Nice, we focus on one LG phone and seem to have rooted almost all of them! Very nice!
[Android General] pikachukaki:
This is only for root or it can unlock the G3(D855)bootloader??
[Android General] high247:
I always just type adb. Works perfect.
[Android General] skeevydude:
Same question, only for the D850.

Getting one of these within the next week or two and if the bootloader can be unlocked, that's a big plus. Can't beat 99 cents from Amazon or a dollar from Best Buy with the contract upgrade.....now I just can't decide between Black for 99 cents or Blue for a dollar. :silly:
[Android General] zurny:
Confirmed working on Videotron's D852G Stock Lollipop D852G20a, thanks a lot!
[Android General] br0adband:
Working root for the Tribute too, outstanding. Might just have to go get another one of those as a spare - damned things have 7+ hours of SOT without breaking a sweat so they're handy to have around just in case.

Might give this method a go later on when my replacement display assembly arrives today (finally) and I get this busted G3 back to full operating condition...

Works on stock ZV8 for LS990

Thanks!
[Android General] ckiddo74:
no twrp!

I can confirm that I managed to root and get fastboot on my LG G3 20H D855 (stock). Everything works as expected.

However, I tried to flash TWRP (bump'ed and non-bumped), but whenever I reboot to recovery I get a security boot verify error (I have to remove the battery to restart). Stupidly, I didn't backup the recovery partition.

What are my options here to get TWRP or even the stock recovery functionality? I can boot normally, have access to adb and fastboot, and I can have root access...
[Android General] mrhaley30705:
Has anyone checked the qfuse to see if it was tripped by this method?
[Android General] 6ril1:
Bumps (kernel and recovery) needs KK bootloader (aboot partition and maybe others little partitions that constitute bootstack in KK version :aboot,tz,sbl1,rpm,persist,laf,dbi) for booting. And if you downgrade bootstack you have to bump kernel too for being able to boot firmware from KK bootsack.

You can extract LP recovery(with kdz extractor tool) and reinject it for returning to LP rooted , as you were before trying to inject bumped TWRP, or you can try to downgrade bootstack and bump kernel for being able to use custom recovery on the stock LP.
[Android General] zurny:
I had the same results, I ended up reflashing the stock KDZ file and then re-rooted and reflashed TWRP.
[Android General] cpshelley2:
easiest way to do this is just have someone else on the forum dump their recovery partition using dd in adb shell, zip it and upload it to the forums for you. then you can start an adb shell, use su to get superuser prompt, and write the recovery back to your device using dd.
[Android General] supremoITA:
works on v20E for lg g3?
[Android General] ckiddo74:
Many thanks 6ril1, zurny and cpshelley2 for your replies.

Zurny, did you use the same root method as explained in this thread? If so, why would reflashing the stock KDZ file make any difference?
[Android General] zurny:
I reflashed stock so I could have a working TWRP to restore my backup ROM.

And yes, I have tried several times as someone says somewhere in this thread...

No success.

Also I have read the .sh file and tried to run manually the commands and also it didn't even remount the filesystems with rw permissions.

I hope it's not Windows 10, but my phone won't show up as DIAG or LG or whatever in Send_Command.. I can't flash KDZs or TOTs either.
[Android General] DRG77:
Please help. I just bought this phone (second G2, the first one was easy to root) and I can't root this one.. nor can I flash KDZs or TOTs. Seems like firmware update is broken/patched? I don't understand.

I don't know why I don't get an LG / DIAG device in Ports.bat, the phone shows up as \Device\USBSER000 REG_SZ COM4 (I've tried changing port).

Check my screenshots. I have the LG united driver and LG VZW united driver installed.
[Android General] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Should work with Windows 10 since I've been beta testing it....and what firmeware did it come with? Plus LG is supposedly gonna send monthly secerity updates via OTA...

