So I recently bought an Lg G3 D851 and the phone was already Rooted and bootloader unlocked. So i downloaded some root checkers to verify and then installed SuperSU. Since after doing some research I knew that the T-Mobile variant comes with a factory unlocked bootloader. I tried flashing the latest twrp from their own website using flashify, it would flash successfully but instead of going into twrp when rebooting into recovery, it just says: Fastboot mode started. It is the same case for all the other recoveries i could find for the d851. Im on Kitkat 4.4.2.
You can try using the latest twrp i think is 3.0.0.2, and your problem of fastboot.
Re-flash the system since a tot or kdz becasue you have damaged the bootloader and the recovery givin that the last hope who is fastboot mode.
i hope have you fixed the problem.

Hi Guys,
I searched the forums and only found dead links. I am searching for the stock recovery image for my g pad. Anyone have it?
I am on V50020d, 4.4.2, 3.4.0.
I am rooted (towelroot) and using Flashify. I accidentally flashed TWRP 2.8.0.0 before I unlocked the bootloader. I read that if I try to unlock the bootloader now that I will soft brick my g pad. So I am planning to flash the stock recovery image using flashify and then unlock the bootloader so I can flash TWRP again and then install Slim rom.
Hi I need help. I recently got this phone.
Rooted it with stump root, and flashed TWRP 2.8.4 using flashify.
I tried to flash a custom rom, but the wiping data part had an error. Stupidly enough, I proceeded to flash the rom zip and it got stuck flashing so I had to power it off. Now my phone is stuck on the boot logo. The only thing I can do with it is turn it off, or enter download mode. But I can't enter recovery mode. I read somewhere that it is possible to go back to stock recovery using the flashtool. Problem is I don't know which firmware I have. The only information I had about the firmware was that it was ls980vze because that's what I saw when I was flashing something. How do I deal with this? :crying:
p/s if there's a way that I can access twrp, maybe that' would work because I made a nandroid backup before. Don't know if that's useful though.

Okay, quick and easy.
There is a zve tot, though before we do much. Custom ROM as in which one?
Anything CM based is radio zv8, if it is a cloudyfa ROM; you can be zva to zve radio.
So depending on which can save trouble.
Root, depends on which version you are. Zv8 - go with ioroot25. Zve - use stump root.
Next thing, forget flashify. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Tried and true method, Auto-rec. Only after root.
Upgrade TWRP through TWRP by gator's zip of bumped and such. Or use TWRP app.
Again if your zv8, flash your CM based ROM of choice.
Zva-zve, flash your stock based like cloudyfa's Roms and such.

I tried to flash Validus ROM so i'm guessing that's zv8? I am rooted btw. Wait so you can upgrade twrp by flashing another twrp file? When I used flashify, after flashing the 2.8.4 bumped twrp it rebooted to my current twrp 2.7.0 and flashed it so I thought it was just the same. I'm pretty sure I am zve. Can I flash a zv8 rom if I have a zve rom? How do I get out from the bootloop?

Basically you're stuck using the ZVE tot to bring it back to factory. Be sure to boot it at least once as the phone will have to re-activate itself.
Try the zv8 modem

And if not, then try you and always check the op carefully before flashing.
Hello !
I installed the 5.1.1 AOSP rom to update my 5.0 rom (AOSP too) by my TWRP recovery. I wanted to next flash SuperSU, but when i try to enter in recovery mode, i got this : "Secure booting error : Boot certification verify". I tried to reinstall the recovery, but i need to be rooted, and for being rooted, i need to flash SuperSU, so i'm stuck.
I can use my tablet perfectly, but i can't get to the recovery.
Thank you for your help !
What variant of the the G Pad 8.3 are you using? VK810, V500, V510? You HAVE to find out how to root first because without root, you can't flash a custom recovery. I only know rooting details for the VK810 and I'm guessing you have the V510 (GPE - Google Play Edition) since you say you're on AOSP already. I'm sure if it's rootable there's a thread in these sections about it for your variant. When a device is rootable, there's always an initial way to get there without flashing SuperSU, except possibly for Samsung when you can flash ODIN-compatible repackaged custom recoveries.
I forgot to put it but i have a V500, i didn't had this problem when i installed 5.0 AOSP (firstly i had the LG stock ROM).
I saw that i can install TWRP with ADB, but it is for the GPE only :/
If you already had TWRP flashed then you've got some other problem going on. Maybe you have to downgrade the bootloader (aboot.img) in order to get into custom recovery on the V500? We do on the VK810. If that's the case then that means that somehow you had updated your bootloader since the last time you got into TWRP.
You might end up having to go back to square one, put whatever stock ROM on it that allows you to root it and install TWRP, ensure you can get into TWRP and the ROM fine, then flash whatever ROM you want. If the ROM you want doesn't already have root capability baked in, such as current CyanogenMod builds do, then make sure and flash SuperSU from TWRP before you exit out of custom recovery.
Hello everyone! I'm not really new to this Android rooting and unlocking bootloader stuff (I did this to my previous Xperia phones) but I'm "new" with it now because I'm now an LG user. I currently own the D855 Global variant.
So here are my questions:
1.) Is it necessary to unlock the bootloader to flash custom ROMs? Or is root enough? (I rooted my phone yesterday and installed TWRP with AutoRec for D855 users) I'm kinda interested with the Cloudy G3 ROM.
2.) Is it necessary to unlock the bootloader to flash custom kernels?
3.) What does bump mean? I haven't heard this term before.
1) No, you do not need to unlock your bootloader on lg g3 to flash Cloudy ROM or other custom ROMs.
You are not even able to unlock the bootloader on this phone currently. If you already
flashed TWRP go get your Cloudy ROM and flash it with TWRP.
2) Again no. Like I said you are not able to unlock bootloader on this phone currently.
But you will be able to flash custom kernels because they are BUMPed.
3) And finally BUMP is a way of signing boot image so it could be booted on LG bootlader without the bootloader itself being unlocked. All XDA ROMS for LG G3 I found here are already prebumped so you are able to download them and flash immediately.

Thank you so much! Another question tho, if I flash any stock based custom kernel, how do I get back to stock if in any case I would want to?
Before flashing anything you should always do backup with TWRP or other custom recovery you already have. If you did your backup there, just restore it that way.
In case you did not, you are able to use LG flash tool and flash stock kdz files.
Also you could backup your boot.img(kernel that is...) using app like Flashify and restore it with it if necessary.
And again I recommend doing a nandroid backup with TWRP before flashing anything at all.
Hello Everyone, I was using Sprint LS980 with LS980ZVD Firmware in which Access Point Name Option is available, recently I was curious to try out CloudyG2 2.2 for which I have rooted my phone with towelroot and installed TWRP recovery through autorec. Now I want to restore my LS980ZVD backup with stock recovery but the problem is that I had not backed up the stock recovery before getting TWRP recovery. I have tried TOTing back to ZVC than take OTA update of ZVD and backing up the stock recovery using flashify but when I am flashing this recovery with my old LS980ZVD firmware my phone is stucked in "Recovery Mode Loading...". I'm writing this post to ask if someone using this phone in Pakistan or any other country and have their phone unlocked (with LS980ZVD and access point name option) and have backed up the stock recovery and can upload it here. I will be very thankful to him. Thank you and Love you guys. :victory:
