Is there a working root for Marshmallow? How to install a previous android version? (I hate Lollypop and Marshmallow, i'd love to use KitKat) :)
[G3 Android Development] jodvova:
I have D855 updated to V10e. I'm trying to root using PurpleDrake. It all goes fine, temproot then permroot, but in the end the device is not rooted.

I can't install SuperSU (incompatible update) or edit /system/build.prop using ES file manager.

Any help please ?
[G3 Android Development] macfreaker:
I think , that you have to wait until developer makes a update/patch .
[G3 Android Development] jodvova:
Ah! I thought v10e is already supported by R03 version.
[G3 Android Development] stesmi:
I have a D855 OPEN and just updated to v10e and using PurpleDrake-Lite R03 worked for me.

After installing SuperSU root works .. always. I don't get a SuperSU-prompt however which worries me a bit, titanium backup/rom manager work fine. As does Android Terminal Emulator, enter "su" and I don't get a prompt but root works.

// Stefan
[G3 Android Development] jodvova:
I did a factory reset and after that was able to root with R03.

Before that it just didn't work.
[G3 Android Development] taxick:
Hi.

I did a factory reset and it worked. now im running V10e on my I have D855

Thx
[G3 Android Development] stesmi:
I figured out what I had done wrong. I installed SuperSU Pro and not SuperSU.. Pro is just a license file .. I bought it ages ago.

[G3 Android Development] suljo94:
when you enable usb debugging and plug in you phone into the pc a pop-up should appear asking you if you allow your pc to dubug your phone

I may have help for some who are running linux and get the endless "Waiting for device..." I'm running Ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit, and already have adb installed. I had this problem, and finally fixed it by going into assets/linux64 and renaming adb to something else. then I made a symbolic link to my already-installed version of adb, and that got me through to "Found device!"

[G3 Android Development] TangerineTractor:
I had a problem with a dodgy N rom that corrupted my recovery and lost root.

Couldn;t get any of the usual tools to work, or purpledrake from PC. I thought my phone was stuck in a dodgy N build wioth no root and no way of reflashing, until I eventually found an app called Kingoroot (note, not kingroot). The App didn't work on the phone, but running the exe from the PC with the phone conencted and ADB enabled applied root and its own custome SU, enabling me to use autorec to reflash recovery. I now keep a twrp image, kingoroot.exe, LG usb drivers and autorec apk on my sd card, just in case.

LFINO Solution

In my LFino this script just be able to temproot the phone and cannot get permaroot..

The second problem is that I can't mount the sdcard, tried many different options that were in forums but none results..

I've to manually push the files to temp folder and dd from that folder instead sdcard

Here it's what I did:

1- Run the specific purpledrake script for your OS

2- When the script told you that has temproot your device just close the script without trying permaroot, but do not turn phone off

3- Open a terminal and go to the path where you have the 2 files (TWRP recovery.img and aboot.bin)

4- Push the files

adb push aboot.bin /temp

adb push recovery.img /temp

5- Run this commands

adb shell (a $ will appears after run the following comand)

/temp/fakesu (a # will appears it means you're running with SU rights)

dd if=/temp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

dd if=/temp/hidden/aboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6

adb reboot recovery

now you've installed the TWRP Recovery and you can put roms on device, keep in mind if you boot the phone in normal mode after doing this there's a possibility of your TWRP recovery get's swapped by the OEM recovery (OTA updates??)).

if you pay attention to all the passes you'll notice that I wrote on the second dd command /temp/hidden/aboot.bin instead /temp/aboot.bin, that happens because when I list the files on my phone after push them I saw that the aboot.bin gets pushed to a folder called hidden inside /temp, check if in yours happens the same.

keep in mind I'm not responsible for this, this is just an help for those who can't get permaroot with script, a simple letter or space in the last commands can brick your phone.

do you have tried purpledrake? if it temproots your phone you can just change the recovery and bootloader partitions as I did.

I was finally able to root the phone. I had to use a bumped rom first, I think it was purple's 4.4 version? I don't remember exactly. After the bumped rom. I was able to load a bumped recovery and then load twrp and then use the latest cracked rom. After all that I had to use the software to unlock the wind bands. I have been sailing since then. See Henry's blog here. I will look around either this week or next week and see if I can find all the steps I took.

Hi, I'm currently using a newly bought F460S from a seller in Manila, I was able to root it using purple drake after getting all the necessary OTA updates in KK. I was wondering if this method of rooting and kitkat would make it a permaroot that I can just grab the official LP rom and still retain root? Also, is there a way to install custom recovery in KK or LP , I've tried searching but it's only for f400 unfortunately. Any feedback would be appreciated!
