Please Help LG Tribute 2 ( LG LS665 )
Well Recently I tried to root my phone using my computer using a youtube video using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 but, when I tied using the latest 1click root or something it didn't work it said could not find sideral number, so then I tried the newest old version if you know what mean and it seemed to work but then phone restarted and I noticed it was taking a long time so I just waited but it didn't seem to be going anywhere I tried to reboot it but that didn't help so I decided it was bricked. I tried to go into factory reset it by holding the power button and volume button I also tried clicking the volume button. Sorry about how long it is I was just trying to give as much details as I can

About in the same boat, was able to root then i tried to install a custom recovery but it did not work so i decided to try and flash the boot image now im bricked. I do have a back up of both the boot img and the recovery but they are on the phone's internal storage. So does anyone know how to pull them files off in download mode or how to get fastboot on it to pull them off and restore them.:cyclops:

I see NewYork was a poster in here with LG one-click-root problems, he found the thread I did on one-click-root method bricking LG devices on all variants Tmobile, Metro, Boost, etc.... I see no one has posted a hard to find link to 6th_Hokage's thread on not only unbricking these devices, but achieving root as well. If this post is too old or someone else has posted in here somewhere this same link, my apologies:

LG Intuition root information
Hello to all, I receive my phone on monday, and im coming from a rooted/rom/oc'ed Samsung Infuse 4g, Xoom, SII, and countless cheap tablets all tweaked so I cant wait to get into the guts of this phone but first I need root. Im no dev or coder but definetly not a noob so hopefully somebody takes the file im gonna upload and see if it actually works. Searching by the Japanese name of Optimus Vu p895 I found a "one click'' root for the phone that im gonna post. They also claim to have the bootloader unlocked also to have a custom recovery like CWM but I havent found anything yet about that. I hope the dev's and rom guys get to this phone because to me it looks like the perfect pocket powerhouse imo.
THIS IS MEANT FOR DEV'S OR THE CURIOUS TO SEE IF IT WORKS. ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE IS NOT MY FAULT.
This site was found by a simple google search, and the "super one-click" is meant for Android 2.3.5, hopefully one of you guys can make it work for 4.0.4 I dont get my phone til monday after thanksgiving so ill try it myself then.
the file is not uploading so the site is ninjaromeo . com /root-lg-optimus-vu-p895/
LG Intuition Root VIDEO Instruction
Performed a google search, with zero results found. Wondering if anyone has the ability to create a youtube step by step root instruction (for not so secure rooters), like myself. I have rooted four other devices but with each I had a video to refer too.
Thank You!

Yeah, no worries. How much do you know about development? I am not new to rooting, but I was so excited about removing bloatware that I removed a little too much and now I'm probably going to have send mine in for warranty. Any chance you know how to pull a system .img so I could reflash mine??? lol
I'll PM you just in case you dont see this.
Yeah I heard that if you remove a certain "bloatware " app it activates another verizon lock app, and once the phone is turned off it locks the phone up. I completly removed all verizon apps and the "lockout" so hopefully i wont have the that problem.
But ive flashed many other devices but i dont know how to put up the system image. It cant be that difficult, im gonna google and youtube it to find out how. I believe there is another thread on xda with the lg intuition system image also. But ill try to get that to you tonight if possible. One quick question....once you have the image how are you gonna flash it?, i thought the bootloader was locked, or is there a program like odin for LG?

Yeah, I'm luckily not locked out of the phone, but it would be nice to have a clean install. The boot loader is locked, and to my knowledge there is no Odin like program, but I was able to pull my .IMG a while ago. I'm hoping I can just push a clean .IMG, hard reset and call it good. I'll check when I get home to see if I can find how I did it.
Update: phone died...charged it up....turned on... received a security error. I deleted Verizon apps or something that triggered this. I returned the phone and within an hour rooted the new one without touching the Verizon apps.
This is not something new with LG phones I'm hearing. But if you go to developer options and turn on CPU stats it annoying to me that the phone is constantly sending messages to LG and Verizon servers and basically going ape**** in the background. So until the bootloader gets unlocked and a Rom is available I'm going with droidwall as a firewall and stock root. I wouldn't touch the Verizon apps or even quarantine IMO.

