All I want is root access. Is there no way to "just" gain root access with the version of 5.0.1 D851 20g?
[T-Mobile LG G3] OffDatGoGo:
LOL to my understanding, the link that I posted explains how to do just that. I still haven't had time to try it. Hopefully tonight. But there are a couple people in that thread that said it worked for their D851 20g.

Have you read the OP of that thread?

Yeah I have problem is I have a Mac. It's mostly all about PC to gain root. I'll try to borrow someone I knows PC or go to a Internet Cafe.
[T-Mobile LG G3] OffDatGoGo:
Oh I see. That was going to be my next question. I guess, once you go Mac you never go back. LOL!

I'll try it tonight on my PC though.

[T-Mobile LG G3] vance74:
There's no official word yet on the LG G3, or LG G4 users in the rest of the world. Presumably, LG is using Poland as a testing ground for the software update, so the global release can proceed as smoothly as possible. Depending on how that goes, we could be waiting a few more weeks or months.

In November, LG made the Marshmallow update available to LG G4 owners in Korea, making the company's home nation the second in line to receive the update. Software was uploaded to LG's website, which enabled customers to apply the update via their computers.

T-Mobile lists the LG G3, LG G4 and LG G Stylo among those devices set to receive Android Marshmallow in the first wave of updates.

How To Root Lg G3?

I am looking for a phone that I can root and customize the way that I want. I was looking at getting an Lg G3 because it has a good camera and replaceable battery. I am on Consumer Cellular which uses the Att network so I was looking for a D850. I saw where Att locked the bootloader closing a lot of doors to rooting. The only option that I saw left open was using Kingoroot which may or may not be misusing IMEI's. What is the consensus, at this time, on rooting the Lg G3. Thank you.

Root Denied

Hi all,

I have a question regarding the ADB Boot method. Everytime i try to do a system boot through ADB, it doesn't go to the recovery. (ADB Reboot --bnr_recovery) It just boots back to the OS, doesn't give me an option to type the commands in the ADB window on command line. Could be that maybe the stock is updated to the newest. If so, is there an older version of stock i can use? Don't know what to do cause i want to root and install "twrp" on my T-Mobile D851.

Build Number: MRA58K

Software Version: D85130g

Also when trying on FASTBOOT; It indicates "waiting for device".

Anyways what i'm asking is are there any links to downgrade or tools to use that will allow me to get root-user permissions?

I would appreciate the help, cause i'm really at my wits end. :rolleyes:

And what version are you running? If it's a 30 series then you'll need to go down to KitKat if I'm not mistaken. That's how old this root method is. You could also read back a bit for other suggestions.

If you're on Marshmallow 30D there's a rooting thread for that. You could LGUP down to Lollipop and get temproot with King Root then Flashify TWRP maybe. Regardless, you need to include more info.
