Been searching high and low to make this work. I have d855 running marshmallow but am in able to root it. Tried several one click ones that has failed (kingroot just ends saying root request and a number just under 30000). Kingoroot doesn't do anything. Iroot I've managed to get the cmd thing to work but not the rooting. Have left the phone with kingroot running to see if this request/adapting thing actually lowers.
Any ideas where I go wrong?
The marshmallow version on the phone may be too new and you may have to downgrade to an older version to root. Which version is currently installed?

6.0 I think the kingoroot page said it could handle it (marshmallow in general)
There are various version of MM so it's important to know the exact version of the phone. Apparently, kingroot can root some early releases of MM based on some threads I saw.
It's an d855 or is there another piece of info you mean?
Look under settings and software information. Marshmallow builds begin with 30x where x is a letter.

I have same problem
Kingroot is not work
V30e-AME-XX
If you can't find a root app that works, a ROM downgrade will be required.
Don't you need to be rooted to do that?
No, root is not needed to downgrade but you'll need to find the correct lollipop ROMs to flash.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64624324&postcount=2
Tried the first option on that thread but I only get update stopped due to an error.
Have tried to install twrp but having problems with adb. I thought the adb kit would be enough to make that work. Any idea what else to try?
Go in general thread and search for root marshmallow 30b that guide helped me root my g3 with kingroot. Tell if i helped
I found (I think) the thread you referred to but it seems to require that you have twrp installed. From reading the twrp website i got the impression you need to be rooted to install twrp? Have tried to load the image file from the SD card but can't find it when I reboot it. Not sure where I go wrong but I cannot get it to work.
You need to downgrade with LGflash tool to v30b and use latest kingroot 5.0. Then kingroot will root your phone and autorec file will flash twrp 2.8.0
Tried to do that (see post above) and it didn't work. No idea why.
Is this the thread we are talking about?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/root-twrp-marshmallow-d855-30b-t3286268
Yes and the one at the bottom of page one which tells you how to downgrade to lollipop. The downgrade does not work for me. It only tells me an error occured. The thread you refer to, I think you said you need to downgrade first and the root which I can't do as the downgrade failed.
Try flashing the file v30b from this video and then see if rooting with kingroot works.
Thanks. I'll try that later today.
Account closed so cannot see the file.

Hi everyone,
I have D855 INT, version TWN/TAIWAN. v20i officially released in a few days. I flashed v20i kdz file with flash tool, rom is perfect. When I try to root with One Click Root tool or DP Root, DP Tools and SEND_COMMAND script etc. all methods do not works at this time. Is there a way to root v20i? I use both v20h and v20p, I had not any root problems. How you root when you get v20i?
Thanks.

I am not getting error. SU Binary does not installed, so I could not get the root access. I think LG blocked that.
This woreked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/root-g3-pc-kingroot-t3136013
Try several times if you don't get at first
Downgrade first maybe?
I had to downgrade to my carrier's stock ROM for Kitkat and then I was able to root with the methods listed above. Then I could flash a custom recovery with Flashify and flash a nice ROM like Cyanogenmod or something. Proccess took a while as I soft bricked my phone originally haha

Thx a lot, it worked for me (the other solutions didn't work).
It failed the 1st time. After to clean it (clean recent apps), it succeed the 2nd time :good:
Then, you can do this to have SuperSU and to remove Kingroot: http://zidroid.com/how-to-get-ride-and-replace-kinguser-with-supersu-app/
(I confirm that it's ok on my LG G3 32g TWN-v20i)
Help.
Any other effective method to root LG G3 32GB D855 v20i-TWN? I Actually tried every method I could find From one click root to manual and king root. Nothing works with my phone. :crying:
How many times did you try Kingroot? It took me about 5 times to get it to work. You must also be connected to the internet. I have the exact same model and it did work after a few tries.

I tried alot of times more that 10 ans different versions of it the latest one and previous kingroot versions. What happens is that when I try to root my phone it gets stuck on 16-18% then the kingroot app closes when I try to open it again it says it failed.
I've spent the entire night trying to root my G3 with Telus firmware on 5.0.1, using just about every method I could find on the net. There doesn't seem to be any way to revert to KitKat as I can only find Rogers and Bell firmware for this model, and every root method I've tried appears to go through fine but RootChecker says it's not rooted. Anyone know what to do?

Hello rdjg22,
If you are reading this, I need your help.
I have a Fido D852. I recently downgraded it to Lollipop 5.0.1 (used a Telus KDZ file) and managed to get it rooted.
I can't find a proper way to install TWRP on it.
Your link from the post leads to a File not found page.
If you still have the files you used, can you please share them and explain how you got TWRP on your phone?
Thank you in advance,

Just search the forum and download the AutoRec app for d852 lollipop. That's what his link leads to.
I got my G4 2 days ago and I really want to root it, but unfortunately I realised I have an H815P model and can't be bootloader unlocked, so I can't root it.
I looked around for ways to get past this little inconvenience and found there is a way to root without an unlocked bootloader. The problem now is, this method seems a little old and was originally created for Lollipop, but my phone shipped with Marshmallow already installed and on firmware version 20D.
So the question I want to ask is, will the method of extracting the system.img and injecting root and flashing that back, work with Marshmallow and my variant of the G4?
And if that is indeed possible and will work, will the root files from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765) work with Marshmallow, or is it specific to Lollipop?
EDIT: Another link to a tutorial about extracting the system.img and injecting root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/tut-guide-step-step-guide-rooting-h818p-t3227798); will this tutorial and root files work with Marshmallow and my variant, or is it also Lollipop specific?
Something else I also want to add: my phone info in settings says it's an H815P model, but the Droid Info app on the play store reports it as a 'regular' H815. Does this make a difference, or is it just the app's inability to report the proper variant?
I'm really only interested in getting root, as I don't intend to flash custom ROMs; I just want to use one or two apps that require root, like Titanium Backup, and I'm sure there must be a way to get this device rooted.

You cannot root on marshmallow.. I downgraded my device to Lollipop using KDZ files and then injected root by flashing the rootedsystem image
If you have a H815P device you can't unlock the Bootloader so the only way to root it -for now -is on Lollipop. To get root access on your device you have to do this:
1. Downgrade to 10c (Android 5.1) w/ LGUP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803)
2. Get root access on 10c (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765) (don't listen to the warning not to use on H815P .. it works)
I have an H815P device and this worked for me yesterday..

This would mean then that I won't be able to upgrade to Marshmallow, or any other upgrades that comes after that?
U will be able to go back to stock. When u decide u don't want root anymore u can just flash the correct kdz for h815p and u back to stock
---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------
Also you dont have to flash H815 kdz u can just extract your current system img and inject root with a ubuntu vm
check out this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
Both methods work well ive tried both on my device
You can always upgrade via LGUP but if you want to have root access so you must be on LP
Thank you everyone for your help and advice. I've downgraded and rooted now and it worked, with a slight side-effect; the downgrade formatted my internal storage and I lost all my pictures and other data
I wish the guides were a little more clear about this, that downgrading would format your internal storage, as well. At least I'm rooted now.
So, can anyone recommend an undelete program that actually works and can restore my lost pictures, specifically?
I had 5.1.1 installed. Couldn't get KingRoot to give temp root (lots of people say you can only do it on 4.4.4, lots of other people say they got it to work on 5.1.1 if you read around).
So I tried downgrading to 4.4.4. Odin failed every time.
So I tried downgrading to 5.0.1. That worked. But kingroot still was unable to get root.
I then found King O Root. Tried that once, no luck. Tried it a 2nd time, and success. I then ran the samsund_fix file. And it changed my CID.
But then you have to restart the phone and run the fix file again.
I have run king o root (and tried kingroot) each at least 30 times now. And I can't get either to give me root access again. I've even tried the desktop version of king o root. Nothing.
I'm SOOO close I feel. But I can't get that last step. Its killing me.
Can anyone help with where to go next?
I figure either 1) I have to find a way to get temporary root one more time. OR 2) find a way to get down to kitkat 4.4.4 to get temporary root.
One other quick question, is the reason I can't get to 4.4.4 because I upgraded all the way to 5.1.1? EVERYTHING I read says 'yeah you can downgrade' but mine won't downgrade. Odin fails with an error So how do I get to 4.4.4? Am I just screwed?

Are you sure you have to push the file again?
Sometimes it doesn't take and you need to push it again. The last couple of times I unlocked it went on the first try. Go into download mode and see if it says "developer mode."
I was able to unlock on 5.1.1. Kingroot and Kingoroot are extremely unstable besides being Chinese software with all of the risks that entails. There is supposedly a PC version of one of them (shudder) that is allegedly a bit more stable.
Where are you getting the firmware you're trying to use to downgrade?

So I'm not 100% sure I have to push the file again. I know when I ran the fix file in adb shell the first time, it said I have to run the fix script again. And then when I boot into download mode, I see nothing that says "developer mode".
But, on the other hand. When I check with the eMMC Brickbug checker thing. That says the CID did change according to what the samsung_fix script said it changed it to.
So I *think* the CID changed? But I don't have developer mode. So I think I need to run the fix script again to finish the job.

This may be your problem. I don't think you can flash a rooted ROM with a locked bootloader with success. Try this one. (Thanks, @hsbadr!) It's the OEM firmware. This will mean that you'll need to start from scratch. I should note that another poster has had trouble flashing this firmware although other posters including myself have used it successfully.
@hsbadr has a repository of firmwares. What you're looking for is the full firmware. Sammobile is another source of firmware, but they're terribly slow to download from.

