Just for my LG g3 and are looking to root and get custom recovery for backups. I'm on 10A (an 855 European). I'm looking for to land at the latest kitkat version with root. As I understand it I shouldn't ota to latest version, but rather root first, install recovery and then update to latest version through recovery and here is the question:

- Did I underhand this correctly and:

- Where do I get the latest stock version to flash that is safe? I did find the LG rom from iemi link, but are those files ready to flash safely or do they need processing somehow? A little more detail in updating would be great!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeneticFusion:
i NEED help right now. My phone is stuck in a boot loop and I cant get into recovery mode. So I installed the drivers for it, changed it to COM41, tried flashing it through LGFlashTool with the dll and stock rom, everything shows ready for the COM41 box and everything else is disabled, but i unplug and plug it back in and it wont do anything it just sits there doing nothing.

So I tried the KDZ method, no go, stops at 3%. So what do I do? I know there HAVE to be fixes out there and I know I'm not the only one thats had this problems, but I cant for the life of me find a definitive fix thats cut and dry.

Hey, just update with ota to latest version and then root and install custom recovery. I done it yesterday. I had to do about 4 or 5 ota updates to get from v10a to v10m which i think is latest kitkat version ( next ota is v20, lollipop). You can root using the purpledrake method ill post the link. Or you can just stay on v10a and then you can root using towelroot which is the easiest way to root just go to the link click on the red symbol and download the apk then install it, when done open and click make it rain.

Its not unsafe to do it the ota way its no different. If you root and then flash a new firmware you will lose root anyway and have to root again. So update firmware then root

I've lost root?!? What do I do? No access to computer

Okay, I don't have access to a computer.

I had previously perma-rooted my phone with purple drake. I had installed SuperSU and SuperSU Elite..

Things had been working great. Root access, no fuss or muss.

Just before bed, I plugged my phone into it's SLIMPORT charger (which I had done previously without problem)... the phone kept on reloading the lock screen when i touched it with a message that System UI had crashed.

I have somehow lost my superuser binaries and have lost root.

Is there an easy fix? Or do I have to wait a week until I have access to a computer again to reroot?

Help please!

UPDATE: Nevermind. I did lose Superuser binaries somehow. I downloaded an updated set from this article...

http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-fix-missing-or-lost-root-access-issue-on-android/

and then flashed in TWRP. Let me tell you, it was a white knuckle experience. When you reboot via hardware buttons, it didn't go straight to recovery like I'm used to seeing. Instead, it came to a hard reset prompt that states it will erase everything. You have to choose "yes"and hope that your recovery wasn't borked like your superuser binaries.

After I tentatively tapped YES to the hard reset, the familiar load screen of TWRP came up. I flashed the new zip, rebooted... It was a LONG reboot. I immediately went into a root checker app that told me the system was running slowly. When I got it running, it said that there was no root access.

I went back into my SuperSU app to see if there were any changes. Lo and behold! It listed the root checking app as wanting root permissions. I granted the permission, went back to the Root checking app... and I"m back in root!!!!! Woo Hoo!

I went back into SuperSU (I have the Elite version purchased) and did a clean up and just now, a reboot.

Just verified via Titanium Backup. I have ROOT! The phone system is back to its speedy self.

Any idea on how I lost root to begin with? I'd like to avoid it again if possible.

LG G3 is warming up

Hi

When I play a game (Castle Clash), my G3 is becoming very very hot. I wonder if there is a possibility to reduce the frequency of CPU and/or GPU :

-manually, when I dont need all the CPU Power

-or if I can set the CPU frequency lower for some apps

-or if there are other solutions for stopping the heating of my G3... (I'm running stock Lolipop)

Interesting is that when I'm playing Castle Clash on my old Galaxy S2, I dont have that heating problem, and the game is very playable on S2 too. So, why use full CPU Power of G3 if the game is more than playable with only dualcore at 1.2 GHz on the S2.

This is why I'm searching for a solution to reduce CPU Power on G3. Any ideas?

Is it possible to root and install custom rom on the G3 without trigger any knox or likewize?

From what I understand the kernal och bootloader are open, does this mean that when LG stops supporting the modell will it still be possible to create custom roms based on newer Android version then the last one LG gave out(Maybe lollipop)?

Is it true that the deafault launcher is a bit laggy? I tried it in the store and it fellt vary laggy compare to Nexus 5? But it might have been on an older version.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
Would not know. You should ask some of the developers or so.

1. Yes. G3 does not have that kind of security like Samsung.

2. It could be still be possible, but only AOSP roms I believe. Doubt the porting from some other LG device would be easy.
