I can not get Windows 8 64bit to recognize my device. Installed the drivers. Multiple USB ports.

Any ideas?
[G2 Android Development] Jorq1H:
Hi guys! I'm having some difficulties rooting my D802.

First I rooted it as explained in OP using ioroot10, and all worked well (installed SuperSU which removed Superuser).

Then I messed up the phone by applying an update.zip from within titaniumbackup which had some system-settings from my Nexus 4 accidentally checked. So the phone became useless (endless "has stopped working"-messages).

So I decided to go back to Stock using This Guide.

Fortunately this worked and my phone became stock once more (although the Rooted-flag wasn't reset). But now I don't seem to be able to root it once more. I have the correct driver and tried running the root.bat. For a while it did the same as the first time, but when I get to the part where one must accept that it will trip LG's rootchecker, it encounters problems:

Mounting system RW and pushing SU, then remounting sustem RO again
mount: Operation not permitted
failed to copy 'su' to '/system/xbin/su': Read-only file system
Unable to chown /system/xbin/su: No such file or directory
Unable to chmod /system/xbin/su: No such file or directory
mount: Operation not permitted
Installing superuser
2801 KB/s <1468798 bytes in 0.512s>
pkg: /data/local/tmp/superuser.apk

Screenshot:

Nothing gets installed; as it states, it cannot mount system Read-Write.

I've tried reflashing the stock rom, factory resetting the phone and tried restarting everything several times.

Now I'm stuck and don't know how to proceed. The phone works, but without root/titaniumbackup I'm not ready to put down my Nexus 4 just yet.

Any help is much appreciated!

Edit:

After a few hours of waiting, switching back to another USB-port (one I've unsuccessfully used before), the ioroot decided to work. Now I were able to install superuser (which I of course replaced with supersu) and my phone is officially rooted once more! :)

Unfortunately, I can't narrow down what caused this to suddenly work. There were as mentioned a cange in USB-port involved, and also a couple of reboots. Damned if I know what ACTUALLY fixed it, though...

You are awesome, this was a piece of cake! Thank you!
[G2 Android Development] Vortex1212:
hey i was wondering if this root would work on the wind mobile d801 as well?.... i know its the same model as t-mobile since they use the same AWS bands, anyone got any idea about this?
[G2 Android Development] Rayan:
I used this method successfully on my T-Mobile G2... The only 'issue' I encountered was that root permissions where automatic and without acknowledgment, this is a major issue for me.

So I fixed this by installing SuperSU right after!

Cheers!

Got this to work tonight thanks for the root
[G2 Android Development] samlikely:
[MENTION=4438119]Vortex1212[/MENTION] I think that it's able to get the device type from ADB, that's the Found ATT, TMO, SKT, or D802 phone! line.

I continued to the next step, but unfortunately I get this same error after I "Press any key to continue..."

So it is able to push superuser.apk to /data/local/tmp but it fails to gain access to /system.

EDIT: I was able to gain root using the T-Mobile version of this method. You can read more about vroot on XDA here.

Im just looking for some advice, i rooted my first LG-G2 fr verizon after the update using this method here and flashed TWRP everything went well but i had to return the phone cus my GPS was really bad, even after i tried all the roms on the thread, eventually return the phone to factory state and still GPS was bad. Got my new phone and i wonder what big difference would be to root first then take update. I knw that rule never take ota but i knew root was also possible with update. I guess im just asking want u guys recommend, thanx

Third

try, I have also changed usb ports. Anyone can say what is the binary file "ytiruces_1a" pushed in to the phone? So I can root it from myself.

My G2 is F320-K with shipping rom(Olleh) updated to latest F320k11d by OTA.

Edit: then solved with vroot and supersu, I prefer this rather than superuser.

[G2 Android Development] ejacsve:
A hopefully simple question. (Asked the same in the IRC channel, but without answer).

I have an D802, branded by tre (3) in sweden, which answers H3G on ".\adb.exe shell getprop ro.build.target_operator". Adding a line to root.bat, "if %RESULT%==H3G GOTO D803Root", should be correct, right? Or could tre (3) have changed something that will cause troubles?

Edit: I missed that it says D803Root... I guess the correct line should be "if %RESULT%==H3G GOTO ATTTMORoot", or?
[G2 Android Development] StreetkillnHD:
I used this method for att at the time and now im hearing from xda dev that the root program is bad and it collects phone data. Is this 100% true because im worried
[G2 Android Development] cyberz:
It is sure? Who is the source? However, after root I have immediately freezed vroot and completely removed it! So now I use supersu!

Regards
[G2 Android Development] ejacsve:
I did it manualy instead, following the steps in the script (except the last one, installed supersu from market insted), and it worked fine.

