So Friday i went to verizon and bought me a new LG G3 phone, 32G memory 3G RAM, you know the good **** LOL. Well when i got home i wanted to root the phone but when i looked it up there was many options, IOROOT, TowelRoot, and Stump Root. So i tried towel root on the phone but when i clicked the button towel root said my device isnt compatible and my phones build is the VS98510B. So at that point i decided to try IOROOT. When i launched the batch file i made sure i made myself a developer, got the proper drivers, made it connect via usb and set the phone connection to Ethernet. Well in the batch file it said everything was good and that i just needed to click any button to continue well i did that but when i clicked a button it simply closed the batch file. All i clicked was the space bar and it closed. Stump root isnt compatible and im afraid to use bruteforce mode. Any one got any help with this? Andriod Kitkat 4.4.2
Use the brut force method in stump. Takes about 5 minutes.

So when i root it do i need to back up anything? Ive heard of whats called TWRP but idk what that is
I used stump root. My phones still works. You can't install twrp because bootloader is still locked, have to wait for a way to unlock it.

Read a bit here TWRP is a recovery and backup software for when you flash a custom ROM.. You're not flashing any custom ROMs just yet.. So... I don't think you need to backup anything just yet. After you root the phone you can use TWRP to backup your current stock ROM .. Good luck ..
:good:
I used ioroot with no problems. Check out this vid, pretty straight fwd on what you need to do.

My pleasure Hope you can find root using the desired software.. I'm in Korea..using the F400k but the latest update (v10l) couldn't find root using any of the available tools.. so.. I had to downgrade to the previous (v10g) and got root again. :victory:

This has ALWAYS worked well for me (Besides with the latest version update)... But I don't know if it would work on your device.. Try what you have. If all fails then give this a shot

No kdz is available. Your best bet to return to stock is a nandroid backup or one of the stock based ROMs timmytim posted in the development section.
Hard Bricked my lg gpad v410 was stuck in a loop couldn't even get recovery. Caused from using the odex att 4.42 then tried updating with twrp recovery still installed. All I could get was the twrp recovery when rebooted. Next tried stock recovery, bad move, stuck in a bootloop of the lg logo. Recovery gone, reset did not work, download mode worked though.
Used the lg offline mobile tool and found uk41011a.kdz Yay unbricked. Problem is though, its an AT&T tablet with us cellular firmware. My Sim card is now unreadable since it is an att Sim.
Any ideas?
bethnesbitt hey! I really need that us cell kdz can you post it? please? lol

Can you root and edit the build.prop through es root explorer, and change provider from US cellular to ATT and then change the APN setting?

I used lg flashtool 2014 to flash the uk41011a_00.kdz. That did the trick, then I was able to flash the V41007h_0.kdz after that.
Wifi works, will not read your simcard.

Thanks Thank U and thanks again, I have been searching.
So once I flash the demo I use the same method to flash over the demo by reentering download mode?
Have U been able to update and what are U currently running?
Download
Mine is bricked hard so right now its a paperweight. If you use the UK might be able to work unlocking the bootloader. Just turn off tab, hold, either just vol up or vol down, cant remember exactly then hook to PC. In fastboot do OEM unlock.
If using att then the v41007h will work with your att sim. If its a vzw tab, then get the vzw stock kdz. If its a att tab the vzw doesn't work right, wouldn't waste the effort. I tried and it asked for a PW with the vk kdz flash.

To get fastboot I take it I have to be rooted?
Looking into that now, I bought this tablet with 5.0 rooted with Kngroot and when I ran Super Su that's what bricked Me to here.
This US Cellular from isn't bad can I use their network now?(not a fan of AT&T)
I thought I saw a post that had the actual AT&T kdz however if U say I can unlock the bootloader on here I will stay. Or did U mean sim unlock?

Same issue here. Trying to go back to stock and no luck. I did the debug kdz after the stock rom I tried did an OTA update and got stuck in TWRP. Installed the same stock ROM, flashed stock recovery, and unrooted. Still every time I try the OTA, it tells me I am suspected of rooting. At least it doesn't get stuck in TWRP anymore. There has to be some kind of efuse in this tablet. If not, I still have no idea what I need to get rid of to do the OTA update and get Lollipop.
It's a good cell phone but loose a lot of potential with all this "system-garbageware".

Did you try KingRoot? (Not kingO) It worked fine with mine K420N.
Yes. Didn't get even close, even with OEM unlocked mode in dev settings.
ive used kingroot to root mines which it did but the thing is after installing L speed and Root booster i ended up with a Boot verifcation fail, i don't know exactly whether or not the problem was caused by Kingroot or by the other two apps

I just got my new K10 and iRoot did not work, so I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 and it can at least disable the applications, so root is not so badly needed.
I have the T-Mobile 428 version, I have tried KingRoot, KingoRoot, iRoot, StumpRoot, LG One Click Root and Framaroot on this phone and nothing. I also tried a root method from a dev in XDA, just can't remember the name. It would be nice to have root on this device.
KingRoot 4.5.3 question Aptoide tells me I'm rooted
Upgrade to 4.8.3 will tell I'm not rooted need help

You got it wrong bro most of LG devices specially those running on Android M doesn't support "one click root". Lg K10 can be root by using adb, twrp, and super su package. Using commands in cmd will play a major role.
Follow this thread and look for its 1st page.

you need unlocked bootloader and only tmobile have it and some european h815. for 6.0
you can root it if on lollipop. but again, you need to know if you can downgrade to lollipop. theres antirollback versions. on mine i cant there V1 V2 V3 am currenly on V3 so i cant roll back to V2. or V1. doing so will hard brick phone.
but you need to search or ask in sprint section, if you can. not all phones has antirollback restricted.. am pretty sure ive seen some beign at 6.o and atirollback is 0.
to chekc what version you are. search your phone hidden menu . enter it on dialer and go to software scroll all the way down and it says antirollback version..

I recently bought an AT&T G8 on eBay and no matter what I try, I can't update it. It's still on the factory update. I've had an activated AT&T SIM in it for several days, tried using other SIMs, factory resetting a few times, but I still get the same error that says it can't update or there's just no update. I've tried calling tech support there and going into a store, but they were out of ideas too. Does anyone have a link to any update to try installing or any ideas for how to get it to update?

That's my understanding as well. I'm getting the run around from at&t, cricket, and LG with them pointing the finger at each other playing the blame game. Seriously annoying... The G8 is a beast but if it's like this I might just stick with my pixel 3a. I appreciate the info though from everyone.

so has anyone flashed this firmware manually via LGUP to their AT&T g8 and was successful? does everything get wiped?
So I've bought a couple of these att LG g8. The problem was that I am on cricket so no updates. This has been a fool proof way I've found to get the updates moving.
I put in an activated (I didn't add any money to my att account) att sim, 10 bucks from Walmart. I issue a factory reset and skip all setup (except connecting to WiFi). Check update as soon as I am through setup. If it works great ,if not repeat. It's worked on 3 phones so far.
