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

I unrooted my G3 D855 to get the 10e update (maybe it is the fix for the shutdowns) but when I tried to root it again with Towelroot v1&v3 it's shows a message "This phone isn't currently supported" also IOroot supports only older versions than 10d.
Did someone successfully root their D855v10e ?
If you can't live without root be careful with updating the G3 to 10e and higher.

Rooted the E version with IOroot, no problem there.

You only need to downgrade your device again with an earliar kdz if you want to root your device again.
You can use that new root "purple" or whatever its called to root if the other root options fail.
what are the changes in 10E is it worth updating?

It supposed to be for the D851 only. Am I wrong ?

There are two versions posted, one is for the D851 that provides a recovery etc, the other is just a root method.
But, what if I don't want to run your script to root?
Well then, I'd be a little hurt, but you can still do everything the script does manually.
Download the package, and extract it. Open a terminal in the main folder of the archive and run these commands:
Code:
adb reboot --bnr_recovery
adb push ./assets/start_restore /temp/start_restore
adb push ./assets/permaroot.bin /temp/start_restore
adb reboot
That will perma-root you, however there's no protection from doing something stupid or the phone being incompatible. Please be careful!

Is it possible to manually install the root with windows ?
Edit: Confirmed working :victory:

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.
Anyone successful rooted g3s(beat) d722k lollipop (android 5.0)?
Temproot
Hi, i used LG One Click root and King root. Both work but when you reboot your device, the root access is removed. It might help but .............
For ino, i have a LG G3S D722K 5.0.2
New Method
Hi. Found that link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
Seems it can be done manually, i'm going to try it and hope it works.
Kingroot
In case anyone still can't find a solution. I found only Kingroot would work with my device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=12586
I previously used purpledrake fine on kitkat, but i tried that, lg oneclick, towel root and another one and couldn't find anything to give me a perm root.
The only downside is you need to use Kinguser, instead on superSU or superuser. I know there is a workaround that just didn't work for me.
Now I just have an Xposed incompatibility issue to look into...

Issue with lg g3 beat with lolip 5.0.2
Hello, i rooted with LG One Click (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/lg-g3s-beat-d722-thread-t3110048). Root Checker says:
ROOT ACCESS: Device rooted
SUPER USER: SU FOUND
BUSY BOX: Busy box not installed
and path information, i guess for su
The issue is i can't do nothing else:
Installed supersu but don't update binaries.
And any app that ask for root access do not have it.
Preciate some help (newbi in rooting and so...).
Thank you
Hi Guys,
I have a D855 on V20h on Lollipop 5.0. I'm finding it hard to find a root method for this phone. Looking at Purpledrake and IORoot its not supported. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have access to Windows and Mac if that helps.
Thanks in advance
Use the second method in the OP...
[GUIDE][ROOT] Newest Root Method for LG devices
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
OK so I have tried the newest root method and it fails using both manual and script. I get the same error as all the previous root methods. "This program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer try re-installing the program to fix this problem". I have re-downloaded the zip and tried again, as said this is the same error as previous root methods. I'm running Windows 10 not sure if that would cause an issue.
Thanks
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...
[GUIDE][ROOT] Newest Root Method for LG devices
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.
