[Q] How to root LG G3 D855 on Lollipop.

I was wondering if there was some method for rooting the LG G3 on Android 5.0 (Lollipop). I've searched far and wide on the internet but have found nothing so far. I did see that there were methods for the Nexus devices but nothing for LG.

Would like this as well. I thought I could live a while without root.. Seems like I just can't. :crying:

I think that you can find already rooted lollipop version on the forum.
For now, i nowhere found any root options.

now it's impossible to root lollypop via purpledrake, ioroot or other programs but you can flash a rooted bumped rom.
I'll wait for this.

Same situation here.
Planned to use the pre-rooted lollipop but to use it you need twrp on the phone. To get twrp you need first root. So its a dead end, a points on b and b points back on a, both needing the other present first.....
Maybe if you flash an older kdz, root it with any of the previous methods, then get twrp on the phone and then flash the pre-rooted lollipop. Im just gonna wait for a lollipoproot without twrp needed.

I am on 5.0 and tried purpledrake (since i used it with 4.4.2), but it did not work, i also tried Stump and got an error too. With 5.0 the structure has changed and the methods for KK are different to Lollipop. So far, even with Nexus, the only way to root is through bootloader/kernel.
Hopefully soon we will see a method that can bypass this.
This is the method that works on the d855 by skin1980 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-lollipop-rooted-rom-skin1980-t2936022

Yup, thats the reason why i downgraded it to KK. Downgrade, root and you can install rooted L.

Does that work then? I'm on Lollipop 20a on the D855. If i install the KK kdz, will it make the phone rootable again? I read something to do with the boot loader not reverting back to how it was before lollipop

Use this guide to downgrade http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
(you can flash almost any KK KDZ, v10x of course, but make sure it's for your device)
Root it with your preferred root method (i prefer Purple Drake)
BUMP it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2900614
Now you can flash the bumped roms you'll like. Just make sure, it's for your device.

TWRP manager for LG G3 d851?

I am a little confused on how to install TWRP for my LG G3. It seems to me that the easiest way is to use the TWRP manager app and install TWRP directly from there. Is there another method someone would like to recommend? My G3 is the T-mobile d851 rooted with lollipop (stock). Most tutorials show how to install TWRP for kit kat and I have also read that the d851 has unlocked bootloader (not sure what this means, still learning).

TWRP Manager is fine. Easy as 1-2-3. Locked bootloader (every other version G3) needs to be "bumped" (unlocked) before any modding can be done.
Happy flashing!

Yes it worked! The only thing that confused me was before installing twrp it said something about making sure this is the correct recovery partition and I just clicked yes. Thanks for the help.

G3 root problem [Help/urgent]

My phone is LG G3 D855 international model and I recently have upgraded it to android 6.0. However I am quite disappointed with the performance to its performance and would like to downgrade it to the older version like android 4.4 so as for easy root of the phone and flash fulmics rom. And a problem comes out- I cant downgrade it officially ! No matter I am flashing in tot files or kdz files, I can't downgrade. So I tried to root it directly and no matter what method suggested in the net , I failed to root my phone. Errors,errors, and errors...I am enough with errors and would like to ask for help in order to solve my problem. I genuinely want to flash the fulmic rom into my phone! My phone lags so much!!!!

Do you want to make a clean downgrade to Android Kitkat from Marshmallow? From what I see, you're root. If you do not have recovery installed, you can install the official app of TWRP which does install the recovery. After that, download Kitkat official rom in format zip (look in xda threads) and formats your rom from the recovery. For example, the name of the rom for my variant (Lg g3 D851) is D85120G-Rom_Untouched_Stock_Restore.zip

No Root method for LG G3 D855

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 have to search a little bit further ...
This is mentioned multiple times....
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 ☺

Yeah the only thing is that Kingroot will not work on this software. I've tried that method myself and It doesn't work.

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.
