There are lots of guides to rooting the Verizon LG G3. Many of them are older and have problems working on the 24B software version of Android 5.0.1. I guess I have 2 questions: 1) Is there presently a method to root this phone? 2.) TWRP says, "you must be rooted and vulnerable to BUMP to use TWRP on this device." I don't know what vulnerable to BUMP means. Yes, I know I could try to Google it, but I haven't been very successful at finding an answer that I understand.
EDIT: Root achieved. Still looking for a reliable install process for TWRP
Have you had any luck getting TWRP on stock 24B? The only option I've seen is to bump TWRP to 23C and use JasmineROM 8.0.

I was able to get TWRP on my rooted 24B with a new version of autorec @bender_007 used the firmware from my phone to build it. Where else can you get service like that! When you use 24B version from that page, you may be on TWRP 2.8.6.1 If he hasn't had a chance to update it yet. You can go to 2.8.7.0 if you want, but be certain to use the version from 777jon thread and NOT directly from TWRP. In all cases just double check you are getting the correct version for your phone. You should be able to run TWRP with no errors, and the install could not be easier. Just follow the instructions on the OP. Enjoy!

Either downgrade to Kitkat using TOT/KDZ and LG Upgrade Tool or if you want a one click method and trust Chinese downloads, then download Autorec and root package from:
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1o6YpUsE
Use password: rjte
Navigate to one of the folders which has kingroot app, which roots temporarily and then use autorecmm app for D858HK. This should downgrade bootloader to Kitkat, install TWRP, downgrade modem to compatible version and flash bumped MM boot image. Of course, permanent root with SuperSu will be there as well.
If you prefer DIY methods then there are a few other posts by me and @topet2k12001 which should be helpful.

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).

root is the problem, I am not able to root my Phone, I tried Kingroot, but no luck,
You must install to KingRoot in latest version from its official site. Then run the application and leaves that the process is complete. In the end, the application will show an error message indicating that it has not been possible to establish root on your phone. You should try to at least three times. If the error persists, install the application root check and verify if the root permissions have been granted.

Install TWRP Manager from play store and install recovery from this app. When you have already installed recovery, you can reinstall the rom and make sure you always of flash supersu from the recovery so that you end up with root permissions

I am not sure of the steps for your variant. You will try to do through of adb/console. Find on Internet how to obtain root permission from adb/console for your model.

Hello, autorec for g3 exists only for 5.0.x
however the right way would be:
1. download twrp manager from playstore
2. flash twrp using twrp manager
OR
1. download flashify from playstore
2. download twrp foe d850, extract the zip
3. inside the extracted files there is recovery.img, flash it using flashify
use quickboot to reboot to recovery
note that these ways are only for 4.4.2
you´re welcome, there will be new users who also aren´t familiar with the procedure and you can point them to the right direction, too.
Cheers

I need to uninstall TWRP so I can install the newest update for my LG G3 as TWRP is causing an error doing update.
I tried to use TWRP manager but I dont see any way to use to uninstall TWRP.
I looked at using flashily but that dont seem to work either.
I dont want to do anything drastic to just remove TWRP let the phone get updated and then reinstall TWRP.

You can't remove TWRP as you install it. In their website it is said "Simply install whatever recovery that you want and that will overwrite or replace TWRP".
Doing kdz would remove TWRP. But I don't know whether that is helpful in your case.

All you need to do is flash stock recovery via dd or via flashify.
If you cant obtain it anywhere from forum here, then extract it from kdz.
If you dont know how, I might have time to do it for you if you give me your G3 model version.

My first backup on my phone using flashify was after I already installed TWRP and I made a backup of that.
This phone has been getting its updates through FreedomPop stock updates as I just got phone last month.
If you can post or link my the file needed to get back to stock that be great.
The LG G3 model version is LGLS990 Hardware revision number is 1.0 TIA!

Flash stock kdz...if you are on lolipop flash it with lg flash tool...you can't install update whatever you install stock recovery because you root your phone....so you have to do a cse flash or install kdz version totally different from your version.
Where Can I get the 6.0 stock ROM and just use TWRP to install it as opposed to removing TWRP letting system update itself and then having to reinstall TWRP.

I can't seem to find stock 6.0 ROM for Sprint version but here is a very stable port as reported by it's users:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-lge-d855-android-marshmallow-ported-t3285025
You can flash it in TWRP, but please make a backup of your current ROM if this one proves to be buggy.
As for the official stock ROM provided by Sprint in form of kdz or tot, idk if it exists, but you could check here:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Replace 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' with your IMEI.
It's ok to put your IMEI, thats LG official download server.
So I found the Update.zip file that was trying to be installed to update my LG G3 and wondering why I cant install the zip directly using TWRP as I keep getting error message from TWRP and when phone reboots method and when I try to install Update directly it using TWRP I get same error message
The error code is 7 which happen during rebooting phone when attempting to install the Update.zip that way and now that I found the Update.zip file and try to flash it I get same error trying to install file that way.
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.
