Root Bump Unlock

I would not be surprised if the Volt has the same method of "bootloader lock" (i.e. secureboot validation) - I doubt LG would have spent time making anything custom for this phone. From what I've read, seems that they're signing images with LG's signature (or something that the phone thinks is LG's signature). In a week or so they say they will release more details.

im sure that if there were new info, it would be posted, but, im just checking if there has been any update to this yet. im not trying to be pushy.
The Bump devs have not yet posted a tool to sign images. My (slightly unrealistic) hope is that the key used to sign LG G3 images is the same for the Volt - that would be the best case scenario. We should immediately be able to flash our current CWM to our recovery in that case...but it's wishful thinking at this point.

awesome, glad it worked for us. I tried paying attention to the bump thread but it turned into a total S**T show.

Edit: i think i still have a version of twrp that i also built, in the next day or so i will see if i still have it. So then you can use cwm or twrp.

would really like twrp, I tried to build one but was getting error lunching. was hurting my brain so just gave up.

Extract, run the Run.bat
accept the rsa key on phone
Back in the command window your device should be visible
Choose G to flash recovery
