[Q] Rooting LG Optimus L3 E405 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA :good:
Is anyone successfuly rooted their LG Optimus L3 E405?
I need help how to root it, Ive tried the E400 rooting guide but I always failed...
Tried almost all of the ways seen on google searches but none of them work.
If any here can help me root this device is really really appreciated..
Thank you and hoping for a reply to our Android Rooting Gurus
by the way, my LG device is;
LG Optimus L3 E405
Gingerbread 2.3.6 (Updated August 31, 2012)

Hi all,
I have a LG L3-E405 DUAL too and the same question and also tried almost everything i could find about rooting E400 and E405.
I've tried the Spectrum root method and superoneclick 2.3.3
Firmware: v10d-SEP-13-2012
Build: GRK39F
Kernel: 2.6.38.6-perf+
Android: 2.3.6
Output from Superoneclick and Spectrum root basically comes down to permission denied, phone reboots and no change at all.
I really would like to root it so i can move apps like maps en google plus to the internal memory of 1 GB to free up some space for more apps.
Any help on a method that works would be greatly appreciated

Sorry for this bump.. Just want to let others know if they missed reading this thread.
and yes, I really wanted to know if this is possible.. Thanks.

Any news on these matters? Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Yepey! Ive rooted my E405 now..
Using SuperOneClick v1.7 and use rageagainsthecage and click Root button..

psneuter will not work, neither do the other root options.
Be sure you have the LG L3-e405 usb drivers installed correctly otherwise it won\t work either. You can download them from the Lg website.
connect your phone and choose pc software on the dialog that opens on your phone.
You need Superoneclick 1.7 (temporary disable while downloading and using superoneclick your antivirus as well otherwise it will falsely say it's a trojan.)
Run the program (in winvista/win7 as administrator) set on the right the method to RAGEAGAINSTTHECAGE then press root.
Wait untill whole process is done en telling you it was succesful.
Shutdown your phone and start it again. Superuser should be there in applications menu.
Thanks go to Yethz who started this thread and found the solution !

For who want to use Link2SD on your L3-E405 you should pay attention to the following.
On the E-405 it will not work if you only create a ext2 and fat32 partition!
Use a partitionmanager to partition your SD card.
All partitions must be PRIMARY and not logical
1. First create a FAT (not fat32) partition and choose the smallest size possible
2 Then create a EXT2 partition of 1 GB (not bigger) for use with Link2SD
3 Create a FAT32 partition for the remaining space left on the SD card.
Download and install Link2D from google play store and start it.
It will ask you what kind of partition you want to use and choose EXT2
It will tell you to reboot, so shutdown your phone and turn it back on.
Now you can remove bloatware and system apps you dont want on your system storage.
And offcourse link the apps to your sd card to free up memory.
Following sytem apps you can safely remove from the E405:
Google+
Google Maps
Google Maps Streetview
Google Mail
Youtube
these you can all download from google play store and links then to sdcard

Installing CWM
How do we install CWM recovery on this phone ?? Rom Manger does not list this phone when flash clockwork mod recovery option is selected

The E-405 is not supported yet by rom manager or CWM. It's only available for the L3-E400.
As far is i know there are no fully working custom roms for the E405 yet so rom manager is kind of useless at the moment.
Only for the E400 i see a cyanogen mod nightly is being in development.
Also i have read a couple of warnings on other forums not to use cwm/rom manager on the L3 E-400 or E405 due to unwanted behaviour of
both apps like getting stuck in boot loop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27683328
maybe you can find some answers in this thread.

Hmm, thanks , Can we expect Cyanogen 9 for the LG L3 E405 ??

I have no idea. That depends on a developer who wants to pick that up.
just search xda from time to time to see. If there will be any custom rom you will find it on this forum.

Hey bro,
Id followed your tips about using Link2SD , thanks a lot.
I tried linking all my apps to SD Card now I have lots of free space on System Memory :good:
I was using Move to SD Card (App2SD Method) and I have lot of System Memory consumed but when Linking to SD Card got me more space.
Thank you again, and yes I already formatted my phone (hard reset) just to set things up properly.
Now, Can you recommend me some usefull apps?

So, any news on other users of E405? Does it go well on your handsets?
Also can you share your must have apps that perfectly run in it :good:

[ROOT]Samsung Galaxy S2 Wimax Root Guide

Kinda new at this but decided to give it a shot. There are many variants of the SG2 and recently in Japan, AU Kddi released a beast...
As reported by gsmarena.com-"The Galaxy S II ISW11SC has a 4.7-inch Super AMOLED HD display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, 1.4GHz dual-core Qualcomm QSC6085 processor, 8 megapixel rear camera with 1080p video recording, 2 megapixel front camera, 16GB internal memory, expandable memory, Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 and NFC."
But being released in Japan there isn't much support for rooting on this phone. Part of the problem is most of its support and forums are in Japanese. After post a thread question, user tora201 showed me the light. He came across a japanese website with a super simple root for this phone. I decided to post it for all of us to use it with some simple instructions. Thanks tora201 for the help. None of this work is mine and all credit goes to the respective creators.
ROOT SCH-ISW11SC Samsung Galaxy S2 Wimax:
1.) Head over to this blog page, http://blog.livedoor.jp/kz_gin/archives/cat_136988.html, and download the two .zip files towards the bottom. They have the labels change_recovery_ISW11SC.zip, and root_ISW11SC.zip...or just use the attachments below...lol
2.) Copy the .zip files to a sd card. tora201 suggested using just an extra one you may have around. Place the sd card in your phone.
3.) With your phone powered off hold Volume Up, Home Button, and the Power Button at the same time until the phone boots into recovery mode.
4.) Using the Volume buttons and the Home Button as a select button, choose the change_recovery.zip from the sd card. (Y'all should know how to navigate these types of menus well, will help those that don't)
5.) Reboot the phone. Now power off the phone again and repeat step 3. Your phone should boot in to Clockworkmod Recovery. The Recovery is now navigated via the touch screen not the keys or buttons!!
6.) Like before go, select install .zip from sd....find your sd card and select root_.zip..then reboot....you should now notice Super User in your App Drawer!!!
Download Root Checker Basic to verify root access. Reinstall your primary sd card and your good to go!!
The only trouble I ran into was when installing the root.zip, it would not detect my external sd card. Repeatedly said "No Files Found". So I restarted the phone, went into the File Explorer, tracked down the root.zip on my external sd card, copied it to my internal sd card. Reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery, tracked down the root.zip through the same steps above expect in my internal sd card. Worked with no charm. Im not a programmer or anything like that, so if you guys have any questions I'll try to answer them the best I can. Thanks and good luck...As always not responsible for any damage to your phone..Come on though, this one is too easy to screw up...lol

yeah but this is a question tread
Thanks for doing Cezeff. I suppose I should probably have posted something myself after I rooted my one. Anyway, glad it worked for you! Been busy as hell perparing for the new uni. semester here.
After rooting I installed 'app quarantine' that allows you to not run/hideany bloatware for the time being. You can keep unwanted stuff in quranteed list when updated as well. Only later when absolutely sure you are sure you don't need it, should you uninstall - or risk permanent instability or worse.
Cezeff, any other tips for this phone? As I mentioned before it would be good to be able to get SMS GO PRO working with the ezweb address. Any ideas how?

