Is rooting using phone terminal possible?

Is it possible to root the sprint gnex using a android terminal? I can't seem to get the universal root method to work using ubuntu. I am still a Linux newb so that is more likely the cause.

no.
rooting every nexus device is essentially the same thing
unlock bootloader
flash or boot custom recovery
install superSU.zip or use TWRP with built in rooting capability...
you cant use android terminal for it, you need to use a computer....its not difficult

To root using the phone terminal you would need... root access. It's like saying "Can I get to the key behidn this door by using the key behind the door?"

Maybe from another phone as the host, haha.

I installed shiny Rom which isn't pre rooted. The superuser app on the market has a link to a flashable zip file on their website. That's what worked for me when I didn't have access to my pc to do it via abd.

[Q] Rooting with Purpledrake

I am trying to root with Purpledrake on Linux. My G3 is 10v. When it's temprooting, it gets stuck on waiting for device.

Use Stump Root v1.2.0! Its a apk search google! then install super su and busybox from playstore

Unable to use either

I'd love to use Stump Root v1.2.0 but it's telling me the device is patched, sorry. I have the same error as OP with purple drake. Any solutions?

Did you download and install the LG G3 USB drivers? My G3 was using other drivers that seemed to work, but it hung I believe at the same point you're referencing. After I installed the G3 drivers, rooting went easy peasy.

Use LG Flash Tool to downgrade to an earlier build. Go down to 10c. 10c works flawlessly with stump root. I couldn't get Purple Drake to work either.

I want to root

Hello everyone, I want to root my LG g3 running 5.0.1 and I would like to use LG one click root. My question is how would I go about installing twrp or another custom recovery? Sorry I'm really new to rooting

Well rooting is really easy if you want to use vroot. Just search for vroot or iroot (an .apk that runs on your phone without connecting to a PC.) After you're rooted, just search through twrp threads on how to flash a recovery and unlocking your bootloader. If your bootloader is locked, you will end up bricking your device so be careful and do your homework first. Good luck

Sadly it didn't work but my phone software said modified. I checked with root checker and it told me I didn't have root. I used Verizon update assistant to bring it back to official software

Sorry it didn't work out for you. Keep searching threads and topics. There is a lot of support for the G3 on here. Wish I could be of more help to you, but sadly I only have the LG Intuition and there isn't any support for my device at all. If I come across something I will post it on here for you.

Rooting w/ Kingroot (if it works) is only temproot, as soon as you reboot the phone root is gone. So this tute doesn't really give you the whole process to achieve perm root on your G3.

You have to download the latest version of Kingroot. I think it's 4.9.something. The links on some of the pages are to earlier versions that didn't work for me either. Search for the latest Kingroot version. I don't think it was on the main website.
To be honest I don;'t like Kingroot at all.
It installs it's self as a system app and puts this purify program on (and btw it's a temp root on the LG G3, if you restart , you have to do it again). And it seems to have issues with SuperUser once you flash the ROM. Some appz would get root access and others wouldn't. It was quite annoying. I am waiting for a Stock.zip of MM to come out before I go back to it. For now I would stick to LP 30E Bloatware free. Very easy to root.
And if anyone that is reading this knows how to get MM to stop asking you if you want to wipe your ass for every little thing tell me how to disable it. Every time I connect it to my PC, it's like "are you sure you want to allow USB connection?". No I slipped and it plugged in all by it's self! Even when doing some of the most basic stuff, it asks 'Allow' or 'Deny'? Extremely annoying. The only thing that is a plus is the Bluetooth function. It doesn't ask you to enter the '0000' or '11111' code when connecting different devices like it does on LP, KK, JB, and ICS.
Edit: The Kingroot version that worked for me was NewKingrootV4.9.6_C151_B329_en_release_2016_09_30.apk. I think the one on the Kingroot website is older and named "NewKingrootV4.9.6_C151_B309_en_release_2016_08_18_105203.apk". Just do a search for the former and it should work to temp Root MM. Remember, if you restart the phone the Root will go away.
Once you temp root it, download TWRP's latest version, twrp-3.0.0-0-d851.img or what ever and put it in the phones main directory. Then download the terminal emulator that has the green android fella on it from the play store and type these commands in:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp-3.0.0-0-d851.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
reboot recovery
(Just make sure in the line "dd if=/sdcard/twrp-3.0.0-0-d851.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery" you type the name of the TWRP img you put in the phone.

lg g3 d851 30g not root kingroot.apk
hy guys
plse help me lg g3 d851-30g devices unrooted.

Kingroot 4.1 can root Kitkat/LP but not Marshallow. I tried Kingroot 5.2 on MM did not work either so I end up downgrade to KK/LP and root it. Then can flash custom roms. For MM I seen method on other forum just a bit complicated to do it.

Try this method from PonchosoftX and if it's unclear, then I'm sure that he would be glad to help. Perhaps if you're successful, then post any tips or tricks in this thread.

Is it safe to root with KingRoot or KingoRoot?

I don't want to unlock the bootloader. All I want is root to run AdAway.
Would you recommend one-click root tools such as KingRoot or KingoRoot? Are they safe? Has anyone tested them? Thanks.
Also wondering if I will be able to install OTAs if i root with those tools.

I know alot of noobie samsung users use that stuff, but its thirdparty warez made from ppl in china and what not, theres been issues a few times when developers found out what happens when you use apps or programs like that, some discovered suspicious apps being installed and hidden during the process some also found data being collected from the phone and sent to server data storages and sold to companies, i wouldnt recomend using apps like that.
