ok so i ran the program on my iMac and it seemed to run flawlessly! I downloaded SuperSu and it installed the needed binaries. I downloaded root checker and ran the app. it says this device does not have root access.

Did i do something wrong?

---------- Post added at 06:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 AM ----------

nevermind. I uninstalled root checker and downloaded again and tried once more. Said i have root access!!

This method was very easy!!! Much easier than my old HTC EVO 4G days!!! Thanks so much!!

Purple Drake root Lolipop ?

Hi guys,

I have received OTA update on my LG G3 yesterday.

I remember I used Purple Drake to root my phone a few month ago but I remember how to identify if my phone is LG-D855 or another...

Also, is purple drake able to root the new lolipop build ?

No you can not

Ok, so I rooted successfully using purpledrake and then after about an hour superuser kept denying everything. I tried clearing data, uninstalling and re-installing and no go! Root checker also said no root access (It did confirm root when initially completed)

I thought i'd just run purple drake again and re-root the phone, but got the error below.

[G3 Android Development] h4ck3rc1:
At the moment the solution if you want Lollipop and root is to install a custom ROM that is pre rooted like I have (I am running Resurrection Remix LP 5.2.4 which is pre rooted Android 5.0.1) until they make a super-user for stock

[G3 Android Development] robbyyyyyyy:
The phone I am trying to root is a brand new LG G3. (sprint)
[G3 Android Development] h4ck3rc1:
Could be a driver issue... I had the same problem with my Linux OS, as soon as I booted into Windows, it worked without a problem.
[G3 Android Development] vs8:
Weird because ADB actually recognizes the device. Older versions of the software on the phone can be rooted. I just happen to run V10T. I guess I have to wait and see if the developers figure it out.

I can't run Windows. None of my computers run it, and it's the first time I have a phone with this issue. It tells me that it doesn't have sufficient permissions whenever I try to do something with ADB. I think it's LG locking things down. This is a Korean version, so things could be a little different.
[G3 Android Development] h4ck3rc1:
Hmm, could be. Sounds strange, but like I said, mine did the exact thing, and adb did recognise, it would just hang at the detecting part like yours, and then I tried it on Windows and it worked. Maybe you could try running Windows in a virtual box or try a Linux live CD and try that? Just some thoughts

How did you get rooted lollipop? I tried to but when I run purple drake it says temp root failed - no such file or directory.

P.S. I have the same model as you.
[G3 Android Development] NatTheCat:
He downgraded then installed a custom lollipop rom.
[G3 Android Development] Bad4ss:
Thanks for that, I've looked through the custom lollipop roms and they all seem to have one issue or another, like bluetooth or camera issue. is there anyway to root the vanilla stock OTA and update with that?
[G3 Android Development] B@sti:
Nope, you have to be on kitkat, then root it, flash TWRP and then you can flash a pre rooted lollipop rom.

That's how i did it and imo it's the only way for this early stage.
[G3 Android Development] h4ck3rc1:
A little off topic but if you want Lollipop and root, I would highly recommend an AOSP based ROM, the one I'm using (Resurrection Remix) has little to no bugs, everything I use works fine and it is 10 times smoother than stock.

Does anyone know how this works with android 5.0, I'm running the D855 international version. It appeared to work and rebooted my phone so I installed SuperSU and I get this when I open the app.

'Super SU

There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!

If you just upgraded to Android 5.0, you need to manually re-root- consult the relevant forums for your device!'
[G3 Android Development] h4ck3rc1:
As has been answered your many times before, this method of root is not yet available for Lollipop and currently the only way people have root Lollipop on their G3's is by way of custom ROM
[G3 Android Development] schaggo:
Sure it does?

I'm new to LG so not fully sure of what I'm saying. But having had a look at the script, combined with what I know from the many other devices I had, I think the following happens on my 10L G3:

The scripts recognises the adb device (manual check: adb devices -> LGD855blahblah device)

Reboots to bnr_recovery (never heard before) and then basically hangs at step 2 with waiting for device.

Manually checking the status of the device (adb devices) lists it as recognised, but offline (adb devices -> LGD855blahblah offline).

Why would it be listed as offline in this, as it seems, specifically adb centric recovery mode? Any recommendations?

Additional information:

got the device yesterday evening. Unsure of the preloaded version, it was directly rootable with towelroot from towelroot.com so kernel build date must have been pre-july.

After root, I played around with it, decided to bump it which I did, flashed a bumped Lollipop followed by superuser zip from twrp. After that I realised Xposed doesn't run on Lollipop (I forgot :p) and downgraded to KitKat using the flash tool and D85510L_00.kdz taken from LG themselves after providing them with my IMEI ;)

This is where I am. 10L running nicely and smoothly, but rooting fails because bnr recovery offers the device as offline (unauthorised?) only and refuses access.

As I flashed a bumped Lollipop through twrp, I don't think any leftovers are interfering which did not get overwritten by the 10L flash?

[G3 Android Development] B@sti:
This thread is the right one (i replied on the "Bump for Windows" thread also.)

You can't root your phone while you're running Lollipop. You have to downgrade to kitkat, root it and then flash a pre bumped recovery image.

