All I see are options that require me to unlock the bootloader (lose warranty completely) or use Kingroot (borderline malware and is only temporary).
Is there no way to root MM yet that doesn't include the above?
I want to remove so much crap Virgin Mobile put on my phone and block ads. I mean they put Mcafee Security on my phone and it doesn't allow me to disable it.
Take a look at this page on this thread. The first two post on the page are what you need to root. I would have rooted mine but i await autorec for D852G marshmallow, all other versions are available. i believe your device version will be avaialble. So currently i am temp rooted with king root.
If you worry about king root being malware then simply install droidwall and block it from having access to the internet after you root.
Which device do you use.
the annoying thing is, to root the lg g3 mm you need to unlock the bootloader, and to unlock the bootloader you need to root... so am like what kind of messed up situation is that. Currently no developers are showing much support for rooting the LG G3. wish i dint buy the device

I could live without titanium backup i guess.
Im using d852 with no g.
But the best ad blockers all need root
Gues im stuck waiting for the warrenty to expire and doing it anyway.
I tried flashing back to 5.0 using flashtool, but i got so many problems and errors, i bricked my phone twice.so when i finally got back to 6.0 I just said screw it.
I guess that it's impossible to extract the exploit which kingroot uses? I am looking for root d855 without kingroot and I see that it doesn't exist...
Just tried the 1 click with MM, script said fail, phone says do not unplug, flashing firmware, 0%, unsure what to do now...
I pulled battery and all is fine.. guess a sg update is in order...

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.
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.

Did you try the g flex 2 rooting method?
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

Way different phone
well got this **** to work when SU told me to reinstall with twrp -_- i rebooted and lost root now i can't get it to work (semi bricked FML)
Also used other root apps so might be a combo problem of this **** is the system mount/un-mount i had this with my s3 once it disabled my internal sd, so i need an twrp to get it back going or i'll just call my insurance

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
Sooo, I want to root my LG G4 (H815). It's on 6.0 V20d-EUR-XX. My SN starts with 505 and I read that it will probably have a boot loop problem. Thats why I don't want to unlock the bootloader(avoid voiding warranty). Is there a method without unlocking it?

am the same as you but mine its 601.. i just updated it to MM.. seems like its impossible without twrp and mod kernel..
ive seen a page that says its possible i just dont get it
i feel mortal without root :crying::crying:
http://www.androidinfotech.com/2016/04/root-lg-g4-60-marshmallow.html
My device: LG G4(H815) on V20d-EUR-XX Android 6.0, SN starts with 505, antirollback: 0, bootloader locked, not rooted, no recovery installed.
I did some research and this is my plan.
Can some tell me if the following steps will successfully root my device without any problems?
Or did I get something wrong somewhere?
1. Backup data
2. Downgrade to "Europe General H81510B_00.kdz" (or should I use Europe OPEN H81510D.kdz? Whats the difference?) with help of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60718499&postcount=2
3. Inject root with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
(4. Install SuperSU, Flashify and then TWRP)
After that can I upgrade to 6.0 while keeping root?
Will I void the warranty by doing this? I mean the bootloader would still be locked, right? Or did I get something wrong?
If it will void the warranty, can I get it back by unrooting my phone? If so, how can I unroot it?
I just want to be extremly careful, because if I get the bootloop (or some other **** happens), I want to send my phone in for repair.
Thanks in advance.

can you inject on MM?? it will void warranty if they found out root... to unroot it i think you must flash KDZ stock firmware while in bootloop it will flash it and root will be gone.... i think thats how it works not so sure.. i know that rooted system then flashing stock will remove root if refurbished is selected... also if you have bootloop people downgrade to lollipop and then flash modded TOT that disables big cores. so even with bootloop flashing stock will reset everything when refurbished its used... i think thats how it works.... i want to root MM to..
not so sure you can keep root .. you mean to go to lollipop use rooted system and update to 6.0? and keep root.. i beleive youll loose root.. but not 100% sure i might be wrong..

Thanks for the info about unrooting. That made me a little bit more secure about rooting my device
And by the way I don't want to inject on MM. I will downgrade to Android 5.1 and then I will inject root.
That way I will have root access, but I guess I will have to stay on 5.1 until there is a better way to root 6.0.

Hi all, I'm new to android rooting, and have been consuming knowledge over the last few days like a large sponge.
I discovered that McAfee had set itself if with admin rights on my phone, and had been sending texts to international numbers without alerting me, took me a good while to find out where the extra charges from my carrier were coming from. Anyway, I cant delete it as its in the ROM, so i rooted the phone (on lollipop) and deleted it, along with some other bloatware that LG and my carrier decided I would want, and then updated the phone to marshmallow (I didn't actually realise marshmallow had been released, I don't keep in the android loop, and my phone always said the latest OS was installed - had to update it through LGs PC suite).
To my abject horror McAfee was back, I can only assume this was due to the update to marshmallow, and not because it somehow survived deletion somewhere on the phone. So now, i need to root the phone, and delete McAfee again, however I really dont want to use Kingroot to do it. Its very shifty, looking at various info on the web, what with it sending information to IPs in China and running services in the background. The other alternative, using Supersu's systemless root, requires the bootloader to be unlocked, but to unlock the bootloader, a root is required (please correct me if any of this information is incorrect, I am pretty new to the android side of things - ive only ever jailbroken iDevices before now). I think im right in saying I could unlock the boot loader if I could access fastboot, but the command 'adb reboot-bootloader' only reboots the phone, rather than booting into the bootloader.
Is there anything I can do to get around this ? Once its rooted and the bloatware deleted, Ill unroot it (I use banking apps and they wont run if the phone is rooted) so I dont want to flash any custom ROMS or anything - just get access to files on the root.
Hi. I am about to purchase a Huawei Mate SE and wanted to know if there is a way to root without unlocking the bootloader. It looks like Kingroot and/or Kingoroot might be an option. I'm not new to rooting phones so I understand most of the basics. From what I read, I won't be able to install a custom recovery and therefore can't install custom ROMs which is fine. I mainly want root for apps like Titanium Backup and Greenify. I don't want to lose the ability to OTA. Is this possible? Thanks in advance for the help.
Kingroot and kingoroot are hot piles of garbage on oreo, and nougat. Pretty sure it only works up to lollipop.
Only way to root is to flash Magisk, and that requires an unlocked bootloader.
Dang. That sucks. Thanks for the response though
no need to install a custom recovery to get root. unlockbootloder densest effect ota. after u unlock ur bootloader you can flash a patch kernel that has Magisk

I just ordered this phone also. You should be able to get your bootloader unlocked with a service. See threads.
I sure hope so. Cause i plan on doing some stuff with this device.
Unlocking the bootloader is not difficult, but then there is a stupid bootloader unlocked warning that comes every time the phone restarts. And supposedly there is no way to turn it off for Huawei phones
