[MOD] Freedom Bumped TWRP One Click 26A & 27A

Here's a one click method to unlock 26A & 27A with a bumped TWRP recovery.
Special thanks to Team Codefire for bump and WACOMalt for TWRP.
Before you can flash any rom after this, the boot.img must be bumped first on any rom you want to use. As time passes, you'll probably see all the ROM's bumped. If the rom you want to use is not BUMPED, don't use this.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: IF THE BOOT IMAGE IS NOT BUMPED ON 27A BY THE DEV OR YOU ON THE ROM YOU WANT TO FLASH, THEN YOU WILL NOT BOOT.
To bump your boot.img, go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/bump-window-version-t2956829
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the one click Freedom Bump TWRP. Must be rooted on 26a or 27a with stump root and dev usb debugging enabled. For stump root click here: STUMP

U don't need it till a rom has a bumped boot.img. This is a new method to unlock so not sure how much it will catch on. If u have a G3 its the only method to unlock.

@MicroMod777 is this thermally controlled like drgravy and dr87 twrp?

Just sucks stump doesn't work for me

Did u run it for like 10 minutes?

Keeps running until eventually it says device unsupported

Nice to finally be on the full 26a bootstack with twrp.

By the sound of it after this you'll wanna flash your chosen thermally governed twrp, assuming you can update to a non bumped twrp. Is that possible micro, or will flashing different twrp break it?

Hello, MicroMod777!
1. I would know, on 26A, will will remain original?
EDIT
2. can I also push back original recovery?

Yes. This only changes recovery.img.

Looks like BUMP project got closed as it was hacked. Do not use this till bumping a boot.img is made possible again. Used Freedom 24a instead.

Do you mean, it is dangerous, because it came from un-trusted source?

It makes it so you can flash recovery? I had the exact same issue that he is having as well as about 300 other people.... You have to downgrade to jellybean then take the ota to kitkat 24a then flash autorec after that you need to download the 24a bootstack flash it and then you will be able to flash 24a ROMs BUT ALSO will then be able to just change modems if you want to try a ROM like the one I'm on lollipop 5.0 to 12b modem read the forums and if someone tells you to do something else other than this don't listen ask around to the people that know what there doing you'll just end up with a brick and have to use lg flash tools anyways lol good luck!

So, i can downgrade to 11A version, then flash recovery and instal for example ParanoidAndroid 4.4.4 or CM11? Or i must first do OTA to 24A then flash recovery?

You need to use Autorec to install TWRP, boot into TWRP, flash the kernel for white line issue. You can confirm beforehand if you have a JDI panel using the app I linked above if you want to be 100% sure that's what your problem is before doing these steps.
If you're currently stuck with white lines and can't see the screen, the only thing I can recommend is returning it to stock using the guide in the General section and starting over.

1. Flash stock rom kdz.
2. Root it.
3. Download kernel for jdi http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51974589&postcount=281
and copy to internal card.
4. Instal Flashify from market.
5. Install Autorec and run. On prompt to reboot to recovery - say no.
6. Run flashify and flash kernel from 3 step via twrp.
7. reboot.
8. wait while flashing kernel (....its all in lines... wait....)
...wait foк lock screen after boot or lock it manually by power on-off.
and it all ok... but boot process and recovery in lines.
if you install twrp app from market, you will be able to flash some roms.
...but this is all that I have achieved.

[RESTORE] Factory Restore 24A zip

Here's a fast way to do a full factory restore so you can take an ota without erasing your internal storage.
This will not however remove the rooted message for a warrant claim.
Check MD5's before flashing.
Step 1: Flash Flash KK24a System Restore 1st.
Step 2: Flash KK24a Bootstack Restore 2nd.
Warning: You will loose your custom recovery after reboot.

Can't do 27a restore as System.img is too big for a zip to be flashed. Its over 2.2gb. Needs to be under 2.1gb for custom recovery to flash it. I can't get it compressed under 2.1gb.

This is cool thanks!

Way cool !! Thanks!

