Hi everyone.
I have the D855 model of G3 with 4.4.2 (KitKat) stock version installed without root. Yesterday, I receive the notification of update to lollipop but I haven't done it yet.
I pretend to root the lollipop version (or at least, wait for a method to root, because there is no way yet, right?). What's the best procedure to do it?
a. Update to lollipop and wait a method to root it?
b. Backup my actual version before update so, in case of not exist a root method to lollipop, I can restore KitKat, root it and them install a root version of Lollipop (if so, how I can make this backup since I don't have root?) ?
c. Root now, make a backup and them remove root to update by OTA or install a rooted version of lollipop?
Thanks in advance.

"plz i want to know why i can't root it "
BEcause there isn't a root method available for 5.0 as of now.
"and when android 5.0 will have root access" " if it will be rooted after a while or not ???"
We don't know
If you want root, you either wait till a root method is available for 5.0, or you use Kitkat, or when you're on kitkat you root and install TWRP and after you've installed TWRP install one of the many custom lollipop roms which include root.

The fastest solution is to downgrade to KitKat, root, install prerooted version of lollipop.
hey all,
My LG G3 D855 just got a new update found... V20F. I have 100% stock KitKat right now, V10o build, and its ROOTED.
If I do the software update automatically, will I lose root? Do I have to do anything like this whole bump thing etc? I just want Rooted V20F (Lollipop) and eventually I may put a rom on it... Am I ok? Or should I do something first?
thanks
If you want rooted Lollipop then dont do the update.
Flash TWRP and flash some prerooted Lollipop rom. That is the only way to have rooted Lollipop.
Hi guys,
I just picked up my G3 D85110m from T-Mo. I have a notification for a System Update ( I presume Lollipop) which I have not done.
I see that I can root using PurpleDrake-Lite and stay on KK or go to an L Rom.
I can also it seems update and then get root using this new method for rooting Lollipop.
Is there an advantage or disadvantage to either route?
Thanks for any feed back you can give.

Since it's on 10m, it's a safe bet that the update is to 10r which is not the Lollipop update we are all impatiently waiting on. You can root however you want but it's easier to root 10m and install a custom recovery and then flash the files for 10r in recovery.

Thank you for the reply. I will probably then use PurpleDrake and then Flashify to install TWRP before proceeding to install 10r files or another ROM.

Hi my friends, I am looking for a STOCK RECOVERY for my LG G Pad F 8.0 AT&T (V495). I was trying to do an OTA upgrade to 6 but after the Download and restart the installation is giving me an error because i am ROOTED. I need to flash stock recovery to be able to install new OTA upgrade to Marshmallow 6. Is someone have a 5.0.2 STOCK Recovery or maybe another idea on how can I do and upgrade to Marshmallow 6 I will appreciate any help. Thanks
Is there a KDZ or TOT available for your variant?
I am in the same boat. I can not find the stock rom anywhere. I would like to upgrade to to 6.0. I am rooted with king root. If the stock rom is not found is there a way to unroot and delete all root files so the update does not detect the root so we can update?

In order to take OTAs (starting with Lollipop) you have to never have been rooted (since the most recent time you've flashed a KDZ or TOT).
Unrooting isn't enough.
I am stock rooted right now on 5.1 but want to update to Marshmallow.
What is the easiest method for this?
I did this method originally while on 5.1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3066720
I was going to restore my stock system backup in TWRP and then do the OTA and then do the above procedure again to obtain root.
I wasn't sure if I had to go through this same exact procedure again to go from root in 5.1 to root in Marshmallow or if things have changed.
TIA

Just use the latest ruu. Doesn't wipe. Flash twrp and supersu afterwards to RE root
