I do seem to have a problem getting this done on the G3

Details:

- Win 8.1 Pro x64

- USB 2.0 ports used

- G3 @ LRX21R.a1421650137/V20-EUR-XX

I don't know if I need to unlock the bootrom (iirc like on the htc one)

Done:

- uninstalled all previous drivers via configurationscreen AND through system management (also used hidden devices option and removed those)

- reinstalled using the drivers, mentioned in the OP.

- hard reset

- MTP on

- USB debugging enabled

- OK'd my PC for USB-debugging (tried revoking, re-authorize)

- Screen off after 15 mins.

- tried suggestions here including:

* PTP/MTP switch

* USB Tethering

* Connect phone while running purple drake on "waiting for device"

Tried myself:

- emptied temp dirs

- tried using safe mode

- found a still loading HTC ADB .sys driver, removed with autoruns-tool by MS

As you can tell, I'm at a loss right now :)

Because, after all this I'm still "waiting" everytime I try XD

You could try to educate yourself and save yourself a lot of time next time.

Because you cannot root Lollipop just like that...please do the needful and read some pages back;)

[G3 Android Development] Gustavoca1:
Noob here

Im about to buy an LG G3 D855...

So for this to work i should root my phone right away while i still have kitkat, else i will have to donwgrade it...

I have one question tho...

after i root it and get TWRP working, if i install a Lollipop custom ROM, will i lose root?.

Thanks!
[G3 Android Development] B@sti:
What you've written is completely correct.

No, you don't lose root access. You just have to pay attention if SuperSU is included in the desired ROM or if you have to flash it manually after flashing a ROM.
[G3 Android Development] ziarkas:
Hey, I have been trying rooting my LG G3 s (or mini) with PurpleDrake, and have successfully followed all steps, but i cant get past one.

After I double-click the "purpledrake_windows" it opens but automatically closes, so I can't really do anything.

I've tried both "purpledrake_windows" and "._purpledrake_windows" in case there was something misspelled at the guidance but still, no progress.

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. What should I do?
[G3 Android Development] zachdroid:
Anyone have any luck with this method on the vs985 12b? Been searching for a root methods but coming up short.
[G3 Android Development] Louis235:
I had the same problem. It helped me to open purpledrake windows just by double tapping instead of opening as admin. Then you should confirm the message on your G3. Afterwards I had to disconnect and directly reconnect my G3 to PC, because purpledrake didn't go on. After reconnecting I just had to follow the instructions on PC by pressing enter (2 or 3 times).

So it was at least in my case. Hope if works for you, too.

Good luck, mate☺

Edit: didn't see that you have G3 s Mine is a G3. Don't really know about the G3s.....

Hey so for folks having issues with

Windows and using Winzip

to unarchive - there was a reference earlier in the thread that helped me but now I can't find it again. Basically Winzip is screwing up somehow - permissions or folder structure not sure but something. I was getting the quick CMD window pop up that just immediately closed, etc. I down loaded 7zip and used it to open the .gz and .tar files and was then able to execute the batch file successfully and my gpad v410 is now rooted. Hope this helps someone else and thanks for the tool!

You can use Lollipop root method now:

But if he wants to get a custom recovery running to flash roms he won't be able to do it.
[G3 Android Development] zedomax:
Damn i noticed that, I am still waiting for lolli on my tmobile g3.
[G3 Android Development] B@sti:
He needs a bumped rom/boot.img to do that and OTA stock roms aren't bumped.

He/All should prefer to put a little bit more effort in it. At least until there is a way to bypass this problem.

1. Downgrade to KitKat (FlashTool + KDZ)

2. Root with Purple Drake Lite

3. Install SuperSU from Play Store

4. Install Flashify from Store also.

5. Download TWRP here or on their website

6. Flash the img with flashify

7. Flash whatever Lollipop STOCK/Custom ROM you want

And you're safe to do whatever you want to do with your phone in the future without

seeing any secure boot errors because something doesn't have the bump signature.

--------------------------

Actually just saw this.

Have a look at it, maybe it works for you without doing the steps above.

Purple Drake only supports KitKat for getting root access. You have to downgrade. Check three posts above yours dude.
[G3 Android Development] yankees45us:
ok. I updated my tmobile g3 to latest update. It is now on android 4.4.2 running software version d85110r. I thought that purpledrake still worked for this version.

Hy there.

I have an lg g3 european version.

So i cheched the google docs spreadsheet and see D855 - 10A/B/C (Europe), D855 - 10E/F/G/I, D855 - 10L/M.

When i check in my phone i see d855 v20h-eur-xx .

So what versions is this ?

I want to root my phone and im a little confused with these versions.
[G3 Android Development] B@sti:
Read the last 3-4 pages. Seriously.

20h is not supported. On the current page is everything you need to know for downgrading and rooting.

I won't help you any further.
[G3 Android Development] yankees45us:
Is their anyway to root with just root without installing twrp? I never install custom recovery. I just need root for certain apps and apps ops. Thanks
[G3 Android Development] B@sti:
Yep, there is a root method for Lollipop roms which does nothing but giving you root access. It's on android original development section if i'm right.

I hope you know what you're doing because if you're debloating the stock rom and it starts giving you system-ui FCs you're screwed. Then you have to recover your device via adb.
[G3 Android Development] vcurbel:
I do not think w/ D851on 10R. You can install factory recovery.img back after you are rooted...either with adb commands or a twrp recovery.zip
[G3 Android Development] yankees45us:

I think that you should ask this somewhere else.....right?

/LG-G3/d-855/16Gb/Titanium Black/
[G3 Android Development] meylodie:
The thread you are talking about is related to the D-855 LG, which I suppose is the more expensive phone, the LG G3. So that place would be irrelevant as well. Do you have any better idea?
[G3 Android Development] B@sti:
He is right. The LG G3 S has nothing to do with the D85X device tree IMO. Isn't that the "Mini" version of the G3? Whatever, this thread is no rom thread so you should look somewhere else.
[G3 Android Development] meylodie:
Hi,

The "LG G3 S" is indeed the "Mini" version of the G3 (5" and much less expensive). There is no such thing as a ROM thread for the D722. I fear there is no ROM at all for it, which might explain there is no thread.

There *nowhere* in these forums to ask about "when" and "who" will create one. Could someone create such a thread?

Best regards,

Mélodie

(Some D855 are shows like this LINK) there are others shown Otherwise?

in DM, it dosn't show like in G2? LINK (There this was the "FIX")

Can anyone please upload and exmple for "root flag" in G3?

Anyway flshing STOCK KDZ (NOT TOT) with CES WIPE will remove the root flag or not? (It has to be TOT?)

Becuase if the root flash dosn't show at all there at G3 for everone ? (Other wise why in to #2 after OP said to reset flag )

If it dosn't there is no need to do TOT...
[G3 Android Development] akaHardison:
I don't know what is like if you used kdz to flash your phone.D850 don't have kdz files:(.But if you use tot,no rooted flag will show up in download mode.And if you want to check whether you were rooted.You have to go into hidden menu to find LG RCT or use jtag or pick the emmc off your phone.So LG RCT just a **** for me:).I don't know whether other g3 is the same.
