After rooting your LG G3 D851 and playing around with the root-requiring apps, you might be wondering what else you can do to customize your device. Well, the real fun is here – with a custom recovery. Here’s how you can do that:
Heres this step
- Download Minimal ADB to your computer. It’ll be used to execute commands on your device.
- Download TWRP Recovery Image to your computer. It is the custom recovery image that will be installed on your device.
- Extract files from Minimal ADB to your computer by right-clicking on it and selecting Extract here.
- Head to Menu->Settings->Developer options on your device and turn on USB debugging.
- Plug in your phone to your computer using a USB cable
- Copy TWRP Recovery Image from your computer over to the internal SD card storage on your device.
- Launch a Command Prompt Window where the extracted ADB files are located. To do that, simply hold down Shift and right-click anywhere on your screen and select Open command window here.
- Type in the following commands into the Command Prompt Window. Make sure to replace RECOVERYNAME.img with the actual name of the recovery image that you have downloaded.
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/RECOVERYNAME.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery - Wait for it to install recovery on your device.
- When it’s done installing recovery, reboot your device.
- You’re all done!
TWRP Recovery is now up and running on the recovery partition on your shiny LG G3 T-Mobile.
