if you are on 11A and want to root it

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-g4/help/lg-g4-vs985-root-video-walk-threw-t3166078

ok i got internet YAY!!!!! but sadly its comcast :(

ok i made some videos for those who have hard time understanding directions (i have that issue to but i do my homework till i understand them)

on my video part 2 my LGG3 died at the last sec. when i got root so i took a pic of my g4 to show its rooted so i hope thats ok and the root i fallowed worked

so lets get started but as always i am not responsible if your phone flys to china, destroys LG company (i know lg is not in china) and hurts one of those KDZ workshop fairy's

i am also not responsible if anything bad happens to your phone

before we begin, i am not a dev. and do not take credit for the work i am just a helper who is nice to do this on my time off

please note- i have not had any errors with my phone doing this so please dont ask how to recover your phone, only way i know is the 13b KDZ but if you follow the instructions you should be fine

to let you know i have made some mistakes in the video so feel free to laugh cause i had a few brain farts lol

by the way please thank the devs for there hard work

please fallow the steps
