[REQ] LG G3 D855 Twrp Recovery.

Hey, need the twrp for d855 lg g3, 32gb version.
*need a file that i will be able to flash via Rashr.
(Rashr - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools)
Thanks.

Dude, this has been the biggest news regarding the G3 for the last few days..... How can you miss it? It's the file that matters (the bumped TWRP version), the method if installing it doesn't.

This IS the one and only way and to install a "simple" recovery on G3 as of now since the bootloader is not unlocked on D855.
Do not attempt to flash anything else and risk bricking your device.
Friendly advice: Spend some more time on this forum reading the various threads and you'll realise what Bump! is and why we don't go for a "simple" recovery.

haha, what do you expect? It can't be any simpler? Bump is the only way you can flash a recovery image on the G3.
All bump is doing is replacing stock recovery with a special version of TWRP that can bypass the bootloader, which is pretty much exactly what any normal flash of TWRP on a device other than a nexus is like (except the modifications to TWRP will be different or unnecessary depending on how the bootloader of the particular device is locked).
judging from your reaction it seems to me that all you know is nexus devices? You need to fast learn about how real devices work where things are a little more hacky to bypass securities that OEM's put in place.

TWRP with the bump modification IS a simple recovery with a boot.img tweak that allows the file to pass the signature requirement for the encrypted bootloader of the G3, thereby allowing the phone to flash the file.
But you are more than welcome to come up with your own solution. I wish you the best in your endeavours!

To put it simply
You cant. If you want TWRP and custom rom you have to downgrade to Kitkat to install it

Hi, first I own LG G3 D855 32gb with previously installed stock LL ANHD 8.3 rom with downgrading to KK rooting method. Today I decided to try fully root following guide from this threat given by @topet2k12001 and after clean installing LL 20H KDZ file I root it with no problem and then I decided to follow guide for installing bump¨d TWRP and aboot.img from KK witch I extracted from latest 10N KK version, only thing I did deferent is that for flashing TWRP and boot.img I used Flashify from playstore and for aboot.img I used Android terminal with commands in guide from this threat. After flashing all and turning off phone then turning it on to enter TWRP it work so I can state that TWRP is working fine, no more error, even I restore my backup (system and data) of rom ANHD 8.3 (LL) I used before this and all is working flawlessly with almost full lollipop rom except aboot.img (KK).
If you do bother to read clearly it requires you to flash the android bootloader which is a risky process since download mode function, bootloader and recovery all depend on it
If not done properly you will brick your phone. So please do not risk it and just downgrade it properly with LG Flash Tool, it will save you so much time.

Hi @itsbighead,
The "aboot.img" is the Bootloader (Android Bootloader).
The "sbl1.img" is the Secure Bootloader.
The "laf.img" is the Download Mode.
There are three (3) methods available in my thread:
1. "Kitkat Downgrade" method: this is the first method discovered/known to have custom recovery (TWRP) + root on LG G3 Android Lollipop
2. "No Downgrade" method: the reverse approach of the "Kitkat Downgrade" method
3. "Imageprep" method: it's nothing more than an automated script that combines the commands from the "No Downgrade" method. This is created to reduce the risk due to human error (typos, etc. when using the Terminal/Command Line)
The principle in the Kitkat Downgrade Method:
1. From a fully fresh/stock Kitkat, root the device
2. Install a "bump'd" (patched) custom recovery (TWRP)
3. Get a Lollipop Firmware and extract the following image files: system.img, modem.img, and boot.img
4. "Bump" (patch) the boot.img
5. Done
The principle in the No Downgrade Method:
1. From a fully fresh/stock Lollipop...
2. Get a Kitkat Firmware and extract the following image files: aboot.img, laf.img (some users nee to also download other image files like sbl1.img, rpm.img, tz.img, dbi.img, and persist.img)
3. Install a "bump'd" (patched) custom recovery (TWRP)
4. Get a Lollipop boot.img and "bump" (patch) it
5. Flash the "bump'd" boot.img, aboot.img, and laf.img
6. Done
The principle in the Imageprep Method:
1. Basically all the commands that need to be entered are automated in a script
2. Put the corresponding image files mentioned in the No Downgrade Method in the appropriate folders as per the instructions in Imageprep
3. Run the script
4. Done
So as you can see...either way, Kitkat Downgrade and No Downgrade have the same risks. The only difference is "which image files to flash", but essentially you are still flashing image files which, if done improperly, will definitely cause a "soft-brick". In any case, the problems are already anticipated and solutions already documented in the "Troubleshooting and Q&A" section of my thread.
EXTRA: as a matter of fact, it was one of your old posts that led me to understand all of these and therefore, led me to create a script. You are actually listed in the "Credits" section of my thread.

New Guide root+twrp for 5.0 by auto -scrpit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/d855-one-click-root-twrp-recovery-t3072767

Hi I was wondering if it would be possible to unlock my bootloader and install twrp because my sprint lg g3 is already rooted successfully. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a method aside from downgrading and I would like to feel safe in knowing that I have a backup. Installing a custom rom is in consideration also so you if you have any recommendations it'd be appreciated.
Thanks, Josh

Sorry to revive this thread. I was wondering that since I currently don't have the capability to unlock my bootloader, what steps would I need to take on my rooted ls990 to replace my stock messaging app with cm12's messaging app. Will it be compatible as I am running lollipop, and if there is a different build of the apk that doesn't need to be ran from the system and can be set as my default messing app please inform me.
Thanks in advance

I'm not completely positive but I've been told by some developers that I should wait it out until a method comes that is specifically known to work on ls990. I appreciate the feedback though.

[Q] Clarification of TWRP Install

Sorry for the nooby question. I am a little familiar with rooting and such but have been in Samsung world with TMo for 3 years. I just got an LG G3 (still TMo, D851) that has already been updated to Lollipop v 5.0.1 (v20b). I have found the one-click root by avicohh, so I am comfortable with that. I have read everything I can find and just want to make certain of one thing. Is it correct that we CANNOT flash TWRP while staying on Lollipop? Do I really have to downgrade the software, then root, flash TWRP, and then upgrade back to Lollipop? Thats what I've read but I am hoping someone can tell me that is not true. I need some good news!
Thanks to everyone for the help and support.

No because the 851 variant is the only variant with an unlocked bootloader. You don't have to do anything except get the 851 twrp recovery img and flash it..

Thank you very much for the response. So can I just use Flashify to get current TWRP? (the phone is rooted!)? So the T-Mo bootloader is different than other variants? My confusion comes comes from this quote below...
"I saw a lot of questions of G3 users about how to install Twrp after the root, so I will explain briefly:
For now, if you are on stock lollipop you can't just flash Twrp via flashify etc like the old days in KitKat, but you can follow this guide over here."
that is a direct quote from this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951. It is true that that statement came from the General LG G3 forum, not the T-Mo forum. If I can just do Flashify or TWRP Manager and keep on going, that would be great. I guess I don't know exactly how I would flash it? Thanks again. I just need a little more clarification. After a couple years I just figured out Samsung procedures! Now starting over with LG procedures. THANK YOU FOR THE HELP.

Flashify still works in lollipop, I know cause thats how I got TWRP on my device and I have done it more than I can count. But I suggest you go to TWRP's official site and download their latest .img for the D851. Put that on your phone external SD then use Flashify to flash that img. Sometimes flashify does not have the most current TWRP img for the device when you download it through their collection.

Yes sir! Flashify worked great on the D851 with Lollipop installed. Thank you so much. I wish the info out here about the need to downgrade back to KK were a lot clearer. Evidently, T-Mo G3 (D851) users have it best. That info can be tough to find. Thank you for your support. I am good to go now!

[BOOTLOADER UNLOCK] For All LG SPIRIT Phones

Guys!
We already patched aboot for two of your models.
If you want to get aboot patched for other models of LG Spirit send me the original aboot with the phone information.
I saw @walterfuster and @jorlando using unsafe methods to patch aboot. Please don't do that or flash those!
Models until now we patched:
(1) H440N
(2) H440AR

Hello @pvineeth97 ! It's been a while since last time I checked android development for this device. It is really nice know that the bootloader was finally unlocked!
I followed all links/threads/tips by @walterfuster, @Korelev and yours as well and managed to have working 4G in my model, H442F Dual Sim ("LG Volt 4G" here in Brazil) using H440AR aboot.
I was even writing a tutorial for Brazilian users, as there are almost no material explaining the steps in portuguese for "novice users", however, looking in this thread, I wonder if isn't better to talk to you before releasing this material. My Droid info report for this variant can be found in this post. If you believe it is necessary, I can provide my aboot backup.
Thanks!

Hi
I'm looking to root this device for my daughter to use with custom ROMs. There are conflicting methods and I cannot figure which would be the best.
AFIK, there are a few methods:
1 - Kingroot
2 - Aboot
3 - Unlocking bootloader before rooting - some say need to, others don't mention it at all
I need to make sure that I'm doing the safest method possible - I want to initially start with a simple root - no data loss, so that I can safely extract a few things from the phone and then look to ROM flashing
I'm not new to custom ROMs, but new to this device so any help/guides would be greatly appreciated

You can check the guides here on XDA. They are very clear. There are no conflicting methods. "Kingroot" is used for rooting the device. "aboot" is used for unlocking the bootloader. You need to root before unlocking the bootloader.

