Sigh -_-.....yes I know that I'm not slow lol....even with it installed it automatically uses root. I installed it and starting using xposed and it never asked for permissions nor listed them in the app.

Edit: well I flashed recovery using rashr (think thats what its called) then flashed the stock root rom from the tmo forum and everything is working as expected. Im guessing my wacked out way tripped whatever root counter there is but i dont care

mine failed just now, it's a UK version from Carphonewarehouse, on the 02 network.

software = v10a-EUR-xx built KVT49L.A1401987978 Kernel 3.4.0 16GB D855

I tried twice, first time it tried to reboot and froze on a blank screen, I popped the battery out , rebooted and tried again. Same error, but this time it rebooted ok.

Your phone is a [ LG-D855 ] on [ OPEN ] running SW version [ V10a ] ...

Alright. We're ready to go. We're going to temproot your phone first. Press enter when you're ready!

Press [enter] to continue...

Rebooting phone...

Waiting for device... ... Found device!

Found device, checking if vulnerable...

Yep, performing temproot...

ERROR: Something went wrong. FakeSU didn't work, rebooting phone.

We tried to temproot you, and it didn't work. This phone isn't vulnerable, it would appear.

Please post on XDA with your phone model, carrier, and SW version in the PurpleDrake thread and someone will take a look.

Your phone has been rebooted back to normal system mode, no changes have been made. Thanks for trying!

Thankssss!!! Was waiting for the Windows version anxiously. Already made all kinds of backups so could start the 10G-update as soon as you were ready.

Well, arrived faster than expected! So few minutes ago flashed 10G on my Europen 855 and used your script....

Hey presto, rooted again! You're my hero! :good:

What's the 10g update????
[G3 Android Development] 557953:
Works like a charm on windows :) I decided to go back to stock yesterday to see if it reset my root counter which it seemed to, and decided to try Purple Drake after being a TR user for a while and was it was completely idiot proof :)

great work, looking forward to further updates to the great tool :)

I'm on D855 10F in India. Wanted to root with PurpleDrake - Lite. Followed the instructions on Windows. Phone is detected, reboots but to screen with phone and In & Out arrow cable and circle with hand over it. It just stops there. Do I have unlocked bootloader. How to go about rooting in this condition.
[G3 Android Development] BioVolt:
I have one question hopefully someone will be able to answer.

I am already rooted, have flashed v10e Swedish .kdz on my UK D855, if I run this, (on Windows), will it flash TWRP?

Because I would think that it would just reroot so there is no issue with that, am just hoping that this will flash TWRP so that I don't have to do it manually.

Then again, can we flash TWRP on the D855 UK?

So actually 2 questions, any response will be greatly appreciated, thank you.
[G3 Android Development] 557953:
No it won't I'm afraid

Not yet, but hopefully once all G3's are rooted it will be worked on :)

Hey, how did you update to that, through OTA? :)

If yes, could you please help the rest of us?

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/download-kdz-device-t2805857 - follow the instructions with your IMEI number and paste the output for the rest of us (you can remove your IMEI before you paste it!)

Then we can get the official D855 10F .kdz file, instead from a chinese forum. :)

Post the output here: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/ota-update-to-v10e-t2824121 :)

You enable ADB in debugging menu in settings, after you try the first command which boots to "recovery" if will need you to accept a key on your phone, accept it & try again. :)

Thanks I did update through OTA.

Will I be able to do an OTA Update after rooting

I'm asking as I read a few users reporting issue regarding it
[G3 Android Development] AndroidPaul:
The most can update without a problem.

For me it worked.
[G3 Android Development] orlandson:
V10a is very old. You should update your phone before root.
[G3 Android Development] muztaki:
i would end up with V10f again..and i dont know whether any tool work with that version.

I'll try flashing the V10e --> root --> and check if there is any OTA functional

[G3 Android Development] orlandson:
Just right click the file purpledrake_windows.bat and "Run as admin".
[G3 Android Development] KingOfDope:
You use mac?

try this Or try the bottom one:

Enable debugging on your phone.

Connect your phone to your mac.

Open "purpledrake_osx.command" and read it (Mostly you need to click on enter).

it reboots

Go to play store and install supersu

done

???

Profit?

If you use pc:

Install lg g3 drivers

Enable debugging on your phone.

Connect your phone to your mac.

Open "purpledrake_windows.bat" as admin and read it (I think it's the same as mac).

it reboots

Go to play store and install supersu

done

???

Profit?

