Closing thread. Will try Flashfire.
Sorry for inconvenience
~~~~~
My phone is a T-Mobile LG K7 (aka LG K330). I rooted with Kingroot & did the SuperSU changeover. The phone came with Android 5.1.1, but T-Mobile is offering an upgrade to Marshmallow.
1. I'm worried about being able to root again if I upgrade. How likely is it that I can't root again after upgrade?
2. Is the upgrade worth the risk? What would I gain going from Lollipop to Marshmallow?
3. When I got the phone, the only root app I found that worked was Kingroot. Are there any newer root apps for the less well-known phones?
Will try Flashfire

So I've had the G3 for a while but haven't played with it at all like I have with some of my old phones. I'm not currently rooted and have already taken the Verizon update to Lollipop VS98523C. Can I even root my phone in it's current state? If I can root, what root method would be the best one. I've seen a few different ones. If I did root are there even ROMs that would work for my phone. I'm most interested in putting CM on it. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've searched the forums quite a bit and haven't found this information. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Downgrading via kdz or tot, then rooting using the new method, then install latest version of TWRP for our phone, then flashing the rom from TWRP would be the easiest, most brick resistant method
Can you tell me which root method is the new one?
Don't need to downgrade at all anymore. The new root script is somewhere in the regular LG G3 sections (not Verizon specific) and there's now an app in the Play Store (there's a thread from only a day or more ago in these Verizon LG G3 sections about it) for installing TWRP on our phone that's supposed to work under Lollipop. I haven't tested it yet, myself, mind you.
For reference, the old root method is called Stump and didn't work with 12B or newer.

I have the Verizon Z2 tablet Model SGP561 firmware 23.0.1.E.0.208 Android 4.4.4.
I am trying to root, install custom recovery, and install ROM's. From what I'm reading this is not possible. In fact, there is no easy solution to obtain root. From what I read, I will have to downgrade the Firmware to Android 4.4.2 and then upgrade using a patch to 4.4.4.
The thing is all of the information is pretty old(last year). Has there been any progress made, or am I stuck? I would love to Root this and run any ROM, even if it is a stock ROM.
Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated!
I have a Verizon Z2 LTE SGP561 with the latest update of 4.4.4 and i managed successfully to Root it with the latest KingRoot apk.
It was very easy - just download the KingRoot apk to your device , run it from the device and it will do the work.
After it will complete you will have KingRoot user which is the superuser app for permission, no need to install SuperUser of SuperSU.
I checked with root-checker to verify and indeed it was rooted.
even though the bootloader is locked you are rooted.
I managed to remove all Verizon bloatware apps.
You can find the latest KingRoot apk in the following link:

Bumping because I need to root it on 6.0 update.
Anyone know how?
I just bought an LG class (a.k.a. LG Zero) model LG F620K but i am on Android 5.1.1
I am unable to get update to Android 6.0, can any of you guys guide me towards where to get it and how to upgrade , thanks.
I recently just upgraded to 5.1.1 on my Note edge and was wondering if there was a safe way to upgrade to marshmallow without losing my root. I've seen people say you can use FlashFire to install an Android OTA update without losing root but I don't know If I can trust that. If somebody can let me know if FlashFire can upgrade my device without me losing root I would appreciate it.
I have a similar thread on this as well. I wanted to know if there was a way to safely upgrade to marshmallow from 4.4.4 without losing root. Links and suggestions would be great because the only thing I know of is to flash it to stock without root then update. Thanks
First, I had a rooted G3. Never updated it. Now, I have an H830 (T-Moble) variant. I've been rooted since I bought the phone and have never updated because I don't know how to do it without losing root. I'm still on software version H83010d (Android 6.0.1).
From what I've gathered, I just download the .zip in here and install via TWRP and then flash superSU afterwards?
I'm not completely sure what the talk of modifying boot.img or removing recovery-from-boot.p...
My reason for updating is because I want to try the Fulmics ROM or any optimized ROM for that matter. I had one on my G3 and it ran so much better.
But then as a follow up question, is the update process the same from a ROM? Do you just flash an update over the Rom and then re-flash the ROM?
Any links or answers are appreciated so I can finally figure out how to update while retaining root on my devices. :laugh:
