I had rooted my lg g3 using stump root and then recently allowed the new update and lost root. When I try to use stump root it says it is already rooted, but Super User says the binary is missing and no root is allowed. How do I go about fixing this?
Thanks!
You need to downgrade to previous and re use stump again to root the phone. Then Bump custom recovery and find the pre rooted updated stock Rom and flash that in order to be up to date. There is no root available yet for the update.
Also questions go in Q&A forum not General.

hi. new to android (from ios) and rooting. my phone is lg g2 L-01F. I found a rootkit here on the forums for it, unfortunately after tee OTA update it's only temp root. the dev did provide a kernel to apply perma root so my question is if I flash this kernel enabling perma root but later flash another kernel will I lose root? thank you.
Guys I started a thread about this update and was moved to Q&A listing (sry for misplacement)
I have done the upgrade and I can confirm that the root method "iroot25" works with this upgrade, and that autorec recovery installer also works with this upgrade.
So now I have the latest from LG, meanwhile, still having root and custom recovery, just wanted to share.

hi there,
I have the d803 running on the same sw version but when i tried the iroot25 method i almost brciked the **** out of it.
it started mounting dozens of partitions..
any clues?
So I've had the G3 for a while but haven't played with it at all like I have with some of my old phones. I'm not currently rooted and have already taken the Verizon update to Lollipop VS98523C. Can I even root my phone in it's current state? If I can root, what root method would be the best one. I've seen a few different ones. If I did root are there even ROMs that would work for my phone. I'm most interested in putting CM on it. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've searched the forums quite a bit and haven't found this information. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Downgrading via kdz or tot, then rooting using the new method, then install latest version of TWRP for our phone, then flashing the rom from TWRP would be the easiest, most brick resistant method
Can you tell me which root method is the new one?
Don't need to downgrade at all anymore. The new root script is somewhere in the regular LG G3 sections (not Verizon specific) and there's now an app in the Play Store (there's a thread from only a day or more ago in these Verizon LG G3 sections about it) for installing TWRP on our phone that's supposed to work under Lollipop. I haven't tested it yet, myself, mind you.
For reference, the old root method is called Stump and didn't work with 12B or newer.

Closing thread. Will try Flashfire.
Sorry for inconvenience

My phone is a T-Mobile LG K7 (aka LG K330). I rooted with Kingroot & did the SuperSU changeover. The phone came with Android 5.1.1, but T-Mobile is offering an upgrade to Marshmallow.
1. I'm worried about being able to root again if I upgrade. How likely is it that I can't root again after upgrade?
2. Is the upgrade worth the risk? What would I gain going from Lollipop to Marshmallow?
3. When I got the phone, the only root app I found that worked was Kingroot. Are there any newer root apps for the less well-known phones?
Will try Flashfire
First, I had a rooted G3. Never updated it. Now, I have an H830 (T-Moble) variant. I've been rooted since I bought the phone and have never updated because I don't know how to do it without losing root. I'm still on software version H83010d (Android 6.0.1).
From what I've gathered, I just download the .zip in here and install via TWRP and then flash superSU afterwards?
I'm not completely sure what the talk of modifying boot.img or removing recovery-from-boot.p...
My reason for updating is because I want to try the Fulmics ROM or any optimized ROM for that matter. I had one on my G3 and it ran so much better.
But then as a follow up question, is the update process the same from a ROM? Do you just flash an update over the Rom and then re-flash the ROM?
Any links or answers are appreciated so I can finally figure out how to update while retaining root on my devices. :laugh:
