So, on Thursday I picked up an LG G3 from Verizon. I was absolutely loving it. But like most people, I wanted custom ROM's and roots and all the fun stuff you can do with android phones. I rooted my device the day I got it with IORoot. Everything is working fine at this point.
After this, i wanted a custom ROM. I found that there wasn't many for my specific model, but i did see the Sphinx G3 Neo ROM. I payed no attention to what variant it was for and loaded it up on my phone. At first, everything was working perfectly and it was butter smooth. But then I noticed whatever messaging app I tried to use would not work. I did a factory reset and then did the same process to load Sphinx on my G3. This time, messages were working, however, mobile data was not. I finally had enough of this and decided to return to the stock ROM. I found all of the stock files and was attempting to use the TOT method. I put the phone in download mode (which it won't come out of btw) and tried to start flashing. I then realized what I had done and saw that my device was reading something like D855. So when I downloaded the Verizon files it wont work. But will I be able to fix this? Have any of you had this problem before? This phone is brand new and I cannot replace it at this point. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out.
Hi,
So sad to hear that. Have you tried TOT files from this thread?
I hope your imei is intact.

I don't it is bricked per say. I do believe that the only way to solve the problem will be to do as you were trying, return it to stock with .tot files, you just need to find some information which I did see in the threads somewhere with regards to getting out of download mode.
Once you get that done and flash back to stock, then you can root again, I would suggest using Stump root, and the unlock the bootloader with Bump, and this would be a good time to make a backup with the recovery TWRP.
Be calm and read as much as possible, I hope you sort it out. Good luck.

I have not found ANY information regarding being stuck in download mode. Not asking for you to go digging, but if happen to find a thread about that I would be pleased if you sent it my way. I have attached some screenshots for you to see the error I'm getting.

Also another question, what modes are you able to boot into when holding down etc the right combination of keys?
Or does it always boot into download mode no matter what?

And finally, have you tried using the LG pc suite?
Please note I have not had any of these problems and so I am only offering suggestions of various things I have read while owning a G3, just makes me sad to see posts like this... Really hope you manage to get it working again... Afterall, we finally have unlocked bootloader!

will there be an update to the PurpleDrake method on the D851 with the new 10m update? for it to work properly?
YOu can still get rooted if u are on 10m. I did. It wont exit properly so u will need to pull the battery after it is done.

Correct. However, it does not install TWRP, nor the custom Boot.IMG to prevent triggering the root counter. I too would like to see an update to include these items.

I see your concern.. you can manually install twrp but i have no idea bout the boot.img
i did all except that. Someone mentioned you can flash back to stock and it will fix the root counter. If you ever need to send in your phone that is... but i do understand its easier if this would be one package kind of thing.
IDK how to even check that yet. LOL. I have already rooted and unrooted, just to familiarize myself with the process.

Yes, but as stated above, it will glitch. The glitch just freezes on the permaroot steps. Once this happens, removing the battery and rebooting still keeps your device rooted. With 10M, currently, you will have to manually install TWRP. I recommend downloading the IMG file online, and using Flashify to flash it.

Thank you for the response. Do you think its worth rooting since 5.0 is coming out soon? I still want to root but will I have to unroot in order to get the 5.0 upgrade? or better yet, will the LG get the upgrade any time soon. Sorry for these questions. And also, since this phone has the top notch camera resolution, will rooting affect the camera?

I unrooted to ensure I get the update. If you are rooted, and have not turned off OTA, you might get the OTA, and it might break something. I personally like the LG camera better than any other so far. Another reason I went back to stock. Rooting and keeping the stock OS, should leave the camera alone. If you flash a different ROM, your mileage may vary.
We should be getting 5.0 before the end of the year, officially. LINK

LG G3 D851: Root before or after Lollipop
My question is do I root now while on Android 4.4.2 or will I be safe to wait until after Lollipop has rolled out? I really want root but I'm afraid that it may not be an option after the update. Any guidance will be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Waiting for device...
Hey, sorry to bug you. I cannot seem to get past Waiting for device...
I've installed the recommended drivers package, I've made sure it's in PTP mode, USB debugging connected, drivers appear to've installed properly: nothing. Just sits there.

My apologies, that's for restoring stock... I see in your posts, you have it set to PTP... Mine was set to MTP. While "waiting for device" was on screen, I unplugged and replugged the phone. Aside from that, seems like you have done everything else properly...
Anyone else having issues making backups of AOSP ROMs? The backup folder is empty.

PurpleDrake issue
i was just rooting my G3 with purpledrake, and while it was doing the permaroot part, purpledrake closed on my computer and now my phone is stuck on a screen showing a red hand with a cross through it and a usb cord plugged into the side of a phone. What should i do?
Hello all,
I was testing and fooling around with my Note 4 SM-910A when I tried rooting my phone again. (Manually) and I did something different giving me root and the bootloader now shows the Custom (unlocked) symbol. Meaning, that I got root and my bootloader was unlocked. Here is some proof:
imgur (DOT) com/2qjJmWs
But there is one catch to it.
You get bricked. AT&T sees that you are rooted and you cannot use your phone unless you restore it to stock or you take it to AT&T store and they will do it for you.
Also you get a : SECURE = FAIL on your scree.
When I got this root, I made an account quickly and then I posted. This is the biggest day for me. I'm gonna try and see if I can bypass the SECURE = FAIL and make it into SECURE = I DON'T EVEN CARE!

If you look into the root progress forum, a couple of us has had the same thing happen. I am hoping that some devs are looking into this. I know how to do this every time now and have to unbrick my phone every time.

I had the same thing happen to me. King root app popped & asked me to try again so I did. (Stupid me) I tried everything I know how to fix this.. In recovery mode I told phone to wipe data factory reset. Still pops up after reboot stating kernal is not seaddroid enforcing then says secure fail kernel and had large yellow triangle saying system software not authorized by at&t has been found etc. Turn off and take to at&t store.
Anyone know how to fix this or have I ruined the phone?

Wow. Don't be lazy. Not cool dude. I did read the whole post and I am trying what was listed. Anyway I wanted to add that my phone has never been rooted. I have tried Kingroot many times with no success. I am running Lollipop 5.1.1 which is locked by AT&T so I am curious if bootloader is locked how this happened or how I will be able to fix this. I will continue to read as I have been doing prior to being called lazy. I have yet to see anyone else state they were running the same OS I am.

The files mentioned in my previous post are the 5.1.1 OS files. I have used them multiple times to recover from a soft-brick. So, YES, I have the same OS Lollipop as you should have. AT&T has locked the bootloader on the Note 4 from the beginning. But in 4.4.4 you could temp-root in order to get rid of some files. But results are so different from phone to phone that a temp-root scenario is complicated to explain. Some work some dont. KINGROOT is also in the same boat, might or not work. You might be able to keep your phone from rebooting or it might freeze and you HAVE to pull the battery. When the battery gets pulled and reboots SOMETIMES you can reboot to a temp-rooted phone, MOST OF THE TIME it soft bricks. All of this information is in either of the posts I linked earlier, so either you're lazy, or you don't understand what you're reading. If you don't understand, then please READ, SEARCH, and RESEARCH.

1) Not a troll. Just someone not knowing what they're doing.
2) ATT reps don't even know the difference between a locked sim and locked bootloader, so they wouldn't know the difference between a hard and soft brick.
3) All you had to do was use Odin to fix the phone. You just traded your phone for a factory refurbished one. Good job!
4) Read the latest forum posts before doing things.

Hey guys. Thought I'd chime in with a little insight here. Had someone call me the other day that tried to root one, and ended up with the same unauthorized software error. Couldn't get to download mode, couldn't get to recovery, couldn't get phone to boot. He took it to AT&T, where they of course told him the phone was "hard bricked". I just used a usb jig and restored it with odin. Did just fine.
This is the jig I used. It was $4.92 on eBay

You wasted $4.92 on ebay, All you got to do is download USB Driver for your phone and install it on your computer. Once this is done, your computer we recognize your soft bricked phone and you can use Odin to reload the firmware.

I think you have to root once the update is on your device as the only way to remove it once it is on the device is to change the firmware.

no that's not true, you do not require root to flash firmware via odin..in fact if your already rooted doing so will unroot your device. but yes you need flash the previous firmware in odin to remove the charging killing update
the important part is keeping the OTA from happening again. most of the package diasablers i know of have been updated and dont work now.
there is an ADB method but the easiest way to prevent it is rooting but the OP doesnt want to root so he is going to ha e to research the other methods i mentioned to find something that works.
short if that get used re flashing the previous firnware over and ovet to get back full charging capability.

no you wont lose anything at all unless you factory reset...that will wipe your device.
that said sometimes a factory reset is needed after flashing in odin so i would move anything you want to keep to your ext SD card just in case then move it back after.
your English is fine my friend no worries!

Thanks to your help, I think I can flash the old rom. Regarding the updates, I would like to use this app: "package disabler pro 6.2"
What do you think about that?

Hope this helps to avoid 60% battery update.
Hi, I'm having a problem downgrading back to before the update. I have the FD version.
If I try to flash the bootloader in Odin, it tells me unsupport dev type and crashes. If i try to flash the twrp, it tells me custom OS installation is locked. What do I need to do? I am noob, never done this before. Please let me know what I need to do to fix this?

Just start reading here from post #204:

However, maybe it's not working for you, if you were already hit by an android security patch in the firmware you actually have. It differs depending from your country or provider specific version. But if you don't get the java.lang.SecurityException, all will be fine. Just try.
I followed 3 threads. Still i cant do it. I ended up like bootloop or stock in logo. Sometimes it success but no wifi and Many errors (too many to mention).
At some point i give up in rooting and unlocking. I just ended up upgrading my phone in verizon software pc just to get back to normal.
I hope there anyone could help me with this. I want that nougat flash rom. ?
Links for thread or video tutorial would be a big thanks.

Which part are you getting stuck on? To be honest most of the guides I've seen have several unnecessary steps in them, but it does require much patience especially if you're a beginner or been out of the game for awhile. I would stick to the original thread by ryanbg and pay close attention to the first ten pages of that thread. That's when everyone was learning it at the same time and a lot of the basics are covered.

And your bootloader is locked still? If you're not sure, are you able to boot to a custom recovery (twrp)? If your bootloader is still locked you will have to use Odin and flash the bpa1 firmware to get back to lollipop (5.1.1). Once you're on 5.1.1 you can unlock and root. There currently is no other way to unlock without using 5.1.1.

You were supposed to bootloop it bud (its an indicator that script in the zip changed your CID) you should now flash recovery then from recovery flash compatible kernel (is why its its bootlooping)
