[Q] Lollipop... Update without backups?

Hi everyone.
I have the D855 model of G3 with 4.4.2 (KitKat) stock version installed without root. Yesterday, I receive the notification of update to lollipop but I haven't done it yet.
I pretend to root the lollipop version (or at least, wait for a method to root, because there is no way yet, right?). What's the best procedure to do it?
a. Update to lollipop and wait a method to root it?
b. Backup my actual version before update so, in case of not exist a root method to lollipop, I can restore KitKat, root it and them install a root version of Lollipop (if so, how I can make this backup since I don't have root?) ?
c. Root now, make a backup and them remove root to update by OTA or install a rooted version of lollipop?
Thanks in advance.

L3 G3 Lollipop V20e can be rooted?

Can you tell my if it's possible to root the v20e version on a LG G3 smartphone?

No way to currently root lollipop on LG g3, you need to install rooted ROM, downgrade to kitkat, root and install TWRP recovery... Then install any of the rooted lollipop ROM.

everybody has waiting for working root

"plz i want to know why i can't root it "
BEcause there isn't a root method available for 5.0 as of now.
"and when android 5.0 will have root access" " if it will be rooted after a while or not ???"
We don't know
If you want root, you either wait till a root method is available for 5.0, or you use Kitkat, or when you're on kitkat you root and install TWRP and after you've installed TWRP install one of the many custom lollipop roms which include root.

The fastest solution is to downgrade to KitKat, root, install prerooted version of lollipop.

no downgrading.

What was the original country you got it from?

You need to flash kitkat rom KDZ by using your PC. There is a guide in the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
Be careful and first check which model you use. I think safest bet is to flash v10a since all root programs work with that version (I think). Region of KDZ isn't that much important, but just check for 2 very important things:
1. BE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD 16GB VERSION FOR 16GB MODEL OR 32GB VERSION FOR 32GB MODEL
2. CHECK WHICH PHONE MODEL YOU HAVE (F400K,D855,D851,D852,...)
Just follow tutorial carefully and you shouldn't brick your phone. If you don't have any understanding for root, I would advise you NOT to do any flashing then.
EDIT: you can't root it on Lollipop because it has new security features which haven't been worked around yet like kitkat.

just because you can't root lollipop & have to downgrade to kitkat doesn't mean you lose lollipop, if thats what youre worried about..?
downgrade to kitkat, root, install twrp, then flash a lollipop rom.
stock based rom will be exactly the same as your OTA update, if not, a more recent version.
aosp is pure lollipop experience, like on nexus range, but with added features & functionality.

AT&T GPad F 8.0 (V495) Marshmallow 6 OTA Upgrade Fail

Hi my friends, I am looking for a STOCK RECOVERY for my LG G Pad F 8.0 AT&T (V495). I was trying to do an OTA upgrade to 6 but after the Download and restart the installation is giving me an error because i am ROOTED. I need to flash stock recovery to be able to install new OTA upgrade to Marshmallow 6. Is someone have a 5.0.2 STOCK Recovery or maybe another idea on how can I do and upgrade to Marshmallow 6 I will appreciate any help. Thanks

Is there a KDZ or TOT available for your variant?

I am in the same boat. I can not find the stock rom anywhere. I would like to upgrade to to 6.0. I am rooted with king root. If the stock rom is not found is there a way to unroot and delete all root files so the update does not detect the root so we can update?

In order to take OTAs (starting with Lollipop) you have to never have been rooted (since the most recent time you've flashed a KDZ or TOT).
Unrooting isn't enough.
