Otherwise, uninstall any lg devices in device manager and remove the LG drivers.

I am a noob to forums but not all that new to rooting. I followed the method but when i get to send command it does nothing. When I saw the last couple posts I thought I would try sendcommand a few times to no avail. Is there a long time to wait for the commands to happen? I am so lost right now. I see you guys getting Tribute rooted but I can't get it ARRRRGH!!

I've tried this on my phone (D857 using 20b Lollipop 5.0.1) and it didn't work.

I could connect using Send_Command and executing ls did display the files. However executing the script was not possible, in fact any kind of access to /data/local/tmp was impossible.

If anyone has any suggestion, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

fastboot devices command show that the device is recognized, but any other fasboot command that I try fails...

fastboot boot boot.img (this boot.img is the original boot image which I dd from the device with some changes on ramdisk)

downloading 'boot.img'...

LG D850 Not Recognized in Download Mode

OK so I am trying the new root method and was able to push all files to my device. However, when I put my device into download mode and checked to see what port the device was on I got an error message: ">reg query HKLM\hardware\devicemap\SERIALCOMM 'reg' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." I then went to the original command prompt and punched in "adb.exe devices" and had no results. I went to my Device Manager and discovered that I had "Error 10: Device Could Not Start". I uninstalled and re installed the drivers, rebooted my phone into download mode, double checked that USB Debugging was active and that the phone was MTP data transfer. Manually reinstalled drivers and nothing seems to fix the issue.....I appreciate any help that is given :)

root question

Hi I just recently got the lg g3 Tmobile and was wondering if this root method would work for my phone

Model: LG-D851

Android Version: 4.4.2

Many thanks.

Also I've rooted two, or three low to mid end phones. This is my 1st high end device on android anyway. That said if anyone could explain, or point me in the rigt direction for rom's custom, recoveries, and how to flash them that would be great. As filtering through all the info for a newb such as myself can be a bit of a daunting task. Also is factory reseting after root safe as long as you revert any changes made to the phone with root? Or is it just better to flash the stock rom, and start from scratch? Sorry for all the questions. Just want to get a feel for what to & not to do.

Once again many thanks.
