The New OTA update from LG kills the current method to root the Optimus S...
If you install the OTA version of the update the current method's to escalate your privilege level to root doesn't work... IF you use the LG update tool, you can still root using a modified set of rules from the Optimus V...
I'd post this in the Optimus S forum, but there isn't one on XDA, but I suspect some still lurk on these forums...

Do you know where i might be able to find instructions on how to do this?
Take a look here.
That's a really complete set of instructions... including what to do if you accidentally updated via OTA... and how to recover and get root back.

Why not share now the rooted cwm backups?
Some say I rooted V10A or V10C and then did OTA update and kept root on V10E
Some say I rooted V10E and then did OTA update and kept root on V10G
etc etc....
This is happening since a week or more. But literally no-one, no-one did (tar format) backup of the ROM from CWM and no one did share it on XDA.
So does this mean everyone here is only for TAKING and not for GIVING???? Giving is such a joy but......
EDIT: How to share Rooted CWM Backup
Answer: Please visit this thread and check second and third post.
I am sure there are kind and exceptionally helpful humans in the world too who will upload backups very soon to mirrors.
Hmm.... 86 views and no reply. Great, that tells a lot.
Anyways I am not saying that this will work but we could give it a try and its safe too if done on matching variants. Still looking for sharers.
i still have my cwm full backup taken on 10e when i had root. is there a way to share that without my personal data part? 1.69gb folder clockworkmod. w/o blobs folder just 25mb

Finally first reply after 106 views. Thanks a lot @nuzbabu, YOU ARE GREAT.
I guess you have P765 by your name but I am confused how you got V10E rooted on it? Please share your city in your profile and also inform your phone L9 variant (P760 or P765?)
Pal, the procedure of CWM backup is already given in first post. You have to take backup (in TAR format, not blobs) without your DATA and APPS. Just factory Data Reset and take backup of plain rooted rom. Zip it (around 500/600mb) and upload it to www.multiupload.nl
IMPORTANT: Before wiping out data, take full backup for your own restore.
well many of us are stucked at 10a with root and cwm and also looking at this thread :silly:
R: Why xda pals here are not sharing rooted cwm backups?
If only I weren't on v10a I would share my backup as fast as possible but that s it...
I'm thinking that some people are just joking us about what they root or not... but maybe is just idleness...

i am in usa with p769 tmobile 10g unrooted. but i have 10e regular backup folder. as i did know this and now unrooted (by mistake) can not be helpful
How many people here have installed CWM btw? I haven't actually, and trying to make the least modification to /system as possible (Titanbackup, AdFree, and Droidwall, that's all apps which picking at my /system).
Re: Why xda pals here are not sharing rooted cwm backups?
I'm on rooted 10e p760, I promise to post my system dump as soon as I have time.
cwm from adb
is there a way to install 10e kdz on tmobile p769 10g?
Re: Why xda pals here are not sharing rooted cwm backups?
I dont have root on my current device (10G P769) but I have a secondary device on 10G with root. Currently doing a system dump with all partitions in .img format. When im done I can do a cwm nandroid as well.

flash 10e rom to your phone, but you need get LG 10e rom first
I did not wanted to post all this, but SADly I had to do this, posting the posts of people who claimed they could KEEP ROOT on higher updates via OTA. If they share thier plain CWM Backup (without personal Data), rest of the people who can root V10A and could not Root higher updates can RESTORE it.
I even wanted someone post rooted V10H P760 CWM TAR backup, which I will flash on P765, yes P765, coz P760 KDZ works perfectly on P765 without any issue. In fact I am on unrooted P760V10H on P765.

Technically yes!! But we have to find out. If you are on V10A rooted P769 and CWM installed. You should be able to Restore CWM backup of Rooted P769 V10E sent by someone else. All you have to do is COPY the BACKUP folder (2013-02-05.08.24.41) in...
/sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup/2013-02-05.08.24.41
...and restore. I dont guarantee this may work, but the thing EXPERIMENT for which we are all here on XDA.
If this gets successful, WE AUTOMATICALLY GET OUR SEMI-CUSTOM ROOTED ROMS. If fails we have nothing to lose. :fingers-crossed:

Uploading as we speak. I have a L9 at my job here. Has our dummy gmail on it to download apps, was too lazy to reset it lol.
Also comes with voodo ota keeper and root browser lite.
Multiupload says I have about an hour for it to upload so hang tight.
P.S. Doing a CWM backup, has the same stuff I just mentioned.
EDIT: Here's the link to the initial backup. Will post CWM later if still needed.
http://www.multiupload.nl/HQ7WFRXMXA
I would, but I dont have CWM installed, even though I have 10g rooted, just because for now I am happy with just the root. Otherwise I would share.