Backup your EFS partition just to be safe and to avoid a bricked phone without an imei.

If you absolutely don't know how to do any of these steps you should think about it and maybe don't try to do it.

Don't get me wrong, i meant no offense and i don't want to sound disrespectful but if you don't understand the english language well enough to get everything set, you maybe should search for tutorials in your language or as mentioned before just let it be, mate.

Also this thread has a question & answer section.
[G3 Android Development] jerusalem.boy:
Thank you very much for your help and for your Interest and i can understand english enough :) and i understand your advice very well

i'm have big and good knowledge in android but this is my first time i get locked phone :\ so i'm rely think about downgrade my phone and back to kitkat until lollipop get rotted because when i was on kitkat i feel so good and my phone was rotted :) so what do you think ?
[G3 Android Development] B@sti:
Look buddy.

First, here on xda are at least 1 or 2 threads that explain step by step how to downgrade your phone using the LG Flash Tool and an official LG kitkat ROM.

After you're back on kitkat, you can use Purple Drake Lite (Look @ opening post) to root your phone while it's connected to your pc. Instructions are also on the first page. After success with purple drake you have to install SuperSU from the Play Store.

When SuperSU has installed all binaries and you restarted your phone you install Flashify (Play Store too) and flash the twrp recovery for your device from the official website.

After that you can run the recovery mode and flash rooted lollipop stock roms like Cloudyfa's or any other ROM provided here on xda to have a rooted Lollipop OS.
[G3 Android Development] yuukimoonstar:
hi,

I currently have the D851 on version 10r, when trying to root i get that the process was successful. But when i download SuperSU i get that there are no SU Binary installed.

could someone provide help with this issue?:confused:

thanks
[G3 Android Development] kchiman:
besides the custom Rom，it's possible to install the official LG LL KDZ?
[G3 Android Development] B@sti:
Yeah but without root and only with the LG Flash Tool in my opinion.

I had it rooted before. But then Samsung recently released an update this week. And it unrooted the device. And now when I try to root.

I get a red hand inside a prohibited sign. and there is an usb wire and another wire, connected to the phone. and hte wires on the other end is pointing out. so the red hand inside the prohibited thing is on top of the wires pointing out. so i gather I shouldn't remove the usb wire. The phone in this little icon is showing a tool and two arrows circling the tool, like it's doing something. I've never gotten this before when I tried rooting it. is there something wrong?﻿ I have lg-g3 LG-D851 software version D85110r droid 4.4.2 kernel 3.4.0

Can't root G3, model v20f-eur-xx...

Can anyone help me pls...
[G3 Android Development] B@sti:
Read the thread like mentioned 1000 times before.

If you don't know whats the model number and what's the version number of your operating system, you should just stop trying it.

Your device model is D855 and your software build (20F) stands for the newest Lollipop Stock ROM.

That's on the screenshot so come on, serious?

You can't root Lollipop, you have to downgrad to KitKat (10XX) and then purple drake rooting will work. Read the thread, search the LG G3 section and stop asking if you don't know what you're doing. Period.
[G3 Android Development] Opus Dei:

i understand everything what you tell me but can I ask you for working link, which explain how to downgrade to kitkat...

PLS?
[G3 Android Development] B@sti:
I don't hate you, it's just annoying.

Tutorial

Take on of the in root dir provided .kdz files on the linked download page (Firmware Files) in that tutorial.

These are all KitKat firmwares for your d855. Choose one, downgrade and then you come back here.
[G3 Android Development] Opus Dei:

[G3 Android Development] Opus Dei:

[G3 Android Development] B@sti:
Great. Seems like u did it. Once your recovery is installed, you're free to get rooted stock lollipop roms or custom lollipop roms like cm12.

Wasn't that difficult mh? ;)
[G3 Android Development] kchiman:
i guess the rooted stock ll rom you means is made by others, they changes something to make the rom to flashable zip. correct me if i am wrong.

however, most of those rom is from Europe area which may lose some of custom locale features of my country... so i decide to wait some more times.

Or if there is some guideline to make the offical kdz to the flashable zip?
[G3 Android Development] B@sti:
Uhm.. I really don't know. I've used a pre rooted and bumped 20F stock ROM from here on xda.

[G3 Android Development] Peacemaker666:
I would rather use a backup tool like Helium to backup your personal data. It should have access to most of your apps but probably not all. The rest should work in my opinion (downgrade, root, flash a rooted ROM). So you could also use a Custom ROM if you want instead of the rooted Stock ROM.

When you use the LG Backup Tool, you're not sure what will be restored. Perhaps the unrooted status of the ROM.

Not working on SW version “V20f”

Hey guys,

Just attempted this on an unlocked LG G3 (D855) in the U.K., running the latest Lollipop firmware (SW version V20f). Apparently, my handset is not vulnerable. I'm assuming this is because PurpleDrake doesn't work with LG's latest software yet, but I thought I'd double-check I wasn't doing anything wrong.

Also, does anyone know of another root I could try with this handset? I'd really like to try out the new CyanogenMod 12 ROM.