I finally got mine done. Went with a one click option that I found on youtube. It truly was a one click (well actually two) and it immediately gave me root priv. At any rate, download Titanium and then "freeze" the bloatware that you don't want. This way also prevents them from hogging cache and RAM. But, it doesn't trigger the commie Verizon bootloader locks. As of yet, ODIN does not support this device, but gooManager does. Haven't tried to flash yet, but it's downloaded and just sitting there....I'm afraid to pull the trigger. I wish I could remember the link...I typed "how to root android 4.0.4" and it was like the third or fourth option. I tried and tried and tried JCase's method, but got caught in the shell because it wouldn't verify lgroot.sh file was in place. It was. Looking forward to developing. Im in IT in college as a non-trad so expect a lot of questions you guys.

What is that lockout app? I'd like to do the same on my rooted vs950 just to ensure nothing I do bootloops it.
LG intuition Root 4.04 Help!
Can someone help me root my LG VS950 its been updated to 4.04 and I can't get it rooted using Bin4ry or Jcase suggestions so for... Others said it works with the 4.04 update, I just can't figure out what I may be doing wrong... when it gets to the reboot part and ask me to hit restore it starts and stops I about 5 seconds and nothing happens.. I added a pic of what it said when I tried to root using bin4ry method.. hopefully one of you can decipher this for me and help me find a solution...
P.S. and to be clear what USB connection type do I select (MTP, PTP, Internet Connection, or Charging) after I turn debugging mode on. and do I need to factory reset before I root?
Any other minor tid-bits would also be helpfull thanks..
Thanks in advance!
Here is how you fix it.
Power up the phone holding Power, Volume Up and Volume Down until Download Mode appears on the phone.
Connect the phone with the usb cable to the computer.
Use the LGMobile Support Tool and go to Customer Support -> Recovery Phone.
Follow the onscreen instructions from there.
This will download and reload your phone. Takes about 30 minutes total. All data will be lost.
Hopes this helps people.

Does this have anything to do with rooting the phone? Your response was @ no one in particular so i wanted to be sure before followed your directions
This is when you root it and you delete bloatware that it doesnt like. When the phone restarts and it shows that there is a Security Error, Can not find morningcall meaning a soft brick. The method that I gave gets your phone back up and running. It does wipe the phone so be prepared.
It shows the device connected and then I get an error when it is checking the information. It validates the esn, cell phone number, then right before it errors out it says its looking for LG PC-sync software. All drivers are installed. Any ideas?
I successfully got mine rooted but Bricked on restart due to Vz security software. I posted Step by Step restore in case of brick.

This method just does not want to work for me......I chose all rooting options and it keeps saying it can't mount, and file does not exist. I will try to post a screen shot when I get home but it is very similar to Peter Bishop but I am not even getting the prompt to add busy box, it says "confirm backup", "confirm restore", and then reboots and says it is done....but Root Checker says the device is not rooted. I am trying this on V31 of the root program.
Here is what is hangs on:
Device type:
1) New Standard-Root <thx Ariel Berkman>
2) New Xperia Root by Goroh_jun <Xperia Z, XperiaV [JellyBean] ...>
3) Old
4) Old-Special <for example: Sony Tablet S, Medion Lifetab>
G) Google Glass Mode <thx Saurik for the ab file>
x) Unroot
Make a choice: 1
Please connect Device with enabled USB-Debugging to your computer

Dear xdians,
I am very new to this forum to i apologize if i put this post in the wrong section. I am also very new to android. Its my first android phone
My issue is that I bought a LG phone Optimus LTE2 and I root it. The blunder i made that I removed some system applications.
When I restart phone, it didn't. I tried to enter in recovery mode(power+volume up+home) and download mode(power+volume down+home) but nothing happened. Even it didn't start.
So i searched on korean forums and found a very helpful forum on this particular mobile. From here I downloaded some ROMS and kdz of this mobile.
Now the current situation is that my phone is not powering up by pressing power button.
The problem is that where should i start now? how can it unbrick my phone?. any tools?
Please help me in this as I am very worry about it.

Thanks a lot bro. Very helpful links for me.
So I have an LG Optimus L9 phone from T-Mobile that I recently got, but it wouldn't let me save apps to my SD card, which really limited my space. Id rooted my previous Android phone, and I thought I could do it again.
So I tried unlocking my bootloader and rooting my phone using this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277639
But I guess one thing led to another and... Well, now when I start my phone, it just leads to a screen that says Encrypting and a button that says "Reset phone", and every single time it resets to this "Encrypting" screen. Every once in a blue moon, I can get it into CWM recovery screen, but I don't know what to do. I've been trying out multiple things, but I'm on the verge of losing my mind! Can anyone help me? I'd really appreciate it!
*UPDATE*
Good news! I used the LG Mobile Support tool to update my phone to V20H by using the advice below!
BOOTLOOPS? STUCK AT LG LOGO? : Dont worry!!! If you were on CM and flashed JB or vice versa or your data partition is not matching with new partitions, then your phone may get BOOTLOOPS on LG Logo.
HARD-RESET to solve it (Press VolDown, Home and Power all together) You will loose data, dont worry, before starting you took BACKUP and I am sure about it. Phone should start normally. (Click for correct method of HARDRESET)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344
So now it boots up fine and works! But now the touchscreen is wonky. That's normal from what the tutorial said, but at this point, I'm desperately just trying to bring my phone back to normal... Anyone know how I can fix the touchscreen issue, or restore back to normal from here?

Keep following the tutorial if you still want to unlock bootloader. Otherwise jump to the 2nd part of it (step 5 and on), to flash back to P769 rom and then apply (flash) touchscreen fix.

It appears you don't have root.
I'll send you a file to flash (once you get root & l9 recovery installed) to restore your touch screen & u-boot if you feel like throwing in the towel.

I actually got it up and running a while ago, thanks though, I really appreciate it!
Apprearently I had to flash my phone to V10G, root it, install the L9 recovery, and then follow the tutorial. I don't know how that slipped my mind, but I didn't try flashing it to V10G first.
Just for the sake of putting a resolution to this thread's issue, here's what I did.
1. I flashed my phone to V10G using cmahendra's tutorial here:
h ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344
2. Then I rooted the phone using this Chinese tool that aristide1997 posted:
h ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439667
(There might be a better way to root the phone, but that's how I did it)
3. Then I installed the L9 Recovery apk that I got from carloswii5's tutorial. (It's the last link, the mega.co.nz one, the all in one zip that ggfool politely posted)
h ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277639
5. After that, I just followed carloswii5's youtube tutorial,

and everything went smoothly from there.
Anyway, thanks for all the help you guys, I'm glad I finally got this problem sorted out, and can now install custom roms on my phone!

I am having similar problems to the one explained above...
Today my phone started giving me google service stopped working and calculator stopped working...so I restarted my phone. when it powered back up it got stuck on the LG Logo Screen...once in a while it will go to the encryption screen with the reset phone button and does nothing if I push it. I have tried to hard reset the phone by doing the Volume Down + Home Button + Power button all at the same time. When I push all three after removing the battery to make sure the phone is powered down, it just vibrates and powers up to the LG Logo screen again and sits there. I am really frustrated at this point and heart broken because I really like this phone. I have had the phone a little over a year now. So it is out of warranty. For some reason it is not getting seen when I connect it to my computer via USB cable. I do not understand all the conversation about re-rooting and such. I am not all that tech savvy, so I need simple instructions.
Hi @thejenibear, you could try this way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50729855

I tried the LG Mobile Support Tool....unfortunately because the phone is not booting up all the way, my computer is not being seen. I ended up going out and replacing the phone with another phone. This was the second time that something like this happened to that phone. The first time it automatically started an System Update without my input and I was not in a good coverage area and not hooked to a Wi-Fi at the time and then my battery dies midway through. This lead to the phone being stuck without the software fully downloaded. Had to send it to LG for a little over a week to completely wipe the phone and re-install the software. It was under warranty at that time. This time the warranty was out of date. I will still see if there is anything that they can do for it. I went with another LG, but bought the extended warranty through the store where I bought it, not making that mistake again.
Hi thejenibear, thanks for your feedback.
Cheers. Good luck.

