I currently have a G3 installed on it TWRP and it is not with Root or anything I just want to restore it to the recovery that came with the phone.
Is there a way to do this without losing information, etc.?

Hi,
How to root LG SU 640 with V20F firmware. My phone was on V20D rooted, then updated to V20F with LG PC software and lost root. Procedures for older versions seem to be not working with this. Is there any way to root? Need root to 1. uninstall annoying Korean SKT apps, 2. install custom ROM.
Thank you.

Revert to GB rom, root, flash custom recovery, flash custom rom.

Thanks, If I want to stick with stock for a while then? And flashing ROM is a tedious process, I would keep it as last option. Noway to root V20F?
you can root it, you cant put custom recovery.
best bet is to get back to GB root, custom recovery, put custom Stock ics rom if thats what you want.
Edit: i have rooted it but dont remember if that was 20D or 20F, but i did get root and able to delete system files. but get soft brick every time i tried to flash recovery. but after the new wind kernels i forgot about ICS and stock ROM's.
Hello guys, i was wondering since I've made the 5.0 update (european) if it was possible for me to flash a custom rom like cyanogen without root (because root isn't an option since llp) ?

After flashing a ROM, flash SuperSu 2.4 to get root.

But how do I flash without root ?
It's noobish question, i can't get to recovery, I've tried with the Power and vol down keys, all i can get is a menu to erase my data, thats it.
Firsh backup your data. Then go back to EU stock ROM:
here are the stock ROMs: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G3%2FStock%2F
how to go back to your stock ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
Now you can root your LG G3, use TWRP/CWM custom recovery and flash custom ROM.

Thank you, I hoped there was another way, i will downgrade then, thanks.
maybe there is. Im not pro neither I received OTA for 5.0, but I wanted to have my LG rooted, so I had to downgrade and now I am running AN HD.
And use that to restore what is currently an F240 to Stock ATT? Clearly I have to root the stock one and install twrp, then back up the rom. If I get TWRP on the other device can I restore the stock rooted rom onto the F240? Has anyone done this?

yes. I'm pretty sure.
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:
