Hi guys,
I might get flamed, I might not.
I have searched on google on how to root my LG G3. I have used towelroot and it says something like it isn't compatible. I used stump root and it says its patched. I used purple drake and I manage to find my device but the error comes up about vulnerability.
Luckily with PDrake, I found my software version as I have been seeing 10f 10e etc everywhere and it seems mine is a v20f.
Into google it went and the search it very minimal on answers.
Do I have to rollback the software to a kit kat version in order to root??? Is there any other way or more importantly is it a safe way?
All I really wanted to do was change some of the UI sounds and I cant access the system folder without a root!
P.S. Is there up to date, guide on how to roll back?
Thanks!
Yes, you have to go back to kitkat, then I used IOroot and then install twrp via Bump

Thanks for the reply hgneto
Dammit, so downgrading it is.. <_< Been searching and you have to download custom ROMs? They are labelled with 10g/10f, are these related to the version of the phone?
Sorry, not clued up on all the jargon/acrynoms.

Here for downgrading.
What's your phone variant ?

This what I need? It says back to stock but I am assuming its just for the version you want?
I have gone through the files and not sure which one I dl?
Im from the UK, on three.
EDIT: @ Raptor - Not sure what you mean but its the LG G3, D855 v20f 16gb.
Seems it is the link I am supposed to be one, thanks.
Just not sure what rom I should be picking.

Ok nice, so D855 16GB from UK and unbranded ?
This KDZ should work. It will bring you to V10A, so Kitkat, and after that you can root.
If you have issues downgrading, I suggest you ask in the other thread, it is especially for this step.
Good luck.
BTW: doing that will erase all your data on your phone.

Again im not sure if it is branded or not. Its an LG G3, is LG not the brand? lol Sorry!
Thanks for the link, clicked it in another tab and doesn't seem to be working but ill figure it out.
So doing this process wipes my phone? So much for just wanting custom UI sounds :haha: No way around the phone wiping? I mean most of my stuff is backed on google+ but its just tiresome considering I have just put everything on there already with the phone being new..........
Thanks again.

What I mean by branded is that you might have some Vodaphone software on it or from an other carrier. Unbranded means it's a pure LG phone unmodified by the carrier.
LL can't be rooted so you have to downgrade to KK.
For doing so you need to factory reset your phone using a KDZ or a TOT file, and there is no way around wiping the thing doing that.
Yeah that's a lot to modify a sound, but eh that's the deal as of now. And mind that if you downgrade to KK and root, you can't get back to LL if you are rooted. (Well you can but your phone will become a brick)
If you want a rooted LL, you need a custom rom like CloudyG3 for example.
Cheers for reply, already hit that thanks button.
Seems a lot for custom UI sounds, think ill wait until someone develops something. In the mean time I will continue to search for the ability to mod the system audio file without a root
Sorry to hijack, but can I confirm that the way to go from stock lollipop to rooted lollipop is to downgrade to Kitkat using the links above, then root, then install a rooted Lollipop rom?
Thanks

Yes. LL has been rooted, but it´s way more complicated than previous versions of Android. You can wait, but it could be weeks, months or years for an universal safe and stable method
And the G3's locked bootloader isn't helping too....

So Friday i went to verizon and bought me a new LG G3 phone, 32G memory 3G RAM, you know the good **** LOL. Well when i got home i wanted to root the phone but when i looked it up there was many options, IOROOT, TowelRoot, and Stump Root. So i tried towel root on the phone but when i clicked the button towel root said my device isnt compatible and my phones build is the VS98510B. So at that point i decided to try IOROOT. When i launched the batch file i made sure i made myself a developer, got the proper drivers, made it connect via usb and set the phone connection to Ethernet. Well in the batch file it said everything was good and that i just needed to click any button to continue well i did that but when i clicked a button it simply closed the batch file. All i clicked was the space bar and it closed. Stump root isnt compatible and im afraid to use bruteforce mode. Any one got any help with this? Andriod Kitkat 4.4.2
Use the brut force method in stump. Takes about 5 minutes.

So when i root it do i need to back up anything? Ive heard of whats called TWRP but idk what that is
I used stump root. My phones still works. You can't install twrp because bootloader is still locked, have to wait for a way to unlock it.

Read a bit here TWRP is a recovery and backup software for when you flash a custom ROM.. You're not flashing any custom ROMs just yet.. So... I don't think you need to backup anything just yet. After you root the phone you can use TWRP to backup your current stock ROM .. Good luck ..
:good:
I used ioroot with no problems. Check out this vid, pretty straight fwd on what you need to do.

