Hello, I'm a big Android fan but I never really understood how to root a phone. I currently own a LG G3 D855 right now.
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c1.13-00009-M8974AAAAANPZM-1.01701338.5067.1
Kernel Version: 3.4.0
Build Number: KVT49L.A1420760443
Software Version: V10o-HKG-XX
As you can see, I have a Hong Kong Variant but i want to get lollipop on it as soon as possible.
I was wondering if the HKG variant differs from the European variants.
Ultimately, I want to learn how to root my G3 to install lollipop without high risks.
Any guidance would be much appreciated since I'm new to this kind of field. Thanks.

Hi xda, I just bought a new lg g3 from T-Mobile running android version 5.0.1. I need help rooting this phone without bricking my device, I am afraid to do it own my own because my last became hard-bricked. (P.s. If this is any help I will leave more phone information below)

Hi
Please check this thread: Newest Root Method for LG devices
Use the second method if the one-click script doesn't work.
Good luck.
PLEASE do not respond with all of the methods listed here. I have tried them all. USB debug with the download this, unzip that, com port 41, towelroot, kingo, stumproot... you name it, I HAVE TRIED IT... no success... I am unfortunately stuck on verizon's WONDERFUL new jail cell of a software, android 5.1.1 otherwise known as the dreaded VS98535B.. I cannot figure out how to root, downgrade, flash or anything. I will attach a screenshot of the software 411 with this thread. ANY IDEAS are very much welcome and appreciated...
Also having the same issue with my LG tablet also (fortunately it isn't a verizon product). The tablet is the LG V700 Gpad 10.1. I will also attach a screenshot of its' software info as well. cannot figure out a root for it either and have employed all of the above mentioned methods.
What really suck, both the phone and the tablet were rooted before the upgrades rendered them paperweights...
HMM, can't attach images.... info for each device is as follows:
Verizon VS98535B android 5.1.1 (Verizon LG G3)

Hello there! I have been trying to find a working root / update for my model for quite a while now but I cannot
find anything that would work with my model... The numbers are always different from those that uploaders say
it works on. Can you help me root my phone and find a working update since there was no official update for my
country (Slovenia) for Lollipop. It can be a custom ROM too, I don' care as long as it will run faster than current version
which is preinstalled with a lot of crap and runs slow. Here are the details:
Model number: G7-L01
Android version: 4.4.4
EMUI version: 3.0
Baseband version: 11060009
Build number: G7-L01V100R001C00B263
Custom version: CUSTC432D001
Thank you for your time!

Not sure where else to post this.
As the title suggests, I'm currently using an LG K4 K121 (Canadian). Runnin android 5.1.1 with the stock LG K12110f firmware.
So far I'm deeply regretting switching from Samsung to LG. I haven't had any luck rooting my last few phones.
The Galaxy SIII back in 2013 was a breeze.
So far, the G3, G4 and K4 have been a b***h.
Is there a method for rooting and flashing TWRP?
Please tell me it's possible.
I know the feeling
I've had Samsung's all my life and I got a great deal on this LG K4 / k121 the deal went away after putting a boat 4 days of work into trying to root it and every YouTube video you watch is the same thing download kingroot install kingroot there's got to be some type of permission privilege settings that we can disable I have no idea I've always had rooted phones and I want to keep her because if not you get crap apps anyway if you find anything host away
