LG G3 D852 Lollipop Root Android 5.0

Does anyone know of a way to root the LG G3 D852 running Android 5.0 Lollipop after the OTA update that recently came out?
I already tried using the CM12 nightly rom that runs Lollipop but it loses some much features from the LG G3 such as double tap to wake and I dislike the style of CM12 a lot.
Any help at all? I don’t want to use Cyanogen Mod at all.

This method only works with Kitkat. So far there is no method to root Lollipop. You will have to downgrade to kitkat then root again and follow this thread written by autoprime http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412

Someone will have to make a stock flashable zip including root. This is something I'm attempting, but having very little success in doing due to the bumping of the kernel.

Hopefully someone will be able to figure this out -- I'll gladly donate to anybody that can root the LG G3 D852 with the Lollipop update. I am already missing Cloudy5 but decided to try out the update. I am very disappointed -- Rogers / LG seriously crippled Lollipop and many of the best features are gone. Even the lock screen notifications suck compared to AOSP ROMs. Eager to go back, may need to go back to KitKat, root again, then re-install Cloudy5.

I don't know enough about it but am trying to learn as well, unfortunately i'm only a geek and not a techy geek. What I was hoping to do was flash back to KK then root/custom recovery and then flash system.img using the LG flashtool, so that I could have official Lollipop only rooted.
I was trying to follow this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4s6wrpD2Gk, but it's not enough for me to go on, perhaps it can help put someone else in the right direction.
I've got the kzd file for if anyone needs it.

It looks like Lollipop rooting has begun
Something is happening http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412/page19
UPDATE - Seems like @topet2k12001 has figured it out for the D858. Who knows enough or is willing to try it on the D852?

Hi @cytherean,
Thanks for the mention.
I am going to work on uploading a YouTube video tutorial for the steps that I did so that owners of other LG G3 variants may try if it works for them.
I would say though, to try @autoprime's method first because that's exactly what I did. I merely added a minor/extra "manual" step to his procedure which is to "bump" the Lollipop boot.img of the D858HK (as the online "bumping" service is already taken down - I was too late in the game, unfortunately).
Stay tuned!
PS: would you guys recommend for me to create a thread solely for this? If yes, I'd probably name it with "D858HK" and then others can post and report their findings, so that I can update the thread title. Or do you suggest I just keep it under @autoprime's thread (or the D858HK thread)?
The only reason I am thinking of creating a thread is to increase visibility into the procedure. Rest assured that I always give credit to all the things I have learned through reading and discovering the process.
UPDATE: I decided to create a thread. At this point, I have tested and re-tested the procedure; it works for the D858HK (100% success rate). http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-update-to-lollipop-root-bumpd-twrp-t3048845
Inviting owners of other LG G3 variants to try too, and let me know if it works.

[Q] Any downgrade methods for a MM LG G4 H812

I'm betting this has been asked before, probably a no, but just to be sure.
Is there a way to downgrade a MM H812 to Lollipop, or is that not possible yet?
I saw this https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/canadian-guide-complete-source-lg-g4-t3212449, but didn't know if it would work for me or not, I'm not a newbie to this sort of thing (I've tangled with Amazon Fire HDX's, not hte easiest device to unlock), I just don't want to brick my phone for no good reason, thanks for the help.

That is the right link, there is also a watered down version on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/3tcrcv/how_i_rooted_my_canadian_lgg4_without_ubuntu/ After downgrading for my H812 my camera wouldn't focus on LP, despite flashing third party camera apps or flashing other H812 KDZ. As such I was force to revert back to MM to have a workable camera, hope that doesn't happen to you as I really miss root. Happy flashing!

Once you downgrade and root, you can get TWRP-ish via FIsH, and get a good ROM, thanks for the help BTW.
EDIT! OK, not true at this point in time, do not try to use TWRP-in-FiSH to install a custom ROM.

TWRP-in-FiSH (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/locked-twrpinfish-locked-g4-devices-t3573048) is an excellent custom recovery by steadfasterX for the LG G4 with locked bootloaders BUT you cannot flash any custom ROM with it, period. Read the TWRP-in-FiSH OP fully before you go off half-cocked and hard brick your phone. Your bootloader will still be locked and that prevents flashing a ROM with it.

I don't think you can even format the whole hard drive and reinstall the operating system using TWRP FISH, because without unlocked bootloader, you cannot touch the root partition.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Forget about custom roms, that is still lightyears away.... you cannot even clean-install the existing rom yet.

