Helping you

Many people has sent me help requests about the root relating things. This post should answer all common helps.

Q. The rootkit shows error"cannot stat ..... No such file or directory".

A. The folder name you put the rootkit in is likely Japanese. Place the rootkit in C drive root or some other English-named path.

Q. My games! Lovelive Puzzles&Dragons etc not playable after rooting. Why?

A.It detects root. It is a cheat prevention system of some games and apps. Use the rootcloak. If that is not working and you really want to play that game, then you have to unroot.

Q. My phone does't boot anymore. It stucks on the "docomo" logo.

A.Hold your power button for about 20 seconds to force shutdown. Then hold your power button and the volume up button at the same time to boot up to the recovery. Then restore your phone from the backup file you took.

Q.What do I need for the FOTA update?

A.Stock boot.img and recovery.img and system files.

Q. I did the FOTA update and recovery is looping.

A. That's because you forgot to unroot and the custom recovery is still there. The fix is included in my rootkit. Thanks to antond57.

Q. I did the FOTA update and some error screen came up and the update failed.

A. This indicates that you have modified your system too much to be updated. This is often caused by the xposed framework.

First, you need to root your phone again.

Second, download and install the system installer, boot installer, recovery installer from this thread.

Q. I cant find and install the LG adb driver for the recovery.

Try using the pdanet driver.

my phone is not booting up, so how can I download the system.img to my phone ?

also, if I use adb push system.img will that work ?
[G2 General] mn147:
before rooting/installing ninjakernel. I would like to have a failsafe if I do something wrong and run into problems/bootloop etc. how do I backup the stock rom of our phones and reload it in case I run into problems?

[EDIT] never mind. figured it out. nandroid backup in cwm recovery.

what I meant was how to back up apps and data and launcher layout. but I guess I can just do that with mybackup and nova launcher backup and android sync.

[G2 General] supersonicninja:
I figured out that the "adb push" command can only send file up to 2GB:eek:

So please zip compress the system.img with your PC. It should shrink to 1.9GB. And then adb push it.

Then use the"unzip" command in your twrp to unzip it, and flash it by the "dd" command.
[G2 General] mn147:
so to confirm. I download rootkit to pc, ninjakernel.zip to device. usb debugging on, connection to charge only. plug into pc, run root.exe will root device, install cwm recovery and boot into recovery. then I take nandroid backup in recovery and don't reboot but install from zip the ninjakernel then reboot. finished. yes?

[G2 General] bepari220:
so what would be the dd command if I push the image to /sdcard/system.img

oh ! I'm such a noob :silly:
[G2 General] supersonicninja:
All linux and windows commands are friendly to a noob! They have help. Type

dd --help

to see it.

In your case. You have to use these three commands.

First, zip compress system.img and name it to system.zip or something. Place it with the same folder as the adb.exe in your pc and open the adb shell and type these commands.

adb push system.zip /sdcard/

This sends the file over the USB cable.

unzip system.zip

This unzips the file.

dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system

This copies the file.

The "if=" means "input file" so where to copy from. And the "of=" means "output file" so where to copy to. Pretty obvious.

hay [MENTION=4909105]supersonicninja[/MENTION]

I did everything you said, but when I give the unzip command it just shows that it is unzipping...but after 1 hour it still shows that it is unzipping, whats wrong ?

all these happened after I flashed Ninja Kernel on my L01F10c (rooted, xposed installed) Stock Rom. My phone is not booting up :(

My Phone Condition :

1. Can go to recovery TWRP Touch.

2. Phone Storage 20994 MB

3. Full Wiped including Internal Memory

4. ADB Push works

5. Sideload also works

6. If I press power button : gets stuck at docomo logo with notification LEDs flashing nothing else.

I have all the stock .img files (L01F10c). I also have the L01F11k.kdz file.

Please advise how can I bring my phone back to life
[G2 General] supersonicninja:
If you have the .kdz file, you can extract it for the .dll and the flashable dz file.

See this thread

Hello there - I tried rooting using the zip file in the OP but it seems like there are files missing from the f10 folder. I'm not sure whether the files in the f11 folder are the same or not, so I didn't try to copy them over to the f10 folder. Could you let me know how to proceed? Many thanks!
[G2 General] supersonicninja:
Freezing/deleting system apps are not a good idea. Some apps are called from the system framework. So if you delete apps, the framework may try to start the deleted app infinitely, causing severe CPU usage and battery drain.

Rename in rootkit.bat (make sure that you see the full extension (end) for checked files)

Replace old rootkit.bat on this.

Run it.
[G2 General] hem.acharya:
Hi thanks. but i just looked at the files inside 10C folder and it doesn't have following three files the batch file ( .bat ) is trying to run..

echo Pushing run_root_shell...

