The easiest method of installing TWRP is by using TWRP Manager...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager

I can overwrite the recovery (I have CWR) with TWRP Manager? No problem?
The software showme a windows with this "Something is wrong: FLashing recovery was unsucessfull. Either you already have this recovery installed or another has occurred. Would you like to attempt rebooting to recovery now?... It give me 2 options CANCEL and OK.

If you already have CWM (ClockworkMod recovery) installed, then installing TWRP after will just overwrite it. Normally that error pops up if you already have TWRP installed. Select OK, and let it reboot into recovery. Then post back w/ the results. Also make sure to select D851 as the phone model, and 2.8.7.0 as the version of TWRP to install.

SOLVED. TWRP and Root access. Thank you redduc900. :victory:

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.

you can try installing custom recovery (TWRP or any custom recovery you want) and flash the Super user and remove kinguser this way should work i guess

sir please help me rooting my device ive got lg g3 d855 android version 5.0 software version V20n-234-30. thanks

Please help me root my G3 too. I'd love to know how

this is a simple way root your device not sure if it will work but it works with marshmallow tho
1)you will download kinguser apk from playstore and try to root your phone try to root your phone if it failed you will download the windows version of iroot from here http://www.iroot.com/ (you are rooted here)
If you want to swap to supersu
2)you will need to install a custom recovery which will be simple will install this from google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager&hl=en thats TWRP and will select your device
3)https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip you will need to download this zip and reboot to custom recovery you can do it manually or by this apk https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.petrus.tools.reboot
flashing a zip: will be by pressing install in recovery then you will search for the zip in the location you put it in. im not responsible for anything happens to your device.

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.

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.

No Root method for LG G3 D855

Hey guys,
I'm having a really bad time on rooting the LG G3. I know there are methods out there but these don't work with this software version. I've tried Kingroot but the app does says 'Research Request is not enough' and then it will put me in a queue on the rooting list and I used One click Root that didn't work either :crying: . I've looked everywhere to root this phone but there are absolutely nothing out there to root this device. Would It be that I'm on Marshmallow and that could of patched kingroot from rooting the device if so let me know.
Thanks.
Model number: D855
Android Version: 6.0 (Marshmallow)
Software Version: V30N
