I just bought this D851 and I am with Wind Mobile in Canada. I have tried rooting in all the ways I've researched online. Youtube has several methods none have seemed to work for me. I've had many rooted phones and flashed many ROMS with those phone. I'm no pro but I know what I'm doing basically. I just cannot figure out how to root this phone. Any help or solutions to this would be very helpful and appreciated.
Assuming the phone is running LP, and you've already tried the one-click method, then use the second 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
Thanks I'll try it out. I have v20g and Lollipop 5.0.1. Purple Drake and Towel root did not work.

Hello all,
I have recently purchased the AT&T LG G3 (D850 model) and I am interested in rooting it.
I have noticed that there seem to be three main option for doing this:
Stump Root, IORoot, and Towel Root.
Since this is a brand new phone, I was wondering if I could get some advice on what the best and safest way of rooting my device will be.
Thanks for any replies!
I think stump root is now the easiest way to root. Just install the apk and follow directions, install super su from play store and your good to go.

I just purchased my AT&T G3 last week and Towelroot is the easiest I was done within a minute. No problems so far.
I used stump root. Downloaded the app..followed directions. Easy as pie...

Ok, thanks for the replies, it looks like I will be using stump root to root my phone.
I just had a couple more questions.
First, I was wondering what can I use to achieve a custom DPI on the phone once I root it? There aren't any ROMs for the D850 so it won't be in any ROM,
Next, if I transfer my Titanium Backup data from my last phone to this one, can I restore my apps and appdata with it?
Thank you!
I'm trying to root my LG G3 but there are no root methods for an LG G3 running marshmallow. I have tried One-Click methods like ioroot, towelroot, and kingroot, but for some reason, my device just won't get root access. Now, im trying to downgrade the system and try out the various root methods available. Can anyone can point me to a good tutorial on how to downgrade the system? I have the T-Mobile D851 model but on At&t network.
Thanks.

Hello, as you can see in the title, I need help rooting my G3. I tried multiple ways like purple drake, kingoroot, and king root and all 3 didn't work. Is there another way I can root my phone without like downgrading it or anything? Thanks!
I need help rooting my LG G3. I can't get the one-click root to work, stump root, purpledrake, ioroot, and just about every other app I could find. Any suggestions? I have an LG VS985 4G VZW VS9854CA

Take a look at this first if there is not k in your variant then you can downgrade. https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/help/vs9854ba-root-downgrading-t3575145
If your variant does not have a K then downgrade then root and then install what you want.

Hi,
I've been trying to find a way to root my LG G3 since yesterday, yet none of the methods I had found proved to work on my device.
I tried to follow this tutorial, but got a "FAIL" message: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
Same thing happened when I used an automatic script: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...t-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951/page1
I also tried to root using KingRoot, but it didn't support my device : https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/root-twrp-marshmallow-d855-30b-t3286268
It seems like my device can't be rooted. Any ideas?
Model: D855
Software version : V30d
Android : 6.0 (stock)
Hi,
Downgrade to V30b then use Kingroot.
Ok,
So after downgrading to V30b, I tried to follow the KingRoot method. Unfortunately, the rooting process failed each time at about 70%. I used version 4.5.6, as used in the tutorial. I also tried to install a newer version from the official site, but that app didn't even offer to try to root my device.
Edit:
I was really frustrated, and decided hopelessly to follow your instructions over again. This time it worked. I flashed the kmz again, rooted using KingRoot, and kept going. Thank you so much!
