Greetings.
I've searched around for how to root LG G3, but almost all seem to be rooting from a kitkat OS...
I got mine 3 weeks ago and i immediately updated to lollipop before doing anything. Can someone give me a step-by-step guide on how to root and rom my LG G3 D855 (3gb Ram) from start to finish? I have simple technological know-how i guess, lol
I'm planning on getting Resurrection Remix rom because it seems to have the most features, combining the best of several other roms. Interestingly, in their site, LG G3 isnt listed under devices, but it is in their downloads section... Any particular reason?
Also, any other recommendations for LG G3 roms? I'm looking for a stable(obviously lol) lollipop-based rom with as much features as possible but i especially want a perfectly working Active Display feature and less importantly, the circular battery. I believe most of the other features i want are availabe via G3 Tweaks Box, right? Also, may i know if im going to have to sacrifice the LG G3 special features such as Knock Code, Split Window, Q Slide, Gesture Selife? It would be a real bummer..
LG G3 Model D855 Build LRX21R.A1421650137 Software V20h-TWN-XXX
Thanks in advance

Hi guys, I'm completely new here but were recommended the place if I want to root my Android device. I'm coming from an iPhone 5 which I unfortunately broke after a jailbreak, but I ended up with this LG G3 (16gb / 2gb ram). Though, I want stock Android 5.0 Lollipop on it, instead of the LG variant with Nova Launcher on top. I have taken backup of everything on my phone but I have no experience at all rooting Android, so will this be near impossible for me without breaking my phone?
Right now I'm reading the FAQ thread and see that I should ask in this forum. I also checked which version G3 I have, and it's a D855 bought in Europe. So I assume it's the D855 - 10A/B/C (Europe) one I got on this list.
I see all of the rooting software is usable with my device, so which one would be recommended for someone who is super new to this?
Reading this thread, I take it I should root, and then flash the pre-rooted Lollipop. What does it mean if it is pre-rooted?
Right now, I must admit, I feel very lost in this brand new world of rooting.
Hi, I have the same version of you and its not complicated at all.
First you really need to know what are the terms for this, like TWRP and so.
In my case i went back from stock lollipop to kit kat, then root with purpledrake (easy and fast), then i followed this order: super SU -> busybox -> TWRP manager. All this appz are available in the google store and they are easy to use.
Once all this steps are done you can flash a bumped stock rom or go with a custom one, i went for cloudy 2.1 and its by far the best experience i had with my g3.
Good luck.
Will it be the exact same Lollipop version as the one on, let's say, a Nexus 6? With the same icons in the navigation bar at the bottom?
Because I can already get Lollipop on my LG G3 by just updating it. But I want the stock experience that Nexus users also have.
@iori_cl is correct, but here may be some steps easier to follow .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...-time-root-t2986942/post57812293#post57812293
for stock based rooted rom, flash this as your desired rom;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-cloudyg3-1-0-t2917467
but! this is still LG theme, not really lollipop, you can flash the official CM for pure lollipop if you like (minus lg apps camera, quickAPPS etc)
Yeah, I want the pure Lollipop experience. Without the LG theme. Is there a step-by-step for doing this?
follow steps here, the info in the threads can explain it better than i can.
if you're still on kitkat, ignore the downgrading step..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...-time-root-t2986942/post57812293#post57812293
it's pretty simple, all the info is there except for CM, which can be found here.

I'm sorry to be such a pain in the ass, but this is the step-by-step I'll do based on your links?
01) Root
02) Install twrp
03) Flash twrp update
04) Install CyanogenMod12

