Not sure where to post a victory message! After scouring the net over my truly new LG Escape P870, actually newly released to the world in mid-September, for rooting information, I somehow landed on Bin4ry's thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460.
I am extremely happy to say that version 15 did the job! I wanted to post this in his thread, but I'm not allowed to because I'm new.
So for anybody enjoying using this great phone, there's hope. And it's EASY!
Peace, tinkicker.
I tried Bin4ry's as well but it did''t work for me. It kept giving me errors (i tried it like 10 times). I tried both methods (for tabs and the normal) I wanted to post on Bin4ry's and give him the output that I got but I couldnt post on that thread (new user) . Then I found a site, which I am not able to post the link to because xda doesn't let me( new user), but if you google "LG Esteem OneClickRoot" it is the first result that comes up. I tried that one, it also gave me errors and restarted my phone, I thought It didnt work but when I went and looked in the installed apps, for my surprise there was a new app - "superSU". So I opened a terminal typed su and there it was the coveted # sign . Now I need to find how to install a new recovery.
Hey guys, just got this phone today. Tried both of those methods with no luck so I figured why not try the method that worked on the recently ported ICS 4.0.4 for the LG Thrill.
You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31963526&postcount=532
The version 1.6 worked for me. The only problem I had was there was an error reading a file, second time through it worked with 0 errors.
Also there is an update to our firmware from P87010c to P87010f not sure what the difference is.
NO JOY!!!
Okay...I'm stupid. Rooted phone...one wrong move with a system file...yep. Brick.
Fortunately I was 1 day shy of my hardware warranty expiration so new phone. But...now Bin4ry's app no longer works for me! It will NOT root this new Escape!
Tomorrow I'll try MikesTooLz's and see what happens.
Look at your system info, did you get the newer software version? The v10f or P87010f is the update, the one on my phone that I rooted with wkparks method is v10c or P87010c.
If it's the updated version can't say for sure but the link I posted above worked on 2 LG phones that I have, may work on yours.
I suspected the software update--it's the F version--might be the culprit but I didn't know what the original was so I couldn't be sure.
So what can I do? Wait on someone to cover the F update? Could I download the older version, root, and then upgrade again?
Did you try the method posted in the link I provided? You may have to run it 2 times to get it to work. Also some have reported better results with version 1.2 of the root script vs 1.6
What exactly is going wrong? Can you give me a screenshot of the cmd prompt? I will do what I can to help, I have the update ready to go but haven't done it because I want to make sure I have root. haha
Downgrading isn't really possible because the only KDZ I can find is the v10f which I posted in a thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33752762
I'm slowly working on this phone so hopefully we can get a custom recovery going and everything no promises though but, I won't be happy till I can put a custom rom on this phone.
Urabewe, it worked!
I could NOT download v1.6. It would appear to download, virus scan would run, and browser would lock up. When I checked my "extract to" folder, the bin and files folders were there, but none of the .bat files had extracted. I was able to correctly download and extract v1.2, so I ran it, and my phone is now rooted. Thank you for the info!
It ran the first time and failed. Ran the second like you said I might have to, and it completed correctly.
I have the update ready to go but haven't done it because I want to make sure I have root. haha

Does that mean you were waiting to root your phone to see if I bricked mine? LOL!
Now...everybody talks about "install a new recovery". Can somebody point me to or describe the correct procedure/routine/script that I need to follow in order to set my phone up safely like it should be? What apps do I need to fulfill all the correct steps? Yes, I've messed around with a tablet root for a year, but I'm no developer. As far as the technicalities go, I'm pure NOOB. Windows, I understand. Linux, I'm learning. I don't know how to be safe about this and I can't afford to buy another phone if I screw up (wife is watching me closely).
Urabewe, thanks for the help!
Awesome glad it worked. No wasn't waiting for you to brick, just confirm root was possible, and this is nice to know I may just upgrade later then.
Recovery is not possible right now, bootloader is locked and only thing we can get into is download mode which has nothing to do with custom recoveries. Slowly working on it so anything I find will be posted.
Any info I find will be posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33752762 so keep an eye out there.

has anyone tried any of the one click methods? ive found 3/4 different ones out there.
One Clicks...
I tried two specifically meant for LG phones, and I had no luck with them. I succeeded with Urabewe's posted links though. And yes, as I posted in their thread, v10f IS rootable. Once I figure out how to take screencaps again, or better take live video of the screen, I will get it as more proof. Now to see if ROMs will be possible soon....
I can't rooting my terminal, other method easy?

HI,
i have rootet my T-MobileGalaxy S3 and leave the original FIrmwarfrom T-Mob on it. No custom Rom.
Now i wanted to show TV with my MobileTV App. But there comes a disclaimer, that i don't use original firmware
from T-mobile so i can't watch. Than the app closed.
A talk to T-Mobile custom care have no solution, cause they can't stop the romcheck in the app.
Anyone any idea? And please, don't the unroot it. I have rooted it cause i need AF-Firewall. Unrooting is no solution.
Please help :crying:
Thanks
How did you root? If your status shows "modified" things like this will not work. Only one way I know for sure to gain root without causing the status to change. Even then, system modifications can also trigger it. Has to do with DRM policies where any drm content will not work with rooted devices.

Hi, i rooted it with "oneclick 7.0", from here.
everything works. only MobileTV denied.
But I'm not the only one with this prob.
forum.telekom.de/foren/read/service/mobile-nutzung/mobiletv/root-romchek-in-mobiltv-zwingend-noetig,875,11148223,11148223.html
Only way to root w/o causing the device status to change is the root66 method. (Sorry I didn't put that in before, too tired i guess!)
Even then, if you apply any mods it'll change to modified. (I just tested a root method that failed, so I'm 100% stock, and just the attempt seems to have changed it)
Ill reflash root66 in a bit to verify I'm not remembering wrong. Will let you know.