Member BAD-ASS , to my knowledge (I provided more information and help to him than anyone on the H812), has never downgraded to stock on the H812 or flashed a pre-rooted image on one (he had the H812 for a very short period of time and had no clue about what he was doing, finding it all too complicated). He has continued to come on as if he has done it all, when in fact he has done very little other than denigrate the phone and trade it off for an H815 by lying to a dealer in Qatar that his H812 was in fact a US model.
He has provided misleading, ill-informed and potentially harmful advice to many junior members on XDA. He has had his threads cleaned more than once by the moderators and had his account disabled twice by moderators.
As with most of his posts, they are off topic and generally a waste of space.
With that said, once again he shows a singular lack of knowledge about TWRP or TWRP-in-FiSH and android internal storage on the LG G4. For those members who actually wish to know more info regarding TWRP, senior member steadfasterX has written the Q&A on the official TWRP site. Please refer to the following links (the second one references internal storage as it is operational in and pertains to the LG G4 setup. Member BAD-ASS has been trying of late to denigrate TWRP (the premier custom recovery and most used one for Android), TWRP-in-FiSH and steadfasterX's work in particular. He himself has not contributed and never will contribute or have as much knowledge as steadfasterX.

Ok, Impressive.
But last time I asked for a status update on EFIDROID, I was told there's no testers, hence there is no progress.
So did he find an alternative to EFIDROID?

Root my LG G4 H81220x
Please correct me if I am wrong (I'm extremely new to rooting) but the only way for me to root my G4 is currently to downgrade my software version first and then follow the step by step guide I saw on another Canadian G4 forum?

That is essentially correct. You must downgrade to 5.1 first. Follow the instructions in: Root ANY LG G4 Variant 100% Success Directives | Root Injection | Less Bricks : https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586 (if you use a pre-rooted system image you can skip down to Step 3).
Use the command for the H812 under the Command to Flash System.img (All Variants): at: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62028523&postcount=2
You can also check out steadasterX's thread [Bootloader UNLOCK][LS991|H81x|VS986|F500] Unofficial unlock -> PoC (**STOPPED**) at: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...proof-t3648288 and in particular, post # 66 and post # 122.

So, my phone is working again. I connected it to the LGUP to see if it was recognized. I disconnected and reconnected to be sure as I wasn't familiar with that software. I was then interrupted, and didn't have a chance to do anything else. My phone then started working properly. No more lag on the touchscreen, and the playstore started working again. I really don't know why, but I am grateful. It has been a week now, and I have installed several apps with no issues.
Thanks to all who gave me guidance. It is greatly appreciated.

US Cellular MM root projects?

I realize that the USC version really isn't in anyone's Todo list, but was wondering if anyone has been making any effort to find a workaround for either an unofficial bootloader unlock or prerooted system image that would work in the us991 variant? Best outcome would be an unlock allowing TWRP and custom ROM use, or at least root and Xposed usage on the stock MM. Any responses would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I surely hope so..I love my g4. I brought it over to TMO, and have no issues other than having to buy a new battery as original was falling after almost 4 years of service. I've honestly not feeling the need for a new phone, it's fast has decent storage, a gorgeous screen and the design makes it easy to hold even with it's screen size. My only worry is I've been following his posts and they are all focused on the other unlockable versions with nary a mention of my poor us991 lol

If you need help with anything. ask below

I will answer any question you need. let me know.

my Cell signal is messed up. I have bootloader unlocked phone that is US998. I installed the US99820e_02_0910.kdz from ChazzMatt and then in TWRP Aroma installered the BoomBox V30 from Whiskeyomega. do you know how to reinstall the modem/cellular parts only?
EDIT: I changed back to the KDZ rom/version instead of BoomBox. I guess the question still stands. How do we reinstall only the cell part of the US998 rom into the BoomBox rom?

You don't say what provider you are with. But whatever it is, on 20E you are fine? It's only when you install Boombox that you can't get a signal?
On most ROMs, you do not need to re-flash modem. But still many developers provide TWRP flashable versions of newer modems so you can update when those are released. I am not aware of any TWRP flashable modems for the V30 yet.

Yeah, I'm confused about that as well. If his phone is working fine on US998 20E, then why is it not on stock-based Boombox ROM?

Dam xda login deleted my whole message and sent me to the front page. Mean. I won't rewrite it but here are the highlights.
TMobile. It's been a week straight of reflashing. I think it's a level 8 error but I don't know what I would mess up on these simple instructions. The messaging apps and phone app crashes. after putting in the apn settings, I got data but very poor. I've recreated some of the main features like dual speaker and sound mixer from whiskyomega and set the dpi to 560 and uninstalled many system apps through titanium backup on this US998 ROM. I'm exhausted on going through LGs tutorial stuff over and over again. Yeah i know what my buttons do, NAVI ya pest. I would definitely love to just flash boombox ROM instead of going through the hassle of this. However right now I'm tired of trying. I'll just wait for stable pie ROMs to come out.
Thank you for reading my long winded story.

