Hey hey, mind ****ing telling us or me wtf v11x and v11z is? I jumped all over the place and couldn't find it, and I'm not gonna randomly try to root my phone if I don't know which god damn variant to use.
[LG G Flex 2] bbf:
Hey, if you ****ing looked at the "Software Info" page of your phone's "About phone" setup menus, you'd notice that there is a Software version field. Mine says "H95011z". If you'd stop swearing for a god d*mn minute, and used your brain for a sec, you might have noticed that those letters pretty match one of the 'V'arients listed.

You'd probably get a better response rate if you didn't swear at the people giving you a free way to root your ****ing phone. ;)

Want to factory reset my rooted phone

Hey guys,

I have the LG G Flex 2 (h950 att) on 5.1.1 (V11x). The problem is that.. I erased the storage folder on internal memory while connected to the computer, so that erased all my media data like photos, music, videos, etc. All my apps are ok.

Now, I want to factory reset it but i have a doubt.

The problem is that I rooted my phone as said in this post. And it rooted well, but now I don't know if I factory reset it from android options, could it brick or somethig? I really need to know, I don't know if the way it was rooted could be a problem.

Thanks!
[LG G Flex 2] ergo911:
Hi, the safer way is just flash v11x again. It will wipe all and you'll lose root. If you do factory reset it should leave system partition intact so root is still present but supersu needs to be reisntalled. But I haven't tested that by myself!!!
[LG G Flex 2] carlox97:
Alright but, what is the safer way to flash it? because i searched a lot and there's no kdz neither tot file for the v11x, I was only able to find the TOT for the v11z file. If I flash from 11x to 11z is ok? will it brick?

And, how do I flash it?

Thanks

Finally doing this... how long does "Working...." take?

About 1:15 so far. Will let it go overnight, but it's gotta go to work tomorrow.

From what I can tell, the script doesn't do anything potentially harmful until it outputs more text

Edit: Tried again and I got root. Not quite sure how / why.

I ran the tool and it functioned better. Got the ## and it told me to unplug phone. Phone was stuck at 0%. Plugged it back in and pressed a key like told and nothing. Still at 0%. Sat like that for a long time. Couldn't turn phone off. Still 0% for 30 mins. Took apart phone to unplug battery. Plugged it back in and phone started up. And, I have root.

I had same issue with oneplus one and after go i ng through tons of different phone custization threads leading to demise and no help I had to tell media the examples they could start with.

Buenas ay alguna forma de acerlo en la version de android 6
[LG G Flex 2] Android-Jack:
I executed Root IT!!! batch file and successfully installed the image and SU over two years ago. The phone now reboots itself. After 20-50 reboots, the phone may display a message that "... 15 of 165 apps are optimizing.... this will take awhile...". This error message is very random, as is the number of apps being optimized. Again, it reboots many times and the error message eventually comes up again. Their were no changes to phone or apps installed for several weeks/months.

After 10-20 minutes of this reboot non-sense, the phone "may" actually boot up and work for awhile. Then it reboots itself again and starts the process over.

I would like to reload the rootedsystem image again in hopes that the software is corrupt and the hardware is fine.

Should I run the ROOT IT!! batch file again? Or? Will I lose all data and apps and have to reload SU?

My guess is yes, but want to be prepared for any surprises.

Hi, tried a different PC and the unraring worked but when I am trying to use the tool, it is stuck at "Rebooting into Download" mode for the past half an hour. The device is getting identified though.

Have the LG drivers and USB debugging is active. Here are the steps I followed:

1. Unrared and pasted the .img file in the root of phone.

2. Downloaded the Easy Root tool on the PC and ran it on the PC.

3. Clicked "Root it" batch file in the Easy Root Folder

4. Phone found at COM4! Rebooting into Download mode. Stuck here.

Tried twice though, restarting both the PC and the device

Root is working with titanium backup, but cores 4+7 are staying disabled now and benchmarks seem to be running off of the A53s only.

Edit: Happened again.

http://i.imgur.com/ssuJUu2.jpg

I'm going to take a guess & say the big cluster is being disabled due to the temp while plugged in with a quick charger. This must be confusing kernel apps, maybe.

After rebooting without the charger it works...

what did you do exactly? how long the tool takes to get the ##?

I copied the file into the phone then ran the program. It would reboot the phone and put it in download mode. I would wait until the ## appear, then unplug the cable, plug it back in, and then the phone would restart...The program would say that phone is now rooted but it actually isn't.
