Take a look to video :)

In basic

flash v10h eu open

Run root tool and that is that....

Reminder: v10h eu open, model p700

or i have to record whole flash/root process? -.-
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] frolex67:
It's not the fact that you have received the root

Where is the root?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] frolex67:
So the root is not there..and no..the Theme died..Ill :(
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] binary_boy01:
Bro, I have flashed the v10h kdz file u provided in first post, i believe is eu open fw, right?

After that ran lg root bat, but believe me, it cannot copy the su and superuser.apk files to /system/app.

I'm pretty much ok with adb command line, i couldn't even push those files manually.

Do you have any other ideas/advices?

Cheers,

Guys, little help...

I edited my build.prop and rebooted, now my phone is stuck on a blank screen.

When I power my phone, it shows the LG logo for a brief moment (~5seconds) and then only blank screen.

I think I may have bricked my phone.

Any idea how to fix this?

I would not mind if I have to reset it to factory settings or reflash it, I just need to get my phone running again.

Thanks a bunch.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] edwartwidianta:
Many timea as long as your device can recognized by PC you can reflashed it. But try factory setting first. As mentioned while power off push vol up + vol down + menu (center button) without releasing the three button you press power. When the phone vibrate release all four button and let it go to recovery mode. When you see dead robot press power for one or two second. You will find factory reset menu. Hope this will help
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] elzafir:
Thanks edwart for the reply.

I tried your suggestion, going into recovery and wiping data/factory reset. And I even tried wiping cache as well.

Unfortunately, after reboot, the phone shows the same symptom: LG logo for some time and then just blank screen.

I also tried going into recovery and try updating the software/reflash from PC, but the LG update tool can't detect the phone while the phone is in recovery.

When in the blank screen, LG tool detects it, but says that "This phone doesn't support updating" or something to that effect.

I also managed to get into "emergency mode" (yellow screen) and LG tool can't detect it as well.

I use the re-flash method that's floating around here somewhere in the forums, which allows me to load specific firmware to update (just like when we want to downgrade the firmware) and also using the LG tool directly, both either can't detect or says that the phone doesn't support updating.

Any other suggestion that I can try?

EDIT: I went to Recovery Mode (Turn off phone, press Vol+ and Power at same time, release at vibration) and tried re-flashing V10H with KDZ_FW_UPD.exe....

And...JOY TO THE WORLD! It works! I woke up the phone from semi-death and now I have the latest firmware. Although I lost all apps, customization, and everything (save for my data on the sdcard), but, who cares? I will now try rooting. Thanks all.

which benefits i have when i root my LG L7 ? are any custom roms available ?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] pkatsaras:
Rooting the phone is not for custom Roms...A custom rom usually IS rooted...When you root your phone, you can install a lot of interesting apps such as Titanium Backup which helps you to backup your apps and data, SetCPU which lets you control your CPU etc.

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] pkatsaras:
The developing for our L7 is at very early stage. As far as I know only BGD is developing. The overclock requires kernel development. Propably in the future maybe with a custom rom... Right now it's too soon!

thank you for the informations , my l7 is running very slow :/ is your l7 running very slow too ?

on this forum everything is a gift.

the spirit of this forum is this. there are no excuses.

If anyone thinks that we can only lose time is free to go elsewhere.

that's all.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] ytapjani:
Yes, totally agree. BGD is dedicating his time and knowledge for the development of our phone, keep up your great work dude:D
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] edwartwidianta:
Agreed!

This is free forum. Developer also has personal life beside improving our phone. Maybe they do it in spare time, who knows?

Things for sure:

1. Do not take somebody's credit! Especially if take it to collect money by that!!!

2. Help to improve the development progress. Post positive comments if you cannot help wih the programming things.

3. Do not blame dev if things still not working with your phone. Dev maybe only have one phone at a time to play with. Search another forum for similar issue and come back here for positive comments. Even with same phone there still variances in hardware, apps level and your own setting. They will make different results! Don't just cry!!! It will not help anyhing, period.

4. As Pancio mentioned, if you are not happy here find your own place elsewhere

Personally I don't care if the way is hard, I've rooted the v10a by downgrading from v10c greece.

rooting v10h is possible

Hello,

yesterday during flashing new KDZ firmware, I found new way how to root our phones.

