I have a vzw lg g3 running Android 5.0.1 kernel 3.4.0 software ver vs98524b. I have tried all the one click root systems for the lg devices and nothing will work. Super user installer never runs in download mode and just stays at 0%. Phone also isn't letting me downgrade back to a earlier build using lg flashtool. This is seriously driving me crazy. Can somebody please help me out here.
I remember being able to go back and forth between KK and LP no matter the fail attempts of loosing root, Do you have custom recovery? If you do you can easily boot to it by pressing the power button and the volume down key and enter the recovery from there and flash a rom with root, MAYBE I'M WRONG but that is what I remember doing whenever root was gone. I haven't done this in months so I'm not sure, maybe someone else can help you
So how I finally got flashed back to kk. Trying to root but seems like my phone isn't cooperating with the scripts. It says waiting for device.....that's all it does. I have ish debugging turned on and drivers installed

It took my device for to finish up the script when it says "waiting for device", not sure if you waited for a while or expected it to be a quick process or not but I am positive that with my device it seemed like it took FOREVER. Just a heads up, not sure if this is much help but just an idea.
Have you tried this method...

i think the problem is my phone isnt correctly communicating with my phone because under device manager according to the tutorial it says i should have mobile Sooner Single ADB Interface but i dont have that anywhere. I have tried multiple drivers and not having any luck!!
Rooting VZW LG G3
Did you have your phone in PTP mode instead of MTP mode? I seem to remember that when I went to root mine I was in MTP mode and it didn't work.

I also had somewhat of a struggle rooting on 24b. The MTP mode didn't seem to allow Adb access. I think toggling back and forth from mtp to ptp finally allowed adb devices to show the device. Wish I remembered which how to I followed to link you to. Do you have Lg drivers installed?
Here is guide I followed. Thanks to digital-bug for guide that helped me.

I have had similar issues with MTP and ADB access on my V985. What I have discovered fixes mine every time is to plug the mini USB into a USB port on the front of my case or into the add-on card. Essentially not through any hubs and NOT directly hard connected to the motherboard. But a port attached to one of the headers IE front of the case ports. I don't have any good explanations for why this works, but it works. Normally i plug my phone in to a USB 3.0 hub and it, normally, does work, but when it does not I go to the front of the case which is a 2.0 port connected to one of the headers on the board.

I had similar issues ( as well as many others) when trying to root. After many unsuccessful attempts I tried a different computer and it worked like a charm. Both were xp machines. Getting a recovery installed was a different story neither machine worked and after a couple days of frustration I tried the autorec app which did the trick.

Try a different USB cord, also uninstall and reinstall the drivers you might have the wrong driver installed.