@MicroMod777, just to make sure before I proceed, I lose my custom recovery (in op), but I'm assuming I maintain root? I've read from others root is kept through 27a, and that Freedom Tools also restores recovery. Am I correct on all? Thank you!

You'll loose root, but root detection is still there. You can use my freedom tools to get custom recovery on 27a.

Excellent, thank @MicroMod777. One more question; after I flash this, I'm unrooted, no custom recovery. If I root the 24a using ioroot25 (but not a custom recovery), will the root maintain through the updates to 27A? I recall reading somewhere on here that it did. Thanks for your work!!

Not really sure, but you can always use Stump Root on 27A. Can take up to 10 minutes for it to root through brute force:

I am pretty sure root maintains with the OTA 27A.

Looks like they may have patched that in twrp recently.

Though this could also just be for backups over 2gb... But they split those anyway.

I haven't had to use it on my LP system images. I used 7zip to compress one with zerofree, the other without zerofree, and the difference was around 8MB. I'm assuming LG didn't add too much junk info. this time around.

VS980 Resources - Bootstacks/Modems/Manual OTA/etc

!!! PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST BEFORE PROCEEDING !!!
!!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS THAT OCCUR WHILE INSTALLING/USING THIS !!!
This is a repository for common VS980 resources, not a Q&A thread.
FAQ:
What is a "bootstack"?
Our devices have a number of partitions that all work together to give us a functioning smartphone. Every time LG releases a new firmware there are certain partitions that get updated (aboot, dbi, laf, modem, rpm, sbl1, tz). This subset of partitions was given the arbitrary label "bootstack" at one point and the term stuck. They have been grouped together here in flashable zips along with a custom recovery and are referenced by their corresponding official LG version code (i.e. 12b, 26a, etc).
NOTE: Though the "modem" and "aboot" (bootloader) partitions are included, these terms are NOT synonymous with bootstack.
Which one should I use?
Please reference your firmware's OP to verify which bootstack version is required. These ALL include the full set of matching partitions. For example, the 27A zip contains the 27A aboot, modem, etc.
My firmware thead mentions loki. Do I need the older aboot/bootloader?
If you are flashing a kernel (or firmware containing a kernel) that hasn't been bumped, you will also need to flash this 12B bootloader zip after. If you aren't sure, you can generally use this as it works with both loki and bump exploits. This may not always be the case, but for now it is. The custom TWRP recovery included in these zips works with both.
What's the difference between bump/loki?
These are the two bootloader security exploits that we have for our device. They are the only reason you are able to flash custom kernels and recoveries in the first place. Discussion of their intricacies is beyond the scope of this thread, but here's a good place to start reading.
How do I get fastboot back?
Some people weren't comfortable with fastboot, so I've left the Download Mode (laf) partition in these. If you want fastboot instead, flash this.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flashable Bootstack zips:
12B
24A
26A
27A
28A
39A
12B Bootloader - needed for older kernel/boot images (and firmware that contains a kernel) that ONLY support loki.
*All zips include TWRP 2.8.6.3 compiled by @blastagator. Please thank him along with the TWRP team for their work.
**The 39A zip contains the 28A aboot/laf since LG has patched the bump exploit with their L releases.
Flashable Modem zips:
12B
24A
26A
27A
28A
39A
* These zips ONLY contain the modem. If you want all of the corresponding partitions together (highly recommended) you should use the bootstack zips above.
Manual OTA:
Make sure your phone is COMPLETELY stock. Even the slightest change to one file will disrupt the OTA process as these are binary patches, not kdz's. If you are unsure whether any file has been modified, you should KDZ or TOT first.
Copy/paste the following url into your browser while changing the two version numbers in RED to match the patch you wish to apply. The example below downloads a bin file that brings you from 27A to 28A.
https://pvzwmdmcdn.vzw.motive.com/firmware/LG_VS980_27A_TO_28A.bin
*Keep in mind that there may not always be a patch directly to the version you want. For example, to get to 39A, we first had to apply 27A to 28A, then 28A to 39A. Thanks to @JackpotClavin for finding these files.
Change the extension of the file you just downloaded from ".bin" to ".up"
Create a folder in the root of the sdcard on your phone named "SoftwareUpdate" and copy the file into that folder. Using the example above, you would now have a /sdcard/SoftwareUpdate/LG_VS980_27A_TO_28A.up file on your phone.
If you prefer CLI and have root with working adb setup or terminal app on your phone, you can enter the following command from a root shell prompt to start the update process. Otherwise skip to the next step.
Code:
am start -n com.lge.lgfota.permission/.DmcEzUpdateStart
You can also download an app that allows you to launch activities through a GUI, such as Activity Launcher. In this app, select All Activities from the dropdown, scroll down until you find "com.lge.lgfota.permission", and then select DmcEzUpdateStart from there. It may also be hiding under Verizon Hidden Menu or Software Update.
Your phone will reboot on its own and go through the OTA process. If you encounter any errors, it's because you weren't 100% stock, so you will need to kdz/tot first.

