ok.... lot of things happening.... kingroot says i am rooted... step 2 didnt work but after keep trying it worked once and said successful but it didnt reboot to recovery....
then even the root checker says "Root access is not properly installed...." :crying:
what are my options all my data is backed up.......
:crying:
ok now i went ahead and used the flashtool to flash 5.0.2 ftf that i made from downloading the files using XperiFirm.
Its booting up right now and this will hopefully get me back to where i was before...
After this I rooted using the Kingroot app version available in english in the XDA forum (plz search for it.. sorry i didnt save the link).
Now i am rooted with Kinguser as the superuser app
Same here
No recoveries were injected but rooted
At least we are rooted on stock lollipop... thats the good part... i have restored my titanium backups no issues.... i am rolling......
but can we trust the kinguser as the superuser app?
Do I need to unlock bootloader before do this?

No you don't, it can be used for locked bootloader. You only can used root access by kinguser not SuperSU and because it stuck on step 1, you won't have the recovery on your device.

Also, changing the 4G/4G LTE icons to the international HSPA/LTE icons?

There is a thread on xda that walks you through how to make twrp for your device. Anyone here able to do it? You have to know what you are doing but it guides you.

Twrp probably won't install even if I build it due to the boot loader being locked.

I know I just was curious to test out the lock status. If anything the other G2 versions should be able to use it.
Shouldn't this be in the development section....
If I can root the VZW version, I'm buying one tomorrow.

Yes I took the plunge and am rooted. Confirmed was able to edit Build.prop to change LCD Density, and also hid Soft Keys.
What you need to do:
I take no credit for the method used here and I'm not responsible to bricks or something going wrong. With that in mind this is what you do.
1. Download and Install the LG United Mobile Drivers: Can be found here: http://d-h.st/EW4
2. Next make sure your ADB is working, on the G2 goto Settings: About Phone: Software Information: Click Build Number 5 times. Go back and choose Development Settings Enable USB Debugging.
3 command prompt and type adb devices, you should see your Serial Number and online.
4 Now that we know ADB is working, download this: http://www.mgyun.com/vroot
5. Yes it is in chinese, install it, then run it while your phone is plugged into your USB port on your PC.
6, The program will do some checks once its finished it will pop a screen that has the model number of the phone LG-D800 and a check mark. Notice the button on the bottom right, it says ROOT with some chinese lettering.
7. Click it and wait, the phone will reboot after a couple minutes. Once it reboots you will be rooted. Also it will install a Chinese language Root Manager. This is temporary.
8. Now we will replace the Chinese binary with an English one. Download superuser by clockworkmod from the play store. Open it and grant root permission (right button when the window pops up in Chinese). Superuser will ask to update the binary, hit install. Now exit by swiping superuser out of recents.
9. Now open titanium backup, install from play store if you don't have it. Find the Chinese root manager app and either uninstall it or freeze it.
10. Next open superuser again and once again install the superuser binary when asked. Reboot. You should now be rooted in English.
11. Optionally you can install Busybox with Busybox installer like I did.

If you still have recovery, you should be able to just flash a rom.
If you don't, read the FAQ. When you unroot, you'll need to start from scratch. Stump is our only root and it only works the first time. Or when it's clean.
I never installed a custom recovery like TWRP OR the one that starts with C... I just have the stock room recovery and I don't see an option to flash a rom. What can I do here?....

I would suggest following instructions on downgrading to ZV4 (since stump root works for force brute in order to root your phone).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...g-g3-ls990-t2852042/post54912191#post54912191
Once you fully restore back to default stock, you will need to go ahead and install stump root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
It will allow you to brute force root, which should take about 5 minutes.
After you reboot, you should have root. Go to the market and download supersu. From there you should be able to have root access. From there you need to download TWRP (my choice of recovery) http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966129
Once that's done, you should be able to reinstall you ROM and profit.
This is all from SCRATCH as you suggested.

Hi all,
Finally decided to root my z2 since I got it in April. I'm on the above firmware but when I try to root with cubeundcube rootkitXperia tool kit I get error adb is not recorgnised command, program or batch file.
Anyone know how to deal with this. Do I need to download anything else side from the tool kit!
Where do I find adb for z2?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

.314 rooting is piece of cake and noob-proof all you only need to is :
install flashtool => install drivers => connect z2 in USB debugging on and unknown Application on
Start flashtool, press the root button, select superuser and press OK
check you device now it will promt you to click on root me
reboot and done

Yeah thanks, finally tried it with latest flashtool. I followed the process but it did not reboot my phone, it just said rebooting device but nothing happened. I unplugged and rebooted myself.
I've got super user installed but no root access.
When I ask for root permissions in flashtool, I get root access denied.
I downloaded root checker from play store which said I have root but no apps which require root can get it.
Any ideas, doesn't seem like I can repeat the rooting process without reflashing the stock firmware first.

