Tried that, not working

There probably won't be one. Loki has been patched, and looks to be permanent. Even DrJbliss said he doesn't think its possible now with the way they patched.
Its pretty safe to say the only way to get a recovery again will be to roll back.

That is not 100% accurate. I have the sprint version and can confirm that it IS possible to have TWRP on this phone with the latest kitkat firmware (4.4.2), the only problem is it breaks download mode, but there is a way to get it back as well and the devs are working on getting them both working at the same time. Additionally, I realize that the OP does not have a Sprint model phone, but if it is possible on one carrier, I would not say it's impossible on another carrier so there is hope.

OMG Please be telling the truth. I have been waiting for a long while for this, I hate that the T-mobile variant always gets the left overs

I have no reason to lie, but you can check out this thread to see it for yourself. I have done this myself and can confirm that I had TWRP working with kitkat on my Sprint LG G2 variant phone. I have since went back to stock rooted because I did not like not having download mode, but as I said it has been done (for the Sprint variant atleast) so there is hope.
BTW. It should go without saying that you should NOT try this method unless you have the Sprint variant of the G2 as it will definitely not work with other carriers and will more than likely hard brick your device and even if you do have a Sprint variant make sure to read the instructions carefully and fully understand what you are doing before doing anything. You have been warned / advised.
Additionally, I am not a dev and I did not come up with or take any credit for this or any other guide. I am simply passing the information along.

I was under the impression that the OP wants to take the OTA, root and flash TWRP. That isn't possible. That part I'm 100% correct on. But the method you linked to for Sprint is available for all other variants I've seen so far, similar anyway. Including VZW. That's why I said roll back, you have to be on the Jelly Bean bootloader.

What's that mean? I cant get TWRP on my d802?
no more custom roms? Is that true or what guys, i mean I'm waiting for a loki to solve the problem and cant go back to stock any more i cant find my rom wich is d80220a, so what, no more hope?! please dont tell me that!!!

There is no trouble downgrading. I have windows 8 and I used Method 2. from this thread: THREAD. OP says that there are problems with win 8. Only thing I "shat brix" is because I didn't installed drivers provided there :crying: Still, I had 4.4.2. and now I have 4.2.2. Tonight, after Champions League, I will install custom recovery and other stuff :victory:

Thank you so much! at least this will take care of all the constant questioning. I hope there will be a way to get a custom recovery on it soon because I am starting to regret getting the LG G2 instead of the Nexus 5. Ugh

I was thinking that I was going to give TWRP for the international version a try until they make one specifically for the VZN variant. You can backup your rom and stuff but if you want to restore it you'll need to change the build.prop to reflect an international variant of the phone.
The code would be KLTE

It's updsted version of ez unlock that people used for s3. I tried TWRP 2.2.0 and rom manager clockworkmod 3+. Finally got su binaries updated.
regular ez unlock unlocked it as well.

Flashed the KLTE and it just made my phone go to download mode just to save you some trouble.

That thread title :silly:

just checking...

This thread title is confusing and the thread starter has poor writing skills.

More or less i was excited to have root back. I do and i thought I'd try somethings that worked for other samsung versions. The app said it was unlocked but I couldn't get a recovery to work so you would be right. There was a newer version 2.7.1 I didn't try to flash or Phils. I'd just ask for thread to be taken down.

Boot Loader Unlock

Seems to work for my G Flex. Maybe it can work for the G3? I think this works for the LG Volt too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-flex/general/bootloader-unlock-t3139086/post61441100#post61441100

I don't know if it can really be this easy... my F460K i showing as unlocked now though so here is hoping
-edit- Still results in a secure booting error when flashing a recovery. But now if we can replace the actual bootloader with say the 855 unlocked version... or maybe even the unlocked T-mo version. Hrmm...

Totally worked D855 LG G3
yep it worked without any loose of my data or bricked mu phone, LG G3 D855 on crDroid AOSP ROM Lolipop, maybe this is the best solution for the LG G4 juts saying

So whats the matter with this? A real bootloader unlock?

guys this was the first thing people here tried(including me),this does cause a false positive by saying unlocked but it doesn't acctually disable the signature check, nice try but no it won't work

I thought it seemed a little too simple to have not been thought of already. Flashfire still shows it as "secured" as well.

