Hi all,
I would like to root my LG G3 phone. It is running Android 5.0.1. I haven't been able to root it with the no PC one click root apps, nor have I found a guide for doing it with Ubuntu.
Id like to either root it, or downgrade it to 4.4.2 and root it that way, but I don't have access to a Windows computer. Just Ubuntu 12.04.
Does anyone know what i have to download and what the process would be?
Thanks!

Hi guys, I am on Lollipop for my G3 stock and I need to root it using Ubuntu. I don't have windows on my laptop and not planning on getting it, expensive anyway. Does anyone have instructions?
Hi there.
I have an LG G3 (D855) on Android 5.0. But its a good phone bogged down by slow updates by LG.
I want to enjoy & experience 5.1 like the G4 but i'm not an expert in rooting or flashing ROMs. And i heard you can only update using a Windows computer and not Mac. is this true?
Please help. Thanks.
Actually, you can use a mac to do this.
You will need to install windows on virtual box, vmware, etc..
If you have other question, don't hesitate.
Why would you need to have windows? Do you use a flashtool for this rom?
I've always flashed with mac, I don't like flashtools... Just flash a custom recovery with fastboot and you're good to go?
Many thanks.
Hello all, I've recently found a way to mount a Kali Linux Image file on my cellphone (a rooted LG G3 D855 running Euphoria ROM, so Android Lollipop) using the Terminal Emulator and Root privileges, but I'd like to take this a step further and uninstall Android so that I can install a Linux build properly.
Does anyone have any experience or suggestions as to how I should do this?
Thanks for your time

Just got a new D851 with v30e firmware. Am I correct that the only way to do this is to downgrade the firmware? And is the only way to do this using LGUP or LG Flash tool with a windows computer? I was able to root my last d851 on my linux box, but the method I used last time isn't working this time around...

I think you can't root MM or its complicated. I was in the same situation few weeks back I end up downgrade it to LP/KK root and install TWRP and flash custom rom. I post it here the guide how to do it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73314882&postcount=7
Pretty simple to do it but need a computer.

Well, simple to do if you have a windows computer. I was able to use a similar method using a windows box, but I don't think that it's possible with linux anymore (would love to hearif someone had some success though).
Hi guys,
I hope somebody can help me rooting my smartphone. Right now it's running with the stock Android 6.0, but I would like to install the lineageos 15.1. The problem is, I do not manage to root it!
I tried with no success the:
- purpledrake script (PurpleDrake-Lite_R03.tar.gz) (by the way, my desktop PC is running with a linux ubuntu 18.04 OS and I have a virtualbox environment as guest with WIN7 32 bit).
- towelroot apk
- LG one click root 1.3.0.0
If it's not possible to root the 6.0 Android version, can maybe anybody guide me through a solution for installing a free ROM such as lineageOS? Please go easy with the explanations, I am not very android skilled already read about "first downgrade", but if this is the only possibility I don't really understand how to do it without ending up with a brick.
Thanks in advance for any guideline
Kingroot worked for me initially, and also Towelroot at a later time (which I see you've tried), only thing is it took several attempts (10+) before either app could finally obtain root ......maybe just keep trying with either of those
