Hello guys, since the last tutorial I posted was really popular I decided to post another one for my other phone, the LG G2. You don't even need to use any command prompt for this. The only problem is that this is chinese language, so you have to click the exact buttons.
1. Download this file: https://tr.im/64637 <--- HELP ME! OR http://goo.gl/U6Jwaf
2. Install the software, using the installation buttons as you would on any other windows installation.
3. When you have installed it, you will see a green button, press it. Then connect your phone.
4. When the phone is connected the software will recognize the phone and the green button will show "ROOT", click on it.
5. The phone is going to be rooted in some seconds and the process is finished when it will show a tick on the software.
6. The phone will reboot.
7. When it is rebooted, go to google play and download super su.
8. Open super su and it will ask you to update the binaries, and you must click on update, and then normal.
9. A window in chinese will pop up on the phone, this is the screen that allows you to give root permissions to any app. You must click the button on the right.
10. You are done! Root process is complete!
11. This is the most important step. Leave a thanks! If you liked the tutorial, please show it to me!
EXTRA: Video for "visual" learners!

Post below if you have questions or don't understand.
EDIT: I know you guys might not trust this, but I used it and it worked perfectly. There aren't any problems with this root, and there are no viruses on my PC that I know of. And I regularly scan my PC.
If you want to see my other thread, about 100 people replied and most of them successfully rooted their phone!
I believe that this isn't a virus. If you don't want to use it, don't. But trust me it works and nothing happened to me!

I don't think the issue is that this may be a virus. But, the root process gathers critical phone information (IMEI ans serial number) and sends it back to a server.

Yeah may be, I don't think so, nothing bad has happened to my IMEI or Serial. I still think that you can use this, because many thousands have and none have reported anything bad. What if the data being sent was only information for statistical purpose?
I just used it on the latest update d80010q and worked great. Ioroot did not work. Thanks for posting!

No problem guys!
Just an update on the VROOT/KINGO rooting program.
We have been in contact wit KINGO Software and have received the following response..
Once we received your letter, we realized the seriousness of this whole IMEI issue and we removed it from our code right away.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Again this was from KINGO not VROOT.
VROOT has not been in contact with us.
USE THIS SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I suggest using the newest version of KINGO if no XDA developed method works.
In past versions of both softwares there was XDA dev's work (without credits)
If you use this and find out that someone on the other side of the world has a phone with your IMEI # and your phone no longer works, then you have been warned.

I think that VROOT aswell will take it away if we ask them... but anyway I don't really think they are going to do something bad with the IMEIs..

We did ask already
We had contacted both KINGO & VROOT at the same time.
Kingo has been responsive and made the necessary changes to comply with the XDA rules.
We have not heard ANYTHING from VROOT.
At that time both software's were the same (almost identical). We were thinking that they are a part of the same group.
I still recommend that you use a method developed here on XDA, or the newest version of Kingo's software
However it is your choice.
Thanks for the cooperation on this matter,

Yes I have noted similiarities within the two websites... I really hope that VROOT proceedes to take the IMEI down aswell... although I really don't think that something bad is going to happen; many people have done it and until now there haven't been reports of IMEI misuse... I could be wrong though they may do it in the future, but for now i think it's safe.
Anyone else tried it?
Why don't people just use towelroot?
- download app from Internet
- install on phone
- start app
- click the button "make it rain"
- finished, you just got root

Probably not quite so simple. Currently rooting the X10 involves entering three commands into a terminal on your computer, booting your phone into recovery mode, and pressing a button on the phone during step 2. The terminal commands could be called from a GUI app that would simplify that and there might be a way to have adb reboot the phone into recovery mode, but there's still a bit of interaction you need to do with the phone yourself.

It's already too easy, and if you can't figure it out, it's probably a dangerous idea to root it because you could ruin your phone easily and most likely not know how to repair it.

The Process to root the X10 isn't too hard with a little bit understanding. If someone can't figure it out , he doesn't need root.
Just my 2cent no offense.
Agreed. This is already simple IF you know your way around a computer just a little. It is well explained and now with video tutorials if you still can't manage to do it, don't do it. Keep your phone up to date, you don't need anything more at this point. No offense intended here too
We are not able to create a one-touch root ATM.
And even if we would be able, why should we do? This Root is easy! The only problems here are driver issues and DeviceID problems.
So for everyone this is not simple enough its a good idea so stay on stock firmware.
A little interaction with phone is good at all, because you learn much about this progress if you just read in the files we provide (thats another reason we released this in batch format).
So just read a bit and you will see how simple the whole idea and the process is!
If you are not expert enough to understand whats happening i'm not sure if you really need root then
Best Regards
Bin4ry
Some people are lazy to figure out the steps.
Dont overfeed them too much.
I tried all the process of rooting on X10 up to the first root batch, the one with long method up to this date of root and its very easy. There are Tutorials and Video.
No, we are not lazy but affraid to break the phone. Ive had OmniaHD before X10 and there was custom ROMs from the man called HyperX that was only double click and connect the phone. I am not saying that those guys didnt make this as simple as they can but there are 100 of problems and tutorials, there are some decrypted ROMS and Official ROMs, there are methods that need Device-ID number and other that does not need that...so, I am reading all of this since root was official and I cannot find one way that is said to be the best and with no problems.
Also: how do I get my ROM that is on the phone on my computer in case I need it back for warranty reasons ? What method is the best to put newer ROM., there is SEUS and other one. Can we put clean official 020 ROM right on the phone and not by UK 016 and then update ?
I mean, there are million questions that we are trying to answer by reading this forum. I admire you guys because this is easy for you but please, be patient with us, programing idiots , there are people that only want better phone and have no clue in programing, like me for instance...cos I only want to remove Moxier and Quadrapop, only for that I want root, nothing else.
Cheers
then simply follow my provided steps and you will have R2 Rom with root.
Afterwards you can deleted moxier and quadrapop.
Just understand: I cannot be made easyer !!!!!!!
The exoploit works like this:
You flash a "old" R1 firmware -> Do the fota -> Copy over some stuff like su and superuser.apk
For now its the easyest way to do.
If we manage to flash customs it wouldnt be much easyer to do oO
Regards
Bin4ry
Yes its lazy. Because some people are lazy understanding ROOT and How it is done.
If you read it carefully and understand it briefly you will not get it bricked and know your mistakes and how solve it.
Plus you can't get satisfaction on doing it easily. Hard work is a good feeling
Tnx a lot for instructions but they are pretty short
New instructions for FULL R2BA023 ROOT
Step 1
Flash Rom with preferred method!
+++++What method ? I cannot find DeviceID in my registry, I have tried to find it with my phone connected on my PC and when it is not connected and there is no that string when I type that in search. Then, can I flash it with Omnius without this DeviceID number ?
Step 2
First startup the phone and activate USB-Debugging:
Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging!
run step 2 and select "update from sdcard" on phone
+++++when to connect the phone ? Turn the phone ON and go to USB debugging -> run step2.cmd -> connect the phone ? -> hit update from SDCard on the phone
Step 3
run step 3 and will root your phone
+++++phone is connected the whole time from step2.cmd ?
ATTENTION: If you have X10i you are DONE!
+++++You see, we need instructions like a blind man ) If I have done it I would write them really step by step so that little kid could do it.
Tnx a lot for your hard work !
Geez gaining root on the x10 was soooooo much easier than gaining root on the HTC Dream (g1)
Pretty much as everyone else has said if you find these simple steps to gain root difficult then maybe you shouldn't be doing it because really it's quite simple.
I've done everything the right way and i don't seem to be suffering from any of the problems everyone else is getting.
The best way to root is on a 32bit os (will save the hassles with 64bit java)
and if you can't find your device id install Seus and boot phone into flash mode then try and find device id again.
I wonder if it's possible to have all these excess How to root and Custom rom threads removed ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907
Read the instructions if you get stuck re-read the instructions again then if you're still stuck search the forums/thread as i'm sure someone else has asked the same question and has had a answer.
seriously people if you struggle with three steps (or five if on x10a) then you really shouldn't be doing this, the steps are pretty self explanatory. If you still want root after all the warnings gotten off here then here's a video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AZ_10cvd9k
Just do as he does if still you cant do it then put the phone away and find yourself and old SE T18, it may be more suited.

Get SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) from sony ericsson website, through their update things. Install it, and update your phone through that. That will give you device drivers, and then your deviceID should be in registry.
'What method?' The files are the first links in the guide.

