Yes. It works great. Super easy.
There is a thread in the dev section with months of discussion about it if you have any questions. You will find any answers about it there.

Thanks. Sorry for the late reply..

I mean I would download all my flashing files from XDA if possible just because you know what you are getting. But if you trust those other sites then yeah...go for it
Sent from your phone. You should be more careful where you leave that thing.

Nevermind.

I rooted yesterday
Was really easy. Im just a little bit carefull when it comes to rooting a new phone. Soo i always check here before i root stuff.. Mostly phones.
Just dont know how i can install clockwork mod recovery. Its not supported with my phone yet...
And i have bought the app long ago. Ill have to wait. Its very easy and smooth to flash custom room with that app. You dont even need a computer for it.
Anyways. Thanks. I got root now.

..
*bump*
Will the first link in this old thread still work?
http://techglen.com/2013/10/06/root-samsung-galaxy-s4-one-click-versions-guide/
My phone was perfect before. Broke, repaired, and i need CM, and all.
Thinkning about flashing a recovery and go from there. Just reading a bit now.
But, if this still works, then it would be nice.
But now im running.
4.4.2
KOT49H.I9505XXUGNJ3
I9505XXUGNJ3
(When they wiped my perfectly set up phone, and installed that original samsung rom.)
...
Dont wanna mess up something, and this bootloader thingy. Dont know if its locked or unlocked. I got this knox app on my samsung bloatware original firmware right now.
Thanks

Can't root phone with latest update

My son updated his phone last night with the OTA 4.3 update. He asked me to root it this morning, and it fails every time. It seems that Lookout is stopping it. I disabled lookout, but it seems to be integrated in the new software. I tried every method on this forum. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.

There are also several other threads on the front couple of pages of the General and Q&A sections but you will need to read to find them. Good luck.

So by the looks of it, Im screwed.. Damn.

Gentlemen, is their a rooting solution that is definitive?

cf auto root works on rogers, but you'll trip the knox flag. if you dont use active sync (exchange) then you may not care. can still root and run custom recoveries on rogers. Just typed up a bunch of crap on knox, so not getting in to it again, but if I were you, i'd wait for a confirmed knox safe method.

Yeah, I'm not sure why everyone is so pissy on XDA.

Vroot can be discussed just no links as stated... There are other threads regarding all this as stated by Scott. Please read and abide by the rules... Thank you...

Very Urgent

I m sorry to disturb but I m in need of 4 stock files from stock 4.3.
I have by mistake flashed a inverted playstore zip on my stock 4.3 odex rom and now I'm getting an com.process.gapps stopped error.
If anyone can provide me the 4 files I will be indebted to them.
They are
Google Playstore and its odex file
Google Service Framewok and its odex file.
I can create a flashable zip but i dont have the firmware as i bought this mobile yesterday.
I m outside of town and this is 12:29 am already and i need to call my family.
Please if anyone can help me.
I am already downloading the odin flashable stock rom and a custom rom already but it will take more 6 hrs to do that and i need to call my family. Please a little help

I will not ask for anything again in my life

Can anyone help me out????:crying::crying::crying::crying:

Anyone????:crying::crying::crying:

Lost my hopes. Just fed up.
This is how people really are on xda.
No one to help. No one to care. No one feels.
Just broke my heart.

Get out of here, your attitude is ridiculous and ungrateful, people aren't going to rush themselves to answer your questions, and I'll bet you didn't even bother searching yourself. XDA isn't a troubleshooting forum, it's for development, and especially a friendly and grateful atmosphere, neither of which you have adhered to, so click 'log off' and piss off someone else on another forum.

NOBODY is obliged to help anyone, you ungrateful $^*#@ !!
If you are stpd enough to flash something before thinking, you will be stuck where you are.
And with this attitude you can just remove your xda account all together.
It surely did not crossed your mind, maybe nobody have files you need?
good luck

Heart broken hey. Go to sammobile and download the stock firmware from there.

Thx for your answers already.
Keep up the good wrok.
p.s. Plz don't say go back to kitkat root and install rom with lollipop and root --- we ask for the root of the official lollipop, thx.

I agree too. I would like to

I Agree.

Eta's are the biggest no-no on this site. These developers do this stuff out of the kindness of their hearts, aside from jobs and families. Asking for a time frame for any sort of development is a huge slap in the face of the devs. With that being said, all you can do is what you said already, go back to kit kat and flash a rooted lollipop rom, and be patient with the devs, as this is not their job.

Plz read before you answer.. We asked not to say about Roms and staff..
And ppl dont need axcact date only if it will take 1 to 2 months or 6-year, so is not excact date.

Not sure what you meant by that, but you clearly asked for an eta of a root method. The only way you can have rooted lollipop is to downgrade and flash like you mentioned, and wait patiently for something to come up.

No, no one knows the time.
But it's definitely not before G4 is released. If there is a root exploit for LL, it lies in LG's services, and it would most likely apply to all LG phones running 5.0. Releasing something like that before the release of G4 and other 5.0 phones is a bad idea.

No ETA, period. Bye bye now.

I don't think there would be further development on root on g3, (same w/ the bootloader) as we have already a working custom recovery... Just my opinion though... [emoji4]

Root Is Possible!
Hi Friends,
I am a fairly new owner of a D858HK (dual-SIM) variant of the LG G3. An update to Lollipop came in so I got interested.
Focusing instead on getting root and "bump'd" TWRP (custom recovery), I figured it out through the help of @autoprime and his thread.
I know there are a lot of developers who are able to "tear down" the official Lollipop firmware, pre-root it, and repackage/distribute it, however, the D858HK variant is not as widespread as the D855 so I had very little hopes for custom ROMs. So I documented everything that I have learned through reading the relevant threads, tested it on my LG G3 variant (with 100% success rate), and put up a thread to share it. You can check it here: click me!
I'm interested to know if this will work with other LG G3 variants. If it does, please let me know.
In the meantime, this finding got me interested in learning more. I'll probably start with the easy ones like pre-rooting and repackaging the stock firmware. Who knows, I might eventually progress to where I can modify/create a ROM (that's ambitious, but not impossible).

Nice guide!
This will work with any phone.
You can easily create a flashable zip and share it for you fellow d856/857/858HK users.
Just take META-INF (updater-script) from robalm's zip, bump boot.img, substitute d855 images with 858 ones, and voila! You have a repacked 858 stock rom.

Well ETA stands for Estimated time of arrival not exact time of arrival so what you are asking for is an eta!! we would all love to get some info on the root for lollipop but keep it cool man. you dont have any developer here on your payroll so if they say don't bother them about ETAs then you better get a glass of tequila and chill out. and hope and pray for ETA. or better still swap your g3 for a nexus.

Root available for LL

You can root. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3050179
