No su-file installed after root.

Hey,
I've tried many (over four) different root methods for my LG G3 (d855) and all had the same outcome: The script will tell me that the root was successfull but the SuperSU app on my phone will tell me that no super-SU file is installed and that this is a problem. Then it closes down and I have no root access.
Is there a way to mannually install them or what am I doing wrong?

Have you already tried the 2nd method in this thread?...

Download and extract the "New_LG_Root_v0.1_by_dig.zip" file, then run the commands in the OP from an elevated command prompt, and from the directory you extracted the files to.

Yes, I tried that one too.

Post pic's of the command prompt window after running each of the commands.

Alright, thanks! I tried again and it worked. Actually with the first method.
The difference this time was that I disabled my antivirus. That worked. So if anyone has the same problems: Disable McAfee!
So anyways: Have a Great day - Cheers

Help With G3 and ROOT

So i am having problems with my LG G3. I recently purchased a Blue LG G3 off ebay for verizon. It works perfectly with verizon and shortly after having it i accidentaly updated it to 5.1. I really wanted to root it but cant find a root tool anywhere that works. I have tried a TON. One of them even bootlooped my phone and about gave me a heart attack
Another thing that is interesting is when i go into firmware update mode down at the bottem is says MODIFIED in red letters... What does this mean? it said this before i tried any root tools. If anyone has any idea of tools i could try id love to know. I tried to downgrade the thing with LGflashtools using TOT and that didnt work. Then i tried kdz and almost bricked my phone. I was using appropiate files for both. Each time i attempt root i get a #fail with everything or it just reboots..
Thanks for any help,
Underarourjws

You can use this to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
Be sure that you have ADB enabled, otherwise it won't work.
And you can't do any ota when you are rooted.

Since your phone is running LP, if the above method doesn't work for you, use the first method in this thread...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
If the first method doesn't work, the second method in the OP will. If using the second method, download and extract the attached file to the root directory... New_LG_Root_v0.1_by_dig.zip Then open a command prompt from within the extracted directory, and run the posted commands.

Need help rooting my lg g3 d855

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.

rooting the G3

Been searching high and low to make this work. I have d855 running marshmallow but am in able to root it. Tried several one click ones that has failed (kingroot just ends saying root request and a number just under 30000). Kingoroot doesn't do anything. Iroot I've managed to get the cmd thing to work but not the rooting. Have left the phone with kingroot running to see if this request/adapting thing actually lowers.
Any ideas where I go wrong?

The marshmallow version on the phone may be too new and you may have to downgrade to an older version to root. Which version is currently installed?

6.0 I think the kingoroot page said it could handle it (marshmallow in general)

There are various version of MM so it's important to know the exact version of the phone. Apparently, kingroot can root some early releases of MM based on some threads I saw.

It's an d855 or is there another piece of info you mean?

Look under settings and software information. Marshmallow builds begin with 30x where x is a letter.

I have same problem
Kingroot is not work
V30e-AME-XX

If you can't find a root app that works, a ROM downgrade will be required.

Don't you need to be rooted to do that?

No, root is not needed to downgrade but you'll need to find the correct lollipop ROMs to flash.

Tried the first option on that thread but I only get update stopped due to an error.
Have tried to install twrp but having problems with adb. I thought the adb kit would be enough to make that work. Any idea what else to try?

Go in general thread and search for root marshmallow 30b that guide helped me root my g3 with kingroot. Tell if i helped

I found (I think) the thread you referred to but it seems to require that you have twrp installed. From reading the twrp website i got the impression you need to be rooted to install twrp? Have tried to load the image file from the SD card but can't find it when I reboot it. Not sure where I go wrong but I cannot get it to work.

You need to downgrade with LGflash tool to v30b and use latest kingroot 5.0. Then kingroot will root your phone and autorec file will flash twrp 2.8.0

Tried to do that (see post above) and it didn't work. No idea why.

Is this the thread we are talking about?

Yes and the one at the bottom of page one which tells you how to downgrade to lollipop. The downgrade does not work for me. It only tells me an error occured. The thread you refer to, I think you said you need to downgrade first and the root which I can't do as the downgrade failed.

Try flashing the file v30b from this video and then see if rooting with kingroot works.

Thanks. I'll try that later today.

Account closed so cannot see the file.

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!
