TowelRoot does not work on LG Optimus L9 II (D605).

But in /system/xbin appears 2 files: su, daemonsu with recent change date. And 1 file appears in /system/etc/: install-recovery.sh

I guess these files placed here by TowelRoot.

LG Root Checker Tool says that I have Root.

But I can't install SuperSU 2.0 (it says that i have no root). And RootChecker says that i have no root.

So, I think the problem is that root file system / mounts with read only. And SuperSU can't update SU files there. But TR someway puts (su, daemonsu, ...) in correct path (but incorrect version).

Sorry for my English :)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] 4Freedom:
Hmm... something strange

supersu is used to manage root permission to the apps, so did u tried to test a root app that wrote to /system ? for example root explorer is able to read or write file into system partition?(also without supersu)

and are u sure that u havent tried other exploit? maybe those file in /xbin came from another tool :/

try to upload root checker screenshot too :)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] dSERiES:
I meant the scpript in this file. (from Varcain's thread).
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] giperborey:
This fix just only add 1 string (/system/etc/install-recovery.sh &) in standart init.engdo.post_boot.sh file.

So I tried to execute install-recovery.sh direct from the /system/etc/ but it does not has any effect.

Anyway I can't write this fix to /system because it mounted read only.

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ----------

1) Yeah, but these apps can't write files because / mounted with read only by defaults :(

2) Yes, since i bought phone I tryed only TowelRoot so I ensure that exactly TR wrote files in /system/xbin and /system/etc
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] 4Freedom:
su work on adb?

if yes, did u tried to remount /system to read and write from adb?

something like this

mount -o remount,rw /system /system
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] giperborey:
It seems that su doesn't work.

$ mount -o remount,rw /

mount: Operation not permitted

$ id

uid=2000(shell) gid=2000(shell)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] 4Freedom:
before the "mount..." you need to write su and then press enter

if an hastag # will appear u are root else not

[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] giperborey:
NOTE!!! Don't try it. I've just softbrick my phone ))))))

GeoHot fixed all problems with D605 in TowelRoot 2.0!

So I have root now :)

upd: hmm.... seems like some bugs there. I'll test it and write respond here.

V2 work on d605, but if reboot system, root is lost, and is costricted to use awaine tawelroot..

It work only supersu 1.94..

sorry for my english...
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] giperborey:
So. I got it :) Thanks to all!

1) Download and install TowelRoot.

2) Varcain's patch

Add string "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh &" to the end of /system/etc/init.engdo.post_boot.sh

or just simply replace it by Varcain edited version

this file.

It's neccessary to get root after each boot.

NOTE!!! YOU MUST SAVE ORIGINAL PERMISSIONS TO THAT FILE (rw-, r--, r--)

3) Delete last string "/system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh" from the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

NOTE!!! YOU MUST SAVE ORIGINAL PERMISSIONS TO THAT FILE (rwx, r-x, r-x)

Congratulation! You get rooted phone :)

If you want to fix KitKat SD-Card restrictions just edit one file: Link

IMPORTANT NOTE:

When I did it the first time, I tried to install SuperSU 2.0 from the Market. It did not want to upgrade properly. Finally I got a soft-broken phone and repaired it by kdz firmware flasher. I'm not sure that the reason of soft-brick was SuperSU, but without it root works fine.

Sorry for my English! :)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] sam150580:
work fine whit supersu 1.94 :)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] dSERiES:

Thanks brother, 2 version unlocked my LG d605 easily. Putted in super Su 194, busy box, edited named files to right one.

Everything works and after reboot. Thanks, happy user. Donating.

Ps, can you update your v2 for future users, just in case. Not everyone is able to edit system files :)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] giperborey:
I'm not a developer, lol :) TowelRoot wrote Geohot.

I just described how I managed to root my phone without any troubles :)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] cukierkas:
hello. another thing.

as I didn't had any proper text editor, I did replaced post boot sh with vercain version.

afterwards Bt just wont boot, I'm not able to turn it on, it fails with message, that bloetooth stoped working.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] giperborey:
I wrote that you should save original access permissions on replaced files. I had the same thing when I did it for first time. If you will not manage to return original permission you should to flash your phone with stock KitKat kdz.:(
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] cukierkas:
I did that for sure, checked it twice :)

ps, can someone upload original file??

sadly forgetted to back-up it.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] giperborey:
Hm... Did delete last string "/system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh" from the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh ? And are you sure that you did not update SuperSU?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] cukierkas:
supersu updated automatically, I was on wifi. is that caused all that trouble?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] giperborey:
I'm not sure, but when I soft-bricked my phone (same as you) I tryed to root it without SuperSU install. And it worked.

Read my post carefully. I described all steps that finally led me to success.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] cukierkas:
thanks, i did that. checked, right permissions.

anyway, bt still the headache.

camera was not working as well, but that was kitkat's rw permission. removed string and camera works.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] giperborey:
Did you manage to solve problem with phone?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] cukierkas:
I did a factory reset. Afterwards bt won't start, but device is working properly.

Can you upload somewhere the original boot.sh and platform.xml for me?

Don't know wich mod to blame, modified file by varcain or kitkat modification for SD card in platform.xml.

Everything was done strictly as it written, permissions are correct.

Not a baby in Android, so thinking about mistakes in a code. In mentioned boot.sh or in platform.xml.

By the way, root, camera works perfectly, xposed works as well, only Bluetooth left. And the SD card write, because, when camera storage location is choised at sd- it's not working. And I don't like pictures stored at main drive. So for that reason kitkat mode meanwhile is not active.

Thank you for supporting. Still waiting for mentioned files and blaming myself for being dump for not making copies :)

Regards.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] giperborey:
You'd better flash original KitKat rom instead of troubleshooting.

You can see how to flash: here

Than after boot: Settings -> Backup&Reset -> Reset

It will fix your phone. After that you can root your phone as described in my post. If you wish I'll describe step by step how I rooted my phone after kdz flashing.

The Note 3 Neo sports an 8 MP camera with BSI (Back-Side Illuminated) sensor. Like most Samsung phones, the Neo lets you snap pictures while recording a video. This feature comes in quite handy.

You also get different camera modes including Dual Shot, Drama Shot, Cinema Shot, Sound & Shot, Eraser, Best Face, and Beauty Face.

Wanam Xposed (NOT WANAM KIT/ ANY OTHER WANAM MODULE) is probably the most compatible for the S5, as it it built with touchwiz. Even with that, however, not everything works. Lockscreen mods don't work, some theming things don't work, and sms mms settings are not stable.
