Would you mind attaching updated su, busybox SuperSu and rooting.sh and img of hex editor to you post, I'll edit my 1 post and put link to your guide. Nicely writen !

After rooting I would probably suggest

adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/rooting.sh

adb shell touch /data/local/tmp/rooting.sh

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rooting.sh

There are a couple things I would like to point out on cmahendra's flashing guide..

1) The original guide by adixtra mentioned somewhere along the line you have to "Turn "windows enabler.exe" and switch to the "ON" position( left click on icon)". I was having trouble getting the LG program to flash until I turned on "windows enabler". My trouble was either due to this or/and..

2) You have to install "B2CAppSetup.exe" that's included in the package. If you don't you will get a error when trying to flash your phone and if you use a newer version of "B2CAppSetup.exe" it will not work.

I would like to thank..

Lelus for coming up with the idea and method on getting root.

artit for putting together the tutorial to get root.

saturnianalien for uploading the already modified binary.

cmahendra FOR PUTTING TOGETHER ALL HIS GUIDES! It must have took a lot of time to do but it makes things a lot easier for people new to LG phones. I'm used to Samsung and HTC so this LG flashing stuff was foreign to me. I've also noticed cmahendra is very active on the Optimus L9 forums and quite helpful. Thank-you cmahendra for everything you have done for the community :good:

Re: root p769 v10g and possibly other variants

Find "hdcp.sh" in the bin file (in the 6th bin file at address bc2000 if you have P769 V10g), that's where you point it to rooting.sh instead. New lines will appear as dots in the text section of the hex editor, but aren't actually dots. Put 0a in the hex side to represent new line. An actual period will be 2e, so don't confuse them. Have a look at the rooting comparison image provided by lelus for clarification.

Re: root p769 v10g and possibly other variants

That's because I already performed the LGExtract on the kdz and simply uploaded the modded binary and MD5 in a compressed 7z file (peazip will extract it). You will need the KDZ for the regular flashing process though, so go here /showthread.php?t=2107971 and download the appropriate KDZ. After you've pushed your files as per the instructions in this thread, you'll need to flash your KDZ and copy the modded binary to C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone while it's flashing and only after you see the flash program completely extract the unmodded binary. The flashing guide is here /showthread.php?t=2085344. Be sure to install B2C beforehand (it's in the same folder as the flashing program) and make sure shttps is in the EXACT directory that they say. The Software Upgrade mode is achieved by unplugging the USB, turning the phone OFF, then holding down volume up and inserting the USB (do not touch power button).
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] gg7a:
Thanks!

I originally thought that V10G is different from 10g. :) Have to get used to your jargon here.

I have other problem: I am trying to follow steps for offline flashing and I my device is not recognized then powered off + volume up + connecting to usb. Windows tries to find drivers for OMAP, but can't and therefore device is not properly connected. Also in my devices I have Modems-> LGE AndroidNet USB Modem and in Universal Serial Bus controllers I do not have anything with LGE ..

I am complete noob to phone rooting, even though I had previously custom modified PC BIOS roms and flashed it successfully...

Re: root p769 v10g and possibly other variants

You just need to install the LG USB Driver. Artit has provided the link already. It should be named something like LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN38AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.8.1.exe. The V in V10g just means version. Ignore what the other guy said about old concepts. Flashing on a phone is similar to BIOS flashing. However, chips on smartphones use NAND logical gates and use an architecture other than Intel x86. For example, the ARM architecture. Also, unlike BIOS, the ROM in a smartphone contains the whole OS and is quite partitioned. Example partitions: boot, recovery, fastboot, system, dalvik-cache, cache, userdata

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cmahendra:
Thanks for your suggestions and appreaciatiosn. :) GOD bless us and our L9 :D

1) My GuideBook is based on unknown_world's post of offline fix flashing and not much from adixtra. I have made many changes in the process by myself. My procedure does not recommend running windows enabler and B2CAppSetup.exe. Trust me it works perfect everytime.

Though adixtra's post mentioned to turn on "windows enabler.exe", it works even without running it at all. You can try both ways. For me and everyone else, it always worked without enabling it. (THE SECRET, I HAVE DELETED THAT ENABLER FILE FROM MY PERSONAL FOLDER AND IT WORKS) Results may vary, depending on Windows OS and Firewalls, etc.

2) I dont remember I ever run "B2CAppSetup.exe". All you have to run only is "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe" The (FOOLED) LG UPDATE TOOL is executed automatically, once you are through this program.

This information is great and you guys are great for figuring this out. However I am a super noob. This is my first and only Android phone (Tmobile LG Optimus L9 P76910g) and I have never rooted any type of Android phone before. (I have rooted some old Palm Treo 680s or rather just loaded a custom ROM, they were super easy but I bricked one of those because the power went out).

It seems like this is the perfect solution but I would like to ask if someone can post a step by step guide "For Dummies" and noobs like me. I mean detail every single step and what we should see and even screen shots and pictures would be helpful. Actuallly a YouTube video would be even better.
