[Q] Towellroot safe?

Greetings,
Is this a safe method to root my G3 international version (32Gb)? Is it temporarly or permantly?
Also, will I still be able to receive OTA updates with this root?
Thanks!

You will most likely need to unroot to take an OTA. I updated with root on my F460S (it shouldn't have let me do it) but that was a fluke. If you need to take an OTA then you will have to use SU to unroot and then update-> root again. Just make sure the new OTA is still rootable. Rooting it's safe if you know what you are doing. I have used IORoot, and StumpRoot without issues.

hmm
Ok and won't my root dissapear if I reboot the device? (with the towellroot method?)
Because, I heard an youtube video, that said you don't need to reboot ur device once you run the apk to root...

It means you dont have to reboot after installing towel root.
It does mean you cant OTA after root generally any method period.
It doesnt mean you cant reboot after towelroot. Root will be there after reboot.
Confusing? Your post too.
please hit thanks if i helped in any way. send from my g3 d852 beast

Sorry. I was doing the towelroot method and it said my device isnt supported? Which method shall I use? I'm using international version 32Gb..

Purple drake i think its called.
It in the g3 development section.
To be honest: i have this phone for a month now and never had the need to root it. All my other phones were rooted same day or when available.

Verizon OTA 11C

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

At&t D85010F Update and Stump Root?

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

LG G3 Gold is not updating

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.

so the phone you currently have doesn't have root access?

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

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.

I think I will end up doing that and putting on lollipop on the phone, but I haven't been able to find instructions that I could understand.........I don't want to mess up and brick my phone.

How to root lg g3 d851 marshmellow 6.0

I've had my phone for about a year now. Bought it unlocked as a tmobile phone then switched it to AT&T. Yesterday I decided to root. I first tried Kingroot which was a failure. Next I tried one click root. All went well until installing ADB drivers which it then said there's no method for my phone. I don't trust any random google search method so I'm wanting to know if there is an actual way or if I'm really stuck not being able to root?

An alternate method of rooting is to rollback to lollipop then rooting that. But it also depends on the revision of the main board. Later revisions are booby trapped against rollback.

Yes mine is the same! I just got an update last night, wonder if that changed that. I can't find rollback methods either. Only for the d855. I always have problems when it's something I'd really like to persue haha

Not yo worry..... Someone will sure find a solution for it.... Although this update has some problems....
Wifi signals are not stable.... And 4g as well.....
Performance according to the benchmarks is decreased..... On youtube GEEKBENCH shows approximate 950 single core and 2800 multicore....
But on my device it is around 600 and 1600 respectively.......
---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ----------
Looking for alternative methods like towel root etc....
King root and frama root are not witking with it.....
But hope that kingroot wil get an option soon..
Anyone tried a method on described on youtube??
They have done it there with one click root pc application!

I downloaded the 30D firmware and manually flashed my phone the new E to the previous 30D and it worked no problem Although I did have to restore my apps, etc. I had everything backed up with TruBackup and GCloud. I then rooted again temporarily, installed TWRP and TWRP manager, rebooted to TWRP installed SuperSU there.......and phone was rooted and working great again with 30D

Did you use Kingroot or something else to temp root ? I'm having an issue with Kingroot and looking for another way to root.

I went through the process like 4 times until I finally got it right. The last time, I had trouble with KR getting root. I could be wrong, but it seemed like disabling Lookout app before running KR helped.

Thanks. I'm having problems with KR getting root also but will disable Lookout and see if that helps.

I too am having a heck of a time getting this G3 D851 rooted. I had KingRoot temproot working, tried to install Super SU via playstore to get perm root, but installer said was a conflict with another rooting app, and failed. I have tried like 5 different methods, none of them are working. Phone is currently on 30d via OTA. I rooted the wife's G3 TMo last year easily, so not sure why this same phone is havign such issues. Can anyone explain how best to use KingRoot & then get perm root? Soon I will have no hair left! :crying:

i am on 85130d. temp rooted with kingroot, used flashify to twrp, booted to twrp flashed auto repack, then flashed superuser zip. phone has been on lg screen trying to boot for about 15 minutes now. what did i do wrong??