Use Dr Fone for pc to root your phone.
Install Dr Fone on your pc.
Connect your pc to internet and let it be till the whole rooting process is completed.
Connect your phone to pc using usb cable with USB debugging enabled.
Open Dr Fone.
There would be a option to root phone in the Dr Fone window, click it.
It will take a few minutes to detect your phone and find appropriate rooting solution.
Once done, click the root button and wait.
Congrats, you have a rooted phone now.
If the above steps fail, you can try some other rooting tools like Kingoroot, Towelroot etc.

Augustoandro said:
Use Dr Fone for pc to root your phone.
Install Dr Fone on your pc.
Connect your pc to internet and let it be till the whole rooting process is completed.
Connect your phone to pc using usb cable with USB debugging enabled.
Open Dr Fone.
There would be a option to root phone in the Dr Fone window, click it.
It will take a few minutes to detect your phone and find appropriate rooting solution.
Once done, click the root button and wait.
Congrats, you have a rooted phone now.
If the above steps fail, you can try some other rooting tools like Kingoroot, Towelroot etc.

Below you will find instructions how to root this device.
The following procedure has been tested up to firmware MMB29K.J320AUSC2AQA1
KNOX should remain 0x0
However you undertake this at your own risk.
(NOTE: This procedure will also work for the SM-J320AZ (Cricket))
Issues:
Wifi passwords not remembered (fix below)
Stock Flashlight app not working.
Model number may be missing from build.prop (fix below)
Instructions
1.Download the eng boot image.
This is a special boot image normally used by engineers, it allows selinux to be booted in permissive mode with relaxed root restrictions.
Do not replace this image with the stock image after rooting your device or you will possibly soft brick your device.
(See below for how to recover)
ENG_BOOT_J320A_PG1
2. Flash the boot image:
Download Odin v3.11.1
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the ENG_BOOT_J320A_PG1.tar to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
3. Install and run Kingroot:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/kingro...-release/kingroot-5-0-5-android-apk-download/
You may need to run Kingroot several times to gain successful root.
4. Install and run SuperSU me to remove Kingroot and convert to SuperSU (not required) :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ore&pcampaignid=APPU_1_uzPDVbGyFcGNyATHrqmoCA
Alternative (free) method to replace Kingroot:
Follow Steps 3 to 12.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ide-how-to-root-tripping-knox-kitkat-t3129484
Don't flash the boot partition with Flashfire, uncheck.
You will also need to flash the system version of SuperSU not EverRoot.
When you get to step 12, don't flash the firmware. Disable EverRoot and just flash this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/v2-64-2-66-supersu-mode-t3286120
5. Wifi fix:
modify the line below in /system/build.prop:
ro.securestorage.support=true to false
6. Model number fix:
http://www.techgainer.com/change-fake-android-device-model-number-and-brand-name/
7. To fix “Unauthorized actions have been detected”
disable 'Security log agent'
Enjoy your rooted device.
Recovering from a soft brick:
Flash the stock firmware provided below wirh ODIN in the AP slot.

What do you mean debugging does not work? Adb is enabled by default, it's an engineering boot image.

How is an older firmware going to be better when most people will already be running AQA1 firmware?

King root can be replaced with supersu me or the script. It can also be easily uninstalled via its settings.
What did you actually install?
My system went haywire. I need a command thru terminal on android to factory reset, can't boot into recovery.

You can't possibly have lost the recovery, nothing has touched it. It does take a short while for stock recovery to boot.

Iam lost as to how it happened as well lol but its ok, just a tester phone for fun 3rd time i have done something wrong :laugh:
---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------
Reflashed Stock Firmware, regained access to recovery, factory reset and back up and running. i actually noticed some new features in recovery. i can actually apply update from sd now, whereas before i could not access files on sd, looks like dm-verity is also gone, or at least not showing up in recovery as before (maybe because it was a failed test) also the start up of the phone has skipped the initial set up (no add account or set up password) and the main screen is way more crisp and clear than what i had on before, even with the other 3 reflashes i have previously done. so far so good though

The model number missing is a known issue. You just need to edit the build.prop and put it back.

ok so the script is working but there is a different way
1. install kingroot 4.5 from apk mirror
2. Run script
3. update Su
4. update Binary
(i had to reinstall kingroot and deny kingroot root permission before binary would update and uninstall and keep root)
it seems denying kingroot root permission keeps the root on the device, letting su take over for root permission and uninstall of kingroot.
i know it seems weird but it works, the hang up was updating su, which you can do from google play
