Hi there
I just upgraded to the 47A using the kdz and lg flash tools and searching on the forums i see that the only root method for this version is using kingroot,if there is another method to root permantly (as far as i have read king root,root the phone,but you need re-root it whenever you reboot the phone), can someone provide me with info on those methods?

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!

kingroot,kingo root this two are better app for rooting and you don't need to backup to root your device.Though titanium backup is a good backup tool for android.

I was under the impression that you could not root the LG K7 because I wasn't able to root the LG K3 (Boost Mobile). But which program should I use? -- Kingo Root or King Root?

Hi, I'm currently using LG V10 F600, which unfortunately developers of LG does not provide unlocking bootloader.
So I'm searching for ways to root my phone without unlocking the bootloader. If anyone knows someway plz tell me.
And I've found something about 'fastboot boot recovery. img' related to my request which I don't understand either, so if you know something about this, it will be a great help for me to let me know

Root is already available, there is TOT which you need to flash but you must be downgrade it to V10m first otherwise root will fail. My brother is using same variant which I got rooted without any issue.

Hi Waxim1,

Hi,
Tried the TOT files but soft bricked phone. LGUP stock firmware able to recover phone.
Will try again when not busy...need phone for work as will be travelling on business trip.
Hi guys, I'm on f600s 30c and I just factory reset due to consecutive dirty flash. Restoring almost all apps already when I found out enable oem unlock in developer option. Does this mean we can actually unlock using adb? I'm hesitant to try since I'll have to repeat my settings and installing all over again.
also searching for any method to root my bootlooping f600l on 7.0
How do i know if the phones bootloader is locked or unlocked? Im using a lg d618. Any tips on the quickest way to install twrp? I read that its best to root then use flashify to put Twrp on the phone.

Allright.
A Phone always comes with a locked bootloader so if you don't unlocked it yourself it is still locked.
To flash twrp you will need a unlocked bootloader and to unlock a bootloader you need rootacess.
I used the app rlashr to flash twrp and boot in recovery. Don't forget to type 'su' in a terminal before you use it (at the guide how to unlock a bootloader)
This guide tells you how to do everything:
(Follow these steps: root -> bootloader-> recovery(twrp))
