Hi, guys.
My phone has been updated this week via lg official updater and I can't seem to root this thing using simple means. I've used superoneclick, z4root and rageagainstthecage (including manual adb method and gui).
Hope people can help. The firmware in suspect is V10E_00.
Thanks in advance.

I have this problem too. I updated using the LG update software and the software version is now V10E-NOV-30-2010, and the android version is 2.2.1 build FRG83.
We need help. Thanks in advance.
same here
..after official update to 2.2.1 i can't root LGP500 (i've tried: superoneclick, z4root, universalblabla, rageagainstthecage gui..etc)
before the update my phone was rooted with no problem
Solved?!
Hello,
Guys, even me.. after an official update nothing worked to root my O1 (z4root, superoneclick, etc...) so what I did is downgrade the ROM to 10a but nothing to do.. still the same untill I found this topic http://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-s-roms-hacks/43108-how-root-lg-optimus-s.html - follow step by step instructions and you'll root your P50x. It worked for me.. hope it will work even for you.
Cheers.
nope
Sorry zeule but this is not worikng on V10N (FRG83).
After runing ./rageagainstthecage (a milion times..) the phone must be restarted in order to run adb again....
no # only $
thx anyway

Guys, if you want a rooted phone, in this case downgrade the firmware.. it's easy, I rooted the phone and installed a custom ROM.. much better than the standard.. even rooted standard ROMs do suck
It's just a matter of taste. One minus is that branded ROMs use more resources (sometimes a little, other times many (like HTC sense)).

I understand that Zeule, but if there was a way to directly root this (without having to go to flash back to v10b then install custom recovery, then flash to custom ROM), that would be great.
I don't want to set everything up again: contacts, customizations, etc...
@ameragorn: I've downgraded to v10b before. My contacts and other customizations weren't altered in anyway. It's only when using custom roms that they were lost since it was expected from the data wipe. The good thing is that I had the forsight to sync my contacts with a gmail account I set up just for contacts. You can go back to v10b to get root access or you can wait for a successful method to be devised for rooting v10e.
Easiest way for me to back up contacts and also existing messages is by using MyPhoneExplorer app. Just do a backup there, and once you wiped everything out, just restore it in your phone. No hassle at all.

exactly. flashing to the custom rom will wipe some stuff out. i'm not just referring to contacts, included are messages, customizations i did re-arranging the apps on the menu w/ categories, not to mention data on my apps...
i'll wait around for a successful method of rooting this as it is. same goes when gingerbread comes.
thanks to all who suggested going to custom ROM, i just prefer not to go that route.

one-click rooting will not work...you need to do manual rooting. Mine updated to v10e but since i was using custom rom it did not affect my device being rooted.

Whew! It's really hard working in graveyard shift. I can't flash my unit in the office due to restrictions!
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
Sent from my LG-P769 using xda app-developers app
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.

I protected root in voodoo, sys update restarted the phone, red triangle/some kind of error and then phone restarted by itself back to normal.

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?

The FreeGee app will unlock your bootloader along with disable security check. Then you can delete any app you want to.

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.
Calling all Modders! Calling all Modders!
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.
I was able to root, de-bloat and install TWRP. I also made a backup and was able to restore. I know that's not much info but every little bit helps.

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 used the kinguser app to get root on it. I doubted it would work but It did The trick. make sure you update the King user app to prevent most apps from saying you don't have root, also, A strange thing happened though I used the jrummy root checker and now it says my phone is an Lg F60. Not sure if that's a bad thing. Also keep in mind you will lose your custom recovery I've been looking for ways to flash the twrp/cwm recoveries but it seems to be locked to the stock recovery. I've been putting it off but I'm going to test pushing the files through adb and see if that does anything. I'll let you know whether It bricks or not

Do you have a backup of your rom? and could you post a link to it?
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.

Hello, I have a lg leon phone I rooted and I do not know how to get the stagefright patch for it since the device will now not accept the OTA updates because of rooting. Can someone tell me or show me help to get this patch installed. I rooted the device with kingroot and aside from backing up apps using Titanium backup I did not do any backup methods for the phone. I am guessing I will be forced to do a clean setup of the phone now? Can this be accomplished with the phone in its current state if required to install the stagefright patch? Please have patience with me as I am new to rooting and probably made some mistakes. Thank you.

As a quick workaround, you can add this to your build.prop:

It is a bit risky to edit system files without a custom recovery and a nandroid backup though. Definitely recommend TWRP recovery. It's available for the Metro and T-Mobile versions, but dunno about other ones. Easy to install, either via the TWRP Manager app or an app like Flashify or Rashr should work, if you just download the appropriate img file.
Thank you so much for this great info. I learned something new today and love that stuff. Have a great day.