Thanks for replying. So, rooting first using Kingroot - I would be able to grab what I needed.
Does Kingroot need to remain on the device as a 3rd party app?
Then unlocking bootloader would result in data loss?
Some guides simply were not clear as to what order these things were.

are you on Lollipop?
If yes, you are ok. Just download Kingroot and voila.
If not, you'll have to downgrade first, by flashing a Lollipop kdz. How? By using LG Flash Tool 2014. Say bye bye to user data.
Ok, now you are rooted.
Let's go to unlock the bootloader:
Download aboot_v10f.bin from here:
https://yadi.sk/d/1Dw4_bod3EgUMU
and put it into root directory of internal memory, which should be /sdcard.
Download Terminal Emulator app from Playstore. Open it and type this:
su (for acquire su permissions)
and this:
dd if=/sdcard/aboot_v10f.bin of=dev/block/mmcblk05
Oh. you've unlocked your bootloader! Congratulations!
note1: unlocking your bootloader (last step) does nothing with data user. you won't lose anything.
note2: If your plan is stay on Lollipop, I highly recommend you follow this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-spirit/how-to/setcpu-tweaks-performance-battery-saving-t3217133
note3: If you don't like f*** Kinguser, you can replace it with SuperSU. Not any other way. Just follow this:

Ok, now you are rooted.
Let's go to unlock the bootloader:
Download aboot_v10f.bin from here:
https://yadi.sk/d/1Dw4_bod3EgUMU
and put it into root directory of internal memory, which should be /sdcard.
Download Terminal Emulator app from Playstore. Open it and type this:
su (for acquire su permissions)
and this:
dd if=/sdcard/aboot_v10f.bin of=dev/block/mmcblk05
Oh. you've unlocked your bootloader! Congratulations!
note1: unlocking your bootloader (last step) does nothing with data user. you won't lose anything.
note2: If your plan is stay on Lollipop, I highly recommend you follow this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-spirit/how-to/setcpu-tweaks-performance-battery-saving-t3217133
note3: If you don't like f*** Kinguser, you can replace it with SuperSU. Not any other way. Just follow this:

No way to root if you aren't on Lollipop first. So, you'll have to "downgrade".
How?
Flashing a Lollipop kdz by using LG Flash Tool 2014.
Yo can use what is contained in this post for that:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...t-h440ar-to-h440n-maybe-t3387044/post67044372
Pay attention in the 'software necessary' an the 'procedure' parts.
kdz link is dead?
I'll provide you an unbranded POL one by PM.
EDIT: Provided. check your PM account.

Thanks for the kdz and the help.
I'm in the middle of porting to a new service provider and getting phone network unlocked, I will try your guide when all the above has completed.

Can you teach me how to patch aboot?

None of the rooting guides work?

Can anyone write an up-to-date guide on precisely what I need to do to install TWRP on a global-edition, fully updated (MIUI 12) Note 8 Pro today?...
There are three different guides and none of them work. I'm not interested in custom firmwares or anything else besides TWRP. I just want to install TWRP and magisk.

We are in the same boat...

Edit: N/A

Are you able to unlock your bootloader?

Also, pay really close attention to the warning at the top of the TWRP downloads page for your device.
WARNING: This device hard bricks really easily for unknown reasons. Restoring device without spending real money is impossible as of now. Don't flash TWRP unless you are an advanced user who knows what he is doing.

Additionally, there are a lot of weird quirks all over the place, which makes your device... non-optimal for modding.
Let me know if you really want help with this.

I really just wanted root and didn't realize you aren't supposed to use TWRP for it on new phones (especially this one.)

It's not that you're not supposed to use TWRP. It's that you need to know what you're doing.
That device you have is very easy to brick. I'm just making sure.
If you do only want root, that is very easy. First: do you have an unlocked bootloader? Second: exactly what software version do you have?

I would recommend installing Magisk first since then you can use the TWRP installer.

Installing Magisk from recovery is a legacy option and no longer recommended. The recommended method of installing Magisk consists of patching the boot image using the Magisk Manager app and then using fastboot to flash the patched boot image to the phone.
Installing TWRP is then as easy as using Magisk Manager to flash the TWRP installer zip, then reinstalling Magisk using direct install.
In order to retrieve a boot image to patch, you need to download the update you are using to a computer, then use a tool like Payload Dumper to extract the boot.img.
Kind of complex but it's the only option if installing TWRP without it bootloops you.

I don't own this device so I don't know any guides. The process is the same for most devices and the scripts will automate it for you.
Like I said, find a software update for your phone (search "miui 12.4.847.37586 OTA update zip" or similar), use Payload Dumper to extract a boot.img, transfer it to your device, install Magisk Manager and use that to patch the image, download the patched image to your computer, boot the phone into fastboot and flash the new boot image, and you'll have Magisk.
From there, go to the official TWRP website and download the "twrp-installer" for your device. Use Magisk Manager to install it. Then direct install Magisk to keep root.

Hey!! Fun fact, you don't need to use payload dumper for that! Download the "Full ROM" with "Type: Recovery", and unzip it. Inside there will be a "boot.img". That's what you patch using Magisk Manager.
