Root this method Running Ubuntu

Hey Guys, I was folllowing the root proceedure step by step. I have a 16 GB microSD card that I made one partition on it EXT2. Using Minitool. But i Must have inputed something wrong because when I run the ext2fsd to make the partition readable. It doesn't work or give me the same options. I only created a 1 gb partition in the very front of the card.

I have Ubuntu studio dual booting. Does anyone know how to do the same thing using only linux?? If so could please help??
[LG Optimus L90] s-android:
I NEED stock rom for g2mini dual
[LG Optimus L90] sammyz:
It's that phone GSM or CDMA? I heard cricket merged with AT&T, so I assume GSM?
[LG Optimus L90] dragonlancer83:
You are correct sir it is gsm
[LG Optimus L90] sammyz:
then I am going to assume it's very similar to the MS323. You said it was rooted?

Has anyone tried Towelroot on the TMo L90 yet? I have a friend who wanted me to root his, but there hasn't been a root method as of yet...
[LG Optimus L90] autoprime:
towelroot should work on LG Optimus G, G2, G3, G2 Mini, G Pro, G Pro 2, G Flex, L70, L80, L90, Nexus 4 and 5 and other LG models.

install apk - run app - reboot - install supersu ﻿in Play store - open supersu and update su binary if it asks
[LG Optimus L90] Sabbathuy:
Towelroot seems to have worked on my G2 Mini (it says "rooted" on Root Checker). I installed Supersu but it´s not letting me update the SU Binary.

Is that a problem ? Newbie here :)
[LG Optimus L90] autoprime:
not being able to update su binary is a mentioned bug in geohots thread... but I didn't have the issue on my LG G2.

If you can run root apps you're probably fine. Perhaps there's a way to update su and daemonsu manually.. I'm not sure if doing it thru something like root explorer/es file explorer would work. someone would have to post the updated binary.

update**

apparently if you download the latest supersu directly from chainfire it fixes the binary not updating issue.

"My SU binaries won't update?

I think the version of SuperSU in the play store isn't up to date. Use:

download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip"

[LG Optimus L90] crutchcorn:
Nothing on that so far. This root method only works due to a boot time vaunerability. So that doesn't help us with recovery. So far my best advice is to keep using titanium backup.

I could root my l 90 very easy with the new towel root from geohot. Simply download towel root .apk and install as an normal app.

then you open the app and with the button " make it rain your device will reboot and is full rootet .by downloading root checker from

playstore you can verify root on your device
[LG Optimus L90] Ilxaot:
The L90 is not unlocked. I created the L90 Reference Thread, so I've read every post. Let me clarify some things -

The bootloader on the D415 (TMO and MPCS) is NOT unlocked.

However, a user managed to somehow access stock recovery, which was unmanageable before.

So, D415 = Stock recovery, but ≠ Unlocked bootloader.

Sorry for any confusion that's been spread. (:

I've been trying.

Can't get it into recovery mode. Really starting to tick me off because the LG Optimus Zone 2 (the same exact phone as far as I can tell) manual tells you how to get into recovery mode. Doesn't work with the Optimus Fuel.
[LG Optimus L90] ibub:
Same here. Haven't tried adb yet. Been gathering necessary software/ hardware. I did do a little research though, and as far as I can see from the updater script in the zip, the mount statement is correct for the fuel. :) All this does is flash superuser.apk to /system/app, it's binary and daemon to /system/xbin, and install_recovery.sh to /system/etc. (and set permissions). Only question is whether or not we will be able to access recovery. I'll post any success or failure as my attempts proceed...brother :);)

Edit: Manual for fuel says the same.
[LG Optimus L90] vwnut13:
Well, I just found out that the Factory Data Reset process is different for the Optimus Zone 2 than it is for the Optimus Fuel.

Off to try the Fuel process. Fingers crossed!

EDIT:

1 Turn the phone off.

2 Press and hold the Power/Lock Key + Volume Down Key .

3 Release the Power/Lock Key when the LG logo is displayed.

4 Press the Power/Lock Key again within 3 seconds.

5 When the Factory data reset screen appear, release all keys.

6 Use the Volume Keys to highlight Yes and press the Power/Lock Key

to confirm.

7 Use the Volume Keys to highlight Yes and press the Power/Lock Key

to confirm one more time.

8 Your phone will perform a factory reset.

I really hope someone figures out a way to root this phone. In the meantime, at least we have the Google Now Launcher so we don't have to see the crap LG launcher. Now if only I could replace all of the LG apps with the Stock Android versions...

[LG Optimus L90] vwnut13:
And LG is a big help.

When you ask why you can't access Recovery Mode like the manual says, they tell you that you need to contact Tracfone for support. I'd do that, but I guarantee that Tracfone is going to tell me to contact LG for Support.

The best part is, LG linked me to the Tracfone website, which is where I found the LG manual in the first place. Yeah, maybe if I read the manual again it will magically work. Aaaargh!

I've Successfuly Rooted my LG-D415 (T-Mobile)

While from what I can tell there has not been a work around for the locked recovery. The exploit used in the Towel Root app, did root my device. Here are the steps that I've taken.

1. Turn off the App-Scan feature of Lookout Security.

- Lookout will Automaticly delete any apks/apps that are related to exploiting android. Gaining root access is essentialy exploiting your phone. So just disable it.

2. Download Towel Root from towelroot.com.

- Click on the logo to begin the download and maybe donate while your at it ;)

3. Enable Installing Unknown Apps in your settings.

4. Install Towel Root, and run the application.

5. Tap "Make it Ra1n", and your phone should now be rooted. To play it safe, I rebooted my phone before proceeding.

6. Download and install SuperSU from the Play Store.

- Run the app after installation is done, it will prompt you to Update SU, select normal, when the update is done reboot your device.

7. I would also recommend installing Busybox from the Play Store.

- You will also need to launch the app to begin the install process.

That's pretty much it, my phone is now fully rooted. Wifi Tether is running very well. On a side note, alot of the Root Wifi Tether apps I tried did not work in their default configurations. I've found that OpenGarden Wifi Tethering seems to work the best on thise device. I had to change the Device Profile to Auto-Detect, and Setup-Method to WEXT (Ad-hoc) in the settings menu.

If you create a new APN using IPv4 you should also be able to get Barnacle Wifi Tethering working as well.

Good luck everyone! :)
[LG Optimus L90] vwnut13:
So, I just chatted with Straight Talk. They told me that the 'Hard Reset (Factory Reset)' mode wasn't working because the phone hadn't been activated yet, and once it is activated it will work.

So, is this a load of BS, or are they telling the truth? If it is the truth, will this be the stock recovery, or some LG/StraightTalk recovery mode where this method won't work?

I think my sister's boyfriend just bought one of these to replace his broken ZTE Piece-o-Crap. (Yeah, StraightTalk Smartphone options were pretty crappy). I'll have to try this on his phone and see what kind of recovery mode I get.

With developers setting enabled and usb debugging set. Wants to connect in only one of 3 modes (charger, mtp, ptp) . Tried repeatedly to manually access recovery using different key combinations, to no avail. Even performed factory reset from running OS, in the hope that I'd be able to sidestep the process.
