Hi there,
I got a "certified like new" D800 from an At&t Device Support Center recently and it came with the latest OTA D80020y.
I'm trying to figure out what the most conservative way to root 20y would be.
I've looked into:
- IOroot25: Seems like it only supports up to D800 10q.
- Towelroot v3 by geohot: This post makes me think towelroot won't work with 20y (confirms that ioroot won't work either).
- Stump Root?: As I understand it's for Sprint/Verizon G3, but this post confirms that it will likely work on D80020y with a brute force method (not sure what that entails).
So stump root sounds like the only option for rooting on 20y, but does anyone know if there is any issues or risks associated with this brute force method compared with other root methods?
Is the safest way to get root for someone on 20y to simply use the LG Flash Tool and go back to older KK or JB firmware? If that is the case, which firmware is ideal for rooting?
I don't want custom recovery at this point, but I will eventually when I grow weary of the LG overlay.
Hopefully this thread will help others who find themselves on D80020y and want root privileges (or even get recovery for that matter). I think if you're planning on getting recovery and flashing a new firmware, LG Flash Tool is the way to go though. I just don't want to abandon my setup simply for root.
Thanks!

im on 20y and been using Stump root since day one. Absolutely no issues for me. You brute force it, it takes 2 or 3 minutes then it asks you to reboot. reboot, install superSU then you are golden.
From 20u, I OTA updated to 20y then used Stump to root (bruteforce of course). Everything works fine since.
It works just smooth.. no hiccups at all..
Its worked like charm.. I was really hesitated to root my device as it was my first time to root to get my lost files which I accidentally deleted. I saw this post and thought of giving a try. The steps I followed are
1. Installed stump root on my device (downloaded and transferred from my mac)
2. it will ask permission to Bruteforce and select yes.
3. it takes less than a minute to install
4. restarted twice
5. installed supersu and rootchecker
6. Done.. got ROOT access.
Can anyone please please suggest me how to get deleted files from my LG G2. I deleted 2 files to save memory and later realized that I need that files and it contained my important data.
Please please..
Hey guys I just bought an LG g2 for my little brother and I'm looking for a way to unlock the bootloader... I used stump root to root it like i did my g3 but can't find a way to unlock the bootloader... Even when googling it I can't find nothing... Appreciate the help

FYI, I got TWRP with this download: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407585979
non-AT&T users should select the correct file from http://kevinwithtech.blogspot.com/2014/09/how-to-make-lg-g2-look-like-lg-g3.html
So, I have a D80020y unrooted. First I must use Stumproot to get root, and then use Autorec to install TWRP, right?
Also, can anyone explain me if I can use LG Flash Tool on D80020y? Can I use it without root?
Finally!

You are the effing man!
I completely messed up my wife's new LG G2 by flashing the wrong recovery image through TWRP (like an idiot). My immediate inability to get into recovery mode led me down a rabbit hole filled with failed solutions... each one compounding the problem more and more until it all snowballed into a situation where the 'Settings' function in Android stopped working altogether, I had no recovery, and download mode froze every time I attempted to use it. Despite all this, somehow my computer still recognized the phone as a media device >> All I had left was the ability to drag and drop files into the internal storage.
... and then I came across this magnificent link to AutoRec that you posted and flashed the proper version of TWRP onto the phone effortlessly. I downloaded it, launched it through File Manager, dropped the CloudyG2 Rom onto the SD card, and installed that S.O.B. with ease. THE PHONE WORKS LIKE AN ABSOLUTE CHAMP NOW. Flawless.
I never... NEVER post on forums, but I made this account specifically to tell you "Thank you!". That tiny little link solved countless hours of mind bending stress (and quite possibly saved my marriage) in mere minutes. Cheers buddy! PM me if you get the chance. I want to give you a shout out on my podcast this week.
What is the download link for stumproot?

