I did the whole process three times. No command feedback, waited 5 minutes, and what should I do? Just unplug, pull the battery, or send the command LEAVE?
Well, we don't have a removable battery so I just unplugged then held power until it turned off and rebooted. Good luck.
dude... he have a LG G3 D855 international and it has removable battery... so holding a power button will not turnoff the device...
Make sure your com port number is correct... you need to send the commend to "DIAG" com port...

if nothing work you should try it.
Yeap, that was it. Without encryption, it worked as expected. All feedback was right. Thanks for the procedure.
Maybe the OP would like to state that you can only root UNENCRYPTED devices, how about that?

This kinda over my head but wondering if it is anything I need to be concerned about on my LG MS395. I think I rooted mine before you wrote this up with instructions you provided and it worked after you helped me out. And for TWRP I used the Minamal ADB/Fasstboot tool from another thread on XDA.
Thanks
I put Minimal ADB/Fastboot on my PC and was able to get TWRP flashed. I did have a couple of problems on the first 2 commands but was able to get it.
Thanks again for your advice, I think I will learn more in the long run knowing have to use these tools.
Works for D410
The root method worked perfectly for Lg L90 D410 but after ive tried following your instructions for fastboot mode, im unable to get into it as it says

641Code:
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. A lot.
Original Guide
Prerequisites
1.) Download LG Root
2.) Download LG Drivers
3.) A micro USB cable connected to your PC
4.) Your device must be unencrypted
5.) Before you ask a question, make sure you looked at the pictures in the guide.
1.) Download and unzip the LG_Root.zip in your preferred location
I chose the Desktop for my location
2.) Enable ADB debugging on your device
Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information and tap build number until you are presented with "You are now a developer"
Exit back to Settings main screen
In Developer Options enable USB Debugging (Some devices require enabling PTP for debugging to work)
3.) In the root of LG_Root folder start a command prompt
Instructions may vary based on Window's version
Inside of LG_Root folder hold shift and right click a blank space you should see "Open command window here"
4.) Now that we have a command prompt running in the root of the folder let's get started. (Commands are copy+paste unless specified)
Let's make sure our device is connected
Code:adb.exe devices
5.) Great! My device is connected let's continue, we need to get the files onto the device used for this root method.
In the same command prompt let's execute another command
Code:adb.exe push busybox /data/local/tmp/ && adb.exe push lg_root.sh /data/local/tmp && adb.exe push UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp
6.) Well that was easy , let's continue (Now that we have the files on our device we want to put our device is download mode)
(Note this method may vary from device to device)
Power off your device
When the device is powered off, hold volume up and insert a USB cable connected to the PC
Wait for the drivers to install
7.) We're almost done (you've managed to get in download mode)
8.) Let's find which COM port our device is connected to
Double click ports.bat (This will give us the COM port in which our device is connected we are looking for the Diag port)
You may exit this command prompt when you have your COM port number, keep the other command prompt open
9.) Let's Begin! (Keep the device in Download mode)
Let's run Send_Command.exe (It couldn't connect? Make sure you COM port number is correct it varies)
Code:Send_Command.exe \\.\COM4
10.) Final Step!!!!!! (We must run the root script)
Code:sh /data/local/tmp/lg_root.sh dummy 1 /data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp/busybox
11.) We're done
You may pull the battery to get the device out of Download mode

All credit goes to @jgkim find a post and thank this guy for posting the method.
Thank @high247 for ports.bat8255Devices confirmed working with root method (If your device isn't listed it's most likely still supported)
- LG F60 (all variants)
- LG Tribute (all variants)
- LG G2 (all variants)
- LG MS395/D393
- LG G3 (all variants)
- LG L90 (all variants)
- LG Transpyre
- LG Volt (LS740)
- LG G Flex 2
NOTE: Do not attempt this on devices with 5.1.1 , at the time this method was posted it worked on many firmware 5.0.2 and below. With the current releases from LG, this method has and will brick many users. This can be said for the one click method as well. Failure to read the complete thread may render your device non repairable as the KDZ firmware isn't released for all LG devices.29Linux version of Send_Command
I've prepared a Linux port of the Send_Command tool. Now we can root without windows.
Thank you to Only, pangolin.rollin, and Unjustified Dev who made this possible.

Run the python script in a terminal for instructions. Feedback is appreciated.6Got it my driver issue fixed with the help of this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59310899&postcount=471 the driver in the file he attached is just what I needed to get it to work correctly.
It might also be very useful for anyone else who might run into the same problem I did. Cheers!