Edit: you do have your device in download mode right? And if you do, did you restart your PC after you installed the drivers?
[Android General] DRG77:
I think it came with KK, but I updated to 39A because last time I was on stock with my old G2, I was able to root 39A. The fact that download mode doesn't seem to work on a refurbished (warranty replaced) phone, really makes me think it's my OS, but I tried 2 other computers. I'm completely lost now.
[Android General] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
That must be it....
[Android General] DRG77:
Guess back to Windows 7.. I just don't see why there'd be a problem detecting it as the proper device in COM. This stuff used to work back when I was on 8.1. :/
[Android General] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
I meant the refurbished part...and I'm currently able to do it on the official Windows 10....so idk :/
[Android General] DRG77:
Well fml. I'm getting another phone in December, but 4 months without root is scary. I can send this one back within 7 days. I know the logical choice but dammit I want my phone! Just with root.. ;_; that feel.
[Android General] jdgesmlls:
Based on your Device Manager screen shot, you don't have the proper drivers installed. Hence the "!" icon in front of LGE Android Device and MTP device. I would verify the drivers and re-install.
[Android General] DRG77:
Would you mind pointing me in the direction where I can find the proper drivers? I've tried multiple. Would be greatly appreciated.

---------- Post added at 08:03 ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 ----------

Also, it shows up normally as VS980 4G in Device Manager when booted into System, however in those screenshot(s) I was booted into Firmware Update / Download Mode. Should they still not have the yellow [!]?
[Android General] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Your actual device in download mode would show up in the usb devices section if anything....the other two are just eye candy when it comes to working with send_command...make sure all other usb devices are disconected so the only one showing up is your phone but it will also be a generic usb so it's up to you to manually change it to one from LG...if this doesn't make sense just ask and I'll send pictures in a bit
[Android General] player911:
I found the manual may was easier because it takes multiple tries before it taking. It seems I have 15 minutes of failed attempts and leave it plugged in, leave then return, give it a few more tries and it works. Try pushing the files and running the script once, leave it alone, then try the script again.
[Android General] Mystikalrush:
I followed the steps to the T and i had an issue once i got into the send commands prompt. I got my com port and all, but once i tried to launch the send command file my virus scanner stopped it. I went back and told it to always ignore the issue, and even turned off my virus protection. Yet, now every time i try to open the send command prompt it opens and instantly closes. So im at a stopping point where the files simply wont run properly anymore. Most likely my virus (Avira) has permanently blocked it, even though i have told it not too. :crying:
[Android General] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
you're supposed to open Send_Command in the command window with the command "Send_Command Com port 4" <----or something similar look at the OP you're not supposed to just open it like a regular .exe file
[Android General] Mystikalrush:
Wow, total brain fart there lol! Thanks for the info, im rooted now. One thing.. i kinda forgot to do step 10 on this site, because the other website with directions says to type LEAVE and phone reboots, so do i need to go back and run the root script?
[Android General] DRG77:
If you wouldn't mind, screenshots would help a ton. I'm lost now.
[Android General] DRG77:
Finally Got DIAG

Well I got the correct drivers I think. But the "sh /data/local/tmp/lg_root.sh dummy 1 /data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp/busybox" after send_command freezes. I'll keep trying.

EDIT: Got it rooted!! So happy! Thanks for pointing out that my drivers were bad! :D
[Android General] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
hip hip hooray lol well good job on getting rooted now i just need a method for my Boost LG G Stylo lol
[Android General] storm91:
I got something like this after executing the commands, but it isn't the same as the OP post step#10.

Any idea? After I type LEAVE, it boots back to the system, nothing much has changed.

Nothing happens when running the sh

I did every step correctly, but when I try to execute the last part and run the sh, nothing happens, it just jumps to another line in the command prompt and none of the prints from the sh file occur, and obviously the phone is not rooted, I tried with both ports it printed when I ran the ports.bat file, but it didn't make a difference.

is step 6 incomplete??

When the device is powered off, all I do is press volume UP and plug the cable? Doesn't work.

I get into Download Mode only when I press Volume (up and down) + power button.

Picture on Step 7 is completely different from my REAL Download Mode. I kept going and it stalls at Step 10.

I guess i have to go to the One Click root.

Now with the One Click Root, I'm stuck at 90%

With a fairly simple but multi-step process this device can be rooted with Kingroot. Twrp can then be flashed Via Rom Toolbox. You can also replace the kinguser superuser management with SuperSu via terminal once rooted. Im running stock V4 at the moment, rooted with Twrp installed and everything appears to be nice and proper. I will post a guide soon.

