Install the latest version through ODIN or download the img file and manually choose the recovery image you want to install in TWRP manager.
Get your latest version from here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/
Click on "Get TWRP for your device", enter your device model and download the odin flashable tar or the recovery img for twrp manager.
I personally use and prefer flashing with Odin.
Cheers

Twrp 2.8.7.0 install instructions:UPDATED 7/13/15

i take no credit for this as i did not create this recovery. all credit goes to teamwin for their twrp recovery.
neither myself or teamwin are responsible for anything that may happen to your phone by flashing this recovery or what you do with it after it is installed.
I HAVE ONLY DONE THIS USING ANDROID 5.0 AND 5.1. I DO NOT KNOW OR PROMISE IT WILL WORK ON ANY OTHER VERSIONS OF ANDROID (4.4) FOR THE LG G3 D850. YOU ARE DOING THIS WITH KNOWING YOU MAY HARM YOUR DEVICE AND THE CHOICE IS 100% YOURS AND NO ONE CAN OR WILL BE BLAMED FOR KILLING YOUR PHONE BUT YOU.
****EDIT: THERE IS A FASTER WAY I HAVE TRIED AND POSTED BELOW****
****NEW WAY****
first, you must be rooted and have bumpd twrp already installed which should be twrp version 2.8.6.1 from the original android development section here in the at&t lg g3 forum. i say this because you definetly have to be rooted and i already had bumped twrp 2.8.6.1 installed.
1. USING FLASHIFY CHOOSE RECOVERY IMAGE....
2. CHOOSE DOWNLOAD TWRP AND SELECT THE NEWEST VERSION.....
(IT WILL DOWNLOAD THE TWRP RECOVERY FOR THE D850.)
3. AFTER IT DOWNLOADS IT WILL ASK YOU IF YOUR SURE YOU WANT TO FLASH IT AND WILL SHOW THE FILE NAME WHICH WILL HAVE D850 IN IT....
(twrp-2.8.7.0-d850.img)
4. CHOOSE YES AND REBOOT NOW WHEN IT COMPLETES....
(YOU WILL BOOT INTO TWRP AND WILL BE READY TO DO WHAT YOU WILL WITH IT.)
****AS OF NOW I ASSUME ALL NEW VERSIONS CAN BE FLASHED THIS WAY UNLESS NOTED THAT NEWER VERSIONS CAN NOT. I WILL TEST AND POST ALL NEW VERSIONS AND CHANGE THE DIRECTIONS IF I HAVE TO USE A DIFFERENT METHOD. WHEN AN ANDROID M ROM MAKES ITS WAY TO OUR D850 THEN THIS METHOD MAY NOT WORK AND YOU SHOULD NOT TRY IT UNTIL IT IS PROVEN TO WORK ON ANDROID M****
****THE METHOD BELOW IS LONGER BUT I WILL LEAVE IT UP FOR ANYONE THAT WANTS TO USE IT INSTEAD OF THE NEW WAY ABOVE****
first, you must be rooted and have bumpd twrp already installed which should be twrp version 2.8.6.1 from the original android development section here in the at&t lg g3 forum
download the 2.8.7.0 .img file from this link https://dl.twrp.me/d850/ this link is to the download section that is only for our d850 phones so you dont download the wrong image.you can also use the twrp manager app to download the .img file but do not use twrp manager to flash the file or you will get a boot secure error whenever you try booting into recovery. it will never boot into recovery and will just hang on a black screen with the notification light flashing red and blue. if you use the twrp manager app to download the recovery make sure your downloading the recovery image for the d850 only!!!!
after you have downloaded the .img file from either the link or with the twrp manager app, open flashify and select recovery image. then browse to the twrp 2.8.7.0 .img file you downloaded and select it. let flashify flash it and select the option to boot into recovery when it is done. you now have the newest twrp recovery on your lg g3 d850!!!!
i have tested the new recovery and everything works. i have done an advanced wipe of dalvik system data and cache. a regular factory data reset. i have created a backup, and have flashed roms a kernel and xposed all without issue.(depending on your rom xposed may or may not work and may cause bootloops with the xposed mods you enable after flashing. make sure your flashing things you know work. this is my set up on the rom im using. everyones phone is different even if its the same model. dont kill your phone and blame me. if you dont know, dont do it!!!!)
i hope this thread helps anyone that wants the new recovery on their d850 g3 and that the instuctions are as clear as possible to insure the fastest and safest way to install the recovery without hurting your phone or getting a secure boot error.
again i take no credit for this recovery and i am not a developer. this is mearly an instruction manual and to let everyone know that the new twrp can be used and works on our g3 variants.