I recently installed CyanogenMod with the Unlock Bootloader for noobs and I noticed the internal SD wasn't mounted. So I tried to flash an ICS ROM to see if it would work but it didn't. I was stuck at the boot screen. I tried restoring an ICS CWM backup and a JB backup but it didn't work. Currently, I have a flashed JB backup with a messed up touchscreen (because of the way I unlocked the boot-loader). It won't boot and I don't know how I can install the stock ROM. I really just want my phone to work at this point. I don't know if there's any way to use the offline method to flash a .kdz since I can't access android. I tried hard resetting, but when I do it starts up Clock Work Mod which I believe happens because of the way I unlocked boot-loader.
I'm trying to use this guide to fix it using SW upgrade. I did find a .bin and .fls which i'm downloading right now.
If anyone could help or give some advice that would be great. I really just want to use my phone, I don't care about flashing a custom ROM right now. As long as my phone works, I'll be happy.

Let me know if this works for you! Also you can do the offline fix just as long as you can get into S/W Upgrade mode. But I am curious to see if you can use the bin/fls files tool that you mentioned to get your phone working again.

Thanks for the reply! I'm planning on trying this method out tomorrow and ,if you don't mind, could you please elaborate on how I can do the offline fix with S/W Upgrade mode? I'll check back on the forum tomorrow!

Well just get your phone into S/W Upgrade mode and follow this tutorial. Getting into S/W Upgrade:
1. Get stock ROM here.
2. Turn off your phone
3. Press and hold the vol + button while inserting USB to computer
4. Keep holding the vol + until you see the S/W upgrade mode
5. Flash ROM with tutorial mentioned above.
Good Luck!

Isn't that just an infobank of all the KDZs? I'm pretty new, but can you flash a kdz with the offline method? To clarify, I was asking how to flash the kdz with the offline method in S/W upgrade mode. So ROMs/KDZs are essentially the same, right?
Edit: I read everything over again and realized what KDZs really are. I'm just wondering now if I could just hard reset in some other way because the LG Update Tool doesn't recognize my phone even though I see all the drivers. It's stuck at 15%.
Edit 2: I tried the method I suggested and it resulted with "Magic number does not concide".
So I'm stuck here with a phone that is stuck in bootloop, and has CWM installed. Can anyone help?

alright, this is all from memory but the offline flash didnt work as well for me when stuck in weird bootloops.
Step one-going back to online flash---->
A---
the easiest way i found was to go to C:/windows/system32/drivers/ect/hosts
right click>open with notepad
there should be two lines at the bottom
"127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com
127.0.0.1 csmgdl.lgmobile.com"
i would cut them out and paste them in a text doc in the same folder for reference later...
but either way you should remove them from the hosts file and save
B----
Make sure your small server is closed! once you minimize it it should go down to your status bar (shttps)
Step two-LGMS---->
make sure you have LG mobile support installed or install it.
open lg mobile support
install needed drivers for your phone
power your phone off/remove the battery
put battery back in
connect it to your computer holding down the volume up button
S/W UPDATE mode should pop up, if it doesn't preform and hardreset and try again til it works (it will)
then in the top right corner there should be a button or two click them both until you see
"restore update" or Update restore or something to that effect
select that
and let it ride man
i got my phone ****ed many times and just had to keep redoing this until it worked. if your bootloader is truely unlocked you can probably go through all that again and get CM10 working, i did but im still working through kinks.....
GOOD LUCK feel free to ask any more Q's about this process if you run into any problems

Hello! Sorry for the late reply. Before I start, do you mean LG Mobile Support form when I unlocked the boot-loader, if not could you provide a link to it? And by the way, when I tried hard resetting, the phone sent me back to CWM, any ideas why?
I was reading the CM10.2 notes yesterday and I realized there isn't supposed to be an internal SD card showing up when you plug in your phone to your PC. So I did tried fixing what wasn't broke.
Anyway, thanks for the info!

that could work, but i just downloaded the LG Mobile Support that i found from a google search. im pretty sure it was just from lg's website
GOOD LUCK
was your phone off before you hit the vol up and home, then clicked power for three-five seconds?