Yes, yes!! And I got just excuses one acceptable and one not. Please don't ask me to reveal names I dont want issues here. We just need GENEROUS people to upload their CWM backup if possible and as soon as possible.
MORE1: I also asked people to share the MIRRORS of downloaded official unrooted KDZ of P769 for my Archive thread. Because everyday LG links are disappearing (many P760V10E links are now not working after V10H came). But nobody uploaded anything to mirror. Two of them promised P769V10E to me but simply ignored till date. Again please don't ask names, browse a little and you might know. Now dont make me BEG to rest of them.
MORE2: I , alone, downloaded ALL (YES ALL) AVAILABLE SOURCE CODES (though not my variant) and MIRRORED them for future work and now we dont have to worry if original company links dont work. Now its not possible for single person to download all those KDZ (all 500+mbs) and upload to mirror. I expected my friends will also help the community, not a single mirror created by anyone. Fine...
In short, I am doing my best to keep this forum full of resources but not getting good RESPONSE and above that, I have to answer questions like you just asked me one here. Anyways thanks a lot to you too, because this made situation more clear.
I hoped LG L9 have bright time in future. Here I think "future" is the best word, and that time is not "now".

This is great. With this willingness to help community, now I see some light somewhere in the dark.
As you are from Italy, I will only ask you to upload all the KDZ files already downloaded by you. First directly Rootable (may be V10A or V10C I dont know) and last few V10E/G/H. Or whatever you wish to upload. Post in fresh thread or in my Archive Thread, I dont mind.
Forget me, I am nothing, but xda community will be always be grateful to you.
And dont forget to post your ROOTED CWM TAR BACKUP :laugh: to be the first one to come. Thanks a lot. GOD BLESS YOU.

IMPORTANT
PLEASE BE ON TOPIC. TALK ONLY ABOUT CWM BACKUPS. NOT ABOUT ROOTING AND FLASHING.
These are Rooted CWM Backups to be used only for already ROOTED L9 phones.
If you don't have CWM (Recovery) already installed, then you are in wrong thread / topic.
USE INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK. I DO NOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING.
MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE
Full wipe restore method, so don't forget to take backup before restoring.
CM based Backups are not added because stable build is not yet released and I want this thread clean from bugs related discussions.
Since long time I am asking everyone I converse here to mirror KDZ ROMS for future use because LG links are disappearing very fast, but I am not getting any positive responses. And now since last week I am trying to coax everyone (by hook or crook) to upload ROOTED CWM BACKUPS they have for V10E/V10F/V10G/V10H, etc.
In this series, I am sharing the mirror of my first CWM BACKUP of Rooted V10C perfectly working on my P765.
CWM BACKUP IS ORIGINALLY CALLED NANDROID BACKUP. IF ANYONE IS ON ROOTED V10*/V20*, CAN RESTORE CWM BACKUP AND GO ON HIGHER/LOWER ROOTED BUILDS.
I HAVE TESTED THIS OK, but Results May Vary.
CLEAN, WIPED AND NO PERSONAL DATA(as claimed by respective uploaders)

