Hi ,
I just got my lg g3 d850 at&t- marshmallow(Android 6) and those AT & T Apps are so annoying ,thats why i m trying to root my LG G3 and all the methods are not working gives device not supported error. I have tried purple drake, LG One Click GUI & script, ioroot, and towelroot without success. Can anyone point me to right direction or steps to follow please ,i just want TWRP and flash like cm13 with basic android 6.
Thank you
Sorry, I can't give you specific information here, but I just went through three days of trying to root my D851 t-mobile (finally succeeded last night). You need to know what version of Android 6 that you have on the phone. Go to Settings / About Phone / Software Information. It will be listed as D850nnx, where 'nn' are digits and 'x' is a letter. My understanding is that the first A6 release for these phones is usually rootable. If it is a release later than that, it may very well not be rootable.
BTW, I am also on AT&T, but will use the t-mobile phone because it is easier to root, which was the reason I chose to buy it. On the D851, the first A6 release was D85130D. They have already rolled out the second release, but many of the phones have not OTA'd or been flashed yet.

After finding out what Android release you have, then do a search for "g3 d850nnx root", replacing the nnx with the info you got from the phone settings.
So far only kingroot let me have root access for few minutes and then its stops working.I was able to remove bloatwares from it ,phew.
But not able to flash TWRP or any recovery cause root access stays for few minutes.
i will try with the name as suggested also and will share if it works.
But is there no way around to do it on android 6 yet,really?
Thank you

Earlier today I rooted my LG G3 [VS985] But prior to the root, since verizon has yet to give us the lollipop update, I figured I would update early, I followed jhnom96's guide on youtube ; I rooted with Zedomax's tutorial for lollipop ; After many failed attempts to install TWRP bump for the lg g3 vs985 with flashify and es explorer, I followed all the directions from this guide: a guide by zedomax on how to flash twrp; in which when the device was restarting , I was prompted with this message in the corner of the screen: secure booting error cause boot certification verify lg g3 ; I'm pretty sure it had something to do with me updating to android 5.0.1 early on verizon, but I was wondering there was a solution.
Thanks!
(Sorry, i would post the youtube links but the site won't let me since this is within my first 10 posts, so you'll sadly have to look up each video specifically.)
TWRP hasnt been updated to support Lollipop yet
Well if someone can find a solution somehow, that'd be great.
I just upgraded my phone to the LG G3 because of the good reviews from the things I read online.... and I'm coming from the iPhone.
I had KK installed from the manufacture and I rooted it like.. the day I came home... and yesterday I upgraded to Lollipop.. simply because of the immense amount of update request spam notifications.
I have attempted to root my phone with lollipop 5.0.1 like.. 30ish times using different methods, tips, tricks, programs, whatever... and it all just... does the exact same.
Nothing.
It goes through the download mode, com, etc... "roots" "installs" reboots... everything, and then... Nothing happens. I don't know if I'm just really dumb, or if something was patched, or if nTelos has some sort of custom firmware that patched the root exploit for LG phones... or what. I can't find any threads or topics about ntelos phones and rooting problems, if you have any tips I'd be greatlyyyyyy appreciative.

A guy with AS990 variant and Lollipop confirmed that he managed to root with this link.
It says all LG G3 variants.
Follow instructions carefully and be sure that drivers are installed correctly.

Hmm, it worked with kitkat but I've yet to have it work with lollipop. Idk. The one click gets stuck at 90%... And manually it just says root successful but SU doesn't install and when I check for root confirmation it says my phone is not rooted. Lol.
Sigh

Hello XDA,
I got an LG G4 gifted, and as one of the first things I want to do is to root it. However I seem to have quite some difficulties with it.
My previous phone was a Nexus 4, and I simply rooted with 'Nexus Root Toolkit'.
For this phone there appears to be many, different ways to do that.
First thing I need to be sure is what exact model my G4 is.
In 'Phone Info > Hardware' it simply says H815. In the LG Mobile Support Tool it says H815B (Which gives no result on Google). The phone is from Germany if it helps.
Second thing is that it says I can update to SW version v10c. But when I download the update, it simply throws a 'Invalid Software Package' error at the end of it. The LG Mobile Support Tool says I have no update avalaible instead.
Third thing is that I don't remember if I have to unlock the bootloader to root my phone (did that only once on my N4, forgot if it's needed). If yes, can somebody link me to the appropriate page? (I've read around LG itself released a tool to unlock that?) (Also, I will loose all my data IIRC?)
Last thing, obviously, the most appropriate Root guide for my model. I've read many of them, one requires you to have linux on your PC (Which is a nope), others mentions '10c' (which I suppose is the update I'm unable to get). So far I got myself only very confused. (Root voids warranty? IIRC LG still covers phone with root?)
Thanks in advanced for your help
EDIT: Currently trying with LG Bridge software, seems to work and says my phone is H81520A (So I suppose the part after the device code is the 'SW Version' ?).
EDIT2: Apparently updating with that software worked. Now on v10c (Marshmallow 6.0 - Unless there are other updates waiting)
You can indentify your model by adding your IMEI to the following link: csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=
(look for the field buyer)
The unlock process is described in this thread.
But don't fash SuperSu If you are on Android 6.0, because it will fail to boot. First flash an custom kernel (like this) and then SuperSu.
If you're unable to unlock the bootloader, then there is no possibilty to get root on Android 6.0.
Thanks. It says DEU at the buyer line.
D(eutschland)EU(Europe) I suppose.
And thanks for the link. In the kernel page it says 'download 20a or 20b? What's that number? So I need a Kernel that inclused SuperSU as flashing it on its own will cause that problem in few words?
What about this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/repack-kernel-root-android-6-0-t3232387
From what it seems, it's a custom kernel + root. Would I still need to unlock the bootloader? Perhaps using the 'LG Site' section from the thread you linked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-root-t3128241)?
The software versions are quite strange on lg phones. 20A was the first test version that was released in poland. The official version now is 20B but phones with a branding have different versions. For example my phone has a vodafone branding and has the version 20A, but it is the same as unbranded 20B. (so it's really strange some times)
Look what is written in the settings under software information.
You need to unlock your bootloader to root your phone on Android 6.0 (this will void your warranty). You're right, it seems that SuperSu is already integrated in the kernel so you don't have flash SuperSu separately. But i am not complete sure because i didn't unlock my bootloader.
Thanks a lot for your help.
I managed to unlock the bootloader, but then I fuffed up..
Accidentally installed SuperSU (Was following that guide, and forgot about what you said).
Now the phone is kinda stuck at the very start, with the LG Logo (Not the animated one, the very first one)...
I'm hopeless now? D:
EDIT
I'm trying to recover with this video (LG G4 KDZ Firmware Restore Unbrick and unroot tutorial -- can't post links yet..)
But the LGFlashTool throws an error at 9% (imgur link -- can't post them fully yet) imgurDOTcom/pR1NYHD
EDIT2
Apparently I'm trying to flash a KDZ with Android 5.x while I'm on 6.0, which is a no. Will try with a 6.0 KDZ if I find one...
Else I hope for LG assistance (Or Amazon support, since the phone is less than 1 week old)
EDIT3
No luck with KDZ, but now the phone is going past to the animated logo, but being stuck there..
EDIT4
This saved me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63843511&postcount=146
Worked perfectly, my phone is back and fully working
Sorry, i wasn't online the last couple of hours, but i'm glad that all worked out for you

