[q] root - recovery - android now hd

Hi Guys
Im new to installing custom Roms on the G3 as I have been using Samsungs for a while.
I have Lolipop 5.0 on my device at the moment but I understand I have to revert to stock rom in order to root my device,.
I need to know what method I need to use for Rooting, what recovery to use and how to successfully install the custom rom.
Any help would be appreciated,
Chris

No not with the method you quoted above this is root only you can't install Twrp recovery unless you downgrade.At the moment it is not possible to install Twrp on Stock Lollipop without downgrading you can only root.:crying:

None of the G4s except the 815EU and H811 (TMo) variant have an unlocked bootloader available. The H815 you have to get unlocked via the LG support site and the H811 is unlocked by default from TMobile.

use xposed-v75-sdk22-arm64
And install the Xposed apk after finishing flashing the zip file
Good luck

You need an unlocked bootloader in order to install a boot recovery as far as I know.

yesss !! it worked fine by using flashfire ( i mean XPOSED) .. i waited 30 minutes after screen off .. then it works 100%
thank u crazylife

I can upload the system image to google drive if you would like me to just PM me?

No, root wasn't kept. You could try flash the repack of the v20 rom from Seven, but it does say for boot loader unlocked devices only.

Running the good ol' KitKat 4.4.2 Need guidance to update

Hi I just bought a LG D855,
It's currently running the old KitKat right outta he box. Build Number: KVT49L, Software Version: V10n-GLOBAL-COM
The phone is missing the Update Center and thus I don't get any OTAs, I've decided to flash a custom MM for the phone. However while I try to flash TWRP via Flashify, it reboots into Fastboot and I see no sign of TWRP. Is there a specific TWRP I have to flash for KitKat?
Also, should I first update to LL and then to MM? I'd like to use any custom MM rom close to stock there is.
Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Kind sirs, pray link me to the ROM that's closest to stock for any suggestions you may have personally. :highfive:
Thank you so much in advance.:victory:

So that's exactly what I though. This .img file is only for K420N/DS. You flashed it on K430TV, so that's why the phone won't start.
