I may have gotten slightly overexcited about lollipop! I factory reset my d850 so that I could get lollipop, which unroofed the phone as well as reverted TWRP recovery back to stock. Now I can't find any information on the Google machine on rooting. Does anybody have any information on when or if anyone has or will figured out a way to root the lg g3 (D850) on AT&T? Any info would be greatly appreciated! I use many apps that rely on root and when I hit the upgrade button I just assumed that one of you smarty pants already figured it out! Thanks
And that assumption was Wrong as of now there is no root exploit identified for lollipop on this device. Doesn't mean it will never happen just that no one has figured it out yet.
You might be able to downgrade using LG flash tools search around this site look in the LG lounge I believe someone has done this already
Don't take anymore ota. Updates or it might not work

Hello, my roommate has a Verizon Galaxy S3. He recently took the 4.4 update, and it apparently screwed up his phone pretty bad. He gets terrible battery life and force closes and freezing. He came into my room knowing that I'm an android nerd and he asked me to root and rom his phone. Cool.
So, now I'm trying to catch up on the current state of the GS3.
He has never rooted or installed recovery. I was under the impression that the Verizon GS3 had an unlocked bootloader, but now I'm reading that the bootloader might be locked since he updated?
1: Is it possible to ODIN back to an earlier version and then unlock his bootloader?
2: What's JTAG?
3: Is there an easy way to install recovery on 4.4 that I'm missing?
Any links or advice you guys could give me would be really helpful... I'm currently reading and jumping between links, but It's hard to figure out where the phone currently stands with all the conflicting information out there and the new update that just pushed.

1: No, it is not possible to ODIN back to unlock the bootloader. Your friend is stuck on 4.4.2.
2: JTAG is a service you can send your phone off for and pay for to unbrick a hard bricked phone. As long as you or your friend do not hard brick his phone, you won't need a JTAG.
3: You cannot install any kind of standard recovery on 4.3.1 or 4.4.2 on the Verizon Galaxy S3. There is an unofficial safestrap you may be able to use on 4.4.2 found here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797314 But there are no ROMs to flash using safestrap, so for the moment it is kind of pointless.
There really isn't conflicting information in these threads unless you are looking at old, outdated threads on rooting. All of the information anyone needs to know about the current state of the Verizon Galaxy S3 can be found in just a few threads:

Was on KK 4.4.2 This was rooted and unlocked. This on USC network. My phone is a SCH-R970
Decided to load 5.0.1. Was able to do this without much difficulty using Odin 3.10.6
Now, however, I'm not able to load TWRP or CF-Auto-Root. I keep getting errors using Odin. I'm able to go to stock recovery, erase everything, reload either KK 4.4.2 or Lollipop 5.0.1, either will work. With 4.4.2, I'm again able to root but not with 5.0.1
Team UsCellular was most helpful in suggestions, but none seemed to work for me. Was left as an unsolvable mystery.
Has anyone here come across such a thing? Any suggestions. Any advice on what forums I might visit?

1 up this....
Interested in rooting the USC SCH-R970 with 5.0.1. Any success yet? If so, please help.
No, no help yet. At this point I've given up. I take it you've been having similar issues? If so, I would point you to TeamUSCellular's forums. They have always been most helpful and forthcoming with their efforts, although, sadly, not with mine this time.
So basically I never wanted to update my phone but I accidentally pressed Install Now when I was trying to open the messaging app. Now I can't root it anymore or downgrade it. Worst mistake ever for my phone :crying:
So my phone found a new update, but I don't want to update it because I want to look for a updated ROOTED rom that is later than OG7. If anyone has a odin flashable / zip flashable, PLEASE message me. I have a friend that works with android roms, he said that its something to do with the bootloader and it has to be rewritten by hand to make it rootable because of verizons bootloader, and to unlock the bootloader. PingPongRoot doesn't work anymore after the 5.1.1 update. I really hate this update. it slowed my phone down a lot. **** you verizon :crying::crying::crying:
Anyways I need a rooted rom to flash on my phone to make my phone think its signed by Samsung or Verizon and it's a new update. Please help me root my phone. I really got nothing to root it now ;-;

Sorry, it doesn't exist for the Verizon Galaxy S6. The last rooted ROM was OE2.

Have you tried updating to Marshmallow? I'm on CleanROM 1.5 android 5.0.2 OE2, and have been curious of the new android version, but at the same time do not want to lose root. Let me know if Marshmallow is worth losing root. Only advantage I see to root at this point is not having all that damn bloatware I really hate and cannot remove without root. Thanks.

I rather not update it unless
1: A root method is available
2: A rooted rom for Marshmallow is available
Just saying. upgrading to 5.1.1 unintentially (mainly because i was directly going to the messaging app but accidentally pressed install now) made me loose my root access. That's why I'm seeing if there is a rooted rom for that rom or a root method for that room.

From what I understand, it seems verizon is never going to allow it. Just look at Note 4 from verizon, it came out in 2014 and still no sign there will ever be root available for that one either. I'm even considering moving to tmo since there is root on their devices. Good luck.

Wow, I'll have to check this out. Maybe verizon SGS6 5.1.1 and later will come some day as well.
Thanks for the info :victory:

maybe it might work in the future exploits
Hey guys,
Hopefully this thread continues to grow for the LG G stylo Cricket version (h634). I'd like some help and would really appreciate it. I currently have the latest updated LG G Stylo Cricket version and would like to know a few things:
•*What is the safest and successful root procedure? I've heard too many bricking issues, so I am afraid to just jump into it. My software version is the latest, which is the H63410g version
•*Is there any actual factory restore available? I came across this thread and not sure how accurate or valid it is: http://www.mylgphones.com/cricket-l...are-how-to-unbrick-restore-back-to-stock.html
The main developer on a original site said to please not share freely, but if it works, I really do feel everyone with a bricked device should donate for his hard work and help. Its a paperweight + having to buy another $150+ device vs $10 + supporting passionate developers.
• Why do people insist on using super su instead of just keeping kingroot? Isn't kingroot enough for root?
•*What is the best way to modify the lg g stylo to force the system to automatically use the external sd storage for all media including apps, cache, etc.
Really appreciate an insight here. This low memory storage on the lg g stylo cricket version (8gb) is ridiculous and impossible to work with without worrying about low storage issues/errors
Please advise, thanks guys.
I just rooted my h63410g with kingroot. It says that it's not recomended but hit the proceed anyway and it'll work.
I only did 30mins of research and realized DO NOT USE SUPER SU. IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE. just use kingroot for su.
I havnt done any bloatware removal yet but everyone says that the paid version of link2sd is the way to go.
The link you shared with the stock firmware is password protected and none of the comments can confirm it works. Hopefully it does tho!
I have an LG G3 VS985 for Verizon. Since I am not directly on Verizon's service I can't receive the updates OTA. I am currently still on 4.4.2. What I am trying to figure out is if there is a way to just install the updates through my PC instead but maybe without having to root the phone. I have found this guide that says it upgrades the phone to marshmallow but I don't want to do it if it will mess my phone up going from 4.4.2 to 6.0. If anyone has any suggestions to help me with this that would be great or if anyone thinks that guide will work just fine please let me know.
The guide I saw online is here: mylgphones.com/how-to-flash-android-6-0-m-stock-firmware-on-lg-vs985-using-lg-up-software
If you don't have any suggestions on how to do it without root then go ahead and let me know of a good root and rom to use that you'd suggest and I will check it out. Thanks!
