[Q] Need help rooting Lg G3 Vs985

So Friday i went to verizon and bought me a new LG G3 phone, 32G memory 3G RAM, you know the good **** LOL. Well when i got home i wanted to root the phone but when i looked it up there was many options, IOROOT, TowelRoot, and Stump Root. So i tried towel root on the phone but when i clicked the button towel root said my device isnt compatible and my phones build is the VS98510B. So at that point i decided to try IOROOT. When i launched the batch file i made sure i made myself a developer, got the proper drivers, made it connect via usb and set the phone connection to Ethernet. Well in the batch file it said everything was good and that i just needed to click any button to continue well i did that but when i clicked a button it simply closed the batch file. All i clicked was the space bar and it closed. Stump root isnt compatible and im afraid to use bruteforce mode. Any one got any help with this? Andriod Kitkat 4.4.2

Use the brut force method in stump. Takes about 5 minutes.

So when i root it do i need to back up anything? Ive heard of whats called TWRP but idk what that is

I used stump root. My phones still works. You can't install twrp because bootloader is still locked, have to wait for a way to unlock it.

Read a bit here TWRP is a recovery and backup software for when you flash a custom ROM.. You're not flashing any custom ROMs just yet.. So... I don't think you need to backup anything just yet. After you root the phone you can use TWRP to backup your current stock ROM .. Good luck ..
:good:

I used ioroot with no problems. Check out this vid, pretty straight fwd on what you need to do.

My pleasure Hope you can find root using the desired software.. I'm in Korea..using the F400k but the latest update (v10l) couldn't find root using any of the available tools.. so.. I had to downgrade to the previous (v10g) and got root again. :victory:

How to root my LG G3 (i have searched already!)

Hi guys,
I might get flamed, I might not.
I have searched on google on how to root my LG G3. I have used towelroot and it says something like it isn't compatible. I used stump root and it says its patched. I used purple drake and I manage to find my device but the error comes up about vulnerability.
Luckily with PDrake, I found my software version as I have been seeing 10f 10e etc everywhere and it seems mine is a v20f.
Into google it went and the search it very minimal on answers.
Do I have to rollback the software to a kit kat version in order to root??? Is there any other way or more importantly is it a safe way?
All I really wanted to do was change some of the UI sounds and I cant access the system folder without a root!
P.S. Is there up to date, guide on how to roll back?
Thanks!

Yes, you have to go back to kitkat, then I used IOroot and then install twrp via Bump

Dammit, so downgrading it is.. <_< Been searching and you have to download custom ROMs? They are labelled with 10g/10f, are these related to the version of the phone?
Sorry, not clued up on all the jargon/acrynoms.

This what I need? It says back to stock but I am assuming its just for the version you want?
I have gone through the files and not sure which one I dl?
Im from the UK, on three.
EDIT: @ Raptor - Not sure what you mean but its the LG G3, D855 v20f 16gb.
Seems it is the link I am supposed to be one, thanks.
Just not sure what rom I should be picking.

Ok nice, so D855 16GB from UK and unbranded ?
This KDZ should work. It will bring you to V10A, so Kitkat, and after that you can root.
If you have issues downgrading, I suggest you ask in the other thread, it is especially for this step.
Good luck.
BTW: doing that will erase all your data on your phone.

Again im not sure if it is branded or not. Its an LG G3, is LG not the brand? lol Sorry!
Thanks for the link, clicked it in another tab and doesn't seem to be working but ill figure it out.
So doing this process wipes my phone? So much for just wanting custom UI sounds :haha: No way around the phone wiping? I mean most of my stuff is backed on google+ but its just tiresome considering I have just put everything on there already with the phone being new..........
Thanks again.

What I mean by branded is that you might have some Vodaphone software on it or from an other carrier. Unbranded means it's a pure LG phone unmodified by the carrier.
LL can't be rooted so you have to downgrade to KK.
For doing so you need to factory reset your phone using a KDZ or a TOT file, and there is no way around wiping the thing doing that.
Yeah that's a lot to modify a sound, but eh that's the deal as of now. And mind that if you downgrade to KK and root, you can't get back to LL if you are rooted. (Well you can but your phone will become a brick)
If you want a rooted LL, you need a custom rom like CloudyG3 for example.

Cheers for reply, already hit that thanks button.
Seems a lot for custom UI sounds, think ill wait until someone develops something. In the mean time I will continue to search for the ability to mod the system audio file without a root

Sorry to hijack, but can I confirm that the way to go from stock lollipop to rooted lollipop is to downgrade to Kitkat using the links above, then root, then install a rooted Lollipop rom?
Thanks

Yes. LL has been rooted, but it´s way more complicated than previous versions of Android. You can wait, but it could be weeks, months or years for an universal safe and stable method
And the G3's locked bootloader isn't helping too....

