Here's my Freedom Tool if your on stock Lollipop 20b. After you get rooted this will install TWRP so you can flash custom roms.

T-Mobile g3 has an unlocked bootloader and doesn't need bump. What does this do?
You should pay attention to your Sig before you post this, We here Dont need BUMP, our bootloaders are all Unlocked.......................


BTW, You sig says, Use Search, a simple search would of told you that.
Doesn't matter, still works for those who need twrp on stock setup to flash roms.

Bump is a hack that bypasses LG security on boot checks. I came from the Verizon G2 that needed it. I forgot that T-Mobile don't lock their devices down like all other carriers.

I also recently bought a LG G Pad 8 inch that locked was locked down. Not even on any carrier but was locked down. Couldn't even get TWRP on it due to this.

A simple misunderstanding. Im sure the others with locked bootloaders would love this tool. and its good that you would do one for them....

T-Mobile locks down some of their devices. The g3 is lucky enough not needing it. That's why the d851 had ROMs first. Anyways, its easier to just use the one click root method and either use twrp manager or flashify to get twrp on your phone.

Guess it just makes T-Mobile that much better than the competition as being the "UnCarrier"! I was with Verizon for years and got tired of their outrages pricing and lockdowns. Plus, having unlimited data is what finally got me back to TMO.

I have a D851 on the stock, rooted Lollipop ROM. I want to install TWRP but before I do anything, I just wanna make sure I'll still be able to boot back into the stock ROM after installing the recovery using this tool. (Someone reported on another forum that he installed TWRP using bump, but couldn't boot back into the stock ROM.)

If your on stock LP then choose the 20b version for twrp. Your booting will work fine. Thats what this is for.

Tmobile LG G3 Android 4.4.2 not working!

I have tried and seems someone has not posted a good instructions on how to root access this device I have been reading the forms I am more confused now then before I even thought about rooting this unit... maybe I might need to pass on this phone.. because I don't feel like spending all day getting this to operate correct the instructions would really help starting from the beginning as to which method is best and where to find the links these posts are like a one thing and then just goes into a different subject.
