WiFi Tethering???

Anyone know if now that we're rooted WiFi-Tether app will work? I prefer to use the stock hacked mobile hotspot but it doesn't look like it's been done yet. Anyone using WiFiTether or another tether app.
[LG Optimus G (International)] chacho_2me:
the same with L-01E ?

you think it is possible with the Japan Variant?
[LG Optimus G (International)] chevro1et:
^^did you not read these posts in this thread?
[LG Optimus G (International)] chacho_2me:
sorry dude..i am kinda tired and my internet is kinda slow...sorry for being lazy,,,so it would seem i made the wrong choice then.. a bad thing for me since it will be delivered to me next week....tsk tsk tsk
[LG Optimus G (International)] efrant:
One person saying he couldn't get it to work is not confirmation of anything in my eyes, particularly given that it's pretty obvious that he wasn't entirely sure how the method worked: it is normal for the device to be slow, as Bin4ry's method reboots your device into emulator mode.

And scripts can cause issues and make things unclear. Strip out the commands and type them in yourself so you see where it fails. Refer to Bin4ry's thread I linked to earlier.

One thing I'm wondering is, but does the Korean Optimus g work in USA? I I'm about to go to Korea and was wondering if I should buy the phone and bring it here for at&t. I want the Korean phone because of the camera and color variant
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
Same thing happened to me, factory reset solved it.

But since my phone is a Korean Telecom's one, i thought it very weird, so i tried it again - it works!

Root not working on L01E

Here also confirmed that root is

working on LG L01E (docomo optimus g):crying:. I tried it several times without success...
[LG Optimus G (International)] Y0l0:
help

Ok so I rooted my optimus and it worked like a charm. I installed ru uninstall to delete some factory apps. Later I turned my phone off and when I turned it back on. The LG logo appears and underneath it it says security error, and then turns itself down. does aNybody have any idea why this happens or how to fix it? Thanks
[LG Optimus G (International)] Krazy_Talk:
Is anyone able to confirm if this root method will also work for the Sprint Optimus G variant? Thank you in advnace.

ok,,,but 2 guys says here that they have the Japan Version and tried root and then something bad happened..but after factory reset..they said IT WORKS!!!

what do you guys say that it works? rooting works? thanks for the clarification.. cheers!
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
Did you it right?

1)Install LG drivers

2)Allow security and development things

3)Manually set the default usb mode as LG PC Suite (I didnt checked it at first time, i believe thats the reason phone was broked)

4)Connect to pc

5)Root

6)Press the button on phone

7)And just wait, (Or take a cup of coffee, like op says) phone will reboot 2 times.

8)Profit
[LG Optimus G (International)] kailash911:
The Korean version worked after the reset.

The Japanese version seems to be different than the others...

Yes, I'm pretty sure I did al those steps but I'll try it again.

So basically the att sprint and korean version can be rooted with this method...

EDIT: Followed your steps and failed again. It only reboots once

[LG Optimus G (International)] prosive:
Can anyone confirm this works on the Sprint version?
[LG Optimus G (International)] fiddy619:
I just did it on the Sprint Version, and it did work, Make sure you have your phone set as an MTP device when connected via USB, and make sure that your device gets loaded with the ADB drivers as you plug in the USB. There is also a very important step that you must follow, DO NOT REMOVE from USB until your phone comes back up completely and finishes rebooting. The rest of the instructions were verbatim. Also I would suggest opening a command prompt (run as administrator btw) and navigating to the "stuff" directory inside the "RootOptimusG" directory (after extracted of course), once in the "stuff" directory run "adb devices" from the command prompt (without quotes), and make sure that it sees your device. If it does not, try changing USB prots, or re-installing your LG USB drivers, once you get that working, you can just cd .. (which will bring you back up one directory to the RootOptimusG directory, you can navigate however you wish, but I prefer cd .. to go up one), and just type RootOptimusG.bat (case doesn't matter in Windows, and you could just start to type root, then press tab which will auto fill the rest). That is it, you should be rooted. BTW I ran this method after the update, so it does still work even after the current update.
[LG Optimus G (International)] fiddy619:
OK, So I re-wrote the batch file in English if anyone wants to try it out... Here is also my post stating what I had to do to get it to work.
[LG Optimus G (International)] chevro1et:
Good looking out, sir. Thanks for your effort.
[LG Optimus G (International)] prosive:
Thanks. Using this guide successfully worked on my Sprint OG with update! Easiest root ever.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Barshalen:
I can also vouch that this method works after applying the ota update on the Sprint version.

[LG Optimus G (International)] Y0l0:
Make sure you don't un install any factory apps with root or else next time your phone dies or gets turned off when you turn it on you will get a security error, bricked, and factory reset will not resolve it, luckily at&t swapped me with a new one (x
[LG Optimus G (International)] bahaa3000:
is the bootloader unlocked with this ?

I know this is an amateur question , but does this mean the bootloader is unlocked ? and that we can get roms to work ? or is rooting unrelated to unlocking the bootloader ?

HOW DO WE UNROOT?

Thanks,

[LG Optimus G (International)] cpus456:
Via factory refresh -- if you do that it should bring the it to its original states
[LG Optimus G (International)] PeterGuru:
Tried it, but ...

I tried that, but it still showed SuperSU in the app drawer. I also tried the unroot feature in SuperSU, and it seemed to work; however ...

If I return the device to Rogers, is there anyway for someone to tell that I used this method to root?

Peter
[LG Optimus G (International)] amrando:
Just like any Android device, you'll need to reload the OEM system image to be sure of wiping out any trace.. kinda hard without a working CWM though.. :rolleyes: Guess you better hope the Rogers RMA department isn't too observant. It's interesting that the E971 and E970 show the same Baseband version here though - APQ8064/MDM9x15M. How does this account for the fact that the AT&T version supports 700mhz LTE, the Rogers version 2600mhz LTE and not vice-versa? These phones officially have only LTE Band 4 in common - the AWS 2100/1700 system.

I've had to do this with the Nexus 7 when returning to Staples, piece of cake when you have access to the bootloader.

Thanks to galeri and other previous testers. I've had mine 24 hours now, and root worked fine 1st try on my E970. :good:

Now just waiting on the bootloader and my pie-in-the-sky wish for transferable baseband radio software. I don't need 700mhz LTE support in Canada for a year at least, but 2600mhz or 2100mhz LTE would be great.

Encrypted

So obviously your guide is pretty simple and easy to follow. However, i've managed to run into an issue lol. I just got the phone and other than install a few apps i have NOT modified it at all. Every time it gets to the "restore my data" screen it asks for a password and will not continue until i give it one. i have not encrypted the device or set a password on it. Any suggestions.

P.S. i searched the forums as best i could and did not see anything on this. I'm assuming my noobness is getting the better of me. Thanks for your help!

EDIT: rebooting the device and trying again solved the issue. /shrug
[LG Optimus G (International)] BloodBaron:
Try restoring without a password when rooting
[LG Optimus G (International)] mikereno1:
Im trying to get this root to work but not getting very far. I installed the drivers to my desktop, but when I connect the device it just scans for media and thats it? Windows only recognizes it as a media device.

How can I tell if the drivers were installed correctly? How do I know if the adb connection is available?
[LG Optimus G (International)] pooooh:
I updated my Optimus G (Korean Version) to software version FL180L10n. The root method won't work any more.

Googled a lot and saw some comments that this tool is only applicable until version 10m...

Any motivation to sharpen it a little bit and penetrate the new software version?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Gene1985:
The more days go on and the more post i read the more i regret buying my l-01e optimus g. I dont think anyone from the community wants to take on the task since its not a popular variant. I may have to try and sell this ugh. Sad days ahead. Tried coming from a crapple iphone to.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Joyok:
Hey guys, can anyone help me with my problem?

I have a Rogers LGE971 and when I follow the instructions, the cmd says that "The system cannot find the path specified."

I have made sure that i enabled USB debugging and Install from unknown sources.
[LG Optimus G (International)] munkustrap:
Thanks buddy! Still one line not translated...:cyclops:

My adventure with Korean version F180K:

New phone with fw 10h -- updated to 10i fw(REGRETTED!) -- root with this method - failed xx times -- reflashed to fw 10h with kdz-- root with this tool again -- (mistakes?) -- phone hangs! failed to initiate launcher!!! -- multiple tries with adb -- use the rootmanyandroid in Xperia S thread -- boot succeeded! -- rooted! -- wipe -- update to 10i fw -- root still there!

Hope my experience will help you people. Maybe LG had done sth with the update and forbid the root methods.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
The 10h update was released a week ago... You should use original firmware for the root.

By the way didnt lost the root after updating.
[LG Optimus G (International)] munkustrap:
Wish I had seen your comments earlier...:cyclops:

Feel free to share newest information here because my Korean is definitely worse than yours and will need your help.
[LG Optimus G (International)] chevro1et:
Any idea what the firmware update included? My F180L is rooted, on 10m still. Haven't even thought about updating, was concerned about losing root.
[LG Optimus G (International)] pooooh:
I read some posts saying that if you rooted under 10m, you can update to 10n with rooting still on. So no worry.

But if you update to 10n first without rooting, then you can't root any more, at least for now with existing mothods known.
[LG Optimus G (International)] scoobydooby:
Can anyone confirm that apps are freezable using titanium after rooting the lgog?

I have tried to use some other apps to do this but they don't work .

