Just waiting on a custom kernel now that we have trwp and my phone is complete hoping dr87 will make a version of simple kernel for the g3
I believe this is just a work around so boot loader is still locked but you can flash roms

1. Yes, this is a true unlock. There is no other unlock mechanism on these phones. This is not a work-around, and calling it as such implies that there is any alternate method to use.
2. As for bricking, unfortunately we can't be held responsible for people that haven't done the legwork to verify that what they're doing is safe. We (Team Codefire) never released any mods for the G3 variants that were not unlocked in an effort to do our side of the responsibility to not make it easy for people to accidentally brick their phones. Now that recovery is released, if the end user does not ensure that TWRP functions on their device and ends up getting it in a state where the stock rom does not boot - this is 100% their problem as we were careful to ensure that all the information an informed user needs to make this work on their phones is out there.
2a. Regarding CrossDL, we actually will have a workaround for that here soon. As long as people don't touch their LAF or Factory partitions we can unbrick them from almost anything short of them editing sbl/rpm/tz partitions (which nobody should ever be doing!)
So are you implying boot loader is unlocked? Because this is similar to Loki like on the g2

This is from the Bumped thread
Is this similar to Loki?
No, you will not need to ensure your firmware version matches exactly with the ROM you have. You will only need to make sure that the ROM you downloaded is compatible with your carrier.

It's already been started by the devs that roms AND kernels will be able to be flashed as long as they are bump compatible. So yes there will be custom kernels.
As already stated here, and in other threads as well as the official Bump thread by the developers themselves, this has unlocked our bootloader. We are essentially free to flash ROMs, kernels, and other mods (provided they've been Bumped) as if this were a Nexus device. The past couple days have been a fantastic turn of events for our lovely device.
Now, am I the only one constantly checking the development threads hoping for one that has [ROM] in its title? I know we're probably weeks away, but I can't contain myself. I'll gladly donate $50 to the first developer who brings us a fully functional AOSP ROM.

Some devs were given the bump api early so they could get to working on ROM's.
There is a working CM with bugs in the works and should be released probably around the same time the bump api is released.
People are talking something as long as the developer "bumped, bumps" roms and kernels, what does that exactly means?

Roms don't have to be modified the boot.IMG has to be bumped so we can flash,cubed has said very simple and will share soon with the Dev so the end user has no worries.
so does anyone have anything to test yet. I am itching. I preordered a note 4 the other day now I am thinking I will be cancelling that

True unlock last time I checked the arthor of that did not have anything to do with it. Idk what makes them think its a workaround.
That's like LG saying thats an LG G3 & and your telling them no it's a fake (clone)
Who are you going to believe
Anyways it don't matter it's unlocked why are you stressing it so much? Lol
Its time for an upgrade and I am eyeing the G3. Its currently $.99 on upgrade, and the price is playing a big part in my decision as money is tight right now and my older S3 is falling apart.
The thing that draws me to this phone is its unlocked bootloader. I have tried to research on my own, and what I have found is that you can get a custom recovery and ROM on a G3 from most stock OOB configs.
However, I cant find any super recent talk of it. That doesnt mean there isnt, it just means I havent found it on this forum or elsewhere and my Search-Fu is probably weak.. I believe I read that the G3 was recently updated OTA to lolipop, and my question is does the CURRENT, brand new G3 from verizon still have the capability to install custom roms? I am no smartphone expert, ive rooted and custom rom'd an old tablet and I am confident in my technical skills, and I just want to make sure that the phone (which i probably will go pick up from the VZW store tomorrow) is still viable because if its not, ill probably get a different phone. I will go deeper into research mode once I know for sure, I am worried though that the bootloader has been locked as this happened to the S3 later in its life after the Kitkat upgrade.
TLDR is a new G3 from verizon still ROM'able and such?
Thank you for your help, this is a pretty awesome site/forum and I hate to bother you all with noobish questions!

That's correct. I rooted my phone but I was unsuccesful on unlocking the boot loader and now I updated my phone so I lost root. Although I heard about an app called autorec in the play store that will install the custom recovery for you. There is a Verizon g3 variant too

Plan on kdz'ing or tot'ing back to the stock firmware (10B), and then root, unlock, and install TWRP (custom recovery), and you'll be good to go to install custom roms! All OOB firmwares from Verizon can be kdz'ed or tot'ed back to the stock firmware, so yes that's a HUGE plus.

