You Noob!
Lol. Just kidding, Yeah i think this title is much better! I've been Rooting Android Devices since the g1 came out so im familiar to all this.
Im still waiting for my HTC Hero to arrive, it should be here any second. Once my dog starts barking, it will probably mean fedex guy is here.

[GUIDE][30/06/2011]Root AND Downgrade Desire Z/G2(S-OFF/ClockWorkMod) -No Gingerbread

This guide is now obsolete. Please use this guide instead.
For Gingerbread Phones, Please use this guide.
Hey guys, this is probably the easiest guide to follow for rooting a branded desire Z. The reason why this can sometimes be hard is cause it uses a unique identifier (INFOCID) and the companies that brand the phones ONLY want roms from their company on them. This stops us from using a WWE rom like every else to downgrade and then root.
But ultimately, the reason I'm making this is because every other guide I've read constantly links you to other guides or other pages and it sorta annoyed me. So after I figured it all out I posted one concise guide that doesn't redirect you 50 times.
Now I’m gonna run you through EVERYTHING so you won’t get stuck anywhere.
This guide will work with:
Device: Desire Z or G2
Firmware Version: Any Firmware version will be fine (All you need to do is downgrade using step 1)
Android Version: Froyo or any previous variation of Android (Absolutely no gingerbread device will root with this method)
Btw, I take no responsibility for any damage taken by using these procedures. Sorry =P
Also if you don't have ADB and Fastboot set up then go ahead and follow the guides on the first two posts here. -Thanks nephron

If your INFOCID is NOT one of these you need to make a goldcard to downgrade!

HTC__E11
HTC__203
HTC__Y13
HTC__102
HTC__405
HTC__304
HTC__A07
HTC__N34
HTC__J15
Which can be checked by typing the following two commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem boot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If your CID matches one of the CID's above then you can skip Step 1.
1. Creating a Goldcard:
Prerequisites:
ADB Set up and running fine (to check if it is working just connect your phone and have USB debugging enabled. Then type adb devices in your CMD Prompt)
HxD Hex Editor (see attachments of post 1)
USB Debugging enabled on your phone
1.Firstly we need to mount the memory card on a windows PC.
2. Format the memory card as FAT32 using all the default options.
3. Mount the memory card on your Phone. Then give it a couple of seconds.
4. Remount the memory card on your PC.
5. Find your CID by using the follow command in your cmd prompt (YOU NEED ADB)
Code:
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid
6. Use the excel sheet provided to reverse the CID (see Attachments)
7. Goto this website and send yourself a goldcard.img
http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard
8. Run HxD hex editor AS AN ADMINISTRATOR! (I can’t stress how important having admin rights is)
9. Go to Extras > Open Disk Image. Then select your goldcard.img
10. Go to Extras > Open Disk. IMPORTANT: Select your memory card UNDER the Physical Drives category. DO NOT open the logical drive.
11. Switch to your goldcard.img tab. Go to Edit > Select All. Then Edit > Copy.
12. Go to the physical drive tab and select the lines 00000000 until you get to the one with 00000170.
13. Go To Edit > Paste Write.
14. You should have a huge block of red characters now. This is good btw.
15. Mount your SD card on your Phone and let it detect it. If it comes up with a corrupt SD card error you have done it wrong and you may have to start over.
16. You are done with the goldcard.
2. Downgrading and Debranding
Before you start this please do the following:
1a. Download the RUU I’ve linked (it should be a ~300mb exe file) -Thanks g4rb4g3
ii. If you are a BELL User. Please download this RUU instead.
1b. Run the setup until you get to the screen with the tick boxes (Some Users may have to run this as an Administrator)
1c. Leave the setup running and go to C:\Users\<your account name>\AppData\local\temp ( Or Try %AppData%\Local\Temp\ ). Then right click and Sort By Date Modified. Look for the most recently created folder which should look like {xxxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxxx}. Then navigate into it and its then into its one folder. Look for rom.zip and copy that to your goldcard/memory card.
1d. Rename the rom.zip on your memory card to PC10IMG.zip (Make sure it is exactly the same as the way I've typed it there)
1e. Mount your sd card back onto your phone.
2. Download the attachments (misc_version & psneuters) and extract them in a folder like C:\RootVision\
Now you are ready to begin:
1. Open a CMD prompt window
2. Navigate your way to the folder with psneuter & misc_version IN CMD PROMPT. (So the cmd prompt window should be something like this C:\RootVision> )
3. Now we will use the following 5 commands one after the other
Code:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
4. After the last command you should have a # and a flashing line for you to enter text. This is good. (If you get a $ you have done it wrong and should try typing the commands out again)
5. Now you have the # type the following command in: (This will spoof the radio version)
Code:
/data/local/tmp/misc_version –s 1.33.405.5
Then go ahead and type:
Code:
exit
6. Type this command into your cmd prompt (btw you should be back with the normal C:\RootVision>)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
7. Once on your white screen with colourful text you can go ahead and press the power button ONCE
8. Now just wait for the rom to install and verify. If you get INCORRECT CID your gold card doesn’t work or your CID doesn't match and you'll need a goldcard. (Go to Step 1. and make a goldcard for your phone)
9. Go ahead and install the rom when it asks you.
10. You are done downgrading and can now begin the Rooting process.
See Post 2 For Rooting

Assuming all as gone well and you now have a rom without superuser but you have a baseband version that is 1.34xxxx.
Alright, let’s begin.
Prerequisites:
Download psneuter
Download gfree 0.5
Download root_psn
Download flash_image
Download the Desire Z hboot
Download Clockwork Recovery
ALL of these are in the attachments section
They all should be extracted into the same folder. Use something simple like C:\RootVision\Root
3. Root your Desire Z!
Before you start:
Enable USB Debugging and Allow Unknown Market Installations again.
Also delete the PC10IMG.zip on your phone if you downgraded.
Okay lets go:
1. Now Assuming you succeeded at the last part you should have a stock-ish rom without superuser. What we want to do is start by pushing all the files across with the following adb commands (use in cmd prompt the same way you pushed files in 2.)
Code:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/
adb push gfree /data/local/tmp/
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
adb push root_psn /data/local/tmp/
adb push flash_image /data/local/tmp/
adb push su /sdcard/
adb push hboot-eng.img /data/local/tmp/
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*
2. Alright now we have all the files we need to root the phone. Input the following command. This is just putting our clockwork recovery in a convenient place with an easy name.
Code:
adb push recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-vision.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
3. Now we’re gonna temp root again by typing in the following:
Code:
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
4. This should leave us with another #. Now enter the following commands:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
./gfree -f -b hboot-eng.img
./flash_image recovery recovery.img
./root_psn
sync
5. Type in: (thanks for the correction john_d1974)
Code:
reboot
6. You should have a rooted phone with superuser after the reboot. Also it will have clockworkmod, SuperCID, secu-flag off & an Unlocked HBOOT-ENG.
If gfree 0.5 doesnt work for you then this section is for you:
Prerequisites:
Download psneuter
Download gfree 0.2
Download root_psn
Download flash_image
Download the Desire Z hboot
Download Clockwork Recovery
ALL of these are in the attachments section
They all should be extracted into the same folder. Use something simple like C:\RootVision\Root
1. Now Assuming you succeeded at the last part you should have a stock-ish rom without superuser. What we want to do is start by pushing all the files across with the following adb commands (use in cmd prompt the same way you pushed files in 2.)
Code:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/
adb push gfree /data/local/tmp/
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
adb push root_psn /data/local/tmp/
adb push flash_image /data/local/tmp/
adb push su /sdcard/
adb push hboot-eng.img /data/local/tmp/
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*
2. Alright now we have all the files we need to root the phone. Input the following command. This is just putting our clockwork recovery in a convenient place with an easy name.
Code:
adb push recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-vision.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
3. Now we’re gonna temp root again by typing in the following:
Code:
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
4. This should leave us with another #. Now enter the following commands:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
./gfree -f
./flash_image recovery recovery.img
./root_psn
sync
5. Type in: (thanks for the correction john_d1974)
Code:
reboot
6. You should have a rooted phone with superuser after the reboot. Also it will have clockworkmod, SuperCID and secu-flag off.
4. Installing your own custom ROM
This section is just in case you don't know how to install a custom ROM.
Note: Always make sure the ROM you are installing is FOR YOUR PHONE! If you install a ROM meant for another phone you could potentially damage it or brick the phone itself.
1. Download the ROM you want and copy it to your SD Card. (Try to keep it in a folder that is easy to get to)
2. Turn off your phone.
3. Hold down the volume down button and then press the Power Button. This should take you to a white screen with lots of colourful text. One of which says FASTBOOT or FASTBOOT_USB.
4. Press the power button ONCE when BOOTLOADER is selected(BLUE)
5. Navigate using the volume buttons until you get to RECOVERY and then press the Power Button again.
6. The HTC Logo will come up then you will get a black screen with text.
7. From here you should Always do a NANDROID Backup so you can restore a working ROM if something fails.
NANDROID Backup
7a. Navigate to 'backup and restore' and then select it by pressing the trackpad button.
