I was not successful getting this to work on OS X. It looks like there is a driver missing that I was not able to find for OS X, because even with the device in PTP mode and with the "USB Debugging Active" icon in the notification tray after turning on developer mode and enabling ADB, it will not connect to ADB. Got it to work in Windows on the same machine after installing LG's driver for it.

Also, every time my phone reboots I see "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped." This doesn't seem to affect anything and only pops up when the phone starts.

For some reason, I can't see any attached files nor download section. Could someone upload a mirror of the file or something? :(
[G3 Android Development] teddy0209:
Link is in the OP, under "where do i get this?"
[G3 Android Development] Spectral1991:
Is it the .tar.gz file? It gives me a "This web page is unavailable" on chrome when I try to download it.

EDIT: Download link fixed. Could download, and rooted with V10g-SEA. THANKS!

As you all know there are a few "flagships" out there at the moment, and i had problem to select what i wanted so the store told me that i could take one and try for 2 weeks and if i wasnt happy i could return it without any problem.

So for me to test the phone 100% i need to root it, and as all of you know root = oh oh.

So before i start with rooting, will use PurpleDrake, I had to find a way to unroot and found this guide.

But there is a part in the unroot guide i don't get.

1. I did download http://downloads.codefi.re/wolfgart/LG_G3/D855/Europe_NoBrand_16GB/10E (as i have the swedish and the info on the phone says its 10E)

2. Then i did download MegaLock.dll showed in the guide and replaced it (as show'd in the guide)

3. Here comes my problem. What is the .dll and where do i find the one that works for me?

Thanks

Worked on 10E, D855, Euro version. I was on 10A, updated, then rooted... purpledrake_windows was waiting longer for device, I killed it, allowed again USB debugging and it worked flawlessly. THANK YOU SO MUCH !! :)

Just successfully rooted my brand new D852 (CAN).

Thanks, PurpleDrake team! :good:
[G3 Android Development] suljo94:
because our buildprop is bigger then most rootexplorers can 't save it so they drop the lines near the end which are responsible for Audio try finding a original buildprop edit that with notepad++ and use a rootexplorer to put it in the correct place with correct permissions.
[G3 Android Development] pessu90:
To say it looks easy but I am not able to anything I'm afraid to do some damage

Also working on the Canadian D852G model. Note that this model uses PTP similar to the verizon model.
[G3 Android Development] force70:
To those who have rooted the d852 models can you confirm that the bootloader is locked or not (can you use custom recovery is another way of asking).

I was told in the canadian g3 thread that it is, would just like a hands on yes or no from someone that has the device in hand.

Hey guys! Just rooted my G3, everything went smoothly. But I have one question regarding the EFS backup: I now have 2 .img fies with this backup, each of them is about 3 MB file but when I copied them to my external SD card to send them to dropbox, on my windows computer, they both have 0 MB?? I've lost EFS partition once on my SGS III and now I would like to have a fully working backup kept in the cloud so can anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong?
[G3 Android Development] GalaxyHeart:
Not quite sure how to check this.

It doesn't seem to be shown in the LG menu at 3845#*852#
[G3 Android Development] force70:
That's the problem no one seems to know that's willing to share anyway.

I was told hold power and vol up and when i got my hands on a non demo device today and tried every possible combo in the time i had and no go.

Would be nice if autoprime or thecubed or jcase could shed some light on this?

Locked BL is an absolute deal breaker for me so i have not purchased the device yet.

Sorry, ive found a similar thread at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2820018. So the situation:

1. Download PC Companion and pc companion tells me to update.

2. Download finished, and its asking me to hold back key and plug the usb simultaneously.

3. I know im supposed to wait the green led, but it doesnt stay on, it flashes about 0.1 sec then turns off.

4. It then showed SE logo and showed the battery charging.

5. Update Service also not working.

6. Flashtool: Not working.

7. I know that S1Boot driver is installed, because ive flashed a lot of phones over and over again, only this MT15i failed.

8. The phone is definitely UNROOTED and still on LOCKED. And i plan to let it stay that way until its been updated to stock ics .587.

How can i access flashmode / fastboot without pressing those keys?

No, adb not working.

And now, the phone seems stuck at that SE logo. Waiting for half an hour now, no reboot, just that logo.

Ive heard about the need to use OctopusBox, JTAG and the like, but i want to refrain from using them. (Paid service, not sure if it would work at all)

And where is the bootloader unlock talked about at the bounty thread or was it just a hoax?

Gesendet von meinem LG-D855
[T-Mobile LG G3] thecubed:
Hoax? What?

This pack is ONLY for the T-Mobile G3 which has an unlocked bootloader out of the box.

