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.

Hi Folks, I got my N7105 a couple a days ago, and would like to root it, I dit that stuff before whit my I9000, flashed several custom roms
and never had any issues. Now, they more I read about rooting my new divice, they more confused I get,
I just want to root so I can use Titanium Bakup and other apps, I wont flash some custom rom's just yet, in case there is a hardware problem
and I have to use the warranty, and there is nowhere a stock rom for my carrier, Testra Australia, to find.
So, that is what I intend to do: root by using this methode: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955423 using opion 2,
maby later install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028103
I know there is always a risk in doing stuff like this, but do I have to fear that my IEMI could get lost or somthing like that ?
Is it possible to make IMEI backup befor rooting ?
Thanks
sorry for my bad english...
Sv: Confused about rooting
Wrong forum.
Anyway... Use part two, then before flashing anything else http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946915 This is the only way for our phones to do a efs backup.

if youre not comfortable yet on rooting your phone then stick with stock first. this is the common reason why people are having bigtime problems with their phones when they do root and not that comfortable at it..
Thanks for your advise, I feel more comfortable... I know there is a wery low risk in rooting.. but you never know...
I will give it a go....

HI
I just bought me the g pad 8.3 (updated to kitkat) and asking myself how far Im going with costum-ROMs, rooting etc.
From my Galaxy S2 I know, that costum ROMs are a good choice, but with that old smartphone I had no concerns about warranty.
With my G Pad I now asking myself if I only root, or if Im going to flash a costum ROM on it. I really need the xposed framework and some apps with root,......so perhaps xposed will be enough to add some mods.
Im just a little bit concerned about warranty issues so can someone plz tell me what I have to watch out for to not void it ?
In case I have to use warranty I could simple unroot and factory reset ? Or should I flash back orginalimage I backed up before ?
How is it if I use ROMs?,.......from my galaxy S2 I remember that you had to watch out to not increase the flashcounter, etc
Can someone plz kill be concerns by updating my knowledge about this.
thx 4 any help.

I know the question sounds a bit general,....
...but it would really help me if someone can tell me a safe way, how I can first backup the stock image, so I can reflash, after rooting,etc, then turning back the device for warranty.
any tips are welcome
thx revnu

You can't root or flash ROMs without voiding warranty, but you can restore it with the LG software and then your warranty is back.

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.
Hi I'm hoping somebody here can help me. I just bought a new LG G3 & upon further inspection of the Phone I noticed an app installed called SuperSU. I did a little digging & it turns out this Phone is rooted. I don't want to lose my Warranty or OTA updates from T-Mobile so can somebody please walk me through the steps to remove this & start fresh from stock T-Mobile Phone please.
I'm not the best at this kind of stuff so I'll need a very nice person to walk me through this or if you have a video with clear instructions. Please & Thank you.

This is the best way I know of going back to stock.

Use either the KDZ or TOT method.
There is no "easy" one-click method and you are at risk of bricking your phone.
You can also try the LG Mobile Support Tool
This page is pretty easy to follow and is what I always use when refreshing my phone.

Good luck!

this cant be a "new phone" if Superuser was installed and its rooted
Having root doesn't void the warranty. Furthermore, by buying off somebody instead of a tmo rep, you already don't even have a warranty, unless Tue guy you bought it off still has one one it currently.
Hello everyone,
I have bought a LG G3 T-Mobile D851. I want to remove pre installed T-Mobile apps from my phone. I am new in Flashing/boot loader. Can anyone guide me how to do it?
I want to make my phone clean from useless apps.
Awaiting for your responses.
Thank you
Arfarsh
Best way is to root your phone & install a custom ROM without all the bloatware TMo put in. Plenty of how-tos in this forum, you need to spend some time & search & you will find what you need.
