I walked my friend through obtaining S-OFF and Root on his EVO 3D earlier and decided to record it. It is rather long because I went through all of the steps, including installing the Android SDK. I figured I would share this with everyone since it might help someone with the process.

Worked great, the easiest way to learn is wo watch others do it. Thanks
Thank you for posting these. Your instructions were really clear and easy!
One Question: You first instruct to download the Android SDK zip file - what was the purpose of that ? I dont think it was mentioned in the root process after downloading it..
Thanks again.

I advised him to install the Android SDK because I thought that the ClockWorkMod recovery process was going to fail, as it did when I used it. We would have needed the Fastboot command from the SDK to push the TeamWin Recovery.
I updated the original post with a newer video for the TeamWin Recovery Installation instructions. It should make it a bit simpler since it doesn't require any fastboot commands.
The youtube video I found isn't thurrow enough for me to understand, if someone can either direct me to a much easier video to comprehend or in steps on this thread how to unlock it and then root the device itself. Thanks!
EDIT: I have a T-Mobile LG Optimus L9 P769 if that help's any. Thanks for any responses!
EDIT2: Also I tried this with my phone and all it does is reboot it, so at this point, I do not want to either soft brick my phone to the point of no return, or just break my phone. So any help would be nice, thanks once more!

Whatever I give up on trying to unlock the bootloader on this, I'm not smart enough to follow any tutorials or anything, and no one is going to help me anyways, and all there going to say if someone DOES reply is "use the search" or this or that, whatever. I'll just leave it as stock and use the phone like it is.
Unlocking bootloader for P769 is hard. I assume the youtube video you mentioned is from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277639
This post is the most complete tutorial on the topic, and this is the only method that works so far. The method in your "Edit 2" only works for P760 (so it's bad it self-claims to work for all L9 variants). If you feel the youtube video is too hard for you to follow, giving up is not too bad.

That's weird, says it works with all L9's. Guess it lied. I got my device rooted but I want to unroot it now. :L
For unroot you must reflash firmware with kdz

Nope, I found another way cuz I'm good like that. All you gotta do is install SuperSU and go into settings and look for permanant "UNROOT", then it unrooted me, I even checked and it said Not Rooted. Thank you SuperSU

This phone is a lot more useful with root, but if you are happy without it ehh. Are you on 20f kdz? If so, you can add move to sd with root and remove root, and it will stay after you unroot.

I tried adding those "two lines" to the build.prop but it wouldn't save what do I use to edit the build.prop so it will save without errors? Or to flash scripts? I tried smanager but it didn't work, any other choices?
EDIT: Yeah I'm on 20f but I don't use kdz , I got it OTA.

I tested it and it adds it to the build.prop but it doesn't work, when I try to move a downloaded app to the SD Card, it says "Cannot move app". Thanks anyways
What I like about it though is the backup feature, that's cool if I want to go back to my old build.prop if it doesn't work.

Will you be updating these to include instructions for users with 10o update (shoved down their throats by AT&T with no way to cancel or reject the update, like myself) Now with no easy way to root+twrp this device. Without twrp or cwm, there is no way I am going to be experimenting with roms. :crying: There a lot of different responses and varied results in thet "root your G2" and "Installing TWRP on G2 all versions" threads. Some people get bricks while some can flash it smoothly, it seems nobody knows what is the difference that' causing this inconsistency.
This is for the Verizon version. Thanks to @bender_007 for the hard work.

Instructions & Info
Reboot apk
Worked flawlessly!!
I don't need this but it looks like it helped a lot of people based off the comments on the app. You're getting a thanks just for that!
Nice! I'm not afraid of using ADB methods, but this will be convenient to use and I can walk my dad through installing this over the phone.
What's the method for KK?

No issues at all after using it. However, kingroot will install its own superuser app and I have not been able to replace it with supersu (It should be possible with a custom recovery).
Root works fine without supersu but you could try following these instructions after you root if you want to get rid of king root: http://www.yomitech.com/2015/02/how-to-replace-kinguser-with-supersu.html
I got root failed with king root?!?! edit: I used kingo root and that worked. You know if xposed works on this tablet.

I forgot to mention that I did not allow the software update to run before I used king root. That could be the only difference between the 2 tablets. I won't try Xposed until we at least get a custom recovery

I hope there's some development for this tablet.
Have had mine since release and I love it I own a Nexus7 2013 and it is as fast as that one , it so far has handled all the emulator games I have thrown at it like a champ I have loaded N64 games and some NDS games I got and has played them great. Also I love the fact I was able to add a 64GB micro in for extra storage well worth the 199.00$ price tag!
Got rooted with KingRoot and later replaced with SuperSu
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61168022&postcount=30
Didn't try Xposed yet, but should work under SuperSu
Give exposed a try and let us know if it works. Thanks
I used King root and it worked just fine...until my son used it and did an update. Now it is bricked. Here's hoping that it becomes popular enough to have its own forum and someone creates a decent ROM for it.
For the price it has good (enough) resolution, color and speed.
Have you tried holding power and volume up for about 10 seconds to get into recovery and do wipe/reset?
I did. I can get into recovery, did wipe and restored factory but nothing. It looks like the files created by kingroot were not compatible with the update.
BTW sent a PM

I just got this tablet and it's pretty f'n sweet. I want to do my usual Root/ROM dance but I am not gonna touch it just yet. I am gonna wait until there's some real dev work (done by trusted devs) behind the solutions.
