Can i root my lg g3 30n-EUR-XX
This rooting method does not work on Build “V30n-EUU-XX”,
And there’s still no rooting method found any where on the web for this Android 6.0 version.
This is the device build that has the most important number of requests on the web. For now it has not been broken by any method. Visibly this “V30n” only support flashing original LG firmware, only via secured OTA, or via USB with USB debugging enabled (this enables an ADB “shell” but the shell in the builtin firmware is NOT a busybox but accepts only some commands requring an unknown authorization key (not published by LG, and only working with the device Unique ID) to acept running and installing a firmware digitally signed by LG.
LG reveals these passwords only to OEM integrators (telecom sellers).
The ADB shell then does not work for anything else than debugging apps in user mode, there’s no busybox at all inside accessible from ADB. And visibly this ADB shell is also protected by the builtin preinstallation of “McAfee Mobile Antivirus” (which cannot be uninstalled, and not even be disabled) and by a sandboxing in a virtual root hiding completely the true root of the device.
Kingroot does not work if you bought the device independantly from an independant seller (without any bundled subscription to a mobile service). Even if we entirely own the phone, LG refuses to give us the root access.
I tried all versions of Kingroot, this does not work at all. All other rooting methods tried have failed. Other vendors that pretend they will root the phone by accepting paid orders are actually lying ! There’s actually NO known rooting method (only LG Electronics knows how to flash and sign any other firmware that will be flashable).
Visibly the preinstallation of McAfee has efficiently protected all other known access methods using exploits found in preinstalled apps (such as the builtin browser, or cloud connectors, or media players, or in the junk LG apps, including in the junk LG appstore). Nobody has found any exploit using open ports from the Internet: the firewall on that device is well configured and blocks everything (except communications to remote LG servers that pass encrypted data without any prior authorization from us).
You are right Sir …
I downloaded the latest version of kingroot app from internet but it can’t root says root strategy unavailable and takes me to check request queue (btw kingroot app says this every time for many days despite repeated trying to root infact since one month and despite repeated check requests queue) in the first process after copyng HacerPermisivo.zip and AutoRecMMD855.apk in my lg g3 d855 stock marshmallow 6.0 v30b-sea-xx,why ?
Try older versions of Kingroot too.

this does not work on an LG G3 D852.. KingRoot doesnt support this device
Hi, Kingroot doesn’t work on D852. If you want to root your phone, downgrade to Lollipop by installing the KDZ: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G3%2FStock%2FCanada+D852%2F
Guide: https://www.droidviews.com/install-marshmallow-kdz-lg-g3-d855-using-flash-tool/
Then root your phone on Lollipop and install a rooted Marshmallow ROM.
I had the lg g3 rooted with version 5.1. I almost had to upgrade to version 6 this ‘Marshmallow’. The root was lost. And there is no way …. nor with the kingrot.
Boot Loader is taking alot of time and after 10 mins it’s still here … What should I do .. ?

Make a backup in twrp because you will get a bootloop after flashing supersu
I didn’t get any bootloop
how can i back up first, im not confident and dont want to mess up, how much risk is there?
why do i need twrp? i just want root to download apps ect
Yes you need twrp for backup your os
I can’t go to recovey, now what?
Does this work with V30c-EUR-xx
Got to step 5 but it didn’t reboot into recovery mode so I tried doing it manually by powering down then holding power+volume down but It won’t get into recovery mode. I just have a black screen and the notification light blinking blue and red.
I really need help!
remove the battery

D855 user here KingRoot is not working.
I am F400l user and king root not working, autorec mm requeres d855, need root for f400 pls
Does not work. After flashing SuperUser twice it just never gets installed although it says ok.
What does Hacer Permisivo… actually do?
Can you link info on this app?
It’s weird. Redownload the file and try again.
Download twice but sill the issue was same then i noticed it says fail when i click on check verification signature otherewise it doesn’t show any failed msg .. But anyways your artical helped me to get M Update as well as helped me to get it rooted successfully thanks for this fokat k samaj seva
May this work with F400K model too?
The procedure will work,but you will have to find out the correct TWRP version for your device first.
I found one on XDA. Which steps do I need to alter for the F400K?
Give me the thread link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65334155&postcount=17 Thanks a lot for your help!
Hi, you can install the bump’d TWRP image using ADB commands as shown here: https://www.droidviews.com/install-twrp-recovery-on-lg-g3-all-variants-using-bump/
However, you will need to root your LG G3 first for that.
Thanks! I can root my device with the steps from this post?
It’s weird. Redownload the file and try again.
This guide is very helpful after I hard bricked my phone and had it Jtag’d. After that incident, it made me very hesitant to have it rooted again but when I saw this guide I thought I’d go for it one more time. Now I was able to root my phone and flashed a new ROM without a problem. Thank you very much! Cheers!
Thanks for the appreciation!
After a fail in a MM encryption process, this was the only method that worked for me to be able to flash another MM custom ROM. Thank you very much!!!
When I try getting into recovery mode with the buttons I get factory reset mode, and if I try using adb (adb reboot recovery), I get a dead android with red ! Triangle over it.
Hi, I have updated the guide. Please try again. It will work now.
When in factory reset mode select ‘YES’ ONLY IF YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A RECOVERY INSTALLED. Then confirm again ‘YES’ then it will boot into recovery.
A bit scary first time but its ok.
Are you sure is that available “Install” feature in stock recovery?
Please try the tutorial now. It had some things missing earlier.
Oh really? Did you try it ? Of course you didn’t you just post shit articles copied from other shit websites. To be able to flash twrp you need to unlock the bootloader.
how can i install twrp if i’m still not rooted?
Root required to install twrp to install superSu to be rooted …
