e720 root - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

hey guys, i realize this is for the p500, but does anyone know if the p500 root methods would work for an e720? i know theyre different devices, but were released around the same time, share mostly the same specs. ive done alot of searching but found nothing. its the wifes device and she wants rid of the preloaded carrier crap is all. thanks for any direction you can provide.

Are you talking about the LG Optimus Chic E720? From what I have read it should work considering the app (z4root) is pretty much a universal rooter for android phones. It also depends on the current firmware that you are on as some Optimus One are unable to root due to this. Best bet is to give it a shot and post your results so that others will know.
-Not held responsible if you brick the phone from using any app-

right on thanks for the reply, i was hoping z4 root will work so we will give it a shot. and yes talking about the chic. cheers and i will let everyone know if i can get it rooted

i can confirm temp root with z4root v1.3 does work for the lg optimus chic e720. i will look into the permaroot option and custom roms and report back, doesnt seem to be much of a community with the chic,

e720 rooting, procedure?
Been looking around the threads and sites. Seems the LG Chic can be easily bricked. Can someone post a detailed procedure on Rooting this e720 please?

i can confirm permanent root via z4root 1.0.3 works flawlessly.
as for custom recovery and roms we are still SOL as far as i can find..

Use Super One Click v1.7 if you are v10b or v10c, make sure you have all drivers you needed. v10a can use z4root.
for the 2.2.1, i think gingerbreak work on 2.2.1, i am not sure though because i haven't test it yet.

10d is 2.2.1 and gingerbreak can root it.

It can indeed! Hurray! At last!!!

Hi all, I am new with Android and this forum as well.
I checked with so many threads but don't know why the E720 Chic is being ignored.
Ok, back to the situation. I wanna root my Chic.
My PC run XP SP3. and as being told, I download the .Net Frame 4.0 and installed.
I got the SuperOneClick 1.9.1 and installed.
I got android-SDK installed.
My phone is running 2.2.1 firmware with the LG official ROM ver. 10e
I tried to root with SuperOneClick 1.9.1 but failed. The SOC application screen just freezed after showing : waiting device. And SuperOneClick was hang.
Did anybody get the Chic rooted successfully?

Confirmed LG Chic e720b rooted successfully right now, using installed GingerBreak-v1.20.apk
Thanks guys!!!

Thank you!! Took for ever to figure it out on my LG E720b with v10c! Nothing seemed to work. I was using the latest Superoneclick and it wasn't working but the 1.7 with the rageagainstthecage exploit worked perfectly. Thanks again!

Mine is running 2.2 v10c. How does one get 2.2.1 on this phone and up to revision v10e?
I tried the LG updater, but it tells me I am up to date.

*BUMP* Anyone know how to get it up dated by another means than the LG updater?

There's a Super One Click root that works. You just have to be persistent with it. It will fail a few times, but if you keep at it, it will eventually succeed. So far, noone seems to know what the pattern is, it just works.
Has anyone verified the method? I have been trying for a while and it still doesnt work....hope others have better luck

Extract the rar-file and click "TPSparkyRoot.bat".
After that just follow the instructions on Screen.

Thanks for the quick response, I did look at that thread however I am hesitant to do the unbrick method. Is there any manual method/other way I can do it?

nope. You have to flash a new KDZ file alltogether because the Telus one is unrootable.
Once you get your head around the 'unbricking method', there is really nothing to it.
or you can wait till Telus releases the next update, and hope that it is rootable.
Sorry to be a hassle but could you give me a noob type rundown on how to do this

superoneclick 2.3.2? you got a backup? please upload

Where is 2.3.2? I m having trouble rooting with 2.3.3
some people said it has to do with security issue?
Anyone has a back up of 2.3.2 so I can try?
On the 2.3.3 I'm stuck on step 7...
I can look on my laptop when I get back to it tonight. It might be 2.3.2.
If you can't get superoneclick to work at all try DoomLord. I got impatient and rooted with DoomLord. It worked on the first try.

so instead of typing that into google or bing, finding several 2.3.2 sites to choose to download it from, doing that and getting on, you choose to start a thread and expect someone to upload a copy and you'll just wait for them to take care of it for you.

Well what version is your phones software? If its v10J I've read its unrootable and so I used the ubricking guide sticky at the top to downgrade my phone to the Korean rom and get root and ADB'd back to stock ATT 2.3.5. But to answer your question you can get Superoneclick 2.3.2 from - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597488 the nitro unbrick guide sticky its in post #1 try mirror 2 it worked for me.
dude? I actually searched several different websites. The official download from the website leads to some random weird website. Found one on 4shared but the link isn't working, another one on 4shared and it's dead. I also went to a website under a user signature which lead to a german forum, link also dead...

You don't need it. In other words its not needed to root. Besides it only worked on ATT's v10f Gingerbread dated Nov 2011. Any newer version, doesn't work.

Okay, if you have the knowledge to know which rom you want on your phone, you should know how to use the search button my friend. I don't want to sound mean, but I'm very tired of babysitting people when this topic is all over the forums and can easily be found within 30 seconds of doing a Google search. You need to learn that the community loves to help people, but only if they can help themselves. And you should read the forum rules and never post anything in the Orginal Android Development sub-thread of the G3 forum because that is for actual development only, not questions, and not to be harsh, but you wont ever have anything to add to that. Also, since you apparently can't even do a simple search, I'll go ahead and warn you to be careful about what roms you flash and only flash ones specifically for the D855. I also ask that you read EVERYTHING on the OP's page before even downloading the rom. That being said, to start getting your phone ready to flash, you need to first root your phone with StumpRoot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
After you have carefully following all of these instructions and you have properly working superuser access with SuperSU installed on your device, then you can proceed to installing a Bump'd version of TWRP for your phone. Once again, make sure you download the correct file for you variant and follow this guide verbatim:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...mp-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-d852-d852g-f400-t2900614
Once that is done, you should download whatever rom it is you want to flash, IF AND ONLY IF IT IS FOR THE D855. I cannot stress enough how important it is that you don't flash a rom for a different variant. Follow all directions on the OP's page and you should be good to go.
Good luck on all this but next time, please learn to search before you start a new thread. This topic is literally all over the forums and is so easy to Google and find out for yourself in no time. If people would just read they could figure out a lot more without having to let others do the thinking for them.

Rooting is seriously either one button after installing an APK or connecting your phone to your computer and pressing ENTER 3 times.

Hello, I was looking through the Android Development section and sadly both the available ROM's were only for the 7 inch version of this tablet, I was wondering if you have planned any development for the 10.1 inch version, I would love to see a CM or custom ROM of Lollipop for this tablet.

Hmm, tried this one on LG GPad 8.3 KK 4.4.2, didn't work sadly, it may be that I only have a VM of Windows and there's an issue with mapping COMx to ttyx in VirtualBox that I'm not at all sure how to overcome. Adb finds the device, so it's at least communicating, but when it's time to run the exploit it just stops on the download screen. If anyone knows a good way to figure out which port is "diag" on a linux box (it's easy to *map* it, just difficult to know *what* to map) please do share. I've been searching high and low for a few days, and have learned a lot, just not what I need lol. I'd rather not do a hard install of Windows if I can avoid it, but I'm fresh out of ideas. I was thinking it might be that the software updated to VK70011A from VK700, but judging from the post above this one, that's unlikely(hence the edit). Not giving up just yet, but *any* input would be greatly appreciated.

...ammend that, trashed my partition table trying to move LVs around to do a Windows install, so backed up, and just scrapped the whole thing and started over with a dual boot from scratch. NOW it's rooted right and proper, yay, I can actually use the sd card I dropped $100 on, thanks for the link, worked like a dream.
I rooted with 5.0.2 and DP-Tools. My virus scanner alarmed me, but I guess/hope it is not a real virus.
I do not have LTE, but the DP-Tools is for LG-Devices in general.
Only missing thing is xposed framwork (doesn't run in lollipop)...i would love to remove softkeys in chrome while browsing.
I have yet to get this to work on my VZW 10.1. It hangs during the download screen portion. Any thoughts would be helpful.

The single-click root worked on my US Cellular UK410. Thanks!
Interesting. I have a 4G VK700 I just got and Kingroot works fine. There is no reason to swith superuser apps because kingroot provides plenty of features and there's nothing I have been unable to do. I put in T-Mobile APN settings and my 4g signal was on and conected after reboot. I will post my sofware version and kingroot version. I don't know why you would install an update unless it is needed to run something you have been unable to run.
Just FYI most updates these days simply lock you out from or make root more difficult to get. and they often cause hardware issues regardless of wether it is rooted or not.
