Hello everyone. I have been all over the web and especially in this forum reading up for weeks about rooting and TWRP Recovery for my brand new Sprint LS980 (Best Buy $150 plus tax!) that I updated to ZVE via OTA. I'm still a bit confused. Information is all over the place and varies. For rooting, there seems to be at least three ways from what I understand. The first is Stump Root, then there is LG One Click Root, and finally DP Tools. Which of these is best? I just want to keep the stock ZVE (Odexed) and be able to have TWRP for backup purposes. I may run the stock ZVG update in the future when it becomes available as a ROM to flash thru TWRP.
That leads me to more confusion. There seems to be two editions of TWRP available with various version updates for each. The original TWRP Recovery from Team Win and then Blastagator's modded TWRP Recovery with Thermal Control and F2FS. Which one of these two editions and WHICH VERSION UPDATE is best for my Sprint LS980 on ZVE? Do I need to worry about my phone heating up and melting from using it with the original TWRP? Please remember that I just want to keep it stock ZVE for now and maybe run the stock ZVG in the future. What is the best way to install the right TWRP for me after root?
I ask all of these questions because I read here and there about overheating issues and possible damaged screens from the original TWRP. I also read here and there about TWRP not working with ZVE unless downgrading the bootloader to ZV8 and/or the radio (modem) as well . I need Knock On/Off to work and there are many reporting it not working after rooting and TWRP. Can someone please clear this up for me? Thanks in advance.
If your on zve and want to stay on that. Then root with stump root. Then install autorec for kitkat. I suggest flashing dorimanx Kernal knock on n off works, and b there will be no wedgie line issues and no b overheating. Good luck

Thanks jcsheriff, but after some more research, I actually found the best way was to use Stump Root and then use Flashify to install blastagator's TWRP mod. This is what I did and it worked amazing and very easy (less than 10 minutes) on my Sprint G2 with no computer needed. All stock with no modifications and no issues at all!
The best way to root and install the latest TWRP for Sprint LS980 on ZVE (KitKat) with no issues is this. Easiest and fastest way and as simple as 1, 2, 3! So that all can understand this clearly if they need it, see below:
1. Root the stock Sprint LS980ZVE (KitKat) with Stump Root from here:
http://downloads.codefi.re/jcase/Stump-v1.2.0.apk
If you need instructions, read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
2. Use Flashify from Play Store to install blastagator's latest recovery.img from here:
http://blastagator.ddns.net/twrp.html (You have to unzip it first)
3. Smile and enjoy the happiness!

Thanks for your guide.
I did your way and it worked.
But I had to force root.
The easy way to install recovery is with autorec for KK.
Worked realy fast and easy. But do not try to install twrp with autorec on other version.
I had my phone bricked by autorec.
Good luck
anyone know if loki works on ZVE

Hi guys ☺,
I bought today G4 eu model,it came with Marshmallow 6.0 V20d version.
I want to root it because of Greenify and Xposed,to increase the battery time,maybe later to flash some rom but...
There is a lot of topics on this subject,I started to read but I'm lost right now...as far as I saw,I can't root Marshmallow without unlocking the bootloader,only Lollipop,right?
Is it a big trouble to go back from MM to LP?
I'm not new in this flashing and rooting stuff,I had (still have) a Motorola Razr XT910,I flashed it 100 times for sure for 3.5 years but I didn't had to unlock the bootloader (it's impossible anyway) and there's a custom recovery Safestrap,modified Twrp which allows to flash and use 6 different roms,from JB to MM,without changing the kernel...
I will be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction,to give me some useful links etc.
And is there some list which procesess are safe to freeze with TB and which ones I can greenify?
Oh,and the bloatware too...
Sorry if I'm demanding but I want to bring out the best from this phone
Thank you in advance

