Hello.. For the past week i have been trying to root my LG G2 Verizon (VS980). I have tried TowelRoot, and IROOT 10, and IROOT 25. They have all told me that my device is either not supported, or if it does work it will boot into a black screen (the part where i have to select install from adb, basically the recovery menu is. black). What should i do i really want to root my phone.

You should let us know which build of the software you are on (not just the Android version) before we can find the correct method.

Hey, thank you for your response! My device is now rooted thanks to your help!
Another thing... Would you happen to know why after i rooted my device, my phone is starting to lag a bit? The only things i installed were DSPLOIT, Freedom, and Busybox.

Seems odd. Those things don't typically produce lag, especially on a newer device like that. Have you rebooted a couple of times? Might want to check this out too:
http://www.andromods.com/tips-trick/fix-lg-g2-lag-free-fix-for-vzw-att-tmobile-sprint.html
Seems like some G2s have issues with the settings being too aggressive with temperature throttling and/or the CPU governor.

Did any one use the z4root to root the LGP500 ?
Is this a fail-safe method to root this phone? If not is there one?
I'm a bit afraid to root it, because I have bought it recently and I do not what to turn it in to a brick
The software version of my phone is LG-P500-V10b Android 2.2
Thanks
Nothing is fail-safe.
That's why developers aren't reponsibles if you brick your device.
There is allways that chance.
I used the universal root and everything is working well.
If you are noob in this area, just read a litle more about using abd and flashing shipped ROMs.
Cheers
I had a Windows mobile before.. but in Android yes I'm a noob
In Linux I con not say that I'm 100% noob, but close to that.
So some noob questions:
What is "adb"? and
What is universal root? Is what this link talks about ?
Thx

Rooting itself is not problem I think. But, more possible problem can come with other solutions like firmware update/rewrite, flashing of custom ROM. For what do you need rooting?

Not for flashing...
Some apps can only be used in a rooted phone.
So my purpose is only to use these apps, not for flashing the phone with other ROMs
Rooted today
I just rooted today, Sunday, December 5 2010, an Optimus One which I have under t-mobile, using z4root. No problems at all. In fact, my only worry was that it might not have been correctly rooted because all I had to do was press a button, it restarts and that's it. Nothing else. I then removed all bloatware and the retarded unremovable trial version of pacman.
I have v10 and had downloaded all over the air upgrades that I had received up to that point, and it still worked perfectly. Also, I have Froyo.

So, in this case I thing that most better way is using of z-Root. There shouldn't be problem at all.

Welcome to the ROOT Team
Neither the z4root or the universal root worked for me on my girlfriends Optimus. z4root simply didn't work... tried about 5 times with no success. The Universal root stopped responding pretty much immediately. I'm pretty sure I followed directions to a "T". Anyone have suggestions?

That's the one that stops responding everytime I try it. I see ADB listed twice in the task manager... is that normal? As soon as ADB starts running is when it stops responding.

hmm.. do you have lg pc suite? it contains usb drivers for the optimus one.. without those you can't root.
superoneclick method:
turn on in phone settings, applications, develop, usb debugging
connect phone.. don't go into usb storage option (don't mount sd card).
right click on .exe -> run as administrator if you haven't.
and if you are on windows 7 or vista try to set compatibility options.
click root.
sorry if i tell you what you already know, but maybe it helps.
I downloaded the drivers from LG website for the Optimus One, run Superoneclick as administrator using Windows 7 64, checked usb debugging on the phone, etc. I have no idea why this is not working for me. I had no problems rooting my MyTouch Slide, which is pretty complex compared to this. My girlfriend says she doesn't care if I figure it out since its her phone, but the man in me just HAS to figure it out HAHA.
It's weired, I had no problem to root my phone using z4root.
I was on stock V10A (Europa) and z4root worked very well. I had upgraded to V10D using LG's crappy software, and after rooting it again with z4root it was well working.
Have you tried to use LG's firmware instead of the operator's one ?
I finally got it rooted using z4root. Said to myself that I would try "one more time" and POOF... it worked. Thanks everyone for your help.
Hey guys, i have a huge problem with my Lg g2 (international version),
I've rooted it and flash cwm on it.

Works perfect!
I am on ZV6, I used the one click method (post #2 in the op link). Then i used flashify and downloaded the recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966096 and made a backup. Haven't gotten a chance to try a custom rom, but just wanted to share my results!
Great work to everyone who found this method! Was super easy and took about 5 minutes.

Confirmed where, and by whom, exactly? I've done this root method a dozen or more times so far in the past two weeks on several devices and not had one instance of any issues, there are no unwanted malware apps installed on said devices, no screwy services running that shouldn't be there or exist at all, and so on.
Looking over the lg_root.sh script offers nothing that can be installed on the device OR on Windows so that's a wash there too.
You sure your machine wasn't just basically pooched to begin with 'cause there's really nothing in this method that can screw up a Windows installation...
Can anyone confirm that this works for ZV8?
Yes it works... There is a one click method that does the same thing without the adb jargon to type in terminal.

no download mode?
I spent half a day trying "one button root" to no avil. I came across this thread. I followed the instructions, but when i power my phone down, hold "vol up" and plug in usb, all i get is the battery icon indicating its charging.
If i hold down "vol down" and power, i get get the recovery mode, but cannot get to this download mode. searches make is seem like im the only one with this issue.
Sprint ls990, completely stock, except debugging mode check in developer options.

Major credits again to @zachariahpope for the Lollipop build earlier tonight. Unfortunately getting it rooted from stock won't work. Which is why I proceeded to try the same method from my rooting guide to attempt root. And I am proud to say...I HAVE THE ROOTED LOLLIPOP SONY XPERIA Z3V!!!
And also, I have recovery as well.
If you're going to follow in the same footsteps, please PLEASE remember when you get the supersu file, grab the v2.49 as that is for LOLLIPOP.
@GigaSPX Make one of these in the development section too!!
well, looks like its time to flash

If you want root, you need to preroot. Otherwise, you won't have it at all.
Also this is an update: it seems it's still Verizon holding all of us by the edge about VoLTE. I tried activating it but it won't work. Still can't browse and call at the same time dammit.
Is this patched for Stagefright?

Just installed it. v74-sdk21-arm . Gave me a little scare, as it hung on the Sony logo after rebooting. Also, upon that initial reboot, the lockscreen was vacant and couldn't get beyond what should've been there. Had to long-press power to bring up power menu and select reboot.
Following that, things seem to be working fine. Xposed Installer crashes if you click on xda support links in module pages, and the installation of xposed modules from within the Xposed installer can take significantly longer than it did on KK.

Not sure if this helps, but, I jumped from this phone to the LG G4. We don't have much development but, some rooted users don't have advanced calling because they are rooted. I am a non-rooted user with advance calling. To add another variable to the equation, you have to have the My Verizon Mobile app installed and not disabled to at least initiate advanced calling. Some of the rooted users I think figured that out.

Installed xposed_installer.apk and added back my most used modules
