Unable to root G3 D855 A6WCTN - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I hope somebody can help me rooting my smartphone. Right now it's running with the stock Android 6.0, but I would like to install the lineageos 15.1. The problem is, I do not manage to root it!
I tried with no success the:
- purpledrake script (PurpleDrake-Lite_R03.tar.gz) (by the way, my desktop PC is running with a linux ubuntu 18.04 OS and I have a virtualbox environment as guest with WIN7 32 bit).
- towelroot apk
- LG one click root 1.3.0.0
If it's not possible to root the 6.0 Android version, can maybe anybody guide me through a solution for installing a free ROM such as lineageOS? Please go easy with the explanations, I am not very android skilled already read about "first downgrade", but if this is the only possibility I don't really understand how to do it without ending up with a brick.
Thanks in advance for any guideline

Kingroot worked for me initially, and also Towelroot at a later time (which I see you've tried), only thing is it took several attempts (10+) before either app could finally obtain root ......maybe just keep trying with either of those

[Q] Root LG G3 D855P - Rom version V10o

Hello everybody!
I have a problem concerning the completion of the root process on my device LG G3 D855P - Rom version V10o.
After upgrading to the V10o version, the root was removed and since then I try to trouble reactive it.
I tried to make the root through various APK's such as: Framarrot, Towerlroot ... I also tried using ".exe" via PC, such as: Ioroot, PurpleDrake, UnlockRoot, among others.
I was not happy in any process so far. I wish someone could help me regarding the realization of root on my device.
Thanks in advance !!
Thanks to some idiot, team codefire left g3 behind for good.
There will be no more root for g3 unless someone else does it.
Only way to get root back is going back to stock rom reported working with root and dont upgrade if you wanna keep root

PurpleDrake is working with v10o.
If you have properly installed LG drivers and USB debugging is enabled, it's good to go.
Got it!
Guys, it worked.
I made this ... I changed the MTP option for PTP then open a window PurpleDrake, it failed to carry out the root, she kept open and open another window of PurpleDrake, yes this worked.
Installed SuperSU and ta all right.
Thanks guys.

Removing Android (LG G3 D855)

Hello all, I've recently found a way to mount a Kali Linux Image file on my cellphone (a rooted LG G3 D855 running Euphoria ROM, so Android Lollipop) using the Terminal Emulator and Root privileges, but I'd like to take this a step further and uninstall Android so that I can install a Linux build properly.
Does anyone have any experience or suggestions as to how I should do this?
Thanks for your time

Root/Downgrade Tmobile LG G3 Lolipop using Ubuntu 12.04. is it possible?

Hi all,
I would like to root my LG G3 phone. It is running Android 5.0.1. I haven't been able to root it with the no PC one click root apps, nor have I found a guide for doing it with Ubuntu.
Id like to either root it, or downgrade it to 4.4.2 and root it that way, but I don't have access to a Windows computer. Just Ubuntu 12.04.
Does anyone know what i have to download and what the process would be?
Thanks!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try KingRoot it work on 5.1.1
I have the K430DSf with Android 6.0, and the guys just say "try kingroot" like I was just a newbie. I tried every method I saw, Framaroot, Kingroot, Kingo Root, One Click, Towelroot, and all got the same result. It's time for dev's to work on something useful instead of saying "try kingroot", if we didn't try, we wouldn't even be here.
I've K430TR and it's MTK chipset. I'll start to work on it in 2-3 weeks. I hope, we'll have CyanogenMod 13.
Hi, is there something new? I just ordered this phone and I wonder if I will be even able to root it It is really not possible? What about VROOT? It worked on my older phone.
I have the Metro version of this phone the K428 and need to root this thing. Problem is that there is no support to be found on the android forums site or here. If anyone knows where to go for help please post a reply.
What about this tool? http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
Can anybody test it? It could be a workaround for deleting some bloatware without root.
also the usb otg not works.
waste off my mony
get 20 ero phone and you get one month batery life.

Can't root LG G3, D855, Android 5.0? Tried multiple methods...

Hey guys, i'm having a lot of trouble rooting my LG G3. It is the D855 unlocked variant running Android 5.0, Kernel 3.4.0, Soft Ver V21a-EUR-XX. (If there is any more info needed, let me know.)
I've must have tried 6 or 7 different root methods but they all fail in various ways. I've used IORoot, OneClick, Towelroot, KingRoot, Stump Root and more. Can anyone suggest a viable root method for me or know why all these root methods fail?
EDIT: I upgraded to 6.0 and i'm just gonna stick with that for the time-being instead of installing a custom ROM. I tried to delete the thread but couldn't see where the option was.
Thanks,
Tom
Hmm I think 5.0 was supported, so perhaps you are not doing some of the steps properly? Are you following the steps in one of the tutorials around the forum?
Anyways newer versions cannot be rooted, you need to downgrade to KitKat first, root, install custom recovery and then install a custom ROM which will update your OS.
I highly recommend a good clean AOSP based 7.1.1 ROM for performance -- LineageOS is a great contender.
My LG G3 is very fast and snappy on AOSP 7.1.1 and it's 2 years old. As such I don't feel the need to upgrade my device for at least a few more years (as long as possible really) on the contrary of some people who seem to like spending money on a new phone every year (which I can't afford to do anyway -- both money wise and environmentally wise)
