Does this unlock the bootloader or will I have to unlock it using bump?

 

[bender_007]

It is bumping. It's doing everything for you.

Yes bootloader bumped.

[churchey360]

If i do this method do i still have to use bump to flash a custom ROM?

 

[bender_007]

No you don't. This is 1 click and you're ready. However I recommend you download the latest bumped twrp and flash it inside the current recovery. I'll add new versions soon and some more features

I installed successfully, but when I rebooted out of TWRP I get "Security Error" boot loop. Any idea where I should go from here?

I had this problem but luckily before i flashed the twrp i downloaded a cm nightly onto my external sd card then after i flashed twrp and tried to boot the stock ROM i got the sercurity error so i went back to twrp and flashed CyanogenMod and it booted up fine..

So autorec downgrades the bootloader to jb ? And does it stay jb after I upgrade to 2.8.6.1 bump?

Yup just rooted and installed TWRP on ZVA...got the same "Security Error" and power off. Downloading BarePapA to an SD card now, will post results once installed!

 

[VirtueToVice]

Yes it worked.

Here was what i did:
Started with a bone stock Sprint G3 running 5.0.1 ZVA

Ran the one click root for ZVA. Rooted successfully

Installed the TWRP one click APK. The phone booted into TWRP and went into download mode fine but would display "Security Error" and turn off if a regular boot was attempted.

I downloaded BarePapA V1 and threw it onto an SD card. Booted into TWRP and followed the install directions on the ROM page. Install was a success. It booted fine. Took a minute to prepare the apps as usual but everything works and i am rooted. Posting from the phone now. Great modded stock ROM by the way.

 

[bender_007]

I've got the autorec also for zva. It doesn't boot because of more recent kernel. I can post it. Basically you can just flash a kernel and it will work.

EDIT:

Autorec ls990 ZVA - download

This worked for me on ZV8 with root. Thanks! I do have one question though. The boot.img of the stock kernel that was replaced and the new kernel that was installed is of a different size. The new kernel image is ~13.5 MB while the stock ZV8 kernel image is ~16.8 MB. What are the changes between the two or the origin?

On a side note, I attempted to flash a factory ZV8 boot image and the bootloader said no way. I then flashed a bumped factory ZV8 image and it worked as it should.
