Can anyone let me know if there is a rooted lollipop rom for the korean models (k/l/s)
i have a lollipop rom but it isn't rooted and once loaded it's impossible to root with the normal recovery mode.
(all other reboot into recovery need root- vicious circle need root to load recovery and need recovery to flash root)
i'll be grateful if someone can lead me to a way to upgrade to lollipop without losing root
sincerely

well the title says it, is it possible to flash a rooted lollipop rom w/o already being rooted?
i made the mistake of flashing the KDZ lollipop rom and now i cannot root it cause it is not available and cannot flash rooted lollipop roms since they all seem to require root prior to installation.
so is it possible to flash a rooted rom from windows if the phone is not rooted?
thanks in advance for any help and guide. cheers

-root and custom recovery
-flash the rooted lollipop rom

Hello guys, i was wondering since I've made the 5.0 update (european) if it was possible for me to flash a custom rom like cyanogen without root (because root isn't an option since llp) ?

After flashing a ROM, flash SuperSu 2.4 to get root.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
But how do I flash without root ?
It's noobish question, i can't get to recovery, I've tried with the Power and vol down keys, all i can get is a menu to erase my data, thats it.
Firsh backup your data. Then go back to EU stock ROM:
here are the stock ROMs: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G3%2FStock%2F
how to go back to your stock ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
Now you can root your LG G3, use TWRP/CWM custom recovery and flash custom ROM.

Thank you, I hoped there was another way, i will downgrade then, thanks.
maybe there is. Im not pro neither I received OTA for 5.0, but I wanted to have my LG rooted, so I had to downgrade and now I am running AN HD.
Hey guys,
I just bought a 2nd hand phone online and the previous owner is not a tech savvy one, he updated the phone's software to 4.4.4 but did not root/unlock bootloader. I currently just managed to unlocked the bootloader, and now im stuck with a phone running 4.4.4 with no root nor recovery. Before you guys advise me to search the forums, i did and the rooting methods are either fixed, requires a bootloader to flash kernels/superuser, or vice versa (requires root to flash recovery)
I have been looking all around the forums to no avail, any help would be appreciate.
Thanks
Since u have a UB try flashing this recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2599619.
You have to flash offical 4.2 rom and root and install recovery than flash a custom or kernel 4.4
Can you not revert to previous stock version then use towel root. When I bought my phone it had ICS 4.2, used towel root then let phone update manually. Root was kept and I now have 4.4.4..
Hi guys,
I'm not sure exactly where to look for the steps because I'm in a unique situation or atleast I think I am. I need help on installing the LOLLIPOP firmware (N900TUVUFOB6) with a custom recovery and root. I am currently on a rooted note 3 v4.3 with the N900TUVUBMI7 baseband version.do I need to update my bootloader to a newer version? Should I atleast do a stock update to 4.4? Should I be using which custom recovery?
If I'm correct, I can't just flash the latest custom recovery and then flash the newest lollipop (for example the newest TEKHD like this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672393
Or can I? What If I just did a normal software update to upgrade me to lollipop, will the bootloader be blocked, disabling me from installing a custom recovery since I would want to root as well. And then would I be able to resume the steps from TEKHD instruction?
Thanks!
Hi guys
I m new here, i dont know much about this stuff.
So i have lg g3 d851 t mobile version which is previously unlocked (i dont know which tool was used). The problem is the phone lack some base app like radio and update center ect and its unstable, so i want to flash it.
Phone statue:
+ android version 4.4.2
+ rooted
+unlocked
+bloatloader i think locked
+stock recovery
My question is
Can i install costom rom without losing the unlock? If no can i install stock rom like 5.1 or even 6.0? do i need install 5.1 before 6.0 ?
Pls help
The bootloader isn't unlockable per se. You obtain a custom recovery by downgrading to an earlier android version with vulnerabilities you can exploit to obtain root access. Then you use the root access to flash a custom recovery. You can do whatever you want (whether it be flashing a custom ROM or a stock ROM through lgup), you can always re-root. You'll never lose the unlock since technically it doesn't exist.
With that said, since the phone already has root, you can flash twrp recovery using terminal or adb and flashing any ROM from there. You can also flash the latest stock ROM on a PC using LGUP or lg flashtool or in recovery using the stock ROM by mesa.
Read through the guides here and decide what exactly you want to do based on your preferences. You can always re root if you lose it in the process.
As a side note, there's no radio app for this model as there's no FM transmitter in this device.
Hope this helps.