This method is not for noobs and it's little tricky.

Idea:

I saw that during kdz flashing (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18946763&postcount=1), flashing tool creates temp directory with unpacked image in c:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone\system.img.ext4

So to have rooted firmware is enough to modify system.img.ext4 and flash it somehow into the phone.

Sucessfull procedure:

Easy part:

1. during kdz flashing backup original system.img.ext4

2. mount system.img.ext4 and insert files needed for root (su, busybox, superuser.apk)

Tricky part

3. start again kdz flashing and check direcotry c:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone. As soon as system.img.ext4 will be decompressed in full size replace it with modified image and flashing tool will flash it.

Enjoy :)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] edwartwidianta:
I know the temp file and folder. I even has the copy of v10a, v10c, v10h and v10i.

But how to modified the system.img.ext4? I can only mounted it read only in windows but did not read-write permission. Did you use linux?

Can you modified system.img using linux system?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] skuskom:
Yes exactly use linux to mount the image and insert needed files there.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] ~Phil~:
Isn't working @windows, or?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] FailX:
Try Ext2Read (don't know if its working) or a live linux
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] skuskom:
Linux is needed only for inserting files for root into the image.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] pkatsaras:
Wow! That is true an extreme solution...

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] frolex67:

Is there no way to insert files via windows? Cause I won't install linux on a foreign pc..

"rooting" image under Linux

1. under Linux in terminal create mount dir and mount image on this dir:

sudo mkdir /mnt/image

sudo mount -o loop /path_to_image/system.img.ext4 /mnt/image

2. copy files for rooting into image:

sudo cp /path_to_su_file/su /mnt/image/system/xbin

sudo chown 0.0 /mnt/image/system/xbin/su

sudo chmod 06755 /mnt/image/system/xbin/su

sudo cp /path_to_busybox_file/busybox /mnt/image/system/xbin

sudo chmod 755 /mnt/image/system/xbin/busybox

sudo cp /path_to_superuser_file/superuser.apk /mnt/imagr/system/app

3. umount image:

sudo umount /mnt/image

4. continue in Windows with flashing KDZ and replacing original image with patched one

5. after successful flashing install busybox with adb:

5.1 run adb shell:

adb shell

5.2 in adb shell execute:

su root

mount -o remount,rw /system

/system/xbin/busybox --install /system/xbin

6. restart phone and rooting is done.

With this method you can root any version of the KDZ firmware and each firmware has his own image.

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] lamenomore:

"cp: can not create regular file `/mnt/image/system/xbin ': No such file or directory"

Stuck again... :p

How's that uploading? :D
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] FailX:
I'm uploading right now but it'll take some (much) time...

But from my understanding we're now able to fully customize /system so we can replace some of this LG crap or maybe even try to run a custom rom. We would need to do the updater-script work (e.g. permissions and symlinks) after flashing or on the image itself and flash the kernel manually. But from my point of view it seems at least possible...
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] pkatsaras:
So, please in order to understand...This file that you uploading what trouble does it save us? Am I going to flash only that and I will have a rooted v10h? Did I understand correct or am I missing something?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] FailX:
Yes. But it's highly recommended to install busybox afterwards. That's pretty simple:
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] frolex67:
And could not be immediately busybox in the file insert?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] pkatsaras:
Yeah that's OK I can also install it through market if I am not wrong...So, I don't know anything about linux but that didn't seem so difficult...Is there any chance we can install CWM with this way? I mean if there is a way to interfear inside firmware and maybe we can build a custom rom, then propably with the same way we can "plant" CWM recovery over stock one? Just a thought, I know nothing about Linux and programming...
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] frolex67:
I think that maybe....Just need a recovery can comment pick up to our machine
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] FailX:
I don't know what the --install command exactly does so I think it's better (and tested) this way

Installing has never been the problem, you can easily flash it on a rooted phone. I think CWM is either not booting (in my opinion most likely) or not working properly

Ok, one more thing... :>

When (exactly) I have to replace the image file before flashing?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] FailX:
Wait until it is fully unpacked, the size is about 480KB. Its a bit tricky anyway, I recommend to store a copy of your modified file on the C:\ partition and use cut to replace the original because thats very fast