UPDATE:
I can confirm that fastboot is still available with the 39A bootloader. Not surprisingly, the bump exploit has been patched.
Bump still works with the 28A bootloader, however.

I think you copy/pasted the wrong links for the "Unofficial firmware". I'm getting a login prompt when trying to access them.

Yeah, I had to go to 27A bootloader to be able to get twrp working (I had to kdz for about the 6th time in the past 2 days ). That sucks that they patched it though.

TWRP works, you just need 27A or 28A bootloader (aboot). I also needed a bumped boot.img because I was getting the boot cert. error.
Side question: Are you able to turn your wi-fi radio on/off? I can't get it to turn on.

I flashed XDABBEB's 39A bootstack on Blastagator's Bumped TWRP 2.8.5.1 and then restore your modified 39A's rooted ROM. Everything works like it should with 39A "baseband" and 39A "software" in "about" section. :good:
This bootstack essentially "purified" your "frankensteined" 39A's rom

TWRP works, you just need 27A or 28A bootloader (aboot). I also needed a bumped boot.img because I was getting the boot cert. error.
Side question: Are you able to turn your wi-fi radio on/off? I can't get it to turn on.

WiFi works fine for me on MicroMod's 39A's rooted rom and purified by XDABBEB's 39A bootstack :good:

How about the power button LED, is that working properly, now that you've updated the bootstack?
I haven't tried test rom MicroMod777 provided with the new bootstack, I may just try it to see if wi-fi works.
First I'm going to restore my backup before I made all my changes to see if wi-fi will work.

MicroMod's 39A as the "feature" of the always dimly lit power button. The 39A bootstack kept it lit so I can find my phone at night

It's not, it's the same thing.

Used this KDZ and the listed method on my VS980 and it worked perfectly. Plan on rooting, just haven't gotten to it yet.

Thanks, found that... but took a number of tries. Looks like I just needed to switch the USB port I was plugged into for it to go through.

Nice!

I finally got root to work after using this kdz file and starting on lollipop from scratch. One click worked, but it didn't show the final step (running the root script). I just waited a couple of minutes, rebooted phone. Profit! Now to get my tether on...

LG took out the "root status" entry in the about phone status section. Am I right? I think other than a new UI that's the only good thing.

It can be changed from "Unofficial" to "Official", but it's only cosmetic anyway. When you get into recovery with the button press method it will say "Rooted" at the top of the screen, as it always has.

I Tried many times, but stuck at 2% (Upgrade stopped due to an error) Please let me know md5 of the KDZ and which flashtool you used? Which boot-stack you were using before flashing KDZ? Thanks.

Do you have a pageplus sim or was it flashed to pageplus? If it was flashed updating ruins the flash and pageplus used to not support 4g anyways. You need a sim to get 4g now.

Root, Freedom tool to get TWRP, install 12B bootstack and install 12B stock rom to get 4G back. Then you can flash 39A bootstack and install 39A stock rom back to keep 4G

Thanks! by bootstack i assume u mean the flashable modem? correct?
---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------
just for future note i rooted and ran freedom and 4g was fixxed didnt need to switch any boot stacks
or modems my thoughts are that freedom fixxed it somehow

Lollipop it's better than kitKat but the life battery is bad.
Finally root in my vs980 enjoy..
