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?

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

trouble with rooting

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.

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 G-Pad 7.0 V410 Root Failure

My V410 received an OTA to 5.0.2 about 2 weeks ago. Tried to root several times since, all without success. Towelroot, Purpledrake, LG One Click Root (v1.3), LG Root Script (v1.2) and LG Root all fail. I even tried SuperOneClick, without success. I have never had this much difficulty rooting any Android device!
Am I missing something? Maybe I skipped a step? Windows 7 Pro 64-bit desktop PC, with ADB installed and working, so my OS isn't blocking me.
Android version: 5.0.2
Kernal version: 3.4.0+
Build number: LRX22G
Software version: V41020b
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I am all ears!

I'm having the exact same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is my exact issue too. I rooted my v410 and then it decided to update to 5.0.2 and now it's unrooted and not vulnerable. After hours each night of searching and searching is the short answer it's stuck where it's at? Every fix requires a rooted device and once on lollipop it won't root...
Edit: Also, hi everyone. This is my first post to this forum as a new member in attempts to customize my first android device.

LG gpad 7 v410 v20b:
I'm having the same issue.
For me, Purpledrake quits unexpectedly right after the tablet has rebooted once. Then the tablet reboots again.
Anyone know why?

Purpledrake ran on a Mac does the same but the term window stays up and it reads something to the tune of the phone not being vulnerable and basically putting everything back the way it found it.

Same problem here! Tried everything! Has anyone came up with a solution?

Any Solution guys?

Make sure both of these are set correctly. I struggled for a couple of days while trying root my v410, then realized it was #2 the whole time that was stopping my progress......

Purple Drake works for stock Kit Kat not for stock lollipop.

I stupidly tried to update mine to lollipop and now I appear not to be rooted and purple drake fails. I think the twrp recovery I had installed before is blocking it cause it fails when twrp logo appears at reboot (instead of AT&T logo). Is there another way to root an LG G-pad 7.0 v410 or find what's blocking purple drake?
EDIT: Actually it is ok now, rooted. Is there a way to install the new system update on a rooted tablet?

Correct, guess I should have reiterated that as well, as I assumed we all are experienced.

I'm not man. Honestly my entire ecosystem is Mac and iOS. I changed up my plan at AT$T and they were like:
"It comes with a tablet."
"I don't need a tablet."
"But it's free with the plan."
"Yeah but I don't need a tablet."
"But... it comes... ... with the plan..."
"Okay, give me the damn tablet."
"Great! We're out at the moment so we'll have to send it to you in the mail and sign here acknowledging you're aware that it has a new separate line for $10 a month."
Eventually I started using it and thought it would be good for when I'm out on the road on bidness and wanted to unlock all the supernatural phenomenal marvels that is Android. Nah man, AT$T's got this thing on lock down. I would upgrade to a different tab but dollars.

This not work with Lollipop only KK

No luck. My tablet will not root. I tried Purpledrake regular and lite. I used a new USB cable, I plugged it directly into the motherboard, and I ran both progs many times. I have de-bugging and MTP enabled. I have ADB installed, and I crossed my fingers. Purpledrake just quits unexpectedly. I hope someone figures out how to root this tablet. I'd put up some cash for a working root. Anyone else?
Stupid google. Whatever happened to "Don't Be Evil"?

Purple Drake doesn't necessarily quit unexpectedly, the window just closes before you get a chance to read the message. It basically says that the phone is not vulnerable and it can't continue and has replaced everything it changed and then closes and vanishes into the dark.

Has anyone tried rolling back the Android update?
I mean: restore to factory settings, turn off OTA and then root?

It's not Google's fault. AT$T requested that the bootloader be locked by LG and it's not advantageous for Google in any way to intentionally introduce bugs in the kernel that will allow for privilege escalation.
The reason that PurpleDrake is quitting is because it is executing the root script and not waiting for it to finish. Basically it is not checking for errors and just assuming that it worked. If you run the root script by hand (which is what PD does for you) then the script fails to escalate privileges and a root shell is not attained. PurpleDrake is only a wrapper for the root script.

Restoring to factory settings will only wipe the /data partition; it has no effect on the /system partition. I've been scouring the web for weeks and have not found a workable solution. There's a good chance that if you were somehow able to roll back to a KK image then the bootloader would fail to load the kernel.
When I get some time, I plan to try to try dumping the system image, manually injecting root goodies, and finding some way to flash that image back. It may or may not brick the device.

Has anyone tried any of these methods? http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197

Yes I tried and no works

So if we want root, we roll back to KK?

Can't root my LG G3 D855 V30d

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!