Hi, sorry but don't many threads contain questions? Sorry to be rude but what's the difference? Perhaps a lot has changed in the four years or so since I have posted....
If Cezeff buggered up the thread somehow, could you tell him how to turn it from a 'Question thread' into a 'Statement thread'?
yeah i got a few other tips but right now I'm bogged down with training...ill throw some up here later...im still trying to figure out how to get my NFC working...may have to go into AU and ask...
Cheers mate! Waiting for your tips. Hope training going well! Ah, I also can't get NFC going.....
well for one the battery on this phone is already great but Juice Defender is awesome...after 15 hours i had 84%..im pretty sure your aware of that one...it seems after poking around that the NFC is lost after rooting....i tried an NFC Enabler.zip posted by another member for a different variant and no luck...hmmmmm
Cheers. Will give it a try. By the way, you know those programmes that let you quarantine apps? All good until you try un-quarantining. My advice: don't qurantine stuff you think you might need later.
from what i can tell the phone has all the required libs and software expect for the Nfc.apk.....for some reason the one i got from the other thread will not install...i searched around on the web and most NFC cab able phones have the files...
libnfc_jni.so
libnfc_ndef.so
libnfc.so
libpn544_fw.so
Tag.apk + libs
Nfc.apk
the Tap.apk installs just fine...and the other 4 files are present in the system/lib but the Nfc.apk will not install...any ideas?

were you able to make a back up of your system before you formatted your system? are you able to boot into cwm recovery by holding the volume up buttom, home menu button and the power button? try to see if that works and if it doesnt i may have another solution for you...
Thank you for the guide! There are still no custom ROMs compatible with the SCH-ISW11SC (SCH-J001), correct?

Finally Got NFC going on my rooted ISW11SC. Don't know how, but seems to be the result of installing the latest update from AU (LG2) via KIES
Until now, all I got was an spinning wheel and error when trying to turn the function on in the settings. Anybody else have this going?
I just been getting the annoying message top update my phone.did it and kept root! So no harm done! Yeah

Hmm, everytime I tried to mount a pair, the phone reboots, then the mounting resumes but I got the message "Error: extSdCard permission - FM could not fix the external permission and ownership. This could lead to read/write issues for apps that try to access your mounted internal sdcard folders. Please try to remount all pairs after a while manually". Never used foldermount before, so IDK what's wrong here :silly:

thanks for trying, that seems to indicate foldermount is the problem, not necessarily my chinese root. haven't had luck getting su installed in its place, but it lets me change build.prop which is what i needed to get to .510. really wanting foldermount to work so i can install more than just 14 gb of games and movies.

Thats not good... I'm waiting for my Ultra to arrive. I use foldermount normally as well. Lets hope the dev can sort it out.
Why don't you just put the movies on the external though?
maybe you need to fix your file permission. i recall i done this , previously either FM didnt work or self reboot after mount and will stuck on boot loop

can confirm remountrebootfix app does work! First i installed the superuser app from the app store, did not delete the chinese su app though as it doesn't seem to be a problem (keeping it for now), rebooted to make sure i still had root with superuser instead. then ran the superuser.bat, deleted and reinstalled busybox (smart install). Can confirm foldermount works just fine now.

360root method works directly on 510.
vroot doesn't work on 510 (if applied directly).
I myself used vroot on 475 kernel that is flashed on a 510 FW, and reflash the 510 kernel after root. Now my 510 is rooted. Also changed the chinese root apps with superSU.. Plenty of step-by-step guide in other threads in the general section

Thank you for this. I went to the 360 root site(In Chinese but used google translate to english)(Pic 1)
It redirected me to the software download page (PIC 2)
Downloaded the software but since its in chinese im completely lost. (Pic 3) Would it at all be possible if you could share with me how to go forward?
The other 360one root I found ( http://shuaji.360.cn/root/ ) only works on Chinese OS.
Thanks in advance.

Just plug your phone into your PC with 360root application running and hit the big, green, ROOT button and there you go.. Your phone will restart automatically, that means the process is done and you can close the application on your PC.
Remember the 360root requires connection to chinese server and therefore depending on your connection you might have to set up proxy on your PC. More detailed guide for this, go here.
Also, disable your antivirus, especially those that come with firewalls.
If 360root somehow doesn't work, use the 475 kernel workaround to root your 510. Guide here.
Another easy way (and more reliable) is through recovery, guide in here. But this requires unlocking your bootloader.

