so you're trying to root? go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218386
..then go back to the original guide to complete

I did that i redownloaded all the auto root files and still when i go to autoroot.bat it still say the same thing does any of this matter? Im running Android ver: 2.3.3
Baseband ver: 2.15.00.05.02
Build number: 4.24.651 L61076 release keys
Software number : 4.4.651.1
PRI ver:1.77_003
On that guide i think it say it only work for Software versions 1.32, 1.36, 3.29, 3.30 & 3.70 and hBoot Version .76, .93, .97, 2.02 & 2.10 and how do i even find out my hoot version?

I just tried the autoroot quick method and it said unknown bootloader version. Bootloader is the wrong version. Is there anyway i can change my bootloader version?

Thanks alot i got pass that step now lol im stuck one more time. Ok I found 9 msid's and zerod them and i found 11 esn's before i got done checking all the esn locations i had about 5 or 6 locations left to check but i didnt becouse it say theres only 9 meids and 11 esns, and now after i zero them all out and reboot my phone and press ##786# the msid and esn is not all zeros like it should say. What do i do now?

Hey louforgiveno do you have a messenger aol msn yahoo or anything if so leave your screen name and log on i be on asap thanks

I just downgraded to 2.05.00.06.10 and used the revskills to try and zero meid/esn i ended up with a log file how do i write this to QXDM now?

i must be missing something cause everywhere i see it no one replies to this question or there is no answer...
after removing 0 and 1943, i can't ever commit the **** to the DIAG TX item... the DIAG RX item takes it just fine. I have been trying and re-trying for hours... thanks

You need the version of qpst listed In the guide....double check your version

I used the EFS Explorer to add and extract the files. Edit of course with Winhex. I bet the file is not saved properly if you've done this already.

Makes sense. when you drag files back do they have the same look as the ones already in there? What i do notice is that all the other files have a consistent modified date, and there is also a batch of files that show mod dates that are more recent and don't have the red line through them (they look like txt file images on a windows pc). are these temp files that are perhaps messing with writing the ****?

It's normal that they look different, don't know if you tried it yet, but you need to delete the 0&1943 from the phone before copying them back from pc.

i do delete them. but i also see a host of other files that are written on boot(or reboot), those are the ones i'm curious about. i also will downgrade qpst to 2.7.555 to see if that matters.
EDIT: Tried it to no avail. so infuriating... so close but so far...
EDIT: thanks to Klown80 - simple answer is it doesn't matter! there is a guide floating around that says it does, i just happened to end up with it. thinking that it was logical i wasn't going to deviate until i got it right... so unnecessary. so there it is, for those of you who are stumped by this issue...

Root method

I think i saw someone post this method before, but can't find it. So i post root method. Currently this method work on the latest Canadian OG firmware (Both E971 and E973). i did not make this method, i just find it from a chinese web. Here is the link
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-5698914-1-1.html
Here is the instruction.
1. Unzip the zip file
2. turn on usb debug and plug in the cable to pc
3. double click the root.bat
4. unplug the cable.
5. Turn off the usb debug
6. turn on the usb debug
7. plug in the cable.
8. Press enter until it root.
9. Done.

So this work for the E973 on latest stock firmware...? e973H ..?
Be careful, this root is for "[Tutorial] F180 the series 4.1Root method"
That's the title of the other forums.. So this might not WORK!

Yes I tried on my e973 and it work

I just tried FreeGee and its a no go.

I want to root this thing soooo bad!! But I want to have a backup of the official JB update, and I don't want something to prevent me from installing it via OTA. I'm curious to see what lg will do with jb. I'm really liking the stock ICS experience on this phone, and I think they'll just kill it (in a good way) with jb!

I really would have posted this much sooner, however, this particular method was being kept secret with the intention of the exploit still being available upon US Jelly Bean release. Since this has been outed, and is now public, i will share a more proper script of the same method. I actually kept the adb shell id command, as it is pretty useful for this operation.
Main differences in my script is that you don't need to ever disconnect your phone.
1. Unzip the zip file
2. Make sure USB Debugging is on, and your are in Charge only Mode
3. Run the CurrentRoot.bat, wait for the prompt
4. Change to MTP mode.
5. Wait for your computer to ask how to view files.
6. Press enter in the CMD prompt to continue.
7. Done.
This is a fully working method for the most current US/Canadian releases, and Jelly Bean releases. BTW, the current release does not install busybox correctly, includes SuperuserPro.apk (which I'm sure wasn't purchased by everyone downloading this). Also I have updated it to the latest busybox, su binary's, and Superuser.apk available.

hi, is there any way to unroot it? thks

A Million Thanks!

I can't thank you enough.... I got my Optimus G in Dec. and I immediately found root method and was completely content with my new phone. Then came the dreaded OTA update that I knew would remove root. I avoided the update with determination. I shouldn't have let my goofy sister touch my phone... After our got it back from her I realized I wasn't receiving the update reminders. I panicked, checked root, root was lost! :crying: I began searching everywhere only to find that there was no root for zv9....For weeks it was the same. Then yesterday I found your method, fired up my laptop and within 5 minutes my LGOG ZV9 on Sprint was rooted again! Thanks again. I can't tell you how much I rely on my free wifi tether.
---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------
I re-rooted my LGOG after the OTA update to ZV9 robbed me of my original root. It only took about five minutes and worked flawlessly. Well tonight I tried to root my girlfriends phone (also a LGOG running ZV9 on the Sprint network) and although it ran through the process just as mine did, as well as stated root was successful, when I run root check to confirm it comes back negative. What am I doing wrong? Any ideas? Thanks

How do you unroot?

