WARNINGS & DISCLAIMERS​
Proceed with caution and at your own risk - I am not responsible if your phone self destructs, gets bricked, or melts.
Please keep in mind that both these methods will yield ROOT only - as of know there is no way to unlock bootloader on AT&T
Rooting and any other modifications to your phone will void your warranty - do not root if you do not know what you are doing.
Rooted devices will not be able to receive OTA updates. You may have to unroot and restore stock in order to accept updates.​
How to check if you tripped the root counter
Once your device is rooted via either method - the device secret service menu will show that you are rooted.
To check:
1. Go to dialer
2. enter 3845#*850#
3. Scroll to and click on LG RCT
4. click Display Results
Here you will see that it shows the device is rooted
Once the device is unrooted - the setting will be reset to No Root

How to Remove Bloatware on you newly rooted AT&T LG G3
How to unroot your LG G3 and return back to stock
My G3 from AT&T is on order and should be in my hands in a week or so. What firmware version comes with the phone out of the box? Should I root immediately to avoid any patches from being installed?
My reason for asking is based on my experience with the Moto X. I realized too late that accepting the standard upgrade to 4.4.2 via OTA would eliminate any chance of rooting. I want to make sure that I don't fall into that trap again.

The current root-able firmware is 10D - Software Version: D85010d
Why not - better safe than sorry...

Are there any warranty software's like Samsung's Knox on this device? If so does rooting with towel root trip it?

According to a friend of mine, towelroot will not trip the QFuse, only the root counter. If you read post #2 on this thread that issue is addressed.

QFuse will only be tripped if the recovery or rom is changed... The root counter will reset to No Root if you use the unroot method I posted

Does it also remove the line about the first time you rooted? Also, when you say Rom is changed does that mean debloating/removing carrieriq/using xposed will trip it?

I rooted the phone using towel root - used Root Explorer to uninstall Bloat - installed Xposed and G3 TweakBox... then I checked to root checker in the hidden menu and it showed that it was rooted but the QFUSE was intact... then I unrooted using the method i posted.. Not only was the phone unrooted, traces of xposed installation were removed, and the root check in the hidden menu showed No Root with no additional information - also the QFUSE was still intact.
This is my experience and I have tested it twice. However... as always... Your mileage may vary...
Many thanks. I hate to sound like anoob, but this lg is new to me (coming from a gs3 where I avoided Knox counters until I sold the phone).
Working here. Thanks!
So let me ask you guys/gals is the bootloader locked than? Just need to find out before I go purchasing this phone through AT&T, thanks.

The bootloader is locked... Although you can root and install xposed, run root apps, and Debloat it's not likely that the bootloader will be unlocked anytime soon... So no custom recovery and no rooms.

I figured thanks for the quick response! I'm better off going with Korean version.
Is one of the methods better than the other? Just trying to decide which one to go with. Thanks
noticed when i run either root method SuperSU is not installed after. when i verify root under the the 2nd post, it says Rooted, Not allowed command has been excuted >su Rooting related file had been installed >su >superuser

That's normal... Once you unroot the warning goes away and is cleared

What about flashing recovery? Not to sure how to get twarp on this
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I don't think twrp is ready for this.
I want to root my note edge SM-N915G (which i recently updated to marshmallow (officially - using system auto update)) using CF auto root. I have been reading tutorials on the internet on how to use it. It says to download the right Files first from the autoroot.chainfire.eu site.
but the one for the SM-N915G (android 6.0.1) has a build number of MMB29M.N915GXXS1DPH3 while the one on my phone is MMB29M.N915GXXU1DPG6. is that ok?
they also have a warning about this:
UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS
If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device - with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically "OEM unlock" and wipe your data !
is it safe for me to root my phone, or i have to fulfill some prerequisites first?? thanks
I got the same model as well, did you manage to find the right files? Really want to try viper 4 Android

I think the method on the link you provided will work (cant try it though because my phone is currently bricked)
The one that bricked my phone is when i use the cf auto root using the files on there site .. i think the problem is about locked bootloader on android m .. not sure though. . I will definitely try the method in the link you provided after my phone is fixed

Once you trip Knox, you cannot un-trip it. At all.

You can use custome roms to gain access to shealth.
Im using Noble nougat 4.0 s8 port, and works great.
Hi.
You still can use SHealt
This is how (of course you need root access) lint to post
Sorry but you can forget to use Knox after you tripped Knox flag.
Try root with Magisk - this allow you to "hide" root from some apps.
PS
Sometimes root is not a bad thing...
Setting ro.config.tima to 0 fixes SHealth. For the Samsung login you'll need to read this, https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71566173&postcount=6

Flash stock recovery after that your device will return to official state then you will be able to check or upgrade via OTA.
I have given up on customizing Android and flashed stock firmware from sammobile, now I can't open the S health app. A pop up shows "Your device has been compromised. Because of a new security policy introduced in version 5.0, Knox is not available on compromised devices. (0x110020521) I downloaded and ran root checker and it shows the phone is not rooted. Is there any way I can get rid of this without rooting again?

You need to edit the build.prop
Look for ro.config.tima and change the "1" to a "0".
You can either use a app like root explorer or BuildProp Editor.
You will have to root to fix this as it is using Knox to detect the past root/recovery flash.
Once you trip knox with twrp / root you can undo that.
Rooting alone shouldnt be giving you any trouble?
What problems were you having that made you want to go stock with no root?

SElinux is a system property , you will need root to modify it.
If you decide to root you're device to modify SElinux , there's an app to change that created by the recognized Contributor Ibuprophen available on XDA Labs
Link here :

Not at all , you just need to unlock your bootloader and flash TWRP or a custom recovery on your phone.
Learn more by browsing XDA
i know that... the thing is my bootloader is unlocked but u can't access computer anymore cs my usb port is broken so i nead to root to flash custom recovery

To be honest, you're probably wasting your time, fix the USB port, that is probably your only solution, whether you like it or not.
The only other possible option is to use one of the universal rooting apps such as Kingroot or similar app. Or use one of the programs for PC that is made to root android devices, such as Kingroot for PC or Kingo-root.
