Couple of weeks ago I rooted my LG G2 using towelroot. Worked fine and was easy. Dropped my phone and had to send it in for a replacement. New phone same Model won't root now. Tried a few different ways. Not to familiar with rooting thou. I rooted my old HTC before. Been trying to root my Sprint Samsung Tab 3 7.0 tablet too without any luck. I'd be able if I could at least get one device rooted.
Tried CyanogenMod, Towelroot, Kingroot and lORoot... All said Device not compatible.
Have not Tried Stump yet.
I'm fine down grading if I can get away with that. Phone worked perfectly fine last week.

Just use stump to root
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Free mobile app
That's my next move. I'm hoping it will work. I only use root to run Super User and xMod.
I now can't find the Thread on that Stump Root....

Thank you very much.. Not used to the Forum yet..
Big thanks to Prime as well for this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g2/general/ls980-zve-ota-zip-update-zvc-zve-t2912488
Hopefully with these I can get back to my xMod'ing...
There appears to be two versions of IOroot out there, one is ioroot.zip (the newest one) and ioroot10.zip (which is older and caused me issues). For ZVC or ZVD builds, ioroot.zip worked for me without issues. I haven't moved to ZVE and probably won't as I'm not running CloudyG3 and I love it to death, I really do, it's simply wonderful to use and I'm already thinking "Damn, if I could just trade up this G2 for a G3..." 'cause it really is a great ROM (it's the G3 stock ROM with a revamped LG UI in case anyone didn't know).
Makes the G2 like a whole new device as far as I'm concerned.
Ok tried to use Stump Root... Stump root installed and opened, but said Device is Rooted...but Root Checker says it's not...

You need install SuperSU from market.
I did...SU says there is No Binary...and wont open...
Not 100 % sure on how to Truly un-root it so I can re-root it with Stump.
I'm guessing since I had it rooted before the LG update this is whats giving me problems now?
yes, only way now is to tot back to 100% stock then try Stump again.
I'm not sure how to TOT yet. I downloaded the file, but haven't opened it yet. I need to find a Video and watch it. I'm at work and all Videos are blocked.
I don't understand how to TOT Back....
I think both my Samsung Tab 3 and my LG G2 both need to be TOT so I can actually root them. I was spoiled with that Towelroot and the one click root... Ive searched and keep reading about TOT, but now how to actually do it step by step.
I'm in the same boat. I have a Sprint LG G2 LS980 with the ZVE software. The most recent update took my root away and now none of the root methods work without doing a TOT to stock. But I cant seem to figure out how to do that.

Stump worked for me after the second time
Use LG flash tool to .tot back. Check the Verizon G2 "Back to Stock" instructions. Follow that except use the LS980 firmware instead of the VS980 one.
Once you get used to it it's really easy.

You need all except the Verizon (VS980) firmware. Replace that with Sprint firmware (LS980).

I unrooted my G3 D855 to get the 10e update (maybe it is the fix for the shutdowns) but when I tried to root it again with Towelroot v1&v3 it's shows a message "This phone isn't currently supported" also IOroot supports only older versions than 10d.
Did someone successfully root their D855v10e ?
If you can't live without root be careful with updating the G3 to 10e and higher.

You only need to downgrade your device again with an earliar kdz if you want to root your device again.
You can use that new root "purple" or whatever its called to root if the other root options fail.
what are the changes in 10E is it worth updating?

It supposed to be for the D851 only. Am I wrong ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There are two versions posted, one is for the D851 that provides a recovery etc, the other is just a root method.
But, what if I don't want to run your script to root?
Well then, I'd be a little hurt, but you can still do everything the script does manually.
Download the package, and extract it. Open a terminal in the main folder of the archive and run these commands:
Code:
adb reboot --bnr_recovery
adb push ./assets/start_restore /temp/start_restore
adb push ./assets/permaroot.bin /temp/start_restore
adb reboot
That will perma-root you, however there's no protection from doing something stupid or the phone being incompatible. Please be careful!