I think you can add a warning that The LG Tribute 2 from boost mobile LS665 will be bricked (and most likely no kdz or tot for it...)

I bricked one and iv'e seen other users report that it got bricked.
[Android General] Unjustified Dev:
At the time of this method there was no tribute 2 and this method is now discontinued there is a new method preferred that has been posted.
[Android General] PalmCentro:
It was done with the one click by [MENTION=2200907]avicohh[/MENTION], isn't it this method just bundled up?
[Android General] Unjustified Dev:
Yes, I've added a note to supported devices. Honestly it was hard to keep up with them all so I added that devices running 5.1 will not work with this method or one click. I will not be linking the new method. Users may find the link and test at their own risk. I have a neighbor who picked up the boost Leon/Tribute 2 so I will let you know if anything turns up. So far the new method does work :)

problems with step 10

Hi there,

I have tried the one-click option and it did not work. I am trying this but I got stuck at step 10.

When I try to type (or copy/paste) the sh /data... etc I got a message back saying that "sh is not recognized as an internal or external command, program" (I am translating from Spanish, sorry if this is not exactly the message in English)

I have tried looking for an answer before replying, but I have not been able to find it, and I am not really sure how to do this.

Hi there,

As I said in a previous message, I have tried the 1-click methods (both the exe file and the previous version with the .bat file) without success.

I thend tried the original steps... but I am still not able to root the phone (LG G3 int version).

After I get the # symbol in step 9 I paste (right after the # symbol) the text on step 10: #sh /data/local/...

I click enter... but absolutely nothing happens. I have checked videos where the delay is ~5seconds... but I have waited for more than 10 minutes and nothings happened. Help?

Unbrick Boost Mobile LG LS665 Tribute 2 softbricked by first LG root method

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I managed to un soft-brick my LG ls665 Tribute 2 by using [MENTION=5104057]6th_Hokage[/MENTION]'s new root method. With the Tribute 2, I got stuck at the LG logo each time I tried to boot after using this method to try and root:

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772

As I said, after trying this method on the 5.1.1 firmware on the Tribute 2, it caused phone to only boot to LG logo. It could also still boot to stock recovery and download mode so I figured (hoped is more like it tbh lol) that all was not lost. After reading about 6th_hokage's new method that uses the Push_command, I figured since Boost and Lg wouldn't help me, it was worth a shot and couldn't hurt much. That being said, I used this method to unbrick as well as root:

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/guide-how-to-root-lgls770-5-1-1-t3184649

Now I see that there is a post at top of this thread that says it works to unbrick the G Stylo that people tried using the 5.0.2 root method on since it also soft bricks them too, looks like it works on our Tribute 2 as well!

By the way, thanks a TON [MENTION=5104057]6th_Hokage[/MENTION]!!! Couldn't have done it without your knowledge! ;)
[Android General] player911:
This method takes luck. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. I recommend trying the first time, walk away, try, walk away, and repeat until it works.

It seems to be a timing thing. We are pushing files over a "serial" connection. I think it just takes time to actually transfer the files and script. Knowing this, I flashed my LG G2 on my second attempt after about 20min. Just run it once to get the ball rolling and come back to actually run it.

[Android General] DoubleDeuce22:
did a quick search but can't seem to find anyone that made a mistake the same as I did.

in step 6 when it tells you to boot into download mode i accidentally rebooted the phone. It did an "android is updating" thing when it booted. I then went back to download mode but the drivers did not install. Pushing the drivers again fro step 5 did not seem to help.

Any ideas? do I need to KDZ again and start over?
[Android General] DoubleDeuce22:
Is this making sense to anyone? I figured I would do a factory reset since I was still on the stock recovery and just start from the top again. Before doing any of the steps in the OP I booted into recovery mode and noticed that the Download mode still showed "Modified" so the factory reset must not have reverted the stuff done by the ADB command.

Everything seemed to have worked with the exception of seeing anything happen in download mode (it always just showed 0%) If I keep moving forward noting happens when I send the command over my com port.