7b. Select 'Backup' and then let it finish. Once done you have a backup of your android.
8. Now you want to do these before you start installing:
a. 'wipe data/factory reset
b. 'wipe cache partition'
c. Go into 'advanced' and select 'Wipe Dalvik Cache'
9. Now you can install the ROM itself. This is done by selecting 'install zip from sdcard' in the main menu. Now you can select 'choose zip from sdcard' and just go ahead and select the ROM you copid to your sd card earlier.
9a. If the phone says verification failed then just toggle the signature verification option.
FAQ - For Anyone with any issues.
1. My version is 1.7xxxx or higher. Can I use this method?
Yes you can. This method will downgrade your phone to 1.34 so your radio is no longer locked thereby allowing you remove the secu-flag, add superCID and allow you to install a custom recovery (like ClockWorkMod)
2. My CID is XXXXXXXX and isn't on that list, will this method still work?
Yes it will. The reason why it will work is because a goldcard is essentially a manufacturers way of bypassing the CID checks used by ROMs. Therefore, by creating our own unique goldcards we can also bypass the CID check.
3. My CID is on the list that you mentioned. Do I need this goldcard?
No, you can skip the 1st step because when the ROM checks your phones CID it will match up perfectly and the phone will install the older radio without issue.
4. What Benefits does rooting a phone grant you?
Simply, it allows you to install any ROM of your choosing onto the phone as well as use custom kernels and certain applications that access locked functions on the phone. This can ultimately lead to; a longer battery life; more stable roms and more frequently updated roms; and finally an overall faster Android experience.
5. What is root access?
Root access essentially gives you access anything locked by the manufacturer on the phone. This most importantly means that you can read and write to any system partitions on the phone that would normally be locked.
6. Whats psneuter?
psneuter is an application used to grant temporary root access. This is done through an exploit in the android system and will give us a window to further exploit the system and ultimately grant us Permanent Root Access.
7. How do I find my CID?
To find your CID you run two commands. Firstly, in your CMD prompt you type 'adb reboot bootloader' when your phone is connected and USB debugging is active. This will restart your phone into its bootloader. Then once you see the words FASTBOOT_USB you type 'fastboot oem boot'. Then look for the words CID and then just read the 8 character CID.
Also there is a post with a screenshot here.
8. My phone will not find PC10IMG.zip
You will need to double check that the PC10IMG.zip is the correct ZIP file from the RUU that has been linked. It should be roughly 250mb in size and should be placed in the root folder of your SD Card. Also your SD Card must be compatible with your device (able to be read/written to). If you cannot access your SD Card from your Desire Z or G2 then there is probably something wrong with your SD Card. It should probably be reformatted.
9. Can I use this on the Desire Z/G2 running Gingerbread?
So far no one has been able to root the gingerbread version of android on the Desire Z/G2. Unfortunately, this guide still cannot root gingerbread desire Zs or G2s.
If there are any more, feel free to post them and I'll add them
10.I'm Missing my AdbWinApi.dll? What now?
espentan[U said:
][/U]
I don't know if you've figured this one out yet, but here's the solution to a potential cause.
You need to add the directory containing the "AdbWinApi.dll" to Windows' path under Environment Variables, so Windows know where to look for the necessary files when you enter commands in the shell.
For this exercise I'm going to assume that you have installed the Android SDK in the directory called "android-sdk-windows" on your C: hard drive. If you have it installed somewhere else, change the path I'm mentioning below accordingly.
Go to the Windows "Control Panel".
Click on "System and Security".
Click on "System".
Click on "Advanced system settings" in the left column of the window you're in.
Find the button called "Environment Variables" in the window that opens (it's at the bottom on the first tab).
Scroll down in the "System variables" box until you find "Path".
Select "Path" and click the "Edit" button.
At the very beginning of the input field called "Variable value" enter the following:
"C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools;" (without the quotes).
Do not remove any of the other paths, and make sure you have a semi colon at the end of the new path you're adding.
Reboot.
Now the windows command shell knows where to find the necessary DLL's and whatnot.

