Root Verizon LG G3 root.

Is it possible to root the Verizon version?

Last I heard, Stump Root was working on vzw. May require using the brute force option provided in the app, not sure.

Is there any way to update to 4.4.4, and change it to a google play edition?

is there a way to unlock the bootloader?

then how can you root?

then how can you root?

By way of an exploit in the stock recovery which allows update via adb.

Thanks, but what about when LG G3 gets the android 4.4.4, will they fix this to where it will work with that version?

Who knows. There's some speculation the G2 will skip 4.4.4 and go straight to "L".

Stump no longer works. my phone got a system update last night and i just tried that method today, and it says 'device is patched, sorry' and offers no other method, not brute force not nothing.

You can kdz back to 10b, re-root/bump, then either apply modem/boot/sys .IMG files from 11c, or flash one of the 11c-based ROMs. Here is the thread on using kdz to get back to 10b: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2928140


Make sure to freeze "System updates" to not run into this again. Otherwise, rename the LGDMSClient apk and odex files in system/apps, add a .bak to the end.

So there is no Verizon ROM for 4.4.4? My phone keeps asking me to update, but I don't want to lose root. And can I unroot with stumproot?

 

[markfm]

Not that I've heard of. General consensus is the 11c modem does seem to run a bit better, so worth installing, even if you don't want to bother with boot or system.

Well how do you unroot?

 

[markfm]

I didn't unroot. Starting from rooted and bumped 10b, I applied the individual modem.img, boot.IMG, and system. IMG files from 11c. It's also entirely okay to just install the modem.IMG, to just gain the improvement on the radio side.
I used autoprime's Flash2Modem/Boot/System .zip files, used my bumped twrp.

Will factory settings unroot my phone?

 

[Codec]

Well I set my phone to factory reset, and it's unrooted but the system update is still giving me the error message, what do I do?

 

[Codec]

Someone please help me.

 

[Mikestony]

What exactly are you trying to do? Unroot?

My phone is urooted but what I am trying to do is set the phone back to like when I first bought it like a factory reset, but I tried a factory reset and all the things I deleted like the apps are still gone, so I need a ROM of 4.4.2.

In that previous post, you stated you were rooted, then

you performed a factory reset, and are now unrooted?

Is that all you did---a factory reset?

Yes just a factory reset.

 

[Mikestony]

Yes just a factory reset.

Hmm, odd :hmmmm:
I would then assume you are still on 4.4.2?
Perhaps try Stump root again.
Do you have "bumped" TWRP?
