LG G3 D852 Lollipop Root Android 5.0

Does anyone know of a way to root the LG G3 D852 running Android 5.0 Lollipop after the OTA update that recently came out?
I already tried using the CM12 nightly rom that runs Lollipop but it loses some much features from the LG G3 such as double tap to wake and I dislike the style of CM12 a lot.
Any help at all? I don’t want to use Cyanogen Mod at all.

This method only works with Kitkat. So far there is no method to root Lollipop. You will have to downgrade to kitkat then root again and follow this thread written by autoprime http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412

Someone will have to make a stock flashable zip including root. This is something I'm attempting, but having very little success in doing due to the bumping of the kernel.

Hopefully someone will be able to figure this out -- I'll gladly donate to anybody that can root the LG G3 D852 with the Lollipop update. I am already missing Cloudy5 but decided to try out the update. I am very disappointed -- Rogers / LG seriously crippled Lollipop and many of the best features are gone. Even the lock screen notifications suck compared to AOSP ROMs. Eager to go back, may need to go back to KitKat, root again, then re-install Cloudy5.

I don't know enough about it but am trying to learn as well, unfortunately i'm only a geek and not a techy geek. What I was hoping to do was flash back to KK then root/custom recovery and then flash system.img using the LG flashtool, so that I could have official Lollipop only rooted.
I was trying to follow this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4s6wrpD2Gk, but it's not enough for me to go on, perhaps it can help put someone else in the right direction.
I've got the kzd file for if anyone needs it.

It looks like Lollipop rooting has begun

Hi @cytherean,
Thanks for the mention.
I am going to work on uploading a YouTube video tutorial for the steps that I did so that owners of other LG G3 variants may try if it works for them.
I would say though, to try @autoprime's method first because that's exactly what I did. I merely added a minor/extra "manual" step to his procedure which is to "bump" the Lollipop boot.img of the D858HK (as the online "bumping" service is already taken down - I was too late in the game, unfortunately).
Stay tuned!
PS: would you guys recommend for me to create a thread solely for this? If yes, I'd probably name it with "D858HK" and then others can post and report their findings, so that I can update the thread title. Or do you suggest I just keep it under @autoprime's thread (or the D858HK thread)?
The only reason I am thinking of creating a thread is to increase visibility into the procedure. Rest assured that I always give credit to all the things I have learned through reading and discovering the process.
UPDATE: I decided to create a thread. At this point, I have tested and re-tested the procedure; it works for the D858HK (100% success rate). http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-update-to-lollipop-root-bumpd-twrp-t3048845
Inviting owners of other LG G3 variants to try too, and let me know if it works.

Ive just picked up one of these tablets and managed to root it and install custom revcovery.
To be honest I think there are zero custom ROM for this device and the supposed Lollipop ROM on those spam sites are bound to be a load of virus. I have seem three or four such 3 part download sites all of which are hidden behind a survey. All the comments on the sites are exactly the same but are posted by different people depending what site you look at which indicates they can't be trusted.
I have tweeted Lenovo to see if they plan a Lollipop update but no reply yet.
I think we need to either need to learn how to port or find a dev that can do it

Really nice to see your response, would you be kind enough to inbox me with your custom recovery. I really need to even get the stock rom to reflash if you could help. Thanks so much for replying and if we can get someone interested in porting to LP i would happy to contribute.

There isn't a Lollipop ROM yet for A7600f. It is possible to root and get custom recovery installed but as far as I can tell there is no official lollipop update or custom ROM development at all

I checked the link and it is for the S8 smartphone which also as model number A7600. If you have that smartphone you test it at your own risk but if you are talking about a rom for A7600F tablet it won't be compatible.
As Lenovo don't seem to be official updating the A7600F tablet im guessing we need a custom rom. Unfortunately I don't think it's that popular a tablet so won't pull in developers and regrettably I'm not skilled enough to even know where to start.

I received the s8 a7600 with android 5.0 - it looks like that OS is just installed by seller, with multiple application that are a huge adware/spam generators. I tried to remove all (root/remove apps), but it destroys a little the functionality (dialer has opacity - not so easy to find what is going on, camera not working at all). But generally works. If anyone has skills - I am sure it can be easy fixed (for example install 3rdparty dialer - but that one from lenovo is pretty fine). But I think I will update phone with stock ROM, but I need to find how to do that safely and be sure I can back to the actual software...