Hello my dear friends,
Yesterday i bought a new lg g3s. Mobile looks super cool and i've already loved it. The problem is that in store didn't tell me that the device was from "TIM" carrier and now i'm having about 30 little applications In menu and the UI looks terrible. Is it possible someone show me the threads i have to follow to install a clean version of kitkat. Like theone that mobiles comes Usually.
Thanks
Hi,
When you say little applications do you mean bloatware or distorted UI?
The process to change the Rom is easy. Just follow the tutorial for rooting and then install twrp.
If root doesn't the first time check the drivers. It gave me a hard time when i rooted
Sent from my phone
I mean that the carrier is TIM (like orange, vodafone, etc) and the UI is formed for TIM users. It has preinstall apps for them. I just want to reinstall a nice, clean kitkat without all those apps.
So the method is as always the same. Root and then install Kitkat twrp. After this can i unroot it again?
Any pro user to confirm my question. I need a finally "okidoki" to start the procedure. Please please it is critical for me to have a boost to do it!
Thanks
yes, you can unroot later
Guys last call!!! promise!
After searching for hours in xda forum and watch some youtube videos i finally found what i want to do.
My problem was the bloatware that carrier had pre-installed in the device. First i thought that the solution in this problem was to found a clean version of Kitkat 4.4.2 and flash it. Like all LG G3s (beat) devices coming without any carrier. I still want to reach that goal but i really dont know if flashing is the right way. I found an after-root software that can backup/hide or remove those apps but i fill like this is not the right way to do this.
I rooted my device from the guide in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/lg-g3s-beat-d722-thread-t3110048
Now questions coming like rain!!!
1) "Patching Bootloader" is it optional? it looks like it is necessary to move to next step.
2) "Install TWRP Kitkat: Download TWRP for KK" includes the kitkat version that i am looking for (and i described previously) or it 's just a tool for flashing?
3)And finally if i manage to flash device and make it looks like a Non-Carrier device, unrooting will bring it back to "carrier mode"?
I rooted in the past windows mobile phone and i remember some things (like bootloader adjustement is necessary) but windows from androids are a bit different.

As you said you rooted the phone, you can simply install Titanium backup and feeze (better option as can be unfreezed later) / uninstall the apps you don't want. Flashing the recovery will help you flash other custom roms. So installing titanium backup will solve your problem if bloatware is only concern.
Hit thanks if I helped.
Hi All! New here and looking to root my device and roll back to 30d to do so. Is there and step by steps as i downloaded thr proper drivers, lg mobile flasher, and the kdz file to perform the down grade. I found thevpost with all the links but am i supposed to just go into download mode and just flash thr kdz and go ahead with kingroot and then flash twrp using flashify as well as supersu? Its been a while i rooted my device.
Yes use KDZ to flash back D85130D then make sure your on wifi oe data .
1. Download kingroot and install
2. Dowbload LG-G3-Flasable-Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip from here. And put on root folder or phone storage . http://redirect.viglink.com/?format...&txt=LG-D85130D-Flashable.Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip
3. Download the latest TWRP for d851. Put on root of phone storage. And download SuperSu latest verison and put on root of phone storage
4. Download Banks Gapps 6.x.x.x. Put on root of phone storage
5. Dowbload and install flashify
6. Run kingroot till you are temp rooted
7. Flash twrp in flashify
8. Reboot into recovery
9. In twrp click install and install the AUTOREPACK
10. Now click back and go to install on twrp and install SuperSu.
Now once all done you are now permananet rooted on D85130D with Super Su. Also you can do the code trick to turn of OTA update google it or you can download a app called disable service and inside the app go to googleplayservices and you will see a bunch of stuff with checkmarks look for the one called systemupdateservices and un check it it will ask for root grant it . the. There you have it no more OTA
Kingroot just won't work for me at all on my LG D851. I've tried repeatedly on numerous occasions within the last 2 weeks and it's the same thing.....No Support for This Device. I have downloaded the apk from different links, direct download, mirror........I can't even remember now from what other sources besides those I used also. What am I doing wrong, it's as simple as hitting the install button (besides the google warning).
I got a G3 yesterday & tried several root methods, KingRoot (this app seems dicey to me, it adds a lot of other "stuff" that I don't want need), Stumproot (which said FAIL system is patched, and PurpleDrake method (which, after finding & rebooting phone, sat at awaiting device for 20+ minutes), and LG_root, where you had to type in the root script (also fail). I have successfully rooted my wifes G3 earlier this year (D851 same model as mine) but this one's a big PITA (ota updated to 30d MM )

Hi I have a lg g3 t mobile 285130e and I ve been trying to root it and nothing works, watching here and there I have not found yet a way to root it. I want it rooted because LG has dropped the updates of system in this phone and it is such a good one that I don't want to change though, Looking forward to try Cyanogen mod or lineage OS android 7.0.1 ...so if anyone could point me out to someone that successfully has rooted one of these phones, let me know, please thanks.
Gus
Have not worked with lg. To Root phone install TWRP for your device model, then install supersu zip. After restart get root checker basic to verify phone is rooted.
