You can can do the upgrade with the LG PC Suite, even if you have root, then root the phone again. Good luck!

For att Users!!!

Attention Att users, if you want root for 5.1.1 and you have 5.0.1 rooted we need you help with this:

1. Extract parted.rar

2. Copy the extracted file to internal memory

3. with root explorer copy the file from internal memory to "/system/bin/parted" and chmod (set permissions) to 0755.

4. Once you have done that run de following command on adb shell as superuser:

parted dev/block/mmcblk0 unit B print

5. Post your results here.

6. Give me infinite thanksss (hehe just kidding).

Lets see what happen!
[LG G Flex 2] romualdp:
I'm rooted. Thank you for great job. Can you please tell what settings are you using and which app are you using to change all the settings to solve the device lag issue? Also for some reason I don't have LTE working the phone is from Europe I'm now in US with AT&T and cant connect to LTE bands. I followed tutorial on enabling all the bands, but nothing changed.

Thanks
[LG G Flex 2] anywho:
I'm trying to do this on a rooted 5.01 AT&T Flex 2, but I'm getting stuck on setting chmod to 0755. It seems I need to remount system as rw, but the free version of SU doesn't seem to support ADB shell . If anyone has exact commands to try, I can try again.
[LG G Flex 2] anywho:
Ok, I attached my results for 5.01 rooted AT&T device. Is that what you were looking for?
[LG G Flex 2] randrew87:
thats all, thanks!
[LG G Flex 2] randrew87:

[LG G Flex 2] anywho:
Is it possible to go from stock AT&T 5.01 to rooted 5.1.1 using your method?
[LG G Flex 2] randrew87:
intented on ls996 and resulted in security error booting, so ... i dont think. always you can try having stock 5.1.1 system image and flash again following the steps on the OP.
[LG G Flex 2] jinkky:
I fave a problem.

When I type at the prompt: Send_Command.exe \\. \ COM5 tells me: Unable to run the specified program

The phone is properly attached to the door with 5

Any solution? Thanks
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
Sometimes running CMD as administrator solves this issue.

When you hit the ports.bat remember you need the com that shows ¨DIAG¨ not the other ones.
[LG G Flex 2] jinkky:
thanks for reply but if run as administratore, have same error.

I have windows 8.1 64bit
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
Is your device in Download mode?

unplug and replug the device to make sure drivers are correctly installed.

Make sure you are sending the ¨sendcommand¨ from the same folder where you downloaded.

I tried this method even in Win10 x64 and x86 and it works.

So it must be driver related or try another usb port, never use 3.0USb ports for this type of thing.
[LG G Flex 2] jinkky:
The problem is Avira antivirus that block sendcommand.exe :)

now I'm in step 11. What is the command line to enter for the lgh955 v15a?

[LG G Flex 2] dadaa1:
Hey you all skillful people who made this root, what is the next step possible for this flex 2? Bootloader unlock, custom recovery, custom roms, someday maybe or not?

Hi all I have LS996 sprint on 5.0.1 rooted.Can i take the 5.1.1 OTA and then root as per this thread? Or should i unroot or flash the tot and then upgrade to 5.1.1 and then root?Please help i don't want to brick my phone.
[LG G Flex 2] papi92:
What do you need to root the Flex 2 H959
[LG G Flex 2] randrew87:
root for H959 was done the commands for dump and flsh are the same as h955 look at the general section ill include that in the OP.
[LG G Flex 2] randrew87:
you need to stay stock, which it means run the updates sequentially, if you are on zv5 rooted you have to flash the tot and then update to zv6, later zv7 and only then do the procedure explained in the op. after finish you will have a zv7 rooted phone. becarefull of downgrade because it will brick your phone, you are warned!.

Just in case i cant inject root into my system.img is there any chance someone could do a 955 15a euro root? As when I use the international version I loose my mobile data. Many thanks in advance, I can upload system.img if that helps.
[LG G Flex 2] MazdaGTI:
Hello.

Root on D802 G2 was easy and without cmd, now I read and read but don´t understand how to root my H995 v15a international. On 5.0.1 thread I understand all but in this thread don´t understand almost nothing. Proper drivers, commands, what and to where. Where I will find rootedsystem.img? When I download rooted image or after I install phone drivers? Step 11 don´t have 955 at all? My home language not english, so I don´t know slang words. Are proper drivers LG original drivers?

All best!

I would try restoring it with the LG program on a computer. Then try it again, did you use the correct image to flash? As there are two, the zv6 and zv7.

If you need the original system.img I can flash my original unrooted system and make a backup of ZV8 and upload it to Gdrive or dropbox.

[LG G Flex 2] carto-man:
Using the "Full Unroot" option isn't going to work. To root this phone you had to flash a modified system image, so to unroot you will need to flash a stock system image then take the OTA to update. Check out http://xdaforums.com/g-flex2/general/p-restore-recovery-to-stock-tool-h950-t3171550
[LG G Flex 2] chromatica86:

[LG G Flex 2] carto-man:
Have you factory reset since flashing the stock system image?
[LG G Flex 2] randrew87:
Ok, if anyone wants zv8 rooted just upload a full system backup of it, i will inject root for you and upload the rooted system img.

[LG G Flex 2] chromatica86:

Uploading as I type this.

Process was

1. flash my ZV7 backup with commands provided (stock img)

2. check for updates and install ZV8 (took around 5 mins to install)

3. Hard reset my phone so its a fresh img

4. backup img using commands and upload it.

will edit in a few hours I could say my upload speed isnt that fast.

[LG G Flex 2] carto-man:
I attempted to flash ZV5 to return to stock and hard bricked my phone. The LG flash tool confirmed everything was fine, the phone shut off for a reboot and never returned so be careful attempting any return to stock. It may simply be a bad flash or a faulty unit, but who knows. Afterword my phone wouldn't do anything, not even charge. When plugged into my PC it was recognized as "BULK_USB" device. My replacement has arrived and moving forward, I think I'll remain stock until my Nexus 5X arrives.

We cant back to ZV5 once we stay on a later version or the phone will brick, it is a long discused thread so BE CAREFULL guys

hey sorry to clog up the thread with a question. but I used to root my phones but its been a while so trying to get back into it. I have followed the steps twice now and still have not obtained root. idk what I'm doing wrong or if its just not working. I'm a ls996-zv8 made sure I used all the proper files and stuff too. so idk. the only thing I see that might be off is that when I plug my phone back into download mode it says wait for drivers to install but my status bar never moves on the phone just sits a 0% so idk if that has something ive done all the steps after and everything goes right except root

thanks

[MENTION=1004818]Alex_XV6700[/MENTION] I could have a look at injecting root for you when I get some spare time. But as I have the H955 I'm unable to test it, I've successfully rooted the 15c update for my model. Might take a while before I get round to it so hang tight. But I'll need a tester before I release it. Before you all shout me, me, me remember you could end up with a hard brick! Or at least a soft brick in which case you'll need to know how to recover from a soft brick.
