OK we take back everything since the beginning

If you are on 20P or 20G version you apply these solutions:

Download Link for Lollipop 20P:

Mega LGG3-D855-OneClickRootRecovery-V20P.zip

Dropbox LGG3-D855-OneClickRootRecovery-V20P.zip

md5 : a5f1776215dc6e9792e57efae400dcae

Download Link for Lollipop 20G:

Mega LGG3-D855-OneClickRootRecovery-V20G.zip

Dropbox LGG3-D855-OneClickRootRecovery-V20G.zip

md5 : 624a30b28037a6ed7023ea1f245c2aa8

These solutions

don't root

but

install TWRP Custom recovery

Well, after run the tool for your lollipop version (20P or 20G)

You apply this :

20P and 20G --> If you are not root having applied this tool, copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip on your SDCARD , restart on recovery mode and flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

You can go to recovery mode by buttons power + Vol-

and you flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and then your are root

Sorry for being a noob :)

I have a D855 32gb with TWRP v2.8.6.1 running latest Cyanogenmod. I have no clue what firmware version. How do i tell?

Is the any reason for me to try to get on a higher version firmware and how do i do it? Can i use TWRP?

Regards

Jacob
[G3 General] Mevolent:
Ever had issues finding your firmware/software version? Look no further! By following my easy 3 step guide, you'll be blurting out your software/firmware version as fast as a gullible person on Facebook gives out their name and address!

Serious talk now, though. In the third image, it should be V20x (x being your version). I'm still on KitKat though, have yet to make the lollipop jump due to no TWRP. Thanks to the OP, for making this useful tool! I'll make sure to use it later on today! ?

i was on 20P firmware and used this script. It was like everything worked, but then the prompt shell said to wait for reboot on recovery. My phone tuned off and never came back. Now no matter what button combination i use, it doesn't start anymore, no recovery, no download mode....just black screen. I tried to remove the battery and and put it inside again then plugged it on pc to go on download mode, but nothing happens.

Hey everyone,

I have a Spanish variant of the D855 model, with the software version V20s.

Hi, I previously followed this guide and it worked great - thanks.

Question though - is it ok to install the latest TWRP Bump (twrp-2.8.0.0_d855-signed.img for my LG G3 D855) from recovery using my current (what I assume is unBumped) TWRP (2.8.7.0) - and just reboot back into system ?

Will my currently installed OS (5.0 V20g-SEA-XX) and root continue to work as is ?

Note: what I am trying to do is prepare my device for the upcoming Bumped version of Android 6 and use Bumped versions from now on.
[G3 General] lala99:
hi all,

I searched here and googling, but I didn't find anything about rooting 20N (italian provider TIM).

My D855 was in 20H + root + TWRP and all was ok. Few days ago, I updated to 20N but 1-click root doesn't get root.

It seems the file batch does all steps ok ... and it finishes ok. But the smartphone, when in download mode, is not flashed .. flashing progression remains at 0.

Do you have any ideas ? other rooting ways?

Thanks in advance.

Can I root V21a use your script?

Hi dear jac10000, and others;

I would like to ask some suggestion. I have LG G3 D855, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB ROM; Lollipop Version: 5.0; Software Version: V21a-ESA-XX; Kernel Version: 3.4.0.

The phone was first tried to root and flash TWRP with Imageprep V 2.6; but was unsuccessful due to Imageprep's failure to capture COM ports and exiting itself. I then used '[GUIDE][ROOT] Newest Root Method for LG devices' by digital-bug (https://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197), which only offered rooting option, and succeeded in rooting. I then re-use Imageprep for downgrading aboot.img, and laf.img; and installing TWRP. The application said all such operations were successful (please refer to image attached); and sent command to reboot the phone into recovery, only to find that it was still stock recovery, not TWRP.

I am interested in experimenting with your script trying to downgrade boot.img, aboot.img laf.img, and flashing TWRP (or even try the manual way if the script does not succeed). However, since my phone is rooted Lollipop 21a, I'm not sure if it will be reasonably safe (i.e. the probability of unrecoverable hard bricking is reasonably low) since I observed that the 20H, 20P, and 20G each use different file (and there even is an additional and different kernel fix file for each 20P, and 20G), So, I would like to ask whether it is reasonably safe to use your method? And for 21a, which file(s) should be used? (V20H?, or V20P?, or V20G?; or I can tried each of them, using both the script method, and the manual method until hopefully succeeded?)