My root script will root 24B. Autorec works with 23C and only 23C. So 24B = Root only but 23C = Root + TWRP. Check out my toolkit which will do all of this for you. bit.ly/VZWG3Toolkit

That's correct. And whether or not you want a custom ROM, I would still root AND unlock, that way you can install TWRP, take nandroid backups, etc. and thereby make it easier on yourself if you ever jacked up the phone doing something with root. I figure if you're gonna go to the trouble of rooting, might as well unlock too. Just my 2 cents

Technically, it's not unlocked. There is an exploit that allows you to flash custom ROMs and kernels as if the bootloader was unlocked. On the surface, yes. You could say it's unlocked, but it it were truly unlocked, you could flash TWRP without having to be rooted. But you can't replace the recovery correctly without being rooted first. Hence, it's an exploit that skirts around the locked bootloader. It's still locked, but an exploit allows you to flash TWRP after you are rooted.
Here's what I know:
The first thing you must do is root the phone. You can root 24B as stated earlier by an earlier post.
Once rooted, you can flash TWRP but only if you are not on 24B. If you are on the latest OTA (24b), you can still flash TWRP, but it requires some extra steps. However, there is an app for this that you can install and run and it will prep your phone for TWRP and then install TWRP. It's basically a one-click TWRP install. You can get it in the Google Play store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=b007.autorecvs985. Saves a lot of headaches.
So, I can one-click root my phone. Then install the LG G3 AutoRec-LP app to flash TWRP for me and I'm done!
You're bootloader is not unlocked, but TWRP is a "bumped" version. Bumping is the term they use for taking advantage of the exploit. But, you can't just flash any ROM out there for the G3. ROMs are specific to the model of the phone you have. For instance, you cannot take a D855 version (UK version of G3 I believe) of a ROM and flash it on your VS985 version. You'll brick it. ROMs have to also be "bumped" in order to work and be flashed, hence that is why the ROMs are specific to each model of the G3.
So if the AT&T version of the g3 has a ROM but the Verizon doesn't have that particular ROM, it's because the dev hasn't bumped their ROM for VS985. So, you can only flash those ROMs that are bumped for VS985.
But, the bumped version of TWRP and the ROMs act the same as if you had an unlocked bootloader, but it's an exploit that could be patched in the future. For whatever reason, LG and Verzion have not done that. Not sure why. But, caution on blindly taking any future OTAs. I would wait until you hear whether you can either revert back to a previous version to exploit and still root and bump on that previous version or not. Otherwise, you will be SOL.
As for unlocking the bootloader, that has only been allowed for overseas variants of the G3, but there is one issue that many might now like. When you truly unlock the bootloader with LG's unlocking tool, DRM is removed (which many would love), but then that means, some movie streaming services you use might not work any more because of the DRM removal. So, my feeling right now is, bumping is the best way to go.
Here's LG's description of what happens when you unlock it officially using their tool (mind you, as I stated, this is only for overseas variants of the G3):

After a bit of going ham on search engines, I managed to root my vrzn sch-i545 oc1 running lolipop 5.0.1 using the desktop version of kingroot. Now that is rooted, is there anyway to use this privilege to unlock the bootloader so I can install a good not touchwiz based rom? A little more digging and I realize now this was a stupid question, but it lead me to another question. I was reading about how there are essentially fuses that prevent downgrading, and the trusted boot sequence of the device. Now I am wondering where in the hardware this lives, and if it's not possible just to replace the hardware with an after market version that doesn't have all of these fuses and what not built in?

Motorola came out with a phone called Moto X Pure Edition where it could easily be unlocked.
Does anyone know if the Moto Z can be rooted or the Moto Z Force? I'm hoping so, because I thought this was the successor to the Moto X Pure Edition which was easily rooted.
If it can't be rooted will the unlocked versions that come out in the fall be rootable? and will they work on Verizon Wireless on all their bands?
Thanks!
This is all that I have found http://www.droid-life.com/2016/06/09/unlocked-moto-z-will-gsm/
If they really make that kind of a move, then that's the last nail in the coffin for Motorola, I kissed Samsung Galaxy phones away for the same reason, no root, no boot loader unlock, will not ever buy their phones until they make them rootable.
So I guess the next best phone on the market is a Nexus?
Though if the Moto phone's bootloader is locked but it can be rooted then I'll buy it, but root is the most important feature to me.
one plus 3 imo is the comparable phone to the moto z. still waiting to see what the 2016 nexus lineup will be. but I am with you, I am a die hard moto fan because of thei open eco system, if the lock it, good bye moto... may go op3
From the linked article..
According to Motorola, when asked if the Moto Z would be unlocked and work on all carriers, like last year’s Pure Edition, they responded to us by saying that the unlocked Moto Z will be “available on GSM networks starting September.”

