[Q] Confused in Root Status - Sprint LG G2

I am using the LS980 unlocked with the following details
SW VERSION: 4.4.2
BASEBAND VERSION: M8974A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20046
KERNEL:3.4.0
BUILD: KOT49I.LS980ZVE
SOFTWARE VERSION: LS980ZVE
When I purchased the phone it came without SuperUser installed
Now for rooting I tried ' One Click Root ' and it said " Your Device is Already Rooted"
Then I tired ' StumpRoot 1.2.0 ' it also said " Device is Rooted"
After that I installed SUper user from play store for root, after installation Super User failed to run
So I searched in root directory and found that there is a file in system folder as following
" system/xbin/su "
I don't get it. If device is rooted then why I am unable to use SuperUser
and if not rooted then what is the purpose of that file in Xbin folder ?
Please suggest what should I do ?

Tot back to stock zve then if you want.. Reroot and download supersu

Flashing tot will lock the device. I will not be able to use it on another SIM as I am using now.
Kindly advice would it be safe if I proceed to re root the device without flashing tot.
If I use LG ROOT SCRIPT 1.2 (easily available on internet) ?

It would be safe to run the script. I had my phone in the same state once and i tot back to zve and when in download mode showed rooted. But it took the script anyway.

Android Commander allways reporting no root access

Please can someone explain why android commander is allways reporting me my HOX has no root access?
This happens to me on every rom I've tried yet.
Or is this related to S-On?
Try rooting a few times, make sure busy box is installed and use different methods to root if available.

Connect your phone to your pc and execute these
Code:
adb shell su
then you should get this # if you have root
!!!Solution
"The Root access : No because" you'r using the stock rom which have a "secured adb" (even when you'r rooted)
Download the "adbd insecure" in this thread and "Enable insecure adbd", problem solve:

You re-rooted after Busybox, so you rooted a second time ?
and now you have Root access : availlable in Android Comander ?
You have the galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 SM-T900 ?

No, not the Galaxy but was having the same problem with Android Commander not recognizing root. Saw the post above about re-rooting and also applying the adb insecure app. Did both and I mean just doing the same root process without un-rooting first. I use Super One Click for my phone. Anyway, still didn't work.
So I downloaded BusyBox Free from the playstore and installed it. Ran Super One Click again, also doing the Shell root, and it worked! Don't know if coincidence or just got lucky but posted hoping it might help others.

I already have Busybox installed and ticked option in adb insecure app so I will try to re-root my SM-T900 but I don't believe it'll work
It worked on Huawei Honor 6 L02 with root, busybox + adbinsecure. Thank you all for the tips.
Same issue in my side
I am using Xolo Q900 and installed MIUI custom rom for the device.
But When I connect android commander its showing no root access.
I have tried the Insecure ADB but it failed to patch. showed an error message "Patching not done"
Also showing USB debugging not enable but I have enabled it and its showing active in my phone.
When I am opening titanium backup in my phone Its showing I have root access. I have also installed new version of Busy Box but still no heal.
Can anybody help me on this?
It worked
After installing the ADB Insecure [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26885208] I can now see the Root status OK in Android Commander.
I was making mistake in the Permission Manager in MIUI rom. After allowing the ADB Insecure app from there I was able to patch.
Although You need to restart it again after exiting from the app or phone restart.

My moto G xt1031 is on lollipop 5.0.2 running stock. What i did was go to the binary file in AC. delete everything in it and then replace the adb file frome the most current version. Then i installed adb insecure on my phone. works great now.

I rooted my G2 using ioroot several times with no problems. Here was my basic method (based off memory)
- Turn on USB Debugging
- Connect G2 to PC in Charge Only mode
- Accept RSA Key (If you haven't already)
- Run ioroot.bat
- Follow on screen instructions (newest version is a bit different and requires you to change to MTP mode then back to Charge Only)
- Let phone reboot as normal
- Check root via Root Checker or Android Terminal Emulator.
Then you should be rooted and good to go.