Thanks

Best Regards

[G3 General] lb357:
Hi Avi,

I tried rooting my LG G3 D852 (Canada) MM and was unable to until I downgraded to LP 5.0.1.

I found a Telus (I'm with Fido) stock KDZ on storagecow and applied it and I was able to root my phone.

Then I tried to install TWRP and as a part of the process, I read that I need to remove the laf.img file from my phone before I can install TWRP.

So I removed it and was never able to install TWRP on my phone.

Now I can't install any stock KDZ, not with LGUP and not with the LG Flashing Tool, I get Fastboot Mode started and either nothing happens or the phone leds flash red/blue.

In the meantime, I found 3 different laf.img files. One I downloaded from one of the threads, one is probably the one I saved before I removed mine and one I extracted from the LP 5.0.1 KDZ file I used.

Is there any difference in these laf.img files? Each one is of a different size and I don't know which one I should try to flash to recovery. The one I downloaded is 16.5MB, the one I backed up is 32MB and the one I extracted is 19MB. Which one should I use and how can I flash it back? I used ADB and it didn't work, I used Flashify and it also didn't work.

Any idea how I can do that?

Thank you for your help.

Sharing Modified Version

Hi @jac10000,

Update: it worked with a non-D855 model (mine is the D858HK). :) I just replaced aboot.img and laf.img with those of the Kitkat Firmware of my D858HK, as well as a "bump'd" TWRP (recovery.img) for my D858HK.

In my Imageprep script, I already had @Skin1980's Sharpening + Bump included. It is able to "bump" the boot.img properly, however, the sharpening does not take effect. My theory is that the kernel (boot.img) needs to be "bump'd" and the sharpening needs to be applied when the device is in Recovery Mode.

So what I did instead in this modification is:

1. Push @Skin1980's "Sharpening Mod Script" to the device.

2. Disabled the "LEAVE" command from Download Mode so that users will just do a battery pull to manually exit Download Mode

3. USers will reboot the device manually to Recovery Mode and then run the "Sharpening Mod Script"

Since it is modified with the intention to target other LG G3 models/variants, I added a warning for users to replace aboot.img (Kitkat version), laf.img (Kitkat version), and "bump'd" recovery.img (TWRP custom recovery) with those of their respective LG G3 models/variants.

I'm sharing the modified version (link - click me!). :) I'll also share it in the Imageprep thread.

[G3 General] jac10000:
I want to be clear, it's not my approach but the work of [MENTION=4008653]somboons[/MENTION] . I created nothing but just adapted its work for the G3 D855 !

I do not try to attract the gratitude or other but I want just to share his method because it is very practical thus no credit for me.

The only ones in whom we have to thank, because it is thanks to them that all this is possible, and I put them prominently at the beginning of my publication (not hide in a spoiler or lost in the middle of a publication) are:

- [MENTION=2308854]6ril1[/MENTION] for all his advice and convinced me to publish this method here because he knows my values ...

- [MENTION=4008653]somboons[/MENTION] and his post for the LG G2 : [TOOLS] One Click ROOT+TWRP Recovery for Lollipop Stock Firmware

Somboons have modified One Root Script ROOT KitKat / Lollipop firmware that for One Click ROOT+TWRP D802 firmware 30a/30d and I have updated his work for the LG G3 D855

- [MENTION=2200907]avicohh[/MENTION] for his One click script

- [MENTION=1157052]thecubed[/MENTION] for Bumps!

- [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] for send_command and his New Root Method for LG Devices

- [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] for SuperSU

Then I have no merit to part that to want to share one excellent method without drawing the attention on me. It is just for the community of the G3, not for me.
[G3 General] topet2k12001:
Hi @jac10000,

Thanks for this; I'll make sure to include these as well. Most of the names above are already in my "Credits" section. I'll just need to add @somboons and @avicohh.

We have the same intention. I only want a method available to my D858HK, seeing as it is not a popular model therefore support is very limited. But I love this model because it is dual-SIM and it is very rare to see a manufacturer produce a high-end dual-SIM. I don't earn money out of what I'm doing here in XDA as this is just a hobby.

My First Post is already too long (which is why I had to use "Hide" tags). As you can see even in my original/unedited post, my "Credits" section has a long list of names that I can remember, so it is clear that my value is not to gain credit. As far as I know, I haven't seen similar threads with a "credits" list that long (I may be wrong).

It (First Page of my thread) is undergoing some maintenance/updating/clean-up so stay tuned
