Stump doesn't work, ioRoot doesn't work, and I've been unable to roll back to ZV4.
So what do I do? Or, what am I doing wrong? Is there a more up to date writeup somewhere that I missed?

Sorry bud but that update disabled root completely, and if your bootloader isn't unlocked, the only way I know how to restore root is by perform an offline or online restore with B2C app
Mr. Duck forgot to tell you that it's unaltered and flashing it will make you lose root (because it changes the owner of the xbin folder and files).

Hi!
I am currently trying to do this as well, but it does not seem to work on my tf201. Do i have to do more than just press "make it ra1n"?
Has anyone figure this out, yet? I can't seem to make TowelRoot work, either.
Hello, I've recently gotten a LG G3 for my birthday, and so far I love it! Only thing is I can't seem to root it. Im on 4.4.2, along with the ZV4, but stump root wont work for me. My phone model is the LS990, the Sprint model, and when I try to use stump root this happens (see attachment). I'm unable to use the grind button and I can't use the brute force option. And ideas on why I can't root my phone. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Try using the flash tool to downgrade back to ZV4 or ZV8 you can check my root guide for instructions. Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/how-to-root-lg-g3-sprint-ls990-t3046496. Kust make sure to read carfully because if you don't you can end up bricking your phone.

I think I'm already on ZV4? Can you confirm I'm not before I try that dangerous method?
Yep your own ZV4 I will go ahead and link the thread for ZV4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...de-how-to-restore-sprint-lg-g3-ls990-t2852042 it only has files for ZV4. Once your on ZV4 you can root via Stump Root.

OK, so I tried what you said and the flash tool gave me an error telling me my device model is different. I did a little research, and it turns out my phone is actually model ls885, not 990, as you can see here. So that would explain why stump root wouldn't work for me. Do you have any advice, or should I try to get the stump root guys to work on developing support for my model?
I have never used/herd of this tool but here is a link that should help you root: http://resolvedqs.com/tube/7FP_JG2ywJI/how-to-root-your-new-lg-g3-vigor-android-smartphone
Just a little "heads-up" I take no responsiblity for this tool.

This is a windows tool that I made just extract it and run it. What it will do is give you your model number and what ZVx your on (x is a example). Let me know how it works plus it should help you find out what phone you have and it could be a double check. This will only work for the G3 though!

Hello all, so from all i have read so far it is possible to get a rooted zv8 if you already have a rooted zv4?? If so i have a stump rooted zv4 but i dont know how to do all the flashing and stuff needed to get root on zv8. Ive looked but havent found any step by step instructions for it. Can anyone help me with this?

Kingroot is not working with 20b and up (kingroot is now one and only option for rooting our g2m).
Try to flash some older Lollipop ROM.

try using previous versions of kingroot
for me, i have v20b and it worked perfectly with "kingroot 4.5.0"
