First - want to thank ALL THE DEVs that put in who knows how much time and effort to make us users happy!!!
My phone:
LG G3 running android 5.0.1 on VZW
Build: LRX21Y
Software Version: VS985 23C
I got this phone off Ebay, as I wanted to keep the unlimited data plan through VZW and also wanted a more updated phone that could be rooted. I am replacing a Razr HD that I had rooted, but that phone was so underpowered it was crazy. Anyhow, I gathered all the root methods and tried to make sense of it all; apparently there has been an explosion of smartphones over the last few years.......... First two days I thought this phone could not be rooted, but I started to see some important parts in these forums related to build numbers, software versions, and android versions, and what root methods seemed to work best, or not at all. What eventually worked for me was getting the right USB drivers for the LG G3 for my Win-7 system. The older driver actually worked for me, the LG VZW United WHQL v2.14.1 - I was then able to at least get the One-Click root to see my device, but I did have to connect/reconnect a few times, and also had to do this procedure twice - the first time the device rebooted back to login and not the download mode. I saw where some were saying you needed to switch between PTP an MTP, but I found that once you found the right one (Think that was MTP) you could just disconnect the USB and reconnect. After the second reboot using One-Click root, the device did go into the download mode and finished the root process. Did a root verification and that confirmed the phone is rooted properly.
I swapped the SIM this morning into the LG G3 and powered on and still have root; however, Verizon is bugging me to update the system software and I am delaying that until I get some clarity on WHAT is getting upgraded, and if I will still have root afterwards (I'm thinking probably not), or if there is a way to "protect" the root I currently have on the device before I do the system upgrade from VZW.
I was hoping someone(s) here who understand more about the VZW upgrades and how that affects root on the LG G3s. THANKS!!!:cool:
