Hello!
I have a rooted AS985 currently running stock kitkat. Like many other phones that are available from my rural carrier, they are basically just Verizon variants that need Verizon variant ROMs, kernels, etc.. So, after viewing the LG G3 compatibility sheet I rooted successfully with Stump and then tried to flash a bump'd VS985 TWRP image. I've tried doing so with Flashify and the ADB method, but each time I boot into the recovery I get a black screen saying "[750] fastboot mode started". I've tried multiple versions of the VS985 TWRP to no avail.
If anyone could help I'd appreciate it!

It appears to flash successfully, but when I enter recovery I see the same "fastboot mode started" screen.
Bump.
Anyone have any ideas of what to do here? Having (almost) vanilla Android on my phone would be amazing.
Have you looked here?
Works flawlessly

I'm only able to select my tablet but not my phone for the download. Phone is still on KitKat, unfortunately.
Thanks.
If you find anything let me know. I tried to flash twrp with flashify but it is failing and I can't find anything to help me.
@BaconBaconBacon - I am facing the same issues with my AS985. When I bought it from eBay, it was already on Lollipop 5.0.1. Build Number is LRX21Y and Firmware is 21A. I was just not able to root it using traditional one-click root methods. Only thing that worked for me was Kingroot.
However, after getting Root access, I tried to flash various Recoveries, including the Bump'd recovery for VS985. I get the same error - "Fastboot mode started".
I thought that this was due to my current firmware (21A), and I was thinking of downgrading to VS985 10B.
I am just concerned about whether or not this will brick my phone. I understand that VS985 and AS985 are essentially the same devices, but just in case.
Have you tried this method of downgrading to 10B and then flashing the custom recovery?
did you guys ever figure out how to put twrp recovery on the as985 i have my lg g3 rooted with kingroot i couldnt get it to root with the other methods so if you have it figured mind helping a fellow partner.

Yes, I was facing the same issue with Firmware 21A on my AS985. I figured that VS985 (Verizon) firmware is compatible with AS985.
I downgraded my firmware from 21A to 10B(for Verizon) Using a .TOT, .DLL and LG Flash Tool.
Instructions on androidexplained-dotcom-downgrade-lg-g3 (sorry, unable to post a link, might find something equivalent on XDA as well)
Later, I rooted the VS985-10B firmware using One Click Root scripts. Post that, I flashed TWRP (Bump'd) recovery, followed by VS985-35B firmware, CM13 (Marshmallow) and GApps.
Took me a long time to figure this out, but all works now.

how did you get it too pass for me it says fail check phone or dll since im on as985a21a it looks up my model and it wont let it go back
here is what i get
I think I had changed the build.prop file. Replaced all occurrences of AS985 by VS985. I had done this unknowingly to make AutoRec work.
I am guessing that FlashTool also worked because of that.

where might i be able to change that
okay i found out how but all i see with the as985 is one thing which i changed to vs985 anything else maybe a screenshot of what you changed may help thanks again!
okay im on vs98510b now question do i lose my root when i flash the new firmware vs985-35B firmware or is the vs985 just the upgrde to lollipop ?
You won't lose access to root.
However, I would suggest that you go in this order.
1. Root Vs985 10b firmware and install TWRP. You need to install a bumped recovery.
2. VERIFY if you can boot into recovery.
3. Place 35b bootstack, cm13 and gapps on your SD card.
4. Go into Recovery, and wipe system, data, cache etc. DONT wipe your internal SD card.
5. Flash the above 3 zip files one by one in a single session. Don't reboot before you have flashed all 3 zip files.
6. You should be able to boot into CM13.
Basic Info: LG G3
T-Mobile Variant D851
Android Lollipop 5.0.1
Kernel Version: 3.4..0
Build Number: LRX21Y
Software Version: D85120e
Security Software: MDF v1.1 Release 2
I used to have my G3 rooted I was running the liquidsmooth rom on it. Then a few days ago I somehow managed to boot into fastboot mode and didn't know how to get out. I was able to get into twrp recovery but the phone would only boot into fastboot mode. Of course, I just decided to try something and cleared all the data from my phone and re flash liquidsmooth. It took me out of fastboot mode and put me into a bootloop.
I then used the LG Flash Tool to restore my phone to stock and it Worked! It sent my phone back to kitkat though so i updated my phone to Android Lollipop and tried to run avicohh's one-click root script again but it didn't work!
I then re-restored my phone to kitkat and tried again and it rooted just fine. :good: Then I updated my phone to Android L and of course, my root disappered. I tried to root again on 5.0.1 and the same thing happens.
( I attached an image of the command prompt). It says "Done" but I know it isn't. The prompt should be waaaay longer than that. When it worked on kitkat, there was more text there.
Tlr
My phone will not root on 5.0.1... Any ideas? I tried purpledrake and got the same issue.
I will provide more information if prompted to.
Thank You for any help you can provide.

How to root LG G3 D851 with MM 6.0
Why can't work on mine
How to root LG G3 D851 with MM 6.0 or install TWRP or Install Custom Rom like MIUI 8
hi,
you can downgrade your phone to D85130d by flashing a KDZ file
you can use the one from this topic :http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...ck-d851-30d-kdz-flashable-zips-imgs-t3367371;
then you can temporary-root it using Kingoroot , while on temp-root, flash TWRP using Flashify (available on Play store)
then flash SuperSu using TWRP and you're on full root.
this way worked for me.
I am a little confused on how to install TWRP for my LG G3. It seems to me that the easiest way is to use the TWRP manager app and install TWRP directly from there. Is there another method someone would like to recommend? My G3 is the T-mobile d851 rooted with lollipop (stock). Most tutorials show how to install TWRP for kit kat and I have also read that the d851 has unlocked bootloader (not sure what this means, still learning).

TWRP Manager is fine. Easy as 1-2-3. Locked bootloader (every other version G3) needs to be "bumped" (unlocked) before any modding can be done.
Happy flashing!

Yes it worked! The only thing that confused me was before installing twrp it said something about making sure this is the correct recovery partition and I just clicked yes. Thanks for the help.
So I was able to successfully root Lollipop using the one click tool. Now I am confused how to get TWRP in Lollipop. The autorec tool is dead and doesn't work anymore even with APKs found online. How do I flash TWRP? I tried using Flashify and the latest D852 3.0.2 TWRP image and it ended up bricking my recovery and forcing me to go back to KitKat firmware to fix it. What should I do? I want to install Fulmics MM ROM but I need TWRP on Lollipop firmware first.
Please help.
install via adb

You must be on lollipop. You have to be on the kitkat bootloader to run custom recovery/roms.
Do not try to replace kingroot with supersu. That has been reported to brick this tablet.
Since you seem to be on rooted lollipop, the only guy left who seems to be interested in maintaining LOS for the V400/410 has said he'd like to get the LP blobs. A system dump would be helpful, if you'd be willing to pull it and share it. This should pull it:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system of=/sdcard/system.img
People have successfully downgraded the V410 from lollipop to kitkat using the kdz for the V411. There is a test kdz for the V410 too, but it makes a mess of the internal storage and has some other issues. I wouldn't recommend the V410 kdz since we have a better alternative.
Once you're on stock kitkat, you can root it with purpledrake. Then use flashify to flash TWRP and flash away.
