I was thinking to install CM13 on lg g2. Then I am confused whether to install caf bootstacker. I am on stock lollipop. Do i really need to install Bootstacker? Also wanted to ask about this TWRP. Do I really need the latest Bumped version or the preinstalled recovery would work?

Hi folks. Long time rooter/rom user of phones and tablets. I have some questions for my V500
Since it is rooted, would this be the next step - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641409
(Installing TWRP for a custom recovery)
Since I'm on 4.4.2 with a V50020d base, would I then focus on getting 4.4.2 base roms and flash them via that TWRP I installed?
This does seem like a really fun and snappy device. From what I can tell, it has an IR Blaster right? Are there any roms that don't work with the blaster (I see this sometimes in the Galaxy Tab roms for devices that have the IR blaster)
Once you root, the next step is installing TWRP so you can install roms.
I also have the V50020d UK version.
Stumproot which is available here worked fine for me, easiest root i have ever done. Just install apk and your done.
Installing and getting custom recovery to successfully flash a ROM is another story. I have managed to get TWRP flashed to the device and boots correctly. However it fails when i try to flash CM11 or any other ROM. After reading around I think I may have to downgrade the stock 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 in order to get TWRP to flash. I am not struggling to find the correct stock 4.2.2 kdz firmware for the v50020d device.
It's been a bit of a head scratcher! Let me know how you get on with yours.
Cracked it today. I've written a guide for all UK users who are stuck with V50020d, compiling all the info. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/help/v50020d-uk-root-twrp-flash-stock-4-4-2-t2938914
Hope it helps

I did mine with towelroot. I'll be looking to flash a custom recovery soon. I wanted to pop in here first to double check before going ahead with a recovery and a rom.
I new to LG and have 2 of these for my boys.
I have a us and uk one, i assume these will need different ways of rooting and flashing twrp etc?
I rooted one with Kingoroot no issues, but damn, getting cwm to install is a mare.
Both mine are on 4.4.2.
Looked at so many tuts, they all change due to time and i had to give up as was draining me.
Any tips on how to get cwm installed fella.
Best wishes
I've just created a tutorial for first time custom recovery installation.

Thank you Delta. I will check it out ASAP.
hey all,
My LG G3 D855 just got a new update found... V20F. I have 100% stock KitKat right now, V10o build, and its ROOTED.
If I do the software update automatically, will I lose root? Do I have to do anything like this whole bump thing etc? I just want Rooted V20F (Lollipop) and eventually I may put a rom on it... Am I ok? Or should I do something first?
thanks
If you want rooted Lollipop then dont do the update.
Flash TWRP and flash some prerooted Lollipop rom. That is the only way to have rooted Lollipop.
Newbie to rooting.
I'm gonna be exact with what I have.
Stock 4.4.2 (Lollipop available but I don't wanna get stuck in TWRP with an OTA)
TWRP Installed
Rooted G3.
NO, I REPEAT NO CUSTOM ROMS OR FRAMEWORKS.
I'm afraid T Mobile will force me the Lollipop update someday, and if it does, I will always boot into TWRP because TWRP doesn't work with OTA updates.
So... Here is what I want to do... In the easiest way possible.
I want to get TWRP off my phone, unroot my phone, so I can install Official 5.0
OR.... Is there a flashable OFFICIAL Lollipop G3 Zip I can flash using TWRP?
Please be patient with me, I may very well have future questions on this thread. Thanks a lot guys.

Is that not where you should be?

Follow the instructions in this thread to flash the update in TWRP. It's what I did and I dirty flashed without doing a factory reset in birh my wife's and my phone and everything works fine.

Download the kdz and do a clean flash. After that do a factory reset then root and install twrp. You can block lg updates with titanium backup
I have a sprint G3 and it had lollipop, I had to downgrade to KitKat 4.4.2 to get it rooted so ive got that far. I tried to install the "cloudy" rom and ended up bricking my phone and had to start all over again and now I'm back to the point of wanting to install a rom and gapps.
My question is.. ive read on here novastock will allow you too keep your laser for pics and other factory items ?.. and also what google apps zip do I need to install with it?
any help appreciated !!
nevermind.. I installed resurrection mod and it seems to be working fine.
Okay so, since all the links for AutoREC are broken. I wanted to know, how can I install TWRP on my US990 LG G3 running Android Lollipop (20A firmware)? Is it possible without AutoREC? I know the BUMP'D method will NOT work with Lollipop and the US990 has no flashable Lollipop ROM nor does it have flashable modems... The reason I ask is that I need the lollipop modems and everything installed to flash a marshmallow ROM (so it will be stable) and with KitKat modems it ends up crashing and messing up... So all in all, I need to install TWRP to Lollipop (20A) on the US990 (U.S. Cellular variant).
