[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.
Sent from my LG-D855
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.
Sent from my LG G3
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.

Update firmware without losing HARDWARE root

My box is hardware rooted at 51.1.4.3. Is there a way to update my firmware to 51.1.5.0 and retain root without having to resolder the wires?

If he is at 51.1.4.3 then he can't use the custom roms because those require recovery, which require unlocked bootloader. You can't unlock if you are at 51.1.4.3.

Is it possible to copy su to the official 51.1.5 rom and perform a manual update?
you should be able to downgrade to 51.1.0.2_user_510058520, install CWM, unlock the bootloader, upgrade to bueller-51.1.4.0_514006420-rooted+updated, install Rbox's boot menu, and upgrade to bueller-51.1.5.0_515020820-rooted.
if you do this, I'd stick towel root on there just in case.
My boot loader is locked. Can't downgrade. My box is hardware rooted at v51.1.4.3. If I allow it to accept the latest v51.1.5 update over the network, I will lose root. The only way to regain root is by re-soldering the wires and perform hardware root again.
The question was: Is it possible to somehow add su to the official firmware, bueller-ota-51.1.5.0_user_515030720-signed.bin, and perform a manual update using this modified file?

How to unroot an FTV v1 with TWRP?

Hi all,
For various reasons, I need to unroot an FTV v1 with TWRP. The AFTVNews tutorial talks about unroot v1 w/ CWM and v2 w/ TWRP.
I suppose that would be similar to the v2 unroot (installing a previous firmware and executing a factory reset / unblocking OTA updates), but I wanted to be 100% sure before proceeding...
Thanks.
I'm also curious if anyone has an answer to this? I've seen many posts asking the question, but no solid answers yet.
My box has a fully unlocked bootloader if that makes a difference.
Thanks!

At the moment I know of no way to restore an unlocked bootloader to its normal state.
For an unroot it is enough to restore the regular firmware or simply uninstall Super SU. This can be done manually, or Super SU can be uninstalled via the interface that can be accessed with Xposed and the "Holo Themer" module.
Thanks! What about removing the boot menu and going back to the original recovery? I want to be able to use the OTA again.
Thanks again!

If you are rooted, you can install TWRP recovery and then rom v5.2.1.1. montoya-5.2.1.1-rooted_r1.zip. You will be rooted and on the most current version of firmware for the stick.
Thanks i take it that rom wont work on the box

D855 V30d (Marshmallow) root?

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
Same here. :-|

You'll need to downgrade to a lower version.
V30B and down is rootable.

you can also root V30C
this could be helpfull KDZ, Tools, Root etc.
V30D is rootable with Kingroot. If you upgraded to V30N, you'll have to downgrade to 30B, C, D or F.

What version of Kingroot? I tried the latest(NewKingrootV5.0.4) yesterday and it said no support...
Last time I used version 5.0.3 and it worked perfectly.
If not, try to follow the guide bellow:

Nope KingRoot isn't able to root the phone(get stuck at around 56% and then says that it can't root and lets you submit a request).