A bit of a necro here ...
Yep, it is a long-winded guide. I wrote everything as best I could just in case.
I'd be surprised if more than 5 people are still looking to root this device. But for those folks, I updated the guide tonight.
I hadn't used the tablet much until this past week, my phone was doing better and I was only using the tablet for streaming videos as a portable TV. However my phone died and I finally got around to re-rooting the tablet (I has lost root after applying an OTA update about a year ago).
And no, there are not any custom ROMs ... no Lollipop ... no Marshmallow ... never Nougat ... for this tablet. This guide is PURELY for getting root on 4.4.
That said, here is the short version ... this MAY work on a never-rooted A10 A7600F ... it may only work to REFRESH the root. I have no good way of knowing as there isn't a chance in hell I'm going to revert everything to stock to find out
Glad to know at least 10 people got help from the guide.
UPDATE 9/22/2016:
Revised Steps are simple:
* Download Kingo Root (not King Root, that failed) APK version for Android.
* Run Kingo Root.
* If it fails, reboot, and try again (mine failed the first time)
* Assuming Kingo Root worked the second time (if not, see the original detailed steps below) ... DON'T REBOOT yet (when I did this, the root disappeared, so I had to run Kingo Root a 3rd time)
* Install a Root Checker and verify root access
* Install (first time) or uninstall and re-install (updating is fine if yours was out of date) SuperSU by Chainfire (other SuperSU may or may not work, Chainfire worked for me)
REBOOT
* Re-run Root Checker to verify root access (don't run Kingo Root before this) ... it should be using SuperSU to grant root, NOT Kingo
* If rooted, uninstall Kingo Root
* REBOOT
* Re-run Root Checker to make sure SuperSU continued to work after removing Kingo Root.

There are multiple "A7600" devices out there. This is specifically for the A7600F, aka the A10. Different device, ROMs not compatible with other A7600 devices. Lenovo can burn in hell both for their lack of updates as well as their naming conventions.

Hi all,
I have ported a CM13 ROM to this device to bring us to Android 6.0.1. if anyone is interested I will start a thread for and provide instructions and a link later today.

Petition for Lollipop Update

Feel free to sign it
https://www.change.org/p/john-j-leg...utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink

Encourage your friends who have m919 to sign this!
Dear m919 users, let's come together to sign this petition to put some pressure on T-mobile to update m919 to lollipop.

Signed it

Signed it

I signed it anyway but just an FYI , youcan flash the lollipop roms and kernel from the i9505 forum. The Tmobile m919 and the i9505 as well as the 1337 are the same phone with the same specs. The only difference is the LTE frequencies for high speed data, which can be adjusted with a carrier unlock. I honestly don't think T-mobile will release Lollipop for our 2 year old phones, especially with Android M around the corner and the new phones from apple samsung etc. I have flashed countless I9505 lollipop roms on my tmobile m919 with kernels with no issues at all.
So far this is the best most stable Lollipop TW rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427629.

It's a nice idea but T-Mo has abandoned the phone for all but serious security issues (like Stagefright which prompted the OH3 release). In fact I doubt any carrier for any phone will at this point initiate a new lollipop build, with M around the corner. Sure, there might be lollipop builds still in the queue that will come out for a few more months.
For what's worth, I updated my M919 phone to OH3, ran it through its paces, and found when I went to Camera the first time it did a firmware update for the camera. I wonder if that will help with some of the camera bugs floating around out there.
But just the boot sequences T-mo gives are so noisy and annoying, and I had forgotten about them for the year I was on SlimKat. I quickly flashed a Danvdh's Lollipop GPE ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539361
Unless you need T-Mo proprietary features (wifi calling, primarily) your best bet is just to update firmware to the latest, then if you want lollipop, flash a ROM.

If you want mid or long-term support for OS updates on your android phone, I got bad news for you
http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...f-support-lifetimes-for-ios-vs-nexus-devices/
Our beloved T-mobile S4 started with Android 4.2.2 at release (T-mobile version came out early May 2013)
Was updated to Android 4.4.4 (September 2014).
Total of ... 17 months of OS update support (granted there have been other updates, i.e. NK2 4.4.4 and Stagefright).
So you buy your phone on Day 1 of release with a 2-year contract, and they've basically stopped doing any significant updates 7 months before your contract is even over.
For a phone that has the hardware to run the latest and greatest, this is some pretty sorry sh*t.

Pretty sure you don't. Albe95's I9505 S6 port should work just fine. You can find that in the I9505 development forum. There's a port of Albe95's port in the Tmo S4 development forum that was last updated 8/11/15. I haven't tried it, but if you do let us know how you like it.

Signed and gave them my two cents worth -----> "The S4 is still working and is my daily driver. I spent $500 on this phone, the least you could do is update it to Lollipop which isn't even the latest OS from Android. The Canadian version of this phone SGH-M919V has Lollipop, why can't we?"

