Sprint LG Optimus G android version:4.0.4 LG software version: LS970ZV9
A few weeks ago sprint pushed either a firmware update or LG pushed a software update, I didn't think anything about it and choose to update. Big mistake: I have now lost root, used root checker to confirm, also wifi tether no longer works, and root explorer will not r/w. Now my problem is I still have supersu and can't get rid of it, also wifi is acting strange.
I have tried the following to unroot: factory reset both software and bootloader methods neither removed supsu, went to supers and tried uninstall, also just tried to reroot, but no success.
I would like to unroot or perform a factory reset which gets rid of supersu and root. Then finally reroot, I have no problems losing everything and starting from scratch. Can someone explain to me how to do this?
Update: Thanks to javskies - I have used LGNPST to revert back to V7 of firmware and now have root again!!!!!!

if you plan on rerooting why not just lgnpst back to v7, root and unlock, and just flash a stock v9 rom?

Chances are pretty high that your root method installed supersu into the /system/app directory (which is ro) therefore, the only way to remove it, would be to root the phone and mount it as rw. Or as the above says, downgrade then root then next time not upgrade.

Yes I have continued reading other forum posts and it appears I updated to build #ZV9.IMM76L which has no root as of yet. Can someone explain how to revert back to V8, once again I have no issues with wiping phone and starting other, I don't have a stock rom, nor do I know how to push one to my phone.

Well, most root methods (including the one I used, found here) install supersu or superuser to /system/app so it would be safe to assume that that is what his core issue is (not being able to uninstall it, because it's in the system partition, which is now read only)

It can be rooted. The guide stickied in the development section shows how to root the phone for v9.

Make sure, or recheck USB bugging. Or your drivers didn't install right.
Type " adb devices" and see if that works.

Can't unroot
Can't find a method to unroot from zv9 rooted. LGNPST recovery freezes at 4% once it actually starts to push the recovery. GAIO isn't compatible with zv9, so no help. Also tried pushing zvb update through TWRP then CWM with no luck, they fail when they try to open the zip.
You don't need to unroot. You need to relock the bootloader though.
In the irc, they have a method to update thru TWRP. If you wanna try that.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I relock with freegee? right?
Was a little worried when it still went into TWRP after restoring with freegee, but gave it a shot installing anyway. I installed the "update.zip" file from sdcard not cache and it still worked. Now running ZVB with root thanks to VooDoo's OTA Rootkeeper!
Thanks for the help engine95!
Frustrated
And have attempted every suggestion posted but have still not been able to fix the problem regarding ADB problem that will not allow me to root my phone. I am to the point that I am ready to factor restore my Sprint Optimus G. I will delay this option for a week in hope that someone will help me resolve my problems.

I can't believe I forgot about this option. But run as admin/not as admin. So right click fiddy619 root, run as admin.
This seems to be the most common problem.
Let's hope this works.
I haven't seen a clear answer on this, so does anybody know what root methods still work after the new update? If they all still do, is there anything I should do differently in the rooting process?
You have to wait till one of the methods gets an upgrade
BAD ASS G3
Well seeing as how the d851 boot loader is shipping unlocked from T-Mobile I think it would be pretty safe to say that once you manage to properly install the 10m OTA, you would simply flash TWRP from purpledrake in fastboot and from there flash supersu.

I used Stump root and mine is rooted again. I had to use the brute force root to get it done in Stump. After that I installed SuperU, TWRP and Busy Box.

Purpledrake probably replaced the M boot.img with the C boot.img. If it did that means your back on the C kernel and if it didn't you no longer have the modded disabled root checker.

If you get update, it will fail in updating due to root. If you are on anything other then sprint. It will fail because of files changed

Sorry this is late.. What is your service provider? Maybe that is why you're not getting updates. Sprint and Boost will OTA update to ZVG which is the lollipop you're looking for. Or you can study the threads to get Cyanogen 12 which is lollipop (5.0.2) based. If you're on a different provider, it's possible your LS980 was flashed to work on their service which makes it ineligible to update to ZVG.

Rooting w/ Kingroot (if it works) is only temproot, as soon as you reboot the phone root is gone. So this tute doesn't really give you the whole process to achieve perm root on your G3.

You have to download the latest version of Kingroot. I think it's 4.9.something. The links on some of the pages are to earlier versions that didn't work for me either. Search for the latest Kingroot version. I don't think it was on the main website.
To be honest I don;'t like Kingroot at all.
It installs it's self as a system app and puts this purify program on (and btw it's a temp root on the LG G3, if you restart , you have to do it again). And it seems to have issues with SuperUser once you flash the ROM. Some appz would get root access and others wouldn't. It was quite annoying. I am waiting for a Stock.zip of MM to come out before I go back to it. For now I would stick to LP 30E Bloatware free. Very easy to root.
And if anyone that is reading this knows how to get MM to stop asking you if you want to wipe your ass for every little thing tell me how to disable it. Every time I connect it to my PC, it's like "are you sure you want to allow USB connection?". No I slipped and it plugged in all by it's self! Even when doing some of the most basic stuff, it asks 'Allow' or 'Deny'? Extremely annoying. The only thing that is a plus is the Bluetooth function. It doesn't ask you to enter the '0000' or '11111' code when connecting different devices like it does on LP, KK, JB, and ICS.
Edit: The Kingroot version that worked for me was NewKingrootV4.9.6_C151_B329_en_release_2016_09_30.apk. I think the one on the Kingroot website is older and named "NewKingrootV4.9.6_C151_B309_en_release_2016_08_18_105203.apk". Just do a search for the former and it should work to temp Root MM. Remember, if you restart the phone the Root will go away.
Once you temp root it, download TWRP's latest version, twrp-3.0.0-0-d851.img or what ever and put it in the phones main directory. Then download the terminal emulator that has the green android fella on it from the play store and type these commands in:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp-3.0.0-0-d851.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
reboot recovery
(Just make sure in the line "dd if=/sdcard/twrp-3.0.0-0-d851.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery" you type the name of the TWRP img you put in the phone.

Kingroot 4.1 can root Kitkat/LP but not Marshallow. I tried Kingroot 5.2 on MM did not work either so I end up downgrade to KK/LP and root it. Then can flash custom roms. For MM I seen method on other forum just a bit complicated to do it.

Try this method from PonchosoftX and if it's unclear, then I'm sure that he would be glad to help. Perhaps if you're successful, then post any tips or tricks in this thread.
I don't want to unlock the bootloader. All I want is root to run AdAway.
Would you recommend one-click root tools such as KingRoot or KingoRoot? Are they safe? Has anyone tested them? Thanks.
Also wondering if I will be able to install OTAs if i root with those tools.
I know alot of noobie samsung users use that stuff, but its thirdparty warez made from ppl in china and what not, theres been issues a few times when developers found out what happens when you use apps or programs like that, some discovered suspicious apps being installed and hidden during the process some also found data being collected from the phone and sent to server data storages and sold to companies, i wouldnt recomend using apps like that.
