Best way to unroot LG G3?

[blackdogAC]

Ok a few questions:
Where does one find the LG Flash Tool if needed?
Once rooted, how do I remove CarrierIQ. It has a weird folder/filename, doesn't it?

Search for it "LG Mobile Support Tool". Once you use it, it will not reinstall CarrierIQ.

Here's is an app you can use to hide root from Enterprise.

Yes.

I did this and it will still not let me receive OTA updates. It says that my device is suspected in rooting. A couple of the files associated with busybox are still installed and ES File Explorer won't let me erase them. I can't flash it because i don't have a PC, only a mac. I'm not sure if it's those files or if there was a root counter that was tripped and Superuser didn't reset it. If anyone knows how to remedy this help would be greatly appreciated.

So were you able to apply future OTA updates after this method? Did you do anything with your phone while you were rooted? flash roms, edit system files, mods etc?.

Will not work for me. Still coming up as suspected as rooted. I checked with 2 different root checkers and no roots are found. Help?

Depending on what you did while rooted will affect how well SuperSU will unroot.

spartanguy's method is full proof, however.

Can't you just use repair update from pc suite?

No, it's not as safe. It's best to start with Unroot from SuperSU and then move on to flashing back to stock with TOT or KDZ method if that does not work.

That'd leave me with all data lost, and I don't see how it's not safe.

I guess safe is the wrong term. Not as effective. And how are you losing data if you back stuff up?

I guess you're right but I'm not sure how it's not as effective.

Because when you mess with root, a lot of things are affected and without a full wipe of those partitions, you may comes across errors that you can't pinpoint the root cause of, other than a non-pure system partition.

On XDA it says it's perfectly good and it unmodifies any changes made if you're on the stock rom, which I am. I've not really messed that much mainly theming changes and a few shortcuts here and there.
