https://www.search4roots.com/how-to-root-lg-g4/ this would not work on g4 right ?
Some one-click root options would probably work once the bootloader is unlocked (e.g. Kingo Root), although I don't know for sure as I haven't tested them. I've tried the method in your link before and I have no idea whether it works or not, as I got asked to pay for additional software before the root process would begin.
So yeah, to anyone who desperately wanted to one-click root their device, unlock your bootloader first and try Kingo Root, but not the method in the link.

Greetings,
Is this a safe method to root my G3 international version (32Gb)? Is it temporarly or permantly?
Also, will I still be able to receive OTA updates with this root?
Thanks!

You will most likely need to unroot to take an OTA. I updated with root on my F460S (it shouldn't have let me do it) but that was a fluke. If you need to take an OTA then you will have to use SU to unroot and then update-> root again. Just make sure the new OTA is still rootable. Rooting it's safe if you know what you are doing. I have used IORoot, and StumpRoot without issues.
hmm
Ok and won't my root dissapear if I reboot the device? (with the towellroot method?)
Because, I heard an youtube video, that said you don't need to reboot ur device once you run the apk to root...
It means you dont have to reboot after installing towel root.
It does mean you cant OTA after root generally any method period.
It doesnt mean you cant reboot after towelroot. Root will be there after reboot.
Confusing? Your post too.
please hit thanks if i helped in any way. send from my g3 d852 beast

Sorry. I was doing the towelroot method and it said my device isnt supported? Which method shall I use? I'm using international version 32Gb..
Purple drake i think its called.
It in the g3 development section.
To be honest: i have this phone for a month now and never had the need to root it. All my other phones were rooted same day or when available.

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4(SGH-M919) with TMobile.
The android version is 4.4.4. Since i am still in the contract with TMobile,
the phone is locked with that carrier. (Btw, does this mean i have. a locked bootloader automatically??..but.i.found some on the net saying... Tmobile doesnt put locked bootloader??)
I tried to root this phone with towelroot, but it says it is not supported.
So i found an article saying this phone can be rooted by cf-auto-root with odin.
before i try, i would like ti ask something.
1. it says if the phone has locked bootloader, this rooting procedure can make the phone
brick. how do i check whether i have locked bootloader or not?
i havent installed any custom ROM .. i havent tried to root the phone other than towelroot.
Btw, i just went to download menu, though i didnt go further from there.
i saw "Write Protectiom : Enabled" ...does this mean i have locked bootloader phone?
Thanks
You don't have locked bootloader. You can use cf-auto-root just remember that you will trip your Knox flag. Other than that, there is no side effects as far as performance in hardware or software
The only root method I could get to work was CF Autoroot flashing with Odin. Just make sure you have the correct version for the T-Mobile SGH-M919. I don't believe SuperSu was included with the root. You need SuperSu installed after you get rooted. When apps want to access root files SuperSu will not allow that access w/o your permission. It's free and available on Playstore.

In regard to what OTISDOG said about the rooting, I have a MetroPCS branded M919N. I use firmware for both T-Mobile and Metro on the phone with absolutely no issues. Rooting the phone with CF-AutoRoot was a quick and painless process. Reason I rooted? To get rid of all the bloat on the phone. My battery lasts longer and is more responsive in general. I asked the reps at a local store if I would have a problem if I needed my phone to be serviced under warranty. He told me that none of his rooted customers had problems getting their phones fixed under warranty unless the phone was running a custom rom or recovery like CyanogenMod or TWRP. Your mileage may vary by your location and/or store visited.

All I see are options that require me to unlock the bootloader (lose warranty completely) or use Kingroot (borderline malware and is only temporary).
Is there no way to root MM yet that doesn't include the above?
I want to remove so much crap Virgin Mobile put on my phone and block ads. I mean they put Mcafee Security on my phone and it doesn't allow me to disable it.
Take a look at this page on this thread. The first two post on the page are what you need to root. I would have rooted mine but i await autorec for D852G marshmallow, all other versions are available. i believe your device version will be avaialble. So currently i am temp rooted with king root.
If you worry about king root being malware then simply install droidwall and block it from having access to the internet after you root.
Which device do you use.
the annoying thing is, to root the lg g3 mm you need to unlock the bootloader, and to unlock the bootloader you need to root... so am like what kind of messed up situation is that. Currently no developers are showing much support for rooting the LG G3. wish i dint buy the device

I could live without titanium backup i guess.
Im using d852 with no g.
But the best ad blockers all need root
Gues im stuck waiting for the warrenty to expire and doing it anyway.
I tried flashing back to 5.0 using flashtool, but i got so many problems and errors, i bricked my phone twice.so when i finally got back to 6.0 I just said screw it.
I guess that it's impossible to extract the exploit which kingroot uses? I am looking for root d855 without kingroot and I see that it doesn't exist...
Just tried the 1 click with MM, script said fail, phone says do not unplug, flashing firmware, 0%, unsure what to do now...
I pulled battery and all is fine.. guess a sg update is in order...
I've tried what seems to be every single exploit available for the G3 to get root. IOroot, PurpleDrake, OneClickRoot both GUI and script and the manual way.
They all seem to complete succesfully but none of them installs SuperSU and when i try Root Checker i get denied.
I have tried KingRoot and it gives me full root, but would rather stay away from it as it seems dodgy and installs unwanted software.
What other options do I have? Downgrade to KitKat?

Yes, a downgrade to kit kat and re-rooting would work if you have the time to do so.
Or you can try kingroot again and then use this guide to replace kingroot with supersu... http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/replace-kingroot-superuser-guide-t3251013
Hi. I am about to purchase a Huawei Mate SE and wanted to know if there is a way to root without unlocking the bootloader. It looks like Kingroot and/or Kingoroot might be an option. I'm not new to rooting phones so I understand most of the basics. From what I read, I won't be able to install a custom recovery and therefore can't install custom ROMs which is fine. I mainly want root for apps like Titanium Backup and Greenify. I don't want to lose the ability to OTA. Is this possible? Thanks in advance for the help.
Kingroot and kingoroot are hot piles of garbage on oreo, and nougat. Pretty sure it only works up to lollipop.
Only way to root is to flash Magisk, and that requires an unlocked bootloader.
Dang. That sucks. Thanks for the response though
no need to install a custom recovery to get root. unlockbootloder densest effect ota. after u unlock ur bootloader you can flash a patch kernel that has Magisk

I just ordered this phone also. You should be able to get your bootloader unlocked with a service. See threads.
I sure hope so. Cause i plan on doing some stuff with this device.
Unlocking the bootloader is not difficult, but then there is a stupid bootloader unlocked warning that comes every time the phone restarts. And supposedly there is no way to turn it off for Huawei phones