My pleasure Hope you can find root using the desired software.. I'm in Korea..using the F400k but the latest update (v10l) couldn't find root using any of the available tools.. so.. I had to downgrade to the previous (v10g) and got root again. :victory:

Hey, I am also from Sweden. Not so sure about the root counter, but I have had my G3 on service and they didnt mention anything about modified software. I just flashed a stock KDZ with LG flashtool which seemed to remove all signs of root, there are guides for LG flashtool here on the forums. I suppose you have the D855 model? Then any international D855 KDZ should work just fine, I havent had any trouble connecting to Telia with any international D855 modem yet.
About ROM's, its kinda hard to recommend a ROM since I have no idea what you are looking for. The bumped AOSP ROM's are still being worked out and can have some bugs, if you are looking for a stable close to stock ROM with some minor modifications I would recommend CloudyG3, or if you are interested in the latest news you could try out the pre-rooted Lollipop ROM (Havent had the chance to try that one yet, so cant really say anything about it)

Hey guys massive noob here, wondering if it is possible to downgrade from android l to kitkat or to root android L on the G3. I foolishly updated and my root is gone, stump is not working (obviously not made for L yet) and I can't find any help elsewhere.
I need to root my phone and I don't care whether the the best way is to downgrade or to root if it is available for the new os. I will lose my data other than what is backed up via dropbox etc but it's not a big deal for me.
Help much appreciated thanks
Yes it is possible just downgrade to Kitkat using the lg flash tool then root using Purpledrake
You can get the KDZ file required from this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2791761 (make sure you select the correct file)

I've fallen at the first hurdle, which firmware do I need?
I have a UK vodafone LG G3, 16GB, LG-D855, and I want the last version of kit kat available. I'm more than a noob.. .
Also why do you choose Purpledrake over stump, is there any difference?
Thank you so much
This firmware you want is A6VF, it is near the bottom of the list.
The reason I use purpledrake over stump is because some times it won't root and says "...Not supported" but feel free to try stump if you want and if it doesn't work just use purpledrake.
Hi. I got trapped with unrooting and updating to lollipop lg g3 D85520e-EUR-XX and wanted to return to kit kat 4.4.2. It's the 32 Gb model. Can you help with the KDZ i must download (I can't understand the four first characters of the list!). Thanks!
What network are you currently using? or is it an unlocked phone. A country name would also be helpful as that's how the files are organized.

It's unlocked. It's in Spain. Lg g3 D85520e. 32 Gb model. It came with kit kat 4.4.2 and i aplied PurpleDrake succesfully. Then I unrooted to upgrade to Lollipop 5. Ver. 20e. And now, I can't root anymore. So I would like to downgrade to Kit Kat 4.4.2 to be able to root again with PurpleDrake to recover my root privileges, especially to manage apps and their writing to the external sd card.
Thanks very much for your help!

Replace IMEI with your imei then press enter. Then post your suffix
It looks like if it were the same KDZ already installed... : FW9BRPVE022NAX045560S86/D85520E_00.kdz ??? What I need is the Kit Kat version 4.4.2 10x(a,b,c,...) to downgrade from this one (20e) and be able to root again the phone. I probably have explained myself wrong. Any idea?

As far as I undestand yes. You need an specific LP version but Im still trying to find out this. The thing is that every root method is now outdated and my phone came from warranty with a newer version. I just dont know how to proceed.

Things to consider:
Windows 10 may not work. I tried for over a day trying to backup my stock system.img using Windows 10 until some guy from another forum told me Windows 10 was probably having incompatibilities with the drivers.
Rooting. I had to make a VirtualBox virtual machine running the last version of Ubuntu (Took me 10 mins in total -downloading-setting the VM) but I also downloaded the files directly to Windows and copied them to Ubuntu. When I was rooting Ubuntu was missing files that were not compatible to copy & paste from Windows to the Ubuntu VM. So download the root_inject files directly to Ubuntu.

Yup that is the low effort root. That one is good when you have a stock room available, in your case V10N.
I went with the Ubuntu one because the version my carrier installed seems to work pretty good so I just needed root and had to do the 3 step rooting method with Ubuntu.

Yup that is the low effort root. That one is good when you have a stock room available, in your case V10N.
I went with the Ubuntu one because the version my carrier installed seems to work pretty good so I just needed root and had to do the 3 step rooting method with Ubuntu.
Enjoy!

well i just have root and xposed installed... .
i was told i idnt have balls to unlock bootloader... if he only knew
well i guess you dont know. as you told me i could not root and use xposed without bootloader unlocked.. guess i prove you wrong. as for grow balls dont even go there.. you dont know and once again i can prove you wrong... this isnt directed at you pakito someone else that siad those things.. he said bootloader can be relock and ive never said it couldnt do it.. all i wanted was warrranty. as even new 6xx are getting bootloops...
Whoever said it was not possible to root and xposed with locked bootloader is clearly living in the past. I had Xposed before I sent my phone to warranty, right now Im just trying to figure out why is not installing on my device.

well problem i have now is ... debloating.. after i removed some apps . i reboot but i get security error.. need to find out out of those 222 items wich one is causeing the error during boot and i must flash again back to stock and do process again...
I have done some searching, and it seems I already have my answer to root, but I will ask anyways as nearly all threads are at least a year old.
I have an LG G4 LS991 running Android 6.0, Hardware version 1.0, provider SPR. It seems I do not have, and likely will not ever have root, but has anyone come across any way to achieve this?
Also, I have an update that I need to know if it is worth running, or if I should delete it, in hopes of root. If deletion is the answer, how do I go about doing this?

Thank you for your responses guys. I looked at that thread, and it seems to me that I am unable to downgrade from ZVE currently, I am on android 6.0. Please let me know if anyone has found a workaround.
LG G4 begging for root & some other info

Thank you hyelton. I appreciate you dropping in with that info. You also helped me root and flash a better firmware for an LG Optimus G Pro I used to have. That worked very well.
Can anyone tell me how I can delete the update, or am I stuck having to install it?

Your welcome . Yeah it stinks it's that way. If anything They're might be a temp root but reboot it would be gone again.