Yes.
The thing is, these guys are experts. When you have an expert writing a guide, a lot of things are assumed that you'd know. For example, there's no need to explain what is meant by 'run step2.cmd' But for someone who doesn't know anything, you'd have to tell them to 'double click the file' Same thing as explaining to someone they have to extract the downloaded files.
I understand what you mean though, there's some gaps in the guide that could be helpful if they were filled up, but hopefully they will get polished after they're done figuring out all the updates happening. For example, new 020 firmware just got released for X10a, so now they have to add that on and maybe change some steps for X10a users. And optimally they'd wanna be able to get custom ROMs working, so they'll need to redo the guide again.
Tnx a lot for your help, I have managed to get it working. Yes, instructions should be step-by-step but not "double clikc this" detailed
Cheers
I'm thinking of what problems would be there if we had released root in the hard way we had before ?!
Everyone wants us to release after we annouced and we always said its too hard
And now this easy three steps are too complicated for some of you.
Seriously :
Just look in the batch files to understand what is going on, you really need no diploma to understand what basic commands are running inside our files. And if you will take a look most of your questions are answered by itsself.

So i managed to root my N9977 this is how:
Download this rar first: www.anniblue.com/xda/rootingn9977.rar
1. Enable usb debugging and connect the phone to your pc.(win xp/ wista/ 7/ 8)
2. Install Snappea and download the usb driver within Snappea, when the phone is recognized, pls turn Snapped off and click do not remember it
3. Go to pc task manager- process- kill wandoujia helper.
4. Extract MTK6577 One Key Root to your pc, and click one key root.bat, then press enter on your keyboard then on your phone there should pop up a restore screen choose restore My Data (No need to type the password). Then the phone will auto reboot twice.
Meanwhile do not touch anything on your phone or pc, or the phone will get bricked.
5. Check menu- if there is an “#” icon, if yes, it’s rooted, or do it again.
The one key root.bat is all in Chinese or some strange language but no need to do anything but click enter after you open it. Then after its installed you will get a Chinese superuser apk but just download superuser from play store and run a binary update in the new one and you'll be fine
Enjoy
I got this from the fascardtech tech support but I had to rewrite the guide as it seemed translated with Google from Chinese.

You tried stump root? It works with just about any other android 4.4 lg phone. (Check out this thread.)

Did you enable USB Debugging? Did you see the prompt to accept the RSA key on the phone when you plug it in? Often time on LGs it pops up behind the screen that shows up to select MTP/PTP/Charging modes and it's easy to miss it. Sometimes you have to toggle through all the modes to get it to pop up. Thinking about it now...I know a lot of LGs for VZW need to be in...Internet Tethering mode? or whatever it is they call it, for root stuff to work, so might have something to do with that mode loading the correct drivers for adb.

Clicking on random shortened url links and downloading random crap on a video with no comments and hardly any views? Sounds totally legit bro.
I have seen all the posts about being able to root Lolipop 5.0.1 with Kingroot. When I try this on my phone, it fails over and over. Any suggestions?
I've tried everything I can think of and tried what others have suggested. I can't get the apk or the windows version to work. Personally I'm a bit leary of Kingroot anyway.

At least you are not the only one having the problem as I thought I was.
If you're on OF1, I believe Kingroot isnt working currently. OC1 works from experience and people on the forums on the desktop. Check your build number. If on OC1, maybe you didn't turn on USB debugging?
I wish I could say it was something as simple as USB debugging. I'm on OC1 and took the update from 4.4.2 via Kies. That was my fault. My understanding was by doing that or taking the OTA update from Verizon it permenantly locks the bootloader.
I've tried every version of Kingmaster...apk will get to 52% and stop. The only thing I can think of is that I have not clicked the correct buttons on the PC version which is very possible. I have yet to find any English instructions for it. If anyone has them detailed please send.
Thanks

I get the same thing. Kingroot gets to around 50% and then quits. I do feel that nothing is permanent, and with all the savvy techies out there, someone will figure out some sort of exploit. It is unfair for Verizon to lock down their phones to discourage people from switching carriers.
Well, read the EULA..
That said, Kingroot is still hit and miss.on OC1. OF1 came out in the past few weeks so I wouldn't expect anything for atleast a month.
Yep. It's unfortunate. For me, the reason I need to root is that I can't send texts with Tmo Simi a Verizon phone. This only happens on Tmo 4G. When signal drops to 3G or E, I can send text. I thought I would switch the antenna setting to stay on 3G. There is another post about this workaround somewhere on this forum.
Oh well. Maybe I'll find someone to trade me for a Tmobile S4.
Hello, I've tried running the apk of KingRoot on OC1 and it gets to usually 33% before its done so no root here either. I tried to download the desktop version and it won't even come up, so I guess we're stuck for now. I'm like a few others here, I don't fully trust KingRoot so I hope someone way smarter than me can come up with a program to root!

I tested on my OC1, KingRoot is working perfectly. I can't root it initially, but after changing another computer it works brilliantly this morning
Lots of people have talked about success with OC1 and Kingroot. Doesn't appear to work with OF1 though.
Sounds great...can you let us know the exact steps? I'll give it another shot. For me I guess since it's not in English I have found it tough.

I was in the same boat a week or so ago. I had been rooted but had a problem trying to flash another rom. I had to Odin back to stock but when I tried to root again the kingroot app no longer works. This is what worked for me. I went to the kingroot site and let Google translate the home page. You have to download the root installer zip, which to me, was the hardest part. I just used trial and error by clicking on boxes on the installer page until I got it downloaded. If needed I can download it again and post the methods, step by step.

I'll give it another look. I tried Google Translate but it's still doesn't completely translate. ..at least for me. I just find it odd that there is not at least clear English instructions somewhere. Even if it was just a listing of screen shots.

Initially I was having the same issue while using KingRoot. This was what I did to make it work:
1. Uninstall KingRoot, restart your computer
2. Re-download kingroot from kingroot.net, choose " [windows logo] 下载电脑版本 "
3. Install KingRoot, run it
4. Turn on I545 usb debugging, plug in to your computer and you will see kingroot is running.
5. After loading you will see some chinese words 尚未Root。。。。。 or 发现新的root档案 。。。。 etc, click on the green button to start rooting and you will get it done.
6. I successfully have done more than 300pc I545 yesterday, however, sometimes if it keeps on loading without rooting what you need to do is to restart your computer and re-do it again
I can understand chinese, you may show me picture if you need me to translate
I'm going to try that method when I get home from work today. The app doesn't work for me and the desktop I was having issues with but resolved those by uninstalling KingRoot then downloading it again . It ran that time but never rooted, must've ran the desktop version close to 10 times with no luck. The program tried to root, it would run for about 5-10 minutes then it would show a pic of a phone with a red X on the screen, no root.
I think this is the problem...I see no green button when Kingroot loads and I've plugged my phone in.

I tried again probably 15 times. Uninstalled,reinstalled,shut down PC several times, it just does not work. I don't know what's going on but I can't get it to root. The desktop version gets to about 60% every time before saying no root. Once again a no go but I am curious to see if anyone else is still being successful at it. I almost thought that maybe Kingroot took down the root for the S4 for some reason, not sure why they'd do that but its a possibility I guess.
Kingroot worked for me...

i got my S4 like 2 months ago with of course lollipop 5.0.1 installed and I had to try rooting via Kingroot several times before the root was successful except now i soft-bricked de-rooting to install an update. I believe i read somewhere to keep trying and it eventually works, i used the PC version of Kingroot. Good luck

Hi, I'm having issues with step 5. There isn't any green button that comes up. The first time I run the kingroot after reinstalling it, it shows just a blue button after thinking for several seconds.
(I can't figure out how to attach an image to my post, and apperently links aren't allowed either...) i.imgur.com/8BilQtT.png
After clicking the blue button, it goes to this screen: i.imgur.com/wScf2TT.png
There's a checkmark there, but my phone is not rooted. It did install KrHelper4Pc to my phone though.
Subsequent runs of kingroot (without reinstalling) show this after thinking for several seconds: i.imgur.com/HVmqOLm.png
I've tried this several times and the exact same thing happens each time.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/lgvs425pp-optimus-zone-3-stock-t3515462
############################################################################
Ok Lets Begin !!!
WHAT YOU NEED :
1: A WINDOWS P.C WITH WORKING ADB.
2: PP2 SOFTWARE VERSION AND LGUP ALONG WITH LGUP COMMON DLL DOWNLOADED FROM HERE:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1Sfod4HWfk2MUwxNk1oeXJCZEE?usp=sharing
3: MY ROOT PACKAGE AND INSTRUCTIONS {ZONE3_ROOT.ZIP} DOWNLOAD FROM MY DEVELOPMENT SERVER HERE:
link updated
https://yadi.sk/d/OWWUDrxQ3PwRUW
4: PATIENCE
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
---------------------------------HOW-TO------------------------------------
Ok so what you need to do is go get all those files I mentioned first.
Then setup your adb and get that working, Next you want to setup LGuP
For your device. if you have problems there is a nice tool to automagically get lgup working called "UpperCut" by an xda member @autoprime
so you can get that here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/uppercut-lgup-loader-g5-variants-t3511295
once youve set that up unzip Zone3_Root.zip to desktop open admin command prompt "windows-key + x" I believe and change directory to unzipped Zone3_Root
Now open Zone3_Root on your desktop there is a rich-text document that I have prepared with exact instructions for rooting, it's called { README }
open that.
now you must downgrade your device software to pp2 version{VS425PP2}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE:** If your device has pp5 software version you have an extra step, you must flash to pp8 or pp7... let it get to the red verizon screen and soon as it go's to android optimizing apps pull battery re-enter download mode and then flash pp2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok so that went well but now right after flashing pp2 you will have bootloops. It will bootloop for a few minutes then eventually it will boot to verizons red screen.
( This is because of the modem firmware )
after it finishes booting you must connect to wifi and finish or skip through the Setup wizard, once you've done that and you are looking at the home screen go to settings and enable developers options, enable usb debugging turn off anything about verifying sources there and in Settings-->Security
Next make sure your device is recognized by ADB
now Go back to that README from the Zone3_Root.zip
follow instructions precicely and your all set with root. we flash the correct firmware for the modem partitions to the correct places.
we use the folder labled ( mrw ) to replace king root with @Chainfire SuperSU.
and then you can enjoy stable root access without bootloops and now you can go find other ways to break your phone !
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SPECIAL THANKS TO @Motojunki01 For advice file-hosting and donating a brand new Zone3 for this project
Thanks to @Chainfire for SuperSU
Thanks to all who have spent countless hours fooling with lg up and Blindly flashing the krazy krap I've come up with in the effort to fix the bootloops and such.

