Cannot root LG G3 (After Update)

Hi,
I got LG G3 (02, D855) and recently I updated as it required a software update. This removed root (it had root before, I installed root via the one click installer created by avicohh.). After this update I can no longer root, when I install SuperSU I get this dreadful error: there is no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it
I have tried one click installer + the GUI version as well, all seems to go well, but according to both scripts, but once I run SuperSU, it gives that error.
I've seen some posts which says I need to flash it or whatever, but I have no idea how to do this, prefer one click scripts!!
PS the software suite upgraded to latest version 5.0 Android.
Cheers
Asim

Sorry I can't help you but you have helped me... I too am rooted and last night the ota update downloaded and is now sitting on top of screen wanting me to install it.
I don't think I will now as would like to keep root.
Do you know how to get rid of the tick at top incase I accidentally install the update?
Regards diddle ?

Hi, in update center, you should be able to turn of automatic updates, also I think if you click the notification > click install later, it will ask you when to remind you, I think from this popup you should be able to abort installation.
Can't duplicate it since I already updated.

Worked asimr
Thanks for the help
Will wait till a working one click appears before I do any updates ����

Same problem as yours, after i unrooted my phone via supersu, i cant root anymore
I have tried to root the phone again in recovery mode or via adb... None of them success
Hope somebody can help :crying:

How to get rid of update notification on rooted Z1 Compact 5.0.2

For some reason I randomly started getting an Xperia system update a few months after installing rooted 5.0.2, and I cant get rid of it. It wont let me hide notifications for it, and I don't think I can clear the cache for it either. Any suggestions? Couldn't find anyone else on the forums that had this problem. Thanks!

Is it for 5.1, and you don't want it? Anyway, if you have root, I think you can use Rom Toolbox, or similar root app manager, and freeze 'update service' app. I haven't done it, so can't say for sure, but shouldn't hurt to try.

Curiously it's for 5.0.2. It says the update is only 0.4 megabytes also. Although when I check my firmware it tells me I have 5.0.2. I considered trying the update but I don't want to lose root. But I'll try that and see what it does! Could greenify do the same?

There are two ways of disabling update notifications. One is in the Sony Update App (I have Polish lang. so don't know what's the exact name but probably something like actualization center?) but I think this one does not work (at least for system updates).
Another one is in the Android Settings, under -> Applications -> choose All applications -> find on the list the app name, actualization center or whatever is the name of app in your language -> show notifications. checkbox.
If you turn that checkbox off, then you won't see any notifications from the app.
You don't have to freeze the process, it will still check for updates and you will see all avalaible updates from within the app, but you won't get any info on notification bar and I believe that is what you aim for.
Hit thanks if I helped

Interesting.. It's up to you, but personally I would take the update and see what happens. Rooting 5.0 is not too big a deal if you have to do it over, but my sense is that it's not going to affect that. Or see if you can do what the other guy said.

So! I tried both suggestions, the first one I tried before but it won't let me un check the box to stop receiving notifications from any system apps. The option is greyed out so I decided to just take the update. Well it was very quick because it was only 0.4 Mbs, and I still have root status BUT. As soon as it finished the notification for 5.1 appeared! This one is 300 Mbs in size, and I'm pretty sure I would lose root status by upgrading this way, correct? I guess I'll just freeze the app then, rooting 5.1 looks like a bit of a hassle.

The first notification was for 14.5.A.0.270, you were probably on 14.5.A.0.242

If your bootloader is unlocked, it isn't. If it's locked, well... stay on rooted 5.0.2

If you are rooted on 5.0.2 and have dual recovery installed, then it's pretty easy to make a PRF (pre-rooted firmware) of 5.1.1 and flash it in recovery. I can confirm that root was retained with this method.

Really? Interesting, that's how I got 5.0.2, but i heard something about downgrading to kit kat and THEN going to 5.1. If you say it works I'll have to look into it.

it does work, I did it and many other did
though i am back to 5.0.2, since i need [email protected] video recording and it was removed from 5.1.1

Yeah, it worked for me. I did it twice and retained root both times, one was a dirty flash and one was a clean flash. I ended up going back to 5.0.2 also because of a weird issue I was having with WiFi on 5.1.1.
I would caution you, however, that I did read in the 5.1.1 thread about some people losing root when doing this, so I can't say what they did differently. All I know is it worked for me.