will this work if i have 1.84.666.2?

anyone? thought?

Should work fine as long as you've got a Desire Z or G2 lol.

hi, manageage to root the DZ sucessfully, however on step 5 you say
"5. Type in:
Code:
Reboot"
i got an Reboot: error not found
i retried with with "reboot" and was sucessful

Hi, im sure this has been covered before in other posts, but, could someone tell me, if i were to use the above method to downgrade and root etc, would this prevent me from doing an official upgrade, to, say gingerbread in the near future? Also is there any real benefits to going to gingerbread? I ask as im sure ive read somewhere its only possible to flash to cooked roms, not official ones (once downgraded and rooted etc).. this would concern me as ive moved over from win mo to android, and in my experiance, EVERY cooked unoficial rom i ever flashed (xperia x1) was simply rubbish, and i tried alot of them. (Even though people would say the roms would be fine, bugs smoothed out etc), i went back to stock in the end after constant dissapointment.
Sorry for the rant, just need to know where i stand.. thanks people..

It is pretty difficult to go back to stock updates from your carrier for example Vodafone. This is because of the unique CIDs used and the fact that it is extremely hard to find a stock ROM since no one can give you a NANDROID backup.
Anyways, there are numerous benefits to rooting your phone included with most ROMs. These benefits include longer battery life, faster ROMs & various other things depending on each chef.

Ok, thanks, but are the roms buggy at all, will some of the hardware not work properly, or will i have freezing probs etc, as i found this always to be the case with win mo roms?.. have you personally found a rom that works perfectly that includes htc sense? As i do like the UI..
My goal is to have all security off, full perm root, with a perfecly working sense rom that i can then overclock to a speed that works well with my particular phone, and to underclock when idle etc..
Thanks..

I need to verify that my Tmobile G2's INFOCID is compatible.
I typed in the two commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem boot
The first one worked. The second command is not recognized once I'm in the bootloader. Can someone suggest a solution?

Newbie question,
how to unroot if i rooting the phone using this metode?
and how to go back to original rom?

Firstly, to root the phone just follow the steps and once you've finished them all you will be done.
Second, it should technically be possible once you've rooted the phone to simply do a NANDROID backup via ClockWorkMod Recovery before you start flashing new ROMs. If you have backed it up and later decide you want to unroot then all you would need to do from there is restore your nandroid backup and unroot the phone through this method.

Using this method you don't have to worry about your CID. If you make a goldcard it will completely bypass the need for one of the CID's listed in the first post. So to put it simply, you don't need to worry about your unique CID if you create and use a goldcard to downgrade.

okay, but we need to root the device first right? before ClockWorkMod Recovery can run, the problem is, if I root the device first, the device must be downgrade to build 1.34.405.5, and now my Desire Z using build 1.82.xxx.x
is it if we backup via ClockWorkMod, the ROM that we backup is 1.34.405.5? not my current build?
please help bro, really confused here

Hi forceonature, im no expert, but when i was having a look myself, i found out it was simply my enviroment variables wernt set up for the directory fastboot was located.. an easy way round this was just to enter the directory fastboot was in (program files, 'some directory'.. do a quick search) within your command prompt, and type the second command from there.. hope that helps..

Everything goes fine until
mmap() failed. Operation not permitted
when I put in
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
Any help?

Also I can only put su and Superuser.apk on my sdcard if I manually transfer them.

I tried the same thing to get my DZ phones CID and the first one worked and the second didn't. If I don't have to make a gold card all the better. How can I find out for sure if my CID is on the list or not? Also if I have to make a gold card do I need to have a micro SD card to make the gold card?
Thanks,
Chevy

You should get a line that says INFOt.cid=XXXXXXXX or any of the lines that say your 8 Digit CID. However, as you can see there are multiple lines that say it and they should all be the same.
If your CID does match one on that list then you will not need a goldcard.
I've attached a screenshot to make things easier.

Yeah, you can only have a NANDroid backup of 1.34.xxx because there is no way to get clockwork onto a 1.72+ rom.

