Yup!
Someone was nice enough to upload a pre-rooted 13B image.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/vs98613b-saved-image-rooted-t3258794
Complete directions to install root are in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
Remember, keep your rooted image on your phones internal storage incase something happens. You can always re-flash it. But if things go really wrong and you are already on 13B software, there is now a 13b KDZ available at the following link.

13B OTA update is ONLY for Verizon users. It will brick your phone if you try installing a different firmware on your phone than what its designed/intended.
You need to wait for your phone to get its OTA update notification. Then uninstall Xposed if you have it installed. Un-root by running KDZ for the CURRENT software version you have. Then take the OTA update. Then make your own proper system image (Step 1). Then using Ubuntu to inject root into the system image you made (Step 2). Lastly, root your phone with the rooted image you made (Step 3).
Any LG G4 can be rooted as long as you know what software version you have and can follow directions. Question I have for you is what software version do you have? Is it rooted? Do you have Xposed installed?
This thread will guide you through on how to do it, especially since you might need to make your own rooted image. Just READ all of it and FOLLOW all the directions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
If you decide to root, remember to KEEP an image on your phone in case you get stuck on a bootloop tinkering with phone. Can then easily flash that image. Especially if a current KDZ for your software is not out.
Good luck

Why would Verizon ever send an update to non verizon users? You need to have a Verizon SIM card in your phone to be detected by verizon and receive the update I believe.

Hi Fellow XDA members. I have a stock 11A Verizon LG G4 and I am not a Verizon customer (switched from Verizon to T-Mobile pay as you go plan since I do not need the data plan). When I check for system update in my phone, it says I have the latest updates already installed. What can I do to get around this issue? Can I use the 13B KDZ to update my phone software or will that brick my phone? Please help. Thanks.

There seems to be some confusion..
Basically the question here is I have a Verizon LG G4 VS986(Running stock 11a) but using it with a different SIM card and thus stuck on 11a.
So is it possible to manually flash 13b kdz to upgrade to 13b
I know I am asking it again but just want to be sure as there are 2 opinions here in the thread.

That is good to know. Someone else posted on another forum saying they tried it, were having problems and it did not work. But glad to see it does. I think he and a few others thought it made sense that 13B KDZ is a full package that would update kernel and bootloader to latest version no matter the previous software version, but wanted to play it safe and not brick anyones phone.

You will get the updates but you might not be able to install them via your phone. If you use lg pc suite on your pc you will be able to update and then root again afterwards.

More than likely, but it might also mess up your root.
So, you might want to deactivate the OTA updates and wait for whoever did your root to read/examine the OTA update and work it into their next root update.

Good to hear it hasn't caused any problems for you!
I'm with the 851 variant and I know with the thread for PurpleDrake T-Mo rooting, thecubed mentioned the OTA's and how they might affect root and to just wait on any OTA updates until they could get a read on them and work them into their root.
But, I'm not sure if that was specific to the 851 or so.

Some keep root and some don't, seems like a lottery. Also if you do lose root you will probably have to use purple Drake to root.

Sounds good -- Now would I loose any of my app data or anything like that in this process, even if i loose root? or would it just upgrade, loose root, then I re-root it with PurpleDrake as you explained?
AFAIK LG blocks OTA installs (it will download and you'll have that annoying notification however) if you're rooted, I could be wrong though.

it seems that you are unable to downgrade the bootloader simply by reflashing an earlier KDZ.
There are some reports of successful downgrading via the TOT method though.
My strong advice will be to not do anything until we get the announcement from the Bump! team later today.

Thx man.. I got it..
I was wondering if there was some method for rooting the LG G3 on Android 5.0 (Lollipop). I've searched far and wide on the internet but have found nothing so far. I did see that there were methods for the Nexus devices but nothing for LG.
Would like this as well. I thought I could live a while without root.. Seems like I just can't. :crying:
I think that you can find already rooted lollipop version on the forum.
For now, i nowhere found any root options.
Sent from my LG-D855
now it's impossible to root lollypop via purpledrake, ioroot or other programs but you can flash a rooted bumped rom.
I'll wait for this.
Same situation here.
Planned to use the pre-rooted lollipop but to use it you need twrp on the phone. To get twrp you need first root. So its a dead end, a points on b and b points back on a, both needing the other present first.....
Maybe if you flash an older kdz, root it with any of the previous methods, then get twrp on the phone and then flash the pre-rooted lollipop. Im just gonna wait for a lollipoproot without twrp needed.

I am on 5.0 and tried purpledrake (since i used it with 4.4.2), but it did not work, i also tried Stump and got an error too. With 5.0 the structure has changed and the methods for KK are different to Lollipop. So far, even with Nexus, the only way to root is through bootloader/kernel.
Hopefully soon we will see a method that can bypass this.

There are a couple ways. Someone posted a program that unlocks to where you can select your provider and it puts the APN and such working.
But you would have to use the lg flash tool to tot to stock. There are threads all over on how to do it
Then side load it. And run the one click root. And use the program.

From below linked thread get the 24C MM KDZ file and use LGUP PC utility linked in that thread to flash the KDZ using UPGRADE option unless you want to wipe your phone, in which case use the REFURBISH option:
