Had to unroot for OTA 10e update and now I can't root again+potential WARNING

I unrooted my G3 D855 to get the 10e update (maybe it is the fix for the shutdowns) but when I tried to root it again with Towelroot v1&v3 it's shows a message "This phone isn't currently supported" also IOroot supports only older versions than 10d.
Did someone successfully root their D855v10e ?
If you can't live without root be careful with updating the G3 to 10e and higher.

Rooted the E version with IOroot, no problem there.

You only need to downgrade your device again with an earliar kdz if you want to root your device again.

You can use that new root "purple" or whatever its called to root if the other root options fail.

what are the changes in 10E is it worth updating?

LG Italia posted this - https://www.facebook.com/LGItalia/posts/10152319257182585
Translated it says "improved stability, reduced heat, improved call audio"

It supposed to be for the D851 only. Am I wrong ?

There are two versions posted, one is for the D851 that provides a recovery etc, the other is just a root method.

But, what if I don't want to run your script to root?
Well then, I'd be a little hurt, but you can still do everything the script does manually.
Download the package, and extract it. Open a terminal in the main folder of the archive and run these commands:
Code:
adb reboot --bnr_recovery
adb push ./assets/start_restore /temp/start_restore
adb push ./assets/permaroot.bin /temp/start_restore
adb reboot
That will perma-root you, however there's no protection from doing something stupid or the phone being incompatible. Please be careful!

Is it possible to manually install the root with windows ?
Edit: Confirmed working :victory:

I have root installed but when I search an update via lg suite it says 10b is the latest...? (D85510B) [LG D855 HK]
*Update
never mind I got the update today and worked with root being installed (I checked root checker after the update and still rooted)

Nothing in the UK for Three D855

So i am trying to get root access to my lg g3 international
i tried using ioroot and it goes well until i am asked to sideload the package
every time i do that i get E: failed package verification error
please help.. how do i fix it ?
Build no: KVT49L.A1404795316
Software version: V10e-AME-XX

I'm not sure if this works on the International version but try Towelroot it takes literally 30 seconds to root. Download the apk and open it and it'll let you know if it rooted it or not. No reboot required.

Please help me!!!!!!

Disabling root from developer settings doesn't remove root from your phone, so it is normal the app still detects root.

The option in the dev settings just disables root access for apps. It doesn't remove root. Think about it like you set your SuperSU to reject all requests of root access automatically. Apps that check for root do that by checking system files, i guess. So unless you completely wipe out your su binary, this app won't work. Xposed for lollipop is released, there is a chance that the module for hiding root from such apps could work. You may give it a chance.

TWN/TAIWAN V20İ LGD855 - Root Methods Don't WORK :(

Hi everyone,
I have D855 INT, version TWN/TAIWAN. v20i officially released in a few days. I flashed v20i kdz file with flash tool, rom is perfect. When I try to root with One Click Root tool or DP Root, DP Tools and SEND_COMMAND script etc. all methods do not works at this time. Is there a way to root v20i? I use both v20h and v20p, I had not any root problems. How you root when you get v20i?
Thanks.

I am not getting error. SU Binary does not installed, so I could not get the root access. I think LG blocked that.

This woreked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/root-g3-pc-kingroot-t3136013
Try several times if you don't get at first

Downgrade first maybe?
I had to downgrade to my carrier's stock ROM for Kitkat and then I was able to root with the methods listed above. Then I could flash a custom recovery with Flashify and flash a nice ROM like Cyanogenmod or something. Proccess took a while as I soft bricked my phone originally haha

Thx a lot, it worked for me (the other solutions didn't work).
It failed the 1st time. After to clean it (clean recent apps), it succeed the 2nd time :good:
Then, you can do this to have SuperSU and to remove Kingroot: http://zidroid.com/how-to-get-ride-and-replace-kinguser-with-supersu-app/
(I confirm that it's ok on my LG G3 32g TWN-v20i)

Help.
Any other effective method to root LG G3 32GB D855 v20i-TWN? I Actually tried every method I could find From one click root to manual and king root. Nothing works with my phone. :crying:

How many times did you try Kingroot? It took me about 5 times to get it to work. You must also be connected to the internet. I have the exact same model and it did work after a few tries.

I tried alot of times more that 10 ans different versions of it the latest one and previous kingroot versions. What happens is that when I try to root my phone it gets stuck on 16-18% then the kingroot app closes when I try to open it again it says it failed.

LG G3 Gold is not updating

I have a LG G3 D851 Gold that is stuck on android 4.4.2 (software version: D85110c). It tries to do an OTA update however when it tries installing it it fails halfway through and just reboots and most of the time it says the software is up to date. I tired the LG Mobile Support Tool; when I use that it says I have an update available for a few seconds and then it says my phone is up to date. I called LG, T-Mobile, and Google and they all just blamed the problem on someone else and wouldn't help me.
Any ideas? I have never rooted or flashed a phone before so I don't want do that if I don't have to.

No, it's not rooted. I've never rooted a phone before so even doing that would be a new thing for me.
Would it help me if I rooted it?

while taking an official download you can't have root access or it'll throw you into a bootloop. In my opinion you should root so you can really customize your phone and get some pretty cool apps. If you're on kitkat there's this one click root app you can use and it's very easy,probably take you 20 minutes to get root access and install SU app.
