Lg G3 Rooted but cant install TWRP

hey guys
ok so i rooted my lg g3 d855 and i have verified it is rooted with several apps. i tried to install twrp as my recovery and i have tried two methods
1. via ADB shell
2. an app called flashify
both say it has been installed and they reboot my phone and instead of gettin twrp recovery i get a black screen and a green and red flashing LED, i have left it for 10 mins thinking it was installing but nothing. i have to remove the battery to restart and it works fine (minus the twrp)
also i have checked i am using the correct recovery img as my model number is the d855 and the twrp is d855
please help!
also google has not helped
also please dont use big words as they will pass straight over my head
thanks in advance

you sir are lazy
if you did bother to search properly you would know that TWRP has not been ported to work natively with stock Lollipop on LG G3

oh? so i have a rooted lg g3 that i cant put a custom rom on? is there anything i can do?

I did the same thing like OP and now my phone can't boot into recovery or download mode. So I can't flash it with LG flash tool. Is there a way to revert back to stock recovery?

Can you tell me, now I stuck at this waypoint can I do anything? Maybe downgrade to KitKat?

bro check if inside the back cover it is d850 .if it is u have probably bought it for less money so to flash twrp u have to select img of d850 nd flash it using flashify.believe me bro it will work as it for me and u probably may have a problem of no update to lollipop then go for it .sorry for bad English

Facing same problem.
Could somebody help me.

D852 Fido
Hello there
I am new to this forum and to rooting devices and I apologize in advance if I can't even express myself properly.
So, I have D852 from Fido (Quebec) that I really like and want to keep.
Until recently, it had stock MM and everything was fine.
I downgraded to LP 5.0.1 Telus and managed to get it rooted (phone works fine but no data since downgrade).
I then tried to install TWRP and for whatever reason, it doesn't work.
I used ADB, AutoRec, Flashify, TWRP Official App, nothing works.
They all show that the installation is successful but when I try to boot to recovery (Quickboot, ADB, Power&Vol-), all I get is red/blue led flashes then I press Volume Down and the phone boots normally.
I really want to get TWRP on it so I can flash the latest Oreo on it.
Thank you in advance

Would updating to Marshmallow and using MM Autorec help with installing TWRP on the D855? http://turbobit.net/fg6nmu0ujhpo.html

Probably should have started a new thread, this is for D855. For your D852, try Marshmallow Autorec, worked for me: https://mega.nz/#F!rtI1naZT!LJIKUVpv8fYjrvhpykA4_A!2o433RBZ

Hello, I have problems with my phone. I need help almost desperately.
I can't do anything with my phone now. As you probably read, until about two weeks ago I had Fido stock MM on D852.
I managed to downgrade to Telus LP 5.0.1. After the successful downgrade, I was able to root my phone but not to install TWRP.
Now I can't install any KDZ, not even going back to Rogers/Fido MM.
How can I PM you for faster and better communication?
Thank you in advance,

Hello Whatsgoingon,
I can't try MM because the phone doesn't let me flash original Rogers/Fido (D852) KDZ.
I am currently rooted on LP 5.0.1 and I do get OTA upgrade message to MM. Should I upgrade then try your method?
Is there any risk that I will not be able to do it and get stuck with MM without the ability to downgrade to LP or KK again?
I only want root and TWRP to be able to flash custom ROMs.
Thank you,

I can't make any guarantees, but for me it worked.
I had no other option as I was stuck on MM with no kdz/tot for Lollipop or Kit Kat for my D852, so I have no experience downgrading. It worked great for me on MM and I tried everything else to get TWRP on my phone.
This file does not seem to be restricted to a specific carrier and is supposed to work on all D852s, but you can check this thread to see if anyone tried it on a Fido: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/apk-flash-twrp-autorec-thanks-to-t3081396

