Need help here:
1. what's the success rate of rooting? I have read two threads here on L9 sub-forum and saw quite a few report of unsuccessful root
2. which CWM recovery works on p960/p965? someone mentioned Prada's, is it true that it's safe on L9?
3. is it true that p960/p965 doesn't have light sensor so there is no automatic brightness option?
thanks.

It depends on which version you have, which in turn depends on where you are. As for me, I managed to root my North American p769 without any issues what so ever.
@Lord Basil
1. If you got P760/765/768/769, you can root it by downgrade firmware to V10A/B/C. You cannot root if you got P768E/F or maybe P768? with cuurent stock firmware. But I can root my P768f by downgrade to P768 V10A (Not sure it's work for others variant).
2. For CWM. It's work with some limitation. So I don't install it just wait for more stable version.
3. No light sensor. This annoy me when I found it doesn't have one.

P769BK (T-Mobile U.S. version) has 10e and it is rootable. I rooted 6 of them so far. Each one took many tries, but eventually they were rooted.

Hi
I recently got my LG P500 which is my first Android phone.
I have to say it's really awesome! Though it took me a whole friggin day to get the custom restore set up, it was well worth it
I am currently running the Void Mod and the new Kernel by mik_os. Both work great!
Now there is only the software version. I have the 10a version and I heard that the 10c (I have it already on my PC) would solve the +001 bug.
My question is: If I update do I have to completely wipe my phone?
Cheers!
don't install the V10C update. it solves 1 bug but brings home many.
you should wipe your mobile. anyway everything will get deleted. so wipe as a precaution so nothing.
PS: also depends which country rom you talking about. cause different rom solves different problems & offers new ones.
I am talking about the european 10c
So just to clarify: When I install the 10c (or 10a for that matter) I will always delete my custom rom, kernel, loose root and will have to do it all again from scratch?
Is it expected that Gingerbread will come with a new software version or is that a LG problem?
V10C cannot be rooted. So don't install/upgrade to this version.
How come it cannot be rooted? I thought impossible is nothing?
So lets rephrase my question to 10a...
When I install the 10a I will always delete my custom rom, kernel, loose root and will have to do it all again from scratch?
Thx

You can be damn sure about that
I have an LG P769 software version 20f (OTA) build JZO54K that I would love to put Cyanogen on. I have it on my p509 and I love it. My understanding is that I need to unlock the bootloader, flash a proper recovery image and then flash over the Cyanogen Rom. I did my P509 so I'm not a complete noob at this, it's been working just fine for almost 2 years however I've searched every where and I have a few questions.
Is it possible to unlock a stock 20f P769? (purchased the phone a week ago, updated it yesterday and it's 20f now. No idea what it was before that but it was brand new from Tmobile)
If it is, how do I do and what do I need?
Is Cyanogen 10.1 the newest of the Cyanogen ROMs I can use?
If I do successfully unlock it I can follow the CM 10.1 guide to get the rom and all that on there really I'm stuck now at Unlocking it. I tried the method in the now locked thread (before realizing people had found out it doesn't work)
Thanks in advance for any help, like I said I've looked in dozens of threads and can't seem to find a clear answer on the matter.
Have you looked here?

If you already have CWM installed, then you're all set to install the custom ROM. Just make sure to run the Nandroid backup from CWM before the upgrade (better safe than sorry).

It means you have replaced the recovery to one that allows you to upgrade your ROM among other things (CWM that is).
Regarding custom ROMs - that's the big question: There are nearly no custom ROMs for this device, or rather to the L7 II series. If you browse the Android development section, you'll find some custom ROMs, but they are all based on the current 4.1.2 one. There's also an MIUI ROM for your device, about which you can read at the end of this thread. According to other threads here, LG has announced it would upgrade the L7 II series to KitKat somewhere round August (which should be any time now), so I guess the best thing to do would be to wait for it (as I do).

ooh thanx man , i was really confused about this , i hope they announce it soon
So I've had the G3 for a while but haven't played with it at all like I have with some of my old phones. I'm not currently rooted and have already taken the Verizon update to Lollipop VS98523C. Can I even root my phone in it's current state? If I can root, what root method would be the best one. I've seen a few different ones. If I did root are there even ROMs that would work for my phone. I'm most interested in putting CM on it. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've searched the forums quite a bit and haven't found this information. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Downgrading via kdz or tot, then rooting using the new method, then install latest version of TWRP for our phone, then flashing the rom from TWRP would be the easiest, most brick resistant method
Can you tell me which root method is the new one?
Don't need to downgrade at all anymore. The new root script is somewhere in the regular LG G3 sections (not Verizon specific) and there's now an app in the Play Store (there's a thread from only a day or more ago in these Verizon LG G3 sections about it) for installing TWRP on our phone that's supposed to work under Lollipop. I haven't tested it yet, myself, mind you.
For reference, the old root method is called Stump and didn't work with 12B or newer.

Hi,
I was just just reading the previous topic on rooting the v30, on the very last page it says that that posting is pretty old and it was suggested to start a new thread about rooting the v30. By chance has a new thread been started yet? I'd like to get my phone rooted, but I want to do so in a safe way. I'm currently running android 9.0, version H93130g, kernel 4.4.153.
Thanks

If you read that, then you also read to go to the updated version. It didn't say to start a new topic -- it says we already have newer thread.
Since May 2018 ALL V30/V30+/V30S can be bootloader unlocked and rooted. But people keep finding that older thread which only covers LG's official bootloader unlock, which covers only 3 variants and that thread has outdated TWRP and other older files.
Here's the Sticky you overlooked?
Read post #1. It's about bootloader unlock and root.
Post #2 is V30 custom ROMs FAQ.
ROOT YOUR V30!

ChazzMatt,
Sorry about that, since I've gotten older my thinking process doesn't work as good as it used to. Thanks for your help & patience, at this point in time I don't think that my mind is in good enough condition to perform the rooting of my phone. Just installing the TWRP backup itself seems rather difficult at least for me at this point.

OK. Yes, rooting has gotten harder and some people coming from even older phones than 2017 V30 series haven't run into that yet. There's no more 1-click root methods.
You should see what's needed to root the 2018 V35! More complex than V30.
But everyone who has rooted their LG V30/V30+/V30S has used this technique or something similar (LG's official bootloader unlock). The only exceptions are T-mobile H932 which has completely different, more tedious method using a Linux boot disc.
The difference between the thread you found (LG official method) and the "WTF Instructions" are we are using an early Oreo exploit which covers 99% of all the V30/V30+/V30S variants. All except for T-mobile H932, and that variant has its own root method documented. The WTF method is very similar to LG's official bootloader unlock -- but we use a fake bootloader unlock code and you have to (temporarily) flash to the specific firmware you need for the
1) bootloader unlock exploit and
2) fastboot flash commands.
(AT&T H931 and most other North American V30 variants don't have fastboot flash commands, so you have to temporarily convert to Open Market US998 V30/V30+/V30S firmware.)
Then once bootloader is unlocked, and TWRP installed and Magisk flashed -- plus a couple more files to disable LG's root checking, etc -- THEN you can update back to newer stock rooted firmware via TWRP-flashable zip (i.e. stock ROM) or move on to custom ROMs.
The thread you read only explains LG's official bootloader unlock method -- for which only 3 V30 variants out of like 36 are eligible. That thread also has very outdated TWRP. Back when it was written, only those 3 variants could be rooted, with permission from LG. Now we can root ALL V30 in the world and don't need LG's permission.
