JL969u is the user who posted this fix make sure to goto the original thread and give him thanks.
i think there a easier way
just use titanium backup to convert superuser to system app
Here is your root in english, no need to watch video.
Supersu has been uploaded too.
After root install superSU and do as promted, it will remove the installed root app.
Now go to apps and uninstall the chinese app that vroot installed.
For OCD clearance do a wipe ?

If you've got root, try running freegee. Don't know if it works on the 10p update as I immediately downgraded when I got my new phone.

vroot worked great for me on 10p. Why wouldn't it be safe?
I'm sure it worked great. Google vroot, and Kingo. Both are known to be malicious rooting apps

Crap well I used it. Right after I rooted I did remove the superuser install the one I traditionally use. Deleted the original and updated the binaries twice. I guess I will have to live with it.
Freegee loaded. Got twrp installed

Well the problem with vroot is that it supposedly Logs and uploads IMEI Numbers to servers in china(possibly). The idea around that is well they could use those IMEI numbers to take a stolen phone or Chinese phone and give it the uploaded US IMEI and then create a activation outside of the US.

Well, just dog the same trick as stated within the Universal Root thread - quickly press the home key after the 2nd LG logo appears and the back and menu button flashes at the bottom, self tested.

To install you need a root explorer app
Then you copy both files to the system/app folder...
Fix permissions and see what happens...
Make sure you make a back up just in case it breaks something...

I don't think anyone's experienced a hard brick from free gee. But anything you do is at your own risk obviously. There are a lot of helpful people here and on the optimus g IRC so chances are whatever you do can be fixed. In any case good luck.

How do I get the OTA Kit-Kat with a rooted v 4.1.2 ? I have SuperSu for the Superuser app and see no option to do a temp unroot (if that will even work for the OTA update).
I have managed to stay out of trouble so far, the OTA update downloads and tries to install - then I get the error "Root suspected" during the beginning of the update process. I can just turn off and on and everything is fine. I would like KitKat, but I'm seeing so many threads saying the At&T Optimus G Pro (E980) with the 4.1.2 ROM is exempt from most of the tricks supplied here for this unit. I don't know how I managed to finally root it, I tried 5 methods then went back to the first one I tried that failed before and it worked the second time. I think it was a wrong ADB version running on my laptop.
Any tried and true methods to get KitKat for this beast and still have root? Thanks.

Just to be sure we are on the same page, you are referring to LG Flashtools, correct?

To the people saying that the app only gives half root, have you tried performing the root fix manually without [NUT]'s fixer?
right well it seems i get full root access with towel root .... UNTIL i install superSU then it all just goes to sh!t without superSU i can install busybox etc even flash things with flash gordon but when i install the supersu app NOT the binary (it doesnt let me) apparently im not even rooted anymore.
which would indicate im only half rooted but i have full access and permissions to the system folder and everything else.
does this mean that superSU needs updating to work with towelroot?
I be using this guide to root my wifi model of the Note I be getting soon:
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-10-1-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-10-1-2014-edition/
I just wanted to ask, is this the best and up to date method?.
Also do I have to disable knox?, all I want really is to have access to the SD card so I can delete and write stuff there.
Thank you
