How to Root Verizon LG G3 on 47A Marshmallow Update

Rooting is now possible for LG G3 on 47AMarshmallow update thanks to folks at XDA, we (at-least) still have a way to root Verizon LG G3 even on the latest 47A Marshmallow update. Cheers!

You can have root access on the Verizon G3’s latest update with software
version 47a, but the procedure isn’t a pretty one. Rooting 47A firmware
requires downgrading back to 10B first, then achieve root using Stump
and then install TWRP and flash the bootstack from version 35B, and then
finally flash a 47A stock ROM (or any custom 47A ROM) from TWRP.
