Hello, i just got my OP3 a few hours ago, it came with OOS 3.2.5
So all i wanna do is just Root and have TWRP for now, what's the easiest way? The toolkit? is it updated or outdated now based on my Rom?
I Also watched some videos on how to unlock the bootloader, just want an easy way to root without messing too much, wanna appreciate the phone pure stock for now (with root ofc)

Hey guys, i'm having a lot of trouble rooting my LG G3. It is the D855 unlocked variant running Android 5.0, Kernel 3.4.0, Soft Ver V21a-EUR-XX. (If there is any more info needed, let me know.)
I've must have tried 6 or 7 different root methods but they all fail in various ways. I've used IORoot, OneClick, Towelroot, KingRoot, Stump Root and more. Can anyone suggest a viable root method for me or know why all these root methods fail?
EDIT: I upgraded to 6.0 and i'm just gonna stick with that for the time-being instead of installing a custom ROM. I tried to delete the thread but couldn't see where the option was.
Thanks,
Tom
Hmm I think 5.0 was supported, so perhaps you are not doing some of the steps properly? Are you following the steps in one of the tutorials around the forum?
Anyways newer versions cannot be rooted, you need to downgrade to KitKat first, root, install custom recovery and then install a custom ROM which will update your OS.
I highly recommend a good clean AOSP based 7.1.1 ROM for performance -- LineageOS is a great contender.
My LG G3 is very fast and snappy on AOSP 7.1.1 and it's 2 years old. As such I don't feel the need to upgrade my device for at least a few more years (as long as possible really) on the contrary of some people who seem to like spending money on a new phone every year (which I can't afford to do anyway -- both money wise and environmentally wise)
Hi, been away a while and have spent the last 3 hours reading but still a little confused and don't want to brick my wifes 'new' lg g4 (13b). I would like to root but am getting confused w/ all the possible options:

I simply want the safest / easiest method to root and install twrp. I'll likely flash the multi-window mod and hotspot mod and thats about it. Also, if there is a debloated stable rom i ought to flash on this please advise as well. Thanks for any tips!!! I'm really in a frozen state and don't know what the latest best options are available since i rooted my G4 nearly two years ago!!!
No TWRP available for VS986 due to locked bootloader.
Easiest way would be to use a saved rooted image.
I used the method in second link to learn how to root the image myself.
Hi,
I'm not brand new in rooting, but seems like I messed up.
So I would like to root my LG G3 (D855) and install custom rom, so here are few questions about it.
1) I would like to make full backup of my current rom (all apps, settings, everything included) in a case if I will have to return to stock rom. How do I do it?
2) I know how to root my phone and install custom rom, which one would you recommend me? I would like to install android Noughat 7.1
3) after installing that rom how do I root it once again? Last time when I rooted and installed custom rom, seems like my phone wasn't rooted anymore after installing it
4) on that custom rom, I would like to play Pokemon Go, which requiers unrooted phone (even if my phone wasn't rooted, or at least i think it wasn't. I was still unable to play pokemon go, was it due custom rom?). So any method to play Pokemon GO on that custom rom.
Thank you all in advance
UP. No help?
Just don't install LineageOS 14.1 (Nougat) or one based on it as if your device is rooted, you will have problems trying to get root back! I have tried EVERY method on here and recommended and NOTHING! GRRR!
AFAIK, Pokemon Go will work on a rooted phone. I managed to use it on my rooted S7 last year. I don't know where you heard this, or perhaps, they have changed it recently so you can't..

First, you need to apply for unlock boot loader from Xiaomi website http://en.miui.com/unlock/, and unlock you boot loader.
Then you can install Twrp, and root or install room as you wish.
for root flash magisk

Hello all, sorry if I've happened to missed the guides.
I've rooted a few phones in the past and installed custom rooms, however, I do so infrequently and every time things change.
I only have a loose grasp of GIS roms, so I'll just let that one slide.
I have the mi A2 lite (obviously) and would like to root it or get a custom room that works well.
I don't mind stock, since it is not bloated.
I installed twrp, upgraded from android 8 to 9, then twrp disappeared.
I've read somewhere that I need to disable encryption for twrp, but maybe that's no longer possible that I'm on Android 9.
If I stay stock, will or will I not be able to continue OTA?
TL;DR: Hoping for a basic guide for how to root. I wouldn't mind custom rom, but stock is fine.
Thanks!
You dont have to install TWRP for root
You could install magisk and get OTA updates
