[Q] Unable to root Sprint G2

I restored a TOT file using lgflashtool to go back to stock ZVE (previously rooted with TWRP), then ADB sideloaded to ZVG. Everything is working fine, but I can't root. I have tried the LG One Click Root (both 1.2 and 1.3) and one from highonandroid but it didn't work either. I have followed the directions exactly, enabling USB debugging and I run as admin. I am succesfully able to get the phone into download mode as well, so that is not a problem. Any ideas? I have searched this forum and didn't see anybody having problems with it so sorry if this is repeated information.

try the script method?
Hey I too have been struggling with the root via one click .. I would be good until the script would be waiting for device and download mode. I eventually uninstalled all the lg drivers and root programs I had installed. Then rebooted computer, reinstalled lg driver and ran the lg root script version 1.2, run the program and be patient. it may take up to five minutes then it will tell you to put the phone in down load mode and reconnect. It recognized the phone immediately and then I waited and waited and waited, then finally the su script completed and then the prompt was to press control+C and then N and reboot. maybe it will work for you but this is where im getting stuck.. good luck if any of this helps.

The graphic interface version worked for me. In download mode make sure it finds it on the correct Port.
If not change it in device settings.
Mine would progress to 90%and stick. After 5 minutes I disconnect, reboot phone and root was there.

Do you know what port the gui looks for the device on by default? Maybe i can assign the port befor executing the gui script.

Did you try stump root? That one worked for me on ZVE.

i
I was able to gain root by one click it would detect my phone try to reboot it in download mode but It wouldn't go into download mode if it makes it that far let it sit there rebooted and ui on computer will ask u to put it in dl mode manually. As for the port I used 41 as if I was doing a tot. Restore I can go into more detail if this is the same issue u r having

Yup. Stump dosent work on zvg. I've installed it despite what I've read and tried it. It tells me. Out says I'm already rooted, but super user tells me I'm not rooted.

Maybe you should try this method. Restore to ZVE and rootz it with Lg one click v1.2. Once you confirmed it's rooted, then adb sideload on stock recovery to upgrade to ZVG. When you upgraded to zvg, try the Lg one click root v1.2 again Usually, that Lg One click root v1.2 will stuck on and take awhile, but it did it's job. Also to change the port number after used the LgFlashtool. Alot time, the port 41 don't work with Lg one click root.

Port 41works for mine

3.ls980zv7.zip / ls980.dll
PART 2:then you will need some files on your device these for part 2 which is the unlocking process(dont transfer these file to the device until you are done with the flashing with the lg tool.because that will reset the device and then you have to transfer them again)
1.Autorec.apk
2.towelroot-offline.apk
3.LG2 Rom
PART 1 :first install the drivers then extract the tot from the ls980zva.zip then install the flash tool then take the megalock.dll and put it in the program file folder for the lg flash tool then launch the lg g tool in the place where is says select dll click the 3 dots ... then select the ls980.dll and in the place where it says s/w click add the file that you have extracted ls980zv7.tot then click board dl then click OK , after that click the yellow arrow then wait for the loading to finish.

and it will ask you to choose between TM,ATT,lg original.
it dose not matter which one you choose all will work but its better because if you select TM all the TM apps will install and if you select ATT all ATT apps will install if you select original then none of the extra features of ATT or TM will install.
now after you are done just click finish and the phone should reboot.

is there particular selection necessary during the installation process in twrp?

Please wait you will need to flash the tot again but the one I had was the wrong version please wait for a very soon update

Great Thanks to your instruction. It finally works.
This is the best, reliable instruction for the current sprint LG LG phone. Not too much work need to be done.

which android version? lollipop?

does that imply that phone will stay on zv7? Will it be possible to update firmware to lollipop?

It's is 4.2.2 and no you can not upgrade because if you do you will lose the unlock .
Guys just stick with it at least you are able to unlock your phone

main archive is corrupted

Getting a "Failed" error
Whenever I load the .tot and .dll file and run the check using the LG Flash Tool I receive the following error: Failed Previous Load()

It is still working? Anyone from outside US tryed this?
What about mobile data?

Haha yes. Made it work on US T-Mobile. Thanks!

My LS980 is currently on ZVG. Would this method work for sim unlocking? Also, once unlocked, it's possible to flash other ROMs? Thanks!

The download links are already expired.