Hi, I'm new to rooting the G2. Iv'e been trying to follow this tutorial, but I'm having some trouble. After renaming Rom.zip to PC10IMG.zip I booted into the bootloader and it says 'no image found' or something like that. What am I doing wrong? Am I not supposed to put the zip file on the root of the SD card? Is it possible to just use the RUU to downgrade?
And regarding the downgrade, the build number on my G2 shows 1.22 . Isn't that lower than 1.34?
Any help is appreciated!

I followed the instructions twice and both times I get to
"/data/local/tmp/misc_version –s 1.33.405.5"
I get
/
Patching and backing up partition 17
Error opening backup file.
#
The first time around I iqnored it and went through hboot, the rom PC10IMG.zip was checked and verified and finally failed prompting "the main version is older"
what am I missing?
EDIT: checked SD card, unmount and remounted phone/sdcard no avail.
Will try 1.33 Bell rom next.
EDIT2: Patching and backing up sucessful, problem was I couldn't get my phone to stay in debugged mode without being in DISK DRIVE, had to start HTC Sync to mount the phone in that way to relieve the sd card, allowing adb to patch the file. Now running through PC10IMG.zip with fingers crossed.
EDIT3: Everything went smooth after that! Thanks. Now I will attempt to update to 2.3 and Sense 3.0
EDIT4: Now running on 2.3.3 and Sense 3.0 Virtuous port. Testing...probably going back to more stable gingerbread and sense 2.1

[GUIDE] Mini guide to root Gnex manually

1. Download and install Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Moblie_Phones_v1_4_6_0.exe
Link to download: http://www.multiupload.co.uk/YXE6FWLFAR
2. Download and install Android SDK (http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r16-windows.zip)
3. With the phone turned OFF, hold VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN and power the phone on. This will put you in bootloader mode
4. Using windows/cmd go to the folder where Android SDK was installed (make sure that the folder android-sdk/platform-tools/ contains fastboot.exe and adb.exe etc....
5. using windows/cmd go to the folder /android-sdk/platform-tools
From this folder try the command "fastboot devices" (do not include ") which should list the device connected to your PC.
6. First we have to unlock bootloader,
use this command to unlock bootloader > fastboot oem unlock
(warning.. you will loose all data)
After the bootloader is unlocked the device will reboot normally.
7. Once normally booted from the command prompt issue the commands given below (after each command press enter button)
Note: you need su and superuse.apk (which can be downloaded from here: https://rapidshare.com/files/1319181583/su.zip)
unzip the downloaded file in the same folder where fastboot.exe exist i.e /android-sdk/platform-tools/
adb root
adb remount
adb push su /system/bin
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb reboot
Done!... your device is now rooted.

it would be good to note that many people have issues with the initial android driver installation.
if you install the drivers, but the phone doesn't show up after a period of time, open control panel -> system -> device manager and look for any devices that have a yellow triangle error (no driver). right click and open properties, and manually select the driver, not auto! the next screen will give you an option to 'select from a list', do this, and find SAMSUNG, then select the latest drivers.
after this, it can still take a minute or two the first time for drivers to install properly, you usually can see the status of this in the usb system tray icon.
if you rebooted to the bootloader (power vol(+) vol(-)), from the command line, if you type "fastboot devices" it should list a device and serial number. if not, you need to go check your drivers, something is missing. also, don't forget how magical a windows reboot can be at times : )

Hi
Thanks for this note which would help many users.

Hi, noob here.
First of all, thanks for the guide.
I have already unlocked the bootloader about a month ago (up to step 6), but would like to root.
Will my phone lose all data again if I root the phone now? I'm not even sure what this actually does, but would like to learn and mess around with it.

You will not loose data. Rooting gets access your system folders by pushing su and superuser through adb.
Hope it helps.

Did you actually test that with a stock rom?
Because adb root will not work with ITL41F at least.
Code:
./adb root
adbd cannot run as root in production builds
Furthermore the chmod for Superuser.apk is totally bogus. No need to mess with it's permissions.
i think a better way is get su and SuperUser.apk from the developers (ChainsDD) site and install it with a temporary boot CWM to install it.
(these instructions are also from memory And i rooted my one from source, but that's a bit involved)
this would mean instead of step 7 do.
7. Download CWM into the same directory as fastboot
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-toro.img (Verizon)
or
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.2-maguro.img (GSM)
Make sure to get the right version for your device.
8. download http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
onto the internal storage of the phone( "sdcard" )
9. With the phone turned OFF, hold VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN and power the phone on. This will put you in bootloader mode
10. again using windows/cmd go to the folder /android-sdk/platform-tools
From this folder try the command "fastboot devices" (do not include ") which should list the device connected to your PC.
11. Start CWM (without installing it)
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-XXX-XXX.img
(use the right filename from step 7)
12. choose install update and select the zip from step 8.
You need to use volume up/down to navigate and power to select.