If that quote from Motorola is verbatim, then my reading comprehension says they didn't answer the question at all.
I don't know for sure of course, but I would be surprised if the non-Verizon version of the phone does not work on CDMA.

I never bought a new phone on its release date, all my other phones have been out for a while when I got one so Root, ROMS and other stuff were always out there. So as your say if and when root does come out for this phone, it will be a hot thread. Thats cool, with some of the reviews I've read, I didn't think this was a popular phone. I think mine runs great but its painfully stock.
I'm thinking about this:
Since Moto Z's BootLoader can be unlocked (I'v tried), why there is no TWRP for moto Z.
Once we get TWRP, we get root, right?

1. Moto Z's bootloader cannot be unlocked at this time. The option in dev options is not the one to go by
2. TWRP and root have nothing to do with each other. But yes.. most likely if and when the bootloader can be unlocked, one should be able to install supersu and root the phone.
I bought an international version of the Moto Z and was able to unlock my bootloader.
How do I go about rooting my phone from here? There are no custom loaders or ROMs available.

This is a little beyond my current technical expertise.
Am I supposed to be compiling this on the device itself? The directions give me the impression that it would need CM or Omni installed already to compile this. Also it seems like I would already need root access on the device to be able to port it. Doesn't that create a chicken/egg problem?

I believe you can do this emulated from a computer. But since no one that I know of has an unlocked bootloader you are the only one who can test that it's working properly. Or wait for others who get the international version to do it. Since most of the people on here at the current time are on Verizon asking us is futile. I will say that I am working on a unlock method but until that is successful I will not be looking into TWRP.
Take Care.

Thanks to @jcadduono for all the help, and DeckerSU for making TWRP device tree.
Report bugs below, and flash phh's SuperUser for root.
Keep in mind all I did was build this; this is in no way my work. That credit goes to DeckerSU for making the device tree!
EDIT: Waiting on DeckerSU's flashing tool to flash this.

I got a private build of Alcatel Flasher from DeckerSU. He also gave me a TWRP partition image. I flashed it, it works great. My Idol 4 (6055P) is rooted now.

So far based on reading with trial and error, nothing yet. I've tried fastboot and adb with no success. The problem I see is the bootloader is locked down.

Wrong, there's a way to root the phone. The first step is to flash the recovery partition with a custom recovery (TWRP), and then to install SuperSU from the custom recovery, which effectively roots the phone. But for now the flashing utility is still not publicly released.

I know you said you have the root tool. Maybe if you request to publish it, more people will be pumped about it. Even if it's a beta I mentioned what I said before on my prior post, there is nothing available because DeckerSu hasn't publicly released it.

You haven't read all the threads on this forum, have you?
I just got this idol4 yesterday. Its replacing my moto e 2015 xt1527 that I had rooted. Sadly I lost that phone. Sadly because I had become so familiar with that device and its major ROM developers/contributors over the last year
So I must say I was a bit disappointed to hear rooting this device will not be as straight forward as last time.
If there are any steps I can take to aid the process feel free to let me know.
I've started pulling logs and procs and stuff

Here are a few tidbits. So far I haven't done anything extraneous like attempt any flashes, I've just been peeping. ADB replies "device" when prompted and let me cp those files. .
Is there something specific I need to be pulling that would help crack open this Idol?
P.s. The text document getprop.txt was generated with terminal command getprop in ADB shell. Its funny, the busybox components look present in system/bin, yet many commands return errors like "get proc not found in system/bin/sh..." to that effect.
And this line popped right out from that same document: [init.svc.flash_recovery]: [stopped]
I'm not sure if any of this info is useful to anyone. So far I haven't found a use for it. Lol
I'm still digging..
I havent been on here for awhile. Any new news on the idol4 for cricket? Any rooting possibilities yet?

Not yet, deckersu never bothered to even attempt after he got the other variations working. Says no one's interested enough

That's a shame. Is deckersu the only person that can figure it out? I have no programming experience unfortunately but patience I do have ?
