Hey guys.
I own LG G3 for about year and a half after using rooted Galaxy nexus for few years. Very satisfied!
I want to unlock, root and flash custom rom to update my device to Android 6 and enjoy some root features I miss.
My device:
LG G3, D855 (32GB), 5.0.
Build Nubmer: LRX21R.A1447078419
Software Version: V21a-SEA-XX
I saw many ways to root, which one is the best? (using PC, not ADB stuff..)
Do I still have to reset my whole data for rooting?
Is "bootloader unlocking" thing still exists?
Important things to backup before doing anything?
1. You can use "One click root" to root your device , This is the best way
2. you don't need to reset your device
3. after you install SU download autorec from google play for D855 LP to install TWRP recovery
4. It's up to you , for me I have not , but for more safety do it.
Good luck

This method for stock android 5.0
Take a look on this thread : [GUIDE][ROOT] Newest Root Method for LG devices
I think you didn't understood me.
My device now is on android 5.X.
I want to root and flash android 6 (CM Nigthlies).
Can it done by the on clock root and autorec method?

Hi,
on tuesday I, will get my G3 (should be d855, as im in germany) and obviuosly I wan't to have root.
As it seems to be a bit tricky on the G3, I want to make sure that I got the correct way of achieving that now.
1. As it will be new, i think it should still have Kitkat, if it won't, i have to downgrade.
2. Use PurpleDrake to root it.
3. Use Flashify! to flash TWRP 2.8.4.0
4. Flash bumped Stock v20F and SuperSu via TWRP
5. Be happy to have stock lollipop + root
Can i do it like that or am I something missing?
Thanks

Step 1, 4 and 5 are impossible to do with Lollipop. Stock Lollipop can Not be rooted. You`ll have to flash a Lollipop custom rom after step 3.

Yes, i meant the stock rom flashed with the LG Flash Tool cannot be rooted
Puuh, alright, so if we replace "stock" with "bumped stock", then everything will work like i wrote in #1?

i think you can try rooting with kingroot, then flashing twrp, then flash cm13. Though I have not tried this method before. From what I read kingroot only gives temporary root which lasts a reboot so you gotta download everything, root, install autorec from play store, then reboot into twrp and flash.
Don't try Autorec method on Marsmallow rom. It will hard brick your phone (it's hard to repair it for inexperienced user).
What I recommended is tot method for retrieving stock lollipop. Then you can try root and Autorec.

Either downgrade to Kitkat using TOT/KDZ and LG Upgrade Tool or if you want a one click method and trust Chinese downloads, then download Autorec and root package from:
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1o6YpUsE
Use password: rjte
Navigate to one of the folders which has kingroot app, which roots temporarily and then use autorecmm app for D858HK. This should downgrade bootloader to Kitkat, install TWRP, downgrade modem to compatible version and flash bumped MM boot image. Of course, permanent root with SuperSu will be there as well.
If you prefer DIY methods then there are a few other posts by me and @topet2k12001 which should be helpful.

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).

root is the problem, I am not able to root my Phone, I tried Kingroot, but no luck,
You must install to KingRoot in latest version from its official site. Then run the application and leaves that the process is complete. In the end, the application will show an error message indicating that it has not been possible to establish root on your phone. You should try to at least three times. If the error persists, install the application root check and verify if the root permissions have been granted.

Install TWRP Manager from play store and install recovery from this app. When you have already installed recovery, you can reinstall the rom and make sure you always of flash supersu from the recovery so that you end up with root permissions

I am not sure of the steps for your variant. You will try to do through of adb/console. Find on Internet how to obtain root permission from adb/console for your model.

Ok I will check this, one more thing, can you tell me that How I can install twrp.img file (available in above mentioned link) usin TWRP Manager tool. or is there any other way available for installing this file.
My phone is LG G3 D855 international model and I recently have upgraded it to android 6.0. However I am quite disappointed with the performance to its performance and would like to downgrade it to the older version like android 4.4 so as for easy root of the phone and flash fulmics rom. And a problem comes out- I cant downgrade it officially ! No matter I am flashing in tot files or kdz files, I can't downgrade. So I tried to root it directly and no matter what method suggested in the net , I failed to root my phone. Errors,errors, and errors...I am enough with errors and would like to ask for help in order to solve my problem. I genuinely want to flash the fulmic rom into my phone! My phone lags so much!!!!

Do you want to make a clean downgrade to Android Kitkat from Marshmallow? From what I see, you're root. If you do not have recovery installed, you can install the official app of TWRP which does install the recovery. After that, download Kitkat official rom in format zip (look in xda threads) and formats your rom from the recovery. For example, the name of the rom for my variant (Lg g3 D851) is D85120G-Rom_Untouched_Stock_Restore.zip

Hi there, don't bother with root softwares such as these. For the MIUI Oreo ROM you need the latest version of Magisk or SuperSU. Whichever one you decide needs to be flashed in TWRP.
Browse the Mix 2 guides on XDA there's plenty information on this topic.

Just do a backup and root it forever, then you can use TitaniumBackup who backups everything.

You can actually get away with not flahsing TWRP. You can setup the fastboot drivers on your PC, download the TWRP img and in CMD just boot to the TWRP image "fastboot boot TWRP.img" for example. It will boot to TWRP one time where you can utilize it's flashing capability but once you reboot there's no trace of it and you still have stock recovery.
