I rooted my G2 using ioroot several times with no problems. Here was my basic method (based off memory)
- Turn on USB Debugging
- Connect G2 to PC in Charge Only mode
- Accept RSA Key (If you haven't already)
- Run ioroot.bat
- Follow on screen instructions (newest version is a bit different and requires you to change to MTP mode then back to Charge Only)
- Let phone reboot as normal
- Check root via Root Checker or Android Terminal Emulator.
Then you should be rooted and good to go.

What update are you talking about?
Thanks for your replies. :good:
i was able to finally achieve it. Here is what i did.
--first i flashed my phone with LG flashtool (TOT methods) using stock tot of ZVA version.
-- then upgraded the ZVA rom to ZVC
-- then rooted the phone using ioroot.
-- finally it was rooted.
I used a pervious version of ioroot before i posted this thread and that version created the faulty superuser directory which prevented the newer versions of ioroot to achieve the root.

this is what i think could happen if you use the old version of it once, and then using the correct version will not even root your phone.
In order to overcome this you need to reinstall your from stock so that the faulty superuser folder gets removed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
i followed this forum to start from stock and then root the phone using ioroot25r version as mentioned earlier.
i followed the second method (the tot one).
good luck.
Since i have my LG G3 Lollipop rooted by ABD method i want to install Xposed from HERE.
To do that i need have Custom recovery but how put custom recovery without downgrade to Kitkat?

To put it simply
You cant. If you want TWRP and custom rom you have to downgrade to Kitkat to install it

Hi, first I own LG G3 D855 32gb with previously installed stock LL ANHD 8.3 rom with downgrading to KK rooting method. Today I decided to try fully root following guide from this threat given by @topet2k12001 and after clean installing LL 20H KDZ file I root it with no problem and then I decided to follow guide for installing bump¨d TWRP and aboot.img from KK witch I extracted from latest 10N KK version, only thing I did deferent is that for flashing TWRP and boot.img I used Flashify from playstore and for aboot.img I used Android terminal with commands in guide from this threat. After flashing all and turning off phone then turning it on to enter TWRP it work so I can state that TWRP is working fine, no more error, even I restore my backup (system and data) of rom ANHD 8.3 (LL) I used before this and all is working flawlessly with almost full lollipop rom except aboot.img (KK).
If you do bother to read clearly it requires you to flash the android bootloader which is a risky process since download mode function, bootloader and recovery all depend on it
If not done properly you will brick your phone. So please do not risk it and just downgrade it properly with LG Flash Tool, it will save you so much time.

Hi @itsbighead,
The "aboot.img" is the Bootloader (Android Bootloader).
The "sbl1.img" is the Secure Bootloader.
The "laf.img" is the Download Mode.
There are three (3) methods available in my thread:
1. "Kitkat Downgrade" method: this is the first method discovered/known to have custom recovery (TWRP) + root on LG G3 Android Lollipop
2. "No Downgrade" method: the reverse approach of the "Kitkat Downgrade" method
3. "Imageprep" method: it's nothing more than an automated script that combines the commands from the "No Downgrade" method. This is created to reduce the risk due to human error (typos, etc. when using the Terminal/Command Line)
The principle in the Kitkat Downgrade Method:
1. From a fully fresh/stock Kitkat, root the device
2. Install a "bump'd" (patched) custom recovery (TWRP)
3. Get a Lollipop Firmware and extract the following image files: system.img, modem.img, and boot.img
4. "Bump" (patch) the boot.img
5. Done
The principle in the No Downgrade Method:
1. From a fully fresh/stock Lollipop...
2. Get a Kitkat Firmware and extract the following image files: aboot.img, laf.img (some users nee to also download other image files like sbl1.img, rpm.img, tz.img, dbi.img, and persist.img)
3. Install a "bump'd" (patched) custom recovery (TWRP)
4. Get a Lollipop boot.img and "bump" (patch) it
5. Flash the "bump'd" boot.img, aboot.img, and laf.img
6. Done
The principle in the Imageprep Method:
1. Basically all the commands that need to be entered are automated in a script
2. Put the corresponding image files mentioned in the No Downgrade Method in the appropriate folders as per the instructions in Imageprep
3. Run the script
4. Done
So as you can see...either way, Kitkat Downgrade and No Downgrade have the same risks. The only difference is "which image files to flash", but essentially you are still flashing image files which, if done improperly, will definitely cause a "soft-brick". In any case, the problems are already anticipated and solutions already documented in the "Troubleshooting and Q&A" section of my thread.
EXTRA: as a matter of fact, it was one of your old posts that led me to understand all of these and therefore, led me to create a script. You are actually listed in the "Credits" section of my thread.

New Guide root+twrp for 5.0 by auto -scrpit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/d855-one-click-root-twrp-recovery-t3072767
Hi I was wondering if it would be possible to unlock my bootloader and install twrp because my sprint lg g3 is already rooted successfully. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a method aside from downgrading and I would like to feel safe in knowing that I have a backup. Installing a custom rom is in consideration also so you if you have any recommendations it'd be appreciated.
Thanks, Josh

Sorry to revive this thread. I was wondering that since I currently don't have the capability to unlock my bootloader, what steps would I need to take on my rooted ls990 to replace my stock messaging app with cm12's messaging app. Will it be compatible as I am running lollipop, and if there is a different build of the apk that doesn't need to be ran from the system and can be set as my default messing app please inform me.
Thanks in advance

I'm not completely positive but I've been told by some developers that I should wait it out until a method comes that is specifically known to work on ls990. I appreciate the feedback though.

for other Non-D855 there is other guides (the links are in post #11 Link).

If you don't mind me asking, how easy is it to get back to stock/unrooted on the G3?
I ask because I've had a number of devices over the years, and some have been a breeze to flash back to stock, like my Nexus 7's, and others have given me pain, like my two HTC devices. I'd want to go back to stop for OTA updates and whatnot.
Thanks!

Hi, you must install KingRoot latest version and Beta Super su 2.5.2. After this you would have enabled administrator permission.
In case of failure the update binaries in SuperSu, you must again install TWRP apps in order to install the custom recovery ( the latest version is 3.0) and finally, you must install the Supersu file (from recovery) in version 2.52 (is the one that works best on android Marhsmallow).
