not sure but maybe skr tools might help, or what about flashify.? not sure if flashify can be used though.

Im running the exact same make & model (G2 VS9803AA). Were you able to find a safe & reliable method of installing TWRP, by chance?

skr tools usually works

Flash VS98039a firmware using KDZ method. Then root the phone using LG Root Tool. Install AutoRec Lollipop from Playstore to install TWRP.

[Q] CM11 and tmo D801

I have been trying to flash CM11 to my G2(Tmo) but the problem I am running into is that no matter what tut I follow I end up with the same result. Fail. I have attached a pic of my screen if that helps. I have TWRP v2.6.3.2 installed and everything but install runs fine. The error that comes up on the install screen is "E:Error executing updater binary in zip '.........'. I am a noob to flashing/roms sorry If more information is needed just let me know.
Thanks.

To flash CM11 and most kitkat roms, you'll need to update TWRP. The most up-to-date version for the D801 (T-Mobile G2) is v2.6.3.5, which can be found in the CMB thread under G2 Android Development (T-Mobile): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568732 . The update is a flashable zip, so download it to your phone, reboot to recovery, and install it using your existing TWRP. After a reboot into recovery you should be updated, and you should be able to flash CM11.
thanks

Yes, it's rooted. And it's 4.4.2 stock rom.
I've tried that but the app says: "AutoRec cannot install it. Try to install it manually" or something like that.

Autorec doesn't work on every variant. You might have to flash a different stock ROM using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 and then use autorec. What is your software version?

His error actually said that Autorec couldn't install loki(it means : 1. it isn't properly rooted 2. it isn't stock rom 3. he didn't give the permissions)

I think i've done it all. My rom is this:
6H3/HUTCHISON_16G(UNITED KINGDOM) V20D LGD802 from LG firmware lists (I can't paste links)
I'm from Spain and that ROM is from United Kingdom, could it be the problem?

OMG. I don't know how I've done this but AutoRec has finally installed TWRP. And I can enter recovery mode and it appears Team Win.
I've rooted it again and installed the apk. Thank you guys.
Can I install custom ROMs now, right?

Lg g3 d856 kitkat/lollipop root and twrp

Rooting the KITKAT or LOLLIPOP the one click rooting method is working fine for me. Here is the link
Now come to the main point TWRP
KITKAT : Download this . Install flashify from playstore and flash the recovery using it.
For lollipop :just Download the auto rec[/URL] . Install it and Open the app. Do what it says. Done.
If there is any problem, there is a fb page for D856.
For kitkat you can also try to simply install the twrp using flashify.
As for autorec contact me and I will add the d856 string into it and it will be valid
Hay
Can i install d858 rom on my d856
Thanks a lot, kaziupal! Have you managed to install any custom ROM with dual sim support using TWRP? Does backup/restore function work well?
Stuck on bootloop after editing build.prop
kaziupal said:
Well brother, first thing first If you have an LG G3 and the variant is D856 then regard yourself as an unlucky person who won't have any unofficial support , no custom rom no CM12, nothing brother we are the orphan here.
Ok, about rooting on KITKAT and LOLLIPOP the one click rooting method is working fine for me. Here is the link
Now come to the main point TWRP
Well there is no official or unofficial twrp for D856 ...
But there is for D858HK. So for kitkat download your LG G3 D856 original KDG form here
Download the Imageprep gui from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxHcXHUSGaDDeWsxT3BzRDZuUE0/view
Install it and do accordingly with this guide here
when downloading just download the D858hk TWRP and use the aboot image and laf image which is in your KDZ
IF you are doing it accordingly you will be able to do be in TWRP.
About lollipop it is easier, just Download the auto rec LG G3 D858HK variant , Install it and go to the build prop change the model number of your phone to D858HK and reboot the device. Open the auto rec app. Do what it says. Done.
If there is any problem, contac me

Hi, I was excited to see this thread as I had already rooted my LG G3 d856 but could not find any custom recovery or custom ROM for it. Since I was on lollipop I downloaded Autorec d858HK and the changed the model number of my phone to d858HK and rebooted but it hasn't been able to recover from the reboot. At this point, it seems hopeless as stock recovery is also not installed because I attempted to flash d855 recovery earlier through flashify and since then when i reboot to recovery it just shows error. Please help me and Thank you

Flash the lollipop and start from the begining. Some one has posted an autorec for D856 variant. Use it nect time.
On a separate note, has anyone had any success in getting any AOSP ROM working on our d856?

A little bit more than:"it doesn't work"
What happens? Describe the procedure so we know why it didn't work. Which autorec? Disabled "mount namespace seperation" in supersu? What exactly doesn"t work.

Well, the programs always report success.
The autorec I used was the one posted here, and the TWRP I used with Flashify was the one posted in the ported marshmallow ROM.
Mount namespace is disabled, yes.

So you could press the upper button and it reported success?
You don´t have to use flashify afterwards.
someone help me out here.
firstly, will there be official marshmallow update for d856?
secondly, how do i get roms working flawlessly on my d856? is there a way since no roms seem to be supported for the d856?
thirdly, please explain to me the simple way of rooting my d856.
lastly, will i get the official marshmallow update (if it comes out) OTA if i root my d856?
Im sorry for so many questions. Tbh im regretting not checking the phone model before buying it.
is there root and recovery available for MM ?
