I Have a LG Optimus L7 II p715 which i bought it a year ago,but i am not satisfied with its RAM and INTERNAL STORAGE so i tried rooting it
how ever i successfully rooted with a kingo root which is a one click process and when i deleted some of the bloatware my phone stucked with a booting throwing up a SECURITY ERROR but some how using lg user tools i installed a os again it is fine now !
My question is that i need more internal space so i would like to root again but i am worried of security errors so how to prevent this security error and what exactly throws up a security error ? will it again throw up a security error if i change the partitions for increase ROM and INTERNAL STROAGE ? or just tell me if my phone does not fit for rooting and all those benefits i get from rooting ?? thankyou for everyone in advance who are going to respond in this thread !!

after installing kdz file
u asked to flash upgrade superuser but when i enter recovery mode cwm mode is only available
should i do it with cwm ??
or first setup twrp mode and then flash super user ?
if so then i have to run twrp zip file on cwm mode or what ??
please bear with me I am a beginner hope u would help me?
On our device it doesn't matter much which recovery you're using since there aren't many ROMs made for it, and the ones that exist, i'm pretty sure, work with both TWRP and CWM. I personally flashed TWRP from neutrondev's thread. After that I was free to flash whatever I want. TWRP is just simpler to use, atleast in my opinion. Flash the TWRP.zip in CWM recovery, turn off the phone AFTER IT'S DONE FLASHING, boot in recovery again to make sure TWRP is working for you. After that you just have to follow the specific threads for whateve you want to do with your phone.

Hello all I am new to this whole rooting process... I am not afraid to admit it as we all were once new at what we are doing at some point. I need help creating a nandroid back up on my atrix. O have successfully unlocked the boot loader and rooted my phone. I performed a backup using cwm through the boot screen and then I proceeded to wipe all my data and install a new rom when to my surprise it got stuck on the boot load screen for 30minites before I pulled the battery and tried restoring to my backup that I made with cwm.. it appears that the backup only successfully installed the boatload.img file and none of the other. Img files therefore once rebooted my phone would stay stuck at the boatload screen... I finally wiped everything and found a gingerbread 2.3.4 version 4.5 beta and copied it to my external sd card and installed it through cwm choosing the zip file to install and rebooting. Now I am back up and running but I do obviously not know how to make a nandroid backup so if I decide to tinker around with my phone again I will not have the same problem as before. Any help would be greatly appreciated... I am sorry this is so long bit if someone helps me I would rather they know the whole story then just portions of it. Thanks everyone who reads this and replies!!!

Looked into rom racer's forum page still confused
Hello again, I have looked into the forum for "romracer" and there is still quite a bit of confusion on my side (noob). I am already nervous about flashing things to my phone since my last stuck in boot loading screen. My current version of cwm is whatever came with option number 2 on the automatic unlock file that unlocked my bootloader and also provided root access. I believe it is called "Tenfar CWM". I want to be able to make a successful nandroid backup and I am understanding that I need to flash the latest version of CWM for atrix. I am confused about how I go about flashing that onto my phone safely. I am sorry I am such a noob, but I want to understand how to get the latest version of CWM for atrix onto my phone... There are so many links to different things on the developer for CWM forum page that my mind is spinning out of control. Any help on where to download all the necessary files to perform this flash and how to flash my phone with the latest version of CWM for atrix 4G would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for being understanding and helping me through this process that seems overwhelming for a noob like me.

1) Go to /system/etc. and delete "install-recovery.sh". This can be done with Root Explorer, available from the market. If it's not there, then don't worry about it.
2) Download which every color of Rom Racer's CWM you want to your pc (same folder as fastboot files).
3) Boot into fastboot mode and enter fastboot mode.
4) Connect phone to pc, and open command prompt from fastboot folder (shift + right click -> open command window here).
5) Enter fastboot commands from Rom Racer's OP.
6) Enter "fastboot reboot" to reboot phone.
7) Boot into recovery and make sure it worked
*If you still see Tenfar's recovery app on your phone, delete it like you do any other app.
OR
1) Delete Tenfar's Recovery app.
2) Go to /system/etc. and delete "install-recovery.sh". This can be done with Root Explorer, available from the market. If it's not there, then don't worry about it.
3) Download ROM Manager from the market (free)
4) Install the CWM Recovery for the Atrix via the ROM Manager App.
5) Use this CWM Recovery
or proceed to install ROM Racer's CWM Recovery...
6) Download ROM Racer's CWM and put it on your internal SD card (/sd-card).
7) Open ROM Manger App
8) Select install ROM from .zip (or something like that - one of the main options).
9) Select the .zip you put there, an uncheck the options (no need to wipe anything).
10) Phone will reboot, install the .zip, and reboot again.
11) Should have ROM Racer's version on the phone now, and be able to enter recovery via the ROM Manager App.
Thank you so much... I will try that once I have some time to dedicate strictly to this...

