Hello guys, this is a Tutorial for the LG optimus L5 step for step Rooting, Installing bootloader, installing CWM and finally installing ROMS.
I made this thread because i thought the other threads are a bit scattered all over the Lg optimus forums which is a bit obsecure.
So here I set up the steps! Good luck!
NOTE: THIS IS AN OLD THREAD, THE METHOD USED HERE MIGHT NOT WORK ANYMORE. IF YOU CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO FIX THINGS WHEN YOU ****ED UP, NEITHER WILL I REPLY TO ANY QUESTIONS ASKED SINCE I DON'T HAVE THE DEVICE ANYMORE
Before doing any of these things: MAKE A BACKUP!
ROOTING
First, What is rooting? (for noobs)
For rooting the L5 you need the following things: "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk" & a root package provided by XxXKINGMAKXxX (Attatched below)
1) go to system settings --> developer options --> turn USB debugging ON
Then, go to system settings --> Security --> allow unknown sources
2) Install SystemBackupTest.apk with a file manager then, open the app and reboot - the app should be kept open while rebooting !important!
when the phone is completely rebooted, change your mobile connection mode to “Charge Only Mode”, then reconnect the cable.
4) Run root.bat from the root package, your phone will reboot and it will be rooted!
UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER
For all E617g owners, go to thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392762 thread.
You need to install bootloader if you want to continue with the next steps.
Its very important to choose the right unlock file, else you will get bootloops!
5) if you got E610/E612g, download emmc_appsboot for E610
if you got E612, download emmc_appsboot for E612
if you got E615, download emmc_appsboot for E615
next, install terminal emulator from google play unrar &
copy emmc_appsboot.bin to your internal SD card.
then, open up terminal emulator and type in:
su
[*] dd if=/sdcard/emmc_appsboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
[*] reboot
INSTALLING CLOCK WORK MOD
6) Download "recovery.img" and copy it to your internal SD card.
(there is a special recovery img for the E615 - look in the attatchments)
7) Type in terminal emulator:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/recovery-backup.img (optional - makes a back-up)
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
reboot recovery
If you did everything good your phone will now reboot in CWM!
If you want to go into CWM any other time: turn off your phone then, press volume down + power, when the menu lights pop up press home button for 2 seconds and you will see CWM.
ROMS
This isn't difficult at all, just download some roms (given below) and drag and drop the zip file into your external/internal sd card.
Before flashing a custom rom do a factory reset trough cwm!
Go into CWM and go to the folder where you placed your custom rom. You can navigate with the volume buttons and the power button(=enter).

Regarding E612G/E612F
For everyone with E612G/E612F/E610V/E610GO, these aren't compatible with CWM/bootloader, so no CWM means no custom ROMS. You can only root your phone and thats it!

You shouldnt have flashed v20 if you want cm10, also if you want to install a new rom first delete /system, /data and media /dalvik /cache, just wipe everyting from your phone then install cm10(.1).

READ, The titel already says stock ICS to Customrom!!! ICS = android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich !!!
- See my other Tutorial if you want Root + CWM on 4.1.2. --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405357
I would like to suggest updating cwm to a newer version and avoiding the cwm v. 6.0.2.8. Look up for another newer. Recently, some of us we had problems with that version.
is there no tool like the AIO -ToolKit to just override everything for the 610? other than kdz. something that does work when the mpt driver fails to install?

Flashing a kdz relocks the bootloader.
You can also relock the bootloader by flashing an unmodified about.img for your model.

Hi guys. I'm not really sure if i'm in the right place to ask this question but i managed easily to root, unlock bootloader and flash cwm recovery so i thought when this thread helped with all of above (and thanks for that!) maybe someone can answer me how to (and can i) do a sim unlock of d620r ?
I'm having an LG phone for the first time. Other androids i had (mostly samsung and sony) i was able to unlock quite easy finding online tutorials but with this one i'm stuck cause i don't seem to be able to find any help on google or here on xda.
Any info would be very appreciated

I'm having an LG phone for the first time. Other androids i had (mostly samsung and sony) i was able to unlock quite easy finding online tutorials but with this one i'm stuck cause i don't seem to be able to find any help on google or here on xda.
Any info would be very appreciated

Under such situation, you have to unlock the bootloader, but you have to be aware you will lose DRM keys.

