I've been hearing mixed responses, so I wanted to see if anyone knew what I should do to root my phone. I just purchased it used with 20f on lollipop installed, and I'm trying to root it. Are there any methods available now? If so, could you please link me? Thanks!
I wanted to to tinker around. However, on my first try, this worked: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951

You need to read the very first thread in this sub-forum.

ive been trying to root my recently updated 2.3.6 skyrocket and just cant seem to get it.
i was on 2.3.5 and rooted lat week, performed the OTA 2.3.6 update and lost root (didnt install rootkeeper)
ive tried all the methods and none of them work. ive tried
S2root
SuperOneClick2.3.3
V4Zergrush
and none of them work.
ive tried searching the entire forum for Root 2.3.6 on the latest OTA and cant find anything.
i can only find root options for the OLD 2.3.6 that was released months ago and retracted by AT&T.
is the latest 2.3.6 not possible to root yet?

Use Odin (link posted above). Follow the instructions VERY CAREFULLY. Do not check re-partition or you will brick.
Good luck!
i dont want CWM though.
my last root process i was able to root and retain stock recovery image so that i would have no issues with future OTA updates.
is rooting no longer possible with out having to flash CWM now?

I didn't get the OTA but have been running Silver's LA3 rom, so I haven't tried to root from stock LA3.
But I guess I'm puzzled as to why you wouldn't want cwm...
At any rate, if you really want stock recovery you can flash it back in Odin by downloading the stock 3e recovery from seanzscreams thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446566&highlight=fix+fc+s (you wouldn't need to follow all the instruction there for your purposes, but you can get the 3e recovery to flash back). Just download and unzip the file there. Stock recovery is in the zip.
I've seen the low-effort root instructions for the G4 running 10G. I have an AT&T (H810) G4 running 10I. Is it possible for me to root at this point, or is it still being developed? Is there a way to roll back to 10G so I can use the low-effort method?

Next time search around a little..
I downloaded the .img file from the link you mentioned now how do I flash it. All the methods i've found for flashng .img files require root already or are specific to older build numbers. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Download rasher app from play store n flash .img
Thanks for the reply. Rasher says it requires root. This .img is to gain root aaccess and is currently the only root option. I'll try rasher when i get home but im not hopeful. What would be the common method to flash this .img to an unrooted stock LG G4 with h81010i firmware. Thanks.
Rasher was a fail. How do people normally install a .img file?
Hi,
I have a Note edge N915W8 which i updated to 5.1.1 the moment it became available on Sammobile (big mistake). as everyone knows, i lost root in the process. And no root availble at this time.
Important history of the phone:
I acquired the device from a friend that had rooted it when it was in its original stock 4..4.4 config. He then tried to flash a custom rom which ended up in a bootloop which he was unable to recover from because there wasn't a stock rom available at the time. Long story short, I ended up with a bootlooped Note Edge and after a week i managed to acquire someones backup zip from XDA -- which i then used to free my device from the loop and function properly with root.
I got too eager and flashed the 5.1.1 without reading up on it and lost root.
So, i was hoping there would be a way or method that i could use that would allow me to use that same custom recovery backup of 4.4.4, only this time be able to flash it through odin on my stock 5.1.1
Any advice would help.
Thanks
From what I know once you take 5.1 update you cant backroll to 4.4.4.
BOOTLOADER was patch'd BY the GREATS to throw another wrech in our plans!
And also I do blv there is ROOT for 5.1 but it trips knox & you have to install twrp thru Odin then flash SUPERSU & BEASTMODE Kernel that allows root and then take root

No I cant get Twrp 2 flash thru Odin as md5 everything I download comes out as IMG & that does me no good
I know this a stupid question but i really dont know, and i searched google and here and couldnt find an answer
Please help me
Basically you start from downgrading your tablet to 4.4 version via ODIN it's an app to manage flashing rom's to android devices. After you have downgraded you run towelroot. After this you get FireFly app to install current version. While preserving root. Ah, you will need to get wirmwares go to sammobile.com
I have successfully rooted my SM-P905 with Lollipop for like a month now. The procedure is the same as in KitKat.
You flash the Lollipop firmware, you flash latest TWRP and then the SuperSU flashable zip. Now I 'am using the latest SuperSU beta 2.49 since an app that I use (Button Pro) requires it. But also the stable release SuperSU 2.46 worked.
I didn't use CF Autoroot.
Could you explain better all the passages to root lollipop and where get all the files needed, thanks in advice!
Can someone please link me a rooted boot img that actually works with the latest OTA sprint update? If not are their any other rooting alternatives?
