I just bought my LG G3 this past weekend and I still want to experience the stock feel and get used to it. I think I'll wait a little while before I root. Maybe a month-ish...if i can hold out that long.

If I were you, I would root while you can. Verizon is notorious for patching root exploits with updates. With rooting, it doesnt wipe anything nor make any changes unless you install apps that make the changes. I would root and install SU and that would be it if I were you. Because you could wake up one morning and accidentally approve an update and then you cant root again until another exploit is found.
Rooted with TowelRoot while I was walking out of the store.

+1. Rooted before I even setup the phone.
Got the phone and went home and set everything up, got in the bed for the night and looked up the root process and I rooted the device with TowelRoot as I was falling asleep.
I really think there's a fundamental misunderstanding as to what root is. I rooted my phone immediately, had it since launch day on T-Mobile, but aside from some minor changes to the status bar and installing cf.lumen to save my eyes at night, it's a stock phone.
"Rooting" your phone doesn't mean installing a custom ROM and making a load of build.prop edits. It just means giving yourself access to the root directory, meaning the system files. Your computer comes with root access right out of the box.
I rooted the G3 because I just don't like the fact that I'm at all limited in how I use my own device that I bought for full ticket price. If I drop $600 on a phone I should be allowed to do whatever I want with it.
Had it about 3 hours then rooted. Benefits of rooting are excellent!
After a few days because I bought Tasker.

I know what root is... It comes from a plant
About 2 weeks after I bought it. Bought it on release so ya wanted to try it out a little, then got so frustated with the lag so, root remove bad stuff etc etc ART = almost lagfree. Still waiting for unlocked bootloader tho.
5 minutes. Root does t change stock feel just unlocks the door of greatness

Got huge problems while updating to 10g caused by rooting the phone with Purpledrake.
Had to go the way with PC-Suite and "repair update errors" to get the 10g
Without that step Phone reboots with message "Root detected, no update"
So, in the moment I´m using the 10g without root waiting for 10i which should be released soon.
Maybe I´ll root the the phone again after next update.
About a day, because I refuse to use an Android phone anymore without Xposed. It's really changed the way I use my phone for the better. No more rom flashing, just stock rom with Xposed and I'm good.
i had to wait about 3 mins had to do setup then root
I rooted the next day. Had to get rid of all that bloatware ASAP!!
20 minutes haha. Used towel root.
I believe an android phone should be rooted as a default. so it's my 1st action.
the first thing I allways do with my new android is rooting it.
After rooting I start setting it up.
on my new tablet and my G3 it took me seconds with towelroot.
I have a rooted Samsung Tab S wifi with this firmware installed T800XXU1ANFB. In order to unroot do i need to flash it with the same stock firmware it has on it. Or can i flash it with an updated stock firmware?

Just select full unroot from settings in the supersu app.
I am a newbie... so here goes.
I did root it but when I go to verify it it doesn't verify. SuperSU was put on my device, but it wants to update the binary and I did that, but it keeps failing.
What I want to do is unroot it entirely and set it back to factory settings so I went to the settings in SuperSU like said above. If it is unrooted, how would I know? SuperSU is still on my table And only able to.bto.be disabled instead of e tirely removed.
I also think it didn't work because maybe I was trying to root it with a auto file for kitkat instead of lollipop. And links to the version for this lollipop are in a few places but each time I try to extract what I've downloaded the file is corrupt and it never unzips.
I've got the galaxy tab s 10.5; 16gb; wifi only (sm-t800) running lollipop 5.0.2
I'd really like to root so I can get the bloatware off, but if it isn't possible at the moment then I'd might as well go back to an unrooted device.
I'll take all the help I can get or be directed to. I've been pulling my hair out for two days on how to figure it out.
After you have unrooted reboot and you will be unrooted. Root can be verified with Root validator.
For root you can use my build here:

I'm having a different problem but I am sure it is related to this topic.
I ended up being properly rooted after I got the correct one for lollpop 5.0.2. Then I realized that The Sims Freeplay would not work. I tried to use root cloak and I had no luck. I thend tried to use xposed, but it hasn't been upgraded to Lollipop yet.... so I thought about if rooting my device was really worth it since the only game I religiously play is The Sims Freeplay (apparently they are cracking down on people who hack their game.... which is all good and well because because it has nothing to do with my game... I have a rooted device to get rid of bloatware, not to hack the game that I play in a legit way -- but whatever)...
So I chose to unroot from SuperSU like I did once before (when I wasn't properly rooted, but SU was still on my device) just to see what would happen.
I've used Odin two more times to put back the original root file I got to work for Lollipop and now on the second reboot, SuperSU still hasn't been put on my device (like it originally had did long before I even rooted properly).
So now TWRP boots up every time I want to just go straight to my download screen and from there I click on download to get to my screen. That's when I use odin and the cf-auto.
I hope I don't sound confusing. I just want to know where can I go from here?
Apparently the Sims Freeplay is being a real PITA about people trying to play their game on a root device (doesn't surprise me with EA), but I want to play it on my device rooted or not... but now my tablet feels like it's both. It's not straight out of the store box and it's not fully rooted...
What the heck am I doing wrong now?
If you have twrp installed you don't need to flash cfautoroot again. Just reboot from within twrp and it will offer to root.
If you are still having problems see the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/root-cf-autoroot-twrp-t800-t3079488
If you are having problems getting into download mode you are not doing it properly.
Hold POWER + VOL DOWN + HOME.
Under which category will it offer to root and will there be a way to get the sims freeplay working? If not I'd like to get back to straight out of the box for the tablet... but something tells me after reading for a few hours last night that thats impossible.

If you unroot with the supersu app you will be fully unrooted.
To reroot boot into twrp then reboot.
I Finally Got Temporary Root On The AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (and yes it is SuperSU, bit it does require KingRoot)
I Did It
can you post the software info page with the build for verification of which device it's on?
Like you want the build number?
BTW here is how to do it
https://youtu.be/Xr_2LQimK9I
This is temporary root which means that once you reboot you're going to lose root... Sadly not much new...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
Meh, I know but it's better than nothing
Well if this is true it is new because it's on 5.1.1 and not 4.4.4. Going to give it a shot...
So I've tried twice now to root using Kingroot 4.8.0 on Android 5.1.1 and twice my phone has rebooted at the very end when I was trying to download SuperSUMe from the Playstore (did look like root was successful). Might have better luck if I factory reset my phone, but I'm not that interested in getting root.
I can verify that this indeed does provide a temp root on at&t note 4 v5.1.1
BUT! It causes the system to slow down and lag alot and the keyboard no longer works untill the phone is rebooted and when you reboot the samsung startup screen shows a padlock that says custom. So the guys at kingoroot have manged to find a small crack but it is to unstable to use at this time.
I did test out the root permissions on a few apps
1: es file explorer. (I was able to set rw permissions and move files from the internal to ext sd card and see root folders and files in the system)
2: lucky patcher (it was able to gain root and modify installed packages on the fly)
3: es task manager (i was able to acess the root features but changes did not stick)
My hope is maybe someone can learn from this and make the temp root more stable even if temporary (i kinda doubt it since gaining temp root seems to freak the system out causing glitches and stutters)
I obtain temporary root indeed the only I could achieve is, wipe bloatware and change font lol.... So far so good
Well remember, with Samsung changing the system on Android 5.1.1 now requiring a custom kernel to root one of their devices and knowing that AT&T locked the bootloader, this is the best we can get as of right now. Give the developers of KingRoot time because they have tried to root the note 4 without needing a custom kernel. I know it doesn't seem like a lot but give them time. We have wait this much for root. Why not wait a little bit longer for the root to stabilize?
Btw guys I rooted my note 4 on KingRoot v4.8.1, they haven't released this version on their website yet
And supersume pro probably won't work on this
I use the terminal emulator and a root script

There is a bounty regarding it, if they achieve completely root, 8,000 dollars are waiting for anyone achieving it
4.8.1 does stabalize things a little but i can guarantee just aboit that they are using a hole in the stock keyboard to obtain temp root i am going to experiment with non stock keyboards and see what happens from there. I also noticed that the phone gets hot when rooted
Does this temporary root allow the 910A to act as a wifi hotspot?
I was just about to list my Note 4 on Swappa. I can get by without root most of the time but when I need a hotspot, I really need it so I'm back on my Z2 for the moment.

