Hi,
I just upgraded my phone yesterday(via LG PC Suite - didn't get the FOTA) and obviously my phone isn't rooted anymore.
Looked around here for a method to re-root it and didn't find any solution for my version...
Already tried the latest KingRoot and no support yet.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Same here. :-|

You'll need to downgrade to a lower version.
V30B and down is rootable.

you can also root V30C
this could be helpfull KDZ, Tools, Root etc.
V30D is rootable with Kingroot. If you upgraded to V30N, you'll have to downgrade to 30B, C, D or F.

What version of Kingroot? I tried the latest(NewKingrootV5.0.4) yesterday and it said no support...
Last time I used version 5.0.3 and it worked perfectly.
If not, try to follow the guide bellow:

Nope KingRoot isn't able to root the phone(get stuck at around 56% and then says that it can't root and lets you submit a request).

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.
Sent from my LG-D855
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

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.

For now there is no root options for Lollipop. Go back to KK, root phone and install already rooted version of lollipop.

So I was a happy camper following the purpledrake rooting method for my LGG3 (D851) and then made the rookie mistake of upgrading to 10r. Now it seems my SuperSU doesnt work (no binaries found). Root Checker says Root access denied. Xposed Installer is not up to date as it doesn't have root permissions. How do I get out of this? Tried looking for downgrading from 10r, but couldnt find anything solid. Should I downgrade or wait to re-root 10r?

i think you can try rooting with kingroot, then flashing twrp, then flash cm13. Though I have not tried this method before. From what I read kingroot only gives temporary root which lasts a reboot so you gotta download everything, root, install autorec from play store, then reboot into twrp and flash.
Don't try Autorec method on Marsmallow rom. It will hard brick your phone (it's hard to repair it for inexperienced user).
What I recommended is tot method for retrieving stock lollipop. Then you can try root and Autorec.

Hi Guys,
I hope somebody can help me....I have a G3 with a stock Android 6.0 and would like to install LineageOS 15.1. instead, but so far I did not manage to root it.
I already tried:
- Purple Drake lite (downloading the PurpleDrake-Lite_R03.tar.gz)
- LG One Click root 1.3 (both linux and windows version - by the way, the main OS I work with is linux Ubuntu and I have WIN7 64 Bit on a Virtual Machine)
- Towelroot.apk
- Kingroot apk
no luck
Can you direct me to a solution? I read somewhere that all a.m. hacks are only for G3 with Lollipop...do I have to downgrade to Android 5 first? If yes, how to? Please go easy with the explanations...I am not an android expert and I would like to avoid ending up with a brick

Yes, you need to downgrade to one of the first versions of lollipop with lgup and root with kingoroot or kingroot. Then install the app that downgrades bootloader to kitkat(I forget what it is called). Then you can flash twrp and lineage os.
If you can't find the app that downgrades the bootloader, I can upload it.

No success further...I downloaded and installed lgup Ver_1_14_3, all I get when I start the program is "there is no handset connected, no matter if I set the G3 to MTP or PTP
Is it because I am trying via my VM with WIN7 and not from the host? If yes, can I "cure" it?
P.S. I reinstalled LGUP again (LGUP_8974_DLL_Ver_0_5_CODEFIRE.MSI first and then LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3.msi) and now get the select model window, but all it says Model "unkwnown" COM-Ports [COM4] and if I click SELECT I get "You have to select a known model"