No problem, you were of great help.
I'm currently not trying to root until there is a safe procedure to do so for 6.0
I don't think that there will be an easier option in the near future. You can make a backup with twrp and try to flash the kernel again.
Mmm, currently I have only the bootloader unlocked. No root, no custom recovery.
I don't feel like to play more with these stuff in the near future, after I nearly bricked the G4
Perhaps later on.
Hello,
My T-Mobile LG G3 was upgraded to D85130E by carrier about 3-weeks ago. and i am facing screen freeze and blackout issue for ever 2 mins & battery life is reduced to only 3 hours. I am not support from T-Mobile, since i am outside of warranty period. I did the factory reset and still the issues are same.
Anybody suggest quick fix for this problem?
Tried to downgrade to D85120E (Lollipop) thru KDZ file:
Here i downloaded the LG flash Tool 2014 and all related drivers and the flash tool stops at 4% while flash KDZ firmware. It happens for multiple attempts when i tried with Win10 and 7 laptops.
Any other flash tools to overcome this issue?
Advance Thanks
Any root option available under d85130e update patch?
Couple days ago my d851 got the update pushed by T Mobile so enthusiastically.... and many good things with d851 turned on into something not very pleased!! Root and TWRP I had before with d85130d are now history and seem to me that there is no possibility to root under this new update, nor even to downgrade. I am curious if anybody rooted succesfully under d85130e and what method they used? Or, if is a way to downgrade to LP ( LGUP and LG Flash doesn't recognize model of d851TN)? Thank you!
Hello,
Any help to resolve LG G3 MM(D85130e) issues? I removed the SD card and did the factory reset, but the issues are still same.
Thx

There is good information on this forum on how to root your k428 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/development/root-twrp-rom-t-mobile-k428-k10-t3582493)
This however, is not possible on anything later than the 10f(?) firmware, due to there being a December 15, 2016 security update.
Firmwares I am pulling from: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-k428sg-firmwares/
My K10 is on the most recent update 20h(?), the only thing I've done is unlock the bootloader. I'm trying to get it down to an earlier firmware version to be able to root. I have tried:
Uppercut with LGUP:
There are two separate errors I get with this. One is when I select refurbish and it gets to about 4% (On LGUP, not the phone) and it says my ".kdz does not allow refurbishing" or something along those lines.
I have tried update as well, and I get an error at 14%(on LGUP, 10% on device) and I get "invalid command response code" (image attached)
I have tried both of these options with 3 different .kdz files, so the problems aren't just unique to one file.
LG Flash Tool 2014:
When I start there is an error saying no connection to the server and no progress indicated on the phone or computer, even after maybe 1/2 hour.
After LGUP, I do have to bring my phone back with LG Bridge Update Error Recovery, but interestingly no data is lost at all so clearly my phone is not being wiped at all.
How have people successfully downgraded their k428 and how do I?
Also, is the k428 the same as the k428sg? I can't seem to figure this out and the firmwares website has slightly different specs.
I have another phone, just really hoping to switch to this one is it seems quicker, isn't running Touchwiz, has a decent camera, more storage... I won't be switching if I can't get this rooted because I have been spoiled by rooted devices.

Having very similar issues, at the moment stuck in a "Firmware update" loop with a T-Mobile K10 K428, after trying to downgrade from 7.0 to 6.0.1.
How are you reverting it to useable form with the LG Bridge app?
It only tells me I have the latest update then goes away.
[nevermind, this part worked]
Managed to bring the device back to functional 7.0 state, but have found no way to downgrade back to 6.0.1.. the regret I feel for allowing the update to happen before rooting the device is indescribable in frikkin words.
Hopefully someone somewhere is working on the root of this computer in Android 7.0, I have 3 of these and I need to do the root to unlock them