IMPORTANT!!!!!!! shut down LGUP!
Now open LGUP again - you will notice that the MM KDZ will still be showing in the FILE PATH section. Select REFURBISH and make sure BIN file is ticked. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient

INSTALL TWRP
Make sure you have ADB and Fastboot installed.
I always put TWRP.img in the ADB folder - so if I want to boot into TWRP with out installing it this is what I do:
make sure you open a command prompt in the ADB folder "VERY IMPORTANT" and type:
adb reboot bootloader <enter>
fastboot boot TWRP.img <whatever your TWRP image is called in your ADB folder><enter> dont forget the .img at the end
That will re-start your phone straight into TWRP - You can transfer files to and from your computer while in recovery.
If you want to install TWRP permanently, copy your TWRP image to your mobile "while you are in TWRP RECOVERY mode" then press install then select images then select recovery NOT BOOT then swipe to flash. This method does not install TWRP app on your phone, all you need is a reboot app from the play store that will re-boot you into recovery.

Not sure but I'll put that in the op cheers.

Do you need root so use this method to upgrade to marshmallow ?

H81520A_00.Kdz flashed (by upgrade option) succesfully. It takes 10-15 mins(longest part is "android upgrading" screen.), and i lost root access. By the way root access is not necessary for upgrade.

So since it wasn't clarified, I'll be the one to ask...
Will this work on a unit without root (which is yes according to the OP), and without a bootloader unlock, ie the Taiwan (TWN) variant of the H815.
I completely understand it's a complete wipe and root will not be retained.

I would also like to know about this..... will it work on a unit with a locked bootloader... TWN variant?

downloaded from a different mirror re flashed no problems

info
i tried with this tutorial , but the program search my lg g4 with unknown model and i can't use this procedure..
why?
at moment i have a unlocked bootloader and a 10 ve rooted rom twrp

Tried to flash rom, ran into a few problems

Had a bit of a roller coaster ride over the past 12 hours trying to flash lineageos onto my phone. Let me try to give an idea of what has happened so you guys know what's up:
To start off:
I downloaded the unlock apk from the asus website and ran it last night
Afterwards, I loaded into fastboot and installed twrp
I made a backup using twrp and then I wiped the internal storage
Tried to flash the lineageos rom and got error 7
I thought I would restart the phone and try again. Not being able to get back into bootloader I thought I bricked my phone. It was late night so I decided to sleep and come back to it.
Woke up this morning and got into bootloader (I assume I was just pressing the buttons incorrectly)
Restored my backup and used my phone for a bit
After googling, found that I needed to modify some files in the lineageos zip to fix the errror 7. Proceeded to do so by wiping again and flashing the modified rom along with gapps.
Got into bootloop. So I turned the phone off and booted into boot loader hoping to get into twrp again, and try once more. Now, when I select recovery mode, it doesnt work and puts me back to bootloader.
So this is where I am now. And I've tried a couple of things, that may or may not have messed this phone up.
First off I've tried to, reinstall twrp.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM0ODzSb1y4 ( wrong link )
https://youtu.be/BJPEc1NG_k8
Using this link I ran the file that he has given while in bootloader. Nothing changed. So I also tried to just download the latest twrp and flash that. Resulting with the same situation as before.
With a little more google I figured I would flash some stock images.
http://www.android.gs/how-to-unbrick-asus-zenfone-2-and-go-back-to-stock-android-os/
With this website. I went and downloaded firmware from asus website. Extracted it and went about flashing each item. That is when I realized that the file doesnt contain a system.img. ****.
At this point I also had a system.img from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/enter-recovery-551ml-z00a-t3345633/page2
And I just proceeded to try and flash that in replacement for what I did not have. But I got an error:
http://imgur.com/a/TldyG
Now from what I see here. It wiped it without adding anything. So now I'm a little scared.
I found this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5BNfaU_O9o
With links to various files. Now I'm not sure if I can just download one and flash each file like before.
TL;DR: I've tried to flash lineageos. It put me into bootloop. I can't get back into recovery. I tried to flash some img files I found and I messed up (check imgur link above). Not sure where to go from here.
Thanks for any help guys.

