[q] root - recovery - android now hd

Hi Guys
Im new to installing custom Roms on the G3 as I have been using Samsungs for a while.
I have Lolipop 5.0 on my device at the moment but I understand I have to revert to stock rom in order to root my device,.
I need to know what method I need to use for Rooting, what recovery to use and how to successfully install the custom rom.
Any help would be appreciated,
Chris

No not with the method you quoted above this is root only you can't install Twrp recovery unless you downgrade.At the moment it is not possible to install Twrp on Stock Lollipop without downgrading you can only root.:crying:

use xposed-v75-sdk22-arm64
And install the Xposed apk after finishing flashing the zip file
Good luck

You need an unlocked bootloader in order to install a boot recovery as far as I know.

yesss !! it worked fine by using flashfire ( i mean XPOSED) .. i waited 30 minutes after screen off .. then it works 100%
thank u crazylife

No, root wasn't kept. You could try flash the repack of the v20 rom from Seven, but it does say for boot loader unlocked devices only.

link to system image please?

You can buy from any carrier you want. You don't need to unlock your bootloader with the g3

The G3 has an exploit called bump! which fools the phone into thinking it is receiving genuine LG images(i think that's how it goes), so there is no need to unlock the bootloader. Our custom ROMs come signed already, so just flash like you normally would.
& FWIW the vs985(verizon) comes carrier unlocked out of the box so any sim should work...you just need to manually set up the APN for data.

Thanks for your reply

i would just need to flash recovery & then just flash rom right ????

what do you mean by root .
if bootloader in unlocked then just we need to install custom recovery to flash custom rom right ?

First you'll root your phone.
Then, you'll install autorec so you can have a custom recovery.
Then you can flash any rom you like that's compatible with your phone model.

I just tried the latest kingroot and it failed. Also keep in mind that rooting method varies between phones even if they run on the same android version.

We don't need to root it. Just have to flash twrp. Dm-verity must allow us to use custom software though.

No, LG has its own dowload mode. But not only flash a partition. You can flash via fastboot but after that, you'll not be able to boot into recovery mode. First, we need to remove Android boot verification from stock boot image.

How to flash .img file to LG H818p

Hello guys, just want to ask a quick question.
How do you flash .img file to LG H818p? As far as i know, LG h818p bootloader cannot be unlocked. Therefore, i cannot use TWRP or any custom recovery to flash the file. Any advice will be greatly appreciated
Ps: I'm trying to Install Genisys Rom
