Bump! - Unlock your LG G3 with TWRP! (Sprint)

So a question, when I do get around to flashing a custom rom on my Sprint G3, will I have to edit the build.prop to ATT each time I flash (as I'm using it on ATT)?
Idle curiosity here. Since this is just a straight dd command, could it be run from the phone in a root terminal app? I'm not at home, and I'm wondering if the PC connection is just to make zeroing the recovery partition and writing the recovery over it easier, or if the recovery depends on the PC connection during the initial write process

Either way, I'm not going to mess with it until I'm home, so I have PC access to a way to fix anything that might go wrong

Worked perfect but didn't exactly do what the instructions said.
If I held the power button and volume then let go and re-pressed the power it would simply boot normally, if I just held the power and volume without ever releasing it it said "Recovery Mode" and then booted right in to TWRP.
Normal ?

The video mentions that the device has to be bump'd for this to work and not lose your data. What exactly does bump'd mean?
So, I did it all via terminal, booted into recovery, and backing up now.
Is it really this easy? or am I missing something?

It means that if you try this WITHOUT a custom recovery, the stock recovery will do a full data wipe, including internal SD
FYI
I had troubles rebooting into recovery.... so i went back to adb and did adb reboot recovery and booted into TWRP just fine.

Doing through ADB means you dont have to risk that.

What about rebooting to recovery from the advanced power menu, does that work?

We all know it's coming so I'll be the d#ck in the room.
We have the boot loader unblocked, why are there no good ROMS out yet?
JK LOl!

Do you have the LG drivers installed? Your PC is capable of seeing phone storage without the drivers so maybe that's holding you up...
Ill check. Do you know why terminal tells me "su is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" ?
I rooted my G3 with stump when it first went public. I typed the first two commands in android terminal and they work.
Edit : Could i be mistaken and this is all one command su
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
dd if=/sdcard/twrp-2.8.0.0_ls990-signed.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery ?
