Marshmallow root? - T-Mobile LG G4

Had anybody successfully rooted 6.0 yet, and if so, can you point me to the right place. Just got 2 of these devices for my son and daughter, and my son likes his rooted, but it updated to marshmallow the first night he had it. Have found several guides to rooting 5.1.1, but don't want to risk since muy wife would kill me if I mess it up.

I got success, but I used SuperSU 2.46.
Basically, you do the following steps:
1. Backup your data
2. Copy necessary files onto memory card.
3. Boot into bootloader and unlock it.
4. Boot into bootloader reboot into TWRP and install SuperSU
5. Update the binary and restore data
That's it.

[Q] OTA update to 4.4.2 and preserve root?

I rooted wife's Nexus 7 sometime in last year (or so) so that she could play movies/tv-shows from an attached flash drive (using Stickmount).
First off, i don't need the root for anything else.. is rooting still required to be able to access/play video from an attached flash drive (without copying it first from the flashdrive to your nexus)?
If still needed then I would like to preserve the root.
She informs me that there is a notification for pending software 4.4.2 update ready to install (apparently been there for months) . Is there an easy way to install the OTA 4.4.2 update and preserve my root? So i dont have to re-root the device?
Thanks in advance to any that are kind enough to offer suggestions!
Well i got impatient and loaded TWRP manager but miss understood the part about requiring superSU Pro to retain root and wound up installing the update and wiping out root access.
What i didn't realize (or remember) is that the device is not re-locked so can re-root the device using wugfreshs nexus root toolkit (took couple minutes) without losing anything.
So wife is happy camper

You didn't need the toolkit. All you needed was the super su zip and flash it in recovery...

For future i would like to learn this (sorry i only work on her nexus for a few minutes a year so very unfamiliar with the hacks)
I found the newest super su zip relatively easily.. but the "flash it in recovery" part needs a little more step-by-step instruction for the unbaptized.
Thanks for the help.

Nexus 6 - Running 5.1.1 able to be unlocked?

Hi All,
I have just within the last few days received a brand new Nexus 6, did all updates and it is running 5.1.1. I have found multiple guides online in regards to rooting 5.0, but none of them have any reference to 5.1.1 (I assume because it is still fairly new). I would just like to make sure that the guides for 5.0 are still appropriate for 5.1.1 before I go ahead with the root, and will not brick my phone. (Would post link for the guide I was going to follow, but I have less than 10 posts)
If anyone could verify this for me, that would be awesome! As well, if anyone has any newer guide or anything else that I should know as I am starting from scratch with a new device, that would be great as well!
Thanks!

its all the same, for any nexus. 1. unlock the bootloader via fastboot. 2. flash twrp recovery via fastboot. 3. flash the latest supersu in your new recovery. 4. reboot, with your bootloader unlocked and with root.
Yes, the method to unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, and root has not changed. I'd suggest this > http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-nexus-6-one-beginners-guide-t2948481
Thanks! Just wanted to make sure!

I want to root my AT&T Note 3 N900AUCUEOC2 Lollipop 5.0

Hello
i know there are many threads about rooting, i have been looking around the web for a few hours, you could say i am a noob when it comes to rooting. I have found many methods of rooting, some are lengthy and require the user to copy the files manually and some offer 1-click apps that do the root. In the end, i got confused and couldn't make up my mind. which is why i want to ask about my specific device, i have an AT&T Galaxy Note 3 N900AUCUEOC2 running Lollipop 5.0 (i updated from 4.4.2 ), the phone is not unlocked, it is still as it is since i bought it.
what is the best way for me to root? i have tried Towelroot, but it said my device is not supported, even though i have seen people on here with the same exact device claiming that it has worked for them. if you can give me instructions or provide me with a guide that can work with my phone i would appreciate it, i am really concerned about bricking it.

Sure I just went through this.
There is really only one way to do this. After you're higher than nc2
I believe you can find all links in this link (I did make sure read the first few posts because links are scattered)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51572044
1: download Odin on pc
2: download nc2 Odin files (I used the all in one file)
3: install Samsung driver on your pc
4: reboot phone into Odin mode
5: plug phone into PC
6: install Odin nc2 files according to the image shown in above link
7: reboot phone into Samsung recovery
8: full factory reset
9: boot phone and install and towel root
10: install busybox
11: install safestrap
12: reboot into safestrap
13: install prerooted oc1 very easy ROM or any other ROM of your choice.
(I tried a few and decided on prerooted oc1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59666958
14: if on stock rooted oc1 now install app quarantine
15: in app quarantine block all Knox and att updater.
16: profit.

Thank you so much that was very helpful, one more question if you don't mind. Since I have to do a factory reset I have to back up my phone. I have also been looking around for apps or pc software that can preform a full back up, but for the apps they require you to be rooted, if not then they don't do a full back up. I was wondering if I'm missing something, I have never done a full back up, I was wondering if there is a away to do a back up that can save pretty much all your apps, data and app data, in such a way that when you restore the back up your phone comes back exactly to where it was. I haven't done that before so I'm not sure if a back up can actually do that, let's say I restore the back up, are all my apps gonna be there or do I have to install all of them again? That's my main concern, I'm not worried much about videos/pictures/contacts etc because I know those can easily be backed up. I would appreciate if you can give me feedback about this, especially about the apps and their data. If you can suggest back up apps (preferably ones that you let you back up on PC) that would be much appreciated.
I don't know of a way to do this. Sorry.

Ok i have figured out a way to do it, i have been reading through the links you have sent, honestly i am very confused, you said you have OC2 and have done that already? in the links you provided i got lost because i wasn't sure whether some steps where required or just additional, i saw some steps that included wiping the SD card. the steps that YOU wrote seemed simple enough, i will start the rooting process tomorrow. i just have one favor to ask, if i decided to root can i still contact you if i encountered a problem or had a question? i just wanna make sure i can find help if anything happens. I am quite paranoid about it lol

Cool thank you so much man !
Sorry to add to your thread, I previously rooted this phone back in 2015 but since then jumped to many other phones without root and got out of the game. I need a refresher. In your notes above when you go to that link, there are a bunch of new files, can you provide some clarity for me?
1-Most say on 5.0 NC2 you have to use all 4 ODIN files not the all in one, can you confirm?

Rooting Honor 8

Hello, I'm very new to rooting, but over the last few days I've spent hours and hours trying to figure out how to root my phone. Last year I used KingRoot on my Galaxy S4, but it inundated my phone with ads and malware stuff, so I've developed an untrust towards these one-click root apps. I also read how that Android 5.0+ can't be rooted with these one click programs anymore. So I searched up how to root Honor 8, with one of the coming up being on this site. I followed the steps (as confusing as they were), and ended up unlocking my bootloader, flashing TWRP and SuperSU. Now, the reason why I want to root is to use GameGuardian to mess around with some games. The title of the post on how to root the Honor 8 said, [Guide] Unlock Bootloader // Install TWRP // Root - one of these being root, but not once in the actual post do they actually specify when the root happens. I've completed the process, tried to run GameGuardian, and I still can't use it. I downloaded a root checker and it says that my phone isn't rooted. (Heres the link to the guide btw: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-tested-root-t3443946) So now I'm very frustrated as to how to root my phone, cos ik rooting can mean many things - including unlocking bootloader and all that with the TWRP custom recoveries and SuperSU, but all I want is a permissions root to let me get run GameGuardian..... Please someone help. I've looked high and low and I'm at a loss.

Flashing SuperSU on an unlocked device should yield the desired outcome if properly performed. Suggest you reflash the latest SuperSU build (at present 2.82 SR5) which can be obtained from here.

Didn't say that. I confirmed the procedure should work on a device with an unlocked bootloader caveated with "if properly performed". Recommend retrying with 2.82 SR5.

Help with Rooting a Note 8

Hi all.
So it's been a while that I've rooted a phone (Note 4 years ago).
Getting a refurbished Note 8 very soon (UK).
I just want to root it and install only what's needed, without applying custom roms etc.
Just need it rooted for Titanium Backup, modded Google Play. Stuff like that.
Hope someone can help me in how I should go about it.
Also should I update the phone to 9.0 as soon as I boot it up?
Thanks.
Edit: Got the phone now. It took me to the home screen when first booted up. Looks like already updated to version 9. Does rooting still trigger KNOX?

Yes rooting will trip Knox.
To flash TWRP just follow the steps in this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-official-3-3-1-x-twrp-for-galaxy-note8-exynos.3832962/ (just use the latest TWRP which is 3.5 I believe)
If you're just going to root stock filmware you will need to flash RMM/KG bypass or you will get locked out of your phone (only official filmware can be flashed error, then you will have to flash stock to fix it) - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ll-twrp-on-exynos-samsung-after-2018.3747535/
If you are going to flash a custom rom they have the RMM state prepatched so this step would not be necessary. To flash a custom rom just follow the steps laid out in the OP of the rom you want to use.
