I have the G3 D850 running Android Lollipop(5.0), and i haven't been able to find any info about rooting it. I have seen Xsposed running on Lollipop, but not on a G3. Anyone have/know of a rooted G3??? Thanks!
Afaik, there isn't a root method for lollipop on the g3 yet...
There are many threads indicating the procedure.
You have tip downgrade to kitkat, root, install recovery, install rooted lollipop.

So, I want to root my LG G3 so that I can install Cyanogenmod 12 on it. But the rooting methods online don't seem to work. My phone is running official Android Lollipop (5.0). It was a OTA update. Is it because I updated over the air that I'm not able to root it or something else? Please help me. Thanks.

You really need to search the forum before posting, theres been loads of threads about this, there is no root method currently for lollipop on the lg g3, you have to downgrade to kitkat using one if the firmware files, root kitkat with available methods, install custom recovery and then flash whichever rom you would like.
so i just used the kdz method to upgrade my phone to lolllipop . so the question is that if there is a way root it.

I got my G4 2 days ago and I really want to root it, but unfortunately I realised I have an H815P model and can't be bootloader unlocked, so I can't root it.
I looked around for ways to get past this little inconvenience and found there is a way to root without an unlocked bootloader. The problem now is, this method seems a little old and was originally created for Lollipop, but my phone shipped with Marshmallow already installed and on firmware version 20D.
So the question I want to ask is, will the method of extracting the system.img and injecting root and flashing that back, work with Marshmallow and my variant of the G4?
And if that is indeed possible and will work, will the root files from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765) work with Marshmallow, or is it specific to Lollipop?
EDIT: Another link to a tutorial about extracting the system.img and injecting root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/tut-guide-step-step-guide-rooting-h818p-t3227798); will this tutorial and root files work with Marshmallow and my variant, or is it also Lollipop specific?
Something else I also want to add: my phone info in settings says it's an H815P model, but the Droid Info app on the play store reports it as a 'regular' H815. Does this make a difference, or is it just the app's inability to report the proper variant?
I'm really only interested in getting root, as I don't intend to flash custom ROMs; I just want to use one or two apps that require root, like Titanium Backup, and I'm sure there must be a way to get this device rooted.

You cannot root on marshmallow.. I downgraded my device to Lollipop using KDZ files and then injected root by flashing the rootedsystem image
If you have a H815P device you can't unlock the Bootloader so the only way to root it -for now -is on Lollipop. To get root access on your device you have to do this:
1. Downgrade to 10c (Android 5.1) w/ LGUP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803)
2. Get root access on 10c (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765) (don't listen to the warning not to use on H815P .. it works)
I have an H815P device and this worked for me yesterday..

This would mean then that I won't be able to upgrade to Marshmallow, or any other upgrades that comes after that?
U will be able to go back to stock. When u decide u don't want root anymore u can just flash the correct kdz for h815p and u back to stock
---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------
Also you dont have to flash H815 kdz u can just extract your current system img and inject root with a ubuntu vm
check out this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
Both methods work well ive tried both on my device
You can always upgrade via LGUP but if you want to have root access so you must be on LP
Thank you everyone for your help and advice. I've downgraded and rooted now and it worked, with a slight side-effect; the downgrade formatted my internal storage and I lost all my pictures and other data
I wish the guides were a little more clear about this, that downgrading would format your internal storage, as well. At least I'm rooted now.
So, can anyone recommend an undelete program that actually works and can restore my lost pictures, specifically?
Hi,
I've recently decided to root my lg g3 but all methods I found on xda didn't work (king/kingoroot, towelroot, purpledrake, etc.).
My phone model is d855 running android marshmallow update v30b-260-06.
Also i'd like to install custom rom with nougat with good battery life and stability(and root of course).
I know how to flash roms but i can't root my device to install twrp.
Ask if you need any further information about my phone.
Same here i changed my phone motherboad here in. India now kingroot 4.5.6 not rooting this board.
So first i downgrade to kitkate than root easily
U can try it too.