Need help with bypassing bootloader unlock (EE) UK

Gone through the LG dev site, put in IMEI and Device ID, message pops up saying
the page at developer.lge.com says:
Unfortunately, your device (EE,UK) does not support unlocking the bootloader.
Is there a way around this, I would like to root my phone...and this whole "hold" over my android device isn't good at all.
EDIT, Sorry, i've got the LG G4 which is the phone in question, not the LG G3 as stated in my Sig.

Should be able to root using the method in the root thread with no issues.
As far as getting a G4 on EE, go via CarphoneWarehouse as you get a Euro unlocked device and not an EE branded device.

Dam that's a *****. I'm wondering if you could flash the KDZ of the EURO unlocked device and convert it from an EE device to an unlocked one. I know this used to be possible with Samsung device, this is my first LG (apart from a Nexus) so not fully up to speed on these things yet. May be worth investigating though.

does this low level root actually bypass the "not being able to unlock bootloader" ??

If your worried about not picking the right version, then I would avoid proceeding with that method. As if it isn't one of the version in the OP, you need to change the commands too. Post a screenshot of your Software Info screen and I'll point you in the right direction.
But you need to read through both those posts before proceeding to understand what your doing.

As far as I can tell, you only have a carrier specific version of software and no actual hardware differences from H815 itself, which makes sense EE just using their own software (like the twats they are). This being the case you should be able to proceed with flashing the H815-10c image and gain root, this may also mean you can unlock the bootloader.
If the worst happens and you can't boot, you can just use a kdz image to revert to stock following the guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
You can gain a stock KDZ with this url, replace 'YOURIMEIHERE' with your imei number:

I'll be the serious guy...
Theoretically (meaning I take no responsibility for what might/might not happen, and of course have not seen confirmation of this working except over Lollipop)...yes you could root with the low effort root if you're on M.
All you're doing is flashing a rooted Lollipop image over the stock one, so yeah you'd be going back to Lollipop but yeah you'd also be rooted. It's a downgrade but I suppose it would do for the time being if you really wanted root and for some reason took the M upgrade without wanting to.

I don't think the Lollipop image would work. Root would need to be injected into a M image.
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

The reason he was being sarcastic is because there is no way to know if we can root M until it actually comes out. It's like asking if the LG G5 will be rootable, no way to know until it's out.

I tend to agree, I was just saying in theory it would work...
People used to downgrade from LP to KK with pre-rooted images.
But yeah the 100% surefire answer at this point is who freakin knows. I'm sure a root will come along eventually, just gotta give the developers some time.

In all seriousness it most likely will not work. Android M will almost certainly come with upgraded boot.img, etc and most new phones with locked bootloaders are preventing downgrading and/or preventing of unsigned images so its quite likely we will not be able to downgrade. This is my first locked LG device so I could be wrong about the G4.
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

Yea no one really knows. Lollipop really made rooting complicated. Phones like the G2 and G3 were able to use older partition firmwares that were still rootable but required KitKat parts. With the G4 having stock lollipop, it was more complicated.
I suspect that we will always be able to root similarly how we did already. The USB>COM>flash a custom rooted system image should still be an option. This method is how the LG updater tool works. If they block access to that, then everything will break.
I have faith that we will be ok but like everyone said above, we won't know until it is released.

If that bootloader is unlocked and the good ol' legendary Chain man has a nice, sweet, hot binary in SuperSU to shove up that there thang. Then, I don't see why not. You can root through TWRP or whatever custom recovery you choose to use to overwrite the partition when you're boot scootin' boogied.

Google is really trying to lock their OS down. They make it harder to root, and now Android Pay won't work on rooted phones and they have an API for developers now to restrict or prevent use if the OS is modified.

This is a stupid question that's why it was answered sarcatically. Its a new version, so when root is out it would be posted or if someone tries the old root and it worked they would post it. Otherwise you would ask if anyone is working on the root. You basically asked if a new phone coming out if it will be rootable.
Also why are people asking tmobile questions in a verizon thread.

No root possible on verizon MM. They plugged the hole so we are no longer able to pull and push the rooted system images like we were.
The V10 is facing a similar issue and they've been at it longer. So until then, I just disabled the System Update app in settings.

ARGGGHHH

When updating to a big android update (Lollipop - Marshmallow) it's always best to do a factory reset afterwards because bugs come up just from updating.
If you have any issues after the factory reset then I'd be worried.

That would be a different process than I did before, do you where I can find correct, detailed info on this?
Also is KingRoot safe? I haven't done much research into that, but for some reason I vaguely remember seeing something about that apk. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Also is this permanent? I read a kingroot method that would be cleared after reboot.

Thanks dksoni411
With only one reply (question) to this method, I am curious if anyone else that has tried this on an D850 can post their experience. I don't want to end up with a brick. HA!
Anyone?