Xposed is tricky on LP so google how to install on lollipop for the guide. It requires a .zip and flashing from recovery, to get xposed working.

Oh by the way -- You can download the Kernel from here. You must use this app since the creator of the kernel is requesting anyone who wants the kernel to download it from here using his app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andromo.dev276950.app412222&hl=en

This might sound silly but which one of the rom downloads should we pic from his page for the 910t?
Thanks in advance!

sorry i was writing to fast its for N910T and yes it's his n910G MM rom

N910G MM rom

Lol... Now I can't find N910G on his download page...?

Which kernel is it? I've only found the 5.1.1 for the tmobile version. There is a marshmallow one for the F and G models of the note 4, is that the one I flash?

yes

doesn't work for N910W8, stuck on bootloop, could be the AEL kernel problem, but I can't find any other MM kernel could be working on my phone

Hey I booted on my N910T! It took a decent amount of time until I finally booted. Remember anything above 15 minutes means that you're most likely not gonna boot. Give your devices a considerable amount of time.
The experience here is like no other -- It's extremely smooth and you also get the S7 edge.

Thank you guys. Glad you like it.

What's are some of the bugs that we are facing on this ROM. Does it support xposed if anybody tested it out. If yes i will definitely try it out.

Got to the glowing samsung logo, but it just keeps doing that tiny vibration over and over again, and never fully boots. Probably has to do with my W8 though.

So we download the N910G MM version that says not to flash on any other variant? Or N910LP, but asking...cause the title says 6.0.1

I think if you flash just one and not try others you are short changing yourself. At that point you may has well not even unlocked your phone, stay full stock.
Looking to flash just one Rom is like just trying one flavor of ice cream and then deciding all other flavors are not worthy. Do not let someone tell you what is best, try as many as you can, then you tell yourself which is best for you. Each has its own advantages and each has it own flaws only you can say which you like best. As for the word Stable, they are all about the same... Some are more out of date but that does not effect its stability. Try them all and have fun.

Each has its own advantages and each has it own flaws only you can say which you like best. As for the word Stable, they are all about the same... Some are more out of date but that does not effect its stability. Try them all and have fun.

Is there a safe way to downgrade to MM? I'm in Nougat 7.1.1 with Dec 2017 patch. with dual sim variant. I want to flash MM 6.0 or 6.1 with Nov or Dec 2016 patch.
I know i have to unlock bootloader. What i need a file for MM 6.0/6.1 with Nov.Dec 2016 patch and a link to do a downgrade.
I would appreciate any response.

NEVER try to downgrade => permanently bricked phone.
ie if you're on nougat, DON'T try to go back to MM.

I think it would only bricked if i update back again to nougat, right? I dont mind staying in rooted MM than to be uptodate with N which drain battery faster

I have heard it both ways - bricked on MM or bricked on return to N. It's your phone. Just realize the chance you are taking.
I have found @AmulyaX 's
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/development/rom-aospextended-rom-v4-6-amulyax-t3735010
(7.1.2) to be fantastic on battery life. Much better than MM. It's what I use most of the time these days until Oreo gets sussed.

Thank you for this. I've just unlocked my bootloader and will flash it. Wheres the stable TWRP that could backup EFS perhaps? Could you provide link for rooting?

Sorry for big delay - life keeps getting in the way...
TWRP that backs up EFS here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...overy-unofficial-twrp-3-2-1-0-option-t3743116
I had somebody's 3.2.1-0 and after second attempt was able to get it to flash it (choose "image")
Remember, with these TWRPs when you boot to it, the screen seems locked at menu so just tap pwr button and tap again and slide to unlock and you're good to go.
Scroll down Backup screen to see box for EFS.
There's also an app that backs up EFS (root I think).
For root I believe all I did was flash majisk 1530 zip in TWRP. -
To do that: flash ROM, flash gapps, install, then reboot to TWRP and flash 1530.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk
second post.
Oh I see 1531 is out, so try that.
1530 or 1531 will auto install magisk mgr so you don't have to do anything. root plus safetynet. Works fine for me. I'll be back in a bit.

good night, I'm using several ROMs and testing on my zplay bike, the problems I'm encountering I've flagged. if I answered with the problems is because I liked the ROM, because the other ROMs that I did not like, nor signaled any mistakes. today I am in the last version of 8.1 AOSP, tomorrow I will quote bugs.

This should help. don't forget to use the patcher in the code at the top if you haven't already or you won't be able to restore stock backups.
