Don't update
What shall I do to update with no issue, delete xposed? (last time I had only root and updated and it was done successfully, except that root was lost)

I am about to take the plunge and root the LG G3. It's been a couple weeks and I don't see any hardware faults so I would like to root and then debloat.
I can find some debloating threads here, but my main question was. . .how will I need to update after I have rooted the device
Say, I root today and then tomorrow AT&T releases an update for my device. Since I have rooted, I can't take the OTA update. But, is there a place that LG posts those updates? Can I download an update somewhere and and manually update with a specific windows application?
Or, will my updates only come in the form of ROMs after I have rooted?
I have the European D855 which was rooted using Towelroot. It has taken OTA updates perfectly twice now. Had to reinstall Xposed, but that was to be expected.

I'm not sure if it works the same way with the AT&T variant, but thanks for telling me your experience
It seems that some people reported being able to receive OTA despite being rooted, and some can't. I am one of those who can't. However, I have always been able to update using the LG PC Suite software even when I am rooted. That part I think is quite safe. Only issue is you will lose root after you've updated, in which case you will have to re-root. This may not be possible if the upgraded firmware has patched the exploit.

In the worst-case scenario you have too root again. But you're phone won't crash :good:
I tried, but I couldn't do it because of Root... I received a message from the installer that was impossible to install the update, because my phone is rooted. I think you'll need to Unroot to install de update.
In that case you should download a KDZ.file of the update and flash it with flash tool 2014. It will factory reset and delete the root on you're phone. After the update you can root again.

Better yet use [URL = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2802286 ]this method[/URL] if you're not familiar with flashing KDZ. You can accept OTA updates without losing your data. Once done, you can root again with PurpleDrake/Stumproot.
Works very well thanks for the simple tutorial

Hi, so I while back I rooted my AT&T LG G3 (d850) and decided to unroot so I could get the lollipop update whenever that was going to be released. I completely reset it back to it's stock firmware and everything. After so many months of waiting for lollipop, I got fed up with it and decided I would try flashing a lollipop rom, but when I tried to root my phone with towel root and stump root, both of them said my device wasn't supported. Could anyone tell me why this might be? I was all ready to go, but for some reason I can't re-root even though it's basically a brand new phone.

You can't root lollipop as of yet. The only way to root is to downgrade to Kitkat.

Try purpledrake, that should work if you haven't taken any otas. If that doesn't work you will have to do as mentioned and flash previous software with the flashtool.
Thank you to everyone that helped! I figured out my problem. AT&T rolled out an OTA update which changed my build number from 10d to 10f. I just downgraded my firmware and was able to root. I'm successfully running CM12 now!
Hi,
I've recently decided to root my lg g3 but all methods I found on xda didn't work (king/kingoroot, towelroot, purpledrake, etc.).
My phone model is d855 running android marshmallow update v30b-260-06.
Also i'd like to install custom rom with nougat with good battery life and stability(and root of course).
I know how to flash roms but i can't root my device to install twrp.
Ask if you need any further information about my phone.
Same here i changed my phone motherboad here in. India now kingroot 4.5.6 not rooting this board.
So first i downgrade to kitkate than root easily
U can try it too.

Hello,
For start,I'am new here so i apolegize if i put this thread on wrong place .
I'am using lg g3,andorid version 6.0,but the problem is that i can not find root method for version V30o.
Is there a way to root this version,and if so,how?
Thanks.
People here first downgrade to 30b, root by kingroot and then install "bumped" higher version for example 30n which cannot be rooted also.
In short you need to downgrade if you want to get root.