After I requested some pals, I got promises from some generous and kind people who are going to share the plain CWM BACKUPS OF ROOTED ROMS.
I appeal everyone from bottom of my heart, who are with Rooted L9 (any variant, any version), please take CWM Backup and mirror it as soon as possible. GOD AND XDA WILL BLESS YOU.
How to create CWM Backup?
See post#2
How to restore (install) cwm backup?
See post#3
Wish me Goodluck and also to whole L9 XDA community.
USE INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK AS I DO NOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING HERE. BUT ITS TESTED OK BY ME.
HOW TO TAKE CWM BACKUP OF ROOTED ROM?
THIS IS TESTED OK!!!! CWM BACKUP PROCEDURE MENTIONED IN OP (Opening Post) WORKED PERFECTLY WELL!!! 100%. WITHOUT REBOOTING PHONE. EVERYTHING IS DONE IN CWM ONLY.
Two Backups will be taken, therefore at least 2.5 GB free space should be there in External SD Card. Also, you must be rooted.
.
Now you can start CWM and in Backup&Restore section,
change Backup Format option to TAR format.
.
Take First CWM Backup with your Full data and Apps (for your own restore). (Approx 1.2 GB or more)
.
Wipe your personal data before Second Backup
Wipe Factory Data Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Wipe Dalvik Cache
(Dont worry, your data in Internal Memory and External Memory Card will not be deleted.)
.
Take Second CWM Backup without any data (coz you blanked it all in previous step: no email-a/c, no system data, no applications, etc) this backup you are going to mirror.
(Approx 480 to 750 MB)
.
Restore your First CWM Backup and then Restart the phone. Now you will find all DATA and APPS, Launchers, Settings, etc. as it is. Nothing will be seen changed.
.
Connect Phone to PC to copy files (MTP mode). You will find your First and Second Backup Folder in phone in following location. You need second backup to share from folder mentioned. Example...
.
/sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup/2013-02-06.12.32.27
(*date time of folder will be different, of course) Now copy the second backup folder to your pc and ZIP the whole folder, which will be around 500+-mb. Name the zip something like this...
.
Rooted_CWM_BACKUP_P765_V10G_by_YourName.zip
.
Take this Zip file of Second Backup without any data and UPLOAD to www.multiupload.nl or any other site and share the link with details.
.
SUPER SU WILL REMAIN INTACT EVEN AFTER WIPING EVERYTHING AND WHEN INSTALLED LG RECOVERY INSTALLER WILL SHOW "RECOVERY ALREADY INSTALLED". In simple words, ROOT remains untouched after wiping data and cache, like it remained always there with our adventures with O2X.
Hope this motivates some more generous souls to take CWM backup of Rooted ROMs and upload it. :laugh:
USE INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK AS I DO NOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING HERE. BUT ITS TESTED OK BY ME. MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE.
HOW TO INSTALL (RESTORE) CWM BACKUP-FILE?
Steps(AFTER TAKING REGULAR BACKUP).
If you are on Rooted L9, you can skip this step and go to step 2,
.
But if you are not, then download Rootable KDZ for any respective L9 Variant from this thread and Flash and Root it with this thread
.
If you already have CWM then you can skip this step and go to step 3,
.
But if you dont have CWM already installed, then go to this thread by Artas182x to install installer APK and then install CWM Recovery.
.
Backup your data with titanium backup or other backup apps. (if required)
.
Download the matching (variant) CWM Backup for your L9. Extract the ZIP on pc and copy the BACKUP folder in following CWM location on external memory card. Your folder will look something like this...
.
/sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup/2013-02-06.12.32.27
.
Remember this is External Memory Card, not phone memory. You have to copy your backup in "/clockworkmod/backup/" folder of Memory Card.
.
Disconnect phone, Restart phone in CWM Recovery mode. Wipe Data, Cache partition and Dalvik Cache.
.
Select "Backup & Restore" from main menu, select "RESTORE" and Select your backup folder and RESTORE it. Done!!!
Once done restart the phone and you should be on Rooted Rom, ROOT INTACT and device will start a fresh starting with basic setup wizard.
Disadvantages: Only one! You have to backup your data before restore because you are restoring CWM from someone else which is clean.
Hope this helps.

