I am currently using Lollipop V20A (polish) on my D855 32GB variant. I never unlocked or rooted my phone.
I saw that overheating and oversharpening fix were made by our beloved XDA developers and I would like to root my phone so I can install that but I'm not sure if I can.
Can I still unlock and root if I downgrade from Lollipop to KitKat via KDZ flash, and if I can, could anybody give me easiest and best links to do the unlock and root.
Thanks in advance
Anybody?

Yes you can. Just downgrade to Kitkat and then root.
In general section you have tutorial on how to get back to stock.

Hi guys just after some info. What is the difference between rooting and unlocking the bootloader on the LG G3.
Also do you have to have the bootloader unlocked to install the various stock roms kicking about on the forum , if not why not.
Thanks for the information just after understanding how this stuff works. Many thanks
Rooting basically let's you modify the system files anyway you want where as the boot loader is there to stop the loading of custom ROMs essentially as long as you rooted and bumped the device flashing twrp you can flash any custom rom but I think you need the kk bootloader not the new lollipop one

Yes. The Lollipop aboot is going to break the current "Bump!" method of getting custom ROMs on. However, the devs will likely bypass that, just don't take an OTA before it's cleared on here (likely won't be).

Yes. the lollipop one is more picky about what ROMs it will start, and I believe it has the Bump exploit fixed.
Hello, yesterday I had rooted LG G3 with Cloudy G3 and TWRP Recovery installed. But I "flashed" Stock Firmware (KDZ) 21A Europe (IMEI CHECK) And now I cant root my mobile successfully, It means if i want root i must go back to like 20T and other versions?
EDIT: Rooted with KingRoot and TWRP recovery flashed with LG G3 Auto-rec Lollipop app from GP.
Try to root using the first method in this thread...

If the first method doesn't work for you, then attempt to root using the second method.

you don't need a computer to root, it's easy! Just download king root it's an app
I'm surprised Kingroot worked so well.

One way is using kingoroot, then install SuperSU thru play store and make it install normally, then get autorec for mm and reboot to recovery

So, am I out of luck?? Is there any other way to get TWRP Recovery onto my G3 apart from downgrading to Lolipop?