[q] lg optimus f6 root help

Hello everybody,
I have the LG optimus F6 by Metro PCS. I DID root my device, but am trying to move my apps to my 8gb sd card. I need an app that will actually work. I have tried multiple apps and none are working for me. I need to move large apps such as Facebook and Utorrent to the SD because I am getting messages stating that my "internal memory is full." Additionally, I would like to create wi-fi hotspots but cannot find any apps that work. I DO get popups that say "GRANT SUPERUSER REQUEST" but the app ends up not working...Thanks for your help!

First off I would recommend running the RootChecker just to make sure your device is rooted properly. If it says your rooted great, if not double check that you rooted your device correctly. As far as moving your apps to the sdcard I would recommend taking a look at the app MoveToSD it has always worked well for me when I used my original Motorola Droid which has very limited internal storage. For an app that works well for creating a Wifi hotspot I would recommend taking a look at WiFi Tether for Root Users, as well as FoxFi (Try the free version first and if it works well for you the paid version is well worth the price from my own positive experiences with the app).
hotspot with metropcs
I also have a metropcs with a LG Optimus f6. Too get my hotspot to work I went into phone settings/apps/all. Then scroll down to upsell and disable it. My phone is not rooted and im paying for the $60.00 unlimeted plan. Remember wifi is disabled in your phone not on the network. I am still working on ps3 to tether also will update with progress. Let me know if you have anymore problems.

Root
Hi!
I rooted my LG Optimus f6 D505 with this package. (In the attachment) I think it must work for You too, but remember it can brick Your phone and I don't undertake any responsibility etc...etc...just follow the instructions.
When You unrar or unzip it. But before You do this right clock on the zip package and unblock it! Because Your windows will block it as it is downloaded from the internet. Then run the "install" file as administrator and follow the on screen instructions. Enable USB debugging on Your phone and set the connection type to MTP. I did it and it worked for me. I hope it will work for You, too.
And if You brick Your phone download the LG PC Suite program from the LG's official site and You can restore Your stock ROM with that.
Greetings
Can anyone confirm that ^this^ works? What have other people done?
Use towel root it will work for lg optimus f6. I used the version 1 and it worked successfully there are new updated to the app that i have not tested.

Is it possible to root LG Realm LS620?

Hi,
I am looking purchase LG Realm LS620 during blackfriday. Is it possible to root this phone? Please help me with links...
THANK YOU!
Yeah I Used Towel Root it worked just fine then make sure to install SuperSU & Busy Box also search some thing in the play store to fix the writing issue to the SD card after you get root heres a link to the apk for towel root https://towelroot.com/tr.apk :good::good::good:
Yeah towel root works fine, idk if theres any custom recover for it tho, been looking since i got it, ive tried using xposed framework, but its not the same as using cm roms
yeah i have yet to find a custom recovery or any development for that matter but im sure hopefully soon someone will do something with this thing.
Towelroot worked perfect! Thanks
Would just like a custom recovery, I as well have not found one.
I have bricked my LG ls620, any chance of asking someone to rip /system/app for me, or perhaps the entire stock firmware?
Writing issue to the SD Card after using Towel Root with LS620?
Thanks for the info. I should be getting an LS620 today. I would like to disable the activation wizard and I understand the way to do this is to:
1) root phone
2) install free version of titanium backup
3) uninstall LGSetupWizard 4.3.019
Regarding the rooting portion, you mention "search some thing in the play store to fix the writing issue to the SD card after you get root" . I am not sure what this means can you let me know what issues are related to writing to the SD card on this device after rooting with Towel root and what application and process is needed to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have a copy of your stock rom? Or and update zip i can install from the sd card to re write the entire system?
Yes
Towleroot works perfect!
Even unrooted on newer versions of Android you can't write to the external SD in less you root after that es3 will be able to but I'd you want other apps to you need to use
a app such as SDfix: Kitkat writable micro sd, which I used on my LG Realm, hope this helped

