Searching for the answer it seems like I have to have root. I can't believe how hard they locked down this phone.

Okay. So I've decided that I wanted to root my SPRINT LG G3. The only legit method I've found was STUMP, which claims that my Phone is patched. Since I've never encountered this problem before, I have no knowledge of how I can upatch it. I've tried looking for other root methods but found nothing compatible with the LS990 LG G3. Do you guys know any other root methods, or a way to unpatch(Provided with links please.)?
Hi,
You can review this thread, especially the first post. Lots of info. It seems that's your only root method. As far as undoing stump, You'd need to ask in the Stump thread about that.

Good luck!
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

Hmm ... I am not sure if I have understood your question correctly.
You want to unroot your old phone?
If yes, then install SuperSU app (e.g. from Play store), open it and select the complete unroot option.
Or you have unrooted it already and want to root it again?
Then check this thread: [Root] Alcatel One Touch Fierce.
Or you just want to get a confirmation that you should get your sister's phone?
Yes, the LG L90 is a nice device ... see its forum on xda here: LG Optimus L90.
And you can root it easily ... like described here: [GUIDE][ROOT] Root your LG L40/L70/L90/G2 mini!.
it is unrooted. but.
When I go trade in will there be anything to tell its rooted? I might root that lg l90 but I don't want T-Mobile not taking back the phone if something goes wrong. I accidentally did a ota update and now I can't access my settings on the Alcatel. (I accidentally updated while still rooted.) I factory reset(recovery mode ftw) but I'm stuck in the sett up menu I can't get past language with the notification "unfortunately settings has stopped" but I can still use Google now cards and I got to play store and got some launcher(cm) and I use that but I can't access settings no matter what.

I'm still not sure if I understood what you want to do.
You void your warranty (depending on your country/carrier specific rules) already by rooting it.
Installing the OTA update might have unrooted the phone automatically.
I assume that manually flashing an official/stock firmware will be the best way to "prepare" it for a new user.
Please check the threads I linked in my previous post and ask there.
Thanks for your understanding. Thread closed.
[edit]Solved[edit]Hello i seem to have a more or less unique problem, or possibly one that has allready been answered so many times i can not seem to find it on google?
so the problem.
I have a optimus f6 (the d505 version) wich i have sort of succesfully rooted about 3 years ago, problem is i seem to remember soft bricking it and then reflashing it with something called lg flash tool? and needing to unlock the bootloader in order to un-brick it. After wich i used Kingo for rooting and everything worked like a charm ever since.
here is where the problem starts, right now i want to sell it, and i have a client to sell it to, problem is the guy needs his banking app to work. And after un-rooting it with the same app, and then doing a factory reset, the banking app still recognises the phone as rooted, and to make matters worse even the OTA update fails because of the same reason. Now i think the problem is with the bootloader being unlocked, i can think of no other reason why the apps think it is still rooted, i can re-root and re-unroot with kingo at any time and every function of the phone and the root acces seems to work. When un-rooted every root detection app i have tried from google play tells me the phone is not rooted, exept the fore-mentioned OTA and banking app.
My plan is to re-flash the allready updated basic rom, wich i got as a kdz file from a site called lg-roms.com( it does appear to have the correct phone version and carrier, i did a imei verification) and then use fastboot to re-lock the bootloader.
My question is since I am sort of a noob with theese sorts of things, will this solve my problem, aka will it remove all traces of root, i would like to know since i risk bricking it anyway i want to know if i can get any sort of results
[edit] So ya i really doubt anyone will have this specific problem, however if you do, i managed to solve it by flashing stock and locking the bootloader with fastboot, problem seems to have been originating from there
Hello everyone,
I just made the switch from Apple to Android, and I have been looking into rooting my phone. Unfortunately, I can not find any way to get this phone to be rooted. I've tried Kingroot and looking for the firmware, but I can't seem to find it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting this thing rooted? Or explain why it can/can't be rooted? The searching for answers is making my head spin.
J727vpp root
I ha d a friend that had a black sm-j727vpp and he was able to root it using magisk and a file he downloaded from xda. I read a while back that the phone has a flexible bootloader. Ive been searching but haven't been able to find the file on the site anymore..
Have you tried the current magisk?
