I am working on rooting my Telus LG G4. I have done a bunch of research and I noticed that LG has finally allowed people to root and void warranty in europe. Has anyone done this in Canada? Does this work on MM in Canada?
My other option is to downgrade to LL, I have already downloaded the KDZ I need and LGUP. I have everything backed up, before i go about this has anyone downgraded with success?
Thanks again I miss having custom rom installed, Plus we all know the LG G4 has its negative im hoping the roms will help with them.

As I have done some more research I see custom roms will not happen but there are WAY more reasons I want root on this thing. Again thanks everyone.

I have a Korean version LG G3 (LG-F400L) with latest lollipop rom version F400L200g,
Is there any solution to ROOT it? Since I have tried IORoot, PurpleDrake, Roottool....... but all fail.
Thanks a lot.

No there isnt unless you downgrade to KitKat
But it seems i cant find any KitKat firmwares for the F400L online
f400
In as much as the g3 is a GREAT "looking" fone with "some" great aspects.
after going thru the issues i have met with my korean version, LG has created A DISASTER
there are more than 12 dif. versions none is even close to the other.
the korean versions are ORPHANS they have download and recovery entries issues no developers
ONLY the d855 seems to have a bit of a base.
my advise look for a kitkat KDZ file or TOT and load them via download root it with towel root and don't ever think about
doing anything else.
this is my first and last ever LG fone.
even the ONE+ has better developers than this crap.
google f400k 10a or 10e files and load them, root with towel root and be happy
the kdz 10a or 10e are available in some vietnamese boards
supposedly they have the 20e and 20h versions and after loading these under recovery
if you go back also under recovery and load a preset superuser 2.39 you're supposed to be able to root it
it never worked for me, once i set the lollipop, i have no way of getting into recovery mode and if i do both
under TWRP to fone craps
i personally am waiting for the ONE+ TWO and will give this one away, it's a LEMON.
good luck

I've read this post like 100 times now, and i still don't know what to do.
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G3%2FStock%2F
I know my model is D855, but there are a lot of versions with the same name, i'm not sure which one is the right for me.
I'm running 5.0 Lollipop on my G3 and wanting to downgrade back to Kitkat for root. (I don't even know why i updated to Lollipop in the first place).
Also i need to download the correct software version that i need to downgrade to (ie. KitKat), but i cannot tell the difference.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Do some research into the LG Flash Tool.
As long as the software is compatible with D855 you''re good! There can be different builds such as (last 3 digits) 10r or 10c, but they are essentially the same thing with just minor changes. If it's cleared for the D855 you'll be good.
There is setup that must be performed on the Flash Tool, so make sure you follow the steps in various guides attentively. I would tell you what you need to do, but I cannot remember every detail.
A lot of the guides for downgrading will be found in the same areas as guides for rooting because downgrading must be done in order for some root methods to work.

Any kitkat build for the D855 will suffice. I remember doing TOT, but I'm not familiar with Kdz so I cannot answer that.
I have recently rooted my US Cellular G3, and now want to update it to Lollipop 5.0. If I use the regular LG Mobile support, will it get rid of my root? If so, can anyone post a flashable ROM that is just stock 5.0? I downloaded the 5.0 KDZ for the US Cellular phone, and extracted the System, Boot, and Modem.imgs, but the system.img isnt flashing correctly, leaving it soft bricked(Thank the lord form backups). If anyone know anything or could help me I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
wrong section and u can update and root after

Sorry, Im new to posting on the forums
I'd say use ADB to push the IMG files but I'm not sure if the lollipop root method would work on USC variant. I don't see much about that variant on the forums and I actually don't think I have seen the USC model # listed in any ROM topics here
I bought my LG G3 D851 brand new. As soon as I charged it and powered up I got a notice for a system upgrade. Naturally I did it. So it made Lollipop 5.0.1 on my phone. My next step was to root it. Well that's when the hell started. There several guides and tutorials. None are working. I'm with Wind Mobile in Canada ?. Not that that should matter should it? My question is will I be able revert my firmware back to the original and root it easily.? I was told that trying to root with ? is not likely going to work. How can I put my phone back to the "out of the box" state so I can root it?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
I'm tired of the problems and struggle I've had attempting to use my rooted G4. I'm currently on 13b rooted and it's been giving me problems. It randomly reboots and doesn't start up at times. And it's so sluggish. I've gotten a replacement because I flashed the wrong kdz. I just want my phone to work without all these problems. I just want to get to the stock Verizon MM for my G4. Is this possible?
You should be able to flash the MM kdz - they can be found here in the general section. Be sure to verify it is the correct kdz.
Keep in mind once you go to MM you won't be able to achieve root without downgrading back to LP. I think there is a downgrade thread here in general as well if you need it.

Thank you I just downloaded the KDZ and flashed via LG UP. It installed without any problems. I'm aware that you can't root on MM, I'm ok with that. I need a break from rooting after all of this. Thank you I appreciate it!
Glad to see someone here not happy with rooting the G4. I don't find it worth the risk or the benefits worth it without the ability to flash custom roms. I've never rooted a phone without there being a way to install a custom recovery.
For anyone interested, The Android Central podcast discussed the topic of rooting and flashing roms a bit on their most recent episode. Most of them agreed that there isn't as much of a need anymore to root and flash roms and that it's kind of died down a bit. Features that people used to have to root their phones for are now available on most stock roms.

i know at the end of the video it says close the app, but dont, just start it and you be upgraded to MM in no time just make sure upgrade is checked
if you want to start fresh, then you can just do what my video says to get refurbished checked
if you upgrade with a rooted rom you have to factory reset your phone inorder for MM to boot