How to root htc one vx
HTC One VX comes from the
HTC One series of
smartphones consisting of
high-end specifications, such
as Dual-Core processors and
the latest version of Android

III. Rooting the HTC
One VX:
1. Place the Root Package
archive on the Desktop of
your PC.
2. Extract files from the
archive to your Desktop.
Don’t launch any files just
yet.
3. Turn ON the USB
debugging option on your
device by heading to
Menu>>Settings>>Developer
options>>USB debugging .
4. Turn OFF the device.
5. Reboot the device into
Fastboot mode. To do so,
simply hold down the
Volume DOWN+Power
buttons together.
6. Once inside the Fastboot
mode, connect the device to
your PC using the USB cable.
7. Open a Command Prompt
Window on your Desktop. To

button on your keyboard
and right-click on any empty
area on the screen, then
select Open command

adb remount
11. Next, enter following
commands into the
Command Prompt Window
one-by-one. Press ENTER
after each line you type:
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
adb push su /system/xbin/

open the Superuser app
from your App Drawer.
14. Tap the Update binaries
button in the app and let it
do the rest of the work.
15. And you’re all done!
Brilliant! Your device has
been successfully rooted and
the SU binaries have also
been updated. Now load-up
some root-only apps on
your device to realize the
power of root-access!

[ROOT]How to Root KVT49L.D85110r and Install TWRP. My experience

I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this. Moderators, Please feel free to remove it or relocate it
First of all thanks to all amazing people on this forum ( thecubed,777jon,Dees_Troy, chainfire, supernoman, crashfocus, etc)
This is not my work . It is a compilation of what it worked for me from the work made by others. It is directly toward newbie users.
Instructions
1- Make sure you install LG G3 drivers in your computer( you can get them attached on this thread). Connect phone to the PC using USB cable. Make sure the phone is recognized when you plug it in with the usb cable
Also phone shall be connected as Media device (MTP), if it is in Charge Phone change it to MTP.
Scroll down this post. You will find the correct usb drivers attached. Install them in your pc.
2- Enable Developer options in your phone on Setting > General> About phone > Software information > and click seven times Build number until it enables it
3- Enable USB debugging on your LG G3 from your phones Settings > Developer options > tick ‘USB debugging’ check box. A window should pop up in your phone display to allow USB debugging. Select Allways Allow from This Computer and hit OK.
It will also be convenient to Enable installation of apps from Unknown Sources: Open phone’s Settings » select Security » Tick the “Unknown sources” check box (under Device administration section)
4- Download and unzip
- Pupledrake-Lite at http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lg_g3/purpledrake/PurpleDrake-Lite_R03.tar.gz Thanks to Codefi.re
- Download and unzip the attached ADB LOCAL READY with TWRP recovery.img
Thanks to @Dees_Troy & TeamWin - for TWRP Touch recovery
ATTACHMENT IS HERE- JUST CLICK HERE
5- Download -Latest SuperSu at http://download.chainfire.eu/641/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip Thanks to Chainfire
6- Transfer UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip to the internal sdcard
7- Open Purpledrake-Lite and Run purpledrake_windows.bat. It should detect your devices if it is not, you need to check if the drivers were installed properly and unplug-plug back your phone.
Hit Enter as instructed on the computer screen until it gains temporary root.
IMPORTANT : READ AND DO NOT CONTINUE TO PERMANENT ROOT INSTRUCTIONS DISPLAYED. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTINUE WITH ADB INSTEAD.
Hit Ctrl+C to exit to use adb.
This process takes a few seconds and The phone start on download mode and it will stay on it.
8- Open ADB LOCAL READY folder you downloaded and hit Start Here.bat
Type "adb devices" to ensure that your phone is connected and it accept adb commands . On list of devices attached it should show LGD851........
Unplug it and plug it back if it is not .
NOTE: SOME PEEPS HAVE REPORTED PROBLEM WITH ADB NOT WORKING PROPERLY ON USB 3.0 PORTS. PLEASE USE USB 2.0 PORTS
9- Type "adb push recovery.img /temp"
You will see that it pushes the data. it should take a few seconds
Note: you may need to push it a few times if you do not find the recovery file on the /temp folder when you do step 12.
Some members stated that they need to push it ..5 times.
rubbamade tip
" This does work. If after you do the "adb push....", Hit the up key on your keyboard. What you just typed " adb push...." will appear again. Hit enter. It will "push" again. Hit up again. Hit enter. Do this at least 5 times. Now proceed with next step "adb shell"..... Should work now"
For some reason others user needed to push it more than 5 times, i assume that it is due to the file size of the image and your operating system and pc settings(i used win7). It is recommended to verify if it was pushed on step 12.
10- Type "adb shell" and it should go to shell command $
11- Then type "/temp/fakesu". This will put you in a superuser shell on your device. It should show su command line # .
12- Type "ls /temp" to make sure that recovery.img and fakesu are in /temp folder . If it is not, then you did not complete correctly the above instructions..repeat it
13- Type "dd if=/temp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery". it will take a few seconds to complete and install TWRP recovery.
14- Type type "reboot recovery" It should boot onto TWRP Touch recovery. it could take a few but it should
15- Once in TWRP, select install,go to the SD card directory, select UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip and install it. Reboot the phone once complete. Do not panic, it should take a while to cook and update applications, but it will, be patient.
16- Your device is rooted and with TWRP custom recovery. IF you do not see SuperSu in your application drawer, do not panic, just install it from the Play Store.
17- Now you are ready to install custom Roms, any application that requires root, or enjoy root features.

