So, I want to root my LG G3 so that I can install Cyanogenmod 12 on it. But the rooting methods online don't seem to work. My phone is running official Android Lollipop (5.0). It was a OTA update. Is it because I updated over the air that I'm not able to root it or something else? Please help me. Thanks.

You really need to search the forum before posting, theres been loads of threads about this, there is no root method currently for lollipop on the lg g3, you have to downgrade to kitkat using one if the firmware files, root kitkat with available methods, install custom recovery and then flash whichever rom you would like.

I may be stupid or just quite how, but I can not find what I want.
Only the root.
I need only rooting for nothing else than away win with preinstalled software for example. Mcafee. etc., etc.
None of what I have tried here does not work.
IOroot no work
Towelroot no work
Purple Drake no work
stump Root no work
RootTool no work
My phone is the LG-D855 32GB
Android 5.0 version of the software V20e-EUR-XX
Can someone tell me what 100% works?
Such a wire-frame model, I am old and slow-witted man and use google translating.

I wanted to know if, instead of doing this, I could flash a rooted version of 5.0 (I have the same as the OP, just international v.)
No, there isn't one rooted yet. Must revert to kk then root

Afaik, there isn't a root method for lollipop on the g3 yet...
There are many threads indicating the procedure.
You have tip downgrade to kitkat, root, install recovery, install rooted lollipop.

Hi all,
Is there any information on successfully rooting 6.01 on LG G3. I tried a few of the rooting apk's and they don't work.
Try flashing the stock KitKat tot file first. Then root/install TWRP.

Kingroot for desktop, still have to find a phone it cannot root. Give it a try, its chinese but pretty straight forward. Find the official Kingroot thread here at XDA.
Previously posted in incorrect forum.
Hi All,
Just got my hands on a couple devices (some kitkat, some lollipop). They are all currently not rooted.
I see there is a lot of support for this device, so my question is, what should I do to these devices?
1) Downgrade them all, root them, and update them to lineage os? Is this relatively easy?
2) Can I upgrade them all to lollipop somehow, and then root?
3) What other options are out there, and what do you guys thinks is the best way to take this?
Cheers

Downgrading from lollipop to kitkat is possible, but it sounds like a long and involved process. For returning to stock kitkat all we have a test kdz that introduces a few issues you have to fix. For rooting kitkat PurpleDrake worked. Once you have root, you can flash TWRP then use it to flash any V410 rom you want.

No one has posted any V410 lollipop firmware to update manually. You'll have to take an OTA update. Kingroot has been reported to work on stock lollipop. Attempts to replace Kingroot with SuperSU once root access has been gained have been reported to result in bricked tablets.
Also, you'll be stuck on LG stock with the lollipop bootloader, it can't be unlocked. The kitkat bootloader can't be unlocked either, but it was easy to exploit. TWRP and all the custom roms rely on being on the kitkat bootloader.

I never liked the stock LG rom, but that's just a matter of personal preference. I've been on custom roms since they got stable. Currently I'm running an Android 5.1.1 build of Tesla. This tablet just worked best for me on lollipop custom roms. Marshmallow and Nougat get really unresponsive over time, though to be honest I think that has more to do with garbage apps my kid installs than the system itself. It is always nice and responsive after a clean flash.

Thank you for this extremely informative reply jason2678 ! Thanks for taking time out of your day to provide that detailed reply.
I would love to hear other peoples experiences on which rom to run as well.
Hello,
For start,I'am new here so i apolegize if i put this thread on wrong place .
I'am using lg g3,andorid version 6.0,but the problem is that i can not find root method for version V30o.
Is there a way to root this version,and if so,how?
Thanks.
People here first downgrade to 30b, root by kingroot and then install "bumped" higher version for example 30n which cannot be rooted also.
In short you need to downgrade if you want to get root.