I tried that firmware you linked to. That took me back to 5.1.1. I tried kingroot and kingoroot, and still no luck. After 8 or 9 tries each, I still can't get temproot.
I thought it would be better to go back to 4.4.4, and looked through hsbadr's list of roms you linked me to. I tried both of the 4.4.4 full firmwares (NJ5 and NI1) and both fail on odin.
It would seem to me I'm never getting back to 4.4.4/kitkat am I?
Should I just keep running kingroot/kingoroot until I can get temp root? I ran kingoroot at least 30 times last night on 5.0.1 and never got root again. I really don't understand why I could get it once but never again.
Should I try running it a million times on 5.1.1 where I now am again? Or should I go back to 5.0.1? Is there any other way to get temporary root?

I was able to unlock my bootloader twice on 5.1.1. I used Kingroot to unlock Lollipop and Kingoroot to unlock Marshmallow. See if you can find an older version of either root methods. I think I remember reading somewhere that the newer version is flakier than the older stuff. I'm fairly convinced that the rooted ROM you flashed is part of the problem.
As I said, Kingroot and Kingoroot are highly unstable. You may need to spend quite a bit of time in multiple attempts. It comes down to how badly do you want root?

Holy success. I have no idea why. But after rebooting the phone for the umpteenth time and running kingoroot another 20 times. It finally gave me another successful temp root, this time while on 5.1.1.
I ran the script again, and now when I got into download mode, I have Mode: Developer showing. Hooray.
BUT....then bootloops. I couldn't get it started.
I then accidentally wiped everything, completely wiped. No operating system according to twrp.
So I looked around, and it appears JasmineRom and CM13 by hsbadr are mentioned as good custom ROMs. So I grabbed CM13, used twrp to install it. And success. I have a working phone. At least, for the past couple minutes.
So a tremendous thank you for giving me some guidance.
I have two more questions for the moment though.
1) How easy/hard would it be to lose developer mode? Do I need to be careful about what roms I flash? Could I lose that? Or now that it is in developer mode, should I be pretty safe in that sticking around?
2) Can I try any Rom on it right now. There don't appear to be a lot of verizon note 4 specific roms around for this phone, because it hasn't had root for long. Will any of the other note 4 roms work? Or should I make sure to stick to only 'proven verizon' roms.
Thanks again for the help.
....
Oh, and how bad do I want root? Badly. Super badly. If I had the money I would have ditched this phone forever ago. I will never buy another phone again on the hope/promise that it will get root soon.

The only way I know to lock your bootloader is to flash an OEM firmware, take an OTA or mess with flashing bootloader without knowing what you're doing..
What you can flash depends upon which bootloader you have unlocked. Lollipop? You can flash a ROM based on a Lollipop bootloader. Jasmine 4.3 and CM 13 before 6/20 are Marshmallow ROMs based on Lollipop bootloaders. You can also run ROMs made for the N910F/G (also based on Lollipop bootloaders) if you use the proper data fix.
If you want to run a pure Marshmallow ROM, you need to do the unlock dance again. If you're interested in wifi calling, you'll need to stick with a fairly stock OEM ROM like Jasmine 6.0 or 7.0 (both versions are buried pretty deep in the thread) or PaulPizz which I haven't tried but hear good things about.

Awesome. I downloaded CM13 from before the 20th and it seems to work great. I had to flash the CM13 rom and open GApps at the same time, otherwise the GApps kept crashing. But flashing them at the same time before turning on CM13 for the first time seemed to work.
Thanks for the help. Don't follow things closely enough to have known that I needed a pre 20th build.
Perhaps one more question.
Would you recommend taking the time to unlock the marshmallow bootloader? I don't need wifi calling. And I seem to be getting most of the benefits of 6.0.1 now even though using a lollipop bootloader.
I'm hesitant to try to unlock the marshmallow bootloader, because according to the instructions, it looks like I have to deal with kingroot/kingoroot again to do it. And I had such a hard time getting those to work this first time (easily 80+ tries running kingoroot) before I got temproot, that I'm not sure I want to take the risk of doing it again.
In your opinion, is it worth the risk to unlock the marshmallow bootloader? Or is running marshmallow on the lollipop bootloader reasonable enough?
Thanks

