The act of rooting your phone isn't going to cause instability. It's typically what users do AFTER they're rooted that leads them to that.
If you don't know what you're doing you can screw things up pretty good, but overall you should be good!

You don't need a computer or cable with Stump Root. It's an app you download. Click a button, phone reboots, then install SuperSu from play store
- Tapatalked from the G3
use purpledrake method. its better and easier.
but you have to download lg drivers before to make that.
I am not going to root until I have at least once restored the system to "as shipped" with the .TOT file (Verizon).

Rooted with IO root on both my G3's. I'll have to try out on the F460 when I get it. I have heard only purple drake works on it so we will see.

You guys try Stump Root?,
Even if it's not listed that it can Root that particular g3 , it can Brute force Root it within minutes. I'm fairly certain though it can already Root it.

Hi,
I've got a wonderful LG G3 running Lollipop.
I was wondering - could I somehow (without root, I guess, as root isn't out for Lollipop yet) put the Helvetica font on my phone, and use that?
I've looked in the SmartWorld app, but none of the fonts in there comes even close.
Hope to get some great response!

Is there any way to root a stock L rom?
No. But this is why you should install a Kitkat kdz, root and then a L Rom. Skin1980 patched also the 20a stock kernel. Look in the G3 Android development thread.

agree it will come but the few weeks thingy (for ALL the goodies ) is quite optimistic considering how long it took for the 3 be able to be unlocked which for me is the main goody. from there anything is possible, without too many limitations are enforced IMO.

How is it?
will try out but may downgrade to 20B again for root purposes in a couple days. who knows, in that time frame there may be a root.

Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
In regards to stump root, have a look at this thread as it may be helpful: [Root] Stump Root for LG Devices (2012 - 2014) Big update 1.2.0
Assuming that you've followed the instructions provided, you may have to double check where you have downloaded the root app from and whether the app is compatible with your phone's current firmware.
Good Luck! - gsstudios

Hi again,
I too don't understand the significance of the 10B/C, but I assume it has something to do with the bootloader (users correct me if I'm wrong). Therefore, if you've updated your firmware, the bootloader can also be changed as well, which means this root method may not work (as it was last updated mid 2014). I don't know how to check the bootloader version as I do not have a LG G3, I hope someone else will be able to help you out with this.

I think it would be better to use this method: [Guide]LG One Click Root - root LG firmwares (KitKat / Lollipop) or this method: [GUIDE][ROOT] Newest Root Method for LG devices. You are on lollipop so stump root will not work.

These apps/methods are to root your device from an unrooted state. If your device was previously rooted, it states that you will have to fully unroot it in SuperSU (in your case, your phone is still unrooted).
