[T-Mobile LG G3] JeauxAdam:
Ok so I am using Linux Mint 17 and followed your instructions regarding symlinking adb but I am running in to some difficulty you may be able to shed some light on. Adb has been working fine for me when using my Nexus 5 (need to flash those new factory images!) and I can verify it can detect my wife's D851 when I open a terminal and type "adb devices" and even the script is able to detect the device in the first step and tell me the device name, carrier and software version. However in the next step after it reboots the device into the weird download mode it just hangs "waiting for device" forever until I unplug it, take out the battery and reboot it. Any thoughts?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Starfire-1:
Just checking - when you run Purpledrake-lite, it will see your device and then move forward to see if it can perform a temproot (and deposit /temp/fakesu). It's at this point that you Ctl-C the script and finish the process manually with adb. Purpledrake-lite should not get to the point where it reboots the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G3] JeauxAdam:
Wow, I feel dumb. Ok I did that but now I am unable to get it to make the /temp/fakesu in the shell command. I don't believe I am missing any steps...
[T-Mobile LG G3] Starfire-1:
I don't know if I can help you there (as I'm not too familiar with Purpledrake-lite). At least for me, when I ran PDL the first (and only) time, it provided the "positive" feedback that it could indeed create a temproot and I'm assuming at this point it deposited the /temp/fakesu executable.

Before I "adb shell"-ed, I pushed over the recovery.img once to /temp/recovery.img, then shelled in. Although I could see the /temp/fakesu, recovery.img was not there. So I popped back out and repeatedly pushed the recovery back to /temp, and the second time in, it was there. Weird. Then I finished the procedure as written.

If you are not seeing /temp/fakeroot after PDL claims that it can execute the temproot, it *may* be due to the failed attempt at a permanent root the first time that you went through. I would suggest looking at the PDL output very closely to see if it seems "positive" w.r.t. the temproot. You might also try to rerun PDL up to the Ctl-C break point a couple of times, checking via adb to see if fakesu is really there (kind of like the multiple recovery pushes)
[T-Mobile LG G3] JeauxAdam:
I think that's the problem. It isn't giving me any indication that temp root has worked. I wonder if it has to do with, for whatever reason, requiring superuser on my computer to actually see the phone via adb.

If I just type "adb devices" after ending the script it'll show something like "?????????? no permissions" but with prefixing sudo to that command it'll show up as "LGD851 recovery."

I may have to give up and find a windows machine and either try this again out downgrade to an earlier version and root that.

Thanks for your assistance!

[T-Mobile LG G3] Starfire-1:
I generally use adb as root - so the behavior that you described is normal in my experience. A couple of more possibilities - try to run PDL as root (sudo su -). Also, I don't think the /temp directory is a "standard" android directory and it seemed to have disappeared after I finished the rooting process and booted into recovery. If the /temp directory is still hanging around, perhaps PDL thinks that it is already temproot-ed and it doesn't to it again (?). That's a complete WAG but if you can delete the /temp directory and try it again, it might have different results.

Unroot?

Thank you for finding a way to root 110r. I have a few questions if you could kindly answer for me as I'm very new to rooting.

I used stump root on my LG G3 before and it went to boot loop after the new update. Any idea how to fix that?

I have another device that I want to root. If I use this method on that device (LG G3) to root, is it possible to unroot without problems ?

What's the difference between permaroot and ADB? and what are the advantages of ADB over permaroot.

Thanks !

How to unroot back to factory default settings

The rooting method worked great. I want to get the phone unrooted so I can send it back to the carrier. I selected full unroot on superuser. Then, I did a factory reset. Everything seems to be ok but it takes me to TEAMWIN blue screen. How do I get the phone back original D85110r factory state. Please help, thank you very much !!!
[T-Mobile LG G3] acefsw:
Try following the instructions in the link. Use TWRP method, full wipe, just don't root it.

"Download your preferred choice of D851xxx-Untouched_Stock_Restore.zip HERE (Perfect 1:1 image unlike most roms)

Also download and copy superSu to your external sd if you want root SUPERSU DOWNLOAD (only needed for 10R or above)

Copy D851xxx-Untouched_Stock_Restore.zip to phone (external sd if available)

Reboot into twrp

For firmware update do not wipe! skip to step 8. If you want untouched stock continue with step 4.

Click [Wipe]

Click [Advanced Wipe] (For full wipe stock restore only)

Select dalvik cache, system, Data, Internal storage (only if you use external for downloaded file) and cache

Click the home Icon in the bottom left

Click [Install]

Select D851xxx-Untouched_Stock_Restore.zip (make sure you select the proper sd card)

If you want root on 10R or above add UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.37.zip to the queue by touching [Add More Zips]. 10C and 10M can use the twrp prompt to install super su.

Swipe to install [====>]

Install will now begin, pure stock: system, kernel, recovery, modem and rpm will be installed

After completion click [wipe cache/dalvik] (do not skip especially if you dirty flashed)

Swipe to wipe [====>]

Click [back]

Click [reboot system] (it might say no os but it is wrong you do have a os click restart anyway) [dirty flash will not have that problem]

DO NOT INSTALL ROOT UNLESS YOU WANT IT TO BE ROOTED

If you did a dirty flash to update you need to reinstall twrp! (goo manager or twrp manager from the play store is the easiest way)"

OTA updates with this root method?

Hi all. First, thank you to [MENTION=3121337]vcurbel[/MENTION] for this dummy-proof guide! Really helpful! I have one question that I did not see mentioned in this thread. Is this method OTA resistant? Do I need to worry about any updates un-rooting or causing any other headaches?

Thank you again! :good:
[T-Mobile LG G3] acefsw:
I think OTA will break root--I read some posts that the 10r update broke root and that to successfully update you need to dirty flash the update in order to keep rooted
[T-Mobile LG G3] ShermCraig:
I also recall seeing that in another thread, but was hoping that it might have been specific to a different root method or ROM. If anyone else has insight....
[T-Mobile LG G3] chaos2myst:
Worked like a charm.

Thanks for the very concise instructions. Took about 3 minutes to root total.
[T-Mobile LG G3] blahblah1227:
Is there a way to root version 10r but keep stock recovery? I read and searched around and didn't find anythin on this.
[T-Mobile LG G3] vcurbel:
You will have to root first thru this method...them install stock recovery.....ull need to search around to find a stock recovery zip flashable on twrp

[T-Mobile LG G3] blahblah1227:
I wasn't able to get past step 7 unless the factory recovery screen is that screen with the red no hand sign? I thought that was an error or something. I rooted this lg g3 before this update but this seems a bit different.
[T-Mobile LG G3] vcurbel:
If i understood you correct...it seems that you have a rooted phone with stock recovery...isnt it? Then you took the 10r ota and you got boot loop. It seems to me that for some reason you soft bricked your phone. ....isnt it?

I rooted with stock recovery before OTA 10r, yes. I installed the OTA 10r, yes. Boot loop, no. Everything works fine.

When i run purple drake and after i push enter to restart the phone into recovery, instead of going into recovery it gives me this red no hand sign behind that sign is a picture with 2 usb cables and a phone. Then i have to pull out the battery since i cant do anythin on that screen.
[T-Mobile LG G3] vcurbel:
Did you install the 10r zip on recovery or did you take the ota?

Have you tried to install super su from the play store? And try a root checker

Is it posible that you just need to install twrp manager from play store...install twrp or use flashify to install twrp recovery img....then install the chainfire supersu.zip
[T-Mobile LG G3] dropped_71chevy:
I'm running into the same issue. My phone was never rooted, it's only a couple of days old. My assumption is that after getting temproot with PDL and then typing CTRL+C, the phone should reboot into recovery but mine stays on the screen with 2 cables and red no hand sign as well. I get a negative "Is /temp" if I continue.
[T-Mobile LG G3] vcurbel:
Just continue to step 8 adb...once you got download mode on step 7...then step 9 pushing the custom recovery image

Hey Guys I just got my G3 (Yes I am happy)

I was looking a way to root it and this seems the best and fastest way

I thank you so much to whoever posted

But I followed all the steps

I ran purple drakes Lt

I worked and I exited (CTL + C )

And that's when I get stuck with the #12 command "Is /temp"

But it tells me its not found

But I have a feeling I'm doing something bad

Cause I have to move the super user zip to the SD_Card folder

But I don't have one or I didn't make one

That's what I'm asking if I had to make a folder named "SD Card"

Or just inside my phone memory that's all it matters

Please any help is welcomed I just want to root my G3

Thanks a million in advance

Edited : hey guys I just got back from a quick break and I did something I seen in some post "Copy and paste" and it worked will with the command Is /temp

Thanks a million again and have a great day guys
[T-Mobile LG G3] iBowToAndroid:
For those having the issue where PD hangs on the 2nd step, I believe it's an adb issue.

I solved it by opening an adb command using the ADB_LOCAL_Ready folder, doing "adb devices" a couple times. That basically kills the adb that PD is running and forces it to reload. You could also try replacing the PD adb files with the adb files from ADB_LOCAL_READY
[T-Mobile LG G3] blahblah1227:
I don't understand why I'm having so many problems with this thing haha.. The phone hates me.

