Firstly thank you very much it works!

LG G3 D855 V10j: this is the one sold by Optus Australia which is the international version.

Here are the simple step by step instructions for Windows 7 for noobs like my self:

1) Install LG drivers.

2) Activate debug mode in the phone settings --> developer options.

2) Connect the phone through the usb cable to the computer, in the usb options choose PTP.

3) Run purpledrake_windows.

4) The program will detect your device, instructions are very clear and simple, just let it do the job.

5) The phone will restart two times, root done!

As a noob I struggled to understand the instructions from the first web page, when I read "ADB" and "PTP"!

But the whole process is just so simple!

Thanks very much!

Hi,

Having an issue with the LG Gpad 7 (LG-V410) ATT LTE version.

The script recognizes the tablet fine, does the temp root then reboots, then goes through the process and at the end the tablet reboots and the purple drake window just closes (too fast, can't see if there is any error messages displayed)

SuperSU (from chainfire, google play store) says not root binary installed so I'm guessing root has failed.

Not sure what to do from here.

Not my first attempt at rooting, but first time I've had an issue. Been rooting phones since the HTC Hero days.

[G3 Android Development] poor_red_neck:
This utility works on other phones/tablets not just the G3. Purple drake works just fine for the GPad tablets. The issue is android must be on kitkat as the lollipop upgrade patched the vulnerability.

As a matter of fact most "how to root" threads for the Gpad link directly to this thread. So.... yeah.

Thanks though....

Hello dear developer:

Thanks a ton on the excellent job, I rooted my D855 (V10n-HKG-XX, Android 4.4.2) perfectly and used for a very long time.

Recently I want to flash KDZ and upgrade to Android 5.0. I planned to use LGFlashTool2014.exe and flash D855v21a.kdz 2 days later. Of course I will root my D855 after successful flashing. Since you didn't specify whether the purpledrake tool can root Android 5.0, I would like to know the answer.

Because if it can't root D855 (V21a-HKG-XX, Android 5.0), that's really sad and I have to infd another way... Your tools are great and I have no issues after rooting for so long. Please answer. Thank you!

I couldn't root with PurpleDrake or LG Root Script either when I wa on Lollipop. I managed to root by downgrading to KitKat, then rooting, then flashed TWRP and then a CustomRom with Lollipop or Marshmallo which already was rooted. Hope that helps.

I had trouble with PurpleDrake and ended up using KingRoot, which worked fine on both my LG G3 and my Galaxy i337 S4.
[G3 Android Development] tedrogers61:
In what way did you have trouble? I can't decide whether go root or not. I've heard that stock Marshmallow is available OTA for us G3'ers at the end of the month. If that happens, I won't need a custom ROM. If it doesn't happen, I'll be rooting but want the best way. I don't know if I trust rootkits anyway...in at home on bash terminal.
[G3 Android Development] LinuxSupahFly:
Trouble as in it didn't work. My LG is Fido and the Samsung is Telus. I rooted both and installed an ad-blocking HOSTS file then removed some of the bloatware that comes standard on phones these days. If you have the chance to root, I say take it.

It seems that PurpleDrake was the only one able to root my phone.

I used v20c (I think) on D722(not p), without any carriers, One-click root failed to root my phone, but PurpleDrake worked as a charm.

Now I'm using v20d and can't seem to root my phone.

I had to modify a little bit the main.sh script to get this message:

Does anyone know how could I root my phone (without downgrading)?

[G3 Android Development] Jwrath:
PurpleDrake's method came successful where Avicohh and Kingroot failed. The entire procedure went really fast and the windows closed before I see any "root complete" on my screen, but Root Check confirmed that my phone is indeed rooted.

Problem is that Kingroot seems to have stuck in my system and I can't get it out. I went to the apps and uninstalled it, but there it was again even after a factory reset.

I've downloaded SuperSU from Google Play but it said something about a binary update, that there is another root program that prevents it from being updated and that I should uninstall it in order to proceed.

Is Kingroot the one that conflicts with it, or PurpleDrake?

If I press uninstall will that erase PurpleDrake and unroot my phone?

How can I keep SuperSU to my system even after a factory reset?

D855 (V21A-222-10):can't root on Linux!

Good evening everyone. I have a LG-D855 (android 5.0, v21a-222-10) and I am struggling with managing to root my phone on Linux (I have a Mint distro). Indeed, as far as I've seen, most of roots methods are operating only on Windows but I don't have any computer with that os, nore any of my acquaintances (good friends!) so I am cornered at the moment. Has anyone of you managed to root the phone on Linux using Purpledrake??Many thanks!
[G3 Android Development] meylodie:
Yes I have, using PurpleDrake Method, on LG G3s -Beat, D722) using Ubuntu. (Bento Openbox : my brand).

You need to install android-tools-adb into your distribution. You need to allow USB debug mode (in the advanced section of the parameters go to "About" I think) and forbid the device from closing the light (no energy saving mode). Get the latest PurpleDrake program. You might want to check that USB PTP mode is on.

Linux Instructions (in your console)

Extract the content or the PurpleDrake archive to your computer

Connect your G3 with the USB cable (phone on, home page, no app opened)

Configure the purple drake sh script as executable and invoke it! Follow instructions on the screen.

In the console once the archive extracted:

If you get the same error message as I did here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58182781&postcount=762