Is it possible to manually install the root with windows ?
Edit: Confirmed working :victory:
I have root installed but when I search an update via lg suite it says 10b is the latest...? (D85510B) [LG D855 HK]
*Update
never mind I got the update today and worked with root being installed (I checked root checker after the update and still rooted)
Nothing in the UK for Three D855
Got mine today from Korea and I need it to be rooted!
Looks like no one has been able to?
The price you pay for being on the bloody edge is that sometimes when you're one of the first to have a new device no one has had the device to develop exploits for it.
You can always feel free to jump in and develop the method and publish it.
Best of luck.
no root yet OP. to dam early for that. what area you live in?
cant wait for USA release. im sure these g4 threads will boom after that
Try the one click root on this post. It rooted my LG G Pad 8. It should work for any LG:

This uses an exploit that does not work on the LG G4 (ability to remount /system as read/write instead of read only).
All of the existing root scripts that I have found execute the command "mount -rw,remount /system".
In earlier LG phones this command was successful. In the LG G4 this command fails (No Permissions) so the older exploits don't work.

You got this to work on the G4?
A few questions for the uninitiated of LG Android. I am not familiar with the LG Android ecosystem, been with Motorola and just got off of Samsung. If I root the G4 now, how will that affect getting OTA updates and installing them? (like if I root would that hinder my ability to get conventional OTA downloads and being able to install them normally? Like if it would set my "status" to "custom".)
I'd REALLY like to be able to uninstall Facebook and Messenger! Would uninstalling them also possibly hinder my ability to get OTA updates and installing them?
Last will I have to worry about voiding my warranty like you would with a Samsung device if you root that and say tripped the knox counter??

As far as I remember, just rooting your phone doesn't take away OTA availability. You'd have to freeze or delete the files that control that process with a root explorer

You definitely want to make sure Ota is blocked , I remember on my rooted and TWRP installed stock G2, when the first Ota came through tons of people almost ended up with bricked phones, thankfully someone found a way around it, but it wasn't looking good for a second., after that I just flashed a modified stock room to eliminate the risk of OTA

You will not root the G4 now. The bootloader is still not unlocked. After that we can expect root to follow. One forum member said the ul bl and root would be available at the same time - but now is not the time.
Also, for the international version that I have - the UK H815, there is an option in settings not to download or install the OTA.

Hi. Found that link:

Seems it can be done manually, i'm going to try it and hope it works.
Kingroot
In case anyone still can't find a solution. I found only Kingroot would work with my device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=12586
I previously used purpledrake fine on kitkat, but i tried that, lg oneclick, towel root and another one and couldn't find anything to give me a perm root.
The only downside is you need to use Kinguser, instead on superSU or superuser. I know there is a workaround that just didn't work for me.
Now I just have an Xposed incompatibility issue to look into...

Hello, i rooted with LG One Click (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/lg-g3s-beat-d722-thread-t3110048). Root Checker says:
ROOT ACCESS: Device rooted
SUPER USER: SU FOUND
BUSY BOX: Busy box not installed
and path information, i guess for su
The issue is i can't do nothing else:
Installed supersu but don't update binaries.
And any app that ask for root access do not have it.
Preciate some help (newbi in rooting and so...).
Thank you

Use kingroot. It will take numerous tries though.
So i am having problems with my LG G3. I recently purchased a Blue LG G3 off ebay for verizon. It works perfectly with verizon and shortly after having it i accidentaly updated it to 5.1. I really wanted to root it but cant find a root tool anywhere that works. I have tried a TON. One of them even bootlooped my phone and about gave me a heart attack
Another thing that is interesting is when i go into firmware update mode down at the bottem is says MODIFIED in red letters... What does this mean? it said this before i tried any root tools. If anyone has any idea of tools i could try id love to know. I tried to downgrade the thing with LGflashtools using TOT and that didnt work. Then i tried kdz and almost bricked my phone. I was using appropiate files for both. Each time i attempt root i get a #fail with everything or it just reboots..
Thanks for any help,

You can use this to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
Be sure that you have ADB enabled, otherwise it won't work.
And you can't do any ota when you are rooted.
Since your phone is running LP, if the above method doesn't work for you, use the first method in this thread...
[GUIDE][ROOT] Newest Root Method for LG devices
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
If the first method doesn't work, the second method in the OP will. If using the second method, download and extract the attached file to the root directory... New_LG_Root_v0.1_by_dig.zip Then open a command prompt from within the extracted directory, and run the posted commands.
