Hello, My device is the LG-D855 (32 GB) which I bought from Souq.com which is based in the UAE. Android Version 5.0. Build Number LRX21R.A1430824138.
I am a noob when it comes to these things but i found a couple links to root my phone and all of them failed... the one click root said it worked but after reboot i couldnt find the Super SU app in the phone, and the purple drake didnt initiate. i read xda forums and realised i needed to downgrade to 4.4.2 Kitkat to root the phone.. but the problem is I dont know which file to download... as its the 32 gb version and it says on the box made in Korea.
Any help will be much appreciated and once again I'm sorry for being a massive noob here.

First of all, 10m is your software version, not model number. The 10m just means you are on firmware version 10m. Seeing as you bought your phone in Taiwan, you most likely have an Asian variant such as the F400 or F400k. You may possibly have an international D855, but it's impossible to tell from your picture. Take your battery cover off and let me know what model number you see on the sticker under the battery. The same model number should be plastered all along the inside edges of the phone once the battery cover is removed as well. Like I said, it should be F400, F400k, D855, or something similar. Please let me know.
Thanks for your help. I looked behind the cover and its a D855. So when i search for compatible roms and stuff i should look for that model numer? Thanks for patience with ny ignorance man lol
Ok so thanks again for ur quick help. Ive done alot more reading now and im ready to root my phone, one thing ive had trouble finding is the stock firmware for my device if anything should go wrong or if i want to dl the OTA lollypop update i just received in the future. My current firmware is v10m-TWN-xx and i havr d855 16gb, i could only find the 32gb version. Would really appreciate it if someone lets me know where i could get the 16gb. Thanks guys!
Hello all, I have a question. I would like your opinion. I want to return my G3 to LG Official stock with OTA working etc, just like it was when I first bought it. So I'm looking to flash the proper and right kdz, but I came across a "problem" .
I have the International 16GB D855. The sticker on the box says that it's " 6SW(Switzerland) " , but when I'm searching on http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php the firmware based on my IMEI, it says that the firmware is 6ES ( Spain ).
So what firmware am I supposed to really flash? Is the IMEI one the right one since it searches the phone on LG's Servers?
But then again , the 6SW version hasn't gotten Lollipop update yet, the latest 6SW firmware is version V10L, while my G3 got the Lollipop OTA version V20F before I downgraded it, root and flashed it custom Firmware.
What is your opinion? Sorry for the long post and thank you very much.

You can flash any compatible EURO rom on to your device, like the latest German D855 rom ending with 20H. Link https://mega.co.nz/#!AMoUjCQY!llgH-KlTB4J0paynnnGpIq0ANCAEtXjmUvpx8G8ApQM and flash with LG Flash Tool.
BTW: did you backup your EFS folder?

I have boringly used an LG G4 for almost two years now. Just after a few months of using it, I had the bootloop issue, LG gave me another G4 which I've been using for more than a year. But I believe it is time to unlock the true potential of my phone. I've transferred all my pics and vids and similar stuff to my computer, so now it's go time. The only thing is... I don't know what to do.
Model number: LG-H815TR
Android version: 6.0
Android security patch level: 2017-03-01
Kernel version: 3.10.84
Build number: MRA58K
Software version: V20i-TUR-xx
These are the info I think are relevant. I have no experience in rooting whatsoever. What do I do now? (an up-to-date detailed guide also works for me)
Hey,
I still need help for this.
I've checked online and couldn't find anything for H-815TR v20i running Marshmallow.
Can someone come to my rescue?

It's very easy:
You can't unlock your device because LG allows unlocking of the 815 international version and 811 only.
Marshmallow can be rooted on unlocked devices only (so not on yours).
If you really need root you need to downgrade to lollipop.
Downgrading to LL requires a compatible anti roll back version. Search the forum for the code which displays your current antirollback version and the how-to for downgrading and rooting LL
.

Oh okay.
So I can't root my phone as is, I need to downgrade to Lollipop to do that.
Well I was thinking of flashing some custom ROMs and maybe underclocking for more battery life but given that this is my only smartphone I'd better stick to its current state then.
find the service menu for your phone. Google lg g4 service menu. call that number. check anti roll back version (last entry) if 0 you should be ok to downgrade, if not 0 downgrade will likely brick your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
read carefully and ask a any questions before using LGUP if unsure
after that you can root with https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
or upload your img file and kindly ask someone to root it for you and re-upload it
Anti-rollback version is 0.
