Accurate Method of LG G3 D855 6.0 root in 2017 - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys i guess this is not appropriate to create a new thread to ask but i am not getting answer and i dont want to brick deviceQ
Question is, i have been facing some issues regarding rooting so please guide me
1) i want to root d855 , what is valid method in 2017, i have seen many videos and red threads but all are different and everyone doesn't have same results, ( some people are complaining that they have bootloop after flashing latest su etc and some are saying they cant root with kingroot and end up bricking with auto recovery)
2) After rooting stock rom, how can i flash latest recovery to flash fulmics and nougat based roms ?
3) what is the purpose of bump if it is even not mentioned in any rooting thread or video ?
Pardon me for any mistake, cant find better place to ask so please guide me ?

1st, you must flash a custom recovery. TWRP is the best. You do that from Odin.
2nd, you boot to TWRP and then, from twrp, you can do whatever you want : flash Supersu, to get root; flash a new, stock or mooded rom, etc.
You can search for all these steps in xda, but this is the general idea.
Hope this helps

Sorry, i said Odin, but this one is for Samsung. For LG, look for some flash tool for your PC, it's the same way.

Actually, tings are a bit different for this phone, compared to Sammy... You have to have root to begin with, in order to flash TWRP . Not the other way around. There is no "some flash tool" that would let you flash a custom recovery on an unrooted G3. If you find a way to do it as you describe, you'll be an instant hero in the community, no doubt...

[Q] just unlocked my phone have some questions please

i am on my way to root it now guys, need help with few questions to remove my confusion. this forum has benn the most helpful for me, i hope i get further answers as well:laugh:
1. what if i root it and dont do anything else , what are its benefits, and will i still get ota
2. if i install a custom ROM , WILL i get ota. and where will be my stock rom and how i can get it back.
3. ehy do ineed to install a custom recovery while rooting.. will it effect my ota and how can i go back to my original recovery. i hope somebody sheds light on all these, as my phone is unlocked and i am waiting for answers to further proceed, thanx
i used jubakuba method to install sdk and pdanet to install driver, it didnot work, it didnot work so i went to samsung website to get latest driver,
what does flashing , reflashing recovery means
1. You'll be able to modify system files and have SuperUser permissions.
2. Assuming you only root and install a custom recovery you will be able to OTA. Your stock ROM gone, you can flash a factory image if you need it back.
3. You need a custom recovery so you can flash custom ROMs.
To be honest I don't think you have any business rooting your phone. You obviously have no need to and lack the drive to research on your own. OTA's also appear important to you so that's another reason to just stick to stock.

Check out Ioroot25. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232
and then after that, Autorec will install TWRP for you. http://www.droidviews.com/install-twrp-recovery-on-lg-g2-running-android-4-4-2-kitkat/
you may get a white line issue when unlocking device after the flash, you will just need to use TWRP to flash the jdi kernal, whcih can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51974589&postcount=281

To root from stock (either 4.2.2 or 4.4.2) use ioroot (I'll attach the version I used for my LS980).
After you're rooted (verify with the Root Checker on Android Play Store or by Terminal Emulator >
Code:
su
Download FreeGee Free from the Google Play Store.
Open FreeGee, let it download the device list, then tap "Backup EFS" I HIGHLY Recommend This, as if you lose your EFS it's nearly impossible to get it back!
After your EFS is backed up, tap on TWRP or CWM, whichever you prefer (Team Win Recovery Project, or ClockWork Mod Recovery).
Now you're all set -- rooted and with a custom recovery installed. For more information about flashing ROMs, look here or ask me. The Sprint G2 is touchy with flashing ROMs with the new update.

Rooting Stock ROM

Guys,
I need help regarding root of Stock ROM Lollipop. 5.0.
I unlocked boot loader, flashed twrp recovery but when it comes to flash rooting tools (Android revolution hd rooting tool) it does not flash and does not root the ROM. In recovery it says failed/ unable to mount cache ...
Am I doing something wrong or it the zip file which may not be compatible with stock rom?
Do you guys have any zip file which can root stock rom or the best would be if there is any rom already rooted but not modified. I like to stick to stock rom but want to get rid of bloatware.
I appreciate any advice, help or solution which may you provide to me.
Please do not ask me to search on google or XDA because I already did it and bother many people in the specific forums. As a result that they could not provide me with the solution I was forced to write in Help& Troubleshooting forum.
all the best,

Don't use a tool.
Download the update SuperSU.zip from here and flash it in recovery.
After the flash, find SuperSU in your app drawer and open it. You will be prompted to update binaries. Do that.
That's it. You are rooted.

I second that. The tool used by the OP is probably not updated to work on Lollipop.
Also, OP should make sure to run an updated version of TWRP (2.8.7) as anything but the last few (several?) versions of TWRP will not work on the Lollipop hboot.

Desperately need root for lg g4 h815 on 6.0 without unlockbootloader

Iam requesting for developers can someone please keep provide on root for lgh815 for locked boot loader on 6.0 instead digging for unofficial boot loader unlock,that will be thankful.
i dream ,i hope so much too...
i have already asked what happen if we flash a zip MM rooted firmware (or imperium) with Chainfire's flashfire ....when we have a rooted Lollipop firmware and an eventual factory-reset with physical buttons...
but never have had answers ...

Its not possible because on the rooted rom, the kernel its modified and when a locked bootloader phone tries to load it on boot...it will fail...
But i believe , in time, someone are going to find a hack/exploit to achieve root on locked phones
I already tried that it leads to bootloop...
i knew about this kernel problem....
but the main question is : why flashfire seem incapable to flash a "full" firmware (kernel included) like lgup/bridge/ota.... ?
And Chainfire have anounced that his flashfire is "the future" for to flash roms and firmwares ...
@xoxey it's nice to have tried
there are options that you have missed ? eventualy...
Root on 6.0 without unlocking bootloader is literally impossible because in Marshmallow Google changed their policy and now to root it you have to have modified boot.img flashed onto your device, original boot image will not allow you to have a root access or use custom recovery. It would be easy to just grab a boot.img of random kernel like SimpleGX or Imperium and flash it via fastboot, but there is a problem - bootloader basically loads your boot and if it locked it will load it only if the boot is signed, unmodified, although it leads to a bootloop. Only way to do this is to unlock it officially, and then, if you don't want to downgrade to 5.1, grab a boot.img of a kernel, flash it via fastboot (because stock boot will not allow you to flash recovery due to causes I have mentioned above), flash the recovery via fastboot, then to void bugs flash the full kernel (any of them, can be different than the one you used before, it just has to be full package) and then simply flash SuperSU v2.67. There is no different possible way to root it on 6.0.

Confusion regarding root and recovery installation

Just bought op5t ..
i used to flash roms on my previous phone s7 edge, n want to root this phone as well
i came across the desired thread but its mentioned for oos 5.1.5 . i want to know if 5.1.7 can be rooted the same way with files provided in the original post of rooting guide thread ??? do i need diffrnt files from those mentioned in the orignl post of the thread as someone said 5.1.5 users need recovery other than twrp .
m just confused , dnt want to brick my new phone
it should be similar.
Do i need to flash a custom kernel as well ??
or just unlocking boatloader, flashing recovery n rooting will suffice??
No, it's optional.
FWIW, I have tried franco kernel & blu_spark. They both work flawlessly.
