There is like 1420394520420934^10 threads in the XPosed section on the new version(s) which may or may not work with Lollipop.
Anyone know the status of XPosed for the chip that the G4 runs?
Side note: if someone knows the moderator in that other section, it wouldn't kill them to create a list of devices and their status.
here is the thread with some testing and without a positive result until now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/wip-install-xposed-framework-t3140904/
i hope this will get more attention from devs when root for all lg g4 variants is here.

So, this week, Android Lollipop will be OTA updated to LG G3. My question is do we lose root and every mods we have placed on the device? I like the new features and optimization on Lolipop, but I also want my xposed modules to stay intact. It hints me that when I update, I would lose those modules and tweaks. I just need some confirmation on some devs here or some experienced Android updaters from OTA.

Has anyone gotten the update already and would like to share some information, opinions, insights?
Thanks!

Does anyone know of a way to root the LG G3 D852 running Android 5.0 Lollipop after the OTA update that recently came out?
I already tried using the CM12 nightly rom that runs Lollipop but it loses some much features from the LG G3 such as double tap to wake and I dislike the style of CM12 a lot.
Any help at all? I don’t want to use Cyanogen Mod at all.
Maybe this url can help you:

This method only works with Kitkat. So far there is no method to root Lollipop. You will have to downgrade to kitkat then root again and follow this thread written by autoprime http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412

Someone will have to make a stock flashable zip including root. This is something I'm attempting, but having very little success in doing due to the bumping of the kernel.
Hopefully someone will be able to figure this out -- I'll gladly donate to anybody that can root the LG G3 D852 with the Lollipop update. I am already missing Cloudy5 but decided to try out the update. I am very disappointed -- Rogers / LG seriously crippled Lollipop and many of the best features are gone. Even the lock screen notifications suck compared to AOSP ROMs. Eager to go back, may need to go back to KitKat, root again, then re-install Cloudy5.

I don't know enough about it but am trying to learn as well, unfortunately i'm only a geek and not a techy geek. What I was hoping to do was flash back to KK then root/custom recovery and then flash system.img using the LG flashtool, so that I could have official Lollipop only rooted.
I was trying to follow this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4s6wrpD2Gk, but it's not enough for me to go on, perhaps it can help put someone else in the right direction.
I've got the kzd file for if anyone needs it.
It looks like Lollipop rooting has begun

Hi @cytherean,
Thanks for the mention.
I am going to work on uploading a YouTube video tutorial for the steps that I did so that owners of other LG G3 variants may try if it works for them.
I would say though, to try @autoprime's method first because that's exactly what I did. I merely added a minor/extra "manual" step to his procedure which is to "bump" the Lollipop boot.img of the D858HK (as the online "bumping" service is already taken down - I was too late in the game, unfortunately).
Stay tuned!
PS: would you guys recommend for me to create a thread solely for this? If yes, I'd probably name it with "D858HK" and then others can post and report their findings, so that I can update the thread title. Or do you suggest I just keep it under @autoprime's thread (or the D858HK thread)?
The only reason I am thinking of creating a thread is to increase visibility into the procedure. Rest assured that I always give credit to all the things I have learned through reading and discovering the process.
UPDATE: I decided to create a thread. At this point, I have tested and re-tested the procedure; it works for the D858HK (100% success rate). http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-update-to-lollipop-root-bumpd-twrp-t3048845
Inviting owners of other LG G3 variants to try too, and let me know if it works.
I'm about to buy the international version of LG G4. And wondering if anyone has had any success with installing Xposed with no issues.
Also would appreciate if anyone can please direct me for the most safe steps to root the G4
Thanks in advance :good:
i got bootloop with xposed.
there is good rooting guides if you look in g4 threads.

Too bad :crying:
I'm kinda obsessed using xposed & GravityBox, extremely looking forward to get xposed work on LG G4
If anyone knows the trick, please keep us posted .. and I will .. :good:
From what I recall back when I was running GravityBox on my Nexus devices, it is only supported on Nexus and AOSP-based roms. Pretty sure even if we get Xposed working on the G4, you won't be able to use GravityBox on the stock LG ROM.

