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.

[Q] Please help. (LG G3 Root)

So, I want to root my LG G3 so that I can install Cyanogenmod 12 on it. But the rooting methods online don't seem to work. My phone is running official Android Lollipop (5.0). It was a OTA update. Is it because I updated over the air that I'm not able to root it or something else? Please help me. Thanks.

You really need to search the forum before posting, theres been loads of threads about this, there is no root method currently for lollipop on the lg g3, you have to downgrade to kitkat using one if the firmware files, root kitkat with available methods, install custom recovery and then flash whichever rom you would like.

[Q] lg g3 beat d722k lollipop root?

Anyone successful rooted g3s(beat) d722k lollipop (android 5.0)?

Temproot
Hi, i used LG One Click root and King root. Both work but when you reboot your device, the root access is removed. It might help but .............
For ino, i have a LG G3S D722K 5.0.2

New Method
Hi. Found that link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
Seems it can be done manually, i'm going to try it and hope it works.

Kingroot
In case anyone still can't find a solution. I found only Kingroot would work with my device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=12586
I previously used purpledrake fine on kitkat, but i tried that, lg oneclick, towel root and another one and couldn't find anything to give me a perm root.
The only downside is you need to use Kinguser, instead on superSU or superuser. I know there is a workaround that just didn't work for me.
Now I just have an Xposed incompatibility issue to look into...

Issue with lg g3 beat with lolip 5.0.2
Hello, i rooted with LG One Click (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/lg-g3s-beat-d722-thread-t3110048). Root Checker says:
ROOT ACCESS: Device rooted
SUPER USER: SU FOUND
BUSY BOX: Busy box not installed
and path information, i guess for su
The issue is i can't do nothing else:
Installed supersu but don't update binaries.
And any app that ask for root access do not have it.
Preciate some help (newbi in rooting and so...).
Thank you

Issues Rooting Telus (D852) on 5.0.1

I've spent the entire night trying to root my G3 with Telus firmware on 5.0.1, using just about every method I could find on the net. There doesn't seem to be any way to revert to KitKat as I can only find Rogers and Bell firmware for this model, and every root method I've tried appears to go through fine but RootChecker says it's not rooted. Anyone know what to do?

Which method did you use? The first one with the script or the second one where you manually type in the adb push commands? I'm having a lot of trouble rooting my Koodo G3.

I have a LG G3 D852 from koodo on Android 5.0.1 and the second method worked for me. I'm running windows 10 and I used the LG mobile drivers v3.14.1.

Hello rdjg22,
If you are reading this, I need your help.
I have a Fido D852. I recently downgraded it to Lollipop 5.0.1 (used a Telus KDZ file) and managed to get it rooted.
I can't find a proper way to install TWRP on it.
Your link from the post leads to a File not found page.
If you still have the files you used, can you please share them and explain how you got TWRP on your phone?
Thank you in advance,

Just search the forum and download the AutoRec app for d852 lollipop. That's what his link leads to.

rooting the G3

Been searching high and low to make this work. I have d855 running marshmallow but am in able to root it. Tried several one click ones that has failed (kingroot just ends saying root request and a number just under 30000). Kingoroot doesn't do anything. Iroot I've managed to get the cmd thing to work but not the rooting. Have left the phone with kingroot running to see if this request/adapting thing actually lowers.
Any ideas where I go wrong?

The marshmallow version on the phone may be too new and you may have to downgrade to an older version to root. Which version is currently installed?

6.0 I think the kingoroot page said it could handle it (marshmallow in general)

There are various version of MM so it's important to know the exact version of the phone. Apparently, kingroot can root some early releases of MM based on some threads I saw.

It's an d855 or is there another piece of info you mean?

Look under settings and software information. Marshmallow builds begin with 30x where x is a letter.

I have same problem
Kingroot is not work
V30e-AME-XX

If you can't find a root app that works, a ROM downgrade will be required.

Don't you need to be rooted to do that?

No, root is not needed to downgrade but you'll need to find the correct lollipop ROMs to flash.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64624324&postcount=2

Tried the first option on that thread but I only get update stopped due to an error.
Have tried to install twrp but having problems with adb. I thought the adb kit would be enough to make that work. Any idea what else to try?

Go in general thread and search for root marshmallow 30b that guide helped me root my g3 with kingroot. Tell if i helped

I found (I think) the thread you referred to but it seems to require that you have twrp installed. From reading the twrp website i got the impression you need to be rooted to install twrp? Have tried to load the image file from the SD card but can't find it when I reboot it. Not sure where I go wrong but I cannot get it to work.

You need to downgrade with LGflash tool to v30b and use latest kingroot 5.0. Then kingroot will root your phone and autorec file will flash twrp 2.8.0

Tried to do that (see post above) and it didn't work. No idea why.

Is this the thread we are talking about?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/root-twrp-marshmallow-d855-30b-t3286268

Yes and the one at the bottom of page one which tells you how to downgrade to lollipop. The downgrade does not work for me. It only tells me an error occured. The thread you refer to, I think you said you need to downgrade first and the root which I can't do as the downgrade failed.

Try flashing the file v30b from this video and then see if rooting with kingroot works.

Thanks. I'll try that later today.

Account closed so cannot see the file.
