Hello everyone,
I just recently got a LG Optimus LTE on the canadian telus network.
I am looking to root it. My info is as follows:
LG Optimus LTE
LG-P935
Android 2.3.5
Baseband: P935 v10a JAN 24, 2012
Kernel 2.6.35.11
I searched the forums already and came up with just one post of a user with the v10k baseband, saying he couldn't root. Hopefully i can
Thanks
Go into settings -> About Phone. If you are using V10k, you cannot root your device. If you are using v10f to v10i, you can root.

yes, but 135 also can root.
if you want to root 141, you downgrade to 135 and root.
then upgrade to 141 and root too.
135 rooting tool is here:

Thanks for jacking my thread dude, but nobody answered my question am I able to root, and if I am what program do I use?
I'm willing to pay good money for a root option for v10a. It must be possible.
seems to be possible.
checking into it now. do a search again
Yes it is possible My phone is proof, Check out the Thread Titled "Root Telus p935?"

@PrajapatiKetan,
Your link was broken, mate. For everyone who wants to try his method (at your own risk, obviously) here's the thread.
Edit, Basically, he's just suggestiong that you use unlockroot which probably just uses zergrush. I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't work.
Hi there!
Topic title is self explanatory.
Would like to know if anyone tried or know the answer for it.
Can I flash a stock firmware from a D855 to a D855P?
Mine LG G3 is D855P and come with the bloatware from the Carrier.
Thanks!

I'm on the same boat! Bought mine directly from TIM, here in Brazil...
I've read somewhere that the P letter refers to some kind of package bundle, like mine which came with the wireless charger... Just don't know it really is this way for sure...
Well, mine did come with the wireless charger as well.
Hope someone know the answer... My firmware version is 10a, from what I heard there are many improvements already on the newer ones.

That is an interesting question, and depending on the answer I will buy this phone. I think the fw is the same, since these model share the "D855" model.
Another question is: what is the worst scenario to try the flash? Maybe the phone will be in a bootloop, but flashing the right fw after will probably fix that
Maybe... But I'm afraid to brick it hahaha. Would like someone confirming it.
I'm with the same problem.
I think it's compatible, but I'm afraid of bricking it.

From this it looks like it's the same.. so it should work and not brick.
About the G3 TweakBox I can't say, mine is not rooted, so I can't try it.
My G3 is from Vivo as well, which root did you use?

I use the PurpleDrake-lite (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/root-root-lg-g3-easily-purpledrake-lite-t2821000)
ART?
I find another problem in my D855P.
I can´t change it from dalvik to ART... Can anyone do it?
Well I haven't tried, but I heard ART is having issues with LG G3... randomly turning off for example, what should be a incompatibility with LG code.

Totally agree, but some applications are having issues with that, Just like the others I need to know if it is safe to flash the d855 firmware in our d855p phones, my phone is from TElcel carrier in Mexico, I hope someone give us some light.
I managed to change from delvik to ART. my G3 is d855p from vivo.
Just really want to know about flashing...
I tried the Towelroot method and TWRP for D855 with success on my D855P v10a from Telcel (Mexico).
Mine ART is working well.

Since my build.prop says it is international D855...
ro.product.model=LG-D855
ro.product.brand=lge

I tried to flash SphinX G3 Neo V2.0 with TWRP method but the one described in the post should work as well.
Now I have my first custom rom.
Hope this info can help you... I'm not responsable for any damage you could do to your phone. Always backup everything (system,boot,efs,recovery) before trying this.
You must choose D855 and not another model.

btw mine one is SIM-unlocked from carrrier Telcel, I tried to put a Tuenti simcard and it works XD
I have rooted using PurpleDrake-lite, worked smoothly.
Installed Xposed Frameworks and G3 TweakBox, all working.
One interesting think I checked was when I installed G3 TweakBox, I installed it from PlayStore on my computer, and the phone is listed as BCP LGE-D855... so I guess it's safe to flash the stock firmwares from D855, as "badtzo" said he did on his one from Mexico.
Later I will try to flash the European, Unbranded 10E version to mine, will report results.
As said before, reporting results.
Tried to flash Europe-NoBrand 16gb 10E version from this topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799647), using method described there (LGFlashTool), not succeeded, it won't flash as it accuses to be different model phone.
"badtzo" flashed using TWRP, and said he succeeded with a custom room, so I have a question for him before trying something else...

Can you check if your phone model is showing as D855 on about now? If it does, we might have a way there, flash SphinX G3 Neo V2.0 and later do what I couldn't succeed for stock updated version.

No, mine info on phone still remain saying it is D855P, but stock one and moded build.prop says is D855, also Pc Suite says is D855 but it download D855P10A_00.kdz (telcel one). I tried that specific rom because it can be flashed through recovery, I don't recommend to flash any firmware via KDZ until we can be 100% sure about compatibility otherwise you can mess the bootloader and brick your phone. By now just flash roms that doesn't modify anything with boot.
I won't try, as I don't have much experience with LG's.
Guess we will have to wait a little more, new custom rooms and some more information.
By the way how did you install TWRP? I had a quick look for it and looks like there is no official LG G3 version yet.

