LG G2 and it was a whole lot simple. So do I download the script onto my sd card then launch the exe from there? Thanks for the help!!

it will only install recovery, it will not reset it like new. Its a very simple one click script.
Ok, I ran the one click that I linked and that seemed to install recovery, I didn't know how to enter it the correct way.
So I ran the script on my D852 all went good but when I try to boot into recovery mode by holding down button and power button all I get is red light blue light. Then pull the battery and it boots back into stock. Weird...does it hurt anything to try to run the script again?
Thanks for the help!
@beaver5963, seems like you missed something and got a secure boot error. It would be nice if you could provide more details. Did you get the correct kk firmware for your model? Appropriate custom recovery image (twrp)? Rest of the stuff looks quite automated... I used the previous version of imageprep btw.

Hello Again,
So I downloaded a kitkat firmware for my d852 that came in TOT format. Does anyone have instructions on how to use the automatic script with a TOT file versus the KDZ file as it is different. Sorry for all the questions but I am just trying to learn all this stuff. Thanks for the help!

Today I've tried rooting my phone, it all went horribly wrong, I've literally tried everything on the XDA forums and have checked out the disaster recovery tutorial. Nothing however seems to help, only thing I haven't been able to try is to flash a RUU, because I haven't been able to find mine, it's 3.14.161.27 , if anyone is in possesion of it or knows how to come by it, I'd really need your help!
Thanks in advance!

It stays stuck on the boot screen of cyanogenmod, i've tried reflashing the kernel, fastboot erase cache, reflashing the rom, restoring to my old rom, which only changed the screen it stayed stuck to (HTC screen). And now somehow my Nandroid backup isn't on my phone anymore, neither is the cyanogenmod ROM, so i've got a Phone i've flashed the latest cyanogenmod onto, that's stuck in bootloop, with nothing else on it. I think that pretty much sums it up. My last resort is drowning or destroying it so my insurance wil get me a new one, however it will cost me, and I'd rather not destroy such a awesome device
This is a higher version but I think it should work fine -

So you didn't do the cleaver thing and...
1. Check for an RUU
2. Make a backup
Before trying to root?

Sounds like you need to flash the boot.img that supports hboot 1.36. Check the first post of your CM10 ROM. GPS won't work.
If you have clockworkmod 5.8.4.0, you can mount sd card and copy a different ROM on if you want.
If you have an older version, drop to fastboot and flash the new one (I say new, it's been out like 6 months).
i've tried flashing CWM, but in the cmd window, it says "FAILED <command write failed <unknown error>>
and then that it's finished
I would be grateful I'd anyone has this RUU as well. Restore is corrupted .

What you need is Vodafone JB nandroid. Download it from HERE, and flash from your recovery.
You can also find it HERE
Flash boot.img contained in this nandroid, and you should be fine.
Let me know how it went...
So I was running Slimbean 6.2 weekly with ktoonez 6.8 kernel and decided to go into recovery (CWM Touch 6.0.3) to fix permissions and clear cache since I was having some battery drain issues. After I hit fix permissions it started to do so and then all of a sudden my phone rebooted and gets stuck at the splash screen. Went back into recovery to try and fix permissions again same thing happens. Tried clearing cache and doing a normal reboot still stuck at splash screen. I tried doing a factory reset but it keeps rebooting right when it gets to formatting data. So essentially I can do anything aside from format data so I am guessing there's some corrupt file there that's keeping me from formatting it. I've tried installing different ROM's that I have on my SD card but they always get stuck at the splash screen. Doing a restore doesn't work as once it gets to restoring data the phone reboots. I checked report error or something along those lines in CWM Advanced and it said can't format /emmc which I'm not sure what that means.
I've looked around but haven't been able to find any information on how to fix this. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Ok go into CWM wipe cache, wipe dalvik and do factory reset. Then flash any rom which you have on your phone storage. Does this work?

You never mentioned you started over by installing 4.1.2 Stock and then tried flashing ROM again, only that you went into recovery numerous times. Download Mode and Odin to Stock is what I was getting at. Then... Flashing 4.2.2

Even better, download one of the Odin 1-clicks. Connect your phone, open the 1-click and stand back while it does its magic.

So, I was looking at the thread for the Sphinx Mod and i decided to download v1.2.
I did a restore to stock V10k, rooted, installed cwm for freegee
Went into CWM and flashed the Sphinx zip first
Then flashed the patch for F240s and i read somewhere in that thread s patch worked
I successfully booted but then i did not have a signal so i though i needed to reflash baseband
So i did but now it does not boot up and only stays at the lg splash screen
I tried to restore back but it says the phone is now a different model
I tried using the LG mobile support tool to flash the kdz panama or telecel but i get an error

If you can still get into recovery, wipe everything and format system. then flash without flashing baseband.(GET IT TO BOOT). charge it and then flash back to stock with lg flash tool. download the tot file for the E980. I hope this helps

i was on zvc, and i tried doing that abootzv7 downgrade and i dont think it worked....thats the only thing i can think of at the moment. i tried doing the downgrade before flashing, and i flashed the twrp recovery by the guy in the same link i posted. i didnt even try adding a new rom yet. I am able to push files to my phone through adb in the recovery mode at least.
oh my goodness...i just used the optimus rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590234 and its working but the keyboard isnt
Try another keyboard and see if that works. Cloudyfa ported the lg3 keyboard and it is nice.
If you want to be best fixed. Grab Cloudyfa auto-rec and use it. Under android development of g2. This puts recovery but also fixes download mode in case you need it.

I'm sure you already read the op from top to bottom but you must have missed some parts. You should probably read it again everything you need to know is in the op.

No yea i read it completely now i had missed the part where it has the lg drivers. My question now is that when i run purpledrake am i just rooting it or will it give me the option of flashing twrp in it?
Just to make sure, the only steps involved in rooting my phone is installing the drivers, running the purple drake file and putting my phone in ptp mode during the process right? sorry for being a noob i just want to make sure im not turning my 600$ phone into a brick lol

okay, okay even though that's in the op as well yes it gives the option to install twrp. If I was you I would pick the option that installs twrp and the edited boot.img also if you have problems installing twrp you can just use the twrp installer from the play store. You might want to do that regardless so you can have the updated twrp.
*edit*
yes from what I remember you have the correct process for purple drake