Plain and clear...!! ?
Just a quick question- could the same steps be followed if you have a previous build in order to udate TWRP version?

if your talking about a previous version of twrp then yes it shouldn't be a problem as long as your downloading and flashing the correct recovery image. i was on the bumped 2.8.6.1 twrp before i flashed this one. i used twrp manager and got the secure boot error but was all good when i used flashify instead. so yes if your using a d850 and on an older version of twrp then it should be fine as your just upgrading the recovery and nothing else. which version are you using right now?

@rob219
Thank you for the explanation!
I've been afraid to update cause all is working great and don't want to deal with bootloops. I'm on 2.8.6.1

i dont see why you wouldnt be able too. have you tried updating to the bumped 2.8.6.1 yet? id do that first then update to this one, but i dont see why you wouldnt be able to from what your on now if you follow the directions right. it should be ok.

I have a rooted D850 running the 21l software version. I installed TWRP using AutoRec. It installed version 2.8.6.1. Ever since software version 21l installed, I have not been able to get Flashify to work properly. I download the 2.8.7.0 .img file and flashed it with Flashify. Sure enough, the phone gave me the boot secure error. I pulled the battery, rebooted to the ATT system, and reflashed TWRP using AutoRec. I vaguely remember seeing another post somewhere saying not to use Flashify with software version 21l. YMMV, but just be careful in case.

Worked like a charm. This is the first time Flashify actually worked on my D850. Thanks!

your welcome
and about the 21l software version i havent seen anything yet but if you tried it on that version and it didnt work then yes, probly best not to use flashify on that version. i was running a stock based 5.0 rom at the time of flashing it using flashify.

I used version Isai VL31 date configuration state version 855. I can use this thing is not ?.

yes you should be able to with flashify. make sure your model number is in the download before you flash it. also i have an at&t d850 and this post is made for and in the at&t lg g3 d850 forum not the d855 model so i take no responsibility if you try this and it kills your phone. i did not test or try this for any version of the lg g3 except the at&t lg g3 d850 version only.

will this work for find 7

I can't guarantee it will or it won't as I do not have that phone nor have I tried it on it. The safest way to find out would be to go to the the find 7 xda forum for your model and ask there. I don't want to say it will then have it mess your phone up. I have only tested and confirmed it working on the at&t g3. I no longer have this phone either as I have upgraded to a at&t g4 and s6 (both I think are no better than the g3 since development on both are slim and none)

I'm on rooted bump'd twrp 2.8.5.0, stock LP 5.0.1, 20f.
I should be able to simply download the 2.8.7.0 img from https://dl.twrp.me/d850/ and install it directly from my TWRP 2.8.5.0, no? No need for flashify or anything.. ?

you are correct. my instuctions are only for flashify but downloading the flashabke image and using twrp works fine too. i have updated this thread since i switched phones. no longer have my g3 and i wish i did because this at&t s6 really sucks.

Want to unlock my bootloader + installing TWRP

Hello all,
I am receiving tomorrow my new Samsung S6 and i want to know some things.
- Unlocking bootloader (how to and link?) - have searched a bit and you need ODIN. but what is the best version etc
- Installing TWRP3.0 (how-to) - where to find the latest TWRP for samsung s6
And than one of the most important question, is there a stock android that doesent have any buys and fc's????

Bootloader is not locked on S6 (except AT&T variant)
You can get latest ODIN from here;
http://dl.sammobile.com/Odin3_v3.10.7.zip
If you want to install TWRP on it;
1- Update it to Marsmallow if you haven't
2- Install this TWRP via ODIN;
http://arter97.com/browse/S6/kernel/13.1/g920fi/arter97-recovery-g920fi-13.1-twrp_3.0.2-0.tar.md5
3- Boot up to TWRP and flash this ZIP before do anything on TWRP;
https://download.chainfire.eu/932/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip

Wouldn't this order make more sense so he had a backup in case something goes wrong?
Also, here are the threads for TWRP and SuperSU for the S6 on XDA:

No, and there probably won't be any for a long time, but there are lots of TouchWiz-based custom ROMs.

so basicly i dont need any customezation? because you telling me there will not be released a custom stock rom? Even a CM13 rom
thats poor services!
Uhm

Correct. The only custom ROMs availability now and the foreseeable future are based on TouchWiz, not AOSP Android or CyanogenMod.

