Rooting my LG G3 D855 - can't seem to find a way! - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I have recently tried rooting my LG G3. I have tried LG One Click Root and Stump, to no effect.
Recently I tried PurpleDrake and I got the message:
*** ERROR: Your phone is not running a compatible software version. No vulnerable mode detected, rebooting phone, we tried to temproot you, and it didn't work, This phone isn't vulnerable, it would appear, Please post on XDA with your phone model, carrier, and SW version in the PurpleDrake thread and someone will take a look.
Your phone has been rebooted back to normal systemmode, no changes have been made, Thanks for trying! ****
Android Version => 5.0
Phone Model => LG-D855
sw_version=> v20t-EUR-XX
I'm really a noob at this, so any kind of help would be appreciated!

I find that the method discussed in the thread titled "Newest Root Method for LG devices" by digital-bug consistently works for every D855 firmware version (including yours). He lists there two methods. Try the first option using the "one-click script".

[Q] Lg P930 LTE I bricked my phone?

Lg P930 LTE I bricked my phone?
hi guys
i tried to flash my p930 but now I'm stacked with "LG Optimus LTE" custom logo. When i use KDZ_FW_UPD.exe i always have the same error line in the program like
Model Dll Msg Not found2004,
my problem is i don't have any original backup
can you help me guys?
thanks
sorry for my english
i tried this method
"" Please try KDZ_FW_UPD.exe instead of UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe.
1)install the software below:
msxml.msi
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN36AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3. 6.exe
B2CAppSetup.exe (This one will automatically run LG updating after installation)
2)Quit LG updating program.
3)Run "Windows Enabler.exe", a small icon will display on your computer's right-bottom corner,click it, it will enable KDZ_FW_UPD.exe's buttons.
4)Press volume+ and power botton when you phone is off to enter "Download Mode", connect the phone with your computer.
Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe, Choose:
type:3GQCT
phonemode:CS_EMERGENCY
and select your rom:LU620128_00.kdz (version 128 rom)
Click "launch software update"
Flash begins, please be patient, your phone will automatically reboot when the progress reaches 94, then shortly, it will reach 100, all done."
I don't understand why you guys keep using the LU6200 kdz to try to unbrick your P930 or where you're finding the forum post that is telling you to do this, but it is not meant for our phone. In fact, it is probably what is ****ing up your phones. There is literally only one good unbricking guide for the P930 and it's right here on the front page in LG Nitro General Discussion by Machzelet. It's an updated version of my old unbricking guide that doesn't work anymore due to updates to the LG update tool. You might have permabricked your phone unless you can still get into download mode. I suggest reading the whole thread I just linked you to and don't even follow the first post. Find the posts about the Nitro .TOT file and the LG flasher tool and see if you can flash yourself back to a working phone that way. If you have any questions, ask them in that thread. Having 100 different unbricking threads isn't helpful.

More details about errors you get when you try to root please?
Are you sure you tried all solutions before posting ?or,when you failed on first try you came here?

1.make sure you have the drivers installed.
2.use rear usb port,not frontal or usb hub.
3.make sure usb debug and allow mock locations are checked.
4.follow the steps correctly,as explained on root thread.
5.if it failed on one computer,try on another,following 1-4.i have a friend who couldn't root because of faulty windows.
6.use search button,it has been discused.
7.only after 5 and 6 failed,ask.this way we keep a clean forum,without having same questions asked over and over again.

Rooted now
Ok, i tried the Motochopper and it worked fine at the first try. Used Freegee to unlock bootloader after that.
@kimitza no errors appeared, at the part thatthe program displayed "if iud=0 then root" mine was on "uid=2000 Shell" and then after i hitted continue it uploaded the apk and display on command terminal showed result as "you are now root". Wich was not true. I kept trying, activated the adb daemon manually, forced it to shutdown (kill), retried. Phone rebooted and everything was as expected but the "uid=0" Used another computer with same result. Motochopper did the Job at first try.

Kingroot 4.1 failed for me on D85120g with the message, "Root Failed no strategy now". It looked promising at first as it had a root now buttom but root checker says no root access.

Can i root my lg g4 with this version? And how?
Sure. Perfectly. At least two different ways. If you do not need and care about device encryption just search for the low effort root in this LG G4 Forum original Android Development. Search for a flashable 10C rom.
If you need device encryption, go to LG unlock your bootloader officialy, flash TWRP and flash su.
Thread for this is right here in General G4. Called complete Guide to unlock & Flash H815 or similar.

Hi, unfortunately this happened to me (more than once) when I tried rooting the first time. You'll need to download the stock image files and the LG Flash Tool to start over from scratch. I'd link you but I don't have enough posts yet to be able to.
The trick is to make sure the rooted image file is over 4 gigs when extracted, I ran into issues multiple times where the download got corrupted along the way and ended up being a few hundred meg. Keep trying and once you get the right files the Low Effort Root is amazing.
Good luck and if you need any more help please let me know!

Help save a bricked lg g3

:crying:
My issues is quite complicated. Please be patient and read on.
Less than a week ago, I bought an LG G3 D855. It wasn't brand new and definitely out of warranty.
It was on the 4.4.2 Os version but I couldn't update it because I couldn't locate the UPDATE CENTER and after some research online, I found out it was because it was rooted. I couldn't find a Supersu application anywhere on the phone anyways but Root checker confirmed that it was rooted.
I downloaded the stock kitkat firmware in a .tot format and I tried flashing using LG Flash Tool for TOT but it failed because "Device version is different"
I checked the Imei online and it stated that the device is a Sprint LS990 but the details embedded in the phone all say it is D855
I checked online and found a couple of posts about this error and one user said he was able to fix it by flashing the actual Sprint .tot with the lg flash tool. I tried that but it didn't work. It still said "Device version is different. Check BIN or dll"
I checked online and found results pointing to a generic .dll file for G3s and I downloaded it but when I used it on the Flash tool, it resulted to an error "CrossDL blah blah"
So I found a Marshmallow kdz file. LGUP won't see my device model so I was able to flash it after editting the software in my build.prop to D85510n.
***I have always changed the port to COM41 in all the steps I used
The LG UP detected my model and it flashed to 100% but got stuck on a bootloop by loading the lg screen, freezing and restarting by it self. It never gets to the homescreen.
I downloaded lollipop kdz reflashed using LGUP in a form of downgrade and it got to 100% and got stuck at the lg screen while trying to reboot.
I redownloaded the stock kitkat rom and used the Lg flash tool but it failed. It said 'PID null IMEI Null"
I used LGUP to reflashed. It came to my understanding that the LGUP can flash both kdz and tot. So it flashed to 100% but got stuck at the lg screen and I have tried all I can but it is stuck. It can go into download tho. I don't know what to do about the IMEI. I don't know if the last flash retrieved it. I don't kniw what to do.
It no longer shows as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial
Please can anyone help me?
I just need my phone to work again. I was stubborn and now I regret it. I should have just stuck to kitkat. I'm so desperate to get my phone working that I wouldn't mind Android Froyo Os if it was ever possible.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Folks.
Got the same problem now (with my wife's phone). I'd appreciate it if instead of helping people privately you'd tell everyone what to do to fix the problem.
I had the same problem, downloaded .tot file via IMEI check (can't remember where from) and used that .tot file with BoardDiag, flashed everything as in tutorial (google it), it was 4.4.2 Android, couldn't update it (software is up to date) so I rooted it, flashed twrp 3.0.0 and installed Fulmics 8.0, it works now just fine
