LG Phoenix 3 is a quality Android smartphone, which comes with 5.0 inches touchscreen display powered by 1100 MHz Quad-core processor along with 1.5 GB RAM and the device runs on Android Android V6.0 (Marshmallow) operating system. If you own this device and looking for a quick way to root it, you are on the right page as I have given a step by step tutorial to root LG Phoenix 3 here.
By following the instructions given here, you will be able to root LG Phoenix 3 successfully. Once you have gained root privileges in your device, you will be able to install custom recovery images, flash custom ROM firmware files, etc.
WARNING: Rooting your LG Phoenix 3 device will void its warranty, and you won’t be able to claim it unless you unroot your device. So think well about it before rooting your device.
Prerequisites:
Step 1: Before getting started with the procedure, make sure that you take a complete backup of personal data on your device using appropriate apps. If something goes wrong during the rooting process, you can use this backup to restore your personal information.
Step 2: Ensure that your device has at least 50-60% battery backup in it before getting started with the rooting process.
Step 3: Now enable USB Debugging or Android Debugging on your device by following this path: Settings -> Developer Options. If you can’t access “Developer Options“, enable it by following this path: Settings -> About Phone -> Build Number (tap on it for 5-7 times to enable Developer Options).
Step 4: Download LG Phoenix 3 USB driver and install it on your computer. Only by installing USB driver, you will be able to connect your device with PC or Laptop computer successfully.
Step 5: Make sure that you deactivate antivirus programs in your computer as they tend to consider the rooting exploits of SRS Root (our rooting software) as Trojan/Malware.
Once you finish all these prerequisites, you can move forward to the rooting procedure given below.

Sathishkumar Varatharajan says
Hi, after rooting your device, download and install “Super User” or “SuperSU” from Google Play Store. Without Superuser or SuperSu, root checker will report that you’re not rooted. If it doesn’t work, root it manually using ADB. That’s it.

The bootloader is in full lockdown and until we gain access root is impossible.
Namewa says
The SRS Root project stopped, and the old version does not run because it detects it is an old version. Useless guide at this point.
