[Q] Root KDZ image - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I just want to ask if somebody tried to create a pre-rooted kdz to be flashed with the flash tool 2014?
I read in the G2 forums, that it should be possible by performing the following steps:
extract 'original' KDZ-file and DZ-files
hex-edit bin files
repack the KDZ file
With this method and chainfire's SuperSU beta it should be able to create pre-rooted Lolipop KDZ files, isn't it?
Installing TWRP on Lolipop should work or even creating a KDZ with TWRP or CWM included.
Unfortunately, I fail hex-editing the .bin - is there anybody that can perform this step?
There are some tutorials in the LG G2 or L9 forums here on xda.

Its easier to flash prerooted rom then this.

Not if you are already on stock Lolipop (I am on 20E).
I would now need to downgrade to 10L, root, bump & install new ROM.
And if you want to stay stock but rooted, you can use the 'official' way with the LG Flash Tool.

Doesn't bootloader check KDZ's signature before flashing it?..
About editing .bin files... System.bin is only an ext2 image, mounting and editing it is trivial. The problem is repacking everything to .dz + dll and finally to .kdz,

Just that could be a solution for rooting stock lollipop lg g3. Like: download kdz by well known imei link (http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=), root it, flash without wiping. But scince .dz + dll is a problem then probably there will be some another rooting method possible sooner... (Downgrading is not a solution for 2 reasons: requires wipe i think, imagine a new model/revision with lollipop preinstalled by default).

HI, did u downgrade or just got any flashable file for prerooted lollipop ?

How can we prepare a .zip from OTAs ?

So as official otas of 5.0s are rolling out. İ don't want to lose my recovery by flashing a kdz. And maybe they could be patched the bump vulnerability within the bootloader sector. So, can we unpack those kdzs and make a flashable and rootable(i know we can flash rootable kernel from skins thread) zip to flash from recovery ?
Thanks!
You are on kitkat?
Wait then till someone makes prerooted Lollipop for your variant.
Yes, you can.
No, no one is going to walk you through this step-by-step.
All instructions and tools are in "Development" subforum. How to unpack kdz, how to make a flashable zip, what to include in this zip and what not to... This has already been written. Use search.
I found what i want thank you guys.

Ota update help

Can someone help?

You'll first need to revert to stock using either the KDZ or TOT method before taking the OTA...

Thanks for the reply. That means I'll have to install all apps all again.
Any method I can make the Ota file flashable through recovery?

not if u backup all apps i use all in one tool box so when u go back stock just download all in one then restore apps make sure ure back saves on external sd or will be lost on restore from tot.
A TWRP flashable *.zip can be created from the KDZ file, but I'm not sure how it's done. Unfortunately the only TWRP flashable ZIPs I'm aware of are for the D851, those having been created from the 20b, 20e, and 20g KDZs.

False information shared by @Ernesto0023.
Following this guide will get you a secure boot error when attempting to boot into recovery. Even so following this guide is impossible because root is required and OP has no root on his kdz flashed MM.
My recommended solution would be reverting back to kitkat via kdz. If unfamiliar with the method follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
After reverting use the guide from post above: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966129
to flash TWRP.
Then fell free to flash whatever you want in TWRP. If stock lollipop ROM is you what you desire, download zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/stock-t2961073
if stock MM is what you wish for download zips from here:

But with root and installing over ADB should work, or not?
I mean root isn't a Big Deal on the G3
Edit: Sorry, now i recognized its the unrooted official MM - maybe to much partying yesterday

Yeah
Even so if his MM would somehow be rooted it was still kdz flashed so it contains
MM bootloader. That equals BUMP not working.
Hope you had fun.

How do I unroot my 10E G4?

Would i be able to unroot just by flashing my original system.img or would i have to use a .kdz file?
Im about to use the Root Injection method in which i back up my system to a .img file and inject root into it. The model number is LG-H815, the bootloader is 1.1, and the software version is V10e-SEA-XX.
The only kdz available at hyelton's Stock firmware repository is the SEA H81510B while i have the 10E. Is it safe to use if it i wanted to unroot? Alternatively, is there some guide that allows me to create my own kdz or does anybody know of a .kdz specific to my device?
your original system image will work fine.

KDZ, TOT, or original system.img would work.

How to dump/make backup of stock firmware or .img files on a non rooted Lg G4 H818P

Hi guys, I'd like to dump stock firmware or make backup of system.img and others img stock partitions BEFORE make root on my Lg G4 H818P.
I've tried dd method but it doesn't work because adb asks for root permissions.
My firmware version is 10L EU and its KDZ files doesn't exists at this moment.
Is there some working method to get a backup?
Thanks in advance.