In general section is a post about tethered TWRP for D855 "only". Don't try to flash it, I did it and my phone was acting weird, just do the specified steps on the post, to boot not flash from it and you will be safe and don't forget to backup your recovery first.

Just got my LG G3 D858 (Dual Sim) yesterday.
Just wondering, LG will release Lollipop soon right? should I root now or just wait for the 5.0 update?

I would root right now while you have the chance and install a custom lollipop rom.
After the official lollipop gets released by LG it will lock your bootloader, If you already have it unlocked.
Also it's rumored that root may not work on the G3 after the official lollipop update.

Thanks for the advice.
Yeah im planning to root now.. problem is.. I dont think other ROMs would work for the D858 variant. (Dual Sim)
Is it possible to get OTA while being rooted?

I think CloudyG3 1.2 -=- [All Variants] might work for you as a custom rom, He hasn't released lollipop version yet, It's still on 4.4.2 for now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-cloudyg3-1-0-t2917467
But when he does release the lollipop version it will be rooted!! and you will still have your bootloader unlocked!!
This is the rom I'm waiting for on my D852 since I'm pretty much in the same boat as you when it comes to not much development for my model.
You will lose root or bootloop if you OTA while rooted.
I've seen a lot of people get their G3's stuck in a bootloop from accepting a OTA while bootloader is unlocked too.
Personally I would just avoid any OTA's for now and stick with stock 4.4.2 or a custom rom, I'm itching to try lollipop too, sooo bad. but it's not worth being locked down!!

Try and us towel root ( Towelroot.com ) worked like a charm for me. Its from Geohot who is a very well respected hacker in Android , iOs and he is the one who jailbroke the PS3 originally.

Yeah, it's because you have the 11c software instead of the stock 10b. You need to flash the original firmware. Google xda g3 stock 10b and you'll find out how to do it.

yup. I saw the spreadsheet file, stumproot is suppose to work, but I did an OTA update, which patched my device.
I've already contacted the dev, hopefully he can help me out.

Dont even bother with that. Find your stock firmware and put your phone into download mode and use LG Flash Tool to flash to stock. Try googling what I just described, and you will be able to root to your pleasure.

Thanks for your help guys. I was able to downgrade and root successfully.
After rooting, there's an OTA available. Will I lose root if i install OTA?
I'd root now, the rooting is so easy nowadays.
Hello i need help
Just updated my LG G3 D855 32 Gb version to lollipop. I tried one click method and others but no success. Please help i want to root.
Sorry in advance if this issue ws already discussed.
I have the very same as you my friend, D855, can't seem to be able to root it using the One-click root tool or any other tool/method. It's really annoying
Hello , Pls help to fix v20g-sea can't root at all.
I've also been trying to get my V20g-SEA-XX model rooted.
Tried ioroot, One Click, Purple Drake, and a few other manual adb methods. Nothing seems to work.
I am using the HKG variant of v20G and I am also facing the same problem. I have tried several methods but none of them has worked out for me.
There was no problem with me rooting when I was using V20B

Above method seems to work for 20G firmware, give it a go.
Cheers mate, that's worked out for me.
For me having upgraded the European model to Lollipop I had no other option than to downgrade to KitKat, then all one-click methods including Towelroot worked.
It works, ty.

Hello XDA.. I own an LG G4 (H815L Variant), and I am very interested in rooting my G4 H815L (Israeli variant).
however, I am extremely unsure whether any of the available rooting methods will work with this variant (by rooting I mean that I also need to unlock the bootloader and TWRP)
anyone know if any of the currently available methods will work with this model? as far as I know, from trying, the official method does not work just yet with the H815L.
thanks in advance to anyone who can answer.
yes i have it and rooted with no problem, follow the guide on the original android development forum.

and when it comes to the "command to run", do I download the file listed under the:
[ International H815 10c Version (NOT H815T, H815TR, H815P, etc - you will lose internationalization and possibly features) ]?
nevermind, figured it myself. thanks for the help! this post can be closed.
I made a rooted rom for H815L based on the Israeli 10c version & running it on my phone since yesterday.
Everything is like stock including all regional features (like RTL alignment & Hebrew on dialer)
if someone is interested i will upload it.

Well I did not use the official method. I used the method presented at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765/
followed instructions to the letter, while downloading the drivers which are labeled: "All G4 (except Verizon) - http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime...Ver_3.14.1.exe"
and the Command to run I used was:
"International H815 10c Version (NOT H815T, H815TR, H815P, etc - you will lose internationalization and possibly features):
Code:
dd if=/data/media/0/system.rooted.H81510c-EU.img bs=8192 seek=55296 count=529920 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
using these with the instructions the OP wrote in that post just got my phone rooted.
I do recommend that you do a little more research before attempting... would feel bad if you got your phone bricked.... cause as you can see, in the command to run he mentions not to try it one the H815P...
you better ask him which command to run you need to use before committing to this method.
I wish you luck friend!

From what I understood... the "etc" meant that all the H815 variants (H815L , H815T, H815P, and so...) can be considered as "NOT"
Did you notice anything wrong after doing it? Everything fine?
