[Q] LG G3 (europe) error when rooting with Purpledrake

Hi
I'm attempting to root my LG G3 model D855 with the PurpleDrake rooting tool, but every time I try to do it the tool comes up with the following error.
Any idea where I'm going wrong and how can I fix it.
I'm running MacOSX.
Thanks

Then thats your problem
Theres no current explots for Lollipop
Downgrade back to KitKat and you can root it and install bumped Lollipop if you wish

Ahh ok. Many thanks. I bought the phone with 5.0 already installed. I think I might just wait for when 5.0 root becomes available.

Pretty sure you can downgrade it if you can find the right KDZ
1) What does it say under software version?
2) Is it carrier branded?
3) What part of Europe are you from? I might be able to find the KDZ for you

Software version V20f-EUR-XX
and I believe it's not carrier branded.

@Sunderwear
Thanks for keeping us N910A users updated with the latest in stock roms. I figure it's a longshot but worth asking, would it be possible to get the older KitKat firmware N910AUCU1BNK3 aka NK3?

Yes, exactly. There is a performance issue with the Gear VR and Lollipop and NK3 is required for the Gear VR, it won't work with N910AUCU1ANIE. That would be excellent if you could.

@Sunderwear said they were looking into it, but unless they're able to select which update they take with their methods of obtaining these tar files I'm not very hopeful they'll be able to get it.

Downgrade H815 (Taiwan Version) from MM TO LP?

Well, I thought buying this phone would end my terrible relationship with ATT's Note 4 for good... Hell it's even an H815 for christ sakes....
But it seems like it can't be rooted on MM due its bootloader being locked :/
Yes, I did try using the official unlock tool but, as some of you know it doesn't work for the Taiwan version (Just my luck).
However, I looked around and saw that the Lollipop version can have root/twrp installed WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader.
In conclusion, my question is............. will I be able to downgrade from MM to Lollipop?
(H815 Taiwan Version)

From what I know the H815 model can be unlocked. But I think it's only the International one. There's an unofficial unlock in the works, just look around on the forums, haven't been that interested 'cause I'm rocking an International model

I tried using the Official unlock tool but, it doesn't support the Taiwan version, even though it's an H815 :/

Lollipop, or LP, is version 5.1. Just look at the KDZ files that are Android 5.1

Nope.

depends if phone can be downgraded.. some phone have antirollback.. example i have h811 and if am on lastest 20pMM its V3 so i can only downgrade to MM 20o... if i was on MM20i i could downgrade to LP 10n as 10n and 20i are V2.. so you need to ask what antirollback version your phone is.. some can.. and some phone cant be downgraded after you on specific firmware... try the hidden menu and check the software then scroll down and it says wich antirollback you are on. otherwise youll hard brick phone.

One has to wonder if anti-rollback is permanent on the device or not, even with bootloader unlocking and or root access.
Root is now quit possible with the new vulnerabilities found. Now it seems to be a wait and see game if there are any devs that care to tackle certain G4 models that cannot be self-rooted yet. The dirty cow code is out...so yeah.

If you want clean 7.1.1 then try LineageOS or if you want some tweaks and advanced settings crDroid
But there are plenty of good roms to chose from
Good luck with root...i hope you will manage to do it
And a little tip...avoid the latest version of TWRP recovery...use 3.1.0.0 or lower version

Downgrade to a lower version first, and root from there.
Install a custom recovery and your custom ROM of choice will bring you to the latest version.

Glad to hear you got it sorted. Yes, LineageOS is pretty amazing, it's mindboggling sometimes that it's free!
Hopefully you enjoy it and start giving back to the community when and how you can!
