LG K8 2017 (X240) Root - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there!
I know there is no root method nor roms, but I wonder why.
Is It too new? LG is kind of laggy, I would like to have other rom, it comes with android 6.0 lollypop. Maybe no interest by developers. LG sucks! I regret this buy! ?
Thanks!

Hey, I own this device too and I've also been looking for a custom ROM and a root method with no results. I hope you found something already and if you did I was hoping you could tell me where I can find what I'm looking for. If you can tell me as well where can I find the root method with linux tell me please.
I wish you answered me ASAP because I'm going to sell the tablet if I'm not able to improve its performance.
Thank you and sorry if my english is too weird, I'm Spanish haha

If you like to root your device first of all you will need device drivers.
Archos ADB drivers
Then you will need a tool or a script with tools to root it.With a quick google search I found that RootBurnerTool could do the trick.
RootBurnerTool
If this method fails you could try other tools:
Root MANY ANDROID! (Bin4ry methods)
Unlock Root Tool
SRS One Click Root for Android
I hope it helps you!
And what about any custom ROMs for my Arnova 10c G3?

Thank you for that, as soon as I try it I'll tell you.
Do you have any idea if any custom ROM is available for the Arnova 10C G3? I can't say I didn't try hard searching for it...
I got a second hand Arnova 10c G3 the other day.
It was hardly used. I rooted it with SRS One Click Root for Android, so that one works.
And yes, I would also like to know if there's a custom rom. The device is a bit sluggish.
Anyway, it's a cheap device to see if I like a tablet at all, having a good PC that's always on, and a good phone. So far I used it to read my comics on

LG K4 Verizon Model, no luck rooting. Anybody succesful?

I just bought an LG K4 from Verizon. I have not been able to root it.
Has anyone else been successful rooting one of these?
I think this thread might be useful, except I don't use windows. I am on a Linux box--Debian Jessie. http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
I would like to know the Linux equivalent to the command " Send_Command.exe \\.\COM4"
I think I've just found the answer. I discovered it after rewording my question, which prompted a different Google search.

OK... a few months later after rooting this phone I un-rooted it by updating (oops). The Android version is 5.1.1. Is there any way to root it again? KingoRoot isn't working.

I have tried NewKingrootV4.9.6_C151_B321_en_release_2016_09_18_105203.apk
My Camera is broken. I am wondering if that has any significance. Could the root exploits rely on the Camera somehow?
kingroot does not work anymore for my lg k4 either
I have the same problem i unrooted my k4 and i tryied to root again but not succsesfully i think you can root it once or you need the same kingoroot app idk reply if you fixed it
I have lg K4 k121 .. completely locked down tried everything.
Check out this thread
Sorry Removing my work from XDA
Hey everyone ?
Just wanted to share the joy of having ROOTED my k4 k121 on firmware 10F! The solution was exactly what @Astr4y4L mentioned in the previous post ☺ Involved downgrading boot.img I believe to previous version 10C which finally allowed kingroot to do it's job. Afterwards replaced kingroot with SuperSu. Astr4y4L now has a flashable system.img pre rooted with SuperSu!!
I invite you k121 users to check out that thread Astr4y4L linked and ask for k4 root ?

Hi,
Where can I find this flashable system.img?
I visited the page Astr4y4L but I did not find anything ...
We offer it as a gift for Donations
All trace of my work is being removed due to Moderation
Sorry to revive a dead thread, but how does one downgrade to 10C if all the instructions have been deleted?
Could someone who have had success chime in?

Shame for Developers

I am not writing this thread to abuse developers but I was very disappointed with this thread. I thought Developers are the real soul for mobiles. But there is not even one developer who can root LG V10 At&t model H900. and provide us a custom ROM. I am very disappointed. Please if there is any developer who developed any ROM with Root for This model. I will appreciate if somebody can post custom rom and method for this dying beauty.
Pls..........

It's not their fault. It's the AT&T that doesn't allow bootloader unlocking. I waited for a whole year for root and then sold the device because of lost hope. Lesson I learned: Should do more research before buying a new phone.

Thanks Boss... I will do the same from now on... now stuck with this. can't throw this becuase loved it when i got the hands on.. now disappointed.
Anyways thanks for reply
I have 960A which is rootable but still no roms. Slim stock rom or lineage would make this phone a beast. But nobody wants to do it -.-
All I can say since I found out that some cellular providers are poopholes that lock bootloaders etc I never ever bought a carrier branded device either straight from company or secondhand
Lg v10 h960a
While unzipping rootedsystemh960a.tot I get the message: " data stopped unexpected "".
What can i do ?
kind regards

How can I root my SM-G965U?

Hello,
As in the title, I'm asking how I can root my S9+ with my carrier being Verizon. I've been trying for hours and been unsuccessful with everything. Every source I've found has noted that the US models of the S9+ are unable to be rooted. This is the last place I could think of where maybe someone would be able to help.
If anyone could help, it would be GREATLY appreciated.

My understanding is the US Snapdragon version cannot be rooted or bootloader unlocked, must br Exynos version
