Hi there,
I've been looking for a way to root my phone and found petrescu's rooting guide. He said there it was tested on V10 A,C, I. My software is v10c-DEC-07-2012, however the process stucks at "Waiting..." sign in the window.
What am I doing wrong? Debugging is turned ON and LG software installed ;|
Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure what Petrescu's guide is but I personally used the rooting method from this link and my L7 was rooted within less than 5 minutes!
Follow the link at the end of this website to unlock the bootloader then follow the link for installing CWM and you won't have any issue.
I haven't found a better guide than this so far...
This is petrescu's guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906133
The rooting method is the same, even files package is identical. While rooting, the shell is stuck at "Waiting..." or a little further at "Waiting for /data/local.prop..."
I've attached the screen.
UPDATE: Posting again for visibility.
Apparently, rooting doesn't work because I have v10C local polish version and I need OPEN version of v10c. Can someone tell me how to flash this?

@Macors - why you don't update to newest software and then try to root??
In PL: Zrob poprostu update do najnowszej wersji softu i wtedy najnormalniej rootuj

Ok, I updated the phone to V20C ( Android 4.1.2 ) version. What is the method of rooting this software?
[EDIT] Finally rooted my phone with Framaroot app. Thanks for the "tremendous" support I guess.

Hi all. I have an unrooted US transformer and im trying to downgrade to .9 so i can root.
However, when i try to do this it gives me an android guy with an exclamation point. Also when i reboot it says error code 2.
I know i have all the right files and im not using another country's file.
Plz help!
Also im using windows 7 and my current build is 8.4.4.5
Thanks!
I am not sure which method/guide you are using but over the last few days an easier method has become available that may help you:
Nvflash unbricking released!. Even though the title mentions unbricking the instructions include installing all the rooting tools and a custom ROM.
If that is not what you need then you may want to follow this guide which includes instructions for downgrading:
[GUIDE] STOCK (8.2.3.9/8.2.3.13/8.4.4.5) to 3.1 (PRIME! v1.4) + Overclock!
Good luck
Doing it now. Thanks!
UPDATE: It works. Thanks a million.
please im not professional in android i need someone to tell me how to update my mobile lg l5 from ics 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 or jelly bean ..and when i update it by wifi it says to me i have the latest version installed ..anyone tell me how to do it manually instead of waiting for an official update ?
Edit: Before you going to do anything take off battery and look under your battery what type LG L5 you got. This guide is for E610 and E612.
You will need this guide:

in the guide he is saying he isnt sure it will work for 4.0.3 versions and this is my version :S any way to upgrade to 4.0.4 ?
Okey these guides will work for you.
The first guide will update your base firmware to V20A_Rooted it will update your 4.0.3 to 4.1.2, and will get you a unlocked bootloader and cwm installed.
After you installed the V20A base firmware you go to the Second guide.
That guide will install Android 4.1.2 CLEAN and with no keyboard errors, its all working fine and i am using it to.

thank you too much but one last question if anything went wrong can i return my phone to the way before i updated it with this guide or there is no way to install again official firmware ?
If you want to keep your files you will need to copy them to your pc.
Use Titaniumbackup to update apps.
You can backup your contacts/music etc to your External sdcard.
And if there is something going wrong and you want to go back there are unbrick guides enough i will help you if anything will go wrong. But i did everything and its working very good.
If you need any help ask me.
Edit: List of all firmwares: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=12 this list contains all versions, so if anything is going wrong with v20a its easy to go back to V10L ore V10A/V10B

Hello, i am looking for help to find out what i need to set up/have in order to flash a custom rom.
All i have is stock G2 with the latest update, phone model is LG-D802, android version is 4.4.2 and it not rooted.
I know first off i need to root the damn thing, but if any of you could point out some kind of post or guide with some kind of step by step info of how to root and after that how to continue with a flash of rom that would be awesome.
I`ve spend some time around the forum looking for such post but couldnt find one, and i am kinda scared to do this on my own since i`ve soft bricked a lot of my old devices.

