Help Do I need root to modify system sounds?

[IHateMyTreo]

I would like to modify or delete some system sounds, like the battery full notification. Astro can't write to the folder. Is there a file manager that can do this without root, or is root the only way?

And is root available yet for the VZW variant? It's unclear from All Things Root.

Yes you will need root to modify /system anything, including sounds.
What software version are you on currently?

ok cool....let me look around to see if there is a root method. I think there is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951

but not sure if will allow you to install a custom recovery after rooting with that method...

See the notes in that thread:

I saw a lot of questions of G3 users about how to install Twrp after the root, so I will explain briefly:
For now, if you are on stock lollipop you can't just flash Twrp via flashify etc like the old days in KitKat, but you can follow this guide over here.

I'm at work right now so I can investigate as time permits
