Hi Guys,
I hope somebody can help me....I have a G3 with a stock Android 6.0 and would like to install LineageOS 15.1. instead, but so far I did not manage to root it.
I already tried:
- Purple Drake lite (downloading the PurpleDrake-Lite_R03.tar.gz)
- LG One Click root 1.3 (both linux and windows version - by the way, the main OS I work with is linux Ubuntu and I have WIN7 64 Bit on a Virtual Machine)
- Towelroot.apk
- Kingroot apk
no luck
Can you direct me to a solution? I read somewhere that all a.m. hacks are only for G3 with Lollipop...do I have to downgrade to Android 5 first? If yes, how to? Please go easy with the explanations...I am not an android expert and I would like to avoid ending up with a brick

Yes, you need to downgrade to one of the first versions of lollipop with lgup and root with kingoroot or kingroot. Then install the app that downgrades bootloader to kitkat(I forget what it is called). Then you can flash twrp and lineage os.
If you can't find the app that downgrades the bootloader, I can upload it.

Flash marshmallow v30b version and then use KingRoot app to do root. It does not need to do downgrade!

No success further...I downloaded and installed lgup Ver_1_14_3, all I get when I start the program is "there is no handset connected, no matter if I set the G3 to MTP or PTP
Is it because I am trying via my VM with WIN7 and not from the host? If yes, can I "cure" it?
P.S. I reinstalled LGUP again (LGUP_8974_DLL_Ver_0_5_CODEFIRE.MSI first and then LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3.msi) and now get the select model window, but all it says Model "unkwnown" COM-Ports [COM4] and if I click SELECT I get "You have to select a known model"

You probably did this, but did you try a different usb port? It might be that way because it is VM.

i think you can try rooting with kingroot, then flashing twrp, then flash cm13. Though I have not tried this method before. From what I read kingroot only gives temporary root which lasts a reboot so you gotta download everything, root, install autorec from play store, then reboot into twrp and flash.
Don't try Autorec method on Marsmallow rom. It will hard brick your phone (it's hard to repair it for inexperienced user).
What I recommended is tot method for retrieving stock lollipop. Then you can try root and Autorec.

Hey guys.
I own LG G3 for about year and a half after using rooted Galaxy nexus for few years. Very satisfied!
I want to unlock, root and flash custom rom to update my device to Android 6 and enjoy some root features I miss.
My device:
LG G3, D855 (32GB), 5.0.
Build Nubmer: LRX21R.A1447078419
Software Version: V21a-SEA-XX
I saw many ways to root, which one is the best? (using PC, not ADB stuff..)
Do I still have to reset my whole data for rooting?
Is "bootloader unlocking" thing still exists?
Important things to backup before doing anything?
1. You can use "One click root" to root your device , This is the best way
2. you don't need to reset your device
3. after you install SU download autorec from google play for D855 LP to install TWRP recovery
4. It's up to you , for me I have not , but for more safety do it.
Good luck

Hey guys,
I'm having a really bad time on rooting the LG G3. I know there are methods out there but these don't work with this software version. I've tried Kingroot but the app does says 'Research Request is not enough' and then it will put me in a queue on the rooting list and I used One click Root that didn't work either :crying: . I've looked everywhere to root this phone but there are absolutely nothing out there to root this device. Would It be that I'm on Marshmallow and that could of patched kingroot from rooting the device if so let me know.
Thanks.
Model number: D855
Android Version: 6.0 (Marshmallow)
Software Version: V30N
D855 on CM13 with TWRP recovery and lost root
I actually have the same problem here, last time i went from an old cm13 build to the latest fulmics stock ROM, then when i decided to get back to cm13 latest build once again, i lost root somehow, now i have no idea which root zip to flash (since i already have TWRP), any poiners on what to do ?

You cant root v30n...you must downgrade to 30b with lg flash tool and then you can use kingroot to root it...

Ahhh okay I'll get down to V30B then. Thats ridiculous that you can't root on that type of software. Thank you for telling me that ☺

Hi,
I just upgraded my phone yesterday(via LG PC Suite - didn't get the FOTA) and obviously my phone isn't rooted anymore.
Looked around here for a method to re-root it and didn't find any solution for my version...
Already tried the latest KingRoot and no support yet.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Make sure to use the TOT method. If you are on Marshmallow, use the .dll for lollipop(in general thread for LG G3)
Then you can easily root using Stump(google stump apk). For this you will have to enable Unknown sources. Let Stump bruteforce and it will root. Then you can install TWRP and the marshmallow zip for your device. Lastly, go into TWRP and flash your zip.

I would greatly appreciated if you can help me with this. So it seems that something got messed up. I tried to downgrade using the LGUP method and when the phone reboots, I get the android bot on its back with an exclamation mark. I can get into to download mode so I tried using the method mentioned above and I get a message to remove the battery and restart the process basically. Is there anything I can do to salvage the phone? Please let me know if you know how or if you can direct me to the right link. Thanks in advance.
