You need to follow the unbricking guide in order to root and install CWM.
if already rooted, you can use dd in a terminal to install recovery image to recovery partition. follow the exact instructions carefully. sorry, type in a cellphone, let me know if you can't find the instructions

Do you have any links or instructions? I'll be doing this for a friend in a couple of weeks. I've rooted and installed CWM on a two P930 phones and have always used the unbricking guide.

right, if already rooted, then you can just do the recovery part of the unbricking process, for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35373233&postcount=1
you only need to do the step 18 to 21, and actually no need to download the whole package
1. for recovery image, download it here:
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
make sure you download correct version, and rename it to recovery.img and place it in the root directory of your phone's SD card
2. Using adb is definitely easier, but if you are carefully enough, you can type same cmd in phone using following app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
3. Run above terminal app in you phone, and type: (be extremely careful, make sure you type them exactly as showed)
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
As always, there are chances for some phones, above step may fail, in that case, following complete unbricking process usually give better result.
I'll give it try when I get his phone.
Since he is on the stock ICS version of Bell's firmware, I assume I'll have to go through the whole guide unless he is still on GB.
Since i have my LG G3 Lollipop rooted by ABD method i want to install Xposed from HERE.
To do that i need have Custom recovery but how put custom recovery without downgrade to Kitkat?
My Lg D855 got lastes stock Lollipop and root.

To put it simply
You cant. If you want TWRP and custom rom you have to downgrade to Kitkat to install it

Hi, first I own LG G3 D855 32gb with previously installed stock LL ANHD 8.3 rom with downgrading to KK rooting method. Today I decided to try fully root following guide from this threat given by @topet2k12001 and after clean installing LL 20H KDZ file I root it with no problem and then I decided to follow guide for installing bump¨d TWRP and aboot.img from KK witch I extracted from latest 10N KK version, only thing I did deferent is that for flashing TWRP and boot.img I used Flashify from playstore and for aboot.img I used Android terminal with commands in guide from this threat. After flashing all and turning off phone then turning it on to enter TWRP it work so I can state that TWRP is working fine, no more error, even I restore my backup (system and data) of rom ANHD 8.3 (LL) I used before this and all is working flawlessly with almost full lollipop rom except aboot.img (KK).
If you do bother to read clearly it requires you to flash the android bootloader which is a risky process since download mode function, bootloader and recovery all depend on it
If not done properly you will brick your phone. So please do not risk it and just downgrade it properly with LG Flash Tool, it will save you so much time.

Hi @itsbighead,
The "aboot.img" is the Bootloader (Android Bootloader).
The "sbl1.img" is the Secure Bootloader.
The "laf.img" is the Download Mode.
There are three (3) methods available in my thread:
1. "Kitkat Downgrade" method: this is the first method discovered/known to have custom recovery (TWRP) + root on LG G3 Android Lollipop
2. "No Downgrade" method: the reverse approach of the "Kitkat Downgrade" method
3. "Imageprep" method: it's nothing more than an automated script that combines the commands from the "No Downgrade" method. This is created to reduce the risk due to human error (typos, etc. when using the Terminal/Command Line)
The principle in the Kitkat Downgrade Method:
1. From a fully fresh/stock Kitkat, root the device
2. Install a "bump'd" (patched) custom recovery (TWRP)
3. Get a Lollipop Firmware and extract the following image files: system.img, modem.img, and boot.img
4. "Bump" (patch) the boot.img
5. Done
The principle in the No Downgrade Method:
1. From a fully fresh/stock Lollipop...
2. Get a Kitkat Firmware and extract the following image files: aboot.img, laf.img (some users nee to also download other image files like sbl1.img, rpm.img, tz.img, dbi.img, and persist.img)
3. Install a "bump'd" (patched) custom recovery (TWRP)
4. Get a Lollipop boot.img and "bump" (patch) it
5. Flash the "bump'd" boot.img, aboot.img, and laf.img
6. Done
The principle in the Imageprep Method:
1. Basically all the commands that need to be entered are automated in a script
2. Put the corresponding image files mentioned in the No Downgrade Method in the appropriate folders as per the instructions in Imageprep
3. Run the script
4. Done
So as you can see...either way, Kitkat Downgrade and No Downgrade have the same risks. The only difference is "which image files to flash", but essentially you are still flashing image files which, if done improperly, will definitely cause a "soft-brick". In any case, the problems are already anticipated and solutions already documented in the "Troubleshooting and Q&A" section of my thread.
EXTRA: as a matter of fact, it was one of your old posts that led me to understand all of these and therefore, led me to create a script. You are actually listed in the "Credits" section of my thread.

New Guide root+twrp for 5.0 by auto -scrpit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/d855-one-click-root-twrp-recovery-t3072767
Hi I was wondering if it would be possible to unlock my bootloader and install twrp because my sprint lg g3 is already rooted successfully. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a method aside from downgrading and I would like to feel safe in knowing that I have a backup. Installing a custom rom is in consideration also so you if you have any recommendations it'd be appreciated.
Thanks, Josh

Sorry to revive this thread. I was wondering that since I currently don't have the capability to unlock my bootloader, what steps would I need to take on my rooted ls990 to replace my stock messaging app with cm12's messaging app. Will it be compatible as I am running lollipop, and if there is a different build of the apk that doesn't need to be ran from the system and can be set as my default messing app please inform me.
Thanks in advance

I'm not completely positive but I've been told by some developers that I should wait it out until a method comes that is specifically known to work on ls990. I appreciate the feedback though.

Hi, you must install KingRoot latest version and Beta Super su 2.5.2. After this you would have enabled administrator permission.
In case of failure the update binaries in SuperSu, you must again install TWRP apps in order to install the custom recovery ( the latest version is 3.0) and finally, you must install the Supersu file (from recovery) in version 2.52 (is the one that works best on android Marhsmallow).

Its been a while... How do I root these and get twrp on them so i can flash new roms on them? I Dont even remember how to root them... Help please....
There is guides on the general thread to assist you and your boggle or in the deadicated forum fir verzion devices
The best way:
*TOT or KDZ back to a KitKat version(10b or 12b): https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/guide-flash-to-stock-10b-kdz-method-t2928140
*Then root using Stumproot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
*Then install a twrp .img recovery for vs985 using the flashify or Rashr app or something comparable: https://twrp.me/devices/lgg3verizon.html
*Make a backup, wipe, and get flashing
The lazy way: search for the kingroot app and see if it works on your version of 6.0. Some early MM/6.0 versions worked and you could get temporary root that way(root with kingroot doesn't last through reboot). Once you have root, download a flashing app as mentioned above, install recovery, and do your thing.
