How to "root" your Optimus G Pro AT&T ONLY

This does work great. It will allow root.

1. (Optional if you have another means of un-RARing) Download and install 7-zip from here. You need this to open certain types of archives (specifically .rar, but you might also want to open .tar, .bz2, or other types of archives in the future). This program is supremely awesome in its ability to open almost any archive you throw at it. It's also unobtrusive and efficient.

2. Download and install LG USB Drivers from here. Without these drivers, your computer won't be able to effectively communicate with your phone. This is vital for the steps we will be taking.

3. Enable USB debugging by going to Settings->(General)->Developer options" and checking the box next to "USB debugging." You will get warnings. You can probably ignore them. This setting will allow you to run commands on your phone from your computer (via USB). For more info on the Android Debug Bridge, click here.

4. Download and extract (using 7-zip (or whatever)) the root exploit from here.

5. Connect your phone to the computer with your USB cable.

6. Put the phone into "Charge Only" mode at Settings->General->PC connection->USB connection type

7. Open CurrentRoot.bat and follow its prompts. You will need to change from "Charge Only" to "Media sync (MTP)" mode. The setting is in the same place.

8. Run SuperSU (now in your apps drawer) it and make sure it works. This program allows others to gain access to superuser privileges. For more info on rooting and what kind of stuff it lets you do, click here and/or use Google.

No offense but, you literally just copied and pasted this from the original forum. There was nothing added to this that made it custom to our phone other than the title. There might not be a rule against it but I just feel a little weird about it being here. Sort of like a reposted YouTube video.

I followed the instructions and even ran the currentRoot file as administrator after unrar the whole "ZV9-ZVB-Root folder" to the desktop.

After it says root successful, I still couldn't find the superuser in my apps as described. I have downloaded SU from play store and I still have no root access.

Please see the attached pictures of my root process and let me know if I am doing anything wrong.

Whatever I do, attached pictures are coming upside down. Sorry!

returning to stock from root?

At this point in development, if I root my phone and do softbrick or bootloop it how can I return to stock setup? With the bootloader locked is this not possible at this state. I would like to go ahead and root , but I feel as though there is no safety net. What are the alternatives....

After all the above has been done, should I turn off USB Debugging?

When I went into SuperSU in the app drawer, all that shows up is Root Checker Basic, and there is a log for RCB. Should there be anything else showing?

Under settings....Enable Superuser, Re-authentication, and show notifications are checked. Is this proper?

If I had to go into AT&T for whatever reason, can they easily check if I am rooted? In SuperSU there is an option for "full unroot". If I were to hit that and then remove the SuperSU and Root Checker, would all of the root be unfindable by the reps at AT&T?

Make sure USB Debugging is enabled in Developer Options on your phone. And try putting the phone in PC Software mode when you plug it in. That may kick start it for you.
[LG Optimus G Pro] martinezma99:
OK. I had to install minimal ADB and Fastboot.

Then, extract and transfer all root files to ADB and Fastboot folder.

Hi Guys

i am trying to root my:

Optimus LG pro L-04E device, with this method:

I am doing:

Put the phone into "Charge Only" mode at Settings->General->PC connection->USB connection type

Open CurrentRoot.bat and follow its prompts. You will need to change from "Charge Only" to "Media sync (MTP)" mode. The setting is in the same place.

then when i am continue with the script i got:

D:\L04E\ZV9-ZVB-Universal-Root\ZV9-ZVB-Universal-Root>adb shell

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: Operation not permitted (1) -

Just use towelroot, very easy. Go to www.towelroot.com on your phone's browser, download the apk, install it, run it. ur rooted. Then you can go install supersu, Freegee and busy box.

thanks

Ok i used towelroot then then downloaded root checker and it says am rooted. thanks

what the purpose of freegee? thanks
[LG Optimus G Pro] mpooyan83:
Freegee will allow you to flash CWM or TWRP custom recovery, for flashing custome Roms. if you dont want to flash custom roms, you dont need freegee. It only works on the 4.1.2 stock firmware. If you have 4.4.2 (20h,g,....) it wont work.

I have difficulties understanding how come nobody has managed to understand the efs folder deeply, especially regenerating the correct imei which is the crook in most cases. Because as i see it, the nv_Data.bin is regenerated when deleted, but the imei is in developer mode which needs to be corrected.

Where have you been xda hackers all these years :D Someone needs to decrypt the nv_data.bin

I haven't asked him if he can send it to service center. Probably.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptor18:
oh yeah, i forgot, we have rooted it and flashed another fw. Wouldn't the service center be suspicious why the imei is broke and figure out we have rooted it = warranty void?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
Yes they will. But before you take it to them there is nothing to stop you resetting the flash counter with Triangle Away (latest version works with I9505) before flashing the original firmware with Odin. If it's a genuine firmware it won't increase flash count. You will then have a stock unmodified phone with a corrupt IMEI.

Could be a problem with newer Samsung phones and their construction. I have a friend who has a Galaxy S3 (not Note 2) who's gone through FOUR phones so far -- all of them with the same problem of the charging port dying after a while. T-Mobile's insurance company is starting to give him dirty looks, poor guy ...

He gets intermittent charging before the phone stops charging completely. Now his phone is hooked up to the charger constantly while he's at home because of battery issues, so it's possible he's putting excessive strain on the charging port. My thinking is that it's a hardware issue rather than software, but who knows with these things.

Power usage

Hi,

I first saw this when I was using my sat nav app in the car, I turned off the Performance optimised when plugged in option in favour of a lower power option and the problem went away. As I get more applications on my phone I see this more and more.

Could this be the power usage of the phone? The charge will supply 500ma, if the phone is already using a good portion of that the battery will not charge, so the phone shows the charge intermittently as the phone uses slightly more and slightly less power when the cpu, etc wakes and sleeps. More apps running uses more time on the cpu so more power. And of course as the battery gets older this would display itself more.

Just an idea based on what I've seen...