Sent from my LG-E973
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
It says they fixed:

1)Battery drain

2)Low performance fix

3)Camera quality

4)Call quality

Also added Google Movie

But my version is F180K, aka Olleh (Korea Telecom)

So there some chances we will receive different updates.
[LG Optimus G (International)] chevro1et:
Yeah, I can confirm that applying the update does not affect root status. Went from 10m to 10n with no issues. Here is a screenshot of what the update included:
[LG Optimus G (International)] chevro1et:
Yes, you can freeze / defrost apps with Titanium after root. Have done several myself.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Misudoll:
look for help in downloading the relevant kdz for japan version L-01E and the same as the rooting method

THX
[LG Optimus G (International)] germes81m:
Hmm, if bootloader does not unlocked we can't receive KDZ file for japan version?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Misudoll:
kdz is released by LG,nothing to do with the bl.

wait...japan version is released by nttdocomo...I do remember that there are some problems upgrading the software when I use a sharp device in China...the seller on taobao.com(something like eBay in China)helps me to deal with it...I've no idea how he did it

but unlock the bl will let us use the device as we want to
[LG Optimus G (International)] Ilkinansr92:
Anyone with korean lg optimus g please contact me
[LG Optimus G (International)] germes81m:

[LG Optimus G (International)] chacho_2me:
i too will support L-01E Unlockin BL donation..
[LG Optimus G (International)] Misudoll:
not for bootleader ,just unlock the ntt lock and upgrade the system

btw,we may face a serious problem that...although jb(or newer system)for L-01E has been released,we cannot upgrade either cause we are overseas users...the ota will not work out of japan according to my experience on other japan version devices...

hope this won't happen on L-01E:(
[LG Optimus G (International)] germes81m:
Hmm can we unlock ntt lock and upgrade system? My lgog can't find any updates.

When u deal with that seller? Any news?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Misudoll:
the ntt lock is to prevent you using simcard provided by other network providers,so it has been unlocked already,oh you won't use the device out of japan,not for system or bl

I am contacting withmy seller to see if there are some root method&system update in japan,but haven't received any important infos so far...

if some Japanese here help us to deal with this device...that would be better:D

Can u try deal with docomo supps for prov unlock?

Does it matter what kernal or baseband version u have? I got my phone nov 28 and soon as i turned it on there was a software update from att........ just wanted to make sure it wont mess my phone up! Kernal version is 3.0.21
[LG Optimus G (International)] mrmamon:
my japanese skill also limited but i think the l-01e is not rooted yet

i will try to ask them.

i'm asked lg japan about root or bootloader and they said " We are sorry, for inquiries or information, please contact d

ocomo Information Center.

Since L-01E is a docomo's product."

i hope docomo can help us.
[LG Optimus G (International)] germes81m:
thank you,

Can you explain to them, that they can lay out a method as a leak?:laugh:

If there is a root method, then they (Docomo) would also be beneficial, as more phones will be sold.

Such a powerful phone this japanese version, but no root:(
[LG Optimus G (International)] chacho_2me:
really needs the docomo network?

I too believe that we have chosen the best OG... but one of the posts here that when the JB will be released for the L-01E .. we who are outside Japan cannot update it? i know that i have already sim unlock my phone because I am using it now outside philippines... i did notice that we have two updates..the other update tells us that we stll need the docomo sim

so correct me if im wrong...WE CANNOT UPDATE OUR PHONE WITHOUT THE DOCOMO NETWORK?!
[LG Optimus G (International)] Misudoll:
thx, wish you will get some positive replies from NTTdocomo:victory:

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

hi, i post that message according to my use experience on other nttdocomo devices(SHARP SH-01D,panasonic P-01D and toshiba T-01D)

i'm a screen orientation user...so i'm interested in japan version cos most of them do have a pretty good screen and water proof

neither of them can update in my country, the only way to update is sending it back to japan...:crying:

so i guess the L-01E cannot update out of japan either:(

what's worse...i didn't find any stable root methods on these devices before i sold them out...it seems that a number of japan version devices cannot be rooted...

maybe this device is too niche...as nexus japan version can be rooted at the same time==#

wish someone will find a way to root it ==#

bad news, my seller on taobao.com(sth like ebay)replies me finally...

he confirms that we have to send the device to japan if we want to get update...

you may contact your seller on ebay to see if there are any other methods to update==#

Guys have here some japanesse user?

I know many docomo devices very hard to rooting but I hope to any help
[LG Optimus G (International)] Misudoll:
some root method may use kdz files

FOR LG optimus LTE II (F160) ,

push something into it with adb while using kdz to recover it,you will get your device rooted if all steps were done right

it's amazing and at first, it was the only way to root F160

i think if there is a complete kdz file for l-01e, it will help a lot

here are some codes copying from the root.bat for f160

adb.exe push tmp/su /data/local/tmp/

adb.exe push tmp/busybox /data/local/tmp/

adb.exe push tmp/Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/

adb.exe push tmp/rooting.sh /data/local/tmp/

adb.exe shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/busybox

adb.exe shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/rooting.sh

echo.

maybe L-01E could use the same way if we have the kdz files:fingers-crossed:
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
F160 has unlocked bootloader, so i dont think it is right to compare it with F180 which has the locked one.
