OP, please update the first post to explicitly mention the fact that this phone uses secure boot and therefore cannot boot custom boot or recovery images. Also that CWM can therefore not be installed until such time as the secure boot has been removed or the key has been made public.

Especially considering the fact that "Enter Stock Recovery" actually refers to the hard reset process. The fact that "BOOTLOADER ACCESS" (i.e. fastboot) is available does not help as flashing the boot images still won't have the phone boot!

I am in the market for a new phone and deciding between this phone and the Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500 which is in the same price range. I only came across the secure boot problem by actually reading the whole thread, and this really clinches the decision - it's going to be the Galaxy. I would not have had this info just from reading the first post, and would have been EXTREMELY ticked off if I had decided on the L5 (because it has a very nice spec set for its price and otherwise looks like a nice phone).

I imagine this information may influence others' decision as well.

For those who had ROM carrier and moved to Rom without operator:

What happens if you go to "Software Update"? is giving some error message?

For I know that in handsets from LG, if you put another ROM that is not the operator, you do not have more OTA update (update by own phone via wifi) and had been unable to update the device.

Please someone can tell me what message appears when you search for updates.

How can i increase my LG-E612 ram

Goodday Gurus in the house, i am new to this forum. infact i really enjoy this forum. one of my brother send me LG-612 from india to nigeria. Iove the phone but my problem is the ram too small. i cant be able to minimize more application due to the 390MB poor ram. Is there any way i can increse the ram. Thanks
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] bkr32:
well you cannot actually increase ram but rather manage it, use the inbuilt task manager for intense gaming and multitasking is decent just hold down home button and swipe away any unused apps to utilize their share of the ram

Guys, just to let you know, to enter emergency mode on LG L5 you have to press and hold Volume Up and Power Buttons at the same time, and then when the two bottom keys light up before the LG logo shows up, you have to press and hold Home Button for 2,3 seconds.

You should get the Computer icon and a warning not to unplug the phone from the PC. I´m actually not sure if it´s emergency mode,fastboot mode, flash mode, or just some download mode. Hope it helps someone. :)

Ok so...

@toby913: it's the first guide i followed to root this device.

@Chahat16: i kept it opened before rebooting. I read about a pretty slow reboot after this step, but i noticed none. Maybe i do it wrong.

@Gagan Kabir: i've installed these drivers (dl dot dropbox dot com/u/12070956/LGUnitedMobileDriver%20S4981MAN38AP22%20ML%20WHQL%20Ver%203.8.1.exe - replace dot with .). When i plug the cellphone, my pc recognizes it immediately and in Device Manager appears "Android Sooner Single ADB Interface" without driver errors. Imo i think drivers work properly 'cause root.bat tries to push files, but somehow L5 doesn't allow this operation saying for example "failed to copy 'busybox' to '/data/local/busybox': Permission denied".... and the final reboot works everytime... so i don't think this is a driver issue.

Is "data/local" a read-only folder maybe? Could be?

You have to consider it's not a standard version of L5: LG-E610v with Vodafone Brand.

Installation of SystemBackup Test problem

Hello!

I have my LG E612 and I want to try your method of rooting. So what I did first is to download all the files that will be needed for rooting.

So I downloaded the 2 required files, which are the IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk file and the ox4r archive file. All the files are ready, so I did the steps, from 1 until 3. Now I'm stuck at step 4 because when I install the apk file, It prompts "Out of Space". But I still have 1.2GB free space. Is it a bug or something?

Please help! I need to root my phone, to move some apps to ext SD.

Thank you!
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] bkr32:
ok concerning root first thing is connect phone open cmd go to adb adb devices if it shows your phone then run root.bat if it restarts but doesnt root install the apk method and try again it should not exceed over 5 minutes

Another solution for failure installation of SystemBackup?

Hello,

Okay let me see if I got it right.

First, I will try the tether like something mode ( which involves connecting phone and running the "root.bat" ). Then restart.

So my question on that option, is it safe because the SystemBackupTest is not currently installed? And how will if my device is successfully/already rooted?

In the second option, I'm having a problem there, the SystemBackupTest.apk doesn't allow me to install because it prompts me that Im "Out of Space" even I still have 1.2GB free space.

I think I'll go with the 1st option you gave. I'll try it later.

Thank you! :good:

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] Chahat16:

If not then the process hasn't been done... make sure you have all the lg drivers installed and the system Backup app was open when you rebooted...
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] bkr32:
ok firstly you must make sure that your phone can send receive adb commands this can be confirmed by using adb devices which shows your phone can interact this is important since if it doesnt and systemback apk is used your gpu will crash untill a factory reset is done secondly now that your device is connected and has been shown on adb devices now you may run the root.bat method without installing apk ,now if you run the command and are stuck at daemon started and nothing more you may need to install drivers etc, now if your phone reboots at this stage and isnt rooted you may try the apk version of rooting which is mostly succeessfull

Hello there,

Okay I will try the rooting method without installing the SystemBackup apk. As you said, is it safe right?

In sending adb command, I have no problem with that and successfully sending command to my device.

So now, I will skip the installation of apk and go for rooting process. One last question, is the connection type PC Suite or Charge only?

Sorry for asking soo many question, im just wanna know specifics.