easiest method, is to use the KDZ method (huge thread on it here) to get back to jelly bean, then download towleroot. one click root.
Hello everyone, I'm a brand new member with a couple questions.
I have read many threads here and elsewhere and have recently found two possible sources of information to help me finally unlock my boot loader > backup nandroid > flash cyanogenmod. Profit.
My Droid Razr M has root access. System Version: 98.18.94.XT907.Verizon.en.US / Android JB 4.1.2 / Build Number 9.8.1Q-94
Wen I started, I got used to the idea of staying with JB 4.1.2. It has worked well over the year. And having root and Titanium Backup has given me great power over my phone.
I would like to ask if it is possible to both root and unlock the newer KK 4.4.2 using the these methods I have found and my phone.
First PrankCallPimp youtube guide states I need to flash from JB 4.1.2 to Verizon stock KK 4.4.2 using RSDLite
Second Mr. Blue Coat provides a better stepwise guide outlining root access and unlock procedures, but starting with KK 4.4.2. Very Complete Blog.
I have assembled all of the files these sources suggest to have on hand during the project.
Additional questions. Is PrankCallPimp's method to flash to KK 4.4.2 using VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF.xml files in RSDLite correct? His video cuts out after a while. After flashing KK 4.4.2 the phone will be similar to a factory reset and be susceptible to OTA updates. Currently I use Voodoo OTA to prevent updates. Should I reinstall Voodoo OTA to prevent Verizon pushed updates or go from there to root access and boot loader unlock procedures?
I have never liked following a youtube guide and wonder if there is a printed version I could review before starting. Also I installed RSDLite and my phone can be detected by the program.
I think if Mr. Blue Coats guide is acceptable to everyone, I could follow it with no problems.
What I'm worried about is giving up my currently profitable root access on JB 4.1.2 to go to KK 4.4.2.
It seems that if I really want an unlocked boot loader, I must take KK 4.4.2
If these two guides work, with someone's help, I would be happy to join them into a single clear guide to post here.
I lack the experience most of you have so I'm reaching out with these questions before I even consider going through with this.
Thanks All. Ps. I'm in no hurry.
Read this thoroughly
Thank You
Thank you for the ultrafast help!
There was my answer: 4. RESTORING / UPGRADING STOCK FIRMWARE.
And all the additional tools required for root access and boot loader unlock.
I have a question

Hello,
I was trying to update my LG G2 to Lollipop using German official release available since yesterday. The problem I'm having is that the firmware update mode goes to x % then I can see red text "Assert" in the second line and then phone restarts and shows 0% and doing nothing. LGFlashTool2014 is showing message that something went wrong (or similar) and I can try again. It's happening all the time - over and over - sometimes it's 30%, sometimes 60%. I was trying to back to KitKat using LG Mobile Support Tool - same situation. When I'm trying to restart my phone, it's restarting to download mode all the time :/
Please help
@edit
Ok, after about 4 hours I fixed it using TOT method (version D80210b for Europe). So if there's a problem with KDZ method, maybe anyone knows when - or if - it will be Lollipop version for TOT method?
@edit2
So - after I bring my G2 to life using TOT method and older KitKat I thought I could try with Lollipop again. And now it works! Good morning to Lollipop! So I hope it might be helpful for others with similar problems
What I did exactly?
1. Trying to install Lollipop using KDZ method and something was going wrong all the time - keep restarting to download mode.
2. Performed hard reset.
3. Fixed problems by installing downgrade using TOT method.
4. Installed Lollipop using same file I was trying to use before and I chose Normal Flash method.
5. Good morning to Lollipop!
Hi im in the same situation,,, have you downloaded one of these http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/D802+tot/ using TOT method? which image have you used for lollipop? you can pm me if u want thx @edit have you used KDZ method to upgrade to lollipop? ty
I used LGD802AT-V10b-EUR-XX-SEP-07-2013-16G.exe (sorry, can't add links because I don't have 10+ posts ) For Lollipop I used KDZ method with official LG G2 image for Germany 16GB version