So if you have a 3 phone and want to add the script, just add "if %RESULT%==H3G GOTO ATTTMORoot" to the root.bat file.
[G2 Android Development] stafly17:
Yeah same here. I already had titanium installed before root. And as soon as i rooted i froze it and installed su and then deleted. No problems since!!!!???
[G2 Android Development] cyberz:
Yeah! In addition, from yesterday monitor my connections with "network connections" app, and I have not seen strange network connections out from the phone.

Mmmm... seem potentially. However, I have no seen wallpaper changed and no outband strange connection. Furthermore, have immediately uninstalled vroot after install and substitute the su executable with the one which supersu has installed(updated).

Stupid question but if you don't trip the rootchecker what can you do with the "root"?

You'r not supposed to type anything except the "Press any key to proceed" one or two times..

I replaced the Superuser app with SuperSU. I don't trust apps that haven't been updated for half a year :/

You can install and change stuff from ADB, but no installed APP will be able to get ROOT.
[G2 Android Development] danipan:
I have international version D802 G2. If i decided to unroot it in the future, will LG know if I rooted it? Will flashing official stock rom delete the root? Because I read some posts that even after unrooting it, there is an indication of root status. And is it permanent? I want to know if international version is also affected or only US carriers.
[G2 Android Development] jesssiii:
Use SuperSU from the play store. If that says binaries need update, choose the "normal" not flash method.

LG G2 VS980 (VZW)
[G2 Android Development] TheWierd:
They should not be able to notice Root as long as you factory reset, but i'm not 100% sure about it though.

As Root is lost when you upgrade though, lets say OTA it should not be able to see that it has been rooted.

It's a different story with for example Samsungs new detection(don't remember the name).
[G2 Android Development] danipan:
I believe factory reset does not affect root. Only flashing official stock rom does but I am not sure though. But my question is will the international version also have root checker or only the Verizon version?

In relation to getting root on the Korean F320L U+ variant running F320L10M. The root process fails to write the Superuser binary but if I boot into download mode it clearly shows Rooted in Red on the screen. I am thinking replacing Superuser with SuperSU might fix this. Any comments

Sorry for lame question. I read about root, but dont know 1 thing. If I will do root, will my warranty go down? My question is if is it possible to flash stock firmware and if everything will be okay about warranty. Had few phones, but no LG so I dont know about methods of protection.
[G2 Android Development] danipan:
If I trip the rootchecker, will the root status stay rooted even after unrooting in D802? Is it permanent or is there a work around?
[G2 Android Development] Univsoldur:
no if you root you have no warranty unless you ruu back to stock
[G2 Android Development] TheBP:
That was my question if is there a way back, unroot, flashig stock... and I dont understand this thing with rootchecker. My english is not very good.
[G2 Android Development] Univsoldur:
Yes look up the term ruu
[G2 Android Development] buljo:
still aint any wiser..

coming from samsung, i ant to familiar with LG yet. will we be able to receive OTA wheen rooted(just reroot), and will unroot remove the "tripchecker"? having a international D802.
[G2 Android Development] Univsoldur:
i come from HTC EVO"S so in the past from what i understand is if you take OTA's like software updates then it removes root from the phone maybe thats not the case with this phone. Typically when taking OTA's its easier for the dev of the ROM to just update his rom to the newest OTA and then you flash that I guess i dont understand why you would want to take OTA's. And quite possibly the term i was using RUU doesnt even exist with this phone maybe its called something else.

---------- Post added at 08:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

yes there is a way back after you root

2. Run the cwm_6044_D802 to install cwm 6.0.4.4

Restart the phone and check root status( Will say no root at the moment...)

3. Run the cwm_6044 again to boot into cwm bootloader mode then..

4. Flash the chainfire SuperSU 1.65.zip to root...

5. Reboot phone and this time phone is rooted.

Verizon Root procedure from halon17.

A fix for rooting the Verizon version for people getting hung up on looking for device is when turning on USB debugging go into USB connection method and set it to Internet then Ethernet before plugging it in.

You have to do that again when you unplug the USB to switch USB debugging off then back on.

After you turn it back on you then switch to Internet then Ethernet then plug it back in.

After this, it should work.

I got it working. You put it in Internet mode when connected and then choose either modem or Ethernet. Only way to get it in USB Debugging. Then if that still doesnt work, try installing this....

http://www.mgyun.com/vroot

You basically do not have the driver installed for everything to work. In my device manager, I had 4 devices that were not installed. When I installed VROOT, one of them was gone and that was all that was needed. The site is in Chinese but isnt to difficult to figure out. Also, make sure you do not have any open ADB processes in task manager before you start.