He need dm-verity disabled boot image for working TWRP backups. That's why I suggest him to install this ZIP.

While reading topics on the internet (google)
If you THE smartphone update to 6.0 you do not need to unlock the bootloader. is this correct?
For now i will not use TWRP because there isent a proper ROM for the S6. is this because the exynoss CPU? because QSD cpu's have always the better support for CM..

As I said before, there's no bootloader unlock because bootloader is factory-unlocked on Samsung devices.
If you want root, you should to use TWRP for install the latest SuperSU.
Yes, there's no CM ROM for Exynos 7420 right now. Maybe in future? Who knows...

is there a twrp that works because the original twrp that i download form twrp.me isent working getting a weird issue: recovery is not seandroid enforcing

i tried to install it, used the AP method in Odin.
But when i want to go in TWRP recovery i get the stock recovery! How to solve this issue

I'm having this issue as well on the T-Mobile variant. I have tried the unchecking auto reboot option in Odin and manually going to recovery. When I successfully flash according to Odin, I can't not get past the Recovery is not Seandroid enforcing boot.

I did figure this out, check this post for how I did it.

Twrp 3.0.2 keeps being rejected in download mode.

So most of the details of my problem is already here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66583532&postcount=2171
Extra info: I'm running on Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920W8 on 6.0.1 Marshmallow, with 0 knox trips. I've never rooted this phone before so there's that. I've tried installing all the twrp 3.0.2 versions from the teamwin site but to no avail.

Don't use official one from twrp. You have to use the one of arter97.
http://arter97.com/browse/exynos7420/kernel/13.1/g920fi/
Not sure if that works for the w8 variant.

Don't use that arter one because it's not specific to your variant of the S6 and could cause problems. I also have a G920W8 and I also could not get TWRP to work, if I remember correctly , I rooted it by flashing the correct CF root tar file, then installed flashify from the play store and installed TWRP from there, try that and tell me how it goes.
Since I'm a new user XDA wont let me post links yet but just navigate to the CFautoroot site and nagivate down until you see the download for G920W8

[SOLVED] 12.2 SM-P905 - How to update recovery to install 7.1.2 - you need 3.0.2.0!!

Hi,
I bought almost not used, 12.2 for 200$, LTE, 32GB.
It's on 5.0.2
I have experience with many Samsung phones, but this gives me a headache.
I was able to root with chainfire, I have SuperSU installed and working.
I was able to flash old TWRP, number 2.8.0.0
_____________________________________________________________
I can't flash anything newer than 2.8.0.0 as it enters "entering recovery" bootloop.
I can't flash update to 3.0.0.0 as it doesn't come with *.zip file so I could do it in recovery.
I can't flash 2.8.7.0 zip from recovery, as I get "Failed"
Do I have to update bootloader for newer TWRP to work with?
How can I install Lineage, as flashing it fails also from 2.8.0.0 (I belive this twrp is too old, partition details are wrong or some permissions)
I now own S7Edge, I was using Galaxy: S, S2, S3, Note, Note 3, Note 4, S6Edge+... Never had such issues. Maybe it's that P905 is a device from Note 3 era, and my current knowledge is on pair with S7? Maybe back then we were doing things diffrently and I forgot? Please be so kind to help me out here.
Best regards!
____________
edit:
So I thought to myself, why not to try and flash via odin, some newer versions of TWRP.
I was able to flash 2.8.4 and than 2.8.5.
I was still able to boot into recovery, so I went out and flashed 3.1.1, but last one is no go.
I than reflashed 2.8.7.
So this one is my current, and top one I can boot into. What is diffrent with 3.0? Im not sure, but assistance is needed !

SOLVED - use 3.0.2.0 - flash with ODIN or TWRP, doesn't matter.

Closed per OP request - solution found