That's a difficult question to answer and for me would boil down to whether I wanted features available in Marshmallow based ROMs or not.
Wifi calling is a nice to have feature for me but it's not really a dealbreaker. There's a bit more security baked into Marshmallow which is always nice to have.
The development atmosphere is more active over at the generic Note 4 forum. You can now get one of the super ROMs (Note/S7 combo ports) in either flavor. You'll want to stick with ROMs developed for the N910F or G models. They're international phones with fewer integration headaches for our N910V phones. To use those ROMs on our phone, you'll need a data fix most kindly provided by @louforgiveno.
My suggestion in picking a ROM is to zero in on one that seems to have the features you'd like to have and read the entire thread. Look for threads in either the General or Q&A subforums that are dedicated to answering questions about the ROM and read those, too. Some of those threads are upwards to 1,000 posts or more, you say? You'll discover what problems people have had with the ROM and the solutions or workarounds needed to overcome them. You'll also discover just how lazy many posters are either not reading thoroughly or failing to use the search function.
Final suggestions? Do a full nandroid backup before you flash anything. In TWRP, check off all of the boxes. In many of today's ROMs, you'll have a 8 to 10 gig backup file. If you can't keep that on the phone, move it to your PC. There will be far fewer tears if something goes wrong. When you flash a ROM, do a full wipe. I check off Dalvik/ART cache, system, data, and cache. For your first ROM, I would move anything that you have on internal storage off the phone and wipe internal storage too. If you have any Kingroot/Kingoroot cooties, that should clear them off the phone. When you're done flashing a ROM there's an option to wipe the cache. Do it. If you've installed a bunch or apps or deleted them, wipe the Dalvik and cache. It'll help bring the Android stars into alignment as that forces the system to optimize.
Good luck and happy flashing.
You need to go to 5.1.1 use kingOroot and then do it again. Cid will remain that's what I did. Its different for everyone these root methods are pulled from the internet and it will usually take a few time and it will try dufrrent methods of rooting

I had 5.1.1 installed. Couldn't get KingRoot to give temp root (lots of people say you can only do it on 4.4.4, lots of other people say they got it to work on 5.1.1 if you read around).
So I tried downgrading to 4.4.4. Odin failed every time.
So I tried downgrading to 5.0.1. That worked. But kingroot still was unable to get root.
I then found King O Root. Tried that once, no luck. Tried it a 2nd time, and success. I then ran the samsund_fix file. And it changed my CID.
But then you have to restart the phone and run the fix file again.
I have run king o root (and tried kingroot) each at least 30 times now. And I can't get either to give me root access again. I've even tried the desktop version of king o root. Nothing.
I'm SOOO close I feel. But I can't get that last step. Its killing me.
Can anyone help with where to go next?
I figure either 1) I have to find a way to get temporary root one more time. OR 2) find a way to get down to kitkat 4.4.4 to get temporary root.
One other quick question, is the reason I can't get to 4.4.4 because I upgraded all the way to 5.1.1? EVERYTHING I read says 'yeah you can downgrade' but mine won't downgrade. Odin fails with an error So how do I get to 4.4.4? Am I just screwed?

For me, I had to run Kingoroot from my laptop, and Kingroot never worked.
Hi All! New here and looking to root my device and roll back to 30d to do so. Is there and step by steps as i downloaded thr proper drivers, lg mobile flasher, and the kdz file to perform the down grade. I found thevpost with all the links but am i supposed to just go into download mode and just flash thr kdz and go ahead with kingroot and then flash twrp using flashify as well as supersu? Its been a while i rooted my device.
Yes use KDZ to flash back D85130D then make sure your on wifi oe data .
1. Download kingroot and install
2. Dowbload LG-G3-Flasable-Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip from here. And put on root folder or phone storage . http://redirect.viglink.com/?format...&txt=LG-D85130D-Flashable.Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip
3. Download the latest TWRP for d851. Put on root of phone storage. And download SuperSu latest verison and put on root of phone storage
4. Download Banks Gapps 6.x.x.x. Put on root of phone storage
5. Dowbload and install flashify
6. Run kingroot till you are temp rooted
7. Flash twrp in flashify
8. Reboot into recovery
9. In twrp click install and install the AUTOREPACK
10. Now click back and go to install on twrp and install SuperSu.
Now once all done you are now permananet rooted on D85130D with Super Su. Also you can do the code trick to turn of OTA update google it or you can download a app called disable service and inside the app go to googleplayservices and you will see a bunch of stuff with checkmarks look for the one called systemupdateservices and un check it it will ask for root grant it . the. There you have it no more OTA
Kingroot just won't work for me at all on my LG D851. I've tried repeatedly on numerous occasions within the last 2 weeks and it's the same thing.....No Support for This Device. I have downloaded the apk from different links, direct download, mirror........I can't even remember now from what other sources besides those I used also. What am I doing wrong, it's as simple as hitting the install button (besides the google warning).
I got a G3 yesterday & tried several root methods, KingRoot (this app seems dicey to me, it adds a lot of other "stuff" that I don't want need), Stumproot (which said FAIL system is patched, and PurpleDrake method (which, after finding & rebooting phone, sat at awaiting device for 20+ minutes), and LG_root, where you had to type in the root script (also fail). I have successfully rooted my wifes G3 earlier this year (D851 same model as mine) but this one's a big PITA (ota updated to 30d MM )
