Maybe if the search on XDA was better I'd use It... A lot of Google stuff was outdated what I found.. Thanks anyway

Hello I have an HTC One M8 from tmobile and I want to root it. I was going to wait until I upgraded to lollipop and then root but from the looks of it, it will take some time until tmobile releases the update. Do you think i should wait until the upgrade and then root? Or should i root then update? How much time do you think it will take for the carriers to release the update?
Thanks in advance

I would think that the update to Lollipop should be hitting us soon. HTC's promise is that the update will be out within 90 days of source code release which was Nov. 4th. Just a few more weeks and we should have it. If you check HTC's software update status site it says that its being integrated, then will need certified and then rollout. The developer/unlocked versions had rollout within a few days of starting certification.
Thanks, so whats the safest method to root the phone? Ive seen an htc quick root tool but is it updated to work with my phone?
Thanks again

I just used fastboot commands since my computer is a Mac and most of the quick tools are meant for windows. I unlocked the bootloader with HTCDev, then installed TWRP then let TWRP root the phone. I then went on to S-Off and flash the GPE RUU and found that I liked Sense better than GPE.
--------------------------------EDIT-------------------------------
I should point out that I am now back to completely stock with S-Off.
I dont know much about rooting but I see people that install cyanogenmod...can I install that? Is it better than the stock m8 OS?

I personally like stock. Cyanogenmod is a AOSP modified ROM and pretty well made based on when I was using it a few years ago. Can't help but expect they've only gotten better. If you move away from a stock sense or a modified sense ROM, you will lose some of the specific features of the phone (proper use of dual lens camera, quick unlock shortcuts, blinkfeed, etc.)

Oh so what can I install if I cant install modified roms? What other advantages i have with root? I know I can have apps like titanium backup and greenify but those things arent that important to me.
Thanks again youve been a great help

Hey folks,
I hope I'm posting this in the right area, but here goes: I got myself an LG G3 back in November, and just recently saw someone with a 5.0 update on their phone. I also learned that we have the update here in Canada, but our amazing phone carriers are holding out on us. So, I would like to ask for help in rooting and updating my phone to the new Rom as I know next to nothing about the process, though I did follow a guide here a few years back The phone was originally a Roger's phone and I unlocked it to work with Virgin. Thanks all.
Any takers?

For installing a new rom (via kdz) you do not need to root your phone.

Really? That's awesome! But I would like to root it and play around with some extra functions so I could learn. What's kdz?
EDIT: I wanna note that I've heard a bit about "stumping" but I know nothing of what it is, so if anyone could shed some light for me, I'd appreciate it.

Hundreds of posts regarding rooting. 5.0
Can't be done. You must revert to kit Kat via kdz or tot. Root. Then install custom recovery and install a "bumped" lollipop rom
I'm already on kitkat atm. Tbh I'm not so hot into the root function, I just want to update the rom if it improves battery life, and utilizes the quad HD better.

I just received my LG G3 today and updated to lollipop, not realising it was basically unrootable. Please tell me there is an option to root or atleast there will be soon? I cannot live without my Viper4Android app!
I can't believe I was so dumb to just install the update without considering the potential issues with rooting.
I updated my Nexus 7 to lollipop and quickly went back to KitKat using the Root Toolkit, so I didn't realise that we were having an issue with rooting lollipop devices. Or I wouldn't have updated at all.
I'm due another LG G3 tomorrow as the original company were out of stock, so I ended up going into the store and picking one up today, and ofcourse the original company just at that moment emailed me to confirm delivery for the following day.... anyway how far away are we from getting a solution... i will need to return one G3 so would it be worth returning the device i updated and keeping the G3 which will likely come shipped with Kitkat? Or will a solution likely be here soon?
Hope this makes sense, I've been up all night trying to root this *******.
Thanks!
Actually u can just install a custom lollipop rom which is already rooted or even install a stock rooted one too , it's up to u which one whould u like to return , for the updated one u can downgrade to kitkat using tot file and then root and get a custom recovery ... And install whatever u want

Hey everyone! I had a question. First off, I came from an HTC One M8 and there was a developer that put this together for that phone. Is there any developer who has (or would be able to put together) a ROM cleaner for completely stock/rooted ROMs? The reason why I ask is because now that 20E is out, maybe a ROM cleaner for someone who doesn't want to flash a custom ROM would be an option. I've been flashing ROMS for about 10 years now and have tried developing, but failed miserably. So, I don't know how to do this.
Just throwing it out there.
Thanks people!!! :thumbup:

I was just looking to have the gapps and LG stuff removed, but didn't know which apps could be frozen/uninstalled in Titanium Backup. I don't use any of the LG apps and the only gapps I use are Gmail and Google Drive. I just wanted it to be a little cleaner. I actually found an LG ROM Debloater in another thread. I'll go find it and post it here.

Thanks i did and i am running 5.o.1 lollipop stock. Everything is running smooth EXCEPT signal which very low, lower than before. The switching between 2 and 3g is terrible. Do i need to flash a baseband? If so where can i get for f240l?

Good Amigo, Im sure you can find what you are looking for somewhere on the LG forums, just type it in. I could not truthfully answer your question.
L signal was very weak. So i flash to f240k20d and the signal is very good. I received an ota update of 16.xmb. Which took me to f240k30e. Everything is working smothly
