For some reason I cannot root a new LG G3 D851 I just rooted same model 2 months ago. Not same software. The software is V20e. I cannot root this firmware no matter what I do is the bootloader locked now and there's no software available to unlock it? Please disregard I got it thanks to digital-bug. Thank you.
How did you root it?
Use the second method if on 20e, otherwise the first method for older revisions...

Newbie here!
I have a GCI (Alaskan Carrier) LG G3 D851 running Kitikat 4.4.2 v10c. Cannot root the device. Tried Temproot, Stump and Purpledrake (lite and full), getting "*** ERROR: Your phone is not running a compatible software version. No vulnerable mode detected.........." error with Purpledrake. Any other suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated!
Thx

Can anybody point me to way to root my phone vs986 (Verizon lg g4) that's on the 26a software of marshmallow?
There is no root for MM. If you want root, you can downgrade to LL.

No mm root but you can downgrade and root 13b
Hi! I bought a H815 version, foe a steal btw, "130$" Thinking that I could unlock the bootloader, but then doing more research only finding that the only way doing so is if I have a EU version.
So anyone know anyway I could trade or buy a EU or UK version for cheap so I could trade or it doesn't anyone know the status of the USA H815 bootloader status?
Also wtff why isn't the H815 version upgraded to marshmallow? This stock ROM is majorly broken .
tmobile one can be bootloader unlocked. h811.
I just did the same thing, got a h815 USA with locked bootloader.
Using LGUP I was able to flash version 20d MM and it is working fine.
You could try https://www.reddit.com/r/phoneswap/
I've got 20j MM running on my USA H815.
I updated with the .kdz file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/kdz-firmware-v20j-united-kingdom-2016-t3518925
I used the installers and software from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
Note that in the LGUP application, you need to click Update to select a .kdz file. You then need to exit and restart the program, then click refurbish to do a clean flash.
I'm guessing probably not but I pray that I'm wrong.

As of right now. No public root instructions or installs. LG recently released the unlocked variant bootloader unlock but not for the Tmobile version yet. Once and if that comes out, root will soon follow. I've read about some exploits which hopefully someone can test and develop on it. So fingers crossed it'll be soon but as of right now nope.
Anything ever happen with this? I'm on t-mobile variant and hoping for root sooner or later.

Can you go and try unlocking the bootloader? If you can I can try compiling a boot image from the LG open source and apply root to it.
There is absolutely no difference between the source code of the international version and the T-Mobile one in terms of the Kernel. That could mean that (maybe) it's possible to boot the international version of the boot image on a T-Mobile one however I'm still not sure if it's possible to unlock one and maybe try. If anyone is willing to try unlocking it please share a pic of the phone in bootloader mode.
My phone allows for unlock_critical but not regular unlock. Unlock_critical allows bootloader flashing. And when you unlock_critical it wipes your phone like a normal unlock would. I'm wondering if the could be an in for a full unlock??
As far as I know the only place where we can get the bootloader is from the kdz firmware but there is still no tool that can extract our version.
EDIT: try using kngoroot. It claims that it can root Android 8 devices. If you succeed you can then switch to magisk.
Tried previously and no luck sadly.

If you really want to get root you can try using LGUP with the international kdz file but it has a chance to break the phone (but as far as I know there is no different in the kernel of the T-Mobile and the international version). In THEORY if something bad happens after flashing the phone it should boot directly to download mode. If not just cross your fingers and hold the volume up button. Still this is very risky and it has a chance to completely break the phone.
Yeah I may give it a shot once I have all the appropriate files and such. I'm not too worried about bricking it, it's insured and I have 2 Pixel 2 XLs as back up phones lol

Nothing like Kingroot or Kingo root or any other alleged "magical" 1-click solution is ever going to work on newer LG smartphones.
We have root for ALL the LG V30/V30+/V30S on the planet due to exploits we found and wrote guides for.
Just yesterday a dev finally got root for T-mobile H932, so now ALL V30 and variants have root. (Different process for H932).
ROOT FOR T-MOBILE H932 V30/V30+
ROOT FOR ALL OTHER V30/V30+/V30S
Maybe someone can try unlocking it using the exploit?

Respected active V30 user, used to read all of your XDA posts on the amazing LG V30, been wondering the previous LG flagships upto LG G6 USA unlocked (US997) have unlocked bootloader, where as LG V30 (US998) & LG G7 (G710ULM) didn't get supported by LG? Are they officially stopped getting bootloader unlock except the EU variants? Do we hope something (custom kernel, ROMS etc) for them? Been waiting for my beast G710ULM! I hope some exploit like WTF method happens to the LG G7.

Yeah, it's frustrating the LG has apparently stopped giving official bootloader unlock (with fastboot flash commands) to North America variants.
We got "open market" US998 v30 official bootloader unlock code by hacking the website... LG had put in the IMEI before never announcing official recognition, but we could not get that trick to work with the open market US9988 30+, even though Europe had both v30 in v30+ models officially recognized.
So one of my us998 phones did have semi-official bootloader unlock from LG (available but never officially announced), but the others (V30+) luckily have access to WTF. I also bought two LS998 v30 plus off eBay and quickly converted those two US998 V30+ for bootloader unlock and root.
@runningnak3d is going to start working on the G7. His process is more complicated than the WTF method but it works. I'm not saying it would definitely work on the G7 but that's one of his next projects.

Can't wait for it!
I hope LG is reading XDA, also they even set up "Software Update Center" to speed up updates, or are they busy with the "hyped" LG V40?
To make the H932 root happen, a user loaned me their phone. Unfortunately, it looks like the same thing is going to have to happen with the G7. I looked on eBay and thought about buying one to do the dev work, but even ones that have a bad IMEI, or cracked (but usable) screen are still $600+ and I am not going to spend that to root a phone that I don't own -- sorry

You could try a factory restore if you haven't already. Also, the LG Bridge app for your pc (download from LG site), may provide an update or an option to reinstall your firmware.
The alternative is to check (private message) with other H810 XDA owners in relevant threads to see if someone has a copy of a suitable stock firmware.
Note: If you want to install a custom rom to update to the latest security patches, etc., , you can unlock your bootloader unofficially with steadfasterX's brilliant work (many H810 users have gone this route now) - check it out here: [UNLOCK][UNOFFICIAL][G4] Unlock **ANY** LG G4 device with UsU. Read the OP thoroughly and make sure you understand it fully. You will have to have an ARB version of two or less in order to go this route, so before upgrading to any other H810 firmware, check your ARB version with SALT.

thanks for reply.
I already tried the factory reset, but no lights on.
Tha LG Bridge won't work as i know cuz i don't have active AT&T Sim card and i don't live in tha usa.
Asking other H810 XDA Owners for a suitable stock firmware, i really didn't think about it so i will give it a try.
My H810 already have H81021y software which has ARB 3. so no root for me, i guess :crying:

Yes, no root, no bootloader unlock for you, unfortunately.
However, ALL MAY NOT BE LOST ... check out this thread that I found: link... to Android 6.0 MM h81021y archive tot
There are a couple of links to the firmware you seem to be looking for. It is a TOT file but you should be able to flash it following the TOT method as outlined in this thread: [Guide] LG G4 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ & TOT Method - scroll down to the TOT method.
Good luck.

Also find the bootloop fix list in my signature .
Still its just a guess . Check the first 3 digits of your serial (sticker behind the battery). If it starts with 603 or lower you board will be sooner or later affected by the ilapo .