Oh, OK, thats not fine. I searched here for a while, and find the one-click-root .
And now, i don't think i can reset it.
But the most fail is, that the MobileTV app is checking the ROM.
Why, its not necessary. :silly:

Hello All I have a new S4 mini (I9195 UK Vodafone) that I am trying to root but odin keeps stalling at getting pit for mapping.
I have tried all the methods in the main post by arco68, plus any others I have come accross.
The phone works and boots into download and recovery modes, is my bootloader locked?
Can Odin detect your phone? Try installing the latest Samsung USB Drivers.

Yes Odin detects my phone and i have the latest drivers
That sounds odd. Maybe some other Vodafone users can confirm whether they have successfully rooted their mini.
My old xperia arc s from them had the bootloader locked.
Sorry to bump but are there no vodafone uk users to confirm successful rooting ?
I have successfully rooted my s4 mini using the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980 method and I am on Vodafone. It's not a vodafone branded phone though, is that what you mean?

Hi o/
Hopefully you guys can help me, a noob (video just said I was one lol).
I was about to follow the rooting steps from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980 but I noticed that my phone is called I9195T instead of I9195. Its firmware is I9195TDVUAMH1 as opposed to I9195XXUAMH1 mentioned in that thread.
Can I still follow those rooting steps, or are those devices different in some significant way? My google-fu failed to find any info about how "T" is different.
Thanks!
try again

Trying to get this straight instead of hopping through forms. The stock att 4.3 rom can be loaded on the canadian i747m but theres no modem to support the i747m. Am I correct in saying this or has anyone flashed it and got it working here in canada? I'm with telus and I know I'm going to be waiting forever for telus to put the official update out.

rymanh - says "Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337M using xda premium" this indicates you are using the S4, maybe wrong thread?
There have been reports of it working with the old modem on the 747m but ONLY with TELUS. I have not read anywhere that it has worked for bell. I myself from the day that this was leaked and repacked by looserskater as a flashable, have been UNABLE to get data on bell. Everything else works flawlessly. When you go to mobile networks, with will say that there is no sim inserted. But once again this is on BELL there are screenshots of it working on TELUS as i said but they can be faked.

I747M Running Stock Android 4.3
So for the Canadian user's with the galaxy S3 I747m got the official Android 4.3 update yesterday under Rogers network. But the problem is without me knowing about this, " KNOX " also got installed with this update and I just found out there is no way to remove it. Will a developer be making say a REMOVAL TOOL to remove KNOX???
Even i am in the same boat. I also installed andriod 4.3 but KNOX came with the pack. Now whenever I try to use SuperU or Root application, Knox gives me an error.
If I click on Knox app, it asks me whether to install and create an account. Hence, I am sure, Knox is not installed yet in my device, but still I get error - "Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked. Tap to learn more." I believe this is fully related to the new security app "KNOX" from samsung that was loaded during the update.
Can anyone give some hint how to remove Knox or regain root access?
If you're looking to root 4.3 then just use cf auto root. After following the steps in the thread just update or install supersu from the play store and after opening it it'll ask if you want to disable knox. Just press yes.

I hav got a s3 i747m as a gift from canada. I live in india. I studied a lot about Region locking and its effects . I had 4.1.1 and I updated to 4.1.2 through wifi(settings> about device> software update) .. now the next update is 4.3 .. I talked to samsung customer care (national ). they said that give your phone to nearby local samsung service centre . they will modify your imei to indian based and u won't face region locking anymore. but when I visited service centre . they said that they are not authorised to unlock s3 which is not Indian region based. they can't help me. now what should I do ? I can't get a sim from canada. and can't I ever update to 4.3 or 4.4(in future) ?
thanks in advance for reading and helping me
I think the best thing you should do is root your phone and put a custom ROM on it. It's the only best thing going for you right now. If you need help with the rooting or ROM, just reply back here.

How would I go about rooting this. i've tried towelroot(Didn't expect it to work)
I saw a few different root methods when I googled but all on random blogspot sites(which i believe to be untrustworthy) what do you guys find the best way to do it is? also anyone heard of srsroot? i have never heard of it but apparently it works for this version of the firmware for this phone.

Hey sorry didn't get the email about your response. I actually tried every method I could find(including that one) and they all just leave me with eu.supersu.com (or something like that) installed but crashing everytime I launch it. I'm doing it from completely stock. I flash the stock Rom back on through Odin after each failed attempt. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Also I have rooted a few phones before so I do know relatively what I'm doing.
This is what I followed

Have you tried Framaroot? I really have almost no experience with the note 2, and I read here that the rooting method of choice is Chainfire's as terpin32 suggested, but the Framaroot thread does list the note 2 as a supported device. Do you know what bootloader you have? If it is locked, I don't know if this works.

I'm a bit confused as to why you are having issues rooting your Note 2. I have the Rogers Note 2 i317m and it was on the same firmware and rooted it without any issues using the link I provided and from the looks of it you even tried methods that are better. I wonder what other factors may be affecting your rooting processes.
Where does the process fail and on which rooting instructions?

Well they all appear to successfully root the phone but when the phone reboots I get an app(titled eu.supersu.com or something like that) that crashes immediately every time I launch it with most of the methods. A few methods gave me a working supersu app but no su binary. I'm really getting frustrated oh I'm also on Rogers I don't think I mentioned that. Maybe I should try factory reset in it in case any apps are causing the problem.

Just figured i'd let you guys know I finally worked up the nerve to factory reset(i hate doing it) and it fixed the problems i was having.I also had to manually reinstall the supersu apk after rooting.
Glad you got it sorted. Setting everything up again is not trivial, but sometimes it has to be.
