I just bought my phone from a store in the mall. I have the t-mobile LG g3 but it's unlocked to be used on at&t. It'd on 4.4.2 (latest version)
I need help on figuring out how to root it. There are several ways that say are patched now. Is there just no hope for this phone anymore?

Yesterday i got my lg g2 from ebay. I spent several hours researching how to root my phone, install custom recovery and a custom rom. Eventually I succeeded. feeling proud of my 'accomplishment' (as it was my first time) i went to bed. only to find out that my phone is permanently locked when trying to unlock it!!! I googled for answers, but I couldnt find one. My LG G2 is D802 int variant. running 4.4.2 with cloudyG3 1.3 ROM. Is there a workaround for this issue? I'd like to emphasise the fact that this phone is PERMANENTLY locked so please dont suggest to buy an unlock code. thank you
Hello,
I acquired a Verizon G3 as a gift a while back (weird story) but my primary phone has been a GSM Nexus 5 and I have been on T-Mobile service for a couple years now. I used the G3 as a second phone/tablet by just connecting to WiFi and using it for a camera/games/music device. My beloved Nexus 5 has become less reliable and I thought I would just switch to the G3 as my primary phone. I put my T-Mobile SIM card in the G3, manually entered the APN, and to my surprise, I connected to T-Mobile LTE immediately! Awesome! Now, the only thing keeping me from being satisfied with this device is that it is still running 4.4.2. I guess it never got an OTA simply because it never connected to the verizon network.
So my question is, is there a way to get the long-awaited OTA from T-Mobile or is it not compatible? Is my only option to root the phone and flash Marshmallow?
I appreciate the help!

There is no Marshmallow for the VS985 yet. 5.1.1 (35B) was rolled out a week or so ago. If it's flashed stock, it cannot be rooted, but there are pre-rooted custom roms available. Easiest way to go about it would be to KDZ flash back to 10B, root using stumproot, flash TWRP, and then install a 35B pre-rooted custom roms via recovery.
Check the Verizon LG G3 forum for more info.
Hello, I bought a LG G3 . Model : LG-D851TN from Aaron's today on sale. It's an unlocked from t-mobile but it did not have tmobile bloatware. No t-mobile logo boot up screen and no apps or any trace of tmobile on it. It was still running D85110C and would not update to 5.0.1. So I used the KDZ from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/general/firmware-t-mobile-lg-g3-t2818667 and now I have all the bloatware. Does anyone have the stock KDZ of this firmware or know where I can find one. without the bloatware without rooting. Thanks
try the cloudy rom.
I'm not new to roms and rooting but recently I bought an LG G3 on ebay. The phone model says it was an unlocked d851. I know it's the T-Mobile variant and it even says it's D851 on the system settings. It is currently on kitkat 4.4.2. The point is, I want to flash the Lollipop kdz for the T-Mobile variant but whenever I power the phone on, I get the Viaero Wireless bootloader and the phone does not have any T-Mobile apps whatsoever. Any suggestions on what I can do in this situation? Any help would be highly appreciated
I have the same problem
Did you find a solution to this issue? I'm currently expeciencing the same problem. The phone wont uograde from 4.4.2 kitkat
Hey everyone! About a year ago I bought an AT&T LG G4 of of ebay with the intent of using it as a daily-driver phone. The seller listed it as Unlocked, and only mentioned the model number at the bottom of the page. I didn't look at that first, so I ended up with an AT&T G4.
It's unlocked, so I can use any sim with it, but the amount of AT&T bloatware on it is INSANE. So I used it as a primary phone for a few months, but than ended up shelving it, and using it a secondary, playarround phone.
And now as I'm not using it, I'm looking for a methood to unlock the bootloader and get rid of the AT&T bloatware. So today I looked arround and found out that the AT&T G4 was indeed unlockable but, you need to have AntiRollback V2 or lower. But my phone has AntiRollback V3. Is there any methood you can unlock an AT&T G4 with AntiRollback V3?
If I lose the simcard funcionality it doesn't matter. I just want to get rid of the bloatware, and update to a never version of android.
Any help would be appriciated.
