Hi,
I am stuck right at the beginning with the attempt to install LineageOS on my LG G2 mini, because I am not able to get root. My conclusion is that I am failing because my Stock-SW Version seems different from what is captured in this forum mostly.
Device: LG-D620r
Software platform: Android 5.0.2
Software version: V20e-232-03
Build-Number: LRX22G
It's an Austrian, Telering-branded LG G2 mini.
Of course I've tried the path described in here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/root-root-g2-mini-lollipop-t3123652 even trying that attached kingroot.apk, which in the end failed with "no methods found", I guess because of this exotic SW-Version.
Next thing would be to load one of the patched bootloaders here https://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/bootloader-d620-d618-t3127819, but I would not know which version to pick. But without root I can't proceed anyway(?)
Would be nice if anyone of you has ideas on how to achieve this. Maybe I am just missing something obvious?
For my background: I have installed and troubleshooted LineageOS before on an Moto G (thea) which was of course way easier
downgrade to kitkat, everything will be easier. @psycoy
Hey @psycoy, I just did that and along with some other issues it finally worked. So, a late thank you, it was appreciated!

I'm trying to root my new tablet, I've tried IRoot(VRoot) and Towel Root. Neither of these work, I've tried to research both here and general google search for more information but to no avail.
I've read some rumors that the visual land tablets come pre-rooted but no SU is installed nor will any of them install properly, also root checks say it isn't already rooted.
If anyone can point me in the right direction for tools or a guide for a general manual root or create something specific for this device I'd very much appreciate it.

I bought mine a month ago. It came with lollipop. Any chance you can upload and img of yours ? I can't find a way to get to kitkat. lollipop has too many bugs for me. I think the older OS would work better. I can upload an img of mine if you want lollipop. Thanks
PLEASE do not respond with all of the methods listed here. I have tried them all. USB debug with the download this, unzip that, com port 41, towelroot, kingo, stumproot, framaroot, usb methods, one click apk's etc.... you name it, I HAVE TRIED IT... no success... I am unfortunately stuck on verizon's WONDERFUL new jail cell of a software, android 5.1.1 otherwise known as the dreaded VS98535B.. I cannot figure out how to root, downgrade, flash or anything. I will attach a screenshot of the software 411 with this thread. ANY IDEAS are very much welcome and appreciated...
Also having the same issue with my LG tablet as well (fortunately it's not a verizon product). The tablet is the LG V700 Gpad 10.1. I will also attach a screenshot of its' software info as well. cannot figure out a root for it either and have employed all of the above mentioned methods.
What really sucks, both the phone and the tablet were rooted before the upgrades rendered them paperweights...
HMM, can't attach images.... info for each device is as follows:

AGAIN, ANY help at all rooting both devices would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
Also, why would stumproot tell me my tablet IS rooted when every root checker and mods say otherwise? and, What the heck does "modified" mean under "Software status"? My G3 says modified.

i saw this when you posted in xda assist the other day, unfortunately, im not allowed to post there.
your assumptions are wrong, a quick browse of the verizon g3 general forum would have resulted in all the needed info to downgrade from 35b. after which, you can use any of the working roots for whatever version you go to.
Also, it says modified because just the act of trying to root 35B modifies it even though it's not successful.

Hi everybody,
I have been trying to install the official MM Android Concept version on my Z5C for a while now, and I can't make it work. I am using the installer found here (I had to use the Windows version on a PC, since the Mac version keeps having some network problems).
The Android Concept Installer sees my Z5C, tells me that there is some Android Concept software available, but when I try to install it, I get the following error: "Firmware version ID not found".
I am using the stock ROM (never unlocked my bootloader). I have tried first installing the .185 German and Swiss customizations before trying to flash the Android Concept ROM, but it does not help (I have a Swiss Z5C, model number E5823)...
Did anybody manage to install it? If yes, could anybody post a FTF file, so that we can flash it with flashtool?
Thanks a lot
That would be because the concept firmware isn't compatible with the Z5...
Ok, thanks... I thought I had read it was supported, it indeed does not seem to be
Hello!
I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to android development, but since BLUBOO pulled their Android 6.0 update for their 5.1 Picasso 3G phone, I was wondering if a port would be at all possible? I found many guides on the internet but I've bricked a few phones in the past and thought I would ask to see if anyone else has tried/achieved this at all.
I found a ROM that the Picasso 4G uses that is a 6.0 rom - Would this be okay to port or am I going to overwrite the bootloader or whatever I did to my last phone and have another brick to add to my collection, lol?

I know, this thread might be dead for a long time, but since I stumbled upon this thread in order to resurrect my good ol' Picasso, there might be people finding this interesting:
on 4pda, there can be found some custom roms for the Bluboo Picasso 3g. There is also a 6.0-Rom.

"I would like to add that the work is not mine, all the credits and thanks to the guys at the 4pda Russian forum. I'm just sharing it because this was picking up dust in the cloud".
Any chance somebody can share sources for this phone? I am trying to build a fresh ROM for the phone.
bernavaldiesel1, thanks a million man, I've been looking for the working twrp for ages
I have an app that does not work after Android 8 that I need and there is no replacement in 9 or above. I managed to avoid updating my v30 to v9 and later for a year or so. It accidentally allowed the update to 9 this past weekend while I was camping. All I want to do is roll back to stock v8 or 8.1 (Oreo).
I have enough tech knowledge to follow directions and understand rooting but am having a really hard time finding the "right directions." As I was reading some of them, I found caveats like, "Use X unless you have the delta update and then use Y but not if you want to run Z. For Z, you have to follow this other thread." I also know that using the wrong settings or data file could brick the phone.
So, I'm hoping someone can help me narrow down what sets of directions I need to follow.
Here's what I have right now:
LG V30 (VS996) On Verizon Network
Developer Options Enabled
Android V9
Security Patch Level August 1, 2019
Kernel Version: 4.4.153
Build #: PKQ1.190414.001
Software version: VS99630c
Again, all I want to do is roll back to stock v8 or 8.1 (Oreo).
Bonus would also be a way to stop asking me every day to update or delay a day and just wait until I manually do it.
Thx in advance!!
Download the right firmware file for your device from here -
Models - LG-Firmwares.com
Free archive of LG firmwares. Comparison of features and reviews of all mobile devices. Quick download of updates for your device.
lg-firmwares.com
Then download the flash tool from here -
LG Flash Tool Free Download - Official Download Links
LGUP tool is the latest version of LG Flash Tool that allows users to flash stock firmware on LG smartphones and tablet devices. Download LG UP tool 2018 from the official download links.
lgflash.com
Follow the instructions on both the pages. I think you can take it from here.
Note that implied with this process is that you cannot downgrade your firmware without wiping the phone... there's no way to "patch" back to the old version. So, be sure to take backups FIRST.
If you're rooted on the old firmware, you can then disable/freeze/delete the update APKs so that the update warning goes away. But this requires root, so be aware of that. If you don't haven't rooted already, then this is a process of its own, and will require you to go back to Nougat in order to perform that, so you may want to do that before installing the final version of the ROM you want. You can find out how to do this rooting process on the WTF thread, post #193, located here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ar-instructions.3790500/page-10#post-76584629
If you don't want to root, that's fine, but then you must endure the update warning process... unless you can find another way to disable the update APKs.
Thank you both. I expected to wipe the phone so that's not an issue. I will first install Nougat, root and then update to Oreo.
There are about 14 Oreo ROMs on that site. Do I just pick the latest one or do I have to pick the earliest one and update that?
Pick the latest one.
