[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:

None of the G4s except the 815EU and H811 (TMo) variant have an unlocked bootloader available. The H815 you have to get unlocked via the LG support site and the H811 is unlocked by default from TMobile.

Running the good ol' KitKat 4.4.2 Need guidance to update

Hi I just bought a LG D855,
It's currently running the old KitKat right outta he box. Build Number: KVT49L, Software Version: V10n-GLOBAL-COM
The phone is missing the Update Center and thus I don't get any OTAs, I've decided to flash a custom MM for the phone. However while I try to flash TWRP via Flashify, it reboots into Fastboot and I see no sign of TWRP. Is there a specific TWRP I have to flash for KitKat?
Also, should I first update to LL and then to MM? I'd like to use any custom MM rom close to stock there is.
Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Kind sirs, pray link me to the ROM that's closest to stock for any suggestions you may have personally. :highfive:
Thank you so much in advance.:victory:

How to properly relock bootloader?

Hi,
I had rooted my phone (ANE-AL00 C675) long back. Now there is a yellowing of screen, so I want to take it to the customer centre. For this, I want to relock the bootloader. However, when I relock, it goes to bootloop. When I unlock it again, it is working
[1] I rooted using the method from here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...t-p20-lite-t3773923/post76137173#post76137173. I've flashed the original ramdisk before relocking.
[2] I had flashed twrp. I flashed stock recovery before relocking from here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-lite/help/req-stock-recovery-p20-lite-t3803027
[3] I had installed xposed. Uninstalled using the option within xposed.
What am I doing wrong? Please help me relock the phone. TIA.

If you install again stock firmware the device will be in the correct status to re-lock the bootloader.
Check in this link if the firmware is familiar for you :

Hi, I did go through the list but 8.0.0.131 is not available. Is there any way to relock without the stock rom? I've been unable to find 8.0.0.131 rom on the internet.

Hi there
I've read the confusion Altough I must ask, why do you need that specific version 8.0.0.131?
If you just wanna get a "lock" state not a "relock" state to get the warranty back, then flash any dload package available, if the phone is Indian then this is what you are looking for:
https://androidhost.ru/KY
If you don't know the dload procedure just quote me or DM me.

Hi ars_chelsea,
Can you double check the link posted by you?
I'm seeing wrong or that firmware is for P8 lite 2017.

Hi, I was under the impression that you need the stock rom version to relock bootloader. Please advice on how to proceed.

Tell one thing though, can you access eRecovery?
If so, have you tried to restore it from there? It also downloads a signed full firmware which makes your bootloader on "lock" state.

Hi,
I can access eRecovery. But it fails at 99%.

Ok, I've sent you another one, please check.

Ok my way the easy one- instead BL relock you will get locked
1 Install TWRP.
2 Download OEMINFO for your model any (dont use DD if your phone is SS sim) need image not zip - upload on sdcard
3From TWRP install oeminfo.
4Restart phone and go to Erecovery it should now start downloading right sys and bootloader will be like never touch.
Good luck