I dont have P760 but someone else have already done this before (flashing P765 rom on P760). You can search forum and check yourself.
BTW, I have flashed almost all P760 roms various countries, various versions on my Asian P765 and used for several days without any issue. FLASHED IT AT LEAST 10 TO 12 TIMES :laugh:.
NFC:
Both are identical DEVICES, and you can try it. Should work. But P765 does note have NFC hardware inside, so you will not see NFC option in settings of your P760, but everything else should work without any issue.
When I flashed P760 on my P765, I saw NFC option (lolz) but it just stays there and does not work (coz P765 dont have NFC hardware, thats all).
Come on get some courage and yes Good Luck.
Thanking a lot to Jrkoffjonson for his CWM Backup of P769BK V10G in this post.
Though I dont have P769, some simple experiment I want to suggest for this L9variant....
CAN WE DO A TEST ON ROOTED P769V10G TO BURST A MYTH?
P769V10G is known for a myth that it cannot be flashed back to V10E or older. At the moment, if you are on V10G, you are stuck.
And here Jrkoffjonson have Rooted V10G Rooted
If someone shares CWM Backup of P769V10A or P769V10G and if Jrkoffjonson is successfully able to flash that V10A, then may be it will be first time that someone can roll back from V10G to V10A or V10E.
Why I think this may get success because, the OTA or offline KDZ flashing does not allow rolling back, because they might be holding some restricted install instructions given by LG lab representatives. But CWM is just a BACKUP IMAGE without any instructions like KDZ and should flash an IMAGE WITHOUT ANY STUPID INSTRUCTIONS (like in KDZ).
So is there anyone who can share CWM Backup of Rooted V10A or V10E for P769BK to test for bursting this myth?

The only thing that would be an issue is for non rooted 10G folks.. Like I mentioned in the other thread I had an extra L9 at my store that I rooted and did the CWM dump. Too bad the Wind Mobile cannot be rooted, we could have flashed the KDZ for it, rooted and flashed the backup I made.
Has anyone had luck with the LG Smartflash Tool? Always got "Magic number does not coincide"

Thanks a lot for prompt reply. I know that some pals were sleeping and they pushed V10G OTA and it was updated before pals could root the phone. But there are some lucky pals, who did root V10G.
Above concept can be used at least for Rooted P769V10G.
I sent a PM to wkpark for his help regarding the SamrtFlash few days back. He may reply. He is huge dev from various devices and bit busy man. All I can do is wait for his reply with patience. . I am also trying to find suitable person who can help us in this case. Will update later.

Good stuff, I have off the next few days and will try and find a better host for the 10E BIN/FLS files. Also thinking about doing a ADB backup for my apps and trying to flash another models firmware that CAN be rootable.. just gotta see what one is most similar to 769 to avoid touchscreen (or other) issues. If that can be done I don't see why we can't go that route.
Edit: Shame we can't reverse the process that LGExtract does. We could possibly build a whole new 10E KDZ..

Since long time I am asking everyone I converse here to mirror KDZ ROMS for future use because LG links are disapperaing very fast, but I am not getting any positive responses. And now since last week I am trying to coax everyone (by hook or crook) to upload ROOTED CWM BACKUPS they have for V10E/V10F/V10G/V10H, etc.
In this series, I am sharing the mirror of my first CWM BACKUP of Rooted V10C perfectly working on my P765.
IF ANYONE IS ON ROOTED V10A BUILD (OR ROOTED V10C/E), CAN RESTORE CWM BACKUP AND GO ON HIGHER ROOTED BUILDS. I HAVE TESTED THIS OK, but Results May Vary.
RESTORABLE CWM BACKUPS: STOCK, CLEAN, WIPED, ROOTED (as claimed by respective uploaders)

If you are on Rooted L9, you can skip this step and go to step 2,

You are stuck and this may not be applicable to you. If you are Rooted, then you can wait for someone post V10A/E rom. Otherwise this thread is not going to help you. Sorry.

(PUTTING IN BLOCK BIG LETTERS FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED. HA HA HA.:laugh::laugh: TAKE IT EASY, KIDDING )
Thank you Jrkoffjonson.
Because my phone is not so stock, I could not get the OTA update from 10e to 10g to work. It would fail at about 20% mark when updating. So, I used your 10g back up file to update my 10e to 10g.
After the 10g restore, instead of starting from scratch, I went back and restored 'data' section from my 10e back up using the advance back up menu.
Everything recovered fine except for two items; I had to re-generate Link2SD script and also reinstall the two overclocking modules. Otherwise everything is working fine.
Now, I have to go back and delete bloatware and CarrierQ.
P.S. - I would have contribute my 10e image but it is so convoluted and it's not stock so I don't think it will help others.

Woohoo!!! SUCCESS!!!:good:
This is what I wanted to hear. You could Restore CWM Backup from other user. Thanks for confirmation.
Now, CWM backups from each other will help us JUMP from any build to any build, within variant or outside variant.
Works perfect with Rooted L9. Unrooted people please should stay away until they have Root.
So I can say, my efforts to motivate everyone to share CWM BACKUP is succeeded.:good:
Now only, last thing is remaining if someone shares CWM Backup of P769V10A, then many of us who are on Rooted P769V10G, can come back to previous builds and vice versa. :laugh:
Quick update as to what I've been up to.
Downloaded P760 Euro 10A KDZ. Flashed and rooted, restored with my CWM backup. However I am getting the dreaded mirrored screen effect.
Someone send me files in /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display0 so I can see if that fixes the issue?
I am now on 10G rooted but that's the only problem I've come across- making my device unusable.
10G KDZ WILL NOT FIX.. at least for me.. flashed about 15x since last night and same amount of factory resets lol.
EDIT: Another problem is that my softkeys and home button are funky.
NEWSFLASH: Rooting V10G P769 is possible now... visit this page
***All following information was true upto 2-March-2013 only before new Root Method arrived. lolz
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lolz.:laugh: Title says it all. I am just curious to know how many of you are stuck on Unrooted P769V10G?
Facts+Observations (till post update date)
P769 V10E is ROOTABLE
P769 V10G is NOT ROOTABLE
P769 V11A Wind Mobile is also NOT ROOTABLE
Some were on Rooted P769 V10E and accidentally or unknowingly they updated (in sleep) to V10G and lost Root and now stuck on it.
Once on UNROOTED V10G, you CANNOT REVERT BACK to V10E or previous roms (if any). Some people tried but they got some weird results.
Once on V10G you can flash "V11A Wind Mobile" kdz but that also CANNOT BE ROOTED.
.
WARNING: DO NOT FLASH OTHER KDZ FROM P768/P765/P760 ON P769 AS THE HARDWARE IS NOT FULLY COMPATIBLE AND YOU MAY PARTIALLY OR PERMANENTLY BRICK THE PHONE.

I read somewhere on L9 threads that once upgrading to 10g or 10h, you can't go back to 10a, is this problem only on P769? because it's possible to downgrade down to 10a from 10h on P760. but... with some little troubles
you see after downgrading to 10a i coudn't even type my simcard pincode, because the phone was horribly slow!
i had to soft reset (power button + home key + volume up) after resetting it was allright but a new problem here after resetting.... i lost everything, LUCKILY i setup LG's backup tool to backup everything twice a week, so restoring with this app is a life savior i tell you, it even restore settings, downloaded apps, homescreen settings and widgets, everything!

Good information and great suggestion. Thanks a lot. But there is no problem for P760/P765/P768 at all. Pals are flashing any roms anytime.
The problem listed and to discussed here is about P769, the variant which is intentionally made rigid by US Carriers. More information will be appreciated. Anyone?
IS there anyone who tried flashing P760V10A rom on P769? Just for time being, then it can be rooted and then CWM backup of P769 can be flashed. Well I am not sure this will work, and not asking anyone to do it.
Just asking if anyone tried this way before or not?
Flashed the full 10g kdz, so there was no way possible for me to keep root. And yes, I'm fully aware that I'm an idiot.
Looks like cgigate tried flashing with bad results
Don't want to mess with it to much now, going on vacation this week and don't have a backup 4G phone.
I almost had a heart attack when my phone was upgrading. How fortunate I was to have installed Voodoo Root Keeper as instructed in the rooting thread.

You can switch between V10G and V11A but can't root both. And no switch back to V10E. Say thanks to your US providers. Not to blame LG. They don't restrict this anywhere else in the world for P760/P765/P768.

my phone to factory settings and need to root again. My phone is updated to 4.1.2 now and the original root I used does not work anymore. My phone only reboots once instead of twice and the SuperSU binary files do not load. Nor is the app on my system tray. I saw a thread on here before asking about the ability to root again without unlocking bootloader. However, that thread did not help me in the slightest. Thank you for the time.
SPECS:
-LG Optimus G (ATT - E970)
-has 4.1.2 JB
-Rooted previously on ICS
-Was reset to factory settings
-cannot root on 4.1.2
