Hello, people! I've recently bought an L9 P760 from Orange Romania. It came with JB v20c and it updated OTA to v20i. I really like the factory ROM - it's pretty fast, has no bugs and the battery is great - it's everything I need. I just want to know if there's any way I can root this stock ROM. I tried with LGPwn.apk and it doesn't work (I have spritebud) and I've also found a chinese app that is supposed to root almost every terminal, but I'm not so sure about what it does, so I came here for your advices. Any help would be appreciated! Greetings from RO!

What's the error you got from LGPwn? And after you use LGPwn.apk, did you try to install SuperSu from market?
Try this method.
Everything goes just fine, except I have no root access. I restore, the phone reboots, I install SuperSU but it says that there's no binary or smth like that. Then I've tried to install SuperSU immediately after the LGPwn's restore, without reboot, still no luck. I have to mention I've tried many times, it simply can't get root acces (checked every single time with RootChecker).
L.E. @Casserole - I've seen that thing too, but it looks a bit weird (the idea of not knowing what the heck messes with my phone scares me a bit).. is this method safe? Thx in advance!

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.

It's good that it will be my restday starting today.
Whew! It's really hard working in graveyard shift. I can't flash my unit in the office due to restrictions!
Im trying to root my LG Optimus ME p350 but it doesnt work!
When i used Gingerbreak v1.20 it keeps rooting for ever. I open it through ASTRO, as i saw in a tutorial, and when i clicked on root my device it appears the following:
Gingerbreak
Rooting...
Running exploit...
This may take a few minutes!
Device will reboot on success!
and it keeps on, and on, like forever! I've let it for like 30m and nothing!
I also used Universal Androot but when i click on root it saids that there is an failure.
I've also tried Superoneclick but it also keeps forever without anyresults.
In all the actions ive made the usb debugging was check and the unknown decises where also check! I have the 2GB sd card mounted and i just dont know what to do! Everywhere i look the users said that with the gingerbreak everything works on LG OPTIMUS ME P350 but with me... it does NOT!
What firmware do you currentrly have? If it's 10a, then that could be one of the reasons gingerbreak is not working. I had the stock firmware version 10a, couldn't root - then I update the ROM to 10d and Gingerbreak worked perfectly, my phone is now rooted.
sorry for this late reply, hope u reply me. I dont really know where to look for that so i checked the About phone section. The version pf software was LG-P350-V10g. Any other help?
Then if you ROM stock is 10g, I guess it should really work with Gingerbreak. I have version 10d, and it worked wonderfully... maybe you could switch to 10d?
I'm having THE SAME problem (also V10G), what should we do ?!?!? Can anyone please help us...?

Hi
I have a Lenovo S960S running 4.4.2, I've discovered it's a fake device and almost nothing is what I thought I have purchased. I mention this because I have almost no support for my mobile.
Initially I could root the phone using VROOT, then I installed Supersu and afterwards delete the chinese Root app. Everything was OK until y have updated my version (from needrom), everything works perfectly and better than before but there's no way to root the phone again. I've tried all kind of alternative root methods without any success. I can't root again.
As far as I know, there's no custom recovery for this device up to date or a ROM version for flash tools...
I'd appreciate a lot your help.

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.

Hi, i have the same coolpad and i´ve tried all Root tools but no success.
Maybe our smartphone is not public enough, no developers to get root / CWM or ROMs
We have to wait....
What Build did you have? I have updated yesterday to V30.

Yeah, I'm on the same V30 build, got the update a couple days ago. As you're the only other person I've ever seen to own this phone, I got to ask you - do you ever get issues with GPS? For me sometimes the GPS simply dies (can't see/find any satellites) and the only way to fix it is to force stop Play Store (found out by accident). Pretty sure it's a software issue, but not sure if it's only for me or for everyone.
any news about rooting coolpad torino s?
I did try various King Root versions, but none of them worked. Other one-click root apps seemed way too shady to install on the phone. Sadly I think there won't be any way to root this phone considering how unpopular it is.
I even contacted Coolpad EU customer service about root possibilities (I know some Chinese manufacturers allow root access), but after a quick response they completely stopped responding. Quite unprofessional from them, next time I will steer clear from Coolpad brand.

Just a quick update. Today I managed to get a root access with the latest Kingoroot app on a first try.
Initially I just wanted to remove bloatware like Zumei weather, Facebook, Touchpal and unroot because Kingoroot seemed quite shady, for some reason it connected to internet from time to time and phone seemed to work slower than it should.
BUT by sheer luck I managed to replace Kingo SuperUser with SuperSU. Basically what I did:
1. Root with Kingoroot and reboot;
2. Install SuperSU from Play store;
3. Remove Kingo SuperUser (it was installed when rooting with Kingoroot) and reboot;
4. Run SuperSU and update binaries -> normal;
5. It didn't work the first time, it was stuck on "Installing, please wait..." so I rebooted my phone and repeated 4th step;
6. This time it updated just fine, I removed Kingoroot, rebooted and had a root access.

Sorry, I've been away from XDA for some really long time. I used KingOroot not Kingroot. Also I forgot to mention, but you need to enable Developer Options and enable OEM unlocking there.
Though it's been some time since I last tried rooting, maybe Kingroot works now too.
