I recently bought an unlocked g3 off ebay with the latest update. Kingroot doens't work and so far i guess the only way to root it would be to downgrade first but i'm a total noob to rooting and the only threads i've found on that have invalid links to the tools i'd need. Was wondering if somebody could help me out with a crystal clear eli5 guide to rooting or w/e i need to do to downgrade then root. Thanks.

Kingroot 4.1 failed for me on D85120g with the message, "Root Failed no strategy now". It looked promising at first as it had a root now buttom but root checker says no root access.
Same issue
I have the same set-up on my g3 device and have tried both one-click root methods and get no where.. I've also tried stump, kingo root, and towelroot with no results either... Any ideas??? I have all adb and android sdk setup on pc(win10) with all versions of consumer and dev drivers..

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.

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 ..

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

Can i root my lg g4 with this version? And how?
Sure. Perfectly. At least two different ways. If you do not need and care about device encryption just search for the low effort root in this LG G4 Forum original Android Development. Search for a flashable 10C rom.
If you need device encryption, go to LG unlock your bootloader officialy, flash TWRP and flash su.
Thread for this is right here in General G4. Called complete Guide to unlock & Flash H815 or similar.

Hi, unfortunately this happened to me (more than once) when I tried rooting the first time. You'll need to download the stock image files and the LG Flash Tool to start over from scratch. I'd link you but I don't have enough posts yet to be able to.
The trick is to make sure the rooted image file is over 4 gigs when extracted, I ran into issues multiple times where the download got corrupted along the way and ended up being a few hundred meg. Keep trying and once you get the right files the Low Effort Root is amazing.
Good luck and if you need any more help please let me know!
Let me start by saying I APOLOGIZE, As I know this may not be the right section but I've asked there as well and couldn't find help. I feel as though I've exhausted all my resources and still can't get my Gpad to root. I've tried the one click method, kingroot, towelroot, various ADB scripts. You name it I tried them all out there. Is there anyone out there that knows how I can get this device rooted? For the past 3 weeks alone my mission had been to simply very this tablet rooted.
Sorry but I think we are lost no Root for this tablet with lollipop 5.0.2 and the bad part no exist a KDZ or TOT to back to stock.
Damn that's what I was fearing. I may just have to return it as, being NON ROOTED is not an option for me. I'll probably get a Nexus.

Not saying that I don't believe you, but would you mind posting screenshots? I'm terribly curious.
And if you are cool with it, I'd like to work with you to get a dump of the 5.0.2 ROM. Maybe we can package it in to a zip for others.
Thanks!

Excellent. Thank you!
This tablet came to me as 5.0.2 and I rooted it with LG One Click Root. Then while trying to fully enable tethering and half drunk I partially-bricked it (it would boot to a black screen and after a moment start adbd) so I flashed the 4.4.2 test-keys image and successfully rooted again with One Click Root (obviously). The trick is to change the COM port of the download mode driver from COM21 to COM17, as One Click Root expects the device to use COM17. Before starting, boot into download mode with the button combo (powered off, hold volume up while plugging in USB cord) and use Device Manager to change the port of the "LGE Mobile USB Serial Port" to COM17. It may take a few moments for the tablet to show up in Device Manager. Reboot the tablet. Now One Click Root will run through smoothly in one shot.

As far as I undestand yes. You need an specific LP version but Im still trying to find out this. The thing is that every root method is now outdated and my phone came from warranty with a newer version. I just dont know how to proceed.

Things to consider:
Windows 10 may not work. I tried for over a day trying to backup my stock system.img using Windows 10 until some guy from another forum told me Windows 10 was probably having incompatibilities with the drivers.
Rooting. I had to make a VirtualBox virtual machine running the last version of Ubuntu (Took me 10 mins in total -downloading-setting the VM) but I also downloaded the files directly to Windows and copied them to Ubuntu. When I was rooting Ubuntu was missing files that were not compatible to copy & paste from Windows to the Ubuntu VM. So download the root_inject files directly to Ubuntu.

Yup that is the low effort root. That one is good when you have a stock room available, in your case V10N.
I went with the Ubuntu one because the version my carrier installed seems to work pretty good so I just needed root and had to do the 3 step rooting method with Ubuntu.
Enjoy!

well i just have root and xposed installed... .
i was told i idnt have balls to unlock bootloader... if he only knew
well i guess you dont know. as you told me i could not root and use xposed without bootloader unlocked.. guess i prove you wrong. as for grow balls dont even go there.. you dont know and once again i can prove you wrong... this isnt directed at you pakito someone else that siad those things.. he said bootloader can be relock and ive never said it couldnt do it.. all i wanted was warrranty. as even new 6xx are getting bootloops...
Whoever said it was not possible to root and xposed with locked bootloader is clearly living in the past. I had Xposed before I sent my phone to warranty, right now Im just trying to figure out why is not installing on my device.