Thanks for this thread. I don't need to make new threads for questions now.
Question:
I'm quite jnterested in flashing this kernel
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/kernel-lunar-kernels-lg-v30-t3804267
for stock ROM (h930). Unfortunately, I've been reading the thread (I think I'm just missibg a few pages in the middle), but there are some things I couldn't find.
1. What are the bugs for stable? In the OP of the threat, the bugs are marked "outdated" so I'm not sure if the issues still persist.
2. Treblelized? I keep seeing this but I don't know if this is necessary. I haven't repartitioned, and I was wondering if i will have to moving forward (for flashing ROMs, kernels, etc). I can't recall seeing this on the bootloader unlock thread so I never got around to doing it (based on experience, repartitioning is dangerous - one mistake and you run the risk of hard brick - so I might skip this if I don't need it).
Again, thank yiu for the thread and for the amswers! Apologies if the questions are noobish. My last phone was a G5 that can't be rooted so I am far from up-to-date on flashing and modding (never had to do that on my g3 and g4 lol). And i didn't want to ask general questions on dev threads...

Custom kernel questions should be asked in the kernel thread. You can ask here, but the best people to answer - - including the dev - - are there.
No, you don't need "Treble" or to vendor partition your drive. If that's something you want to tinker with later, feel free. We don't have official Treble support anyways. The Treble stuff is project @SGCMarkus is doing to replicate Treble in our phone. But all ROMs without Treble in the title do not need vendor partition ("Treble") to install. You just need TWRP.

I see. My apologies. I'm not used to asking on dev threads as it was frowned upon on past device subforums (unless you have a log for your issue, questions are for the Q&A threads - I really don't want to bother the devs with a lot of questions unless i can provide logs to help them out). I guess it's qyite different here (still in awe of how helpful everyone's been).
I'll finish readibg the whole thread and ask there if I still have questions. Again, thank you. And i apologize for having a lot of questions.
Edit;
I'll probably leave treble alone for now. I've had bad experiences with repartitioning (hard brick) since one wrong move and there's no going back. Lol.

He's already shown that it's possible, give them time to develop the steps/guide to do it. Don't ask for ETAs, basic XDA rule.

Hi guys! Please be patient as there were some bricked devices.
All korean V50 can have this and also some G8.
If you dont have patience, join telegram group V50 and ask for help from Vlad48 aka VL48. White user also has the knowledge and also contributed a lot to this, but he doesnt speak english that good and you may get confused in doing things that will brick your phone.
I'm waiting to make an ALL IN ONE guide with everything in that ADB folder so that we will donwload just one file.
Almost all bricked devices so far were because of WRONG file placement inside adb folder if you believe it ...

That's no worries, not wanting an ETA.
Sorry, went off on a tangent there earlier due to overwork and night shift.
As I said, here in Oz we've been stranded with Android 9, security update is for Oct 19, with no Android 10 release in sight and only excuses and buck passing from LG.
Do we know if this will allow Android 9 to be rooted and, finally, be updated to the latest OS?
Cheers guys...

Yeah, there may be an issue there... You can only use temp root on Android 10. Specifically what phone model (carrier/region that the phone is from) do you have? I don't mean your current carrier necessarily, just the branding of your model.

It's the LM-V500EM, like Europe, however, it is distributed exclusively through Australia by Telstra.
This means we can't upgrade using another country's firmware but also, as we aren't part of Europe and UK, we can't unlock the bootloader. :crying:
Again, every time LG is asked about newer firmware the finger is pointed at Google.
When Telstra is asked, mostly just the sound of silence but if you do hear whispers it's no firmware has as yet been supplied and to check with the manufacturer of the device.
Google also has the advice Telstra give about the updated firmware which puts LG in the drivers seat and they're still sitting at the bar at the start of happy hour as far as Australia is concerned, and every hour is happy hour..
Hence we need to be able to unlock the bootloader and root to update our expensive and, supposedly flagship device.
You understand the frustration and impatience...

Hi, i recommend v50 koreans due to battery life and 5g.
G8 Sprint is now bl unlockable at lower price and nice compact form factor

Just got my v50 u+ recently
Cant wait for the script

Can't wait for these guides, thank you to all involved!
If I may make a request, perhaps a guide on how to hide root, using Magisk, so that banking apps can still be used?
Thanks again

That's a pretty generic guide; just use magisk hide and the props config module, but lots of modules may break safety net

I see thanks. If a module breaks safety net, does uninstalling that module mean the device passes safety net again? Or is the device just permanently marked as unsafe?

You might have to wipe data for all the Google apps (or possibly even factory reset), but it shouldn't be permanent

Not to sound like a jerk, but I do think it's a valid question... what is the point of creating a thread promising a comprehensive 'All in one guide' to be 'released shortly', and also posting in the other root thread that a guide will be available, and then nearly a month later, there is still no guide? Again, I don't want to sound like a jerk because you're trying to help, but so far, you have just made empty promises and gotten peoples hopes up but not actually provided anything
(again, not trying to sound harsh, just posting as someone who has been keeping an eye on this for a month and now feeling frustrated)

Sorry, dont have time for this, anyone can make a new thread or admin delete this...
Until then, all is available on telegram.

very disappointing after waiting so long...

Yeah, there may be an issue there... You can only use temp root on Android 10. Specifically what phone model (carrier/region that the phone is from) do you have? I don't mean your current carrier necessarily, just the branding of your model.
