I've recently bought the lg g3 unlocked from Amazon in the UK. I updated it to official lollipop not knowing it would unable me to root it. Now I'm looking to downgrade to kit kat in order to root it with purpledrake, install TWRP and the Cyanogenmod 12. My problem is I don't know exactly what firmware to install. The only information I have about the phone is that it is the D855 16GB and that its software version is "V20f-EUR-XX". If some one could point out the kit kat version to be installed and any problem with my plan I would be very grateful. Thank you

Thank you very much! Should I simply flash with the LG Flash Tool 2014 tool?
Yes. You will have to use CSE flash

Hello,
even though I purchased my phone in Germany I got a LG Benelux E975 version for which there are no updates for KitKat through the official
LG Software available.
Are there any methods to fix this or why won't the German version wouldn't work on my device and why does it is not launched yet.
The support had no new information for me.

Is it network locked or unlocked?
Also, you can flash the E975V20A on it if its E975 Good luck!

It is unlocked. Is there any risk of making the device unusable, how do I convert it to a V20A version?

Just flash the kdz update for E975
or
If your phone is Right up stock phone, follow tutorial to get Custom recovery (TWRP or clockworkmod) and plainly flash an upgrade zip file
Can you provide me the links to both threads?
Thank you
Hey!
Going to make this as short and simple as possible.
So I was runinng stock LG G3 4.4.2, but about 1 week ago I recieved the 5.0 update to my phone. I was all glad and dandy until I got sick to my stomach with McAfee (unfreeze-able and non-removable) and games starting to lagg without device even getting hot...
So I decided to Root and run CM or some other more lightweight ROM, but to my greatest fear, 5.0 seems unrootable atm!? I am at a loss here.. I am in no way happy with the Lollipop update, I can't even see if my device is running ART or not, and the overall experience feels even more sluggish than before - Need a 'get out of jail' card over here ~
Sidenote; I've only ever owned Samsung Devices (S2 and S4) as main phones, so I feel a bit lost when it comes to how LG run things (no Odin is my primary issue, as well as limited support since the device is not all that popular).
TL;DR:
1. Is there a working Root for LG G3 International d855 (32gb, 3gb RAM)devices running stock 5.0?
2. If not 1: Is there a way to downgrade from 5.0 to KitKat again?
3. If 2: What's the best way to Root the device with, and what Kitkat version should I run?
1. No.
2. See FAQ in my signature for links for guide to downgrade (guide is listed as unroot in faq).
3. PurpleDrake should do.

I am currently following your 10 (6) linked guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
But I am already stuck on 1.. http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/
What firmware file do I pick? Using the 32Gb LG-D855 (international), and I picked it up along with a carrier contract from "Telia" (Swedens biggest carrier).

Yes, that is the guide.
You need firmware for D855. Latest Lollipop version is 20F.

Wait what? Exactly which file do i download, to downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4 "KitKat" again?
Currently downloading this file; "D855 TOTs/ -> LGD855AT-V10e-EUR-32G.zip" Is that the wrong file?

Download kdz file.
If you want to downgrade then some v10 version. V10N is the latest.

but king root gives only a moment of root.. i think for about an hours... it will not root permanently..
Greetings guys.
I am using Hong Kong version LG G3 D855 (32GB), with Android 4.4.2 (v10n-HKG-XX).
Recently want to clean my phone and re-flash stock ROM, and I noticed Android 6.0 is out.
I downloaded D855's "v30a" firmware here：http://lg-phone-firmware.com/firmware-Lg+G3-Tutti-41.html
And searched for root method around, but looks like there are no root method available, kingroot may be working but not sure.
Is my understanding correct?
If D855's Android 6.0 is still not rootable, then I will not flash 6.0 and I will flash 5.0. Please advise, thanks in advance!
Some people report that the kingroot method works but also some of them had issues after the process. Personally I don't trust this method that's why I'm still unrooted on 6.0.
The other thing you can do is flash a pre-rooted 6.0 rom on a previous android version.
