Hey guys I followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2235366
I used a file called "CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.tar"
Everything goes well and I get a green pass from oden3, the phone reboots. But superSU is not installed and when I check "Root checker" there is no root....
I have 4.1.2
Thoughts?
Just download superuser and simply place it on your phones SD card it's really easy

Your phone is not finishing the process it seems. After Odin says pass do you get a big red Android on the screen? If not flash the cf auto root file but uncheck auto reboot in Odin first. Then when it finishes, pull the cable and remove the battery. Reinsert the battery and manually boot to recovery by holding volume up+home+power and it should finish installing root.
I don't know what the post above me is taking about. Installing superuser isn't going to magically give you root. js

It wouldnt brick the phone but if you are seeing the red android then i was mistaken about what your issue is so disregard. Is your phone new? I bet the issue is related to one others are having where recovery cant mount partitions. To confirm that try this. Download this and place on pc http://goo.im/devs/billard412/d2spr/AUTOBOOT_RECOVERY/SPH-L710_TWRP_AUTOBOOT.exe
Its a odin one click that will autoboot you to twrp recovery just open it and click start with your phone connected in download mode.
Download this and place on your sd card. (preferably external)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1584076&d=1356201390
If you can successfully flash that zip, it will root the phone.

You want to press install then hit "up a level" until youre in the root "/" directory. Then choose "external_sdcard" then tap "root.zip" and swipe to confirm at the bottom.

It's basically the same thing. Cf auto root will install a special recovery made by chainfire and a cache.img with a root zip. It's supposed to flash that zip then restore stock recovery. I've never seen cf auto root fail to do the job so im not sure what went wrong.
But the way you did it was you installed your own custom recovery and manually flashed a root zip created by me instead. Only thing different here is that you still have that custom recovery instead of stock recovery now.

Got it man, is this custom recovery better than the stock or is it essentially the same? I plan to install a custom rom soon.
(I didn't find many threads like this on google nor the search tool so hopefully people with the same strange problem as me will now find it. Should be useful)

The custom recovery is the same with the exception that it gives you additional privileges over stock recovery. Like installing custom roms, so if you're planning on a custom rom soon then you may as well just stick with the custom one. I do however recommend you download goo manager from the playstore and updating your recovery to the newest with it before trying to flash anything. The recovery I gave you may be a little outdated. And if for any reason you want stock recovery back I'll make a odin tar of it and place it in this post

Personally I think the chances of your efs going bad are slim and a backup is more for paranoid people. With that said it never hurts to back it up. I just wouldn't restore it unless you have to.

there is no button to uncheck it. it has already downloaded. All I can do is dismiss it for about 5 minutes and it pops back up. I need to find the file and delete it I just don't know where the download is even with root explorer.

If you have TWRP recovery installed, your phone will go into a boot loop when you install the update. So yeah, don't do that. There is a fix around here if you do get in that situation (ask me how I know!).

I got stuck in a boot loop, i was able to find some posted on what to do but i can't copy anything to my phone via adb or when i mount it. I can browse to the phone via Windows, but when i try to copy it says "Cannot copy file_context". Any advise?
I saw one post that said to try some commands using Terminal Command but when i click that it doesn't give me an interface just files.

Hey folks, I recently rooted my LG G3 D850 earlier this week on Lollipop stock. When I go to the Flashify app, recovery image, choose a file, twrp.2.8.0_d850-signed.img, and try to flash it from there, it says error on the screen, and my led light keeps flashing in different colors. Thankfully, I can pull the battery out, and turn it back on to normal. Any help? Thank you.

here dude use this method to downgrade your bootloader to the kk version and your download mode partition to kk and then flash the modded boot.img so your phone can boot again with the kk partitions. i have a d850 and this worked perfectly i ran the commands using a terminal emulator and then i pulled the battery out for it to boot again (and you have to keep doing this for some reason) http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966129 without doing this you'll keep getting the boot error and the flashing led's. make sure you follow the instructions carefully, good luck!
Can anyone please give me any helpers on the easiest way to Root and install TWRP on my H815, Im in the UK and Im running MM 20a official rom.
I have rooted other phones but not this is a new phone and isn't as straight forward as my G2 was.
Thanks in advance.

When i had my G2, the forums was buzzing with new Roms, it was pretty much a bullet proof phone, i was hoping for the same with the G4, pretty gutted that its so quiet in these forums for this phone.

Hope your TWRP sticks, I'm new to this and it took me 3 attempts to get it to stick.
To get into recovery
Hold both power button and volume down button pressed
At first sight of LG logo release power button 1 second, Still holding volume down, then repress power button.
You should now get white screen with just 2 options, select "Reset" , Select with Power button, scroll with volume up/down
Again get white screen and confirm reset
If TWRP is on phone it should now appear.
If its not you are in for a Factory Reset
:
Now do a default backup in TWRP (very handy this)
Then move systemless root zip to phone.
In twrp select install find your "systemless root zip " flash , then reboot using "System" DO not accept option to root your phone offered after selecting- reboot>system.
Hope its goes well

I am on the same boat as OP. I unlocked the bootloader after updating to Marshmallow, so I didn't have TWRP from Lollipop. Now, even though it says that the flashing went okay, there is no recovery to boot into. Using "adb reboot recovery" it shows the android logo with the exclamation mark. If I do it using the hardware buttons, I get the LG's menu to wipe everything or exit.

If you have root there are many apps on play store such as : quick boot, simple boot, quick reboot. Install one of these and and they all all have options for reboot, hotboot, boot to recovery, etc. etc.
I have TWRP on my phone and if I use the standard way to enter recovery , power+volume down, then I will get the standard LG recovery screen but when I accept the recovery options there, it takes me to TWRP

@ Dante897 No, if you don't have TWRP then don't. don't say yes to LG Recovery or you'll loose everything . You can also run TWRP on your PC and install systemless root zip that way. That maybe what I did, I can't exactly remember now.
I'm off to bed now, last night was a late night too.
I figured it out. You aren't supposed to flash the recovery., you are supposed to boot to it, flash SuperSU and then use Flashify to install TWRP. I did that, but I flashed the wrong SuperSU (I am an idiot I know) and my phone won't boot now. Currently I am in download mode and downloading the rom with LG Bridge . You can follow the guide here if you want http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-root-t3128241 but whatever you do DO NOT flash SuperSU 2.46, grab the newest from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3
I cannot say that it will work, all I can tell you is that 2.46 certainly doesn't work.
EDIT: Alright, I let LG Bridge install the update, no wipe happened. I did the process again, this time I flashed SuperSU v2.62-3 and everything went well and my phone is now rooted.

I also had an issue with TWRP sticking. I followed someone else's tip and you have to have the twrp IMG saved on your computer and also on the phone before flashing recovery with fastboot.

I bought my 5X in October and came here to root my phone and be able to use the ElementalX and the Advanced Interactive Governor tweaks.
Everything was working fine and my phone really performed outstandingly.
Then I saw the OTA 7.1.1. popping up. I didn't allow it until I installed it by mistake yesterday...
Now I'm stuck with google asking me to lock the bootloader.
I can access the bootloader. I get a lot of options.
I can access the recovery mode and it gets me to RecoveryProject 3.0.2-2 by Teamwin.
I already have the Android platform tools on my desktop and it's working.
From there I have 2 questions :
1. Is there a way to not wipe all the contents on my phone? I didn't get the chance to backup all the data on it.
2. After that how can I get my phone working with the latest android version as I was before, unrooted and running with EX Kernel Manager.
Thanks for your help.
1. try installing the supersu zip from the recovery
2.EX Kernel Manager cannot work without root. so you need to root your device
Thanks a lot for you answer!
1. So by installing SuperSu zip from the recovery I would be able to backup my phone data?
2. I meant rooted sorry. So my phone is already rooted and I'm fine with staying that way.

yes
you can actually backup you device from TWRP recovery.
flash the supersu zip and you will boot normally without any data lose
Insane! thanks a lot.
One more noob question. I got the latest superSu zip.
How can I flash it from the recovery?
How can i transfer it to the phone?
Ok I almost got it.
My only question left is how can I transfer the SuperSu zip file onto my phone since I don't have access to anything else than Bootloader and TWRP

adb sideload from twrp
OK guys thanks. When I use adb sideload in twrp advanced menu it gets stuck on "Starting ADB sideload feature... "
And when I type ADB devices on the command prompt it does not show my device but if I'm just in the menu before sideload it does find my device and says the serial number + recovery.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for helping.
You should be able to transfer files while being in recovery using MTP mode.
How do I use MTP mode? Sorry what does that mean. Can't find an explanation on the internet.
I've looked at all the options in the menu but can't find such a option.
I really feel stupid.
Ok guys I transfered SuperSu to my phone using adb push.
I flashed my phone with SuperSu but when i reboot my phone, it still tells me I need to lock my bootloader.
What shall I do now?
I keep going to the Googl screen with the little locker and then I reach the No Command screen.
The phone won't boot into Android no more. Guys please help I'm desperate. Is my phone dead?
Ok so I guess my phone is now in bootloop.
Still anyone willing to help?
OK I tried many things in despair and now I cannot enter the recovery mode anymore. It just gets stuck on the teamwin screen.
Guess it's time to buy a new phone.
So miracle I could enter the recovery.
Now I don't know where to go. I would like to be able to enter normal android but my phone will keep on showing android screen with little lock and the end on the No command screen. Endlessly.
Ok. THread can be closed. I managed to flash a factory image. Lost all my data but I got a working phone so I guess it's not to bad.