Sorry folks for bringing up an old post but i need some serious opinion on this one;
-Couple of months ago when there was a deal on eBay when AT&T LG G2 32GB went on sale like real cheap, I've purchased one for myself. Ever since than its been rock solid n performed well on daily tasks. pretty much handles everything i through at it.
-For the last few days i've been going through serious Battery Drain because of Android OS(Kernel), Pics i've attached, kindly check for brief idea about what i'm been through.
-No intention of Rooting it, though I'm aware of rooting devices in the past. But If anyone has encountered such issue and found a way out, i'll be happy. I just don't want to Root my device. That's what the main purpose of this post.
-I've done factory reset once 2 days ago but ratio to Screen On Time to Android OS is always like 1:2, you may check on attachment.
-There's no such app could cause Battery drain, Bcos i've been using the same apps for over a month n never encountered such in the past Or any of other devices.
-If Rooting is the last option then guide me the steps, If I'm doing anything wrong or not.
For the record I've d80020y build come PreInstalled, last OTA for 4.4.2 from AT&T
Steps:
-Fully Charged > Unplug it > Under Settings > Turned on USB Debugging while tapping 7 times on Build number.
-Mark on Unknown application Under Security.
-Insatll Stump Root v1.2 .apk
-Hit Grind > If Message pop ups > choose Brute Force > Ask for Reboot > After that Install SuperSU from PlayStore.
That's all about Rooting the device. But what about Bootloader? How to Unlock the bootloader?
As i go through several thread, it redirects me onto AutoRec to flash TWRP over Stock recovery. But my concern, Does Rooting will Unlocked the bootloader on itself? Or Have to follow fastboot commands to do it.
Do i have to partitioned my device, like External or Internal, as my all previous devices had MicroSD support whereas this one is 32GB Inbuilt.

Kingroot

Kingroot worked for me (on version d80020y)
LG one click root 1.3 worked for me on Lolllipop 30f
Just bought a LG G2 and rooted it via Stump Root. I also updated it to Lollipop via a guide in these forums. Since then I apparently lost the root, Stump Root still acts like the device is rooted and have been trying to figure it out. Was using this guide (can't link) on High on Android to help me root via adb but is not happening.
Can't seem to get it to work. The download mode gets stuck at 0% and the driver failed to install. The box at the bottom says USER B84. Honestly I'm a bit confused because this is my first Android phone and I just wanted to install a volume boost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, worked like a charm. Thanks!
Okay, so I may be beating a dead horse, but I have literally sat for hours trying to achieve root. I have tried the one click method, script method, and others; all of which have failed. I apologize in advance if I have over looked a recent and updated thread regarding the AT&T G3 root methods.
I am running:
Android 5.0.1
D85021r
Kernel Version 3.4.0
I just want root access so I can get rid of all this garbage software they force on the AT&T G3 users. Thanks in advance.
Hey there man. I searched high and low as well for a root method when I got my G3 a couple weeks ago. It was already on Lollipop, so Stump was a non-starter for me. There's 2 ways you can get root for your phone:
1) Follow the guide to downgrade it back to KitKat using the .tot file and LG Flash tool ( You will loose ALL data stored on the phone FYI). Then install Stump to root, and then install Flashify from the Play Store so you can installed a Bump'd version of TWRP for your custom recovery if you ever want to install something else other than the stock ROM.
OR......
2) Install KingRoot on your computer. Enable USB Debugging on your phone first though, and connect it. Open KingRoot and let it do its thing. It's in all Chinese (or Japanese), but just click the button. Give it a few minutes and you should be set. Keep in Mind that KingRoot is NOT SuperSU. However, they both provide root access.

TowelRoot worked perfectly fine for me on Lollipop. I rooted it that way, then installed AutoRec for Lollipop and installed TWRP custom recovery, right from the phone, within Android, no PC or rebooted into a special mode required. Took me all of about 5 minutes or less!!!
This is the method known to work http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
With the software level on your phone you need to go into McAfee and disable the Lock Down "feature" that prevents enabling USB debugging.
Just wanted to point out that if you install TWRP you will not be able to boot your phone due to a security error, for it to work you need a different kernel.

I haven't been able to get it past pushing the files. Through the auto script it gets stuck on 15% pushing files.
GOT IT!!!
Okay, so it seems there may have been some interference between an app and the data push. I ended up putting the phone into safe mode, run the root.bat, and presto! I HAVE ROOT! THANK THE ANDROID GODS (and shawkes)! Now to remove all of this damn bloatware!
Congrats man. I couldn't get those scripts to work. I blame my Windows 10 machine and it's USB 3.0 ports.

Windows 10 is a bastard within itself. Good luck to you!
The info for downgrading to kit kat does not work. It tells you to do something with com setting or something in devices or something but there is no such thing.
Kingroot is one of those foreign one click root things, but it does have a thread here on XDA. I heard of it because it can root S4's on Lollipop without having to flash things in download mode. It's an option if you're desperate for root and don't care about flash counters, q-fuses, q-fuses, warranty bits, whatever. I don't know if there's any risk of bricking, but if it does work that would be nice to know, and once rooted we can replace Kinguser with any number of tutorials.
If this works, then it can certainly open up expiration for more exploits/workarounds/unlocks so it would be nice. As always, nothing is guaranteed and I know the pain of a locked bootloader life (my phone took an OTA while I was on an exploited firmware and I've been locked to Touchwiz ever since ) but hopefully we can at least get the spark going.
Didn't work with KingRoot, or Kingo ROOT. With KingRoot it told me right away it couldn't. Kingo ROOT restarted into download mode and nothing happened. Had to restart phone. Maybe if I installed all the drivers and tried again it might work.
This is definitely an option I'm gonna explore. I'm not sure how much longer can handle l the adds.

