Greetings,
Is this a safe method to root my G3 international version (32Gb)? Is it temporarly or permantly?
Also, will I still be able to receive OTA updates with this root?
Thanks!

You will most likely need to unroot to take an OTA. I updated with root on my F460S (it shouldn't have let me do it) but that was a fluke. If you need to take an OTA then you will have to use SU to unroot and then update-> root again. Just make sure the new OTA is still rootable. Rooting it's safe if you know what you are doing. I have used IORoot, and StumpRoot without issues.
hmm
Ok and won't my root dissapear if I reboot the device? (with the towellroot method?)
Because, I heard an youtube video, that said you don't need to reboot ur device once you run the apk to root...
It means you dont have to reboot after installing towel root.
It does mean you cant OTA after root generally any method period.
It doesnt mean you cant reboot after towelroot. Root will be there after reboot.
Confusing? Your post too.
please hit thanks if i helped in any way. send from my g3 d852 beast

Sorry. I was doing the towelroot method and it said my device isnt supported? Which method shall I use? I'm using international version 32Gb..
Purple drake i think its called.
It in the g3 development section.
To be honest: i have this phone for a month now and never had the need to root it. All my other phones were rooted same day or when available.

Rooting the phone is really easy, infact you can do it without even using a PC (towelroot). At the moment there is no custom recovery, but hopefully we will see that change once the phone is released in more countries (later this week).
As for unroot, one simple method would be to re-flash stock, but I assume you are looking for an easier solution than that.
That's what I am looking for too because of the bloody Barclays Bank app.
I want to root my LG G3, block ads, bloatware etc and then unroot to get Barklays app working
S4min, Grand 2, Note 2 - I always rooted phones and then unrooted by uninstalling root in SuperSu app.
Is there any similar method for LG G3?
Re-flashing to unroot doesn't make sense for me cos I will loose everything I needed the root for

I don't have my G3 yet to check (and not sure I will be rooting it straight away when I do get it, I want to see how far I can go without root first), but I cannot see why the unroot method in SuperSU would not work.

Flashing back to stock should take you back as if you have never rooted. Assuming all you did was root the phone.
If/when there are further modifications such as unlocking bootloader and flashing custom recovery images this might change.
Hi peeps, looked at rooting my nice new G3 and went in for the kill with towel root [emoji16] only to find out didn't support my version. Decided to go with purpledrake (not got there yet) found a couple of apps not working because of root which root checker says I don't have. My question is do I need to root now regardless even if only to unroot? To get things back to normal?

After rooting, did you install SuperSU?
Also, there's StumpRoot as a 3rd option.
That's just it. Towel root told me my phone wasn't supported and root checker says I don't have root, yet the app in question says I do so super user seems a bit pointless.

SuperSU is needed after you root to give apps root access. Try to install it, if it works, you're rooted and you can go along with your rooted apps.
Otherwise, try StumpRoot (Towel and Purple's didn't support my version either), install SuperSU and enjoy your root apps!
Tried to install it with no luck. Seems something's gone wrong somewhere.
Says I need to manually 're root of I just upgraded to android 4.3. As it can't install su binaries.

Time to give StumpRoot a shot then.
Yeah I think your right. The only issue left is the app I want to use fails when rooted and the root cloak module/app doesn't currently support it [emoji20]
Edit:
Well i tried stump root and got nowhere [emoji20] looking like purple is my only way forward. And if i want to use that particular app then root, unroot is the only way forward. [emoji45]
Hello,
This is my first time using any LG product having Android. I bought LG G2 LS980 (LS980VSE) with 4.4.2 from a local shop in Pakistan. I am new to LG so please help me out in multiple issues I am having.
1) First of all, I get Hands free Activation Notice every time. What is it and how do get rid of it? I did look for a solution and it told me to rename a certain apk file. I am unable to do as I am not able to root the device. I will mention it later.
w
2) I am not getting an option to Import Sim contacts. I can make calls or receive them but there is no option to import/export contacts from sim card. Could it be related to hands free activation?
3) As I mentioned earlier, I am unable to root my device. I looked for solutions and tried different methods...none worked. I tried STump root. It says I am rooted but I am not. Towel root does not support as it says. And ioroot fails in signature vitrifaction.
Please help me solve these issues.
Regards.
Same here buddy can't root lg g2 ls980
tot your phone back then run stump
Yeah stump worked for me on LS980VSE. I reset before running it. I would just suggest resetting and running stump. However, first try downloading any new release of stumproot. Sorry if I'm no help but it worked for me on 4.4.2. If it does work be sure to run autorec for your recovery it's designed for the G2 specifically.
I got root working by downgrading to ZVC. After that I able to take care for Hands Free Activation issue.
A question, can I go back to ZVE and have it rooted?
Any root or such breaks ota and bricks phone.

