Trying to root my V10 (H961N variant) using this, but no good :(

after executing:

sh /data/local/tmp/lg_root.sh dummy 1 /data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp/busybox

send_command returns me with a: FAIL

does that mean we cannot root H961N using this method?

Or could it be me that did something wrong?
[Android General] Unjustified Dev:
This method has been patched in newer devices.
[Android General] momomok:
So I have to wait for another newer root method then?
[Android General] TheBishop51:
You can try extract the system.img and then inject the root if you want to do a lot of fiddling - there is a guide somewhere on xda, I think its part of the G4 forums so you won't be able to copy paste commands you'll have to do a lot of the dirty work yourself. That's how the G4 was able to get root on Lollipop. If you're not on lollipop then you will have to wait, I guess.
[Android General] bmann_420:
Ive tried every root method possible with this new g4 on 110n. Nothing is working. In this particular instance this is what I got:

Here is a silly question: it seems that in the past people succeeded in extracting and repacking KDZ files. Wouldn't it be possible to create a pre-rooted 20A/B KDZ this way and flash it via a LGUP?
[Android General] bender_007:
You mean system.img and not kdz?

Poslano sa mog LG-H815 koristeći Tapatalk
[Android General] xrad:
I mean the system.img that's burried somewhere in the KDZ file. KDZ is the only format we can flash onto those H815s which cannot be unlocked. So the question is: is it possible to unpack-modify-repack a KDZ so that it's still recognized as a valid input file by LGUP? Probably not, but I haven't found any discussion of that and want to make sure.
[Android General] bender_007:
I think you can go with the prerooted system.img (not kdz). You can extract it. You also might be able(maybe) to flash the system.img in download mode via "dd". But currently we can't create kdz's(or at least it's not out for publicl

[Android General] xrad:
For the records, I was thinking about what was discussed here. But it's not (yet) possible to inject root into a KDZ.

how i can root lg 960A (v10) ""???
[Android General] gsx1000r02:
In the OP, how long does step 6 take to complete? The flashing of the firmware, mine has been chillin for about 10 mins or so... TIA
[Android General] xrad:
Step #6 is putting the device into DL mode and waiting for the drivers to be ready. Should complete next to instantly.

Note also that this method only works for V10 firmwares (Lollipop), but not with V20A/B ones (Marshmallow).
[Android General] xrad:
BTW, I have posted here some technical bits about how this stuff works, and why doesn't work anymore with 20A/20B firmwares. Perhaps someone picks this information up and finds a way to revive the method.
[Android General] Ciccius-IT:
So, if I want to root Lollipop with this method how can I also have a functioning version of TWRP? Could someone with enough patience explain me the right steps?

One more and I will leave you alone. Flashify or Fastboot ? Any pro's or cons to either, keep in mind my limited but learning knowledge on this.
[Android General] Unjustified Dev:
With flashify you don't need a computer.
[Android General] cpshelley2:
personally, i've never used flashify... i'm sure it's easy, but i'm used to everything being done in fastboot.. plus, most guides on the internet have instructions for fastboot, and it's a nice thing to know how to work with anyways.

but that's just me.
[Android General] lowender62:
I am more a pc guy, although a user not a programmer, but I think I will try fastboot and keep on learning. Worse case I can fall back and use Flashify. Thanks to you a and Unjustified for the tips!!
[Android General] mrhaley30705:
Has anyone on a D850 unlocked fastboot and installed twrp?
[Android General] Unjustified Dev:
I believe all LG devices on L have locked boot loader and there's no bypassing with bump like you would on kk.

Should this work on a VS980 (Verizon LG G2) running stock lollipop (39a)?
[Android General] MicroMod777:
Please try..... :)
[Android General] RandomPooka:
I guess I should have clarified.

Has anyone running with a Bumped device/recovery/bootloader tried using this to boot a custom ROM without Bump?

I'm on an LS990 and I don't see any reason to go switching to this if what we have is working ok
[Android General] jonstrong:
Too late tonight - too tired. Got up at 4am in New Jersey this morning, flew to Atlanta for work (consulting client here), and have to get up early in the morning for another full day. Much as I'd like to try tonight, it would be pretty awful if I mangled my VS980 tonight and had to deal with it before work tomorrow.

This thread has started to get attention - as you might guess. There's a thread featuring forced install of the 39A lollipop update for the VS980 (found on VzW servers) -- 100% stock lollipop for the VzW LG G2. If this works on that device, it will be a major milestone -- this is the thread:

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-g2/development/rom-vs980-39a-lollipop-t3048690

I think it's likely to be tried there sometime over the next 24 hours... :)
[Android General] high247:
This happened to me a few times in a row... I kept getting the blank prompt... I almost gave up, but somehow with the blank prompt still my phone still got rooted.

After last step when you reboot your phone you should see Android updating and boom you are rooted.

So yeah, sometimes you can get root with the blank prompt, so just keep trying my friend it does work on my LG LS660 100%.
[Android General] lowender62:
What he said. It was the same for me.
[Android General] high247:
Yeah I told people in the other thread and saw his message, so figured I'd share that here too.

I'd say if you get a blank prompt let it sit a minute, then unplug battery, reboot phone (you should see android updating if root did work after reboot like I did), check for root, if you have root awesome your done, if not retry doing Send_Command.exe again.

Hope that helps with the blank prompt confusion. :laugh:
[Android General] gsx1000r02:
Ok so I'm rooted now... Woohoo, but now without unlocked boot loader there is no twrp. Will safestrap work or something of the like? How do we nandroid backup?
[Android General] crazyflamesai:

"#" is your command prompt (for the admin or "root" user). If you have a command prompt, it is not stuck. It sounds like it is waiting for your next command.

[Android General] xrad:
Have you used the exact same Update-SuperSU-2.46 that is mentioned in the OP? You must not use any other version, because this rooting method executes the SuperSU install commands in a special environment (the download mode, that is.) So an other (newer) SuperSU may come with different install instructions and it wouldn't work.

PiggyFlooper, what that script u meant does? It can make KingRoot have an improved "rate" to root?
[Android General] PiggyFlooper:
that's about where mine got stuck at, used apk on android rebooted, went back in and it finished. The script was an updater-script in a flashable zip that got rid of kingroot by using dummy files and deleting them(cant remember who made it but it was disguised as something else, as to not piss off maker of KR), Kingroot just seems intrusive, but it's a go between to root and then use SuperSU or your favorite app to take care of root requests