On the Flex it allows me to flash a twrp recovery. So I thought it would be worth a share

I am unable to boot into bootloader on ATT model :/

Lol as expected from Sprint and AT&T. Dont get me wrong, i wish they had bootloader unlocked because the more bootloaders unlocked for different carriers, the more chances to duplicate the amount of developments/roma/mosa/kernels etc.... Now, having only Tmobile as the only one with unlocked bootloader, well, devs who use carrier such as AT&T and Sprint might get further away from developments on LG V20. (I'm a LG V20 Tmobile variant owner)

im not to familiar with LG, but the correct way is to power off the device, hold volume down, insert USB cable?
one would think even if locked, it could still enter the bootloader. adb works, and when i reboot recovery, i get to recovery, but when selecting reboot bootloader, the device starts. interestingly enough, it will enter in adb sideload mode

With Google obviously not wanting unlocked handsets or rooted handsets to be common... This kind of thing is going to be the norm. Best to adapt, in the long term. The days of modding are being ended by Google

For the time being. As SafetyNet gets more common, Google will quit making them unlockable.
Granted i preordered my v20 expecting to run it unrooted stock.

Well, it's really only sprint, at&t, and more than likely Verizon. Fastboot mode doesn't even exist on the phone through the production software. T-Mobile is completely unlockable...

So this means no recovery for sprint variants, but is there still a possibility of systemless root using the LG up or bridge programs?

He said it was based on jcadduono's work and if jcadduono has a thread on here about getting root shell to push recovery on the TMobile variant after unlocking the bootloader.

time to return it!

Just a thought. A method over use getting around big red in the past . I purchased unlock able version of the the phone I wanted the note 5 . Umocked it rooted it . Then got my carriers Sim card and called to get it activated. It can be a pain but it can be done

Dont try to flash the kdz, you will brick your device.......................... I never said anything about flashing the kdz................
I learned a long time ago in my G3 days, Kernel deving which I still do for the HTC10 now, but the LG Korean Editions are the same hardware that the T-Mobile Editions use...........
Look on this thread for when I ported the Korean MM rom over before it was released for T-Mobile.......................
When you work with enough kernels like I do, and you should know the kernel is the main part for hardware controlling, you get to understand your device and any device that pertains to it,
The defconfig for the G3 f400 was a perfect match to the defconfig of the G3 D851 -T-Mobile, except F400 had one exra part that didnt make much of a dif........
Out of the 9 variants that LG Put out for the G3 only 1 device came close to the D851 T-Mobile, and that was the f400 Korean edition................
Now do you understand how I know this? Unless LG changed something to keep it from booting on anything other then the intended device, It should boot on our device with the proper extracting and fix
ups.............
Do not flash the KDZ, you will brick your device....................................................... Only 2 parts of that whole KDZ can be used.. and thats boot and system ................
and system has to have some modifications done to it, or playstore will keep crashing.............................
I went though all this on the MM port as well.......... took me 2 days to figure out what it was............................
When I ported the MM over to the T-Mobile Edition, I ran it for 4 days with a few testers, on the 4th day I released it to the public, 45 mins later t-mobile tweeted they are releasing MM that day............
So I know LG/T-Mobile troll this Forum.......... maybe not as much anymore since v20 is surpassed the v10 ..

thank you eliminator for the explanation. i was completely lost and almost bricked my phone.

Could you please mention clearly that flashing KDZ files on DIFFERENT VARIANTS will BRICK DEVICE
It is most important.
THANKS

wait so why was this posted if it cant be used on this specific device??? maybe so someone can make a working version for this device?

It is NOT to be used as a finished product.

This is not a rom lol.ive tried booting this using system and boot.of course it didnt work.probably need the 7.0 bootloader too.it doesnt get past lg splash screen.

My kids LG Stylo 2 Plus got Nougat before my V10. Shame

man..... I love the V10 so much I just don't think it got enough public attention to be in enough peoples hands like Devs who could get a bunch of working and stable ROMs. Kinda sad really when this phone is really underrated.

I was able to make a flash able zip from the f600k but it just loops at the bootloader so I'm gonna try the other two tomorrow

No one needs to hack on this. In a few months time the builds for our versions of the V10 will be released and then hopefully we can use dirty cow to root them the same as we did marshmallow.
