I got a g pro given to me. AT&T. I want to root and put a recovery on it.
Towelroot, and then the apk with recovery package? Thank u guys
Here's a picture of what I have.
Run towelroot, and if that works out, go to the play store and download freegee to install either twrp or cwm recovery, your choice. I don't know what is in the TWRP folder, probably the flashable zip file. GPRO recovery is probably the stock recovery. I'm guessing the plan is to have you get rooted first with towelroot, then run GPRO_Recovery, and flash TWRP zip file. That is way too cumbersome, download freegee, run towelroot, then run freegee and choose your recovery, and you don't even have to leave.
OK. Cool bro. thank u my dude. Also what roms can we run? Any suggestions?
Ok towelroot did work! Bout to run freegee
Ok I'm good to go. Got twrp, backed up my stock setup. What Roms are we able to run on AT&T variant? Thanks for the help too. Appreciate it.
Can the TWRP recovery b updated once it's on my device? I noticed the one freegee provides is an older version.
Cm11 and vanir are two of official released ones you can download. There are many unofficial released ones (somebody takes the ROM's source code and compiles a workable ROM for lg ogp, but it's not affiliate with the ROM's Dev) you can download from the xda forum's optimus g pro development section. If you're not sure which ROM to get, I suggest you start with the official released ROM.
Regarding the twrp update, yes, you can flash twrp that comes with your phone if it's newer. Also, you can try download the latest version from their web site, and flash it with twrp you currently have. I'm not familiar with twrp since I'm using cwm. You can also get the newest twrp through these two apps: ROM toolbox or ROM manager. Just make sure you don't pay for the twrp if either of those apps ask you to buy it, because it's free.

I don't think you'll find a newer TWRP for that phone. It will, however, work just fine for most ROMs.

Pac-man ROM is the nicer of the US/English CM roms I've tried.
If you don't want a CyanogenMod rom, then Bountyman's G3 or VUPMP G3 roms will be great: both are better than stock. I've had better luck with stability with the VUPMP; mileage is variable etc. and whatnot.
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!

Perfect! Thanks a ton to you and @bender_007 both!
Hate to make a new thread but couldn't find an answer in any other ones. I'm rooted D850 running latest lollipop from att 21r update. How can I install twrp without getting the security error on lg screen? This security error stops os and recovery from booting. I tried using twrp manager already.
Have you already tried pushing the 2.8.7.0 bumped version of recovery via adb?...
TWRP 2.8.7.0 for LG G3

you just don't want to listen or to let people help you
Why isn't twrp manager working ?
- We used bump to "sign" our kernel and recoveries to the bootloader see them as legit.
That was on kitkat. What do we do now? We downgrade the bootloader to kitkat bootloader, we use bumped recoveries and kernel.
So by using twrp manager TWRP will NOT work for you, but you will be still able to boot.
- Why didn't autorec work for you ?
IT DID. You had twrp but it couldn't boot since your system wasn't bootable with the "less recent" kernel provided in autorec.
-How can we fix it ?
1. download flashify(you have to be rooted)
2. click backup kernel -> and let it upload to dropbox
3. send me the link
4. wait 10 minutes, I upload autorec d850 21R(which then will work also on lower versions)
PROFITS:
-you don't make 10 threads
-you help other people out
-you don't get a unbootable android
CONS:
-none

I answered you to send me a backup of your kernel. So we can also help other people.
Other thing that would work is simple flashing any custom d850 kernel.
EDIT: nevermind, I'll find it somewhere else.
Hi guys,
I've planned to do a CSE flash (means "with data loss") of latest official rom and then switch from the obsolete CloudyG3 to the FulmicsRom.
So I'll need TWRP recovery, but according to my experience it need to be "bumped", otherwise I get a Secure Boot error.
Autorec is considered the best solution, now I want to know:
1) How Autorec works to prevent this?
2) I'll get latest 2.8.7.0 TWRP recovery or the 2.8.6.0 instead?
3) I'll definitely solve bootloader issues, also when in future I'll manually flash "non-bumped" recoveries?
Ps i would appreciate more a better method to obtain the same result (the freedom of use non-bumped recovery).
The only I know is the "oem-unlock", but it's irreversible so I dislike it.

1) Autorec flash the "bumped" kitkat bootloader.
2) I have the 2.8.7.0, but its up to you really.
3) If you flash a not bumped rom or recovery, you will get a secure boot error. But, everything is bumped because its the only bootloader unlock that we have

So Autorec is useless, if I obtain the same result and limitations of a manual bumped recovery flash.
Why make useless bootloader changes if same result without mess up other partitions?
So, if I understand well, Autorec make exactly what I manually do by flashing of a "signed" boot/recovery partition.
I'm wrong?

