Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!

will there be an update to the PurpleDrake method on the D851 with the new 10m update? for it to work properly?

YOu can still get rooted if u are on 10m. I did. It wont exit properly so u will need to pull the battery after it is done.

Correct. However, it does not install TWRP, nor the custom Boot.IMG to prevent triggering the root counter. I too would like to see an update to include these items.

I see your concern.. you can manually install twrp but i have no idea bout the boot.img
i did all except that. Someone mentioned you can flash back to stock and it will fix the root counter. If you ever need to send in your phone that is... but i do understand its easier if this would be one package kind of thing.

IDK how to even check that yet. LOL. I have already rooted and unrooted, just to familiarize myself with the process.

Does this root method work on the t-mobile D851 10M

Yes, but as stated above, it will glitch. The glitch just freezes on the permaroot steps. Once this happens, removing the battery and rebooting still keeps your device rooted. With 10M, currently, you will have to manually install TWRP. I recommend downloading the IMG file online, and using Flashify to flash it.

Thank you for the response. Do you think its worth rooting since 5.0 is coming out soon? I still want to root but will I have to unroot in order to get the 5.0 upgrade? or better yet, will the LG get the upgrade any time soon. Sorry for these questions. And also, since this phone has the top notch camera resolution, will rooting affect the camera?

I unrooted to ensure I get the update. If you are rooted, and have not turned off OTA, you might get the OTA, and it might break something. I personally like the LG camera better than any other so far. Another reason I went back to stock. Rooting and keeping the stock OS, should leave the camera alone. If you flash a different ROM, your mileage may vary.
We should be getting 5.0 before the end of the year, officially. LINK

LG G3 D851: Root before or after Lollipop
My question is do I root now while on Android 4.4.2 or will I be safe to wait until after Lollipop has rolled out? I really want root but I'm afraid that it may not be an option after the update. Any guidance will be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Waiting for device...
Hey, sorry to bug you. I cannot seem to get past Waiting for device...
I've installed the recommended drivers package, I've made sure it's in PTP mode, USB debugging connected, drivers appear to've installed properly: nothing. Just sits there.
Anything I could be missing? D851 running 4.4.2, Windows 7

My apologies, that's for restoring stock... I see in your posts, you have it set to PTP... Mine was set to MTP. While "waiting for device" was on screen, I unplugged and replugged the phone. Aside from that, seems like you have done everything else properly...

Anyone else having issues making backups of AOSP ROMs? The backup folder is empty.

PurpleDrake issue

kingroot failing

hi all,
I am in desperate need of some help. I have a retail verizon note 4 on 5.1.1 BPA1 eMMC starts with 15, all the prereqs to unlock the bootloader. For some reason Kingroot never succeeds. I have factory reset, tried kingroot version 4.9.2 and a bunch of other lower versions. It always resets phone around 52-55%. I have literally been trying kingroot all day. Please help Ive searched but have no idea why I cannot get a temp root to run the scripts I need root! lol

I think there has been some miscommunication. If KingRoot fails try Kingoroot instead.
Looks like you download it from here: www.kingoapp.com

FYI: looks like some people do not trust it. It looks no more sketchy than Kingroot to me but your mileage may vary. PSA
Here is a dedicated thread to supporting it: XDA discussions
Kingroot worked fine for me so I have not tried it.

kingo Root worked for me, now I will finally be able to unlock the boot loader.
thank you for the post on this was driving me crazy

I used the apk instead of the PC version, worked the first time

kingroot failing use kingoroot
Just to confirm no version of kingroot apk or pc would root my note 4 always failed. Tried kingoroot and worked the 1st time. Good luck!

I'd strongly recommend once you get root to install a custom ROM. Any one will work.
Part of installing most ROMs is the requirement to wipe the data partition. Format the data partition as well as wipe it. That should remove any remnants of Kingroot. Make sure anything you have saved to your internal storage... pictures, music, etc... is moved off before you wipe/format.
Format the SD card that you used to unlock the bootloader and if you have stuff on your daily driver SD card that you can replace, format that as well. One never knows what sort of cooties Kingroot leaves on a phone. It's best to disinfect as best as you can.

i'm also unable to gain root with either kingroot or kingoroot (pc & android versions) Anyone else having this issue, if so how did you gain perm root?

Kingoroot loses the root after reboot
The first root is OK. But it won't shut down smoothly, need to take out battery. After the reboot, the root is gone. Bootloarder is not successful. Is there anything wrong on my Note 4, 5.1.1, BPA1 baseband version?

I have rooted with kingoroot the 1st time. I was able to proceed through all the steps and change the CID, But not a DEV phone yet. I need to run the steps again. kingoroot say rooted, but when I check with root checker it says not rooted. kingroot just restarts the phone.
Update, I kept rebooting and root took about 30 try's. I was able to complete and phone is not DEV

The kingOroot webpage isn't loading in chrome at all (at least the link provided above).. maybe we need mirrors in case it was taken down?
EDIT: I managed to load it into edge.. but where do you find older versions in case the current version fails? (Or is that issue just kingroot?)

After following the guide above, you will gain root on BPA1.
Then from there, you'll use this guide by hsbadr, to upgrade to marshmallow. It's a long process, but it's worth it. Also, make sure that you have a mobile data connection during the marshmallow upgrade, because your Wi-Fi won't work. After you've update to CPJ2 using this guide, you can then flash EmotionOS.

