Okay, so I have the Sprint LG G2 and I currently have the 4.4.2 update with LS980ZVE and everything I have tried to root my phone has failed. Towel-root says my phone isn't supported, stump-root says my phone is already rooted but its not which is confirmed by root-checker. I have tried iOroot and that failed. Another program failed because of my ADB bull**** and I don't even know how to get it to work on my computer. Could really use some help whether it be downgrading( tried to do by myself with LG Flash tool which also failed ) so anything that could point me in the right direction or tutorials would be great.

Ok so after you use stump root did you restart phone and install SU from the store? This is something that has to be done for you to gain root access.
edit: Use these steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56584296&postcount=153, this is what I did and it worked flawlessly.

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.

Rooted the E version with IOroot, no problem there.

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...

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
So i am trying to get root access to my lg g3 international
i tried using ioroot and it goes well until i am asked to sideload the package
every time i do that i get E: failed package verification error
please help.. how do i fix it ?
Build no: KVT49L.A1404795316
Software version: V10e-AME-XX
I'm not sure if this works on the International version but try Towelroot it takes literally 30 seconds to root. Download the apk and open it and it'll let you know if it rooted it or not. No reboot required.

I'm having the same problem with Towelroot and IOroot on the att varient on my G2. Towelroot is telling me my device isn't supported and Stump Root won't even open. I've been looking around and I can't get any answers either
Hi everyone,
I have D855 INT, version TWN/TAIWAN. v20i officially released in a few days. I flashed v20i kdz file with flash tool, rom is perfect. When I try to root with One Click Root tool or DP Root, DP Tools and SEND_COMMAND script etc. all methods do not works at this time. Is there a way to root v20i? I use both v20h and v20p, I had not any root problems. How you root when you get v20i?
Thanks.

I am not getting error. SU Binary does not installed, so I could not get the root access. I think LG blocked that.
This woreked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/root-g3-pc-kingroot-t3136013
Try several times if you don't get at first
Downgrade first maybe?
I had to downgrade to my carrier's stock ROM for Kitkat and then I was able to root with the methods listed above. Then I could flash a custom recovery with Flashify and flash a nice ROM like Cyanogenmod or something. Proccess took a while as I soft bricked my phone originally haha

Thx a lot, it worked for me (the other solutions didn't work).
It failed the 1st time. After to clean it (clean recent apps), it succeed the 2nd time :good:
Then, you can do this to have SuperSU and to remove Kingroot: http://zidroid.com/how-to-get-ride-and-replace-kinguser-with-supersu-app/
(I confirm that it's ok on my LG G3 32g TWN-v20i)
Help.
Any other effective method to root LG G3 32GB D855 v20i-TWN? I Actually tried every method I could find From one click root to manual and king root. Nothing works with my phone. :crying:
How many times did you try Kingroot? It took me about 5 times to get it to work. You must also be connected to the internet. I have the exact same model and it did work after a few tries.

I tried alot of times more that 10 ans different versions of it the latest one and previous kingroot versions. What happens is that when I try to root my phone it gets stuck on 16-18% then the kingroot app closes when I try to open it again it says it failed.
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,
Underarourjws
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.
Hi. So im having a hard time rooting my g3. Im currently running lolipop 5.0.1 and have been trying to root via qbking77 method with zero luck.
The gui version gives me a "could not open the port" error. I tried the script version, but it was missing the root bat file for some reason and it also failed. I even tried to do it manually and it would not even recognize my device. Please help if you know a work around or a better method.
