Hey guys, I just got a brandy new LG G3, coming from my p.o.s G2 with touchscreen issues.
I got pushed the updated as soon as the phone came on. I let it go through. I wanted to root using stump, however it says it can try to root it by using Bruteforce. I have done some searches but couldn't find anyone running D85010F and rooting for the first time by stump root? I would be curious to know if anyone has tried this, or thinks it will work. I guess the worst thing is a boot loop? I could just factory reset?
Just an FYI, I don't want custom recovery, just root and xposed.. But some of the roms look greatttttt. :silly:
Any help is appreciated!
I did it using Bruteforce. No problems. Just took longer

Has anyone done the OTA update from verizon?
I expect that I will lose root, but can I get it back the same way I did with 10B?
Dont do it.
I got my G3 about 4 days ago, and i immediately updated it. I think i found a way to flash back to 10b so i can root. As of now, i am unable to root with stomproot, ioroot, and purpledrake (or whatever its called). I have no idea what would happen if a rooted g3 with 10b upgraded to 11c.
Maybe towel root would work

Towel root didn't work for 10b

Please refer to your Verizon G3 forums - http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general. There are several threads there that talk about the OTA update, why it is not good to take OTA updates, and luckily for you a method for getting back to 10b.
Consider yourself lucky. There is no guarantee that you will be able to downgrade after taking an OTA update. Blindly taking updates is a great way to loose root and bump in the future.
Almost every thread that shows you how to root and bump tells you to not take updates, c'mon guys they are telling you to protect your device.

Not lucky, I know to ask first, hence this thread.
I didnt realize how for the community has come on custom flashing since I got my phone and rooted it. Definitely need to spend some time seeing what we got.
I did the update last night. I can confirm that the update did not remove my root and in fact the update only was to make the phone run more smoothly.

It didn't remove root, but it is currently unrootable. This means that if you should loose root somehow, you will not be able to get it back. I HIGHLY suggest you go to the Verizon G3 forum and read all the threads there. You can get all the benefits of the update without loosing the root method via the methods there.
I don't know how many times this has been said, but apparently there are still a ton of dumb people out there.......
NEVER TAKE AN OTA UPDATE IF YOU LIKE BEING ROOTED OR IF YOU EXPECT TO RETAIN THE ABILITY TO BUMP

Hello,
This is my first time using any LG product having Android. I bought LG G2 LS980 (LS980VSE) with 4.4.2 from a local shop in Pakistan. I am new to LG so please help me out in multiple issues I am having.
1) First of all, I get Hands free Activation Notice every time. What is it and how do get rid of it? I did look for a solution and it told me to rename a certain apk file. I am unable to do as I am not able to root the device. I will mention it later.
w
2) I am not getting an option to Import Sim contacts. I can make calls or receive them but there is no option to import/export contacts from sim card. Could it be related to hands free activation?
3) As I mentioned earlier, I am unable to root my device. I looked for solutions and tried different methods...none worked. I tried STump root. It says I am rooted but I am not. Towel root does not support as it says. And ioroot fails in signature vitrifaction.
Please help me solve these issues.
Regards.
Same here buddy can't root lg g2 ls980
tot your phone back then run stump
Yeah stump worked for me on LS980VSE. I reset before running it. I would just suggest resetting and running stump. However, first try downloading any new release of stumproot. Sorry if I'm no help but it worked for me on 4.4.2. If it does work be sure to run autorec for your recovery it's designed for the G2 specifically.
I got root working by downgrading to ZVC. After that I able to take care for Hands Free Activation issue.
A question, can I go back to ZVE and have it rooted?
Any root or such breaks ota and bricks phone.

Even if you would lose root going back to ZVE stump worked on it.

If you installed autorec you can backup just to try it gives you the option to reapair superuser. I'm not sure if anyone has tried but maybe you can use adb to drop supersu on ZVE, I just find it strange stump root worked for me I did have to run it a couple times to succeed.

You must fully unroot first, then take ZVE, then re-root with stump.
My V410 received an OTA to 5.0.2 about 2 weeks ago. Tried to root several times since, all without success. Towelroot, Purpledrake, LG One Click Root (v1.3), LG Root Script (v1.2) and LG Root all fail. I even tried SuperOneClick, without success. I have never had this much difficulty rooting any Android device!
Am I missing something? Maybe I skipped a step? Windows 7 Pro 64-bit desktop PC, with ADB installed and working, so my OS isn't blocking me.
Android version: 5.0.2
Kernal version: 3.4.0+
Build number: LRX22G
Software version: V41020b
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I am all ears!

I'm having the exact same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is my exact issue too. I rooted my v410 and then it decided to update to 5.0.2 and now it's unrooted and not vulnerable. After hours each night of searching and searching is the short answer it's stuck where it's at? Every fix requires a rooted device and once on lollipop it won't root...
Edit: Also, hi everyone. This is my first post to this forum as a new member in attempts to customize my first android device.
LG gpad 7 v410 v20b:
I'm having the same issue.
For me, Purpledrake quits unexpectedly right after the tablet has rebooted once. Then the tablet reboots again.
Anyone know why?
Purpledrake ran on a Mac does the same but the term window stays up and it reads something to the tune of the phone not being vulnerable and basically putting everything back the way it found it.

Same problem here! Tried everything! Has anyone came up with a solution?
Any Solution guys?
Make sure both of these are set correctly. I struggled for a couple of days while trying root my v410, then realized it was #2 the whole time that was stopping my progress......