can i get the root package free of charge. im a homeless man. unemployed. i would like to root my zone 3 to remove bloatware so i can download episodes of the inhumans
your telling me i went through over 100 XDA posts and hours of reading and research on how to root the VS425PP7 a $29.88 phone at walmart as of today just to "donate" $20.00 to you guys to get instructions on how to root the thing. In my opinion that's is CLEARLY messed up i get you guys spent money time effort and sweat getting there, Believe me we are thankful, but hell we almost paid that much for the phone! in my regards disrespectful asking to "donate" to get how to root the phone.

My Zone 3 came with pp8 installed
I've tried several times to " let it get to the red verizon screen and soon as it go's to android optimizing apps pull battery re-enter download mode and then flash pp2"
but every time I finish downgrading to PP2 all I get is a white screen with various black patterns...
Does this mean that my phone can not be rooted?

I spent over $110 .00 on Zone3 test devices out of my pocket and had to have a few donated to get this working universally across all devices.
of those devices only one still works at all.
so Hell Yeah you can support our research and we'll guarantee your pp7 rooted remotely over a teamviewer connection to your windows pc.
BUT since you sir are disrespectful to devs trying to fund research to do EXACTLY what you DON'T have the intelligence or tenacity to do your self
I would recomend you stay FAR AWAY from trying to root your device and don't bother asking us... price for you went up to $50
However.
if you don't own a PP5 specific device and are smart enough to follow instructions the updated links here in this thread can get you rooted for free....
thanks for trashing an informative thread

NO
on the devices that go all screwy on the graphics theres only one option .
our newest kit available through donation at our site.
to get rid of the graphics problem just flash stock pp8 .kdz back to device you won't be rooted but will have working fone.
sorry the old method wouldn't work for you...
however the donate only method will work for you. only thing is it cost's $20 at our site.

Thanks for the reply
I can go back and forth from PP8 TO PP2, PP4 & PP7 no problem
The problem for me is that only PP8 & PP7 have a visible screen
PP4 & PP2 both have the zebra print screens and they just continually reboot... I don't understand how you could root this phone if my phone is failing on one the first steps.
I feel like my best bet would be to buy a different phone... I don't use this phone as my main phone, I just use it as a podcast/music player
The only reason I wanted root was YouTube Ad away & YouTube Background play

xposed running fine and able to root every model of zone3 i've come against....
YouTube Ad away & YouTube Background play work great too and even luckypatcher is working great.
if it's not worth it to you I understand.
but if you want us to crack it for you it'll take teamviewer and lgup installed on your windows PC
and a $20 dollar donation to
[email protected] on paypal
there's a post somewhere on xda where I offered half-price thursdays and if you can find it and quote it to me on a thursday we still honor that.
also if your worried we can't root it. and your worried you'll pay for nothing we give moneyback guarantee if device proves in good working order and all PC components are working and we still can't root it...
We Are Confident
I even root the PP5 with this and it was not rootable the other ways either .
Thanks for your Interest and thanks for reading XDA