The best solution to your problem is to either
Code:
su
pn hide com.sonyericson.updateservice
in a terminal emulator on the phone, or
Code:
adb shell
pn hide com.sonyericsson.updateservice
from your PC
this hides the persistent notification of the update center. To undo simply
Code:
pn unhide com.sonyericsson.updateservice

su
pn hide com.sonyericson.updateservice

to Root or not to Root? Unlocked LG G4 H815

I just got my G4 Unlocked international H815 model. It's running 5.1 software on ATT. It keeps bugging me trying to OTA software update. Not sure what it's trying to update to exactly, because the only way to see more info is to hit continue with update and there's no turning back from there.
I love this phone unlocked! it didn't have any bloatware I usually root to delete when I get my phone from the carrier. It's got stuff like Wifi hotspot stock and the FM radio and charges over QI instead of Powercrap ... etc.
My question is
if it's already got most of the stuff I root to access, do I let the OTA update happen and risk not being able to root?
not sure what all I'd gain.
I'm wary about rooting because my last phone was the LG G3 and I rooted it and despite me disabling all update processes, it updated itself one day on my way to work and got screwed up so bad I had to force a downgrade and put a rom on it and after a couple days of holding a 600$ paperweight, I finally got it up and running on a rom... still had some bugs but it worked.
I REALLY want to avoid that nightmare with this 3 day old phone.
opinions welcome!
Thanks

Are you saying it's already rooted? If it is, the OTA won't work anyway. You have to unroot and flash the update using LG bridge. but then you can just root it again using the same method. The update doesn't block root. Lots of us have done it. Read the rooting threads.

G4 TweaksBox. One reason to root. ^_^

Adaway, no more adverts in apps. another (big for me) reason to root.

What version are you on now? It's probably only the stagefright fix.

Root...flash TWRP...flash cyanogen 12.1
Install xposed framework and get the YouTube adaway module. That's deffo a reason to ROOT.

You need an unlocked bootloader to flash TWRP / CM.
I'm running stock v10d + root. Works awesomely.

Yes mine's unlocked, NOT rooted. apparently the update it was trying to do automatically wasn't a big update because it decided it had waited long enough and did it on its own, rebooted and its still at
5.1
I'm still trying to wrap my head around all the terminology and methods of rooting droids- I came from the dark side- I've jailbroken every iphone since the first one they ever produced. My G3 was my first real phone, but like I said, I had it for a couple months stock, rooted it, and almost immediately it went kamikaze OTA update while rooted and went haywire. I limped by with a mediocre rom for another 8 months, until some drunk A Hole destroyed it on Halloween. I may or may not be said A Hole haha
So I guess now my question is, once rooted, am I stuck at 5.1 forever with no security updates, software patches ETC?
and since most people don't have a true unlocked phone, is this process easier to do? I'm probably asking in the wrong forum section now aren't I?

I sure hope at this point if you truly have an unlocked bootloader, that you have the latest MM version 20B installed and have root! - I find that the stock ROM is the best performing and least buggy of any of them (with some minor tweakin)

Unable to Unlock BootLoader. SOS!!!
Hi guys! need a lil help here. I have LG G4 H815. Now this is what's happening :
1. I have tried t install LG drivers a million times but in the device manager, there's always some problem with them during the installation.
2. Therefore, I'm unable to locate my phone using 'adb devices'. I'm stuck on this first step for last 1 week and I have tried every available lg driver on the internet but still the result is same.
3. I'm using Windows 8 Pro.
What's the solution here guys? Your help will highly be appreciated.

you need "disable driver signature verification" to install it
(advanced reboot options from windows)

Still stuck!

I did as you said and disabled the driver signature verification at restart. Uninstalled the driver and installed again but still the problem persists.
When I connect the phone, LGE Android phone appears with a yellow question mark in the device manager. When I try to update the driver, it says that
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
MTP USB Device.
The system cannot find the file specified."
Still can't locate the device with adb. Please help me!

However bootloader unlock is not available for the H815P... :/
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA-Developers mobile app

But...but...
But sir, my phone is H-815, not H-815P.
Please help me where I'm making the mistake. I want to root my phone but nothing is helping me out.

FireTV 1 unrooted?

Hi all,
I'd previously rooted, installed recovery, etc on my FireTV version 1. Everything was working great, and I thought I'd disabled updates. I turned it on recently and It somehow lost root. Everything is still installed, but can't open SuperSU, towelroot says the device isn't supported. Still says that Xposed is installed with the framework though.
The system says I'm now on 51.1.4.1_user_514013920 for some reason. Checking for system update still gives an error. What went wrong, and is there any way to fix it?
@AFTVNews, I'm mainly looking at you

Does anyone know?

