[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bamx2:
Anyone have any idea on if/ when LG wil relase an Android 4.4.4 ( Kitkat) update for the US version of this LG F6 ( T-mobile / MetroPCS) ? - Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] seities:
Looks like it may be never? I'm frustrated at not being able to find any usable kitkat rom for the US version, mostly because mine came with OV5693 camera, and it doesn't seem to find support in Kitkat. Wondering if it'll ever get a full CM11 development, which otherwise works okay and feels snappy. Didn't test it long enough since the camera wasn't working though.

It started on my G2 on the stock rom. No alarms but the alarm icon is still in the notification bar. I rooted and installed Malodus and it came back. I installed carbon, there it was. No matter what rom. I can't find an app that causes it. If I open Clock app it goes away instantly but comes back again.

Now guess what. Bought a new G3 and there it is. What the heck?

ROOT FOR AT&T LG G3

Here are two ways to root the LG G3 on AT&T

AS OF NOW THERE IS NO ROOT FOR LOLLIPOP ON THE AT&T LG G3

Once a method is found thread will be updated...

First Method: TowelRoot by geohot - Does Not Work on 10F Or Later

Second Method: IORoot by autoprime - Does Not Work on 10F Or Later

Third Medthod: Stump Root by IOMonster - jcase - Autoprime - PlayfulGod - Team Codefire

WARNINGS & DISCLAIMERS

​

Proceed with caution and at your own risk - I am not responsible if your phone self destructs, gets bricked, or melts.

Please keep in mind that both these methods will yield ROOT only - as of know there is no way to unlock bootloader on AT&T

Rooting and any other modifications to your phone will void your warranty - do not root if you do not know what you are doing.

Rooted devices will not be able to receive OTA updates. You may have to unroot and restore stock in order to accept updates.​
[AT&T LG G3] neverends:
How to check if you tripped the root counter

Once your device is rooted via either method - the device secret service menu will show that you are rooted.

To check:

1. Go to dialer

2. enter 3845#*850#

3. Scroll to and click on LG RCT

4. click Display Results

Here you will see that it shows the device is rooted

Once the device is unrooted - the setting will be reset to No Root

My G3 from AT&T is on order and should be in my hands in a week or so. What firmware version comes with the phone out of the box? Should I root immediately to avoid any patches from being installed?

My reason for asking is based on my experience with the Moto X. I realized too late that accepting the standard upgrade to 4.4.2 via OTA would eliminate any chance of rooting. I want to make sure that I don't fall into that trap again. :)

According to a friend of mine, towelroot will not trip the QFuse, only the root counter. If you read post #2 on this thread that issue is addressed.
[AT&T LG G3] neverends:
QFuse will only be tripped if the recovery or rom is changed... The root counter will reset to No Root if you use the unroot method I posted
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
Does it also remove the line about the first time you rooted? Also, when you say Rom is changed does that mean debloating/removing carrieriq/using xposed will trip it?
[AT&T LG G3] neverends:
I rooted the phone using towel root - used Root Explorer to uninstall Bloat - installed Xposed and G3 TweakBox... then I checked to root checker in the hidden menu and it showed that it was rooted but the QFUSE was intact... then I unrooted using the method i posted.. Not only was the phone unrooted, traces of xposed installation were removed, and the root check in the hidden menu showed No Root with no additional information - also the QFUSE was still intact.

This is my experience and I have tested it twice. However... as always... Your mileage may vary...

[AT&T LG G3] Galaxy_S_:
So I have a question... I just got a G3 with ATT. I rooted it with Towelroot. I've been seeing stuff about the G3tweakbox and I reallyyyy want it. But I want to make a nandroid backup first for peace of mind just in case. My question is how exactly do I do that when TWRP and CWM aren't supported on the device because of the locked boot loader? Not really finding any information on Google on the att variant. So I'm kind of lost. Right now it seems like my only option I (unless I'm missing something) is to just take a chance and just flash xposed and hope for the best. But I'm not THAT desperate yet. Lol. I'd feel a lot better about having a nandroid backup first in case something goes wrong. Just don't want to wait. =[ is there another way other than custom recoveries, to make a nandroid backup? Thanks
[AT&T LG G3] IEatKittys!:
There's no way to make a nandroid backup without custom recovery. Correct me if i am wrong. Also, just install Xposed. if you don't like it you can always uninstall it.
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
You could try using the built in backup app from lg.
[AT&T LG G3] Galaxy_S_:
Thank you for the response. I thought I saw somewhere once that there was a way to do an online nandroid backup but no idea where it was or how to do it. And on the thread with the link and info on xposed it highly recommends to make a nandroid backup first just in case. I'm kind of afraid to jump in and just do it without any backups in case something goes wrong =/ I know it's not extensive like a custom ROM is and doesn't change any of the apks or anything major but doesn't it still have the potential to soft brick the device or get it stuck in a boot loop?
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
Yes, but it's a chance you take. I have no experience with the online nandroid you refer to so i can't comment on that.
[AT&T LG G3] neverends:
Jump in... If all else fails you can restore using the unroot and restore to factory method... Its a good idea to backup before making changes but in this case we can't.

I am running rooted, Debloated, with xposed and G3 Tweakbox and the phone is running amazingly well.

If your rooted make a backup of all the bloatware you don't want with titanium backup and then remove the apps. What I did and I have zero bloat. I even followed the carrier iq removal instructions on the other thread and got rid of that junk also :).

[AT&T LG G3] JeffDC:
Well, we know that the root trip fuse is a software fuse which trips on rooting. Same as my purchased phone 'unlock' for my ATT LG G3, because if I fully OEM restore the phone, the trip/root fuse is back to zero, and I have to re-unlock the phone. Thus they are software based, correct?

Is there some method, like a binary editor to edit a binary file (also search and compare) one file from another for changes, that can go into the full HG3 phone system, do a pre- phone unlock 'read', then unlock the phone, and then do a post unlock phone read, and compare the two, to find exactly what was changed? Same for the where the software root trip fuse is, and then be able to simply edit that file/location?

Flash superSU.zip (if you want to replace kingroot)