What were you on before you started? Usually the error 7 is because you weren't on the right bootloader. In this case you need the MM bootloader. If you were coming from Lollipop that would explain it.

My bad I should have also included the model number in the post, I'm using the ZE551ML. Yeah, I believe I was on 5.0 when I started. If I hadn't all of this would have been solved? I'm so sad.
MM bootloader? (Sorry, I'm a newbie at this) So where would I go from here? Finding the MM bootloader and installing it with fastboot as well as trying to get twrp working again?
Thanks for the quick reply.

It sounds from your first post that the drivers should already be installed. Fastboot commands worked for you before right?

Thank you. Thank you. I am downloading the raw right now. Will update when I use the flash tool and try the modder.
For the modder it looks like I will:
-unlock bootloader
-install twrp
-root
and there is an option of installing xposed. Seems like it gives you more versatility when flashing roms. Do you think it is stable and has enough support to be used with the zenfone? Are updates done automatically and does the framework stay when updating/flashing roms?

Getting an error now running the asus flash tool. Any idea? http://imgur.com/a/gOqf2
Also, is it safe to turn the device off? After flashing the imgs I'm scared to turn it off. If I accidentally boot into os will the phone break?

If you plan on installing LinOS. You don't need to root first. (you can if you want, but it would be a waste of time). Xposed is great but I don't think it works with LinOS yet. (at least that was the case when I was on that rom) LinOS does have weekly Ota updates. Just need to have twrp 3.0.3 or higher for the update process to work

G4 is Finally Unlocked!

After a year of hard work, @steadfasterX has finally unlocked our device! Hopefully we'll get some new roms soon. Full thread is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/unlock-unlock-lg-g4-device-usu-t3760451
Edit: We are currently able to run any custom rom for H811 on our device! One thing is that we must do the modem flash in TWRP that steadfaster mentions in his FAQ.
Edit 2: Currently only stock Lollipop or stock Marshmallow will run on VS986 with everything working. AOSCP and other custom roms will boot but you will not pull the correct APN for Verizon and therefore will have data but no cell service including MMS or voice calls. You must have the stock MM bootloader stack flashed after you go through the UsU process for everything to work correctly and the stock MM modem.

@fates13,
I know you're trying to get Nougat working on your VS986 and it's not 100% working yet.
I suggest people wait until you get things resolved if they rely on their VS986 as their daily phone.
Please post an update here once you think everything is working. The other thread has a lot of posts since it covers other G4 models too.
Thank you

@fates13,
Were you able to get your VS986 to the point of everything worked after UsU unlock and ROM installation?

Yes but only stock MM works properly with data and cell. This can probably be fixed by a proper rom developer for our phone. Advanced calling also doesn't work properly so just waiting until @steadfasterX has time to make a UsU patched kernel for stock MM.

Are you able to boot to twrp.
If your still stuck on boot.img go to your salt back ups is located in the home folder and right click in the folder and click open in terminal put your phone in fastboot mode type in terminal "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and after that "fastboot reboot" and see if your phone boots up if you don't have the salt backup let me know

How exactly did you install TWRP? Or if you solely used magisk, how did you flash the patched_boot.img?

I was asking you about TWRP to see if you installed it. You flash all the files in fastboot. You get into fastboot by unplugging the battery wait 4 seconds plug it back in hold volume down and plug your phone in to your computer you should be in fastboot mode. You can download TWRP from the unlock Page. I will upload the pach boot.img and paste the link for TWRP later because I'm not at my computer right now. Be careful NOT to flash the aboot.img you should only flash the boot.img (once I upload it) and the recovery.img right now

