Just bought a LG E975 with 4.1.2 but I can't seem to find any guide on rooting that works for it.
Any help will be appreciated.

if its an E975 running JB it sounds like its already rooted seeing as no official 4.1.2 has been released yet for that model unless that's the korean model . I could be wrong though. Wouldn't be the first time. Check in app drawer for super user icon.

You can root it with the method posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2112190
Might take a few tries but it works as I tried it on the E975 KDZ a couple of times.
Then download busybox from market.

Thanks... it works beautifully!

Now I think to think of how to fastboot recovery into this phone. Can't seem to be able to enter it..
This LG phone sure is a learning curve for a former Samsung s3 user

Maybe jump on the IRC channel and ask for the E975 freegee if available. It will unlock bootloader and inject cwm for you. Then you just reflash a newer cwm version which can be found in the AT&T section.

Hi,
i have red different things about how to root an e975.
So i have a few questions before to root my phone.
Is there a better method than another to root my optimus G?
Is there a way to unroot it easily later?
If i unroot it, will it be exactly the same as a never-rooted optimus g?
Will it be possible to update officially my phone when an update will be available? (with root? unrooted?)
thanks for your answers

the easiest way is to use motochopper to unroot, after u need to unlock the boot loader with freegee available on the mp...
now you re ready to flash a new ROM.
at your own risk....
ask yourself what u want to achieve with root... if you want to get the last stock lg experience, you don't need to root.

G3 Rooting

Hey folks,
I hope I'm posting this in the right area, but here goes: I got myself an LG G3 back in November, and just recently saw someone with a 5.0 update on their phone. I also learned that we have the update here in Canada, but our amazing phone carriers are holding out on us. So, I would like to ask for help in rooting and updating my phone to the new Rom as I know next to nothing about the process, though I did follow a guide here a few years back The phone was originally a Roger's phone and I unlocked it to work with Virgin. Thanks all.

Any takers?

For installing a new rom (via kdz) you do not need to root your phone.

Really? That's awesome! But I would like to root it and play around with some extra functions so I could learn. What's kdz?
EDIT: I wanna note that I've heard a bit about "stumping" but I know nothing of what it is, so if anyone could shed some light for me, I'd appreciate it.

Hundreds of posts regarding rooting. 5.0
Can't be done. You must revert to kit Kat via kdz or tot. Root. Then install custom recovery and install a "bumped" lollipop rom

I'm already on kitkat atm. Tbh I'm not so hot into the root function, I just want to update the rom if it improves battery life, and utilizes the quad HD better.

Rooting on Lollipop 5.0

I just received my LG G3 today and updated to lollipop, not realising it was basically unrootable. Please tell me there is an option to root or atleast there will be soon? I cannot live without my Viper4Android app!
I can't believe I was so dumb to just install the update without considering the potential issues with rooting.
I updated my Nexus 7 to lollipop and quickly went back to KitKat using the Root Toolkit, so I didn't realise that we were having an issue with rooting lollipop devices. Or I wouldn't have updated at all.
I'm due another LG G3 tomorrow as the original company were out of stock, so I ended up going into the store and picking one up today, and ofcourse the original company just at that moment emailed me to confirm delivery for the following day.... anyway how far away are we from getting a solution... i will need to return one G3 so would it be worth returning the device i updated and keeping the G3 which will likely come shipped with Kitkat? Or will a solution likely be here soon?
Hope this makes sense, I've been up all night trying to root this *******.
Thanks!

Actually u can just install a custom lollipop rom which is already rooted or even install a stock rooted one too , it's up to u which one whould u like to return , for the updated one u can downgrade to kitkat using tot file and then root and get a custom recovery ... And install whatever u want

Thanks i did and i am running 5.o.1 lollipop stock. Everything is running smooth EXCEPT signal which very low, lower than before. The switching between 2 and 3g is terrible. Do i need to flash a baseband? If so where can i get for f240l?

Good Amigo, Im sure you can find what you are looking for somewhere on the LG forums, just type it in. I could not truthfully answer your question.

L signal was very weak. So i flash to f240k20d and the signal is very good. I received an ota update of 16.xmb. Which took me to f240k30e. Everything is working smothly

Help needed for noob trying to downgrade then unlock bootloader

Hey guys just bought a second hand lg g3 appears to be the singapore model. Its a 32gb D855 and was running lollipop 5.0 when i got it. Im trying to downgrade it to android 4.4 kitkat so i can then unlock bootloader and flash TWRP so i can flash roms. 1) is that plan correct aahaha will this even work. 2) what kdz file do i need off here http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/D855/ theres two singapore models which one do i need? thanks a lot guys

Hi
You should have no need to downgrade to Kikat. Search XDA G3 forum for Root tool v3 and use it to root and followthe instructions on installing TWRP.
I have the Taiwan version of the D855 32Gb and that is how i did it on Lollipop 5.0.

Yes i know but in xda people don't like using kingroot app.... say it has security issue.....also get kernel panic issue with kingroot but it can be just for me...

Yeah but if you install a custom. Rom after using King root you can use it and for me it was only option because of broken USB port