D855 support is NOT included in here. There will be a separate thread when we have an unlock for the bootloaders of the rest of the G3 family.
[T-Mobile LG G3] djkinetic:
There is no boot loader unlock..where ever you read this is misinformed...the T-Mobile variant ships boot loader unlocked, it is the only one so far to be shipping unlocked.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ratchetjaw:
Sweet
[T-Mobile LG G3] Tectas:
I'm aware of that and sry it wasn't meant offensive or to put this one down, autoprime, did imply at the bounty thread, that you as well managed to unlock the bootloader, at least at the beginning, that's what I'm referring to, sry that i said it the wrong way, was a bit disappointed, which for sure isn't your fault or the one of this tool, it's still great progress you made.

Success!

1. THANK YOU!

2. It didn't work the first time around, temproot worked but permaroot did not. Maybe it had to do with the fact that I was reading this forum while it was waiting for my input... I can't see how that would have made a difference but whatever. [[ Edit: It worked the second time running, I just followed the instructions immediately - no problems. /Edit ]]

3. Just a reminder for Linux users ... you have to add udev rules as described here: http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html ... and when you are done with that, also run:

$ sudo service udev restart; sudo killall -9 adb

4. My G3 would only connect to my laptop (Ubuntu 14.04) when it was in PTP mode. MTP or Charge Only did _NOT_ work... Only PTP.

5. THANK YOU AGAIN! You devs rock!

download the tmo .tot file and use lg flash to restore it to stock. itll format everything on internal sdcard so backup anything u may need off it.

unplug usb cable from phone. pull battery. put battery back in. press and hold volume up.. then plug the usb cable into phone while holding up.

you will boot into LG Download mode (LAF partition).

tmobile firmware can be found here. thanks to [MENTION=608699]wolfgart[/MENTION] for the files and [MENTION=1157052]thecubed[/MENTION] for codefire hosting.

there are directions around xda for restoring.. youre gonna need LG Flash 1.6 or higher.. a cracked megalock dll to bypass LG Flash activation.. then the tot file (in the zip in link above) along with the D851 lg flash .dll

[T-Mobile LG G3] dysfunkshun:
So I went through the manual windows cmd and everything seemed to go ok, but when it reboots it still says im not rooted. Supersu says no binary installed, tried uninstalling and reinstalling and same story. Thanks to all involved!
[T-Mobile LG G3] trebills:
You have to install the binaries using the normal method and then reboot. Should be good then
[T-Mobile LG G3] raw2000j:
Im confused this method is for windows Im new flashing this way so that kdz file what do I do with it I read adb how does that work?
[T-Mobile LG G3] dysfunkshun:
Whats the normal way? Only other way I've done it is through TWRP, which cant be installed til root
[T-Mobile LG G3] trebills:
After you install supersu through the play store and you open it up it should say binaries need to install. Click install and it should ask you how you want to install normal or twrp. Click normal. When it's done reboot. That's how i did it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] janitorjohnson:
SO I got it all rooted and installed xposed and G3 Tweaks and got that set up well. Then I tried changing the DPI with an app from play store and when I rebooted nothing loaded from the systemui. Just a head up to anyone that may be looking to change the DPI settings....beware. I had to restore back to an hour ago just after root...without customizations.
[T-Mobile LG G3] dysfunkshun:
Supersu opens, says "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" then all I can do is press ok and supersu closes, I have no other option to install binaries. I'm thinking something did not go through with the command prompt and root was not successfully pushed
[T-Mobile LG G3] hello00:
u have to becareful which app u use to change the dpi...either u do it by editing the build.prop or use rom toolbox from the play store..rom toolbox is one of the best tools app for android

Turns out, I'm a potato and mistyped something in the code. All is well and working as normal, again thank you all for your help!!

Do you have the Tmobile version? In that case you need follow the instructions to manually root in Windows again. If you need adb setup system wide on your Windows machine I used this http://d-h.st/asC It's really easy.

Did you just install SuperSU from the Play Store? I installed the flashable version via recovery and everything seems good thus far.

[T-Mobile LG G3] TheFuzz:
Worked on Windows 7!

This method worked for me, no issues. I had to run the first line twice. First tripped "something" not really sure. Then ran it again and it rebooted into fastboot. Then the rest worked no issues.

I installed "Superuser" from the app store, but I can not update the binaries. It goes to "download," then fails, then the app crashes. I confirmed I do have root, and I was successfully able to install TWRP using Flahshify. Made a backup and am back up and running. Apps such as Root Explorer do have root access so I am getting the effect of having Superuser but can not update. Any thoughts on why I can not update the binaries?

Tried that, no go. I am trying the downloaded .zip version now to see if it works.

Also, how do you check if your phone now shows as "rooted?" I remember there is a place in settings?

And, I have not heard anyone mention if you are on Dalvik or ART if there is any difference with the methods here? I'm not a dev!!! Just thought I would throw it out there because I have no idea!!!

I just switched from ART back to Dalvik, now the .ZIP version of Superuser seems to be working properly.

You may be right, but the app kept force closing. So, I switched to the download version. But, having said that, I think it had to do with being on ART instead of Dalvik.
[T-Mobile LG G3] gpgorbosjr:
Just wanted to clarify, will doing it manually complete all of root/recovery/etc or just root.
