[F240*]Root your G Pro Kitkat!

Manual root method for Optimus G Pro(F240*)!
I'm not sure about E99* devices, but it will work, if it has same AP.
Just double-click Run.bat and follow instructions, and you'll be rooted.
P.s don't post this on Korean site Devoloid, LG Deivce World. I already posted.

I was really shocked, Stock recovery can use sideload !

Thanks OP! This works like a charm!

why recovery in this root is old ? how to update to latest ?

The Run.bat did not work for me because it kept saying adb.exe is not a command.
I solved opening a command window in the folder and following the run.bat commands manually.
worked perfectly

I rebooted in recovery after root, and I found the stock recovery again.
I assume this doesn't flash a custom recovery.
Just few questions: Will this root Optimus G Pro on KitKat only ?
I mean, if I didn't update and I were on 4.1.2, Could I use this root method to root my phone?
So if the answer at the previous question is a "yes" and since this root method is working on G pad and G2 too, Would it be possible to use this root method on G2 4.2.2 too ? Thanks.

Not sure about it, but both of them are possible, theoretically.
Any phone with system partition on /dev/.../msm_sdcc.1/... with stock recovery can use this tool.

To OP, help please?
I have an F420S Variant and its rooted 4.1.2 using this http://www.hkepc.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=1936283&extra=&page=1
Do you have any suggestion so that I can upgrade to Android Kitkat (Root)? Using your method?
Thanks!

Well this is root tool, so you should update your device first.
Use LG Mobile Suoport Tool.

Thanks for the reply, BTW, do I need to unroot and remove my custom recovery before I use the LG Mobile Support Tool?

No, you don't.
Just install it, connect your device with LG Software mode, and run update.
Note : updating your device will unroot it and custom recovery will be removed.

Did you select "apply update from adb" on recovery mode?

Yes, I did. After I selecting ADB, the bat file tried to send the zip to my phone but then there is a message, device not found.
I installed the LG driver and the USB driver from SDK tools.
I can see that Windows found the phone from the device manager but it is not installed properly. I tried to update the driver by pointing to the INF file in the SDK usb driver folder but still no luck.

I can root my phone finally. I just used a Windows 7 PC and it works. I only have the LG USB driver installed.

[Q] Software Update for Rooted LG G3

I have the D855 international, with v10f. It's rooted with PurpleDrake Lite. The phone has just downloaded a software update, which I have NOT installed. Can I install it? If I do install it:
- will I need to root again?
- will anything else be affected?

If you run the software update it will either work (and root will be maintained) or it will fail with a message that your phone is suspected of being rooted and boot back up unchanged. If it fails then you need to unroot first by flashing a KDZ of the version you are using in Normal Flash mode to retain your data/apps

You can try this method first to lose root and update your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
If not, you can also follow this guide to flash your current .kdz file again and lose root like that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2802286
If you want to find your current .kdz file, you can use this link:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI HERE
You have to put in your IMEI after the "=". That will take you to a page with some info. Use the link next to "<sw_url>", copy it and that will start the download of your latest rom (in form of a .kdz file).
(Not sure if I pasted the links in the correct order, but the first one should be regarding the use of LG PC Suite and the second one about flashing .kdz files)

When Marshmallow arrives.

Hey guys!
So here we go, i recently have the latest firmware on my T-Mobile LG G4 rooted with TRWP so when Marshmallow arrives how can I update it? How can I restore factory settings so I can take the OTA?
If I remove super su and on his settings select un root, can I still take the OTA even if TRWP is installed?
Thanks anticipated

From what I've read, is that when you have a custom recovery installed you can't update OTA. You will need to flash a stock .kdz file.

LG G4 VS986 2BA Root Process

Hey everyone,
I feel like I've looked EVERYWHERE and tried EVERY app and computer program to root my device. Is there anyway to root a LG G4 VS986 2BA at this time? If not is there some way I can degrade my software in order to do it? Or, am I stuck with this lousy phone the way it is?
Thanks everyone!
-Todd

Did you ever find an answer?

No, unfortunately I haven't. Please let me know if you do.

You can only root a VS986 after downgrading it to Marshmallow/13B.

"vs986 UsU"

I tried to root stock mm with Update-superSU.zip and twrp but no luck. you can flash the stock noget rom but I suggest deleting the modem.bin file in the zip file because you will boot loop. But if you do this you won't be able to make calls but you can use data this is still a work in progress

Here is the current active steadfasterX LG G4 UsU Unlocking thread for anyone interested in following it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/unlock-unlock-lg-g4-device-usu-t3760451
I don't think I've seen any reports of VS986s working 100% after UsU unlock, so if you rely on your VS986 exclusively, you might want to do some research first.

i got stock MM rooted with magisk!!!!

Everything works including mobile calls, mobile data, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, video player/YouTube, etc I suppose since it's the stock VS986 Marshmallow?

By "Unlock" you mean (network) carrier branded phones correct?
So you MUST downgrade from 2BA to 13B to root? Via the LGUP / flashing a .kdz correct? The 1an stock firmware is compatable 100% the way it is? And then you root from there?
What is this magisk?

If you follow the instructions and you got TWRP and fast boot all you have to do is flash this patch boot imge with TWRP or fast boot
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GH00BeWsEtKE2Ea34dXLmeMUC4Ts8XEI/view?usp=drivesdk
Then go to the play store and download the magisk manager

In theory yes for phh but this requires to rework FIsH.
Magisk requires changes in boot partition so 100% no.
Consider to unlock instead
