Hey, everyone,
I am new to LG android devices with my G3, and everything I found regarding rooting my new phone says that ioroot, stumproot, and even towel root should work, but none of them have. in ioroot, I ran the batch file and nothing happened. my device did not go into recovery like it was supposed to. Stump just said "sorry, your device is patched", and Towel root, which I had used on my GS5 flawlessly said that my G3 was not supported. I reeeeaaaly want to get mine and my wifes G3s rooted, but nothing is working. Please help!
I'm sure the issue is that I'm on 12b, but how do I roll back the sw version so I can use stump?

you need to revert back to version 10b before you root

How much reading around the forums have you done? I ask only because it sounds like you may be on one of the more recent software versions, and you should be careful about attempting to flash anything unless you've double and triple read all the available information out there. Doing anything less is asking for issues, and with two phone you don't want eat that $1,200 if you screw it up haha The first thing to find out is what software version you are currently on? It would be either 10B, 11C, or 12B.

Search the forums first before you post - you'll find there's a very clear rollback thread based on the kdz method. Follow that to the T and you'll be golden.

I haven't done much research in the forums, I admit that. What I've researched were the different root methods, and sadly, none of them mention that they won't work on 12b. I obviously have to find that other thread you spoke of.

I found the p769bk 10g firmware, but it's since been taken down. after I figure out how to host the file, i'll post it.
edit:
here's the link:

here's an alternate link:

also, flashing this version means losing root and cwm.
Awesome!! Im gonna test it and see whats in it. Link is broke for dropbox

1.) Does it have all the regular T-Mobile bloatware?
2.) Does it include working wifi-calling?
If these are both true, it really is a T-Mobile KDZ.
One last question.
3.) Is the digitizer more or less sensitive that the 10e firmware? Thank You.

I have owned 6 P769BK devices so far. All of them have been difficult to root. Try the official root a bunch of times with reboots in between. It may work eventually. that is what happened for me.
I wonder if its an "official" update that just wasn't ready which is why it was pulled.

I think you misunderstood, or I used bad grammar. I meant to say that back when I was on v10e I rooted first try. The one I found was P769BK, not P769BKGO. Still trying to download P769BKGO, but every time I try it says:
Forbidden
Your client is not allowed to access the requested object.
as for the differences, I can't say, as I don't have the latter one yet.
sorry for the confusion.
also, if anybody does have the v10e or v10g p769bkgo kdz, could you send me a fileshare link, seeing as apparently I've downloaded and flashed the wrong kdz, even though it works perfectly

[SIZE=+3]Frequently Asked Questions[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]Sprint LG G3[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions in this device forum and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: How do I Root my LG G3?[/SIZE]You should revert to ZV4 using Flashtool - see below.
OR
You can root ZVA using THIS Thanks to @l33tlinuxh4x0r - But be aware that most ROM's/Kernels are made for the ZV4 bootloader!!! You will have all ZVA partitions, so you may have issues.
On ZV4:
1. Your phone must have NEVER been Rooted before. Even if you've uninstalled SuperSu and removed all the files IT WILL NOT WORK!! It MUST be installed on a clean phone. ie Never Rooted, LGFlashtool - see below about this.
2. Root for us is in this thread. HERE
Version 1.2.0 is the most current - Hit "Grind" it'll more than likely say not supported, then hit "OK" and it will "Bruteforce" root to your phone, then reboot when told and it'll reboot again on its own.
Let it bootup, then install SuperSu, reboot and then uninstall Stump Root.
Version 1.0.0 was made specifically for the Sprint G3.
[SIZE=+1]Q2: How do I unlock the bootloader?[/SIZE]You must Root first with Stump, then we use BUMP
HERE is another option to install BUMP.
or
for ZV8/A, This should work Thanks to @bender_007
[SIZE=+1]Q3: How do I Restore/Fix and Get my MSL on my LG G3?[/SIZE]With LGFlashtool. For a walkthru on how to use it go. HERE
This page will also get your MSL. Read Post #4
[SIZE=+1]Q4: How do I fix/backup other things on my LG G3?[/SIZE]
BACKUP EFS
STUCK IN RECOVERY
PRESERVE ROOT FROM OTA'S
[SIZE=+1]Q5: Dialer Codes to fix things[/SIZE]In order least invasive to most.
##UPDATE#
##SCRTN#
or
##RTN# - this one requires your MSL. Get it from Sprint or HERE
[SIZE=+1]Q6: What about modifying files on the LG G3? ie build.prop[/SIZE]Make a backup in TWRP first
Our build prop is too large for most text editors. 920 text editor, works so you can get it from the Playstore. Make sure after modifying anything to set permissions. For the build.prop it's rw-r-r.
[SIZE=+1]Q7: How do I Backup/Restore EFS on the LG G3?[/SIZE]VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU BACK THIS UP!!! HERE YUP...This is here twice for a reason.
[SIZE=+1]Q8: The LG G3 has CDMA and GSM radios. How do I...?[/SIZE]For now, I'll leave the search for you.
[SIZE=+1]Q: What to do about ZVA/ZV8/ZV6 Update[/SIZE]LOOK HERE