I hope I helped you!

does purpledrake need pre requirement apps?

i tried root tool.phone went recovery but signature error installing zip file (root.zip).

i dont have mac.
[G3 Android Development] KingOfDope:

no download is ok.firmware is new root tool can't root.i don't know why purpledrake can't root my phone.most users with 10g or higher done root but me i don't know why.

plz help to root.
[G3 Android Development] muztaki:
Hmm

First i had problems too but i went back to the first one... I think is V10a.. I would recommend flashing your g3 back to V10a then use purpledrake or try other methods like stomp.. Ioroot? or towelroot...

I also used three different laptops. Try another one. One worked fine for me.
[G3 Android Development] Amb669:
This worked great on my phone!! it sounds confusing to use, but it's actually so simple :) BIG THANKS to the dev, cubed you are the shiznit :)

although i did have a couple issues, everything got sorted and and going smooth once again.

running version 10b

model D852

carrier is bell

issue #1. i couldn't run the ADB file on my windows rig (run as administrator), it would just flash by instantly and close iteself. (which made me expect purple drake was gonna hang on detecting device, and it did)

My solution was to just run the main purpledrake.bat and when it hung on detecting devices (which i was expecting since the ADB file didn't run properly) it would hook the device but wouldn't proceed (but i figured it loaded and would work next try, and it did!) waited for a min when it hung up just to be sure then closed purpledrake and re-ran purple drake and it proceeded without any issues.

issue #2. directly after flashing purple drake my phone was heating up a little bit after installation and had about 15%-20% extra battery drain, i tried to disable ADB then rebooted the phone which didn't work.

My solution was to wait awhile (just incase it was building/modifying any caches) then full power down waited a couple mins with phone off and turned back on and it appears the heat issue and battery drain are both gone!!

Question. Has anyone tried this on a arm based Chromebook? It's Linux, so if it has an adb command built in, I know it should work using crouton on x86 Chromebooks, but I'm not sure if it would on arm architecture. Unfortunately, stump is a no go, and a Chromebook is the only thing available to me, at the moment.

No, it won't let you. Just says your phone is rooted and doesn't allow it. Atm you'd have to restore to stock un-rooted state with LG PC Suite then install OTA, then re-root. Easy, and nothing is lost. Some bloat is reinstalled:

[G3 Android Development] Irvysan:
1. Its a partition on the handset which contains critical info about your handset (IMEI etc.)

2. If you don't and it gets deleted/corrupt you have an expensive paperweight.

3. See post 2 in this thread
[G3 Android Development] joejoe23:
Alright I already made a nandroid backup including efs.
[G3 Android Development] ernadr:
Backup EFS after jailbreaking your G3. EFS is split into 2 partitions modemst1 and modemst2.

img files will be on root of internal sdcard. Save the .img files somewhere else besides the sdcard... email, cloud, etc..

DO NOT FLASH OTHER PEOPLES EFS OR FLASH YOUR OWN BACKUPS ONTO ANOTHER PHONE.

THIS WILL BREAK EFS ON THE PHONE YOU ARE FLASHING TO. EFS BACKUPS ARE FOR THE PHONE THEY CAME FROM ONLY.

HERE is an EFS backup .zip that can be flashed in TWRP.

the zip creates a new flashable zip in /sdcard/efs_backup

you can flash this new flashable zip in TWRP any time you need to restore your EFS.

Or you can do it manually...

Backup:

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst1 of=/sdcard/modemst1.img

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst2 of=/sdcard/modemst2.img

Restore:

adb shell

su

dd if=/sdcard/modemst1.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst1

dd if=/sdcard/modemst2.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst2

LG-V410 Root using PurpleDrake

I was NOT able to root LG-V410 from Windows 7 x64. using drivers 3.12.3 and windows sees LG using either MTP or PTP can browse and load files. However running PurpleDrake Windows.bat file it does not connect using either MTP or PTP. Is there a config or way to mount LG to PurpleDrake? Tried on MacBook Pro but MTP connection only stays up for 30 seconds. Stumproot v1.2 worked on LG G3 D850 but not on V410.

thanks
[G3 Android Development] Donaghy:
I had previously rooted my G3 with PurpleDrake Lite, but unrooted earlier today (using LG PC Suite) because of some issues. I've been trying to re-root with PurpleDrake for about an hour now, but the command prompt hangs at:

"Press [enter] to continue

Waiting for device..."

The phone is in PTP mode, as stated in the tutorial, and I'm not doing anything different than I did before. Anybody have an idea why this suddenly is not working anymore? Thanks.

EDIT: Just for clarity: it's an international model, no Verizon or anything.

EDIT 2: After stumbling upon the StumpRoot thread and seeing it required a fresh (i.e. factory reset) device to work, I tried the same for PurpleDrake. It worked instantly. As a heads-up: unrooting with LG PC Suite and then re-rooting only works after completing a hard factory reset, i.e. a full wipe of your phone.