If you disabled updates its probably the fact that the fire tv has updated its self, im afraid thats why su (root) isnt working & your device isn't supported because your firmware has upgraded. You have no way to root at the moment in time unless a os5 root for AFTV gen1 is created sometime in the near future? It is possible because Rbox is making a Os5 root for Gen 1.... But i think you need root already for that? My advice would be if you still want root, get a AFTV 2 while root is still possible & root/block updates & wait for the new recovery & rom being developed by Rbox which fingers crossed should be very near to be released. I still cant get over why you would want to unblock updates for when you had root & exposed framework? oh well whats done is done now.
If this helps press that thanks button

If he install clockword mod and if he can still get into it, couldn't he flash the latest rom and get root back?

That's very confusing?
Disabling updates should've been the first thing you did after rooting (presumably a long time ago if you have gen 1.)
Disabling updates, successfully or not, shouldn't've caused you to lose root. If you have CWM, your aftv should not be able to receive a stock update. Of course towel root won't work because your firmware is based on stock software that is not rootable. Are you certain you did nothing else other than disable updates?
I'm basing all of this off the assumption you have CWM. If so then just push the same firmware you currently have installed to /sdcard and flash it again. Install busybox and I'd think you'd be ok. You probably already know this but aftvnews has all rbox's prerooted roms.

Maybe you only disabled ota on your router? Have you taken it anywhere else? Or got a new router?

Yes, I disabled updates when I first rooted. I did this on the firetv, not my router. I followed @aftvnews guide to do it, and it worked perfectly. I'm not looking to get another device, but to restore this one. I still have cwm, busybox, supersu all installed (I think I still have cwm, don't remember how to boot to it). I still don't believe you can just flash a rooted rom over top...

If the firmware has gone to an updated latest unrootable firmware I'm sure what ever you flash onto it will brick your device even if you do have cwm?

You're not understanding. First, the firmware you have MUST have boot menu installed. Therefore you can choose to boot recovery from there. OR connect adb and reboot recovery. Adbfire simplifies this...
You should be fine to flash a prerooted rom and it should fix whatever got messed up.
Again, theres NO way youre running stock because im fairly certain rbox's recovery wont allow the installation. Theres an issue with you su no doubt but im thinking youre still rooted.

Sorry I missed this thread until now. Do you know what version pre-rooted ROM you had installed last? You say it's on 51.1.4.1, but are you positive that is not the version it was always on? If by some strange way it did install a stock update, there's no way it would have updated to 51.1.4.1 since Amazon is pushing 51.1.6.3 to all devices now. Just because you can't open SuperSU doesn't mean you lost root. What happens when you connect via ADB and enter the "su" command? Is your bootloader unlocked? Here's how to check.

Huh, looks like everything is still good. I ADB in and "su" still shows [email protected] I guess I still have root and unlocked bootloader. I disabled automatic updates again just in case, it says "Package com.android.dcp new state: disabled". I feel like I should update the the ROM though as my install is feeling a bit awkward. Is there a guide on AFTVnews?
EDIT: I just checked and I don't have RBOX's Boot Menu installed. Does that mean I should downgrade to 51.1.4.0, install the boot menu, then upgrade the ROM in that order?

I haven't looked into the Google Play Store in a while. I plan to update my guide once Fire OS 5 is released to older devices, since any changes I make now likely won't work after the update.

How to root lg g3 d851 marshmellow 6.0

I've had my phone for about a year now. Bought it unlocked as a tmobile phone then switched it to AT&T. Yesterday I decided to root. I first tried Kingroot which was a failure. Next I tried one click root. All went well until installing ADB drivers which it then said there's no method for my phone. I don't trust any random google search method so I'm wanting to know if there is an actual way or if I'm really stuck not being able to root?

An alternate method of rooting is to rollback to lollipop then rooting that. But it also depends on the revision of the main board. Later revisions are booby trapped against rollback.

But hope that kingroot wil get an option soon..
Anyone tried a method on described on youtube??
They have done it there with one click root pc application!

I downloaded the 30D firmware and manually flashed my phone the new E to the previous 30D and it worked no problem Although I did have to restore my apps, etc. I had everything backed up with TruBackup and GCloud. I then rooted again temporarily, installed TWRP and TWRP manager, rebooted to TWRP installed SuperSU there.......and phone was rooted and working great again with 30D

I went through the process like 4 times until I finally got it right. The last time, I had trouble with KR getting root. I could be wrong, but it seemed like disabling Lookout app before running KR helped.

I too am having a heck of a time getting this G3 D851 rooted. I had KingRoot temproot working, tried to install Super SU via playstore to get perm root, but installer said was a conflict with another rooting app, and failed. I have tried like 5 different methods, none of them are working. Phone is currently on 30d via OTA. I rooted the wife's G3 TMo last year easily, so not sure why this same phone is havign such issues. Can anyone explain how best to use KingRoot & then get perm root? Soon I will have no hair left! :crying:
