[Q] Noob proof rooting

Hi,
I just received my first smartphone and am really excited about it Aaaand ... I'm totally new to Android and the whole rooting & Custom firmware process
I want to root to Backup my TA before unlocking BL and was looking at zxz0O0's guide. There are now quite a few versions of the z1c dual recovery from NUT. I am on Android 4.3. Can I simply use the latest version?
Thanks a lot!

latest version is appropriate 2.7.99 (not tried it yet) as I rooted mine before KK came using 2.7.95

perfect, thanks for the information. Will give it a try and hope not to brick anything

I think it's safe to say that version 2.7.97 does not properly work so make sure to not use that version.

Okay, if you have the knowledge to know which rom you want on your phone, you should know how to use the search button my friend. I don't want to sound mean, but I'm very tired of babysitting people when this topic is all over the forums and can easily be found within 30 seconds of doing a Google search. You need to learn that the community loves to help people, but only if they can help themselves. And you should read the forum rules and never post anything in the Orginal Android Development sub-thread of the G3 forum because that is for actual development only, not questions, and not to be harsh, but you wont ever have anything to add to that. Also, since you apparently can't even do a simple search, I'll go ahead and warn you to be careful about what roms you flash and only flash ones specifically for the D855. I also ask that you read EVERYTHING on the OP's page before even downloading the rom. That being said, to start getting your phone ready to flash, you need to first root your phone with StumpRoot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
After you have carefully following all of these instructions and you have properly working superuser access with SuperSU installed on your device, then you can proceed to installing a Bump'd version of TWRP for your phone. Once again, make sure you download the correct file for you variant and follow this guide verbatim:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...mp-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-d852-d852g-f400-t2900614
Once that is done, you should download whatever rom it is you want to flash, IF AND ONLY IF IT IS FOR THE D855. I cannot stress enough how important it is that you don't flash a rom for a different variant. Follow all directions on the OP's page and you should be good to go.
Good luck on all this but next time, please learn to search before you start a new thread. This topic is literally all over the forums and is so easy to Google and find out for yourself in no time. If people would just read they could figure out a lot more without having to let others do the thinking for them.

Boy im glad i got rid of this phone. Best sell it and buy something easier to root with more custom roms.

If rooting this phone is hard for you I really pitty your intelligence.

Lol. I said easier to root not "hard"!!!
Even if you do root not many custom roms which is big no no for many. Then the lag and cartoonist ui boy it's a toss up between touchwiz and LG ui which is the worst.
Won't be buying LG nor Samsung anytime soon.

Thanks acparker18 for reply .

Rooting is seriously either one button after installing an APK or connecting your phone to your computer and pressing ENTER 3 times.

Fair enough but not much in way custom roms which is one of the main reasons for rooting. Apart from the lag This was one of the other reasons i got shot of my lg.

Thank for reply and advise.
BTW.
I have a questions about roms. Which rom for LG G3 (D855) is the best ?
I read a lot of good opinion about SphinX G3 V2.0, because V3.0 is not for D855.
EDIT:
I have a problem with Stump Root, because I see a error: "device is patched, sorry". What do I am?

I have a software from PLUS operator (Poland). I afraid to brick my phone, because It costs around 1700 PLN.
Stump ROOT do not run, because device is patched.
Purple Drake do not run, but I install all drivers and I go step by step guide.
Version of software: V10I-260-01.
What does it mean, the device is patched ?

Purpledrake should work on 10l, many people have said that it does. Strange. The device is patched means LG has blocked stump root from working.

[Q] Sorry, noob question! Can I root 5.0?

Morning Folk! I've just got the G3 SIM Free in the UK and allowed it to do all the updates it wanted (lots). It's now sitting at android 5.0. I'd like to remove mcafe from it but I've read I need root to do that - but from what I can see the tools on the forum don't seem to support 5.0, is this correct?
Cheers!

Short anwser: you can't.
Long anwser: you can put a pre-rooted rom of Lollipop. Look in the Dev section.

Cheers I'll just put up with it for now

Hello, I was looking through the Android Development section and sadly both the available ROM's were only for the 7 inch version of this tablet, I was wondering if you have planned any development for the 10.1 inch version, I would love to see a CM or custom ROM of Lollipop for this tablet.

Hmm, tried this one on LG GPad 8.3 KK 4.4.2, didn't work sadly, it may be that I only have a VM of Windows and there's an issue with mapping COMx to ttyx in VirtualBox that I'm not at all sure how to overcome. Adb finds the device, so it's at least communicating, but when it's time to run the exploit it just stops on the download screen. If anyone knows a good way to figure out which port is "diag" on a linux box (it's easy to *map* it, just difficult to know *what* to map) please do share. I've been searching high and low for a few days, and have learned a lot, just not what I need lol. I'd rather not do a hard install of Windows if I can avoid it, but I'm fresh out of ideas. I was thinking it might be that the software updated to VK70011A from VK700, but judging from the post above this one, that's unlikely(hence the edit). Not giving up just yet, but *any* input would be greatly appreciated.

...ammend that, trashed my partition table trying to move LVs around to do a Windows install, so backed up, and just scrapped the whole thing and started over with a dual boot from scratch. NOW it's rooted right and proper, yay, I can actually use the sd card I dropped $100 on, thanks for the link, worked like a dream.

I rooted with 5.0.2 and DP-Tools. My virus scanner alarmed me, but I guess/hope it is not a real virus.
I do not have LTE, but the DP-Tools is for LG-Devices in general.
Only missing thing is xposed framwork (doesn't run in lollipop)...i would love to remove softkeys in chrome while browsing.

I have yet to get this to work on my VZW 10.1. It hangs during the download screen portion. Any thoughts would be helpful.
TIA.

The single-click root worked on my US Cellular UK410. Thanks!

Interesting. I have a 4G VK700 I just got and Kingroot works fine. There is no reason to swith superuser apps because kingroot provides plenty of features and there's nothing I have been unable to do. I put in T-Mobile APN settings and my 4g signal was on and conected after reboot. I will post my sofware version and kingroot version. I don't know why you would install an update unless it is needed to run something you have been unable to run.
Just FYI most updates these days simply lock you out from or make root more difficult to get. and they often cause hardware issues regardless of wether it is rooted or not.

Wiko lenny

Hello,
It makes about a couple of months I made my lenny brick. The fact is that had the version 8 and got him the root with kingroot (3.5.0).
Then I searched and searched, (custom ROM) but nothing. That's when I made another brick installing another wiko. About a week ago I did test point (kcol0), then tool to work with flash.
I came to root with kingroot (3.5.0) but kinguser updated. From this update kinguser, MTKDT granted temporary root and I can do backup mobile (which prior to version 8 would not let me, telling me its inaccessible).
The problem comes and that is my question, build Uboot section v: ---- must be root shell.
I can do with this ?. Because I can not install superuser, or delete Chinese ...
someone knows something ?. Finally thank all the people hanging information, because without them we would have been able to repair my mobile. If I can help or support I'm here.
Greetings to all.
Bernavaldiesel.

Please do u have ideas if wiko Lenny 5.0 ROM is out?
Sent from my LENNY using XDA Free mobile app

My Wiko Lenny running Android 4.2 became stuck on logo. Refused to start. This was from normal use. I found the OFFICIAL KitKat ROM and flashed it with SP Flash Tool. The flash seemed to proceed normally although it seemed to go much faster than I am used to. The flash completed and said it was successful. BUT THE PHONE WAS DEAD! I have read of many others ending up bricked simply by flashing their Wiko Lenny with the official update to Kit Kat. WHY??? How do I recover from this?
