hello all,
i have a T-Mobile LG G3 d851 running sw version V10R. I have tried using purpledrake, towelroot, and stump root. When I ran purpledrake, it started out working just fine but when it came to permaroot, there was a quick error (I only noticed the error because it was in red lettering) as soon as the error came the window closed down, and my device was still not rooted. then i ran towelroot, the message read "This phone isn't currently supported". after that failed attempt i ran stumproot. the message i recieved from stumproot was "device is patched, sorry!"
as far as i know, currently from reading countless forums and Q&A's, stumproot failed because my android version is too up to date and i need to downgrade. i have been trying to research how to downgrade the LG G3 and havnt come up with a walk through on how to do that. now i am turning to you guys for help. Does anyone know what i should do or have any suggestions or input?your help is greatly appreciated.
Maybe info in this thread might help.

Okay, so I have the Sprint LG G2 and I currently have the 4.4.2 update with LS980ZVE and everything I have tried to root my phone has failed. Towel-root says my phone isn't supported, stump-root says my phone is already rooted but its not which is confirmed by root-checker. I have tried iOroot and that failed. Another program failed because of my ADB bull**** and I don't even know how to get it to work on my computer. Could really use some help whether it be downgrading( tried to do by myself with LG Flash tool which also failed ) so anything that could point me in the right direction or tutorials would be great.

Ok so after you use stump root did you restart phone and install SU from the store? This is something that has to be done for you to gain root access.
edit: Use these steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56584296&postcount=153, this is what I did and it worked flawlessly.
☝ What he said. Worked for me.
I've rooted quite a few G3 without any hiccups but recently I got this F400L with firmware 4.4.2 and version 10u. I've tried towel root, stump root and purple but every time I get this error "Device not supported" tried add commands as well but same result. Tried hard reset but can't get it to root somehow. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thankyou

Hi. So im having a hard time rooting my g3. Im currently running lolipop 5.0.1 and have been trying to root via qbking77 method with zero luck.
The gui version gives me a "could not open the port" error. I tried the script version, but it was missing the root bat file for some reason and it also failed. I even tried to do it manually and it would not even recognize my device. Please help if you know a work around or a better method.
I am really sorry for opening a new thread, but i have searched extensively and found nothing related to it.
The problem is I recently bought a G3 Ls990 Sprint and i used ioroot and that lg root script 2.4 to root my G3.
My G3 build number is Zv4, and it didnt rooted my phone.
Which i came to knew later that only stump can root zv4.
The problem is, it somehow managed to change my download mode and it is not working. it says secure boot error and flashes led then restarts, mobile is in use and it is ok except then the download mode and unrootable issue. So i cannot TOT or revert it to stock.
One more thing mobile is not rooted, flashify cannot work as it is not rooted.
Stump root shows as rooted and cannot root it, and root checker says not rooted.
Basically i cannot root it because stump shows it as rooted and i cannot install twrp etc on it.
So its quiet complicated as i dont know what to do.
I know basics and all and i am not a noob or amateur related to android I just flashed or done something wrong with out reading. As i have owned G4 V10 and G3.
Hi,
I've been trying to find a way to root my LG G3 since yesterday, yet none of the methods I had found proved to work on my device.
I tried to follow this tutorial, but got a "FAIL" message: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
Same thing happened when I used an automatic script: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...t-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951/page1
I also tried to root using KingRoot, but it didn't support my device : https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/root-twrp-marshmallow-d855-30b-t3286268
It seems like my device can't be rooted. Any ideas?
Model: D855
Software version : V30d
Android : 6.0 (stock)
Hi,
Downgrade to V30b then use Kingroot.
Ok,
So after downgrading to V30b, I tried to follow the KingRoot method. Unfortunately, the rooting process failed each time at about 70%. I used version 4.5.6, as used in the tutorial. I also tried to install a newer version from the official site, but that app didn't even offer to try to root my device.
Edit:
I was really frustrated, and decided hopelessly to follow your instructions over again. This time it worked. I flashed the kmz again, rooted using KingRoot, and kept going. Thank you so much!