Even if you would lose root going back to ZVE stump worked on it.

If you installed autorec you can backup just to try it gives you the option to reapair superuser. I'm not sure if anyone has tried but maybe you can use adb to drop supersu on ZVE, I just find it strange stump root worked for me I did have to run it a couple times to succeed.

You must fully unroot first, then take ZVE, then re-root with stump.
I may be stupid or just quite how, but I can not find what I want.
Only the root.
I need only rooting for nothing else than away win with preinstalled software for example. Mcafee. etc., etc.
None of what I have tried here does not work.
IOroot no work
Towelroot no work
Purple Drake no work
stump Root no work
RootTool no work
My phone is the LG-D855 32GB
Android 5.0 version of the software V20e-EUR-XX
Can someone tell me what 100% works?

I wanted to know if, instead of doing this, I could flash a rooted version of 5.0 (I have the same as the OP, just international v.)
No, there isn't one rooted yet. Must revert to kk then root
did anyone root 5.0 on LG G3
HI Frnds did anyone root LG G3 D855 rooted on Lollipop 5.0 ...
Post right above yours
Got mine today from Korea and I need it to be rooted!
Looks like no one has been able to?
The price you pay for being on the bloody edge is that sometimes when you're one of the first to have a new device no one has had the device to develop exploits for it.
You can always feel free to jump in and develop the method and publish it.
Best of luck.
no root yet OP. to dam early for that. what area you live in?
cant wait for USA release. im sure these g4 threads will boom after that
Try the one click root on this post. It rooted my LG G Pad 8. It should work for any LG:

This uses an exploit that does not work on the LG G4 (ability to remount /system as read/write instead of read only).
All of the existing root scripts that I have found execute the command "mount -rw,remount /system".
In earlier LG phones this command was successful. In the LG G4 this command fails (No Permissions) so the older exploits don't work.

rooting is one of the reason I've joined here. Will wait for updates. I'm itching to try it on my upcoming G4. Hopefully, I won't messed up this time around

You got this to work on the G4?
A few questions for the uninitiated of LG Android. I am not familiar with the LG Android ecosystem, been with Motorola and just got off of Samsung. If I root the G4 now, how will that affect getting OTA updates and installing them? (like if I root would that hinder my ability to get conventional OTA downloads and being able to install them normally? Like if it would set my "status" to "custom".)
I'd REALLY like to be able to uninstall Facebook and Messenger! Would uninstalling them also possibly hinder my ability to get OTA updates and installing them?
Last will I have to worry about voiding my warranty like you would with a Samsung device if you root that and say tripped the knox counter??

As far as I remember, just rooting your phone doesn't take away OTA availability. You'd have to freeze or delete the files that control that process with a root explorer

You definitely want to make sure Ota is blocked , I remember on my rooted and TWRP installed stock G2, when the first Ota came through tons of people almost ended up with bricked phones, thankfully someone found a way around it, but it wasn't looking good for a second., after that I just flashed a modified stock room to eliminate the risk of OTA

You will not root the G4 now. The bootloader is still not unlocked. After that we can expect root to follow. One forum member said the ul bl and root would be available at the same time - but now is not the time.
Also, for the international version that I have - the UK H815, there is an option in settings not to download or install the OTA.

You can achive root without unlocked BL, if you have an unlocked BL you can root without having to use exploits
