Issues Rooting Telus (D852) on 5.0.1 - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've spent the entire night trying to root my G3 with Telus firmware on 5.0.1, using just about every method I could find on the net. There doesn't seem to be any way to revert to KitKat as I can only find Rogers and Bell firmware for this model, and every root method I've tried appears to go through fine but RootChecker says it's not rooted. Anyone know what to do?

Which method did you use? The first one with the script or the second one where you manually type in the adb push commands? I'm having a lot of trouble rooting my Koodo G3.

I have a LG G3 D852 from koodo on Android 5.0.1 and the second method worked for me. I'm running windows 10 and I used the LG mobile drivers v3.14.1.

Hey, I own a d852 (telus,koodo,rogers,bell) and I just use the one click root and it works perfectly and don't use the twrp su installer (it is out of date at this moment)

Hello rdjg22,
If you are reading this, I need your help.
I have a Fido D852. I recently downgraded it to Lollipop 5.0.1 (used a Telus KDZ file) and managed to get it rooted.
I can't find a proper way to install TWRP on it.
Your link from the post leads to a File not found page.
If you still have the files you used, can you please share them and explain how you got TWRP on your phone?
Thank you in advance,

Just search the forum and download the AutoRec app for d852 lollipop. That's what his link leads to.

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.

this doesn't work with V30n
Looks like they found a method right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/v30n-eur-xxx-t3456637/page4
I haven't tried it out yet, but others say that it works fine. You would have to go back to an older firmware (like 30c) and then follow the steps they describe
Please send me method of v30e
Any update on this - anyone got a method to root V30n? LG PC Suite is offering me the upgrade, but I haven't taken it yet unless I know I can root it.

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.

Kingroot is not work

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.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64624324&postcount=2
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?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/root-twrp-marshmallow-d855-30b-t3286268
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.

V30e firmware: Any way to root without downgrade?

Just got a new D851 with v30e firmware. Am I correct that the only way to do this is to downgrade the firmware? And is the only way to do this using LGUP or LG Flash tool with a windows computer? I was able to root my last d851 on my linux box, but the method I used last time isn't working this time around...

I think you can't root MM or its complicated. I was in the same situation few weeks back I end up downgrade it to LP/KK root and install TWRP and flash custom rom. I post it here the guide how to do it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73314882&postcount=7
Pretty simple to do it but need a computer.

Well, simple to do if you have a windows computer. I was able to use a similar method using a windows box, but I don't think that it's possible with linux anymore (would love to hearif someone had some success though).
