Hello,

In my LG L90 (D405N V.20a) does not.

I've tried with all methods (less Vroot and Kingroot) and so far without success.

This situation happens to someone else?

thank you

greetings,

Well, i want to root my D850 with my macbook pro, but i guess that's impossible. Since i refuse to buy a PC, just for rooting, i'll go rootless. I must be the only person on Earth who has a mac, but prefers android over apple.:(
[Android General] bender_007:
Macs died years ago. A pc with an intel inside is a pc :)

Can't you just try running the script on some other computer?
[Android General] Danny 0311:

He says that if i want a phone that "just works", i should get an iPhone. I want the ability to customize my phone, so the iPhone is out. I've never used a PC, so i guess i'd better learn, if i want to root any phone.:p

P.S.- I just can't believe that people who are knowledgeable enough to make a "root kit" for a PC, can't also make one for a Mac.:(

A few page ago, there's a python script that do the same thing that the send_command.exe used here on windows.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60557353

I imagine that it can be used on mac, as it can be on linux, no ?

You need drivers too and adb, i don"t know if it can be found for your device on mac that i never used.

[Android General] DominikToretto:
Many THANX!!!

I can't manage to root my LG G2 D802 on stock Lollipop 5.0.2.

I read other threads and some said I cannot root stock Lollipop if I wasn't rooted before (on KitKat or JellyBean).

I don't know if it was true, but one click and other scripts didn't work for me. I was stuck at download mode. I was waiting then reboot, but nothing happened :(

With this method I was successful! :D:laugh:

Rooting Via Linux qcdlcomm.py Script

[MENTION=6093796]jacob019[/MENTION]
[MENTION=4479135]jac10000[/MENTION] I think [MENTION=5617673]hongtae2013[/MENTION] situation may be different from yours as it's one I'm encountering with my Volt.

What we're expecting and what looks to have happened for you is getting the "ui_print" echo statements. Hong and I are not getting those statements.

1) # <type> ENTER

2) # <type> sh /data/local/tmp/lg_root.sh dummy 1 /data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp/busybox

3) <expect a whole bunch of ui_print echos>

4) # <type> LEAVE

...<do whatever else it takes to get the phone to reboot>

I even changed the script a little by adding "echo -n -e "test $1\n$2\n$3\n$4\n" > /proc/self/fd/$OUTFD" at the top.

However, I DID find that when I reboot and then go back into "Download-Mode", it DOES say "root" in red. On the other hand, SuperSU is not an app in the system and no rooting seems to have taken effect.
[Android General] bokonon9:
Thanks Unjustified Dev!

Device: AT&T LG G2 D800

Tried this last night on stock D80030f (LL 5.02).

This was after going back to KK D80020c with the LG Flash Tool and taking OTA updates 20y and 30f (LL 5.02).

I first tried the GUI of this One Click it would hang at 90% and couldn't seem to make contact with my G2 in download mode. The script method seemed to work better, but also did not finish.

Then I tried following Unjustified Devs Root Guide that the One Click was based on but couldn't get passed step 8. My PC just wouldn't recognize my phone in download mode for some reason.

When I looked at my phone I saw SU and realized that I likely did get root even though the script didn't seem to complete successfully.

I tried using this AutoRec application and it seemed to work flawlessly (SU granted root permissions successfully). Rebooted to recovery and found TWRP v2.8.6.1.

I have yet to try to flash anything in TWRP but I did successfully make a backup.

I'll report back on how flashing this goes but this root and recovery method seems ideal to what I was trying before.

Before I was trying to root 20c with ioroot, install TWRP 2.7 with AutoRec, then manually update TWRP and the bootloaders and it was just messy.

BEFORE Encrypting

[MENTION=6093796]jacob019[/MENTION]

OK, when it didn't work when I finally installed Windows-10 (horrible) on a separate partition after resizing which also failed (luckily I had a backup), a thought jumped to the forefront of my head... there is NO way the script is going to be able to read/write on the encrypted drive on the phone while in Download-Mode.

I:

1) went back into Ubuntu

2) factory reset my phone

3) adb pushed the files before doing ANYTHING with the phone,

4) went into Download-Mode on the phone

5) ran the script and got feedback (output) from the python script

6) got back into the phone and saw SuperSU.

Summary:

Does the script fail? Check if your phone is encrypted.

Successfully rooted my Sprint LG Tribute with the guide located here. There were two issues which arose:

1. adb.exe failed to run with error message stating that it was out of data so I replaced it with a more current version

2. When executing the following command:​

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

It appeared to be hung at both PC's Command prompt and phone's download screen? However, after powering the phone off then on, I found it was successfully rooted. Anyone care to comment on the cause of these two issues?​
[Android General] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
you just need a custom recovery and flash the SuperSU.zip and that alone should give you root xposed is a added benefit or security risk depending on how you look at it

There's a guide on af that will work for downgrading to .d:

http://androidforums.com/threads/unbrick-guide-lg-leon-lte-metropcs-lgms345-kdz-firmware.923914/

I rooted my Metropcs Leon ms34510b (5.0.2) with the script using the universal lg driver 3.8.1 that the T-Mobile LG update tool installed. After finally rooting it, the play store won't install or update anything. The steps I took were so convoluted that I'm not sure what I was doing wrong before, but here's the summary:

Phone is set to USB debugging, ptp mode.

After running the batch script, it seemed like it was soft bricked because it was sitting at the metropcs logo for like ten minutes. I unplug it from usb and pull the battery. Then it rebooted on it's own twice, both times took ten to fifteen minutes. Then finally it rebooted and I could put supersu on it and all was well with the world :good:

The script hangs at "waiting for reboot and looking for lg serial port" (adb wait-for-device) but it did root!
[Android General] Tomsgt:
will this root method work on the LG G4 and if not can you explain why? I see that there is a new thread for rooting the LG G4 but it doesnt make any sense to me why you need to flash the system.img when you can just force the supersu.zip install like in your thread. Is it because of some kind of bootloader or kernel check on system?

Thanks
[Android General] Unjustified Dev:
As far as I know, you no longer have the ability to use the sh command in newer LG download mode. This was LG attempt to block this method, but apparently they didn't block allowing images to be flashed with dd command so G4 devs made a stock prerooted system image that you can flash to your system partition from send command.
[Android General] Tomsgt:
ok so the sh command was block and thats why your method cant be used. that makes sense thanks

T-mobile USA won't work

I am on T-Mobile and I can't get this to work. I followed the OP instructions. I downloaded the T-Mobile sytems.rooted file and placed on my internal SD. I made sure my drivers were installed. I then followed steps 1, 2, and 3, which was downloading the LG Root folder, making sure USB debugging was enabled, and navigating with Command Prompt to the location of the LG Root folder. I then went to step 6, as indicated in the OP, powered off the device, held volume up and reconnected the USB, booting into download mode. Once in download mode, I see the Firmware Update, but it stays at zero and nothing happens. It just stays there at 0%. I followed everything exactly as the OP stated. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I downloaded this a while ago to root my daughters Stylo and it worked great. Now theCubed has released the root instructions for the G4, and it utilizes this tool. Instead of using the one I downloaded back in May I figured I would re-download in case anything had been changed. But now the zip file I download from the link in the OP contains another zip file, that contains and exe that looks like it wants to install adware/malware of some variety. Stupidly I automatically hit enter when the install box popped up and immediately went to task manager to kill the process.

Is this the expected behavior now? I recall last time that it was just a plain old zip file. Hopefully someone other than the dev didn't change the link/file since a lot of folks will be using this for the G4 root process.

Also, is the version I downloaded in May unchanged? I am assuming I can still use the tools included, but I don't want to brick my G4 if something important has changed.
[Android General] DsturbD:

[Android General] hermeez:
You're not going to see the progress bar moved from 0. You're going to have to keep an eye out on the command prompt window. After you execute the last command wait for the # symbol to come back to that command prompt.

Then go to your apps and see if you have super su installed

Not working for LG G4 H818P Dual SIM International Version. Does anyone knows ant successful method for rooting this phone?
[Android General] funkbuqet:
Thanks. I saw that, but I thought that I had clicked Download Now and the file I ended up with was different. I am probably wrong since I ended up with the malware file.

The crux of my question was whether or not the tools had changed in the last few months since there is no change log (at least that I could find). In any case, I ended up using the version I had from May to root my G4 and it worked perfectly. So if there were any changes, they didn't affect my ability to root.

I think you have to read through the whole set of instructions. Remember, you can't just go to that page and follow the directions there. On the first page, BY IOMONSTER of the first guide it mentions the viral problem and then offers a mirror for the download that is virus free. So to sum up, download from first page of instructions at the bottom of page for your device. then go to 2nd set of instructions, BY UNJUSTIFIED, on a new page and ONLY DO STEPS LISTED BY IOMONSTER in STEP 5 of his page. ( steps 1,2,3,6,7,8,and 9 ). THEN COME BACK TO IOMONSTER'S PAGE AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS STARTING AT STEP 6 AND CONTINUE.