Every time I run CurrentRoot.bat I receive the error " 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" after every step.
Im on Telus running E97310g

confirmed working on LG E975 Singapore version

Afraid LG did something, cant get it to root.
I have an E975 with 4.1.2, software version E97510a-525-05.
I won it in LGs test pilot contest so not sure if its something they did to this or if they plugged the hole completely for the future also.
The guy I spoke to said something about them being flashed as we spoke, and it looked like the phone could have been taken from the box.
Should I wait and hope they send a update after the contest is over or can I use a KDZ and if so, what KDZ can I use to maintain same radio bands?
EDIT: Tried the LG sMobile Support tool and it said it found an update. So now its downloading that *holds thumbs*
EDIT2: Updated to E97510B and still no go, guess they did something to the euro version...

cant root
hi, i tried the CurrentRoot.bat and followed the instructions but couldn't root. it said phone now rooted and restarted the phone but there was no superuser after that
i saved a screenshot of it incase anyone can figure out whats wrong. just got the phone yesterday.... Best phone i've ever used.(from starhub singapore if it helps)
i think its because of the uid and gid not being zero. any ideas??

How can I reflash firmware again since LG support tool says I have the latest version?
L.E. Done with the reflash and iGO primo works again...

5.if it failed on one computer,try on another,following 1-4.i have a friend who couldn't root because of faulty windows.
6.use search button,it has been discused.

Rooted now
Ok, i tried the Motochopper and it worked fine at the first try. Used Freegee to unlock bootloader after that.
@kimitza no errors appeared, at the part thatthe program displayed "if iud=0 then root" mine was on "uid=2000 Shell" and then after i hitted continue it uploaded the apk and display on command terminal showed result as "you are now root". Wich was not true. I kept trying, activated the adb daemon manually, forced it to shutdown (kill), retried. Phone rebooted and everything was as expected but the "uid=0" Used another computer with same result. Motochopper did the Job at first try.

Root achieved on CAT B15Q !!!

Root finally achieved on CAT B15Q.
I tried all the simple methods, none worked.
I used PDAnet USB drivers.
To achieve root, I made a recovery using the CWM method with SP Flash Tool V5.1408.00 following this guide
chinaphonearena.com/forum/Thread-Tutorial-Ultimate-no-root-backup-CWM-MT6582-MT6592-MT6589-MT6589T-MT6577-MT6595
Recovery was patched using MTK Droid tools. However, SP Flash Tool V5 would not flash the phone with the patched Recovery and Boot files, so for that I used SP Flash Tool V3.1332.0sn187. Then root using MTK Droid tools - Superuser (SuperSU failed). Also useful was this guide
chinaphonearena.com/forum/Thread-Tutorial-How-to-build-CWM-and-root-Bedove-X21-MTK6577-and-other-MTK-phones
Note: When plugging phone in for flashing (this is done with the phone OFF), put battery in, plug cable into phone, hold volume down button when you plug the USB cable into the computer.
Checking with a root checker, it told me I did not have full root access, even though Superuser appeared to be working, I only had temporary root.
I then used Root Genius, which finally achieved full root.
A bit of messing around, but worth it.

Install busybox.

Could you make a tutorial?

Yes, a detailed tutorial how to successful rooting a Cat B15Q would be greatly appreciated.
I've tried with towelroot, but app says phone is not compatible.
Newest chinese version from RootGenius is 1.9.6, but international version is only 1.8.7 from
march 2014. Has anybody tried successfully with one of the versions?

just want to be sure before i try it, thanks in advance

Roor genius didn't work for me. Left my phone in wierd state (screen flickering during call). Had to do factory reset after my root tries.

i hope this thread wont die, there isnt much information on the web on how to root the b15q.
has anyone found some good links, or some in any way useful info that they could post here?
i really hope this will turn out better than with the b15, where after half a year there was still nothing reliable
thanks in advance :good: :fingers-crossed:

Can you tell us which version of RootGenius you used? Chinese 1.9.6, or older international version 1.8.7 from march 2014 ? Or another else?

It's an apk fille (in chinese). Just download, run, wait, reboot and voila... Root is there. At least i have it on my B15Q since morning. Root is persistent (still rooted after multiple reboots) and controlled by KingUser app that you will get preinstalled after running thar chinese apk. How much is it safe or not I have absolutely no clue nor guarantee. For me it works without any problems (so far).

thank you for pioneering to root @ my CAT B15Q, keeps any reboot, all works fine!
Through rooting installed Kinguser App is near equal to SuperSU or Superuser.
Hopefully without Chinese back door...

I think I root my phone but I did not transfer my apps to SD card How do you do?

Hmm... Can't Root...

Hey, guys. I need help rooting this phone. I tried the LG Root Script v1.2 and the CMD prompt by avicohh. Both of which looked as if they should have rooted this phone. They did install the SuperSU app but every time I load up the app, it'll say, "there is no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it". I upgraded from an HTC One M7 and never had any problems rooting that phone. What other methods can I use to root this phone? Additional info below:
Model # - LG-D851
Android Version - 5.0.1
Kernel Version - 3.4.0
Software Version - D85120g
Security Software Version - MDF v1.1 Release 2
Unknown Sources and USB Debugging Enabled

Figured it out thanks to digital-bug's app!!!! Sweet!

+1. Tried many other methods, I have the same phone and software version.
This is the link to the method that worked.
Neither of these worked:

I managed to do it with an ubuntu desktop with a little tweaking. As soon as I figure out how to install TWRP I'll post a more complete how-to.
