Hello,
First sorry for that thread. I'm be a stranger to LG devices and I' m confused and not sure that I pick the right ansers from each threat.
Device: LG G3, 32 GB, V10F-TUR-XX
I' m really very new to LG's rooting process. Before I' used HTC and Samsung devices. I rooted and made a lot of things with my Samsung Note 2. Now give it away and purchased me the LG G3.
LG Rooting procedures are confusing and scaring me .
I' ll be very appreciated if someone could answer the questions below.
So far I see there are many rooting tools for the device. Which one is the proper one for my device. How do I know to choose the right one. I hope the device specs I mentioned above are enough.
What are exactly the differences between the rooting tools.
Are there locking mechanisms of the Kernel like on Samsung. Is it possible to lose the EFS partition like on Samsung devices.
Are there some codes like Samsung's KNOX.
Am I able to go back to the unrooted state.
Thanks in advance

You may want to ask the moderators to move this to Q&A before you get flamed.
There is a root tripper.
I'd check out Purple Drake. It should work for all variants. I/O root may work for your variant though.
There is an EFS backup tool, I suggest you use it.
You can unroot if necessary. Or just flash the appropriate tot/dll files.

Not a problem. This is my first LG device as well. I've just had the time to read through everything. Thought it'd be best before I start messing with stuff

This is my second LG. Before I used LG Optimus but was not in the rooting business. I let my Note 3 untouched . I started rooting Samsung devices with my Note 2. So far I see rooting Samsung devices is much easier than the LG devices.
By the way thank you again. But I still not feeling ready to root my LG G3 :laugh:

No No. Rooting will be fine I think.
I only worry about to unroot the device to its original state.
This is important for me to get newer versions of the device's software. (Android's nwer versions like 4.5 or greater).
Thanx.

I have my S3 all clean and sexy.
I'm looking for a way to Root my SGH-I999 (correct me if im wrong), and i have a macbook pro. Sorry for mentioning that, i know i should be stoned to death for even mentioning that.
I have seen a few different tutorials on rooting the S3 for windows, and even one or two for MacOSX. But i wanted to be sure that this would work for my T-Mobile variant as well as the international versions that are shown in the video.
Could i use the international version's tutorial?
If not, where could i find a good place to root my device?
Thanks!
You could use boot camp/parallels on your mac for windows, and root your device that way. After rooting, be sure NOT to install ROMs that are not compatible with your device variant; doing so will result in a bricked phone.
Good luck!

I definitely do not want to brick my phone already haha
Thanks buddy! I think im going to try that out as well
hi all I'm trying to root my phone but there is so many different ways to tour. I would like the simplest way to root but I want it to do everything that all rooting software would do. I've come across one click options and would like to do those since I don't have to use my computer. Please help! Thanks
you are so going to get bashed in here for asking that question. The expectation is that everybody reads everything they can and then if they are hung up on something they can post a question. I am a relative noob although I have lurked on this site for a few years. I don't bash anybody though.
I understand your frustration.
I simply flashed a single .tar file to my phone while my phone was in download mode. I felt it was very simple using windows on my Mac. There is the very simple Exynos exploit file somewhere here where you download it and basically install it. I thought that this Exynos installation did something to the camera app.
Hopefully, somebody here will help you determine what is best for you. I really haven't tried many methods of root. I like to stick with one I am familiar with since a lot things might go wrong if not done right.
I am not sure what you mean by having the root method do everything that all rooting software would do. When you root you are just gaining access to portions of your phones files that are locked when you buy it. If you want more 'stuff' then you would flash a custom rom after rooting
Thanks for not bashing me. I'm def a noob and I'm new to the android community. I moved from an iPhone to galaxy n2 so I'm learning as I go. Thanks for your help!

Check out Chainfire's method for rooting. It's very simple, there is even a video instruction going step by step. It took me 5 minutes and I came from an Iphone. Head on over to the Original android development subforum, you'll see it there. Good luck!
Google "exynos abuse" if you have not already taken the ota update.

I used the exynos abuse because I didn't need to use my computer to do it and it worked fine. But once I did the latest OTA update from AT&T, I lost root. So I did the Chainfire method. (See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644 )
t's really easy and took about 5 min.
You might find a few helpful things on the page I made here.. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ROMs & Community Links
First, take a breath...

Just got my Note 2 about 3 weeks ago and haven't ventured into rooting it yet, BUT I did research here on XDA about rooting before doing it to my Galaxy S2 (AT&T) and the one thing I want to mention is to take your time are read to confirm whether or not the procedures you're looking at are for the Note 2 AND for the variant you have. Using the wrong process (rooting, kerneling, installing custom rom) can cause all sorts of problems, so don't be impatient if you don't know what you're doing. And by all means DO A COMPLETE BACKUP before you do any rooting.
That said, when I did root my S2, it was a very easy process...took all of about 15 minutes to backup, root, install custom rom, etc.
Good luck...and let us know how you do!

Hello,
I recently got Galaxy S4, and interested in rooting the phone. I have jailbroke my iPhone 4S. It was time for me to upgrade to Android (worthit).
What if I mess up rooting the S4, would be hard to restore it or something?
I don't understand about the stock thingy.
Thank you. Hope you guys reply my thread.

While there is a slight... very slight chance the root process will mess up, as long as you can get into download mode the phone should be recoverable. Basically, rooting the S4 is easier than any jailbreak I've ever used... well, except for that one web exploit and carries about as much risk. Hope that explains a little and puts it into perspective.

Alright Thanks for the respond. If incase, I messed up with the root. How would I restore to stock firmware?
I quickly googled it, it has the stock firmware download, but it requires root. *i am confused with that*

Look through the forums. There are threads stickied as the first posts that tell you how to return your phone back to stick (ie, out of box condition). It can be done, and once done, it would be really hard to tell that you did anything at all.
Ok I have been reading a lot of Posts on Root/Root unlock boot loader. I am a little confused with all of it. I am coming from a LG G2 to the LG G4 on Verizon
If I remember, I rooted my G2 with iRoot. I am not someone that plays with roms. I am only interested in rooting my phone so I am able to use Hot Spot if needed, and a few apps like Titanium Backup. As well as being able to turn off some of the bloat ware.
(Q) - Am I able to Root my phone for the things I listed? Or do I need to wait for the wonderful DEV community to be able to unlock the boot loader?
Thank you

No worries, it hasn't even been a week since it's been officially released so it will just take some time.

I do understand that. Just so much info flying around, and with work and everything else, just not enough time to read all of it.
It is good to see people are working on cracking the egg so to speak.
I love root. It is pretty important to me. I have rooted every device I have ever owned (and many for many people). I value things like:
1. using deeper control of Tasker (GPS, airplane mode, etc.)
2. using deeper control of Root Explorer file manager
3. Using a root run firewall to block data access (versus VPN if no root)
4. Running AdAway to kill every conceivable ad I can from apps to websites (XDA is terrible w/ ads for example)
5. using root based exploits of other apps like Lightflow or backup utilities or call blocking tools (since you can only do 10 SMS/phone # blocks on VZW and they only last 90 days)
6. using root apps to freeze and delete bloat
7. and of course, having something like CWM or TWRP
8. Xposed!
With Verizon, I have watched it become more and more of a PITA. But I loved the specs of this phone so much, I took the leap praying root will come to us without any loss or damage of native functions.
So assume the exploit used by current AIO LG root tool is closed on the G4.

A simple search of "G4" in that thread reveals this answer...
No.
New G4 lacks ability to run scripts from this COM prompt. Still a work in progress