Ah, different person than you were talking to before. The way I read your post, it sounded like maybe you figured out a way to sideload (if that is the correct term) the patched boot image that magisk makes without the part of the UsU method that causes "Once you go this way - there is no way back! SERIOUSLY. The only way to make the device exactly like before is replacing the mainboard. If you're scared: good." Maybe something like this: ?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/how-to-determine-dd-parameters-lg-g4-t3184867
Was just looking into my options for if I should wait until a method comes out that doesn't make a permanent alteration or if I should just go ahead and take the plunge with UsU. Your thoughts on whether that change that is made could affect me badly in the long run?

sorry about that the only way to root the latest FW is to unlock the bootloader. as long as you flow the guide and read carefully you shud be fine and if it's too scary just downgraded to LP and root that way (look on xda Verizon G4 general tab)

Has any one got calling and texting working on any costum rom for vs986?

Probably a dumb question, but I'm on 13b rooted. I read through the unlock thread and it mentions MM is required and anti rollback <=2. My ARB value is currently 2. Can I just use LGUP to flash stock MM? Will this preserve my ARB value?

TMo V30 receiving update as of 10/30/18

System update is rolling out to T Mobile V30's ....
October security patch.

716 megs. Must be some bug fixes in there too? Baseband version and build number (obviously) are different, still 8.0.0 and 4.4.78 kernel.

It looks like there is a camera update and some AOD updates as well. I am a bit intrigued by the new AOD options.

Is it just me or the new Outfocus (portrait) mode is broken? After I take a picture it tells me that the portrait effect couldn't be applied because it couldn't find a face in the saved picture?
P.S. Also intrigued by the ned AOD options, and fade in animation.
Edit: Fixed it by clearing data and cache.

Impossible. Just reapply magisk and TWRP.

Anyone else have issues trying to update? I've tried twice on via the on phone update both times it downloaded but reboots to just error symbol and after manual reboot says verification problem. I've also tried twice via Bridge but it seems to fail in download phase.

Wouldn't you have to go through the whole process of re-rooting it again?

You can always wait for someone to make a flash able zip of it with stock recovery removed

If you have TWRP just install Magisk again and you are back to being rooted.

I thought if bootloader was unlocked then you couldn't install an OTA and have to flash it through LG bridge or whatever the program is for flashing kdz? This was last I remember but maybe I missed something.

Right. You can't install inferior partial image OTA, if you have TWRP.
Wait for the superior full image KDZ. Flash through LGUP, DL PARTITION, but UNcheck recovery partitions to keep TWRP. At least that's how all the other V30 do it, if we don't have flashable TWRP ROM.

Thanks. I'll wait for a flashable TWRP Rom since I've not rooted my phone yet. Might as well just wait for a few days. Hope someone will post one soon.

I don't think that will work for TMobile users. We need to wait for a zip we can flash in TWRP.

Of course. You are right. Everything has a tradeoff unfortunately but OTA usually requires you to reinstall Magisk to get root back.

OTA won't even install with TWRP.
And you need TWRP to get Magisk.
Why do people keep only talking about Magisk? TWRP is why you can't and don't want to install an OTA.

Why not?
You can use LGUP, to DL PARTITION.
You can Uncheck recovery partitions.
You can then boot to TWRP. (hardware dance buttons)
You can then flash Magisk, the no encryption and no Root Check files again.
Is there something I'm missing?
Well, for people who were silly enough to replace their Download mode with 2ND copy of TWRP, NO they can't do that. You need Download mode to flash KDZ via LGUP. But everyone else with H932 can do that.

Well if you check running thread for h932 root, you will see a guy who said he wished he had a second copy of TWRP on LAF. He paid for it. Not sure what happened but when a DEV gives that type of advice, you take it.

If you flash laf again, will that bring dl mode back? I'm all gung ho to learn how to convert kdz to a flashable zip. Not sure if my linux machine has enough computing power though.

Thank you. I'm all set, still have it on my sd card from lafsploit.
I'm more interested in learning to convert a kdz to flashable twrp zip.
