Towelroot says "Device not supported" - LG G2 Mini

I've been a LG G2 Mini owner for like a month and I'm eager to get into the rooting business cause of the fuzzines that is caused from the LG UI. I have a minor problem though. Everyone seems to use towelroot for instant rooting and everyone is getting the confirmation message right away. Well when I press "make it rain" its says "Device not supported". What should I do? Also do I need to have unlocked bootloader do use towelroot first? The unlock bootloader process seems tricky at the moment for our phones and I'm hesitating to do it.

I don't know why you receive the message "Device not supported" but for sure you don't need to unlock the boot loader.
My phone is rooted with towel root but the boot loader still locked

I've tried the Stump method Vaggelis(I'm greek too and glad to meet one at this particular corner of XDA) with both the 1.0 and 1.2 apk files says "devices not supported" again. Note that i'm on V10h soft version.
Furthermore when I'm trying to do the G2 method(the second link) I'm getting this:

Which version do you have Tegra or Qualcomm? Different hardware versions, gets different root methods

Same here - warranty replacement now not taking root with Towelroot
Had older version VS980, got warranty replacement sent. Towelroot worked flawlessly on previous phone, now not supported on this device. See attached. Help?

You should ask at your device's forum or at TowelRoot' s thread.

As far as I know, newest software update blocks this methods.
Before updating, I rooted my D620r with TowelRoot v1 with no problems. Now, I've updated to V10e and both Towel and Stump says "device unsupported".

LG G2 Mini
vers:LG-D620r
app: V10g-226-03
towelroot v1 rooted
After installing Towelroot receive this error message after 20 seconds
Unfortunately, the towelroot stopped!
What should I do to the phone model or what is the solution if ROOT to work?
There's something new on the root process?

You have to use the oldest root method which was availble for D620 - flash update.zip from EXT3 formatted sdcard using stock recovery.

Yes you can. If you have the D625 LTE version, you should try version 1 instead of the newest.

Did you try the other versions of Towelroot? Certain ones work better with certain versions of the phone and updates. If not that, possible that the older method via update.zip in stock recovery could work: http://hexamob.com/devices/how-to-root-lg-g2-mini/ or a bit more difficult but end result being that you can also install a custom recovery and root that way or install roms would be to unlock the bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/bootloader-unlock-t2827748 . Might want to check with the OP to see if your update is supported by that method, just to be certain.

Hello
I had a stock rom rooted.
I unlocked bootloader yesterday, installed trwp recovery and CM12 to test lolipop.
Now rootchecker says the phone is not rooted and when i try to use purpledrake, the phone is detected, then when necessary reboots (but in trwp mode ?) and root can't apply.
Any clue ?

[Q] How can i root LG G2 MINI 5.0.2?

Hello guys!
Having recently updated a lollipop my LG G2 Mini D620 LTE no brand with KDZ file available on the network, I was wondering if you could do a root on the device to be able to uninstall any application annoying and increase processor speed "1.2 Ghz- -> 1.4 Ghz"
Also, I would prefer not to use the apk KIngroot because reading, I noticed that send some sensitive data on your smartphone in a remote server ...
Thanking you in advance, I offer a warm greeting!
Kingroot is the only method who worked for me so far.
And a simple root app can't overclock the CPU. You need a custom kernel. Bootloader and recovery work for Lollipop, but there still isn't any kernel compatible with that release. Give the developers some time.

Lg g3 5.1.1 lolipop root acess tutorial

Ok so if you want to root the LG G3 running 5.1.1 here's how.
Note: I am not responsible for what might happen to your phone by following this guide.
Also i don't know about carriers other than Verizon since i have a Verizon g3.
so if someone could confirm if this works on the others i will update this post to confirm.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KingRoot will root almost Any Android device with One Click! Do this at your own risk. This is a proprietary Chinese app with no source code released. Check app permissions before installing. If you aren't comfortable you can wait on a different root method for your exact device. This does not appear to be malicious.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOW TO THE GUIDE...
1. Go to google on your mobile and search king root and click on the kingroot website. ( NOTE: i can't post links outside of xda until I reach 10 posts.) I will update this with a link soon.
2. Download and install the kingroot app file. NOTE: Check allow apps from unkown sources in settings.
3. Once you have installed it, open the app and click root. NOTE: Click root anyway if you see it.
4. Now after that go to the play store and download root checker by jrummy.
5. After that just open the app and click verify root. You should be greeted with a root request screen. Just click yes and you're done!
Will this work for Verizon LG G3 running same software version?

Because it modifies the system partition files, the only way to return to stock so that it doesn't say "modified" is to reimage using the KDZ or TOT method.
This is not the instructions, now brush version number of 35b the kdz after you can direct access to root privileges? If so, it too good! Thank!!!

How to root Sony Xperia C4 and possibly other devices

I tried now rooting this model for a long time, I finally found a way of doing it.
1: Install Kingo root app from here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwOSXw-lPe-mZWxPQ0lXc3pqcnc/view?usp=docslist_api and run it (it will fail to root).
2: UNINSTALL Kingo app.
3: Now install kingroot app from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=17287 and run it.

You're welcome!
I recommend replacing kingroot with Supersu because some people find it a little shady, also it runs in the background all the time which could potentially reduce battery life

I have sony c4 dual E5333 witn android 6.0.1. When I type in code *#*#7378423#*#* and go to root in the menu, it says my bootloader can't be unlocked so I cannot root the phone. Is there any file I can flash to overwrite the bootloader and flash new rom then. Nothing works. The all say unlock code is useless if the the bootloader can't be unlocked, I have tried it and it says the bootloader cannot be unlocked using flashtool. Can anyone help me get around this. The upgrade to 6.0.1 has messed with my gsm settings which means I cannot receive mms at all anymore.
Using sony companion to repair the software bricked my phone so it had to be sent to sony to reload the software and still I cannot receive mms.
Cant downgrade the software either.
Can anyone tell me how do I get around this bootloader that cant be unlocked please or how do I override/overwrite the boatloader to unlock it??