Nope. We're good to go on this one. Just be careful what apps you remove. Don't cut too deep.
What a lot of people are doing is freezing/disabling apps before they remove them.
Added questions Q5 - apps, Q6 - modifying build.prop and system files
Updated rooting instructions. Just made it more thorough.
Here's an idea for q8.
How do I get my QHD preloaded videos back?
The answer is... Restore your G3 with flashtool!
I accidentally deleted my QHD vids awhile back when I did a factory reset from stock recovery. I couldn't use someone else's vids because they have some kind of protection and can only be viewed on the device they came on.
I restored with flashtool the other day and when I was going through my gallery this morning I noticed that they are back.
I searched and asked everywhere trying to get them back with no luck.
---------- Post added at 06:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 AM ----------
I'd like to make another suggestion, if you don't mind.
These are common questions that someone would search Google for. It would be great if this thread popped up when someone searched Google for the answer.
My suggestion is to make each question specific to the G3 or LG G3.
Example.. Q3: How do I restore my LG G3 back to factory stock condition?
Just think about what you'd type into the Google search bar.
Excellent faq, please don't think I'm trying to be critical.

It's all good. I was the one asking for suggestions, so I don't think that at all.
The way XDA wants these FAQ's is to try and find the most common questions so as to limit the amount of new threads. I tend to take it a little further by providing links and other info that I think is helpful.
To answer your suggestions:
1. So far, I think you're the only one who wanted the QHD vids back. So I'm not being rude, but for now I'll leave it off. You, me and others that actually read these threads know how to fix this. (and this IS on the first page now). If it becomes a common issue, I will gladly add it.
2. I'm not positive about this but I think the tags at the bottom serve that purpose. I added a couple and I think anybody can do the same. I'll edit the OP just to make sure.
Thanks for the suggestions, and please don't think I was being critical. I was just explaining my position.
Added link for question #5 APPS removal list. Thanks to stas333
Q#7 Added EFS Backup info. Very Important that you do this or you could be in for a lot of work and luck.
Q#3 Added info on getting MSL

All the G3s ( except T-Mobile ) just got unlocked like a week ago. Plus we're all waiting for the Devs to release their Bump tool so AOSP Roms and custom Kernels can be flashed.

If you're on Sprint, Stump is our root method. And to unlock the boot loader, we all use Bump.
Stump and Bump are the names of the apps/methods.

Is there a link on how to root it and if so can someone please post a link for me. I would like to keep use of my Galaxy Gear 2, but if that is not possible I will just sell it. I apologize if this has been asked a million and one times. I had root once before but lost it with an update.

I'm a Verizon user with this same update/fix (I545VRUFNK1) on Galaxy s4 and have lost root, I tried the trusty towelroot, and now it's saying that this device isnt supported.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, This update that samsung did for me lost my root, and threw back on all the Bloatware. It did however fix my daily random reboots (averaged 36 a day) wifi Password sticking issue, screen rotation issue.
Thanks in advance!

hello there. first off there is a work around to get root access for NK1. But i would like to say you are in the wrong thread posting this question on here. It should be post in the questions and answers thread. but ok getting back to your question. for you to gain root.
1.first you must downgrade your device to NC5. Try using the no wipe technique first to see if that helps for you to keep your data if not you need to wipe.
2. after you have successfully downgraded used toowel root to gain root access on your device.
3. Used muniz_ri root method to root NK1.
Well i hope this helps and here are the links.

My suggestion would be to read more as this can ruin your phone if you don't know what you are doing. Not trying to be rude....but you need to study the subject. Check out the tutorials all over the LG G3 section

Two methods, one is flashing a .tot file, the other is flashing a .kdz.
I include a link to the post for the .tot approach, the .kdz one is found in a thread in the Verizon G3 General forum area, a post by annoyingduck.

Doesn't matter if you ever had it, you can still put it on. I'm sure you are on 11c, otherwise stump wouldn't say its patched.
The previous post has the links you need to get it reverted to an older version.

Arrogant ****s like YOU are the biggest "tech" problem, this person clearly stated they they were not tech savvy yet you still talk down to them.
That's my favorite part of the "online community"...everyone's a tough guy.
As a parting gift, I'll give you this: Do a little homework before you reply to this in ANY way that could be deemed disrespectful.
I've been looking around the forums to see any progress made. Saw the bounty threads but came across this on the Verizon LG V10 forum.
"rootsystem with TOT vs990 made by tungkick"
As I cannot post links cos I here am newb, just wanted feedback. I really do enjoy this phone but think it would be better with root. Anyways, I do understand that they are different phones but maybe same method would apply? My phone has the unlocked boot loader but recovery cannot be flashed to gain root. Not trying to drone on here but just curious.. Thanks!

