1. Extract files from One Click Root Tool by double-clicking on its executable file.
2. Go to Menu->Settings->Developer options on your device and turn on USB debugging.

That was about rooting your device. If you wish to install a custom ROM on your device, you’re going to need a custom recovery. You can follow our how to install a custom recovery on the LG G3 (Europe) tutorial to learn how you can flash a custom recovery on your device which will then let you flash a custom ROM.
Furthermore, you may unroot the LG G3 at anytime, after you gain root access. Doing so will revoke the custom ROM and return you back to the stock Android that comes with your LG G3 usually. Moreover, you should find the warranty claims working again for your handset.