.\files\adb.exe push .\files\10c\run_root_shell /data/local/tmp/

can i copy these from \files\ folder and put them inside \files\10c\ folder?

i have 10C software installed in my G2
[G2 General] VaskaPupkin:
Yes, it good idea.

or rename path \10c\ to \11k\

Thanks a lot i finally rooted it. Any idea if i csn use all the custom roms available out here ? I am more interested in miui based roms

[G2 General] hem.acharya:
But as supersonic somewhere mentioned we can use international roms if we replace the boot image and build property file from his rom to the international roms. I am too scared to try it. Just trying my hands on this new phone ?. Got it last week only. However I am in his cm11 rom

Hi guys, I need some serious help.

I bought my L-01F from an online reseller. The phone was already rooted when I got it.

I was browsing around in the hidden menu, trying to change WCDMA bands (can that even be done?) and clicked factory reset. Then the phone booted to CWM recovery (CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.5) and now I cant get out of here.

Did I accidentally delete my current ROM and need to install a new one? I need some serious help here since I have never flashed any ROMs before. Can anyone give me any instructions or direct me somewhere? I would be really happy to get back to stock ROM or maybe you can recommend me a better one? (similar to stock).

I am really grateful if you can help me. I have no idea what to do next.

Thanks

EDIT: it seems I posted this in a wrong thread, I meant to post it to the general Japanese L-01F discussion thread...
[G2 General] hem.acharya:
You could install cm11 release by supersonic ninja the op of this forum. I m using this rom and it works well. Also try to take a backup through recovery before doing so

Do you mean the CyanogenMod form here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2686131 ?

Is it enough to copy the zip to external sd card and then select install zip from external USB from CWM or is there anything else I should do?

thanks
[G2 General] hem.acharya:
Yes you are right do that and you should be good to go
[G2 General] t6nu:
I copied the zip to my external SD card (used the card reader that came with the phone)

Then, in CWM recovery I selected 'Install zip' - 'choose zip from storage/usb' - 'Yes'

And then, in few seconds I get this message:

-- Installing: /storage/usb/cm-1120140513-UNOFFICIAL-l01f.zip

Checking if loki-fying is needed

The whole process took only a few seconds and when I reboot I'm back to CWM recovery again...

[G2 General] t6nu:
Hello, I just returned my phone back to stock (version L01F10c) and lost root access.

Is there any point in doing the official software upgrade to L01F10k? What improvements does it bring? As much as I can understand from Docomos webpage, all improvements are related to Docomos and Japanese stuff, which I don't use anyway. Or am I missing something? (Still no knock-code?)

If I decide to upgrade and get the temporary root, can I delete all the bloatware and make changes using xposed framework while I have root access? Does losing root later affect the changes I have made?

Does using the rootkit provided in the OP automatically install CWM recovey aswell?

Thanks
[G2 General] creaturecool:
This root method does not work on the lf010c... I used the L-01F Rootkit ver6 by supersonicninja, but it instantly closed. So, I downloaded the rootkit.bat by VaskaPupkin but again I had a problem with missing files. SO then I tried to copy the files in the 11k folder to 10c folder, but still couldn't root. This is the screen I got.... I would love some help.

It looks like you're using the Superninja root method. For me, that didn't work and I had the same error.

KBC rooting method.

Install LG G2 drivers HERE (look for ドライバ and click it)

Download the attached .zip file for rooting.

Turn your phone on.

Go to About Phone in Settings.

Tap Build Number 7 times to enable Developer Options

Go to Developer Options and tick Android Debugging or USB Debugging (I forget what it's called)

Connect phone via USB to your PC.

Select USB charging only mode from notifications on your g2.

Unzip the g2_support_tool_v1.7

Double click the file runme.bat

Follow the order in the CMD window.

1. Image backup

2. Install Custom Recovery

3. Get a permanent root (with superuser)

Do 1, then 2, then 3 in that order. If you are successful your phone will reboot automatically and install superuser in CWM.

Do not disconnect your phone.

If you are able to complete 1, 2, and 3, then you can select 9 to exit the root tool and disconnect your phone.

To boot into recovery, turn phone off, then while turning it on again, hold the power button and volume up button (note: USB must be disconnected otherwise it will go into download mode)

I would guess that you would want to return to stock kernel then run the tool after that. I'm not sure if it will work on 10k, so you will have to test it out and let us know. Making a backup should keep you safe.

I am trying to upgrade to Kitkat from my stock Jelly Bean 4.2.2. on my LG G2 (Japanese L-01F). Mine's a NTT Docomo phone (jail breaked by docomo). When I try to upgrade it says it cant be done when not in service or when out of docomo network available region. So to bypass that I understand from XDA forums that the phone shud be rooted and then install kitkat. So I have followed the above procedure (1,2,3,9). It was successful but I am not sure how to go ahead and install kitkat. Can anyone explain step by step how to do that.
