So i am having problems with my LG G3. I recently purchased a Blue LG G3 off ebay for verizon. It works perfectly with verizon and shortly after having it i accidentaly updated it to 5.1. I really wanted to root it but cant find a root tool anywhere that works. I have tried a TON. One of them even bootlooped my phone and about gave me a heart attack
Another thing that is interesting is when i go into firmware update mode down at the bottem is says MODIFIED in red letters... What does this mean? it said this before i tried any root tools. If anyone has any idea of tools i could try id love to know. I tried to downgrade the thing with LGflashtools using TOT and that didnt work. Then i tried kdz and almost bricked my phone. I was using appropiate files for both. Each time i attempt root i get a #fail with everything or it just reboots..
Thanks for any help,

You can use this to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
Be sure that you have ADB enabled, otherwise it won't work.
And you can't do any ota when you are rooted.
Since your phone is running LP, if the above method doesn't work for you, use the first 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
If the first method doesn't work, the second method in the OP will. If using the second method, download and extract the attached file to the root directory... New_LG_Root_v0.1_by_dig.zip Then open a command prompt from within the extracted directory, and run the posted commands.

Hi everyone,
I have D855 INT, version TWN/TAIWAN. v20i officially released in a few days. I flashed v20i kdz file with flash tool, rom is perfect. When I try to root with One Click Root tool or DP Root, DP Tools and SEND_COMMAND script etc. all methods do not works at this time. Is there a way to root v20i? I use both v20h and v20p, I had not any root problems. How you root when you get v20i?
Thanks.

I am not getting error. SU Binary does not installed, so I could not get the root access. I think LG blocked that.
This woreked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/root-g3-pc-kingroot-t3136013
Try several times if you don't get at first
Downgrade first maybe?
I had to downgrade to my carrier's stock ROM for Kitkat and then I was able to root with the methods listed above. Then I could flash a custom recovery with Flashify and flash a nice ROM like Cyanogenmod or something. Proccess took a while as I soft bricked my phone originally haha

Thx a lot, it worked for me (the other solutions didn't work).
It failed the 1st time. After to clean it (clean recent apps), it succeed the 2nd time :good:
Then, you can do this to have SuperSU and to remove Kingroot: http://zidroid.com/how-to-get-ride-and-replace-kinguser-with-supersu-app/
(I confirm that it's ok on my LG G3 32g TWN-v20i)
Help.
Any other effective method to root LG G3 32GB D855 v20i-TWN? I Actually tried every method I could find From one click root to manual and king root. Nothing works with my phone. :crying:
How many times did you try Kingroot? It took me about 5 times to get it to work. You must also be connected to the internet. I have the exact same model and it did work after a few tries.

I tried alot of times more that 10 ans different versions of it the latest one and previous kingroot versions. What happens is that when I try to root my phone it gets stuck on 16-18% then the kingroot app closes when I try to open it again it says it failed.
Hey,
I've tried many (over four) different root methods for my LG G3 (d855) and all had the same outcome: The script will tell me that the root was successfull but the SuperSU app on my phone will tell me that no super-SU file is installed and that this is a problem. Then it closes down and I have no root access.
Is there a way to mannually install them or what am I doing wrong?
Have you already tried the 2nd method in this thread?...

Download and extract the "New_LG_Root_v0.1_by_dig.zip" file, then run the commands in the OP from an elevated command prompt, and from the directory you extracted the files to.

Yes, I tried that one too.
Post pic's of the command prompt window after running each of the commands.
Alright, thanks! I tried again and it worked. Actually with the first method.
The difference this time was that I disabled my antivirus. That worked. So if anyone has the same problems: Disable McAfee!
So anyways: Have a Great day - Cheers
Hi All! New here and looking to root my device and roll back to 30d to do so. Is there and step by steps as i downloaded thr proper drivers, lg mobile flasher, and the kdz file to perform the down grade. I found thevpost with all the links but am i supposed to just go into download mode and just flash thr kdz and go ahead with kingroot and then flash twrp using flashify as well as supersu? Its been a while i rooted my device.
Yes use KDZ to flash back D85130D then make sure your on wifi oe data .
1. Download kingroot and install
2. Dowbload LG-G3-Flasable-Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip from here. And put on root folder or phone storage . http://redirect.viglink.com/?format...&txt=LG-D85130D-Flashable.Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip
3. Download the latest TWRP for d851. Put on root of phone storage. And download SuperSu latest verison and put on root of phone storage
4. Download Banks Gapps 6.x.x.x. Put on root of phone storage
5. Dowbload and install flashify
6. Run kingroot till you are temp rooted
7. Flash twrp in flashify
8. Reboot into recovery
9. In twrp click install and install the AUTOREPACK
10. Now click back and go to install on twrp and install SuperSu.
Now once all done you are now permananet rooted on D85130D with Super Su. Also you can do the code trick to turn of OTA update google it or you can download a app called disable service and inside the app go to googleplayservices and you will see a bunch of stuff with checkmarks look for the one called systemupdateservices and un check it it will ask for root grant it . the. There you have it no more OTA
Kingroot just won't work for me at all on my LG D851. I've tried repeatedly on numerous occasions within the last 2 weeks and it's the same thing.....No Support for This Device. I have downloaded the apk from different links, direct download, mirror........I can't even remember now from what other sources besides those I used also. What am I doing wrong, it's as simple as hitting the install button (besides the google warning).
I got a G3 yesterday & tried several root methods, KingRoot (this app seems dicey to me, it adds a lot of other "stuff" that I don't want need), Stumproot (which said FAIL system is patched, and PurpleDrake method (which, after finding & rebooting phone, sat at awaiting device for 20+ minutes), and LG_root, where you had to type in the root script (also fail). I have successfully rooted my wifes G3 earlier this year (D851 same model as mine) but this one's a big PITA (ota updated to 30d MM )

Not yet, I sent the phone back & ordered another one. Will update once I get it in my hands
pls can someone help me. I would really appreciate and honor you guys. let me tell you already what s my problem
I bricked my LG g3 d855, I bought it maybe 2 or 3 days
from now. and on my previous phone I rooted them
all without any issue and install custom ROM and
recovery which called (twrp or Cwm)
so this LG g3 with running 6.0mm frmwre I tried to root
using kingroot but it was failed bcoz of updated security patch and kigroot does not support that kid of version. so I searched for another method of rooting.
then I found some forum that has the rooting process for LG g3 which I followed his procedure.
then I downloaded the same os marshmallow but lower release date maybe. kingroot does not support marshmallow with v30c up so I downgrade my LG G3 to lower marshmallow version. which is v30b.zdk files.
so the downgrading process was successfully done and flashed through lg flash tools via donwload mode.
then here it comes . so after I downgradey new lg g3
kingroot finally worked, BUT after o rooted my phone. there's still steps to follow according on the forum.
so installed kingroot.
I had to download the following files like he said.
so I downloaded the LG root file.
note: I have root access via king root
then I put lg root files on my phone Internal storage.
then run the autorecovery file which is the twrp. via file explorer
then it booted and bang it says you can now boot into twrp received
but it boot and bang turn off and dead. no power no download mode no recovery no sign of light
I tried to detect it using qhsub Qualcomm or adb fastboot but I think I miss something. computer detects my device with it power off but driver s not installed successfully. pls pls help.
It happened to me 2 days ago.
Google for "Fix hardbrick LG G3". you're gonna find multiple guides showing that you have to create a short between 2 points on the MB.
It worked pretty well for me, my G3 is now working properly.
