Issues rooting - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't root my G3, I've tried IO root, root tool, Purple Drake, towel root.
When flashing in recovery file validation always fails.
I have the LG D855 running Android 4.4.2
Any help would be much appreciated.

Try stump root. It literally took me 5 mins to complete the entire process.
Here is the official thread for stump root.

Rooting help LG G3 S

I recently bought the LG G3 S (model nubmer LG-D722) but have been unable to find a thread on how to root and flash recovery for this device. Will the current root methods and recovery flash methods with recovery .IMG's work and be sufficent for root without bricking my device or is there a guide some where that I have over looked?
I have tried towelroot and stump root but they come with a pop-up saying device is not supported.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
You can root the D722 w/ Purpledrake...

... but AFAIK a Bump version of TWRP isn't available yet for that model.

[Q] Root problems [lg g3]

I rooted my phone using stump root and recently my phone did a weird update out of nowhere that caused my phone to unroot, i tried rooting again with stump and ioroot but neither worked. What can i do to reroot it?
Restore the phone to previous version before update. Then re-root using stump.
Have a great day! from my LG G3

LG G3 All root methods not working

Hey i have the lg g3 ls990 (sprint) running the latest firmware. Ive tried stump root, towel root, Iosroot and purple drake and nothing works. Stump says my device is already rooted (its not), towel root says device not supported, iosroot and purple drake both say error when adb tries to sideload the root. My phone does allow USB debugging and is on PTP. Please help
Downgrade firmware and you will be able to root it
In FAQ topic that is listed in my signature is link for spreadsheet. Check it to see on which version you have to downgrade.

Sometimes the updated firmware doesn't allow root.. You can try this root tool. Read Method 5 of this post. Attached is the root tool. Good luck

XDA Guyz,

Mine is LS980ZVE version
What should I do now. Plz guide me.

Rooting Lollipop but SuperSU doesnt install?

I've tried what seems to be every single exploit available for the G3 to get root. IOroot, PurpleDrake, OneClickRoot both GUI and script and the manual way.
They all seem to complete succesfully but none of them installs SuperSU and when i try Root Checker i get denied.
I have tried KingRoot and it gives me full root, but would rather stay away from it as it seems dodgy and installs unwanted software.
What other options do I have? Downgrade to KitKat?

Yes, a downgrade to kit kat and re-rooting would work if you have the time to do so.
Or you can try kingroot again and then use this guide to replace kingroot with supersu... http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/replace-kingroot-superuser-guide-t3251013