His root is for lollipop. The Verizon version does not have and unlockable bootloader. There is a rooted MM update the T-Mobile version here:

If you do, make sure to read the instructions 10 times to make sure understand them clearly.

That's also for Lolly..it says in the directions..
Unfortunately I updated to the MM but my boot loader is unlocked. From my understanding of reading various sources, the inability to flash a custom recovery on MM is the current dilemma. Threads get buried so quickly so maybe I'm missing something. But TY [emoji4]

That is the rooted official MM update for our phone. It's not lollipop. If you updated via the kdz or ota, then your stuck waiting for root like others that did it that way. AutoPrime is working on root so hopefully it's just a matter of time.

I've been reading a lot too. From what I read is that FlashFire by ChainFire might be the only chance we have to flash a custom recovery. I've tried searching for it but I can't find a link to it. Im rooted on MM already but I still would like to know..

I read an article about it too. Not sure if any link was posted though. Chainfire is well known so you might be able to Google him and find his stuff.
Edit: I found this and it has a link to the download. I know people where asking about it but I haven't heard if anyone tried it. Supposedly it keeps root and custom recovery intact when you upgrade via ota. Don't know if it would help in your case since you are already on MM. You can check it out and see.

Downloaded & Installed it. Still unsure what to do with it. Lol

Back when I was using a Moto Cliq the Devs found a way to flash a custom recovery using the stock recovery. I was wondering if theres any chance that will still work.
The file was named update.zip and it would flash it.. Just a simple reboot back to recovery and there it was.

Like I said, I think it's more for preserving root and custom recovery during an ota update. I have seen stuff like that done in recent years, I think something like that is how they got root and custom recovery on the Verizon G4 last year.

Kewl. I might give it a shot. The update has been sitting on my phone since yesterday morning.

I just want root for getting rid of bloat and spyware. I talked to a friend who works at TMob and he says reason it's getting harder to root is because unless you buy the phone outright, it's a lease. He mentioned that the JUMP program isn't really profitable, hence all this difficulty. Patience is a virtue...Pfft.

If you try it please report back.
To be fair im already rooted and on MM Rom by Eliminater74.
But I tried FlashFire to see if it'll work.
Downloaded an earlier TWRP build and renamed it to recovery.img and it flashed fine.
The app needs root for it to work. Now maybe this will work for those that have root but no custom recovery..Im not too sure. Also not sure if the app is also searching if it has a locked or unlocked bootloader.
Im not positive if the fastboot command to flash a recovery is blocked on MM but its flashable using FlashFire.

But you are not on an factory updated MM firmware - right? Your present MM is a custom rom mimicking MM. If yes, that's why you did not lose root...On factory MM update it is not possible to flash recovery either way...

I didnt update via LG Bridge or OTA but
Its not mimicking MM. Its a Rom but its TMobiles official 20e update.
But I was just testing to see if it will work for flashing a recovery.img after MM.
Not for losing or gaining root.
Thats why having patience paid out for me. Everyones quick to have the latest and greatest not knowing the consequences it will have.
Now if we can get a root injected 20e .kdz or .tot file and flash it with LG tool or bridge (or how ever the other versions of the V10 gained root)
Then unlock bootloader
Theres a chance FlashFire will get TWRP to flash.
Just need a root injected 20e .kdz or .tot

What's with people saying Eliminator74's rom is mimicking MM? His 20E rooted rom is the official T-Mobile update. His Korean port is the one that mimicks MM. I'm not trying to start anything, just trying to clear things up. If people update via OTA or use LG Bridge, they are on the official 20E MM software. If people update using Eliminator74's stock rom, they are on the official 20E MM software. Hope this helps clear any misunderstandings about it. [emoji106]

I haven't update to MM yet. It downloaded to my phone early Tuesday morning and has been sitting there nagging me to update. I am still on stock rooted Lollipop with the latest unofficial TWRP for the our V10. I'm debating on trying Flashfire. Chainfire is an excellent dev and has done and continues to do great things for the Android community so it's possible he is heading in the right direction. All of our great devs are working hard to crack this for people. Autoprime and The Cubed and their teams worked hard to figure out root for the G4 even after other devs and users had given up on that device. Have no fear, our devs will figure this out, you just have to have some patience, it will happen. [emoji2]

There's that "patience" word again lol..
I do know my bootloader is unlocked because of the "corruption" message when it boots up..but I would rather wait till something solid is worked out like previous posters have said.
Anyone want to try Kingroot?