Hi,
root without unlocking bootloader works only on lollipop, right. Not sure if u can downgrade, but when, u will use "LGUP" tool with the "H81510D.kdz" file. Maybe there exists a pre-rooted kdz to flash.
If u want to root android 6, u need a unlocked bootloader. Rooted Android 5.1.1 or unlock bootloader with rooted android 6.x.x
Ok,I successfully unlocked the bootloader but now I'm stuck with rooting and installing Twrp...
I've downloaded BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247 and TWRP-3.0.0.0-H815+ but there's a lot of metods,which one should I use?
Flash SuperSu+Twrp with stock recovery?
Install Twrp with adb command and then flash SuperSu with Twrp?
Install both with adb command?
I also saw somewhere that I must flash some other kernel that is already rooted...
I just need root and the Xposed for now,help me guys!
Im also Confused..Where can i find rooted kernel?
I already did this Method u said...But I got Boot Loop
Then I revover my phone with Lg Bridge
We need to find this.....I also Had Android MM with V20d

In my case I wasn't able to flash recovery on the stock kernel, I had to flash boot.img unpacked from the custom kernel like SimpleGX and only then I was able to flash recovery and full kernel through it.

the method i followed was-
1. boot into twrp recovery with adb command(you need to have the twrp.img file in PC and also copy it in internal memory of your phone with SU)
2. flash systemless root with twrp
3. reboot
4. install flashify
5.flash twrp.img from your phone.
6. done
but there aren't as much benefits of rooting as any other phone. viper4android doesn't work. spirit fm doesn't work. xposed doesn't work properly.(these 3 were the main reasons for which i rooted)

I didn't know i could flash something other than .zip files with twrp.
As for viper4android i tried normal way, flashed it with twrp, flashed extreme music mod with v4a fix. None seem to work. The drivers never get installed.
Xposed i haven't tried. I was in process of getting more information about it by reading various threads. But all seem to point to problems like bootloop, fc and Bluetooth issues. Can you guide me towards the best version of xposed for v20d with way to avoid problems or with as less problems as possible?

Here is the official Xposed thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Download xposed-v80-sdk23-arm64.zip and flash it with Twrp.
Download XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk and install it.
And just in case if you have a bootloop,download xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64.zip.
I haven't had any problems
Oh,be careful which Xposed module you install.Here is the thread of working/not working modules

Flash Imperium Kernel or SimpleGX Kernel. I used their kernels and ROMS on my older phones, they are legend. I suggest you to flash Imperium Rom. It includes kernel and everything and it is updated regularly by its dev.
This is kernel thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/kernel-imperium-kernel-g4-v1-0-t3282915

As you have you bootloader unlocked, you can root your h815 M6 V20d with this method.
I was looking for days, and today i found this http://www.tuttoapp-android.com/root-lg-g4-h815-e-installazione-recovery-18188/

Good luck!

I think doesn't need to install recovery to root the phone.
Just this:
1) adb reboot bootloader
2) fastboot boot TWRP-2-8.7.0-h815.img
Wait a second and it will open, on the phone, the recovery.
Once open go to Advanced -> ADB sideload and take a swipe to start it where it says "Swipe to Start sideload".
Now on the PC write
3) adb sideload BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip
( If it says after the instalation to install supersu etc just abort it)
And then, when installation is complete, press "Reboot System"
I rooted it this way, without install TWRP Recovery

Yeah - but the question has to be asked - why unlock the bootloader and root and not install TWRP? If you've got as far as unlocking the bootloader you might as well make life easier for yourself and install TWRP - that way anything you want to flash in the future can be done without being tethered to the PC, and also allows you to take proper full system image backups etc.