Yes, it is very possible

I think now I can Root. Because my phone now have another rom . I got this new rom from official Jio Care . I went there because I bricked my device when tried to flash a recovery found from the internet. I tried this flashing because the 'factory test mode' was gone after I tried to root with king root .it was showing a 'no command' error when I am trying to go to 'factory test mode' I did that flashing only to restore that. But it ended in a bricked device. So I had to go there and they helped me. I also asked them for stock rom but they didn't give me. I didn't check king root yet with this rom. The current rom i have is same as yours. Ls 4006.
But I don't clearly think which I had before. I guess that was Ls 4007.

Hello.. I tried again. But King Root still not working.
Can you give full details about your OS.
Since you have successfully rooted your device, you are now able to make a full ROM backup of your device. Can you make and upload your ROM and recovery backup here in XDA. ?
That will help many.

So have you uninstalled all those bloatwares from your phone .?
If you did so , you had any problems because of the so-called system app removal?.
I'm asking this because I used to disable all those useless system apps , but as a result this phone was restarting frequently without my knowledge. So I did suspect this app disabling and so I restored all these disableed apps. And then the problem solved. You had any issues like this,?
Now I heard about an bloatware removal tool and I wish to try that to get a rid of this bloatwares.
What you say?
Share me your experience.

Yes I have removed much bloatware applications. But first let me know which system apps you want to uninstall so that I can guide you for apps which can cause bootloop after uninstalling.But Don't worry
Removing Bloatware is a normal action for root user

I want remove
Google keyboard
Play newsstand
Play music
play movies
play books
Hangouts
Google Plus
Jio drive
Slides
Sheets
Docs
Google Chrome etc.
I'm a little worried because I don't have any stock rom backup so if something went wrong like something I mentioned in the above post , I have to go again the LYF Care . So you please just check whether all those apps mentioned above are removed or not.
If you still have any apps mentioned above just take it's backup apk using SD Maid and uninstall those apps. So that you can check whether any system instability arises due to the uninstallation.
Please check right now and tell me. I'm waiting for your reply.

No .There will be no issues. I will suggest you uninstalling through lucky patcher.I found it best for such operations. You may encounter 'unfortunately stopping pop-up messages of applications' .so don't worry just restart your device.I did the same

You would probably be doing so for freeing up some system space.I will suggest you to update app to system(apps like play store,play services and some other useful system apps keep the original system stock app even if you update the application). So you should integrate update to system which will remove the old system app by updated one so you will have much more free space and whenever you factory reset your device ,you will get the updated system apps installed.

I have downloaded those files you have uploaded. I have a few questions about it.
Did you ever tried to flash it to phones other than yours. ?
If you have done it, did you flash it using just fastboot or used any other special software?
You have also provided a twrp recovery. But that recovery doesn't have boot.img and system.img missing. That doesn't seems okay . Are you sure about it ? Please check it.
How did you root your device?
I been trying Kingroot for a while but it's not working for me.
My build number is LYF_LS_01_12
I am also planning to build a custom ROM based on the stock ROM because in the latest update, they made the icons look really ugly . Also it will be a practice for me learn custom ROMing.
But before I proceed, your suggestions would be helpful for me.
So please make some time to answer those questions above.
Once again thank you very much for your effort to upload those files with that slow connection.
Very thank full to you

Not flashable ????
I'm no developer yet but I thought you are. I was so happy when I see those files. It's sad when you says not flashable.
But okay , I am learning about flashing and custom ROMing and I will do my level best to help you guys.
I will be soon starting a new thread with full details about those files given by you. Let's see what Devs here talks about it. I really need to root and custom ROM it. Only problem is that I don't have any other phone for testing. I got only this one for all of my needs. I thought you already flashed it in your phone.
Anyway, thanks for your help and let's see what I can do.
Bye. See you .