[solved] D855 Softbrick - need help - DL mode working but no succesful flash

Hey guys, I need your help!
I tried to make my long story short, but that didn't work, so here's my complete story:
When everything was fine, I had CM13 running with TWRP 2.8.5.0.
My first intention was to restore a Stock 4.4 Backup and update it to 5.x. After restoring it didn't boot, so I did a factory reset and it worked.
Next I wanted to update to 5.0 via OTA, but that ofc couldn't work because of TWRP.
I knew the only way to update to 5.x was to flash a .kdz an lose all data. I didn't want to do that, so instead I tried to flash the official 30B image from here.
I followed the instructions given in the first post (updated TWRP to 2.8.7.0 too), but after flashing the files and hitting the "reboot system" button in TWRP it booted into TWRP again. I tried flashing again because maybe something went wrong. I even downloaded all the files again to make sure I didn't have a bad download, but no luck. So I restored the previous CM13 6.0.1 rom. At first it didn't succeed because my internal memory was full, but after deleting the 30B files it restored just fine. So when it was ready I hit the reboot button aaaannd it booted into TWRP AGAIN...
I searched the internet and found a "LG_G3_Flash2FixStuckRecovery.zip" file, but that didn't help either. (I connected my G3 to my pc using MTP in TWRP to backup all important data, so I don't care if I need to wipe everything.)
Now I knew something went badly wrong and tried using the LG flashtool 2014 for .kdz and another one for .tot files to recover my G3.
Still no luck. When using the 2014 tool and the official 30B kdz it runs till 100% at my phone (at the same time it reaches 80% on my pc at the LG mobile support tool). But then it's only showing the LG logo for some seconds, screen black, lg logo, black, ... an infinite loop.
When using the .tot method I can't get past the "Model Information Check FAIL!" message. It looks like I lost my IMEI because it shows "IMEI: NULL". I got an EFS Backup in a zip file though, so it's not completely lost. I tried both methods on 2 different pc's with win 8.1 and 7 (and win10 for some things), but I always get the same results.
When turning it on using the power button, I see the LG logo followed by a black screen and again the LG logo.
When connecting it to the charger I at first see a charging screen, not the charging animation, but the "loading" battery screen you get before the animation. But after it I get stuck in the above mentioned LG logo.
It's possible to get to the factory reset screen, but I get to the LG logo again after "performing" a factory reset. Note: On the factory reset screen, there is a blue "part" on the top of the screen which looks different compared to when using CM13 and Stock 4.4. The blue color is darker, so I guess, I partly got 30B installed.
I didn't plan to write that much, but I think it's better because I described almost everything I did.
I have no idea what to do now, I tried everything I know and could find on the internet.
So I just hope someone is able to help me getting my G3 working again.
Many thanks!
tl;dr: Only download mode left, but can't succesfully flash any stock rom.

Now... what do u want.... ????
Downgrade from mm to lollipop.... right????
... I can help you... by teamview. Ok

You mean it's dead, completely? I thought having a download mode and seeing my G3 on my pc with a COM# port is better than seeing some QHBULK_9008 device or similar, where I need to open my G3, connect pins and some sh*t to recover it.

OK.... Now, you flash TOT again with TOT file.... but dont change file DLL you have....
Download... file DLL fix...
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0VrTZddvLF7b3Q1b1BlQ2w0clE/view?usp=sharing

Also don't forget: Maybe its because of your OS or even Setup (Hardware/Driver related). Even if it works seemingly at first glance.
That's my experience with all flashing tools that on some machines and setups there will happen some funny stuff and corrupt systems even if its reported to be working initially.
So if you didn't try yet use another PC/Laptop preferably with Windows 7 to 8.0 (only if you disabled driver signatures)
Edit: Also try different USB-Cables.

I already tried 2 PCs, one with 8.1 and another one with 7 (and 10). Both are giving almost the same result. Except the .kdz flash tool crashes on 8.1 at 99%.

Thats why i opened hidden menu by using *#546368#*855# test my phone if there is a hardware problem or not. i clicked first option then second option my phone got reset but i got Secure booting error after that and it stuck. Then i opened twrp by using factory data reset option. i got backup of my data from twrp menu.

- i dont know if can can install apk since i cant open android system
- i dont want to install stock rom by a pc because i think i will lose all info on phone and ont be able to get them back without twrp.

It would be better not to flash those kdz files.
You could have asked here before proceeding,but it doesn't matter now.
For the topic that you sent,I'm not sure that it will work.
So,can enter in Download mode (Click on it to see how to enter)
If you can,please reply.

I think you need to root it first. Do a search for "CF auto-root" and find the correct one for your model number. You'll need to use Odin rather than ADB to flash the CF Auto-Root file. Once it is rooted, you can flash TWRP with Odin also. There are plenty of tutorials on the web and here at XDA on how to do this. Once TWRP is installed, you can use it to flash the ROM you want (I would suggest LineageOS 14.1).
Link below is a tutorial on rooting.

Did you enable USB debugging in the developer options settings on the Tab S? If you did not, that's your problem. If you did, check that the PC detects your device before you start Odin. If it does, unplug the device, start Odin, and plug it back in. If it still doesn't detect it, try re-installing the drivers.