Of course , i agree with you. By the way, we can't root g4 on m6 without unlocked bootloader.
And finally, i decided to pass twrp on my phone, for every file i want to install from twrp, and not every time to boot from pc
You're right
p.s. the first thing i did after twrp installed, was to install g5 live wallpapers
I have an unrooted gpad 8.3 how to get easiest to cm13 have searched the forum but i am unsure how and in wich order to do it.
I have the korean unrooted lollipop. A step by step that an non tech savvy person can follow would be great.
Follow these steps:
1. Root with oneclick root app Kingoroot
2.Install TWRP manager from Play store for download and install twrp
or
you can download it from here https://dl.twrp.me/v500/ and instal trough flashify app
3.then follow this to get TWRP working how to install KK bootloader + files
4. before booting to twrp, download ROM, Gapps whatever want or you would be forced to use adb/micro sdcard for installing it
When u installed TWRP + KK bootloader u wont be able to boot your V50030a ever again only if u do this : With same commands for installing KK bootloader u can install back the LP bootloader through TWRP terminal ..... to get stock rom working again
Thanks will try it during weekend
Took som time before i got time to try this but all went ok on cm13 now thanks for the help upu
I rooted my LG G Pad 8.3 (V500) and I installed the AOSP 6.0.1 (MOB30J). It works fine, but for some reasons (?), I lost the root. Does someone know how to re-root the G Pad 8.3, already on Marshmallow 6.0.1 ? The root guides for Android 4.4 do not work and I do not find a guide for the 6.0 version. Thanks for your help.
Hi, you flash SuperSU 2.52 in recovery to root your Device? If still not have SuperSu after boot, you install it from playstore. It's will OK.

Hi. Many thanks for your answer. I have SuperSu, but it tells me that:
1- I have no binary installed
2- if I made an update to Android 5.0 (in my case, it's 6.0), I have to re-root my device manually.
As @hptnhan says, if you flash the latest SuperSU.zip from custom recovery then you should be set.

Restore to a 100% stock unrooted ROM using a KDZ or TOT made for your variant (V500). Flashing a TOT or flashing a KDZ with the CSE option will wipe everything including internal storage. If you flash the same version of the stock ROM that you were previously successfully running, you could try flashing a KDZ with the Normal option which won't wipe Data. If the tablet won't finish booting after that, try wiping Cache or a Factory Reset which will be the same as flashing the KDZ with the CSE option.
Thanks for your help. I was able to flash the stock rom. I installed ASOP 6.01 again and i lost root again. How do I gain root again on ASOP 6.01? Flashing the supersu.zip doesnt work for me. Is there another way to regain root on ASOP 6.01? Thank you.
I will ask the same question: How do i root my LG G Pad 8.3, running Android 6.0.1?
I've tried SuperSU 2.52, but got stuck on the secure boot error.

AOSP or CM 13? I haven't fooled with CM for any device in over a year but last I checked it includes it's own SuperUser app that you could enable. It might've been in the Developer Options section of Settings. You could also optionally try flashing an old version of SuperSU that's not Marshmallow-aware such as v2.46 or 2.5x (I think 2.5x was still not Marshmallow aware). Don't blame me for bricks though.
When I had tried CM 12.1 (for a different device, I don't have what you have) you could opt for flashing SuperSU.zip instead of enabling the built-in SuperUser app. I don't know if that's still an option under CM 13.
Sounds like you fellas are running wrong base ^^ (original firmware that V500 came with?)
Could be wrong as I've been out of the game a while o_0
Try a new base and then root, recovery and custom ROM it.
Its been a while... How do I root these and get twrp on them so i can flash new roms on them? I Dont even remember how to root them... Help please....
There is guides on the general thread to assist you and your boggle or in the deadicated forum fir verzion devices
The best way:
*TOT or KDZ back to a KitKat version(10b or 12b): https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/guide-flash-to-stock-10b-kdz-method-t2928140
*Then root using Stumproot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
*Then install a twrp .img recovery for vs985 using the flashify or Rashr app or something comparable: https://twrp.me/devices/lgg3verizon.html
*Make a backup, wipe, and get flashing
The lazy way: search for the kingroot app and see if it works on your version of 6.0. Some early MM/6.0 versions worked and you could get temporary root that way(root with kingroot doesn't last through reboot). Once you have root, download a flashing app as mentioned above, install recovery, and do your thing.