Any update on this? Did it work?
I've installed all the drivers for lg phones on my pc. I have tried kingo root with no luck. It boots into software update mode and stays there at 0% and kingroot I've been checking every day since the release of the phone to try to root. I have used king root on previous androids I have owned and it works just fine on them. This h900 has to root yet that I am aware of and I have looked for hours.
Here's the forum where we are trying to get root.

Basically right now it's just waiting on us getting a TOT file so jcase can restore his phone if his exploit goes fubar and bricks his phone.
He has stated he has a few exploits he thinks will work on all the carries, but isn't go to test them without being able to restore.
Also I think someone has already released a system pull.

You would be correct. Nothing really came it though. We need a tot before jcase is going to try his root exploits.

Hey all!
I recently bought the LG Phoenix 2 (LG k371) from ATT, and I really want to root it. But alas, I was unable to find any root method that works for my phone. Does anyone know of a method that will currently work for my device? It is running MarshMallow 6.0. I can update with any other info needed.

Tried KingRoot, no dice
BUMP: I really need a method for this...
I have the same phone. Kingroot did work for me. You have to run it several times but it does eventually work. Also had the random reboot issue on occasion but I did get the bloatware off. What I would like to know is once its temp rooted, is there a method to get permanent root? Any custom recoveries that work for this?
Well I totally boned my phone I think. Kingroot works but it caused a lot of instability. It reboots the phone within minutes of getting temp rooted. So I tried supersume to remove kingroot (which seems to also have a pretty bad reputation as far as privacy goes) to replace kingroot with supersu. Everything seemed to go fine, the binary updated and looked good. Once the phone reboots though, it freezes on the AT&T logo. When I try to factory reset the android pops on screen for about 5 seconds and nothing changes. I can't do anything with adb. Whenever I try to list devices the phone is detected but it says it isn't "Authorized". If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it.

Installing super su when rooted with king will brick Everytime you can temp root to uninstall the at&t bloat but that's about as far as I got phone keeps rebooting every few minutes when rooted I think I'll just get a new phone
I'm really not a fan of the fact that this device de-roots itself on every reboot, I know the developers have more popular models to address, so I'm not complaining. I was just wondering if anyone knows a way to keep that from happening and safely get rid of KingRoot and put SuperSU on instead...

Stay away from Kingroot and supersume, you are going to brick your phone!!! You'll have to send it in to LG, and your phone will never be the same again!!!
It only takes one attempt of kingroot, and no more security updates from at&t, Error: !!your device is suspected of rooting!!

Anyone have any advice on hacking into the system somehow to bypass the boot loader in order to fix the bridging problem at&t left us with? Or possibly something like flashily to flash directly to device or so we can disable bootloader security, or bypass at&t security or something like the old school ways hacking the system if possible. I don't understand HW,SW,KERNEL,LINUX,CODE,APPS so its hard for me to hack it myself. Although, I have successfully rooted, flashed supersu and twrp'd my htc one m9. I have been into buildprops and enabled hotspot tethering and disabled data throttle through proxy servers and HSM. I just don't know where or how to start the root procession this device Cuz I'm still a newb. Please no one click root suggestions, I prefer the knowledge not the instant gratification!

Yeah I tried that before I attempted to Kingroot and then Supersume. Did the same thing. If anyone knows of a way to de-brick the phone when supersume fails I'd appreciate any help. Not sure it's even possible.
LG k371 is one of the k8 series.
All K8 were compressed at lz4 not the gzip. SuperSU v2.66 (and other previous system-less version of supersu installer) can't decompress LZ4-compressed kernel. So that procedure won't finish the last step.
There might be two ways to solve this issue, either repacking into gzip, or waiting for supersu's support to lz4.
I guess the supersu's support to lz4 could be easier. But I don't think ppl are working on it.
At that thread, someone succeed rooting another K8 model (LG K8 k350n), with a different chipset, Mediatek MT6735 . I guess you could check it out.
