Kinda a noob so bare with me lol.
I just bought a lg l9 p769 and after a quick search on how to root without a computer, I used lgpwn.apk and installed supersu and all was well intill my gf did the OTA update to 20H. Now no matter how many times i run lgpwn and repeat the process it wont root! When i launch lgpwn.apk it says "lgpwn has been denied superuser permissions" ive uninstalled everything multiple times and factory data reset, and still nothing!! Plz help
Still no luck on rooting again with the 20H OTA updat.e a real headache especially since i dont own a laptop

Hey everybody, first post. Anywho, I rooted my phone on version 4.0.4 and I used the lelus method, and once I got the phone to root everything was fine. I wanted to update to jb so I went into busybox or superuser, and unrooted and it gave me an error, and of course I don't remember the error. My root access is gone but things that were in the root like a custom boot animation are still there, i'm not sure if thats normal but now when I try to update to V20f and get an exclamatory android and a reboot. I already tried a factory reset and hard reset but I still can't update. Thanks!
Have you tried using the lg support tool? Thats how i updated without wiping everything. After that tuns, ifyou are trying to still have root, run lgpwn.apk,and lg-recovery-installer.apk. works like a charm

I successfully rooted my LG L70 with towelroot, but I have a problem now. I can't update the software on my phone from ms32310b to ms32310c. It downloads, reboots and appears to install and says system is up to date, but it's still at ms32310b and a couple days later says I need to download the update again. Will it not update because my phone is rooted now with towelroot? Does anyone know how I can maybe force the update so I can stop getting these update notifications? Thank you!
I seem to have this same problem but my phone is the ls740

I guess we have to use lg flash tool to manually flash the KDZ update file, but I'm not sure if updating will unroot the device since the new version in my case doesn't support root.
well on my phone i have CWM so i could probably find a zip to flash

if you root your phone mostly you do not get ota updates and if you get one and install it you lose root

This is absolutely correct. I rooted my LGMS323 with Towelroot (which worked beautifully I might add) but weeks later made the terrible oversight of approving an OTA update without thinking which nuked the root. I've been stuck ever since. Once you update to MS32310c there is NO EASY WAY of rooting your device (as of yet). The only way to reroot is to start over and downgrade from (c) back to (b) or (a) by flashing the KDZ as you mentioned. Because I'm without a machine at the moment and unable to do this I'm TRULY stuck. Don't be me! Stick with what you've got!

Thank you! I probably will. Unless of course they come out with a stable Lollipop rom, then I might be tempted to install Clockworkmod and check it out.
So long story short. I got this phone 12/20. I stump rooted it, and noob move took the ota to zv6. Lost root as we all know. Thing is I opened root check by mistake the other day and it shows as rooted. Just to see I tried to install super su, but it says binary not installed. Any ideas? The lg og was the first phone I played with and had it rooted and unlocked right after getting it. Never took an ota on that phone. This g3 is a bit of a different animal then I'm used too.

I think, it's not really rooted. If you do want to root, you can follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-how-to-restore-sprint-lg-g3-ls990-t2852042
Sorry if this doesn't help answer your question.
Thanks. I've been thinking of trying the roll back to zv4. Unfortunately my wife went and bought an iMac and my PC is in the closet. I do have an old laptop lying around I might be able to try it on. Thanks.
I'm thinking its not rooted either because of zv6 breaking root. Thinking maybe its just a side effect of me taking the ota on a rooted device like I shouldn't have?
I read about trying to flash twrp with flashify just to see if it would take but scared to even try as I don't want to screw this phone up. I sold my og so I have no backup.

All you can do is flash back ZV4, use stump root to root again, flash recovery, then flash superuser. You can also flash the deodexed zv6.
Thanks. Kinda what I thought but figured it didn't hurt to ask.
I've had the Kyocera hydro air for sometime now and tried kingroot and many similar apps but nothing seems to work to root my phone so if anyone has any information on how to root my phone I'll be very thankful and will appreciate any help I can't get.
I've tried everything... Seems to be locked up tighter than a gnat's behind.

Use kingroot apk, but you need to remove your SD card(that's the reason why many say Kingroot doesn't work)The bad news is that, it won't be permanent rooted. So do what you wanna do with your phone as long as it's rooted and if you wanna keep it rooted, don't turn it off or restart it. I rooted mine that way and installed titanium backup and got rid of some bloatware

So just use the app without the SD card in the phone? Do I remove it right before I open the app and root, and do I have to restart after? I got temp root once with the kingoroot PC app but titanium backup didn't actually remove bloat, it just said it did. Thanks!

I had an issue with this phone, i did temp root it and install supersu instead of kingroot using supersume. First of all, everything was going well, but after a few days the kingroot app started to increase its size up to the point it almost reached 1Gb in size. So I decided to uninstall it, and I got rid of that phone, I gave it to my son, he doesn't need a rooted phone anyway!
P.D. I did not reset my phone in the days it was temp rooted because it would lose root access after a reset. But anyway, I've got me a LG G Stylo H634 and I did root it using kingroot. This is everything left of my bloatware

I had this same issue with my Kyocera hydro air C6745
I was able to temp/broken root my phone with the sd card still installed with kingroot and it said it rooted, tried to do supersu and it failed saying something was locked.(been a few days).
Rebooting obviously gets rid of the fake root. Titanium Backup did not really remove bloat at all, the space was never actually freed up either.
Seems to be a lost cause. I decided to unlock the phone through ATT's online method and had it pin unlocked within 5 minutes.
Just collecting dust as a backup phone for whenever it is called to duty.
On to the LG G Stylo. I have the LG G Stylo H631(T-Mobile variant, the best of all of them), man this phone is still beautiful to this very day.
It's my main phone, I bought it on eBay for around 20 bucks+Free S&H about a week ago and it was clean IMEI just google account locked(I removed it easily) and in amazing condition.
She is better than my Samsung note 4's and 5's I've owned.
Muuuuch more stable as well. I have not had a single hiccup with it.
Hi, i was wondering if Kingoroot is safe to use. I want to root my phone but i'm really new at rooting and i don't know too much about rooting.
Thanks in advance
Yes
It is however I recommend KingRoot as it is better and safer (kingroot.net)
kingoroot worked to root my old lg volt but....
...but I have a moto g3 that I rooted with twrp, and I now recognize the danger of the rooting apps. See after routing my moto g3 I installed all kinds of stupid apps that I really didn't understand. I screwed up the phone about five times now. The reason I could do that though, is because twrp has my back. Every time I have the phone running great, I create a backup in twrp. So when I get things too screwy I just go back to one of my backups.
What I'm saying is KINGOROOT is NOT AS DANGEROUS AS YOU CAN BE TO YOUR PHONE WITH ROOT PERMISSIONS AND NO RECOVERY. Every app in the playstore that requires root can screw up your phone. Believe me ive screwed the pooch enough to know.
