I need a little guidance here please. There seems to be several different ways to root the LG G3, but a lot of them are for the International or T-Mobile unlocked G3's.
So for the ATT G3, which method do we use to Root ? Stump ?
And to install TWRP Recovery ? I read about something named Bump'd ?
My main concern is, I won't get this phone if it's ike the nightmare of ROM'ing like the old ATT Galaxy S4 was, with bizarre things like Safestrap, and or the old ATT HTC One X with .boot img files you needed to installed in fastboot, etc...ugh I want nothing to do with that :silly:
My last few phones, OnePlus One, and ATT HTC One M8, were a breeze and easy to root, and custom Recovery installed normally, no tricks or weird Bump's or Safestraps.
You didn't look hard enough

OK but for TWRP Recovery and flashing ROM's. Can I only flash ROM's that say "BUMP'd" in the title ? Can the ATT G3 only use those type pf ROM's ?

Download goo manager and install twrp from there. Its easy and should take only a minute or two. If u are confused on how to do it, go to the TWRP thread in development.

Twrp hands down over cwm. Plus many of the hox custom ROMs require Twrp.
TWRP is the only officially supported recovery for the HOX right now. CWM is unofficial and contains some bugs last time I checked.

This sounds like a bricked phone just waiting to happen
Hello,
i just bought up this -
HTC One S this week.. its nice phone..
well, have some issues like: battery and admin access..
so can anyone first clear me if i root or change ROM of this phone will i be able to restore them all so i can avail its warranty in need ?
2nd) How to root this phone , perfectly without any issue.? what will be access + profit i will have if i root this device ?
3rd) How to increase its battery life ?
4) how are ROMs helpful to this phone ? and how to use custom ROM on this phone ???
Waiting for some help..
this is the guide i recommend for rooting your one s http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
a custom rom (i recommend either trickdroid or AOKP Jelly Bean) will increase your battery life (most of the time, depends on the rom and the ones i recommended will do just that) and give you more customization options and give you more control of your device.
and if a warranty use is required, you can always flash back to the stock rom and re lock your bootloader
it's as simple as that

hmmm thanks
i will go through it
also, can you just tell me what all other roms are for ? like the one you gave me is for battery life what else options are there ?
and how i can take backup of original rom and bootloader in case i face issue ?
well, i was installing SuperSU but it says-
"There is no SU binary installed, and superSU cannot install it. This is a problem !"
what next ? i am jammed at step 1.
which supersu file are you trying to install? cause you need to grab the proper one. and as for what each rom does. you'll just have to browse the development section of the forums and see what's out there. or you could just flash carelessly and see which one fits you best. that's kind of what i did

hey man !
u said that it can be fixed as original.. ?
but here on HTC page it says after unlocking bootlocker-
"
Step 14
To re-lock your bootloader, in the command prompt, type: fastboot oem lock.
Note: This will not restore the factory default lock, but will simply re-lock the bootloader so no further changes can be made. Furthermore, if you want to unlock your bootloader again, simply repeat step 12 with your original unlock key file to unlock your phone again.
"
That means it will not be available for warranty ???
as i broked its seal ? am i right ?
please explain.. that how i can make my phone back to available for warranty ?
help me please ! stucked at bad point !!!
i am stuck badly now !!!
i tried recovery of various roms available on all threads but nothing worked for me !!!
Then i tried to restore back to stock ROM so i don't see HTC warning while using recovery mode but no help ! no ROM is now fitting in it..
Please help me anyone !!
i am badly stuck !!!

*root phone using stump
*install superSU and clockwork
*install custom recovery using flashify
*flash twmp or whatever the recovery is
Now i have acess to flash roms but dont know if it is safe to do so because i never hooked up phone to computer to unlock the bootloader. The Rom i dkwnloaded was a (bump ) compatible Rom

When u installed twmp your phone was bumped which is sort of a boot loader unlock. Its more of a trick to make the phone think the bootloader is unlocked All the roms in this forum should be bumped so you will be ok. Just stick to xda LG g3 forum and you will be ok. I was also told that official cm 11 was bumped as well but I am not 100 percent sure cause it doesn't say it is. When you used flashify it took care of all the cpu work. Happy flashing ?

Try Xposed Framwork
Hi, to modify only icons you can install another launcher (nova, google launcher...).
If you want to modify also some parts of rom (icons, status bar, dialer, sms interface etc.) you have many possibility: costum rom (cyano or other), xposed framework, modifications via recovery etc. For all of them (except the first) you need root and a costum recovery.
I try to install twrp recovery and my phone always bricks and i end up spending a whole night rebooting flashing the stock usb drivers and **** cause the phone just doesnt even stay on a screen just goes black. Ive wanted the cynageon mod but i heard its not compatible with the D803(canada version) so it leaves me using like G2 exposed app which needs xposed framework but even then it doesnt wanna install the framework. Have you heard of this issue ?

Probably you bricked the device because the TWRP was not compatible with your model (i.e. it was for international version or other).
Recovery, kernel etc. are .img files that are specific for your phone model, if you overwrite one of them with a different/non correct version during flash you brick your phone. For LG, if you can enter in download mode, you can easily restore everything using LG Flash tool 2014 (you need also LG drivers for windows).
To obtain TWRP recovery you can see here (for 4.4.2):
droidviews.com/install-twrp-recovery-on-lg-g2-running-android-4-4-2-kitkat/
you have to download the correct version for your model...
Ive tried to install from the link but it honestly keeps saying "loki cant find something, cant let you flash" do you know how to resolve this issue? Any help would be helpful pls and thanks

Welcome to the Note 5 section.
The N920W is pretty much the same as the N920T. The GSM rocovery file should work the same for you as it does for us. In fact, when it comes to kernels, you'll flash the same ones as well.