you need to restore your device by flashing KDZ file via LGMobile Support Tool...
here you'll find how to...
You can also use "Upgrade Recovery" option from LGMobile Support Tool so no need to follow the thread linked above, but with this method you'll completely erase your phone, internal SD card included
omg i am frustrated i cant get kdz method working just getting error after error , and i cant install lg support tool it is stuck while install , is there any other solutions ?
I've checked all over, and their are many...but none of them are straight to the point
I want to install custom roms but I cant seem to find a proper thread that is step by step on loading a custom recovery, I'm jumping all over the place, so far I have a unlocked bootloader, rooted and running 4.2.2 and I have a recovery.img file on my sdcard (not sure if thats needed or not)
I've come to decide I need to do it manually cause the rom manager app doesn't have my tablet listed.
Doesn't bother me what custom recovery is it, as long as I can boot into it and load custom roms from SD card im happy

Looks like can help you! I too had this problem and dont even ask me how much I researched XDA Forums in vain But Ill help YOU! You said you're rooted and on 4.2.2 so you should be good to go! Here's the link to Dual Recovery for XTZ (TWRP and Philz Touch) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
You said you Unlocked your bootloader. I hope you didnt forget to backup your TA before that.
Gimme a Thanks if I helped and dont forget to thank the original dev [NUT] either!
Wait wait wait Lol
What on earth is TA?
All I have is the code that unlocked the bootloader, and man oh man, im glad someone can help
Ill be doing what that thread states and i'll keep you updated
Thanks
It worked!!!!!! I have the custom recovery installed!
But i have a few questions? can i only use the app to boot into the recovery or can I use the volume power way, cause it didn't seem to work at first so i used the app
secondly, when i used the app, i booted into clockmod recvery, and i wanted to install a ROM i placed on my sdcard, so I wiped out the phone getting it ready for the ROM installation, so i formatted and found i cant open my sdcard only my internal storage, thats means im stuck, so now i fused flashtools and placed 4.2.2 back on the phone, must root it again and then load the recovery and place the rom on my internal storage, ill keep you updated let me know if there was a easier way
Just realized I could have tried the other recoveies, cause maybe they would be able to access the sdcard
OK so I have downloaded this rom and gapps and the instructions are same old same old, place files on sdcard, boot into recovery, wipe and install, I got an installation aborted any ideas?
All the roms are failing and ive been trying the different recoveries, I must be doing something wrong

What is the exact "Status 7 error" output?
Status 7 error can be caused by trying to install a ROM that is not specifically designed for your phone model a P768, and you try to flash a P760 CM11 ROM. When flashing that ROM the updater script checks the device model/ID and if it doesn't match that of the ROM being flashed, it will abort the installation.
Make sure that your flashing the proper CM11 ROM for your specific device.
Status 7 error can also be caused by, installing the wrong or improper CWM recovery version for your device and or ROM being flashed.
Double check that the recovery version you installed is the correct CWM recovery for your device and/or the CM11 ROM that your trying to flash. CM11 also requires a specific CWM recovery version to be flashed.
Thanks for your answer, I solved this way, I get back to the especific rom for my device, I can only do that trough the automatic lg support tool, cause when I tryed to flash get error of disconnected phone at 15%, later I saw that I need a specific recovery to flash the rom, so I downloaded and send it to the phone, after that I could flash the rom without problems and I'm now rocking my phone with KitKat :laugh:
Thank you. I was really scary but now I know that can get restored thru the lg utility.
Sorry for my english.

First you need to remove root and make sure all root files from your /system are gone.
Root prevent the phone from doing OTA updates because you have modified your system.
If you can't update OTA try flashing using flashtool it will remove root obviously because it's a newer Frimware.
For your information 5.1.1 root isn't the same way as 5.0.2.
Quick tip if you want to keep your root access try installing a recovery and busybox and make a pre rooted Frimware and flash it in the recovery.
I hope this was helpful.

Thank you for wanting to help, but have tried for FlashTool, PRF Creator and various manual methods in the mobile itself. Here's a video of how it is: "Z3 COMPACT AFTER ROOTING"
However, recalling that mine is the Z2. I found this video on youtube and that's exactly how is my mobile, but I can not post links forum.
If it's this https://youtu.be/VPrJthvqKfE
Flashtool will fix your issue. Install the drivers and flash a ftf file to fix the system partition.

1.Download a pre-rooted firmware 5.1.1 (flashable zip)
2.Boot into Recovery (TWRP Recommend)
3.Install - Choose ROM direction - flash the ROM zip and wipe cache\dalvik cache
(don't worry this won't wipe your data)
# I highly recommend you to do a factory reset after flashing because if you didn't the phone will be laggy and battery will drain extremely fast
*And If you have xposed installed don't forget to remove it because it may causes problems
If I Helped, Leave A Thanks ?
