Hello,
First sorry for that thread. I'm be a stranger to LG devices and I' m confused and not sure that I pick the right ansers from each threat.
Device: LG G3, 32 GB, V10F-TUR-XX
I' m really very new to LG's rooting process. Before I' used HTC and Samsung devices. I rooted and made a lot of things with my Samsung Note 2. Now give it away and purchased me the LG G3.
LG Rooting procedures are confusing and scaring me .
I' ll be very appreciated if someone could answer the questions below.
So far I see there are many rooting tools for the device. Which one is the proper one for my device. How do I know to choose the right one. I hope the device specs I mentioned above are enough.
What are exactly the differences between the rooting tools.
Are there locking mechanisms of the Kernel like on Samsung. Is it possible to lose the EFS partition like on Samsung devices.
Are there some codes like Samsung's KNOX.
Am I able to go back to the unrooted state.
Thanks in advance

You may want to ask the moderators to move this to Q&A before you get flamed.
There is a root tripper.
I'd check out Purple Drake. It should work for all variants. I/O root may work for your variant though.
There is an EFS backup tool, I suggest you use it.
You can unroot if necessary. Or just flash the appropriate tot/dll files.

Not a problem. This is my first LG device as well. I've just had the time to read through everything. Thought it'd be best before I start messing with stuff

This is my second LG. Before I used LG Optimus but was not in the rooting business. I let my Note 3 untouched . I started rooting Samsung devices with my Note 2. So far I see rooting Samsung devices is much easier than the LG devices.
By the way thank you again. But I still not feeling ready to root my LG G3 :laugh:

No No. Rooting will be fine I think.
I only worry about to unroot the device to its original state.
This is important for me to get newer versions of the device's software. (Android's nwer versions like 4.5 or greater).
Thanx.
Hey guys, i got the beautiful LG Optimus G Pro and would like to root it and use custom roms, but i still have warranty so before rooting my device, i want to know if i can unroot it or something so i they wont see i rooted it ??

Look through the forums. There are threads stickied as the first posts that tell you how to return your phone back to stick (ie, out of box condition). It can be done, and once done, it would be really hard to tell that you did anything at all.
Ok I have been reading a lot of Posts on Root/Root unlock boot loader. I am a little confused with all of it. I am coming from a LG G2 to the LG G4 on Verizon
If I remember, I rooted my G2 with iRoot. I am not someone that plays with roms. I am only interested in rooting my phone so I am able to use Hot Spot if needed, and a few apps like Titanium Backup. As well as being able to turn off some of the bloat ware.
(Q) - Am I able to Root my phone for the things I listed? Or do I need to wait for the wonderful DEV community to be able to unlock the boot loader?
Thank you

No worries, it hasn't even been a week since it's been officially released so it will just take some time.

I do understand that. Just so much info flying around, and with work and everything else, just not enough time to read all of it.
It is good to see people are working on cracking the egg so to speak.
I love root. It is pretty important to me. I have rooted every device I have ever owned (and many for many people). I value things like:
1. using deeper control of Tasker (GPS, airplane mode, etc.)
2. using deeper control of Root Explorer file manager
3. Using a root run firewall to block data access (versus VPN if no root)
4. Running AdAway to kill every conceivable ad I can from apps to websites (XDA is terrible w/ ads for example)
5. using root based exploits of other apps like Lightflow or backup utilities or call blocking tools (since you can only do 10 SMS/phone # blocks on VZW and they only last 90 days)
6. using root apps to freeze and delete bloat
7. and of course, having something like CWM or TWRP
8. Xposed!
With Verizon, I have watched it become more and more of a PITA. But I loved the specs of this phone so much, I took the leap praying root will come to us without any loss or damage of native functions.
So assume the exploit used by current AIO LG root tool is closed on the G4.

A simple search of "G4" in that thread reveals this answer...
No.
New G4 lacks ability to run scripts from this COM prompt. Still a work in progress

It's not Verizon related or capable - which is why we are here, in this thread, about..... Verizon
So, my parents just got me my 1st phone and I'm looking to root and get custom ROMS but unfortunately I haven't been able to find much on doing either of those things on my phone, however I did try the low effort root on here but with no success, when i type id in the terminal window after connecting to the DIAG1 port (yes I tried the other ports) it simply reads back fail and absoloutly NOTHING on bootloader unlock. Even if you can only can tell me how to do one of these things it would be great. My model is a LG G4 H810 (AT&T). Thanks in advance. Also, sorry I'm kind of a Android newb

ask before you do anything or youll brick phone..
Is there any working and safe root for ms428 (k10 metrocps variant)?
I have been looking everywhere. Tried kingoroot but still no go.
I am starting to get frustrated
I'm giving one more week then exchanging it. I too am surprised there's no root method out yet. I bricked and exchanged a device already. No success trying to recover the device either using the Spanish screenshot disaster explanation which doesn't work.

I would say LG Stylo is closest but the camera isn't as good. Lens and size is nice but hardware processing is crap, but seems like every store has been on back order for them and with Stylo 2 out it's probably going to be shelved soon. I have faith in King root for solid success with k10 soon though.

We cant even use link2sd. This phone has 16gb rom but can let us use only 10gb. Smh.
No 3d games for us. And were not even allowed to mount the sd card as internal storage. Only portable.
Maybe the Galaxy J. I loved the Stylo but the GPS didn't work if the phone got hot.
I just got this pjone today because my old one broke and i had no way to research phones
Guy at metro over hyped it
Someone said there is an sd slot well where is it
And no root i even asked yhe ghy if i could root ot he said ya
Pissed

Well, I can answer one of your questions. The sd card slot over laps the sim card slot.
We're all patiently waiting for root, my friend.

my patience is running out tho hahaha. 8gb worth of system files is crazy. they shouldve just put it as 8gb phone internal. instead of 16gb haha.
I'm running out of patience also. I've posted requests on android forums twice asking why there is no support for this phone and still haven't gotten a reply. It makes no sense whatsoever, when I got my old L70 there was a big support forum for it and the LgK10 is a much better phone so why no support? Pissing me off.
At least I would like a reason from Android Forums for why they have ignored the K10.

I'd buy the L70 again. It was an awesome little phone. Totally agree re: lack of communication. It looks like we had someone post up a failed root attempt about two weeks ago, along with another dev mentioning he'd start on it with no response since.
Devs, we just want to know if there's someone out there actively working on the K10. I can absolutely respect the time it takes to get it done right, but we can't tell if we're waiting on someone or no one.
I'm about ready to jump ship for the J7 or an original G Stylo (if I can get my hands on one). The bloat and stock setup on the K10 are maddening.
Can temp obtain root
I can get root temp using kingroot
Usjng the latest version of kingroot and will either root, or fail all the way to the request research for root button
I lose the root as soon as my phone restarts
The first time I tried it I got root, and phone made no restarts.
The second time I tried to get root back it eventually failed all the way to the research screen but the device did reboot several times during the kingroot root.
The latest time I rooted it the same as the first, no reboot.
I believe part of the problem is keeping kingroot as the superuser app, I think if I replace it with super su it may keep root.
I've seen several people say supersu ends up brick phone

Ive read the thread. Im not sure i follow tho.
Were suppose to install twrp first before we gain root access?
So that method is a flashable method then?

I am but it looks like we may be screwed without any sort of help from the forums folks. It just doesn't make sense that they would bypass giving this phone any consideration for support.
