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!

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
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?

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.

Thanks for the info :victory:

I have an AT&T Galaxy Tab E (SM-T377A) and I need to root it, but I haven't been able to find any guides or .tar files to flash. I have found guides for the sprint version (SM-T377P), but I'm afraid that will screw something up if I try it.
Is it even possible?
Thanks for the help.
Not that I'm any help...
But I've got the same device and up against the same issue. I read on TECH Advisors web page and it suggested stumproot.org to root it. But I installed it and followed all the instructions but says my device isn't supported. So I believe our devices are too new....hope you find a way though and if so please let me know.
I'd like to know if there 's a way to root it, I recall seening a thread where you would have to downgrade to LP just to get it rooted, but that comes with risk and I like the marshmallow rom much better, so I hope that there's a way soon
Hello in here! I've gotten a LG V10 H900 AT&T Variant phone that came with Lolipop. Seeking root, I successfully flashed a stock ROM coocked by sir @tungkick from XDA-Developers forum. It worked like a charm and I got root and used my phone smoothly for almost one year and plus without any problem. One day, it happened that I can't get internet although the SIM card is inside and well placed and internet data activated. It will just come by itself after and everything will work great. I then decided to fix it and decided to flash a Marshmallow stock ROM; what I did and everything starts!
1- I need to unlock the bootloader but I can't find any way for that. I'm wondering wether there is a 100% working method using a flashing box.
Whenether I tried fastboot method, the device will not be detected.
2- Is there a 100% working method to downgrade to lolipop? I think this will be the best thing for me to do to still feel my phone.
If yes, how to deal with it, please?
3- Up to today, which is the most stable version I can flash and get root apart from lolipop?
Thanks in advance for your help.
