Hi
You should have no need to downgrade to Kikat. Search XDA G3 forum for Root tool v3 and use it to root and followthe instructions on installing TWRP.
I have the Taiwan version of the D855 32Gb and that is how i did it on Lollipop 5.0.

I'm such a noob smh. Turns out I have the European version XD. Anyway reckon you can link for to this thread man finding the most current root method is so confusing ahahahah. All the ones I've seen for lollipop are only root and don't install TWRP so I'd really appreciate a link thanks

King root is for all Android versions from 4.4 up to 6.0.1 I guess

Yes i know but in xda people don't like using kingroot app.... say it has security issue.....also get kernel panic issue with kingroot but it can be just for me...
Yeah but if you install a custom. Rom after using King root you can use it and for me it was only option because of broken USB port

I think you're referring to towelroot. It doesn't work on the 855 version yet as far as I know.

Hello
Some n00b questions
I am new to the LG G3 and i have some questions. I did root my LG can i still use the original updates LG send me and is it ok to updat e? i mean will it damage my phone because of the root. My LG G3 is an 855 10H. If i want to bring it back to stock and i follow the tutorial on XDA i only see for the LG G3 855 other versions like 10D or E. Witch one i can use for bring it back to stock or is there something on XDA also a 10H version?
thanks for i hope answering this question

Or use supersu
Yes, I'm using a f460 just upgraged to 5.0.1 by flashing stocked KDZ. Then I find there's no way I can get it rooted. After I searched the forum, the only way of having a rooted Lollipop G3 seems to be flash a pre-rooted 5.0 rom from KK. Unfortunately, there NO pre-rooted 5.0 rom for F460. So I'm wondering is there any way I can get it rooted? Should be doable, when we already have rooted roms.
Thanks for sharing.

same here, waiting for root as well as cook rom for F460S on Lollipop
Same prob. I want to root mine as well. Went to PC suite and updated it to 5.0.1
LG G3 F460S
no root and no xposed for Lollipop is what keeps me from updating my F460S. I will update my girlfriend's stock F460S today, just to compare
Any one tried stump root with bruteforce method?
Why don't you try http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951 from avicohh
Says it works for all variants??

Thank you!
Just rooted my phone using this method.
I just received my LG G3 today and updated to lollipop, not realising it was basically unrootable. Please tell me there is an option to root or atleast there will be soon? I cannot live without my Viper4Android app!
I can't believe I was so dumb to just install the update without considering the potential issues with rooting.
I updated my Nexus 7 to lollipop and quickly went back to KitKat using the Root Toolkit, so I didn't realise that we were having an issue with rooting lollipop devices. Or I wouldn't have updated at all.
I'm due another LG G3 tomorrow as the original company were out of stock, so I ended up going into the store and picking one up today, and ofcourse the original company just at that moment emailed me to confirm delivery for the following day.... anyway how far away are we from getting a solution... i will need to return one G3 so would it be worth returning the device i updated and keeping the G3 which will likely come shipped with Kitkat? Or will a solution likely be here soon?
Hope this makes sense, I've been up all night trying to root this *******.
Thanks!
Actually u can just install a custom lollipop rom which is already rooted or even install a stock rooted one too , it's up to u which one whould u like to return , for the updated one u can downgrade to kitkat using tot file and then root and get a custom recovery ... And install whatever u want

If you just want to root your phone, try towelroot.apk. You must be really lazy because a Google search on rooting lg-e980 will tell you about towel root app.

By any chance you have link to a thread which points to installing a custom recovery on my E988 (running official Kit Kat) ? SW version is E98820c-ESA-XX
