I got there before I received your reply, but I appreciate your input.

After a lot of fooling around with lots of posts that said do this or that I was able to get it installed.

Restored to Stock Kit Kat with LGUP

Then setup the stock ROM and enabled USB Debugging

Then rooted using LG_One_Click_Root_v1.3

Then installed TWRP using ADB

Then using TWRP installed the custom ROM

Have a LG-D851, running stock Android 6.0, build MRA58K, ver D85130g. Purple drake does temp reboot, then says:

Do I need to factory reset to go to an older android version then root? Any known ROMS to recommend? I have Lineage 14 on 2 Samsung devices.

When the below member says, flash back to stock , he's saying back to kit Kat, then use this or stump, can be found here in the forum, find a tot or kdz file, also here in forums, and go to the earliest software release. The later ones are patched and are not vulnerable to the root method. Hope this clarifies some for you. You're on stock now, just the latest ver 6 it's non rootable, the 4.2 or 4.4? is what you're wanting to flash. Good luck.

Will this work with G3A F410S?
[G3 Android Development] IssacZachary:
I have a (dumb) question. (I'm new to this.)

I used the full version of Purple Drake to root my D851. Well I didn't check the TWRP version that came along with it and tried to install LineageOS. But I couldn't get it to work. I guess because I had TWRP v2.7 instead of the latest version (3.3) for the G3. Anyhow, I got the phone back to factory KitKat again and would like to attempt it again.

But would it be best to use the full version of Purple Drake and then upgrade TWRP to the newest version, or use another root?

Thank you!

[G3 Android Development] SnowFuhrer:
That exploit was probably ironed in later updates. I rooted my lg g3 by downgrading to an earlier version of lollipop, and rooted with kingoroot. (You could also try kingroot) I think that gives temporary root. Then I used the "downgrade bootloader to kitkat" app, and then I flashed magisk after.

Here is the app: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17F96jUM90cexXvRHVLq58miJVImzN7XG/view?usp=drivesdk
[G3 Android Development] dragonshuffle:
It's currently on 4.4.2 kitkat and not lollipop. Should I try downgrading to an earlier version of kitkat?
[G3 Android Development] SnowFuhrer:
Then you should be able to root with king root or so. T

Purple drake should have worked then though. But you will only get temp root I think unless you get twrp flashed and magisk or supersu flashed.
[G3 Android Development] dragonshuffle:
Yeah one would think right? Purple Drake was unfortunately not my first try though seemed to be the one that kind of focused on the hardware I was using. I've tried Kingroot, iroot, one click root, Kinguroot and a few others whose names escape me at this moment since I'm not currently at the computer. If they were available I've attempted both the app and PC versions of the software with the same results. Doing several attempts after restarting the device and doing a full factory reset of the device.
[G3 Android Development] SnowFuhrer:
Why ever? I've rooted on a few versions of lollipop. If it roots on lollipop, it should root on kitkat. Try upgrading/downgrading to a different version.
[G3 Android Development] marcdw:
[MENTION=230292]Dragonfly[/MENTION], the output you posted earlier says you're using a G Pad V410 tablet. Is that correct? I wasn't aware this G3 rooting method worked on anything else.

As far as Kingroot goes I remember certain versions working better than others for some reason. Version 4.x or other (4.5 or 4.6?) would work but later versions would not. My beloved G3 and daily driver has a failing screen so I can't check at the moment. Resides on its SD card.

Oh wait, the tools I used from the last time are up on Mega. I see Kingroot 4.1.x, 4.9.6, and 5.1.0. 4.9.6 may have been the one that temprooted easily. If you want to try one of the older ones...

The third tablet has a different android

version- 5.0.2

This "invulnerable" one has the newer style of navigation buttons, instead of the little house shaped home button, it shows the triangle, circle, and square key icons. (Both of the successfully rooted tablets had the older style nav buttons... I already installed Lineage 14 on one of them so I don't know for certain what it used to have.)

for the 5.0.2 Gpad, I got this output:

I'm not certain this device has been carrier unlocked so I've begun that process with AT&T. I'm not sure how to tell if it's locked but it's 100% bogged down in AT&T bloatware so I suspect so.

I Know it's an older device, but if you could assist in rooting it I'd really appreciate it. Towelroot does not support this device currently. I hope I've provided the requested info.

have you accepted pc on your phone?and did you instal the drivers(>>>LINK<<<)
[G3 Android Development] jodvova:
the 100% way to solve "waiting for device" problem is

1. make sure LG driver is installed.

2. be sure to enable usb debugging, connect the phone to the PC and accept the signature.

3. run manually "adb.exe devices" and check that you see the phone in the output

4. run purpledrake script and it will immediately find the device

OTA question

First, sorry for my English is not very good ..

I root my G3 a week ago with PurpleDrake tool and turned out perfect, then I disabled the OTA .. but now, I received a message on my phone to update the SW software (?) .. Should I do? I accept the upgrade or better not?

Thanks in advance. Juan
[G3 Android Development] dex.:
purpledrake does root this latest 10g on my D855 ADEUT 32gb. did need to reinstall 10e (non wipe data) before it would take the update though;( unroot was not enough and it started to update then failed with an error, leaving the phone unmodified). I was originally rooted with ioroot, so you might be ok with purpledrake (after uninstalling Xposed, Supersu, etc)

other threads suggest this 10g fixes intermittent shutdown issues. if so, then worth it.

Hi there,

what do we have to do to unroot the phone for installing the new firmware?

I couldn't update from v10e to v10g.
[G3 Android Development] dex.:
I used the "Upgrade Recovery" from the options menu in the LG Mobile Support Tool*to reinstall 10e.

I think it downloaded the kdz at 1.2gb then installs. needed to be in download mode (power off. press and hold power up button while connecting USB lead from computer. did not delete data (though can't guarantee the same for you... backup)

update to 10g. reroot with purpledrake, reinstall Xposed and Supersu, sd card needed rw fix again, remodded camera xml (though seems to not have taken 60fps settings from backed up xml, diag later when home ) though has retained dual window setting for all apps and other stuff in buildprop

Tmo G3 here. Just used the lite purple drake and it worked great! Thanks devs.

I went with the lite because i dont care to install a custom recovery. I saw that this has a root checker though that I assume I've now tripped by using the lite version.

What consequences does that have? OTA updates will fail?