Not sure if it would matter as far as this case goes, but I was able to run GravityBox on my Galaxy Note Edge (which was on a modified stock TW rom, so no AOSP-Base), Not sure why it would run on TW and not UX.....but then again, who knows....I guess the whole point is moot if we can not find a way to even get Xposed running in the first place.

Thanks for your reply. I was reading almost all threads about rooting the G4, however, haven't yet found anything about rooting version H818. Please let me know if you have any idea about a successful rooting method for H818.

As you know, you must unlock your boot loader before you can root your G4. Mine is the international or EU model H815 unlocked and rooted back in May. Take heart. It is easy. Key points are: a visit to the LG support site. Then can make your way to the Developer section and register to receive the bootloader unlock code. LG will try three times to dissuade you but will in the end email you the code. Once done the process is "irreversible" and will always show bootloader ulocked (on the boot screen). LG say they have listened to customers (a dig at Sammy and the i-sheep) and have started to roll out the unlock code globally. Yours may be listed already, if not it soon will be. It's been a month now so register / monitor the site. Once you unlock, you'll find step by step method of rooting your G4 here on xda. I posted one myself but thread was closed as there is one there already. Your next query will probably be a lean deodexed ROM or to install Xposed. Sadly, no news on either of those for the G4. Hopefully a bright spark will crack those soon.

That's not accurate, you don't need to unlock the bootloader to root the device. There is root available for most variants in the dev section and none of them save the 815EU and H811 (TMo) variant have an unlocked bootloader available. The H815 you have to get unlocked via the LG support site as you mentioned and the H811 is unlocked by default from TMo.

On the G3 we had a module called G3 Tweaksbox which did a lot of the same things as GravityBox, and more, specifically designed for the G3. We can hope the same happens with the G4!
Long live XPOSED and G3 (G4) Tweaksbox!
I realize that the USC version really isn't in anyone's Todo list, but was wondering if anyone has been making any effort to find a workaround for either an unofficial bootloader unlock or prerooted system image that would work in the us991 variant? Best outcome would be an unlock allowing TWRP and custom ROM use, or at least root and Xposed usage on the stock MM. Any responses would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I surely hope so..I love my g4. I brought it over to TMO, and have no issues other than having to buy a new battery as original was falling after almost 4 years of service. I've honestly not feeling the need for a new phone, it's fast has decent storage, a gorgeous screen and the design makes it easy to hold even with it's screen size. My only worry is I've been following his posts and they are all focused on the other unlockable versions with nary a mention of my poor us991 lol
Anyone with the opportunity want to help out a developer?
On the G5 forum there is efforts (and success mind you) to make customized stock rom's based on newer models like V30 and G7.
I'm not the developer myself, but it's clear that anyone with the G7 Fit could help this rom development (by providing some useful
files that are much closer to the G5 than G7 or V30, but still using newer LG framework).
We need vendor and system partition dumps presumably. Take a look here for relevant G5 thread.
You could install patched LGup that allows to selectively dump partitions. This thread has guidance on how to install it.
UPDATE: This request is now obsolete.

OK - I tried the LGup with patched files but ended up in error. Sadly.
But then realized, that in total commander all System files are visible without root permission.
Now tell me, which files you need and I will pack them in a zip file.

Hey there
Thank you for your willingness to assist in this matter.
I had almost forgot about this thread, and the developer mentioned has since left xda for good it seems.
Also I looked up lg-firmwares.com and finally G7 Fit is available there for downloading KDZ's.
This means that you don't have to dump anything, since anyone interested will find it at lg-firmwares.com

Allright. Maybe you can explain to a newbe. Lg fanclub - is good for... what? :silly:
I am looking for a propper method to root my g7 fit, cause it may take a few month to wait for pie update.
You think, any developer is interested in providing a twrp? Or maybe I just didn't get it right? Could not find any hint about where and how to use kdz on lg-firmwares.com in that manner....

You can't root it if LG doesn't provide bootloader unlock (Some hack/exploit may be found, then you'll see it in this forum. Right now as you see; this is the only thread here...).

If and when bootloader gets unlocked, someone will likely build twrp, roms and kernels.