Did you notice what OP said? It doesn't want to install Pre-rooted (modified) ROM. Moreover, installing such ROM requires custom recovery.
Easy Method Maybe

First, on your computer download the DooMKernel from here and the SuperSU package from here.
Save these files on desktop and transfer the SuperSU zip on your Xperia Z Ultra (first connect your smartphone with your PC via USB cable; when done, unplug the USB connection).
Unzip the DooMKernel package on your computer.
Now, connect your smartphone with your PC one more.
Navigate towards the .img folder (where you have unzipped the DooMKernel file).
From there open a command prompt window: press and hold Shift keyboard key while right clicking on any blank space.
In the cmd window type
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
or
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
in order to reach fastboot mode on your handset.
Now, reboot your Xperia Z Ultra into TWRP recovery (once more, you don’t have to previously install a custom recovery image on your phone) by typing into cmd :
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
Good; then from TWRP recovery load and install the SuperSU zip file and then do the “Swipe to confirm flashing” action in order to resume the root process.
When done, from main menu of recovery select “reboot system now”.
Do note that if you will get stuck into a boot loop, you need to go back to recovery from where you should select “wipe data factory reset” and “wipe cache partition”.

You can use one of the many root programs and inject the towel root exploit.
I've owned, destroyed this phone about 5x I just recently got a new one about 2 weeks ago. So I've tried everything on the ultra. All he has to do is flash a stock ftf which doesn't require recovery.

They say it's easy but I'm going on 2 months. Still no root. Well I have Chinese crappie root. Dude I still have no clue and I have a new phone that came with 4.3 jellybean. And I was told that's the easiest firmware to root.

TWRP FOR ALL SM-G318 SERIES( like SM-G318H or SM-G318MZ or SM-G318HZ )
All credit goes here : http://www.phonandroid.com/forum/galaxy-ace-4-neo-sm-g318h-t142379.html
Press THANK Button if it work for u :good:
(IMPORTANT)Before doing anything u need to:
-HAVE EXACT SAME MODEL (SM-G318 Series Line-up Model) and TO BE ROOTED.
The only way to get root is by flashing the Pre-rooted Firmware by Andro-Man: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/pre-rooted-firmwares-samsung-sm-g318hz-t3230844
Warning!
if u have latest stock rom with "ASKS Security"....before doing any root method,pls downgrade to the older version of stock rom.
How to know if u have "ASKS Security" installed ?
-Go to Settings > About Phone > Find "ASKS Security Version"
If dont have it then u are on the old version of stock rom and can do any root method without any problem.
it is because if u do that u will get stuck on Logo when u boot for example "Galaxy V Plus" because i have sm-g318hz device.
i have experience this problem when i try flashing prerooted rom when i have "ASKS Security" installed on my sm-g318hz.

Did you follow the steps carefully ?
Most people getting this worked....
Did you try any custom recovery before ?
I want you to reflash the recovery again.

I tried to reflash a couple of times, but it didnt work
Then i flash a pre-rooted firmware, extract the recovery.img and flash it via flashfire, then i got twrp
Now that i got a way to get root + twrp everything is fine but not the way i thought though

Root worked for me, so TWRP should work too.
Enviado de meu SM-A9000 usando Tapatalk
I have SM-G318HZ
I follow your instruction in ODIN
but twrp is not installed.
it still gives me the stock recovery.
any idea?
i tried KingRoot,KnigoRoot,vRoot,Root Genius,framaroot, LG One Click Root ( Both Android and pc version ) but still cant root k130e. so how can i root this device?
is this device have TWRP or other Custom Recovery for flash it and then use SuperSu.zip for root?
no ppl have solution for this? i have an k4 m160 lg device, maybe the solution is the same.
Flash only Boot.Img of other KDZ