Your experience is very interesting vcurbel!
I was under the impression there was no way to root untouched stock 10R.
It would appear you have found a way! :good: Thanks for your contribution.
I am curious if anyone else has replicated this?

thank you so much had a little trouble but successfully rooted my device

Where was this guide yesterday?
Last week I just thought rooting build R was impossible as of yet, got fed up, and 5 minutes ago ran the LG Update tool to revert my phone back to stock/ Build C and root that way.

13- Type "dd if=/temp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery". it will take a few seconds to complete and install TWRP recovery.

Edit: Nevermind, had to repush recovery. Didn't go through properly the first time. Thank you
Everything worked great. Thank you for the guide! Rooted on 10r!

try to redo step number 7. But, you are getting into su command line which is #
after you do the ls/temp on su #, you should get the list of files in your temp folder.....check if recovery and fakesu are there
then continue to step 13

Here is the problem. You pressed to continue (enter) to create permanent root after temporary root was created
You need to press CTRL C instead , then it will exit......then continue to next step with ADB LOCAL READY.
Ill clarify this better on step 7.

Once I click CTRL C screen disappears then I go to ADB file and follow procedures. IT STILL DOES NOT WORK
That's what I do. I clicked enter first time rooting following purple instructions. Then I realized it does not work with January update. I run purple drake again (after I found this "fix") and, as I said, I DO NOT PROCEED WITH ENTER. I use CTRL C. The window closes and I open ADB, then click start hereand follow the rest of the procedures. So YES I did click enter once initially (because purple drake post is not updated that it does not work with JAN 15 update).

If I recall if the PD batch file/script is closing on you or giving you trouble, then you can run the script manually.
See link below to thecubed PD lite thread and read the 5th grey portion down of the OP, it is titled:
"But, what if I don't want to run your script to root?"
If you must use command line because the PD batch file/script is closing immediately just be sure to STOP after gaining temporary root!
From OP step 7:
IMPORTANT : READ AND DO NOT CONTINUE TO PERMANENT ROOT INSTRUCTIONS DISPLAYED. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTINUE WITH ADB INSTEAD. [/FONT]

Hello,
I am also having the same issue. I tried the above steps a couple times and am not sure if I am doing something wrong (more than likely I am). What did you mean by repush recovery?

Try step 9 again
9- Type "adb push recovery.img /temp"
You will see that it pushes the data. it should take a few seconds

Yes, The phone is recognized and the file as you see was pushed (see script above). I think there is some issue with this method, as other people are reporting problems following the procedure in post #1??!! I guess it work for some and it does not for others.
