ok, so im not a total newb when it comes to rooting but here is my question(s).
recently got the jellybean update on my t-mobile l9 and was wondering the simplest way to root it?
do i have to unlock the boot loader to root it??
all i really want to do is be able to remove some of the t-mobile bloatware.
please and thank you to all who help.
also ive briefly glanced at Lelus root/offline flashing method, is all that work needed to simply root the device??
if so, could someone link me to the EXACT files i would need, not the "look in this thread for your version"
(if i break the wifes phone, or lose here saved games, she will kick my butt lol)
my device is the following
tmobile
lg l9
p76920d
android version 4.1.2
I second this motion! And no one mentioned is the lelus root method will work with V20D

Lol, yes all of that is needed to root the device and as of right now, you have to have root before upgrading to jelly bean. So if you really wanted to root her device. you would have to flash 10g (ice cream) for her device (p769).
If all you want is to disable some bloatware trying going to apps in system setting and see if you can disable it.

You would need to downgrade to V10G using the Lelus method (which isnt hard at all just follow the directions carefully) and then root the phone. After that you could update to a rooted version of V20D ad then you would be set.Everything you need is in the Development forum.
i agree with grey use the V10G Method then use the CWM BackUp with radio flash through CWM Recovery by artas182x always remember to make a backup of data from your backup app and as well backup your sd card to the computer and please give thanks to the devs they have helped us alot in this development section and they deserve the credit if i have helped you can always give me thanks but the real credit goes to the devs and people that help our glorious community

I'm on p769 10g rooted and everything works. No CWM installed. Don't want to brick or damage it. Suddenly started getting system update messages but can't update because i need root. Is this the link for me to follow if i want to upgrade and root JB Root?

Just install voodoo OTA rootkeeper and open and press protect root. After that you can safely take OTA. Also if OTA fails you're not bricked, pull battery and it will boot back into ICS. The reason we can't directly root 20D is because we don't yet have the KDZ file from LG.

Then you have 2 options to go from here (or 3? I guess). Either use the offline flasher to flash 10g again(use the lelus root method so you don't lose root.) this should make everything default and OTA should go thru. Afterwards don't forget to do voodoo again. Or install CWM and update with one of the clean rooted backups available. @artas182x CWM for locked bootloader works great. I know you said you don't wanna mess around with CWM but there is very little risk involved, just be sure to backup your current rom first. If you backup all your apps and app data in titanium beforehand you can restore them back to the clean JB after all is said and done. I'd personally go the CWM route as it is much faster.

i'm on 10g rooted with voodoo now. Flash 10g again?
CWM i didn't install because wasn't sure if 100% working or still buggy for p769. CWM is a better option. Backup is not critical. I had trouble restoring with titanium before so i don't mind reinstalling apps. Updating to JB is not critical either unless it brings some improvement in speed/ram management. Update notification was incessantly bugging me every 5 minutes that's why i wanted to get rid of it but its no longer a problem. Disappeared. Will i be able to CWM a rooted/unlocked bl JB for p769 eventually or should i do the rooted JB now and wait until bl can be unlocked in the future? Or, possibly new rooted unlocked bl roms in the future?

I woke up this morning with an OTA update on my P769 USA version. I have not ever rooted my phone yet and have been waiting it out for some roms to come out and clockwork mod. My phone has the 10e firmware that can be hacked to unlock the boot loader. My problem is my phone downloaded a new OTA update, 10g. If I reboot my phone its going to install the update and I'll be screwed out of being able to root the phone when I want to (locked boot loader). How do I keep this update from trying to apply itself on reboot? I don't have root access. Can it be rooted w/o having to reboot to thwart this update? Can I delete the update file? I'm really trying to avoid having to reboot the phone now. (The system update apply/reboot pop up is driving me nuts!) I never agreed for this update to download! WTF?!

The update will not automatically install when you reboot. Root your device using the many instructions in this sub-forum. Use the search.
No it won't but u can root ur phone. All L9 models can be rooted
Or you can just update himself(optimus L9) and flash it back to the rootable roms using KDZ offline flash
Or start phone in CWM mode, take nandroid backup and reflash V10E, root it and restore V10G nandroid backup.
Dont know if this work perfectly or not, but just suggesting.
PS: I just wonder what Update it would be after V10G? Is it JB for P769?
Or you can let two month old topics stay dead.

I want to go buy the S4 and I will definitely root it (following the posted instructions on here) but before i do, will i be able to instal OTA updates after and if not, is there another way id be able to install updates? I used Voodoo rootkeeper on my tablet after rooting and the 1st ota went fine and kept root, the 2nd ota killed the root even while using Voodoo...

Just wait for a rooted stock ROM based on the OTA to be made by a dev. You never NEED to take an OTA.
Thanks but im not sure what you mean. I have no interest in loading custom roms nor over-screwing around with the phone. Do you mean wait for another root process or wait for a download for an ota update?
Thanks again
Im guessing you mean a rom will be released again after the ota is out with the ota integrated in it... That process makes me kind of nervous as i need my phone for work as well as personal and cant risk screwing up the phone or erasing data eta...
There is pretty much always someone that releases the stock ROM flashable in a custom recovery so you can have a rooted stock ROM. Look at the dev beanstownm106 ROM in the development section. It is basically the stock ROM rooted with some very minor tweaks, but flashable with a custom recovery like TWRP.
BUT...there is almost never anything you can't do with basically any ROM that you can do with the stock ROM. So you really don't need the stock ROM...some people just prefer it. For my old Thunderbolt, it was pretty well known that for a long time there was a custom ROM, very similar to the stock ROM, that was more stable than stock (SkyRaider Zeus).
Another BUT: if you need Good for work, prepare for a constant fight with root detection. And you will want to back up your data often. I have a BB for work that I leave untouched (its not mine).
One more thing...the Loki workaround has its advantages...the bootloader is still locked and untouched, so it would be pretty hard to brick the device because you can get back into download mode and use odin to flash back to factory.
Whats the loki workaround? Also, im dont want to be doing any kind of flashing... I just simply want to root the s4 (which i now have) and be able to run ota updates or if not, download the ota and install the update manually. And if i get an ota, if it will kill root, even if i run voodoo.
Please, if someone could, let us all know if ota wont run or will kill root on say the s3 or s4 and if downloadable updates are another option... without flashing anything or going to crazy.
Thanks again in advance.
Hello,
I have an LG Optimus L9 and I'm on Ice Cream Sandwich right now, the stock firmware that was there when I bought the phone. Now what I want to do, is backup the current ROM in its full state, then upgrade to Jelly Bean via the OTA updater from LG.
Then I want to return to my previously backed up ROM whenever I'll want to, and get the same state of ICS that I had before upgrading.
Is it even possible? I don't mind if I have to root it.
Thanks in advance.
Everything you mentioned is possible, but there's still trade-offs:
1) if you want EVERYTHING to be the same as now (ICS), including radio, u-boot, and x-boot, then you can always using fastboot to flash the u-boot, and x-boot, and then using offline flashing KDZ to restore STOCK ICS (with root) and then use ClockworkMod ROM Manager to Recovery your current backup;
2) I personally don't see the need for you to have radio, u-boot, and x-boot to come back to it's current state: JB radio, u/x-boot works fine with ICS ROM. So the simple thing to do for you is:
a) ROOT your current ICS
b) install ClockworkMod ROM Manager
c) backup (using CWM)
d) update to JB (keep root and CWM)
e) restore the backup from step c whenever you prefer

Yeah, I guess if keeping it in the same state is too complicated, restoring to the factory ICS would be fine too.
I'm still wondering though, if I do your process mentioned at step 2 above, will I get my bootloader unlocked? I'm a newbie in that kind of stuff, but I've seen articles mentioning something, that you can only unlock the bootloader when being on Jelly Bean.
Thanks again.
Voodoo rootkeeper is needed for you to retain root via ota. Or you can riot again if it's no problem.

It's possible but rooting L9 ICS is not an easy one-click process. If you want to try, take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173465.
For what you want to do you should
1. Try to offline flash your current stock rom first. This make sure that you familair with offline flash and you can flash stock rom back if rooting process go wrong. Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344
This process don't delete your data if you do it right.
2. Get modified .bin file for your rom if any. If there're no modified .bin for your rom, you must make one. It require editing binary file with hex editor. There're some thread about this somewhere in the forum.
3. Root your phone with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173465. Almost same process as offline flash but you need to add some stuff to your phone and replace some files while flashing kdz.

No you won't get your bootloader unlocked. It is true that only official P760 JB supports bootloader-unlocking, but that is an option, not a necessity (which you can deal later if you want to).
Also artit is right that ROOT ICS is not one-click process. I followed cmahendra's excellent tutorial and get things done on first try, but things differ for different person.
Root for JB
If you don't want to do the complicated root method for ICS then just wait until you upgrade to jelly bean and then go here. ICS was a bit difficult to root but once you do it then you can get it done with your eyes closed. Cmahendra has a great tutorial along with Lelus method it's great! Good luck!!

Yeah, I guess it's not that hard, I'll try to do it. It's similar to the method for flashing an LG KM900 which I had before (non Android). I'll try it and report here.
I hope I can find a KDZ matching by current firmware, though.

Okay, so I managed to root ICS and install the recovery then backup my firmware.
Although when I installed the Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and made a temporary unroot, I immediately went to the Software Update option on my phone. It downloaded the update and rebooted. Then soon after a while I got an error "Err:0x13e", then it rebooted back into Android and said something like "unexpected error occured while upgrading" (not precise message).
I'm stuck at this point. What should I do now? Has anyone experienced this before?
Thanks.
So are you saying your phone is dead or what? Did it reboot and die? More details please. And you weren't suppose to make a temp unroot, you were suppose to protect root.

No, it's not dead. It throws an error "Err:0x13e" during the "Upgrading Firmware" stage, then it fails and reboots back to Android.
I tried everything in Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, it still didn't work.

The reason i't snot working is because of the custom recovery. you have to delete cwm so that the upgrade can boot to original recovery and upgrade your phone. Be sure to get into Voodoo and protect root. That will be important after you upgrade.
After the upgrade go into google play and install Voodoo then recover root.

Thanks, I see now. Though I decided to flash a Jelly Bean KDZ instead, then do a factory restore. Both my root and CWM were gone, so I rooted again using the LGPwn method, which worked just fine. Afterwards, I installed the same recovery I had on ICS, and now everything is working fine. :laugh:
I guess I don't have any more questions regarding my topic.

You can just root the stock ROM and from there install something like titanium backup (free) to remove the AT&T bloatware.
Unlocking the bootloader afterwards using FreeGee is optional. But I've come across a thread saying that if you root but don't unlock the bootloader and try to do a factory reset, it'll become softbricked until you use Teenybin to restore, so caution there before doing factory reset. Otherwise, root works just fine.
I rooted + unlocked my device yesterday after receiving it in the mail. I was on 4.1.2 JellyBean and FreeGee gave me a ton of warnings but I took a gamble and it paid off. Got bootloader and security check disabled and Sk8's CWM installed.
EDIT: Go to step #4 of the link to see which apps can be safely removed.
I froze all the bloatware (at&t and LG Bloatware.) I rooted and use FreeGee to unlock the bootloader. No security error. I did get a security error the first time though because i didn't use the bootloader and didn't know this could happen (the first day i got the phone.) It's really easy to unbrick it though. Just put it in download mode and use LGNPST.

It doesn't take a factory reset to get security error, a reboot or powering phone off then on will cause it.
Hi Everyone,
I've seen this question posted randomly in threads for other topics but didn't see a thread for the question itself so thought Id put it out there because
1. I'm curious to the answer myself.
2. Having this thread might back the search for others with the same question slightly less time consuming and a whole lot easier.
That being said, does anyone out there know of any custom roms for, or ones that will work on, the LG VS810PP (Transpyre)?? Also, since (as far as I can tell) the Transpyre and the LG Tribute are essentially the same phone, could one use a custom rom for the Tribute on the Transpyre? Surely, I wont be stuck with staying on stock! I MUST MOD!!! :cyclops: :fingers-crossed:
Any and all help IS GREATLY and WHOLEHEARTEDLY appreciated! Thanks soooo much in advance.

I have this device as well and would love to get off the stock Rom an instal CM or other, hate the bloatware an Rom over all seems sluggish. I am sure there is someone with the knowledge out there that has this device an can help!!!!! Calling all Transpyre Modders! Its time to Rom Out!
Root, but no rom
Im a Transpyre user and was able to succesfully root but have yet to find any custom roms. in the meantime i have removed lots of bloatware and things are running a lil better and my battery is lasting a bit longer.

A backup of the stock recovery? If so I'd love one of those right now, can't install 5.1.1 OTA without it (and I don't think I can install 5.1.1 with TWRP without someone making a custom flashable ROM?).
Does anyone have a list of the bloatware I can safely disable or uninstall? A short description of it would also be nice if possible to see if it's something I need or not. I am rooted and also have the transpyre. Not a bad phone for the price.
Same here I've been scouring the net looking for a custom Rom for the transpyre but cannot seem to find anything for it, makes me wonder why this phone is not so cared for as If it were a contract phone
I know what you mean, I understand wasn't a very popular phone but I know you and I ain't the only ones that have it. Just have to be patient I guess and wait for someone that has worked on it to help is.

I was able to root using Kingroot 4.5 and replace it with SuperSU using the "Super-Sume Pro 9.2.1 apk" All newer versions of the Super-Sume Pro .apk hung up during the first phase of its operation and all of the free versions of Super-Sume I had tried (the most recent) caused my phone to hang at the Verizon screen during reboot.
I found a YouTube video:
"How to Install CyanogenMOD 12 on the LG F60 and LG Tribute"
Which claimed the procedure was the same for the Transpyre (vs810pp) and included links to another video:
"How To Install TWRP Recovery on the LG F60, LG Tribute and LG Transpyre"
As well as a download link for "twrp-2.8.6.0-e2nav.img" which is supposed to be correct for the Transpyre (vs810pp) phone.
However after I installed "twrp-2.8.6.0-e2nav.img" I received an error during reboot: "Secure booting Error! Error Code : 1003" Afterword my phone would not do a factory reset, and only displayed that error message on every attempt..
I had since installed:
csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW07S65232BYAJX41F92ORK/VS810PU4_08_ARB01.kdz
(The factory 5.1.1 ROM which I found here in another thread) restoring the factory recovery ROM using the guide: "How to flash firmware to LG smart phone with LG Flash Tool 2014" I was able to repair the boot error.
How are you guys getting TWRP to work well? Would one of you be kind enough to point me in the direction of the the TWRP file that is successfully being used?
Would any of you guys currently running TWRP be able to provide your bootloader and dependency files?
If so would you kindly make them available over at :
xda-developers - Android Development and Hacking - Miscellaneous Android Development - [RECOVERY][e2nam] TWRP 2.8.5.0 touch recovery LG MS395
It appears that there may be another, far more advanced enthusiast (I believe the author of the "twrp-2.8.6.0-e2nav.img" I mentioned earlier) posting over there who could potentially be able to put together something useful for those of us running the Lollipop 5.1.1 factory ROM.
does anyone have a stock rom? Im seriously screwed here without one
