My V410 received an OTA to 5.0.2 about 2 weeks ago. Tried to root several times since, all without success. Towelroot, Purpledrake, LG One Click Root (v1.3), LG Root Script (v1.2) and LG Root all fail. I even tried SuperOneClick, without success. I have never had this much difficulty rooting any Android device!
Am I missing something? Maybe I skipped a step? Windows 7 Pro 64-bit desktop PC, with ADB installed and working, so my OS isn't blocking me.
Android version: 5.0.2
Kernal version: 3.4.0+
Build number: LRX22G
Software version: V41020b
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I am all ears!

I'm having the exact same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is my exact issue too. I rooted my v410 and then it decided to update to 5.0.2 and now it's unrooted and not vulnerable. After hours each night of searching and searching is the short answer it's stuck where it's at? Every fix requires a rooted device and once on lollipop it won't root...
Edit: Also, hi everyone. This is my first post to this forum as a new member in attempts to customize my first android device.
LG gpad 7 v410 v20b:
I'm having the same issue.
For me, Purpledrake quits unexpectedly right after the tablet has rebooted once. Then the tablet reboots again.
Anyone know why?
Purpledrake ran on a Mac does the same but the term window stays up and it reads something to the tune of the phone not being vulnerable and basically putting everything back the way it found it.

Same problem here! Tried everything! Has anyone came up with a solution?
Any Solution guys?
Make sure both of these are set correctly. I struggled for a couple of days while trying root my v410, then realized it was #2 the whole time that was stopping my progress......

Purple Drake works for stock Kit Kat not for stock lollipop.
I stupidly tried to update mine to lollipop and now I appear not to be rooted and purple drake fails. I think the twrp recovery I had installed before is blocking it cause it fails when twrp logo appears at reboot (instead of AT&T logo). Is there another way to root an LG G-pad 7.0 v410 or find what's blocking purple drake?
EDIT: Actually it is ok now, rooted. Is there a way to install the new system update on a rooted tablet?

Correct, guess I should have reiterated that as well, as I assumed we all are experienced.

I'm not man. Honestly my entire ecosystem is Mac and iOS. I changed up my plan at AT$T and they were like:
"It comes with a tablet."
"I don't need a tablet."
"But it's free with the plan."
"Yeah but I don't need a tablet."
"But... it comes... ... with the plan..."
"Okay, give me the damn tablet."
"Great! We're out at the moment so we'll have to send it to you in the mail and sign here acknowledging you're aware that it has a new separate line for $10 a month."
Eventually I started using it and thought it would be good for when I'm out on the road on bidness and wanted to unlock all the supernatural phenomenal marvels that is Android. Nah man, AT$T's got this thing on lock down. I would upgrade to a different tab but dollars.

This not work with Lollipop only KK
No luck. My tablet will not root. I tried Purpledrake regular and lite. I used a new USB cable, I plugged it directly into the motherboard, and I ran both progs many times. I have de-bugging and MTP enabled. I have ADB installed, and I crossed my fingers. Purpledrake just quits unexpectedly. I hope someone figures out how to root this tablet. I'd put up some cash for a working root. Anyone else?
Stupid google. Whatever happened to "Don't Be Evil"?
Purple Drake doesn't necessarily quit unexpectedly, the window just closes before you get a chance to read the message. It basically says that the phone is not vulnerable and it can't continue and has replaced everything it changed and then closes and vanishes into the dark.
Has anyone tried rolling back the Android update?
I mean: restore to factory settings, turn off OTA and then root?

It's not Google's fault. AT$T requested that the bootloader be locked by LG and it's not advantageous for Google in any way to intentionally introduce bugs in the kernel that will allow for privilege escalation.
The reason that PurpleDrake is quitting is because it is executing the root script and not waiting for it to finish. Basically it is not checking for errors and just assuming that it worked. If you run the root script by hand (which is what PD does for you) then the script fails to escalate privileges and a root shell is not attained. PurpleDrake is only a wrapper for the root script.

Restoring to factory settings will only wipe the /data partition; it has no effect on the /system partition. I've been scouring the web for weeks and have not found a workable solution. There's a good chance that if you were somehow able to roll back to a KK image then the bootloader would fail to load the kernel.
When I get some time, I plan to try to try dumping the system image, manually injecting root goodies, and finding some way to flash that image back. It may or may not brick the device.
Has anyone tried any of these methods? http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197

Yes I tried and no works
So if we want root, we roll back to KK?

Try KingRoot it work on 5.1.1
I have the K430DSf with Android 6.0, and the guys just say "try kingroot" like I was just a newbie. I tried every method I saw, Framaroot, Kingroot, Kingo Root, One Click, Towelroot, and all got the same result. It's time for dev's to work on something useful instead of saying "try kingroot", if we didn't try, we wouldn't even be here.
I've K430TR and it's MTK chipset. I'll start to work on it in 2-3 weeks. I hope, we'll have CyanogenMod 13.
Hi, is there something new? I just ordered this phone and I wonder if I will be even able to root it It is really not possible? What about VROOT? It worked on my older phone.
I have the Metro version of this phone the K428 and need to root this thing. Problem is that there is no support to be found on the android forums site or here. If anyone knows where to go for help please post a reply.
What about this tool? http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
Can anybody test it? It could be a workaround for deleting some bloatware without root.
also the usb otg not works.
waste off my mony
get 20 ero phone and you get one month batery life.
Hi everyone i have a problem regarding the root of my android phone. Indeed it's a J2 prime smg532g model and i couldn't root it after having used nearly all the roots app without using computer. I followed methods for rooting my model but it didn't worked. If you guys know any rooting method for this android model without computer let me know . Also, i am gonna buy a new android phone in case i can't root my actual phone, I wanted to know who are the best phone models for rooting successfuly (using one click root apps like kingroot, kingoroot, iroot etc...) thanks for your help
Hi guys,
I hope somebody can help me rooting my smartphone. Right now it's running with the stock Android 6.0, but I would like to install the lineageos 15.1. The problem is, I do not manage to root it!
I tried with no success the:
- purpledrake script (PurpleDrake-Lite_R03.tar.gz) (by the way, my desktop PC is running with a linux ubuntu 18.04 OS and I have a virtualbox environment as guest with WIN7 32 bit).
- towelroot apk
- LG one click root 1.3.0.0
If it's not possible to root the 6.0 Android version, can maybe anybody guide me through a solution for installing a free ROM such as lineageOS? Please go easy with the explanations, I am not very android skilled already read about "first downgrade", but if this is the only possibility I don't really understand how to do it without ending up with a brick.
Thanks in advance for any guideline
Kingroot worked for me initially, and also Towelroot at a later time (which I see you've tried), only thing is it took several attempts (10+) before either app could finally obtain root ......maybe just keep trying with either of those
