I've rooted the LG G3 (D855), now how do I install TWRP and flash an unbranded stock firmware?
For some reason PurpleDrake didn't install TWRP for me.
I also backed up the EFS partitions because it was said here on the forums to do it.
Thank you in advance.

do you have the d851 because that is the only one with unlocked bootloader
We do not yet have "full root". they are working on unlocking the boot loader, but it is being worked on and last I looked the devs fully believe they will be able to do it.
Take this time to read and learn as much as you can.
Have fun.
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.
Hello everyone,
I have a rooted LG G4 H818P v10k and wanted to install a recovery tool such as twrp but after digging around a little, I noticed that my bootloader is locked and LG supports unlocking the bootloader of the H815 variants only.
The part thrat confuses me is, does having a rooted device imply an unlocked bootloader and if not how can I unlock my bootloader.
How did you root it?
The lg h818p is impossible to root. You're a hero

your phone is locked for bootloader so no twrp yet.
for root you have use or someone a system.img already rooted. and replace it and phone is rooted as long as you in lollipop you can root.. so nope. you or someone just pushed the rooted . img into phone with commands. so no unlocked bootloader.

For LL you do not need an unlocked bootloader for rooting. For MM you need unlocking to root. The reason is that LL allows system modifications. MM not.

Sorry but that's wrong. There is TWRP available for his device. TWRP in FIsH.

Since you've alread rooted, did you try to install twrp from an android root app such as
Rom installer or flashify
This might work.

NO. this will NOT work. You can use TWRP in FIsH only for locked devices.

Tell me Sir,
What can you do with TWRP-in-FISH without Efidroid? It's like a car without an engine, right?
Correct me if I'm wrong.

you're just kicking in to every post you find just to either useless comment or asking questions which are already answered right?
TWRP-in-FIsH seems to be useful for many ppl out there which you may not understand because you have an unlocked device.
... if you ever would have read (and understood) the TWRP-in-FIsH thread you won't even ask those above questions.
Efidroid has nothing to to do with TWRP-in-FIsH.

Ok I will read TWRP-in-FISH thread... So why are you first making efidroid for unlocked devices, when it's the locked ones that need it ?

Check out: Root ANY LG G4 Variant 100% Success Directives | Root Injection | Less Bricks at https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
It's all there - all you need is to 1). ensure that your current stock rom does not have an anti-rollback provision that would prevent you from downgrading from Marshmallow to Lollipop (LP). Use LGUP-NEW for the downgrade - it will throw up an error if the anti-rollback provision is in effect and 2). obtain a stock LP version for your exact phone model (and a pre-rooted version, if one is available).
I checked before I started rooting, but the software version off the pre rooted version is 10D
Mine is, 20h but I'm not sure what will it be if I downgrade to LP

You are on Marshmallow with 20h. Your software version will be 10D (Lollipop) if you use that pre-rooted kdz. It will work if it's for your exact phone model ... However ...see if you can find a 10n or higher version. The 'h' LP version for some models do not have the latest stagefright vulnerability patch, 'n' versions and higher do. You can use the Stagefright Detector app (free on Play Store) to check if the kdz you choose has the latest patch
Will it effect if I get the same model but different software version?
I tested it and it said it's not vulnerable

Other than having the latest security patches and any added upgrades to the firmware, it shouldn't.
O.k. cool
But I had a problem finding a 10c kdz for my device
Do you know how to get one?
I need it cuz if I get a 10D or later, my phone won't accept to flash the root

Looking for the best available root for the lg g4 marshmallow international version, even a 1 click method
If you searched you'll realise there's no root for locked bootloader G4s on MM.

He said international dude... The H815 which has unlocked boot loader. Very useful reply. But I too need to know the best method.

What? H815SEA and H815EU are both international variants but only H815EU can be unlocked.
The best method is to flash boot.img unpacked from the custom kernel like SimpleGX via fastboot that will allow you to further flash TWRP in which you'll flash full kernel package to avoid software problems and lastly SuperSU
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)
Hello, has passed a lot of time since my last thread. This time, I'm requesting your help about something that every time I read a related thread turns more complicated.
I just want to know if I can flash CyanogenMod 13 or another custom ROM if I have an LG G4 with official Android Marshmallow V20c (not rooted and with locked bootloader, because I don't know if I can take the risk), because I learned how to root and unlock the bootloader, but for example, CM13 needs a V20a stock ROM and when I flashed that version with LGUP I didn't have signal and com.android.process wasn't working.
I hope you can give me a vision, very easy to understand, because the threads are not very explicit.
Thanks and regards!

As simple as possible: no!
With MM and locked BL you can't get root and you can't install any custom Rom.

You don't understand me. I know how to unlock my bootloader and after that root my phone, but I'm not taking the risk because I flashed the V20A stock ROM to install CM13, but I didn't have cellular signal and because that I didn't try to unlock and root my phone.
Maybe this question is more useful: Can I install CM13 when I have a V20C stock ROM and not the V20A one?
Thanks and regards.
You can flash any custom rom if you have unlocked bootloader and custom recovery e.g. TWRP. Without that things you can't flash anything, because custom roms needs unlocked bootloader.

OK, now I understand that I can flash CM13 over V20C and not necessarily over V20A.

You can flash CM13 on any V20... (V10 being LP, V20 MM) as long as you have a MM base you can flash. However, as said above, you MUST unlock bootloader to flash CM, don't try and flash custom ROM without unlocked bootloader. You can unlock bootloader on any version as long as yours is one of the models with the ability.
