Trouble Seeing and Rooting LG-D851 with CyanogenMod - T-Mobile LG G3

Not sure how to best describe the issue, so please stay with me on this. I have a clean install on Windows 7 laptop (Lenovo W530) and on my LG-D851. I cannot seem to root the D851, like I normally do using LG Root Script v1.2. It appears that there is an issue installing the USB driver on Windows 7, but I cannot be sure. I have provided a lot of screenshots so you have as much info as possible. While I can see the phone as a I would a hard drive, Device Manager says the "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)", even though I have installed LG Mobile Driver from here. When I try to root the phone, LG Root Script just hangs on the screen that reads "Waiting for Device...". This process has worked for me in the past, but I cannot determine why it does not now.
A few notes:
Album of Pics
Phone is seen under My Computer
I have tried this process on CyanogenMod 12 and 13 with the same results.
CyanogenMod Version: 12.1-20151117
Android Version: 5.1.1
MTP Enabled
Developer Option Root Access set to: Apps and ADB
Android Debugging: Enabled
Thank you for your help!

Bump. Any suggestions?

Is the phone unlocked? If not get the unlock code from t-mobile. You can also buy ALL the different unlock codes for about 12 bucks from several online services. I then used kingroot to root my d-851. I installed twrp, ROM, turned on root in developer options and all was good. If you want to remove kingroot afterwards, go to https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...0ZScx8RT3Fc5HzFTA&sig2=OwVgKQIMCJAXMHTcO_WLmw for instructions. Hope my experience helps you.

Found something that roots almost every android phone.

Awhile ago I went on the hunt to find software that would root my lg-l45c, weeks later I've found something that should root the majority of phones even Gingerbread 2.3.4! It's called unlock root. You can download it to your PC here: http://www.unlockroot.com/ after it's downloaded onyour PC you have to connect your phone to you PC with USB with USB debugging enabled. After you do that you launch the unlock root and press root. While it goes through the rooting process you maybe ask if you'd like to install driver, if it asks you this, you have to install your drivers. You install your drivers like this: Goto your phone's manufacturer website then goto the the part of the website that has the drivers, it should be somewhere in the support section. After your drivers are installer you may attempt to root your phone again using unlock root, after a few minutes pass it will be done and ask you if you'd like to reboot your phone now? Click yes. After the reboot your phone will be rooted atlast!
Solution to low space.
I'd also like to add that link2sd is great when you are rooted because you can move apps to SD that you couldn't b4 it saves a lot of space.

[HELP] Cyanogenmod 12 Root Access

After months of sitting on the stock rooted rom I finally decided to install CM12 [Official] this morning.
everything is working fine but I have one issue. I've lost my root during install and can't seem to get it back.
So far I've installed SuperSU from the play store and the only thing that happens after telling me that the su binaries need to be updated is me getting the failed message when i hit update. I've also tried the secondary option of installing through TWRP but once you click that it does absolutely nothing.
Obviously there's something that i'm missing or doing wrong. does anybody have any input
Under development you have to enable Root for it to work

That's the thing.... It is enabled under development.
I've restarted my phone numerous times and even did another fresh install enabled it again and the only difference this time around is that root checker is saying i have root now but supersu still wont update the binaries.
Root is now built into Privacy Guard for CM Roms, so if you need to manage anything you have to go to Privacy Guard in the settings. (In other words supersu is no longer needed)
I dont know if you should do this, but i did....
I launched odin and "re-rooted" my phone and it worked.
I already had Cyanogenmod 12 installed. I just put it in download mode and installed supersu through odin and its worked so far
SuperSU and Xposed are built in to Cyanogenmod 12. There is no need for either. Enable root access under Developer Options from the settings.

Can't enable Helium backup on G3 D855

Hello,
I have some problems after updating to Lollipop (sudden shutdowns) and I read a hard reset might help, so I wanted to backup my game progress with Helium before I erase everything.
I did everything as described on Carbon instructions, installed Helium desktop, even Chrome Helium addon, I have a premium version app on my G3 and LG unified drivers installed on my Win7 pc... what happens is that on the desktop app it says that backup on my phone is enabled, but on my phone it says "waiting for backup to be enabled..." and stays like that forever.
I tried deleting the drivers and installing again, nothing, I even tried Verizon set of drivers, nothing. I switched usb methods from MTP to PTP... nothing. My phone is recognised in Device manager properly and on LG PC suite too, but Helium android app fails to get enabled.
Did anyone have a problem of this kind, and what's the solution?
I'm running 20h firmware stock no root.
Thanks in advance.

You can delete the topic since no one replied and I reseted my phone without backup.

Root access problems on Cyanogenmod 13

Hello to all (i have no idea if i am posting this in the right place sorry)
I have recently installed Cyanogenmod 13 on my Asus Zenfone 2 Laser/Selfie (1080p) (Asus-Z00T)
My phone works grate besides the fact that i have root access problems.
First i enabled developer options then enabled root (as now since Cyanogenmod 12 it is hidden) i installed busybox i grant it root access .So far so good nothing unusual i then install clean master then give it root access then when i try to use clean master to stop apps auto starting and i got an error no root access i then installed lucky patcher granted it root access no problem then when i tried patching a app to remove adds i got another root access error.
(I have had problems like this on Cyanogenmod 12)
Now with Cyanogenmod 11 if i get a little root bug i just go to super user app under system settings and delete the app access and then give it new root access again that solves the problem.
IT would seam that since CM12/CM13 there is no superuser app on board and no superuser settings either i have looked everywhere and i just can't find it.
I have the feeling that now root has become just a developer option it is not as good as on Cyanogenmod 11 but i could be wrong.
Could anyone help me please ?? is there a way to fix root access errors ???
The supersu type settings are in settings /privacy/privacy guard

Try re-rooting your device, in the worst case, flash stock rom, then flash cyanaogenmod and then root your device.
Hope this solves your problem.

LG Optimus G Pro E980 "Unfortunately settings has stopped

This is an LG E980 Rooted with SuperUser installed. I have Freegee which says my LG 98020i version is not supported, so I don't know how to proceed with that. I also have Flashfire and Flashify. Not quite sure about these either.
I watched all the YouTube videos, No Help, I reset to factory settings twice, No Help. As soon as I reboot from reset "unfortunately settings has stopped" I can download various apps that can change various settings for me, (Thank God Google has a back door to get into my home wifi or I would be really up a river) but i cant set anything in the settings menu manually. So I got an app to enable ADB and intalled LG Mobile USB driver on my windows box, along with LG Flashtool, LG Mobile Support tool, and LGUP and my phone Still won't connect except to charge. I went into reboot into ADB, when I connect the USB and launch LGUP it says "no device detected" and "install LG usb drivers" for my device (which I already did). I'm running KK 4.4.2 and at this point I just want to reflash my current ROM and hopefully regain access to my device, although installing a new lollipop or marshmallow version without all the useless AT&T crap is appealing. I'm really frustrated with this whole process. Every time I turn around it's something else that won't work. I REALLY don't want to F this up but I think I'm a little over my head. Can someone give me an Idea of how to make this work? I can't even get an APK that isn't from the play store. What a Freakin" Pain. The more I read, the more confusing it gets, with all the .tots or .kdzs, MMs and EFSs, TWRPs, CWMs, and AOSPs, I don't know WTF to do. Can anyone PLEASE point me in the right direction?? Much love and appreciation....