At the moment NO temp root is not stable enough to reliably run long enough to enable and keep enabled wifi hotspot unless your carrier has opened that option. Lucky for me wifi teathering is included in my plan with at&t
Any way to run Xposed with this?
So is it available for download somewhere? Or will it be soon?

After delete all the bloatware it allow me to use Hotspot without need foxfi but I'm in Verizon so I couldn't tell you if it applies the same in at&t but I'm sure one of the program installed is the one that blocks or prevents Hotspot to work properly
I used Kingroot 4.8.1 (after you install 4.8.0 and open the app it tells you to update it) on my N910A and it got to 25% and failed? Happened a few times
All I see are options that require me to unlock the bootloader (lose warranty completely) or use Kingroot (borderline malware and is only temporary).
Is there no way to root MM yet that doesn't include the above?
I want to remove so much crap Virgin Mobile put on my phone and block ads. I mean they put Mcafee Security on my phone and it doesn't allow me to disable it.
Take a look at this page on this thread. The first two post on the page are what you need to root. I would have rooted mine but i await autorec for D852G marshmallow, all other versions are available. i believe your device version will be avaialble. So currently i am temp rooted with king root.
If you worry about king root being malware then simply install droidwall and block it from having access to the internet after you root.
Which device do you use.
the annoying thing is, to root the lg g3 mm you need to unlock the bootloader, and to unlock the bootloader you need to root... so am like what kind of messed up situation is that. Currently no developers are showing much support for rooting the LG G3. wish i dint buy the device

I could live without titanium backup i guess.
Im using d852 with no g.
But the best ad blockers all need root
Gues im stuck waiting for the warrenty to expire and doing it anyway.
I tried flashing back to 5.0 using flashtool, but i got so many problems and errors, i bricked my phone twice.so when i finally got back to 6.0 I just said screw it.
I guess that it's impossible to extract the exploit which kingroot uses? I am looking for root d855 without kingroot and I see that it doesn't exist...
Just tried the 1 click with MM, script said fail, phone says do not unplug, flashing firmware, 0%, unsure what to do now...
I pulled battery and all is fine.. guess a sg update is in order...
*Update*
Make sure you go into Settings/App Manager and Disable all Verizons App except the Mobile login and My Verizon Mobile app.
Easy way to do is type in the search for vzw,disable all of vzw apps. Then search for Verizon and disable all of Verizons related app except the two mentioned.Verizons bloatware seem to be the problem that prevents us to get tempt root.

1.Download KingRoot app and install it
2.Run the app, it will show theres no root method availabe,still try to root it anyways.
3. As soon as the rooting starts(percentage page going up) hit the home key so the app will run in the background.eek:therwise rooting will not work.
4.Wait for 2 minutes then click on the KingApp again, it might take a few tries and voila! Temp root.:laugh:
*Note*
1.make sure you have usb debugging enabled in Developer Option:good:
2.Bootloader is still locked so you will lose your root after any reboot.Sunshine is not sucessful in unlocking it rightnow.Maybe if we have a boot.img thats already unlocked we can flash it with Flashify app.:crying:
3. All root app works great, just cant modify any system files cause of temp root.
Htc 526 root?!?

Okay so the temp root can do what? Will root worthy apps detect the root and work up until a reboot??? if that's the case then the painfully annoying time spent to "re-temp root" the phone will be enough for me until KingRoot finds a way to successfully root the phone. :good:
If you get me temp root I can get perm root.
This temp root method isn't working for me
You have to keep doing it a few time.Im doing this even with the StageFright update. Once you get it the first time, everytime after that will work.It seems like Kingroot remember its exploit. Temp root will let you do things like running GameGuardian to cheat android games. Basically thats all I use tempt root for.
*Note*
Remember to run Kingroot rooting process in the backgroun only. Otherwise it will not work. As soon as you hit the root method, hit the homekey. Go use your phone as normal and then come back to the app,voila tempt root. It will ask you to fix the root binaries ,which means it works.
I also have full root but resets on reboot...
I'm not 100% sure but if the root resets after reboot then it's a temp root right?
Yeah. It's annoying.. I'd love to mod a little but it's been years since I dabbled. Full root would be fantastic. I've been looking for a solid solution that preferably doesn't require any help from a PC..
Hey Can u do and update on it because it's one work now in 2018