Purple Drake works for stock Kit Kat not for stock lollipop.
I stupidly tried to update mine to lollipop and now I appear not to be rooted and purple drake fails. I think the twrp recovery I had installed before is blocking it cause it fails when twrp logo appears at reboot (instead of AT&T logo). Is there another way to root an LG G-pad 7.0 v410 or find what's blocking purple drake?
EDIT: Actually it is ok now, rooted. Is there a way to install the new system update on a rooted tablet?

Correct, guess I should have reiterated that as well, as I assumed we all are experienced.

I'm not man. Honestly my entire ecosystem is Mac and iOS. I changed up my plan at AT$T and they were like:
"It comes with a tablet."
"I don't need a tablet."
"But it's free with the plan."
"Yeah but I don't need a tablet."
"But... it comes... ... with the plan..."
"Okay, give me the damn tablet."
"Great! We're out at the moment so we'll have to send it to you in the mail and sign here acknowledging you're aware that it has a new separate line for $10 a month."
Eventually I started using it and thought it would be good for when I'm out on the road on bidness and wanted to unlock all the supernatural phenomenal marvels that is Android. Nah man, AT$T's got this thing on lock down. I would upgrade to a different tab but dollars.

This not work with Lollipop only KK
No luck. My tablet will not root. I tried Purpledrake regular and lite. I used a new USB cable, I plugged it directly into the motherboard, and I ran both progs many times. I have de-bugging and MTP enabled. I have ADB installed, and I crossed my fingers. Purpledrake just quits unexpectedly. I hope someone figures out how to root this tablet. I'd put up some cash for a working root. Anyone else?
Stupid google. Whatever happened to "Don't Be Evil"?
Purple Drake doesn't necessarily quit unexpectedly, the window just closes before you get a chance to read the message. It basically says that the phone is not vulnerable and it can't continue and has replaced everything it changed and then closes and vanishes into the dark.
Has anyone tried rolling back the Android update?
I mean: restore to factory settings, turn off OTA and then root?

It's not Google's fault. AT$T requested that the bootloader be locked by LG and it's not advantageous for Google in any way to intentionally introduce bugs in the kernel that will allow for privilege escalation.
The reason that PurpleDrake is quitting is because it is executing the root script and not waiting for it to finish. Basically it is not checking for errors and just assuming that it worked. If you run the root script by hand (which is what PD does for you) then the script fails to escalate privileges and a root shell is not attained. PurpleDrake is only a wrapper for the root script.

Restoring to factory settings will only wipe the /data partition; it has no effect on the /system partition. I've been scouring the web for weeks and have not found a workable solution. There's a good chance that if you were somehow able to roll back to a KK image then the bootloader would fail to load the kernel.
When I get some time, I plan to try to try dumping the system image, manually injecting root goodies, and finding some way to flash that image back. It may or may not brick the device.
Has anyone tried any of these methods? http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197

Yes I tried and no works
So if we want root, we roll back to KK?
I have a LG G3 D851 Gold that is stuck on android 4.4.2 (software version: D85110c). It tries to do an OTA update however when it tries installing it it fails halfway through and just reboots and most of the time it says the software is up to date. I tired the LG Mobile Support Tool; when I use that it says I have an update available for a few seconds and then it says my phone is up to date. I called LG, T-Mobile, and Google and they all just blamed the problem on someone else and wouldn't help me.
Any ideas? I have never rooted or flashed a phone before so I don't want do that if I don't have to.

No, it's not rooted. I've never rooted a phone before so even doing that would be a new thing for me.

while taking an official download you can't have root access or it'll throw you into a bootloop. In my opinion you should root so you can really customize your phone and get some pretty cool apps. If you're on kitkat there's this one click root app you can use and it's very easy,probably take you 20 minutes to get root access and install SU app.

Hi folks.
Been lurking for a while, but this is my first post.
I've been looking into rooting my SM-G870W (Galaxy S5 Active, Canadian, Telus) for a while now. It's currently updated to Android 6.0.1.
I've read a lot of different information and I've held off on actually trying it because of several posters saying they've bricked their phone or had no luck.
To the best of my knowledge and research, there is no "plug and play" app or program that will root automatically. Is this accurate?
I have read of manual recommendations or guides that say they work.
This site, being the foremost authority as far as I'm concerned, is my last step in research.
Can anyone please advise if this is possible for this phone and version?
If so, is there an existing guide that is reputable that I could follow?
I thank you in advance.
A little late to post. But I am having no luck rooting my SM-870W on Telus. I used Odin and the CF-Auto-Root-kltecanactive-kltevlactive-smg870w for Marshmallow 6.0.1
I just end up with "Recovery is SeAndroid enforcing"
I then have to flash back the stock rom
Tomorrow when I have time, I am going to downgrade back to Lollipop to root it. If successful, then I will use Flashfire to update to Marshmallow 6.0.1 and see how that goes.
Well so far I successfully downgraded my phone back to Lollipop and rerooted it. . Tomorrow or next week will try updating with flashfire
I tried again to root marshmallow using flashfire, and it boot looped. So just going to stay on Lollipop and keep rooted. Will probably upgrade phone soon anyway. I don't know how others on youtube etc say they have done it, but it's not working for me.
Thanks for posting
I too have the same model phone and I'm running into the exact same issue you are. Thanks for posting which lets me know I'm not the only one facing this problem
