Earlier today I tried to unlock my bootloader by going to 10G then 20B, but I could not make it work after numerous attempts. So, I offline flashed back up to 20F. Since my touchscreen is still reversed I am now trying to root and install CWM to flash the touchscreen fix. Unfortunately, root no longer works and I cannot install busybox nor CWM. Any help would be appreciated.

Use Lelus' method to root. You can use my edited bin file for V20F:

I had to flash the ROM again when that happened to me. For some reason math bin file didn't work for me. I tried several times and I chalked it up to user error. Ended up using the lgpwn method and it worked.

Did you disable Lookout? That happened to me, too. I disabled Lookout and it worked.

Hi Nathan. Are you saying you unlocked your bootloader with LGPwn, on a 769? Any links for that? Thanks in advance.

Oh no way, but that would be cool though. I'm testing Kuma's new method more. Still locked but still trying.

Hello.
I rooted my Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro yesterday and all went smoothly, working perfect. I installed a few different Custom ROM's just to try them out. Now i have the "2.1.1.Clean.0.0" ROM installed and i'm very satisfied with it. Only problem is, my phone isn't rooted anymore.
I tried re-rooting it with SuperOneClick, which i used to root in the first place. But it isn't working anymore. Then i tried installed z4root on my phone and tried Permanent Root, but it just keeps "working" a little bit, until the App closes.
What should i do?
I used this guide to root my phone yesterday: omni-medical.co.uk/articles.php?article_id=4
I would really like to re-root my phone if possible.
Bump.. Anyone?

He could either mean Xrecovery or ClockworkMod recovery (doesn't really matter in this case). All you need to do is to flash superuser (flashable zip attached) and you'll be on your way.

Thanks a lot. It seems to work!
Am I not doing something right because I can't get into CWM? I'm rooted of course and used Rom Manager to install CWM. While in RM I hit Reboot into Recovery but my system just reboots like normal.
Do I have to be unlocked for CWM to work? If not what is the trick I'm missing?
Sorry if this has been asked and answered but I couldn't find it.
Thanks,

I used vipermod. So I thought I was rooted and unlocked? Maybe its this .21 update that's messing it up for me. I get the same issue

Vipermod is just root. To unlock you have to download the unloker from Asus. Once you do that and activate the unlocker you can't lock it back up and void the warranty for good. I'm surprised at that since CWM works fine on my DroidX and it's bootloader is locked up tighter than this is.

Were you rooted before .21? Cuz Viper cant root .21 for now, it may look like it did but when you to use app like Titanium backup it will show if your not

I tried yesterday, flash .21, motley kernel v2.1, use viper to root without any problem. But today, reflash room, google play down, I can't get OTA rootkeeper, thereforce not be able to root my device again.
does anybody have copy of OTA root keeper and Rom manager? please share.
Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew a method to unroot the phone. You see, I rooted it thinking I would probably use it for a while. However.....turns out it has a hardware defect. While discharging, the phone will randomly shut off during long periods of inactivity.
So I need to turn it in to LG for warranty repair. But I've already factory reset the phone and SuperSU is still there. I've tried using the built-in removal for SuperSU and it's still there. I've tried using Root & Restore, it cannot find the device, so it's still there.
Anyone know a method to remove it before I turn it in? Or would it be ok to turn it in with SuperSU installed/disabled?

I would send as is. It will be reflashed anyway. Rooting doesn't affect hardware.
Did you use this method to root? Because you you should be able to unroot it as well.

Thanks, you're probably right. I just didn't want them to flat out deny it based upon SuperSU being there.

Tried, no luck. Though it probably doesn't help that I had some odd problems while rooting.....yet it still worked. I forget what exactly happened though.
1) Backup all apps and data in LG PC Suite.
2) Format internal memory from CWM. Hard Reset the Phone and Flash any latest official KDZ.
And you are back to fresh factory stock.
3) Restore apps and data with LG PC Suite if you wish.

When you flash unrooted KDZ, it wipes out recovery (cwm) with no trace. At least this happens on our P765 , P760.

Hi All,
I have attempted multiple methods to root my L9 p769. I have used the offline method with multiple KDZs. I have used the LGPWN.apk method on 10G, 20D, 20F without any luck. On every attempt, I install supersu to find that no su binary exists. My whole desire to root this thing is that I need to get my wifi tethering working again. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Merry Christmas

For lgpwn, you have to do it quickly for it to root the phone... If it doesnt work try 2 more times.

Ah persistence was the trick, installing LGPWN worked this time. Thanks so much. Also thanks for the tether link. Ideally I want to get my foxfi running again but this program looks like it doesn't trigger the com.lge.upsell.

Stock rom version 80120E is the latest one. Everybody should get it if possible. In addition to the above updates the lockscreen displays full screen album art from Google play music app. I've experienced far less frequent playback errors also.

I've seen this, but my question about it is, does it mess up root/custom recovery?
I second this. Just received the update today but I'm hesitant to install it. I still have stock recovery but I am rooted. Don't want to mess anything up. So if anyone who's rooted installed the update without problems let me know!

I'm rooted but I have custom recovery on mine (TWRP) and it was Hell... HELL! It took me 7 hours throughout the whole night to recover it, it was going back to TWRP every single time. But searching here in this fine website paid off! I'm not going to touch any OTA until I know more on how to prevent that again.
I had a similar experience when I upgraded to KitKat. Lost so much including pictures and videos that couldn't be replaced or recovered. Took hours just to get my phone working again. Never want to go through that again!

I was rooted and had TWRP. I upgraded using the LG service tool and had no issues. I lost root and recovery but was able to re-root using towelroot.
I was rooted and installed the uodate. I lost root and so far no chance of direct rooting. Good thing is that now we can choose runtime option, either dalvik or art.

Cool Confirmed, it worked for me as well, through the LG Support tool. Never taking it OTA ever again. :silly: And yes, I lost root as well and I've used towelroot before. I'm not sure if I'll install a custom recovery any time soon. Nearly bricked my LG G2 enough times already. :silly:

Have you tried using towelroot? From what I read it seems to work fine. I hope it does at least. I can live without knock code, but not having root would be a problem.
