[Q] How to root LG G3 D855 on Lollipop.

I was wondering if there was some method for rooting the LG G3 on Android 5.0 (Lollipop). I've searched far and wide on the internet but have found nothing so far. I did see that there were methods for the Nexus devices but nothing for LG.

Would like this as well. I thought I could live a while without root.. Seems like I just can't. :crying:

I think that you can find already rooted lollipop version on the forum.
For now, i nowhere found any root options.

now it's impossible to root lollypop via purpledrake, ioroot or other programs but you can flash a rooted bumped rom.
I'll wait for this.

Same situation here.
Planned to use the pre-rooted lollipop but to use it you need twrp on the phone. To get twrp you need first root. So its a dead end, a points on b and b points back on a, both needing the other present first.....
Maybe if you flash an older kdz, root it with any of the previous methods, then get twrp on the phone and then flash the pre-rooted lollipop. Im just gonna wait for a lollipoproot without twrp needed.

I am on 5.0 and tried purpledrake (since i used it with 4.4.2), but it did not work, i also tried Stump and got an error too. With 5.0 the structure has changed and the methods for KK are different to Lollipop. So far, even with Nexus, the only way to root is through bootloader/kernel.
Hopefully soon we will see a method that can bypass this.
This is the method that works on the d855 by skin1980 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-lollipop-rooted-rom-skin1980-t2936022

Yup, thats the reason why i downgraded it to KK. Downgrade, root and you can install rooted L.

Does that work then? I'm on Lollipop 20a on the D855. If i install the KK kdz, will it make the phone rootable again? I read something to do with the boot loader not reverting back to how it was before lollipop

Downgrade to KK, root it and flash prerooted Lollipop.

Use this guide to downgrade http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
(you can flash almost any KK KDZ, v10x of course, but make sure it's for your device)
Root it with your preferred root method (i prefer Purple Drake)
BUMP it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2900614
Now you can flash the bumped roms you'll like. Just make sure, it's for your device.

Did you use lollipop auto-rec to install TWRP. Which will put the proper boot loader, and download with kernel. Then you go to TWRP and install radio and ROM after a wipe.
I believe someone said it came back with a firmware issue. But I will have to tot, back and verify.

i have not installed auto rec bcoz . i hv heared after installing autorec some lines issue on on screen....please suggest if its safe

if possible then give me link of autorec from play store

Cm12 is based on jellybean boot loader.
Lollipop boot loader is on stock.
KitKat is for those on custom stock based pure lollipop code.
I'm hoping I can verify something as to if only lollipop Roms can use the new auto-rec due to something in coding or something else.

Lg ls890 zvg
autore. apk tht u given is not running on my phone...
i jave ls980 with twrp recovery installed....and i m ron rooted stock zvc...
also help in this scnerio can i install zvg through terp recovery

Since I already have to be on ZVG and rooted in order to install this... what is the purpose of installing the Full version of this? wouldn't it just get me what I already have?

Good question, I believe it was in the thought that we could jump from zvc,zvd, or zve into it. But firmware, seems to be an issue. Upgraded firmware breaks coming from a different version.

i can't root my stock zvg
i installed stock zvg with adb sideload. but i can't root it! this root method is stucking at %90. is there any root method except this?

Mine would stick at 90%, I waited quite a while and figured it for stuck. So I rebooted and checked, i was rooted.

Have you tried the non graphic version 1.2.

Stuck at initial boot
For some reason I can't seem to boot for the first time after flashing. I am stuck on the LG logo waited around half a hour and got nothing.
Tried Re-Flashing it from recovery, doesn't seem to work.
Before flashing this, I TOT'ed back to ZVE, took OTA, Rooted with LG One Click Root, got TWRP installed with AutoRec (the Lollipop one) and sim unlocked with http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...click-tool-sim-unlock-network-manual-t3114446
Luckily I backed up my stock ZVG ROM. Any clues on what to do?

If I downgrade to Lollipop from Marshmallow can I root?

Hi Guys,
I tried rooting my Marhsmallow LG G4 now and I couldn't get passed the step where you type in "ID" in accordance with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765.
I read somewhere that it was because I upgraded to MarshMallow.
Now - I want to know - If I downgrade to Lollipop can I follow the above root again and it will work?
Thanks!

Yeah.its possible. I returned lollipop from mm using LG up. Used to inject root and I'm using currently my g4 with root access.my recommend try to inject root. You don't need to open bootloader lock.

I think you have to flash v30b. Kingroot is not working good with v30c. But before do anything make sure your phone model. D850 or d855.

I was applied the process on MM v30b....so you have to be on v30b global marshmallow Rom and try multiple time with king root