Such a late reply, sorry! I did nothing. Before you replied I flashed CM10.2 but never bothered to boot up my phone. Preparing to connect my phone to my comp, I couldn't start CWM so I figured " I'll just leave my phone plugged in for a few hours." Two hours later, my phone has a blank screen, i'm thinking "This shouldn't be blank? What the hell?." I pressed the power button and was greeted with Cid. I screamed out loud: "**** yeah!"
If people have the same problem as me all I did was: Reflash my my phone with 10.1, stock, 10.1 again, and then 10.2. I did that, only that.
What's funny is that I never checked to see if my phone was working after I flashed CM10.2. :silly:
Can't wait for Kit-Kat. Thank you for keeping up with my post, CROSSFREEZE I appreciate it!
Edit: I might submit a really specific and simplified version of the "Unlock Bootloader for Noobs P769" for the take of contributing.

Try to get to system recovery by holding volume down and power.
Then wipe cache, then wipe data/factory reset.

I'm in the exact same boat... Going to recovery and wiping data doesn't fix the issue.
I'm trying to flash stock rom but it doesn't seem to be detected as a MTK Preloader device. Have you gotten anywhere with this?

I'm taking a total shot in the dark but I read somewhere that vol up & vol down plus power will get you into download mode - just a thought. I was thinking about buying one of these things, if it can be rooted. $20 at Best Buy this week!

ive just completed my root with kingroot 4.8.5 version, so far so good 3 days n running.just go to kingroot.net press da green android button n good luck.you do no about usg debugging and allow unauthorised apps .cheers bb225?
Anyone figure out how to fix this thing yet? I ended up with a black screen except for restart menu, and safe mode text when booting into safe mode. As well as vibrations from keypress, hard/soft keys, and factory wipe is in the same state as the earlier poster, useless, but accessible.. I also was rooted with kingroot, used super-sume, and that after I updated su binaries followed with a reboot to what seems almost like a broken systemui.apk but I wouldn't know. ****ing lame though.

Hey man can you do me a favor and share your NetworkSystemProvider UID apk with me? You can do this via Link2SD.
I accidentally uninstalled this app and now all network connectivity doesn't work.

I just picked up one these phones a couple of days ago. I thought I had soft bricked it. It got stuck on the boost splash screen and recovered itself after about 10 minutes. The thing just seems like an LG copy with physical keys. I was able to bring it into the android L recovery. Power, home key, volume down. When it flashes Alcatel. Volume up and press the power button a few times. Similar to the HTC phones. My question is when I first activated it. There was blue android splash screen. Is that when the boost stuff flashed itself? Almost seems like it locked the boot loader then. Read a little more and seen to just do the OEM unlock. Makes sense and seemed to have worked. Anybody has advice on what to do next? I'm about to go ahead and try some things I have success in the past with different phones.

im interested in knowing if you got your bootloader unlocked i attempted and got "waiting on any device" i figured it was an issue with the abd fastboot drivers from what i read online,so i tried using universal drivers and despite getting the serial when i type adb devices i still got "waiting on any device" when i tried "fastboot get-oem-unlock.
I'm new on here so bare with me I'm not certain of etiquette and such. I received an email saying to make sure I'm posting about the right device. I think the elevate from Boost and Virgin are probably the same phones. I just switched on OEM unlock in developer options through settings. It asked me if was sure. I have not gotten to hookup to a PC yet but I assume you are talking about something that I would call a fastboot adb. I have downloaded a terminal emulator and when I punch in "su" it says. "[email protected]:/ #"
Whether I have that switch on or not. Is there a command you can punch in to tell you if it's unlocked without rebooting into boot loader?
Unlock elevate
Where I'm going with this is that it says it is rooted as a one touch pixi. There is much more stuff about the pixi than the elevate on the pixi forum. Post 1192 on page 120 of the pixi 3 forum states that the elevate has a different chipset than the pixi. I seen some earlier posts on this thread that are saying the same thing and that this device is a Qualcomm device.