Ok i get to step 11, when I type "/temp/fakesu" it says "/system/bin/sh: /temp/fakesu: not found"

I would like to point out that I did copy and paste every command line.
[T-Mobile LG G3] vcurbel:
If you are already on adb shell $....just enter /temp/fakesu

If it does not put you in su command #.....then you need to go back and run purpledrake lite again

Im about to do a script for newbies....the only problem is that i use my phone everyday and i need to a full back up and unroot it to test the script....and my time is limited
[T-Mobile LG G3] blahblah1227:

You might be able to flash a stock recovery zip or img. But since LGs have the root checker in Download mode, I think you'll need to KDZ or tot back to stock

I took the OTA on stock, rooted, no TWRP recovery installed. The OTA will let you download and "install" with custom recovery, hence why people are boot looping and (mostly) soft bricking today.

How to root LG G3 D851 with MM 6.0 or install TWRP or Install Custom Rom like MIUI 8

So i got into Clash Of Clans and i refuse to spend actual money. So i have been waiting days and days until i can do something, anything, again. It got me thinking about the people that actually do spend money on play and wait and freemium games and i came up with a great idea for an app:

A red button. That is all. You can press it and see what happens, but it will cost you .99$

After you press it and see what happens, you can do it all again, but you have to wait. Or... you can pay to skip the wait!

i don't know about you guys, but i think an app like this would actually bring in a lot of money. i haven't thought of what the button would actually do, but it would be at random:

Hi guys,

last week I've successfully and happily flashed the SA Leaf's ROM and everything works fine and slightly faster! :D (

thanks for all: ROM, instructions, wiki...!

).

I've also installed the lastest Windows Live! Messenger available here on the ftp and I've found a single annoying issue: :(

# I've configured my Provider's data connection settings (GPRS, 3G) in the Network Management screen as the profile to be automatically used by applications who need to connect to the Internet.

# When I was using Pocket MSN: if I was already connected via WiFi to any Internet AP, Pocket MSN did use that connection; otherwise it dialed GPRS/3G as you *should have expeted*...

# Now that I'm using Windows Live! Messenger, it ALWAYS try to use the GPRS/3G connection, regardless of my currently active WiFi connection.

If I cancel the GPRS/3G connection, Windows Live! Messenger then starts using WiFi... :confused:

Anyone has any idea on how to fix that?

Why can't Windows Live! Messenger use the currently active connection?

Is that a matter of any registry key?

Any fix already available?

Ideas are welcomed...:D

Ok my poor tab pro 8.4 lte t325 got destroyed :( ( you know dog and kids= dead tablet) Wrong time to have left my tablet on the floor so I guess its really my fault.

Anyways I am in the market for a new tablet. I LOVED the tab pro 8.4 but don't want to buy another one as it is going to be left behind as it was replaced by the tab s. I want another tablet with cell connectivity and don't know if I should by the tab s or wait for a version 2 of it. I was hoping for a tab s with a snapdragon in it but I only get Verizon and at&t where I live. (Well at&t if I have the tablet in one part of my house)

I see that sprint is the only 8.4 with a snapdragon processor where the at&t has the samsung processor.

The snapdragon in my t325 was much more responsive than the samsung processor in the wifi tab s when i tested both side by side.

I had a at&t sim in my tab pro. Will say the Sprint version run on at&t? Does it have the antenna for it?

Now if a version 2 of the tab s is going to be out soon should I wait to see what its going to offer?

I am using my sons tab 3 10.1 for my tablet purposes (its painfully slow and doesn't connect to my samsung dongle for my tv) my daughter won't let me use her note 8:(

Any insite or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
I don't know why people keep going on about the Exynos versions of the device compared to the snapdragon. I have the Lte Exynos version and it performs admirably. No perceivable lag, nothing that I wouldn't expect on any device.

I have an HTC M8 with Snapdragon 801, which in my mind is well overspec'd anyway, and it performs well against it it in my tests and isn't far behind it.

In any of the benchmark tests I've done (yes I know benchmarks aren't the be all and end all ) the cpu still ranks high up with the best cpu's.

The other thing is that the Snapdragon version has virtually no 3rd party support, no roms, no root, etc. Whereas the Exynos tab has plenty.

What's more fragile about it?

Normally my tablets are very well taken care of. My last one was more of a freak accident. Just really bad timing and judgment on my part.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Its more expensive to replace then an regular tablet. For example one hard drop can cause the screen to break completely. Its because we have an amoled screen which could break easy. But this tablet is great for watching videos in my opinion. Up to you. If you are careful then the tab s should do it for you. Its a big step up from the tab pro. Once you see the screen its just amazing! Ive had mine since july and no problems so far. If you want a better screen and performance then the tab s is a step up from the pro. Keep in mind its really thin also. Hope this helps

I agree, what's fragile, what do you intend to do with it, strap it to the bottom of your shoes? Look after it properly and use it as you should and there will be no problem. No device is meant to be dropped, same as don't crash your car and it won't get smashed up.
