Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
I see there are three options to root the G3, and the other two seem to require a PC. You can borrow the use of one, be it a friend, or a computer at a library or community centre (the ones I worked at used Deep Freeze to protect it, which allowed to install anything without risking the PC - just reboot once done).
There may be more options than that, so please go ahead and create an account, and from there you can post in other forums. But the thread of interest right now is the [FAQ][HELP THREAD] LG G3 | Ask any question | FAQ in first post [Noob Friendly] thread of the > LG G3 > G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

Hi,
You will need to ask for help here,
> LG G3 > G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [FAQ][HELP THREAD] LG G3 | Ask any question | FAQ in first post [Noob Friendly]
You will likely need a computer to do this though.
Any future questions about your device should be asked in the thread above.
Good luck!
I had rooted the LG G3 D855 a while ago and I wanted to get the lollipop update so I unrooted the phone and tried to update it but it didn't work. After that I said since I did that why don't I go to lollipop so I found a rom here on XDA that worked. I downloaded the files but realized I needed root again and searched for a way to root it. Long story short I tried both root programs there and after a factory reset I am left with no home screen at all, no keyboard, and no way to launch almost any app. Is there any way to install a rom without root?
Hi,
You don't need root to flash roms... What you need is a custom recovery.
Here is a dedicated help thread in your device section that you can ask for help in,

Good luck!
So I've been running around a while trying to figure out what root tools will work to root this latest update. Looking to eventually flash Cyanogenmod onto it. To make matters more difficult, I'm also using a Mac. Would be great if there was an APK I could download directly onto my phone, but will settle for a tool that I can use on my mac. Thanks a bunch guys!
Hi there,
You'd be best served asking for help from the experts who own your device, here but first register an account on XDA:

Al;so you can see this method: [ROOT][IOroot] LG G3 4.4.2 Jailbreak [D850|D855|F400|VS985][Yahooo!]
Good luck
Hi everyone!
Recently, I wanted to install an unofficial version of CM12 on my LG G3, but I didn't know how to. My friend said that he was an "expert" at these sort of things, so I trusted him with my phone. Clearly not a good idea, as he returned my phone to me saying it ran out of battery and he can't charge it for me or something. (What he meant is that he broke the damn phone) I was wondering if anyone can help me unbrick my phone? If anyone can help, that be fabulous.
Phone details:
- LG G3 D852 (Canadian Variant)
- Presumably hard-bricked
- Won't turn on, black screen
- Download mode/fastboot mode are not options, I can't get into either
- When connecting to a pc, the noise where a usb is plugged in plays, no file explorer, and it says "qhsusb_bulk"
- Was bricked while a friend was trying to install an unofficial version of CM12, which clearly went wrong.
Eddie from Canada (eh?)

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Does not look there is a LG G Vista forum, but you would be better off creating an account anyway. There is a [Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly] thread in the > Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum that should have someone able to help out (there may be what's called a "kmz" package that you could load in download mode that will bring the device back to factory state). For visibility of your question, you could even ask in the [Q] LG G Vista - Root Request thread, as the question is root-related.
Hope this helps, and Good luck!