Its useless if you are still on kitkat, but if you're on lollipop and you want to install a custom rom or recovery, you don't need to downgrade with tot, loose everything, flash bump, and go on... it make things easier in that case.
In fact,
Bump make believe to the phone that what you try to boot is legit,
While Autorec install the bumped kitkat boot partition if you are on lollipop.
And the bootloader change is not useless if you're on lollipop because bump don't work on lollipop.
If you are on the cloudy Rom, you already have TWRP installed.
You don't need to go back to stock.
Just boot to recovery: turn off, press vol.down+power, when you see the LG logo release the buttons and press then again units you see the recovery the factory reset. Say yes both questions and then you are in TWRP.
Copy the new ROM on the SD card and flash it.

So you're saying that FulmicsRom, based on 21A, will works greaceful even under 20H system (bootloader, etc.)?
The CloudyG3 developer suggest to flash latest official rom before its latest custom one.
I think it's true for FulmicsRom too.

Regarding the rom, I never needed to look for bumped releases.
On my device I flashed both Resurrection Remix (CM-based) and CloudyG3 without any problem: as requirements only the root access and a TWRP bumped recovery.
Probably the cited roms are signed by default, so the scenario described by you may happens only in other systems like MIUI or Ubuntu Touch... given that they are unsigned, I'm doing only an example.
I continue to be confused regarding the aim of Autorec.
So, why if I flash a non-bumped recovery I continue to get Secure Boot errors? The bootloader may be modified to prevent this behaviour, but Autorec won't do that.
So what it does?

If you flash a non-bumped recovery, its normal that you get "Secure Boot Error" because bump is the "unlock". Everything on the g3 must be bumped to boot.
Autorec flash the kitkat bootloader if you are on lollipop (to make bump work) and after it flash a bumped twrp (recovery), that's all.

Yes, you can flash on top of the cloudy no need to go back to stock.
The only thing you have to do is wipe all partitions except the sd before flashing.
Both ROMs are stock based.
If you decide to flash a KDZ or TOT to go back to stock you will have to root first and then use Autorec.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.
I was afraid regarding the compatibility of the actual 20H bootloader with custom 21A rom, CloudyG3 is based on 20H but works under the same bootloader.
But you're telling me it's not existing any kind of problem with that.
So I can flash rom in the easier way (from zip file with TWRP recovery).

So we can say that Autorec is useful only when I work with TWRP on official (obviously rooted) firmware.
But since the cited rom is only "based" on official, I'm not needing to use Autorec, if I directly flash bumped version of TWRP.

Listen... Lollipop bootloader DOES NOT accept BUMP.
So what autorec app by Bender does is flash a kitkat bootloader which ACCEPTS BUMP.
Autorec also flashes the bumped TWRP to recovery partition.
So... if you have TWRP you are on kitkat bootloader and you can flash whatever you want that is bumped. All images based on whichever version of ROM 21A, 20H or any of the other ones you find will work on that bootloader.
To finalize, yes you can flash it the easy way with TWRP.

Clearful, thank you so much... even if uppercases may seem offensive (like you talk to a stupid who won't understand)
So if I start from an official 21A firmware, I need to:
1) Root device;
2) Install and execute Autorec;
3) Flash anything from the bumped TWRP (automatically installed by Autorec alongside the KitKat bootloader).

I've been out of the ROMing game on the V500 for quite a while. I last flashed a pre-rooted stock ROM back in 2015 when Lollipop was released. I would like to update to the latest version of Lineage OS. I currently have a "bumped" version of TWRP installed, 2.8.6.0. I believe the bump is so it passes the bootloader check when the device is powered on. Is it safe to update TWRP to 3.1.1.0 using TWRP's official app or will this cause problems since it isn't bumped? Is it even necessary to update to the newest version of TWRP to flash LineageOS?
I looked around in the threads and saw posts about installing TWRP from scratch, but nothing about updating TWRP or a "bumped" version of the newer version of TWRP.

Download twrp (credits: fefiform) from here: https://dl.twrp.me/v500/
Install it using flashify or your current twrp by installing the image. Don't use twrp app since some users often get bugs with it
No need for bump since v500 is already unlocked
I suggest to try crdroid since lineageOS has battery problems & bugs like WiFi