Thanks for your replies. :good:
i was able to finally achieve it. Here is what i did.
--first i flashed my phone with LG flashtool (TOT methods) using stock tot of ZVA version.
-- then upgraded the ZVA rom to ZVC
-- then rooted the phone using ioroot.
-- finally it was rooted.
I used a pervious version of ioroot before i posted this thread and that version created the faulty superuser directory which prevented the newer versions of ioroot to achieve the root.

this is what i think could happen if you use the old version of it once, and then using the correct version will not even root your phone.
In order to overcome this you need to reinstall your from stock so that the faulty superuser folder gets removed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
i followed this forum to start from stock and then root the phone using ioroot25r version as mentioned earlier.
i followed the second method (the tot one).
good luck.

[Q] Help with rooting phone

I have an LG G3 on T-Mobile, running android 4.4.2 and my software version is D85110r. I downloaded and installed Stump Root and when I load the app it says "Device is already Rooted". Then I remember I had previously rooted the phone last summer when I got it. But I'm having issues with several apps not working because of root permission. So then I download and install SuperSU and when I run it, it gives me the message, "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it." It then says something about if you have android 4.3 you need to re-root your phone. How do I proceed? Do I need to un-root my phone and then re-root? Thanks for any help you can provide!
Anyone?
same here. I am not on 4.3 but still getting the same message. Fix?

Hello! I had no problems rooting my F400k with this root tool.. I also tried rooting with Stump but it failed many times.. I suggest format your phone then try this root tool. Look at number 5 of this post.
Attached is the root tool. Good luck

You've flashed other root tools like Stump, etc.. right? It probably left some files behind after unrooting.. Factory reset and try that root tool again.. I've always used it and rooting was a breeze!:fingers-crossed::good: If you have updated to the latest firmware then maybe rooting isn't possible at the moment. Try downgrading to the previous version you had after you've factory resetted and used that root tool.. Good luck mate!

Problems after Downgrade

Hi peeps
i seem to be having problems after downgrading from lollipop to kitkat 4.4.2 and used kHz file uk 10a
i did the whole kdz method n flash tool and although it worked and i am back to stock i can no longer edit APN details and also i can not update software in anyway.
iI have tried hard reset to see if this fixes the issues but no it doesn't, my computer no longer sees my device and also the same in LG suite, device not found blah blah.
I should also say with all this i wanted to also get rid of Mcafee but i can also not root my device now from what i can see, i can enter download mode but i also find it doesn't work
If anyone can give me some heads up ideas to solve this problem that would be fantastic
What's "kHz file uk 10a"? Kilohertz?
Don't use any shady .kdz files. If you search for lg g3 kdz files you end up on an XDA website where everyone shares his official .kdz link. Flash one of those .kdzs for your device and if you're using any v10x kdz you can root it.

hi thanks for asking
I'm now running kitkat 4.4.2 after the downgrade and the version I'm running is V10a-234-20
I suggest to root it with Stump root
- Download Stump Root app and copy it to your device: Click here
- Open File Manager app and install the Apk file. Do not forget to check Unknown sources option under Settings> Security on your device.
- Having installed the app, open Stump Root from app drawer and tap the Grind button. Stump Root will greet you with a melody while the device is being rooted.
- Wait till Stump Root works its magic and allow the device to reboot when you are prompted to do so.
- When you phone boots up, install SuperSU app by Chainfire (download it in playstore)
- To verify root access on your device, download a root checker app and run it.
- Then download TWRP: Click Here
- Flash it with Flashify (download it in playstore)
- Flash any ROM you want to make your G3 like a new one

you can try installing custom recovery (TWRP or any custom recovery you want) and flash the Super user and remove kinguser this way should work i guess

sir please help me rooting my device ive got lg g3 d855 android version 5.0 software version V20n-234-30. thanks
Please help me root my G3 too. I'd love to know how
this is a simple way root your device not sure if it will work but it works with marshmallow tho
1)you will download kinguser apk from playstore and try to root your phone try to root your phone if it failed you will download the windows version of iroot from here http://www.iroot.com/ (you are rooted here)
If you want to swap to supersu
2)you will need to install a custom recovery which will be simple will install this from google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager&hl=en thats TWRP and will select your device
3)https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip you will need to download this zip and reboot to custom recovery you can do it manually or by this apk https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.petrus.tools.reboot
flashing a zip: will be by pressing install in recovery then you will search for the zip in the location you put it in. im not responsible for anything happens to your device.