I forgot to tell you that if Kingo Root doesn't work, try King Root. Also, if you get a root successful message, don't even use root checker, as long as you know you've got root. Just move into the adb steps, temp root is very touchy and can reboot your phone at any time, so try to go through the adb steps quickly.

Used king root and learned to be real quick.
I then pasted all those ABD commands and got twrp installed but when I rebooted, I got boot loops. :-/
so I booted into recovery and wound up installing Jasmine rom 4.3 ( Mjust happened to have on my original old micro sd ) to avoid starting all over, and it seems to have taken!
Looks like I still have root.
Seems to run fine without installing oscar Kernel and SUper SU, should I still install those two?
Can I uninstall king root?
Im thinking I should make a backup through twrp, what do you think?
Thnaks again, can't wait to proceed to Hsbard's 7.1.1!

Yeah, you should probably make a backup in twrp, just so you don't have to start over again if anything goes wrong. Were you running 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 before you flashed JasmineROM?

Seems to run fine without installing oscar Kernel .

Okay, so it seems like you're on the correct baseband, however, you probably shouldn't have flashed JasmineROM after rooting. You skipped the second guide that I posted. After you root stock 5.1.1 BPA1, you then need to upgrade to 6.0.1 from there before you can flash EmotionOS. I'm not entirely sure if you can still use the second guide that I posted since you're no longer on stock BPA1. For the most part, I think that you can, so if you're willing to risk it, use that second guide I posted to update to 6.0.1, this is also where you'll be needing a data connection since the your Wi-Fi won't be working.

Honestly, I have no idea what the problem could be, as I'm on T-Mobile and not Verizon. Try asking around the CM13 thread and see if another VZW user has the same issue.

I have found a working temp root method for 5.1.1

I found a bootloader unlock method for the Verizon variant of this phone, however after trying it on my phone I was able to get temp root on my AT&T Note 4. I have not tried to unlock the bootloader yet, but I will keep you guys posted.
Here is the link: galaxynote4root/galaxy-note-4-root/how-to-root-unlock-bootloader-on-galaxy-note-4/2/ (add .com infront of the first root , I can't post links yet)
(Make sure that on step 9 and up to change the file name in the command to n4-2 instead of n4-fix)
(Download everything except the Verizon stuff)
Final edit: This method only works for root, the bootloader can't be unlocked for AT&T because there was never a developer edition released for it.
Note: The root is extremely buggy and unstable, so it is not that usable. Hopefully someone else can make a root better for this device.

How did the temp root go? Doesn't it reboot after a while and then lose the root?

It is very unstable and slow but it works, I'm probably going to install a different rom if I can unlock the bootloader.

Great going buddy!
How long has it been running with root? Does it survive a reboot?
I do hope you can unlock the bootloader, so we csn install custom ROMs and Kernels!

It does not survive a reboot, however root although it slows the phone down seems to be working fine. I'm still trying to unlock the bootloader.

Nice to see someone take the bold risk. I hope you find success. I think everyone blew this off because this method was for Verizon and it tricks the phone to make it recognized as a Devloper model who come bootloader unlocked. AT&T does not have developer model devices so chances are this method will not unlock 910A bootloaders.

Wish you luck! There's a bounty thread here somewhere..
I saw on the other thread you temp bricked your phone attempting a bootloader unlock..hope you do unlock it without bricking your phone..

This temp-root doesn't let us access the system partition
This type of root has been recognized by this community for several months and we dismissed as worthless because DM-Verity removes the root after every reboot and I am surprised you guys haven't gotten a brick yet because, on Android 5.1.1, Samsung added a security method where if anyone roots with Kingroot/KingORoot and reboot, you get a message saying that the kernel isn't from AT&T before fully booting up

I unbricked it, bootloader can't be unlocked though, also I realized that kingoroot works on 5.1.1. It might be due to the file that I pushed for temp root, so now I have temp root on my phone that isn't that unstable.

Thanks for attempting to root though. We might have to look into other exploits to get a stable one. Or maybe there isnt one and its the end of the road on our journey to find it.

Update on how kingroot workin now?

ok, so first of all
Go into Download mode. How to get there?
Turn off your phone entirely, and then when it has been fully turned off, hold down the power button, home button, and volume down button all at once until you get a warning screen. Press the volume down button and it should give you all the information about the phone without the system being all jacked up
Its should say if you have SM-N910F (International Variant) or SM-N910A (AT&T Variant)

HELP. TL:DR tried 3 thread still back to lock and unroot

I followed 3 threads. Still i cant do it. I ended up like bootloop or stock in logo. Sometimes it success but no wifi and Many errors (too many to mention).
At some point i give up in rooting and unlocking. I just ended up upgrading my phone in verizon software pc just to get back to normal.
I hope there anyone could help me with this. I want that nougat flash rom. ?

Which part are you getting stuck on? To be honest most of the guides I've seen have several unnecessary steps in them, but it does require much patience especially if you're a beginner or been out of the game for awhile. I would stick to the original thread by ryanbg and pay close attention to the first ten pages of that thread. That's when everyone was learning it at the same time and a lot of the basics are covered.

And your bootloader is locked still? If you're not sure, are you able to boot to a custom recovery (twrp)? If your bootloader is still locked you will have to use Odin and flash the bpa1 firmware to get back to lollipop (5.1.1). Once you're on 5.1.1 you can unlock and root. There currently is no other way to unlock without using 5.1.1.

You were supposed to bootloop it bud (its an indicator that script in the zip changed your CID) you should now flash recovery then from recovery flash compatible kernel (is why its its bootlooping)
