Hi, everyone. I have a LG L Fine since I bought it some days ago and I'm trying to root it so I can get rid of some apps. I'd tried PurpleDrake, but it gets stuck in "Waiting for device". VRoot gets an error and Stump won't work for my phone.
Can someone tell me how to root it? Thanks.

I've rooted it with PurpleDrake. You need to have latest LG drivers. Then you need to manually install SU and busybox.

One Click Root

What rooting method did you use? Have you tried z4root from the adndroid market? It seems to be the best and simplest rooting method.

it has been removed, try a google search "z4root apk"
You could find the answer here. ^_^
i used z4root the first time and when i tried to open some of the installed apps it kept telling me it wasnt rooted. Now im trying this one Here And it says i cant do it because my systems 64bit and i need java 32bit, this is the part im confused on.

The best and easy way to root is the Z4root. Just install the app, run it, click on Permanent root and you are there after a reboot of the handset (automatic).
You can verify you are rooted successfully by looking for a app called "Superuser" with icon of a android skeleton kind of thing.
The next one is "super1clickroot" method which involves running a program in your PC and using it to root. Search for the above mentioned term and you can find the guide on how to do it.
Hope this helps.

What is your installed apps? Check the permission in your Superuser apps. All apps that need ROOT goes there.
Hi Guys...great forum btw!
Was wondering could I pick your brains on an issue I'm having with my G2?
My D802 international version was running JB 4.2.2 which was rooted and with stock recovery.
I updated to KK 4.4.2 via LG Update Tool and all went well but obviously I lost root privileges. I attempted to root again via IOroot 25 and the process appears to run smoothly as it should, but when I use root checker it informs me that I don't have proper root.
I have used both auto and manual and both ways the process appears to go without a hitch but still not rooted....any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Did you run the automatic (.bat) or manual root procedure?

Ran both procedures...both seemed to run flawlessly but still not rooted.
I think you have to go to your Su app on your phone and change the default access to "grant" that's all, and check again if says u r rooted.

Thanks for your reply. I know Super SU is included in the IOroot25 zip file but after I go through the rooting process Super SU is not installed on device...I have to manually install it afterwards.... But still not rooted
Try running the manual once again, worked right away for me...
Hello guys, I just bought an LG G2 VS980 like 2 weeks ago and everything was working fine till yesterday, I decided to root the phone to do some tweaks to it and I found some problems that were not there before rooting.
The problems were.
-Slow charing
-Battery Draining.
First thing I did today in the morning was UNROOT the device because I thought the problems would be solved in that way, to my surprise they are still there!!
I tried to put back the stock rom but my phone can't enter into download mode, tried rooting and entering with TWRP and I can't root my phone with the same method again :crying::crying: stump root says "ERROR: Unsupported device" When it is at 13,000.
Is there any way I could go back to stock without using download mode or TWRP?
HEEELP!!!!
Thank you in advance guys, I know you guys work hard to build such a great and helpful community.

But you need to be root to do that right? Because I CAN'T root stump root is telling me that my device is unsupported, maybe SuperSU did not fully uninstall.

Have you tried downloading and running AutoRec instead of StumpRoot? StumpRoot roots your device but doesn't install TWRP. AutoRec will downgrade your bootloader to Jelly Bean and will install TWRP as a custom recovery.

Will AutoRec work even if I am not rooted? I read that I have to grant permissions, so...

Sorry I misread your initial situation. Yes, AutoRec will need to be given elevated privileges and will need to be run after using IORoot25. Have you tried IORoot25 before?

Thank you but still no luck with IOroot25, it says I have 4.4.2 (which is true) so it means it is an unsupported version.
Don't know what to do :crying:

How did you exactly go about unrooting your device? Did you use the Full UnRoot option in SuperSU? If so, this post may enlighten you.

What tweaks did you do to your phone before all this happened? It sounds like some of your partitions are corrupt.

I am not able to enter into download mode so I can't use the flash tool, I supposed that I am stuck in this point and there's nothing I could do
And what I was trying to do with my phone was just trying to hide my buttons that sometimes bother me when watching videos, that's all I wanted to do with root but now I will be forever using Android 4.4.2 26a :'(
And wow d00lz thank you I really appreciate your help.

Oh sorry, I unrooted with the SuperSU option to unroot.
SOLVED
All I needed was to get into download mode, the problem was a combination of usb port + cable. Both my laptop and my desktop only have 3.0 usb ports, but I found a couple of 2.0 ports at the back of the case (the ones that come with the mobo), when I tried with those ports it inmediately entered into download mode .
Now I am using official lollipop (manual OTA) without root
Thank you for all your help d00lz
Hi, I bought LG Fino with branded android 4.4.2. After first boot i made system update, and now I can't root my phone. Purpledrake shows me error (attached file). Yes, I have latest version of LG driver and usb debug is on. I tried also kingo root, and still nothing. Is it possible to root my phone?

Exactly. if anyone can help root my lg fino v10c? I have the same error as above mate.
If there isn't an updated tool to root the new version, then your only hope will be to find the firmware to downgrade. This is why you never officially update modded devices. This goes for Android, Apple, and pretty much anything else.

I was also unable but not the same problem (mine just wait for the phone eternally...). First I updated it to brand free V10e (from V10e Movistar-Spain) following this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-reflashing-stock-rom-d290-d295-t3142456
I highly recommend this step because experimented an important behavior improvement. During the process I experimented some driver problems but were solved:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64589488&postcount=4
And then I use this method to root it successfully:
http://www.smartphoneclinics.com/one-click-root-lg-fino-d290n/
I think the tool doesn't differ too much from PurpleDrake one but was the one that worked for me. After uninstalling some bloatware and installing a new launcher (CM-Trebuchet) it feels like a completely different phone.
I don't know if this is approved by xda but Kingo Root actually worked on the D290n for me, and I mean the apk version, not desktop. Why not give it a try?
