I've found the kitkat rooting tool for Optimus G Pro which was released yesterday. It's confirmed to be working for F240x series phones with KitKat.
StartRoot.bat will take you to a cwm recovery mode in where you can select the sideload option to install the root files. Once done, just install supersu from Play.
Just tried it on a F240K and works fine.

It's working On AT&T E980 (unlocked) E98018c too

Or just use the power button + volume button combination to get into the recovery mode.

Thanks so much mate.. But which volume buttons do I press and when do I press them? Can you please give me more details? Much appreciated ! ;o)

With the phone turned off, press power & volume up buttons at the same time. Then when the white text message comes up, release both buttons.

Hello again Could you please advise me on how to flash a zip file from either internal or external storage? I've placed a zip file in both internal and external storage but I can't seem to access the storage paths.
Many Thanks

I've a new one with 4.1.2 stock and none of method here works until I see this post and got recovery-hercules-6.0.4.3.zip installed.
I might write a new guide when I am done, but this one needs to be pinned because I wasted a whole day searching and trying!
Super big thank you :good:
P.S. I used the lastest version of Kinguser from a chinese version of Universal 4.1.2 Root Tool works for me and for those only want root and stay stock.

There is already threads on rooting here. They just are way down the list, but they're there.
Rooting is quite simple and hasn't changed in awhile. Using these tools that seem to be out there can be risky or not work, from what I've seen.
Odin and the appropriate files are all that are needed. Very easy on the S2. And you will still be stock....until you flash something.

And from my experience, Odin 1.85 is still best for flashing recovery.
And for stock 4.1.2 flashing, Odin 3.04.
1.85 to flash any stock images before jelly bean.

Just want to clarify that the method works but the files or links do not. I got so used to searching the forum but should have search via google to get the required files.
P.S. The SUxx.zip you have at drop box does not flash. I noticed there are 2 new folders in it.

Strange, re-uploaded the su zip. Should be working

Rooting 512

Sorry if this is on the forums somewhere but i have a UK P6. Just gone from 116 to 132 then onto Kitkat 512. Tried to root with Vroot but all the destructions are in chineese even on the uk version!
Has anyone rooted 512 using another program?
I was rooted on 116 if this makes any difference.
Thanks all......

Did you manage to root your P6 since your last post ?
I also have a P6 with 4.4.2 B512 official firmware. I tried a lot of methods with no luck : vroot, eroot, root genius, kingo root... Each one failed.
methods listed here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390491

No not yet. Worried I am going to brick it. I followed guide also.
512 is better don't seem to get the wi fi drop outs.
Sent from my HUAWEI P6-U06 using XDA Free mobile app

Maybe the easiest way is to root with TWRP.
Reboot TWRP -> Press Reboot -> System. Now it will promt if you would like to root before rebooting, just press Yes. Now your phone will be reboot and you have root access!
You can restore to Stock recovery after doing this.

Quick question to both of you: do you have the Balance theme applied, or does it look like stock android?
In my experience, when my first boot looked like stock android, I wasn't able to root with vroot or root genius.
When I then changed to the balance theme, I could root successfully.

Well you are right, I'm not on balanced theme. I can't see why it would work but I'll try this week-end.

@Arthurvben, did you try resetting to factory state? That may resolve this issue.

@Arthurvben, I can understand that... Went through something similar and had to finally reset the phone to resolve the issue (wifi issues). Hope you can solve it somehow.

Oops that's really bad.. Sorry about that.. Usually things like this get fixed by reset. Are you quite sure it's a bug? Your sim, is it properly seated? Can't think of anything right now.

Best would be if you could do a fresh install of your firmware using the flash tool ie. the cse flash. Do you have your firmware file downloaded somewhere? Another option I can think of is repairing using the LG PC suite. You may like to consider these options.

Simplest way would be to install "LG phone from" app from the play store and run it. It will provide you with the link to the kdz file for your phone.

Stuck in bootloop after latest update

Gidday
To say I am a pissed off ASUS customer is an understatement...only just got my Zenfone 2 back a couple of weeks ago after getting the motherboard replaced as the camera was stuffed...and now today after applying an update the phone got stuck in a boot loop and I cant for the life of me get it back working again...
Can anyone point me in the direction to the steps to recovering the phone via sideloading the original firmware? I am able to access recovery mode and have attempted to re-install the firmware using the ASUS flash tool but I keep getting the error message that the serial number is incorrect,
cheers

Have you rooted your phone and then applied ota??? If yes, then its likely to get bootlooped.
