First of all, I am new to rooting. I just want to get that out of the way -- I am still learning the ropes.
Anyway, I have VS985 (Verizon) LG G3 and it is running Stock Lollipop 5.0.1. I recently rooted the device.
I am interested in installing TWRP, because I would like to try some custom ROMs (CyanogenMod in particular). However, I have not been able to install TWRP on my device. Also, I have not been able to find a working tutorial for my particular LG G3.
A short tutorial that will help me install TWRP / CyanogenMod on my G3 would be much appreciated.

Hey guys at xda-developers!
So before christmas I recieved an update for my G3 to upgrade to Android L from a rooted KitKat and I want to become rooted again. So can anylne advise me on what to do.
If there is any simple rooting method for LG Android L update.
I want to keep all my data btw.
Thanks. Ask any questions
Im new to the android world and xda so i dont know too much about ANDROID but i know a good amount
Thanks!
You can't root on lollipop, no root available as of yet. If you want root you have to downgrade to kitkat with the flashtool.
Use the LG Flash Tool to downgrade to kitkat (with a 10r build). There are a plethora of guides on how to do this.
Then you root, and install a custom ROM to get back to Lollipop. Cyanogenmod 12 works amazingly well on my D851. It's smoother than the stock ROM. However, you might be able to do the CloudyG3 ROM, which is essentially just what you have now with added features. Assuming that you got the Lollipop update a little while back, your phone sounds compatible. However, if you don't use the QuickCircle Case, I would highly suggest Cyanogenmod 12. I used the case, but made that small sacrifice for this amazing ROM.
Hope I helped!

Man there are so many variants of G4! I did read guides but most of them just cover international models.. Its more confusing. I wont wanna brick my phone.
You cannot root F500K MM. The only way to get root is by flashing 5.1.1 LP.
Hi, I am new to xda-forums so please pardon my lack of knowledge on using it.
I am using LG G3 F400 S and it is running stock android 6.0. I want to install (any) custom rom in it. Earlier, I tried to Root it using kingroot, and install TWRP using autorec, but ended up bricking my phone (probably because of using wrong version of autorec). I managed to unbrick it using a tutorial on the xda-forums.
I am trying to search for a tutorial for installing custom rom on F400S (running MarshMallow) but can not find any. Would someone please point me to the right direction here?
Thanks and best regards.

There is no twrp officialy for any model. H815 and one more. Not sure exact number. Also mm is unrootable. And most devices cannot downgrade from mm to ll without suffering bricks due to qfuse versions u may be outa luck

Please open only one topic of the same content really it doesn't help if you open separate threads with the same question
Your device cannot be unlocked officially so you will have no option at the moment to install a custom ROM on it but you can install TWRP for your device just search for TWRP in FIsH

[Canadian Guide] - Complete Source for the LG G4 H812. Linux VM/Root/Tools&Files:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/canadian-guide-complete-source-lg-g4-t3212449
Read the instructions and ALL the posts there to get a good feel for the how-to. You will be able to successfully root, install Xposed modules, Titanium Backup and as steadfasterX pointed out above, install a TWRP custom recovery version with TWRP-in-FisH (Version3 Beta 4 and 5 seem very stable - the links are in a couple of the later posts):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/locked-twrpinfish-locked-g4-devices-t3573048
Read everything thoroughly and if you run into problems, post questions to those sites.
You will not be able to root with any of the root apps in my experience.
Good Luck,
S.
