[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.
Sent from my LG G3

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

Yes,
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.

how to root and install a good stable rom

Hi ,
I am new here , I have a lg g3 d852 ( Canadian version ) on rogers network. I am currently on the lolipop 5.0.1 and this sucks. The phone lags and the battery drains quick. I was just wondering if I could get some input on how to install a good rom which is stable , no lag and good battery . I dont want to mess up the phone. I guess i need to back up my data first , then root the phone and then install a new rom. I was thinking just to got back to kitkat 4.4 but is there a better rom right now. any suggestions would be great thanks

Yeah okay... So if you want a new ROM proceed with rooting your device, you have plenty of guides around, since you are on lollipop follow with installing benders autorec (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/apk-flash-twrp-autorec-thanks-to-t3081396), flash TWRP with it, flash new ROM.
Or solution two without installing bedners autorec: restore to kitkat via kdz, root, flash bumped twrp for your device.
For custom ROMs I would recommend you Blisspop. UI interracition is flawless, the moment you click something, you get it, no lag.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-blisspop-v2-0-ls990-t3022685
For stock based ROMs I would recommend you Cloudy. It has laggs on UI same as the stock one, but it's debloated and pretty much better then stock one in my experience.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-cloudyg3-1-0-t2917467
Happy flashing and best of luck. DO backups! Always!

What have you tried already?
I suggest this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
If you failed with every root method you found here on xda what you could do is revert to older firmware via kdz, which wont be patched and you will be able to root your device.

revert to stock
hi , i dont know what the stock rom was, when i turned on my lg g3 for the first time , just started to update the android software. I was thinking to downgrade to 4.4 kitkat, but dont you have to root the phone to downgrade.
Any links to downgrade from 5.0.1 lollipop to kitkat 4.4 or 4.2. , so from there i would follow the instructions to root the phone . any suggestions would be great thanks

Hello,
anyone succeeded in rooting the Firmware 30c without troubles? And is TWRP possible? Last time i tried with Autorec i got a hard bricked phone.

Which model......if you have d855 then Install kingroot. Gain root access with it.then install autorec for mm......after install twrp flash Hasianpermisso zip....reboot uninstall kingroot and again boot into twrp flash super su....done. But you have to install latest kingroot apk also after getting root don't close kingroot app...

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.

Make sure to use the TOT method. If you are on Marshmallow, use the .dll for lollipop(in general thread for LG G3)
Then you can easily root using Stump(google stump apk). For this you will have to enable Unknown sources. Let Stump bruteforce and it will root. Then you can install TWRP and the marshmallow zip for your device. Lastly, go into TWRP and flash your zip.

I would greatly appreciated if you can help me with this. So it seems that something got messed up. I tried to downgrade using the LGUP method and when the phone reboots, I get the android bot on its back with an exclamation mark. I can get into to download mode so I tried using the method mentioned above and I get a message to remove the battery and restart the process basically. Is there anything I can do to salvage the phone? Please let me know if you know how or if you can direct me to the right link. Thanks in advance.

So, how do I go about rooting a G3 on 6.0? My firmware's V30o, so I know I have to downgrade, but it's not exactly clear to me how I should do that. How do I proceed after downgrading? Kernel's 3.4.0 if that matters.

Not sure as I don't have a D855 but check this post. The link there has Kingroot. If that works to give you temp root you can uses Flashify to install TWRP. If that is successful you could then flash a perm root like SuperSU or Magisk I suppose.

Same phone here. No way to root...
Followed marcdw link :
- copied the 4 files on internal phone's storage.
- installed Kingroot V4.6.5, then launched... it says : No root strategy
I've tried many things to downgrade the phone to android 5 or 4, unsuccessfully.
May I'm doing mistakes, it's 1st time I'm doing this...
So if there is a perfect solution, I'll be happy to flash this phone
