cant root lg g 3 d851 , unlocked t mobile - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
just picked up this phone lg g3 d851 t mobile unlocked , when recieved this the software was on lolipop 5.0 and when i reset my phone , the updated software downloaded 5.0.1. I have tried for the last 3 hours trying to root this thing. I have installed the lg drivers, t mobile drivers and tried to root with , purpledrake lite , i get a error saying that my that i am running incompatible software version,so then saids returning back to normal mode , no change, i wanted to find the full version of purpledrake ,but could not find that anywhere ,
tried kingroot , saids unsupported, tried stump root , saids not supported . any suggestions would be great would suck if cant get this rooted cause i really want to install cygogenmod 12 , heard the software is great and good battery . thanks for your time. I tried lg one click root. look like was going to rooted , went through the list and said was done, when i rebooted the phone installed root checker , saids i have not rooted.

Hey mate... The t mobile version of the g3 is the easiest one to root because it comes with factory unlocked bootloader... Go to the g3 tmobile section...

Just type G3 in find a device, you'll see t-mobile g3 android development... Purpledrake lite is just for other variants of the g3...

Hi there,
If I'm correct, you can't use an official OTA when rooted, so you'll either have to go back to stock (there are multiple tutorials in the General forum)or wait for someone here on XDA to create flashable zip for your model.
Or just use PC Suite to do an update.
Hello to everyone, i use a long time android device's, but first time using LG, as "jhericurls" wrote , that we can use PCsuite for updates. My question is about.
If we use PCsuite to install updates, will the phone loose root and let's say be like stock, (in my case phone rooted with phildrake* and has stock recovery)
*phildrake-i am currently on the phone and not shure that is the name of utility used for root.

If you update with the pcsuite you lose root so far i know you can root it again.

I hesitated but not long, updated through PCsuite, i lost root and made me a problem that Google play services were gone "removed" from my phone, had to do hard reset and use purple drake again which worked with no problem.

root (stump) , re-root (IOROOT), BUMP, TRWP,
Rooted with STUMP initially just fine. Then had to factory reset due to a malfunctioning app.
Stump does not (yet) support re-root after reset unless you flash back to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
Thanks for all the helpful posts in several threads. I Rooted using IOROOT, using ADB no problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2776198
Now running BUMP TRWP recovery too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...pment/bump-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-verizon-t2900590
BUT, since i'm somewhat of a n00b, i used Flashify from the Google Play store to flash the image. Worked flawlessly. http://www.droidforums.net/threads/...ock-and-install-recovery-on-any-lg-g3.275056/
(in flashify, pick 'choose file' and navigate to the .IMG file)
Thanks!!

My phone does NOT work so I'm not sure why the change log states 12B.
What was upgraded, fixed, etc from 10B to 12B? Not really a fan of downgrading.

You will have to unroot if you want to install the update.
Think you may have to disable xposed also, one the update is done, you can root again and enable xposed again.
If anything goes wrong, you can always download a stock rom from one of the threads, which includes the update you are taking about and flash it yourself with flash tool 2014.
The most important thing to always remeber is to flash things that are made for the same model of your phone.

G-Pad 10.1 Verizon Return to Kitkat (VK700)

Hi, All. Ive followed XDA for a long time and love it. I love my verizon G-Pad but ever since the Lollipop update it has just been so slow and almost unsuable. Well ive got good news. Today i found a way to downgrade back to LG Official Kitkat 4.4.2.
Tool Used: LG Flash Tool 2014 - you can download from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
I could only get this to work from LG's Download Mode (with tablet turned off, hold the Vol Up Key and plug in USB cord)
If you are running version 23A Lollipop you must downgrade to 22A first. Attempting to downgrade straight to 11A (Kitkat) will fail at 57% restore.
After downgrading to 22A, allow the device to fully boot then shutdown and return to download mode
Now push 11A firmware, everything should now go smoothly (at least it did for me)
Firmware Download and LG Flash Tool Bundled

Many Many thanks to the Devs of the LG Flash Tool for such a wonderful utility on LG Devices
tutorial?
How do I downgrade to 22a?
In the Firmware download link I've provided is the 22a and 11a firmwares. Follow the LG Flash Tool link for usage.

Hey man gotta question, my pad was on lollipop and only rooted with no real tweaks and I rebooted one day and it sticks at the Verizon logo. I can get to stock recovery where any selection goes to fastboot where any selection goes to a blank screen where I have to kill it. The couple others I've seen with this problem had success with the support tool / update recovery deal but mine says everything is up to date. I tried flashtool with a kdz and I get all the way to it supposed to send it but the tab download stays at 0% and nothing happens....I would rather have kk anyway would it be worth trying this , **** can't hurt the damn thing no worse lol tired of it sitting in my dresser where its been for months ...I really wonder wtf happened to it
EDIT...... OK I feel like a real dumbass lmao... Apparently the pc I was using had an Antivirus on it and apparently the flash tool doesn't play well with an Antivirus
OK has anyone found a twrp that will flash correctly on the vk700? The twrp floating around for gpad 10.1 only works on the v700 cuz its been bumped To work on the locked bootloader....

Does anyone know if it works on v700 ?

Well this downgrade is for vk700 not v700 which is a big difference, I found that out by trying to get twrp to work on my vk700 when it's only for v700 which if you have the v700 your better off
