[Q] UK Lg Optimus L3 E400 Rooting Problem

I have searched everywhere and I think this phone is unable to be rooted. I have discovered the UK version of this phone has a locked down bootloader that will not allow me to gain access any way I try. The phone is running Gingerbread 2.3.6, Build No. GRK39F, Kernel Version 2.6.38.6-perf+ and does not have a su.bin on the phone, nor will it allow me access to put one on it. I get permission denied when i try to remount the partition as r/w. When I try to unlock the bootloader, the phone does reboot but not into bootloader mode. This phone only has a hard reset. No other boot modes (just the factory reset). Chmod/chown will not allow me to change permissions. No matter which application I have tried, I am unable to flash anything to the device, since I can not gain root access. The adb root command gives me an error message as well "adbd cannot run as root in production builds." I know I may be a noob, but I have done a ton of research and have not found anything that will help me. Does anyone has any sort of information that will help me root this device? It would be greatly appreciated!

What programs did you use ?

are you trying to just root or flash custom rom too ?
did you try SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse.zip ?
did you try vroot ? in my signature (guide too)
if you install root browser it will install basic commands on your phone busybox sqlite etc
also check this out it might be your firmware does not support root and you might need to install v10b or v10c kdz

Yes, I have tried every app. The apps I use are pretty much irrelevant though, since there isn't a su binary to request permission from. without the su binary, no app can gain root access.

superoneclick does not work as it requests permission from the su binary, which does not exist. root browser does not work either, as it does not allow me to change permissions or ownership either. chmod and chown in linux don't work either. I get "permission denied" when attempting those commands. I an currently running on v10c, but I can not flash anything, including firmware, to this device either. There's no way to downgrade or upgrade. I get a parameter error when attempting to and then the kdz updater crashes and forces itself closed every time I have tried.
My phone model is LG Optimus L3 E400. I could fix this by change the default.prop file ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0, but I can't write to that file. It's read-only and I can't figure out a way to change that.
I'm really about to just throw this phone out. I had no clue that some phones can not be rooted and would have no further research before buying this one.

you didnt mention vroot was there any error message ?
when you installed root browser on first launch it asks to download little utilities did they install or come with any error ?
also try this super one click 1.7 and select exploit RAGEAGAINSTCAGE in right top corner (it has proven to root problematic e400's)
please update us on your progress
and worst case scenario we will get you to another version of stock and root then

I don't know what vroot did, but it actually worked. you don't know how long I have spent trying to get this done. so many other programs told me that rooting was complete and didn't actually do anything, that when vroot did, I didn't believe it. I thought i was just stuck with a p.o.s. that I couldn't customize. I really appreciate your hep. Thank you so much!

i did but glad i could help

[D855] Updated to V10E, lost and cannot root

I've recently updated to V10E. I used to have a rooted device with towelroot.
After upgrade (done via LG PC suite), I lost the root.
I tried to root using PurpleDrake, all screen instructions and actions go fine, but the device is not rooted.
Is there a way to root V10E version at all ?

PurpleDrake - Lite is the only method of rooting this firmware at the moment, and it does work.
If you are having issues then either its your pc, or you not following the instructions that is the problem.

What PC has to do here?
What kind of instructions are you talking about?
It's a simple ".bat" file that only requires to press Enter twice, that's about it.
Adb does see my phone, USB debugging is on and etc.
Temproot and Permaroot are being applied fine, no errors or anything. But it just doesn't work.
I can print a screen shot if you want.

By doesn't work what are you referring to? If the .bat file says its applying the files fine then it means it transferred the required files to your phone without error, there is then no reason for it not to be present when you reboot?
How do you know it didn't work?

I updated my D855 rooted with towelroot last night via the OTA update and retained root, apart from having to turn xposed back on. The reports of inconsistent results I'm hearing are really odd. Mine's a 16gb model on ee, what's yours?

You can't install SuperSU, or when you open super su it fails to find the binary?

I even tried to run your guide to restore the phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-unroot-ota-using-lg-pc-suite-pc-t2802286) and then apply purpledrake but the phone remains unrooted.

that sounds like a separate issue. You do not need to be rooted to install the app from the Play Store, it just won't do anything if you install it without having root. The fact its not letting you install it is linked to some other issue, are you sure you don't have any other SU apps already installed, if you do remove them all first (including SuperSU if you have that installed) and then reboot before trying to download it again.

So originally, when I was on v10b and rooted with towelroot I had super su installed.
After that the phone told me there is OTA available which I immediately tried to install.
Since I also had dpi changed, OTA update failed. With that I lost the root, supersu disappeared from applications.
I then upgraded to v10e via LG PC suite. And now trying to root using PurpleDrake.
Super SU shows as not installed in Play Store. Titanium Backup doesn't see such apk installed.
I dont have any other "su" applications installed.
Any suggestions on how to fix it ?

Try to go to menu > settings > apps and see if you can see the SU app there.
Failing that your best option might be to factory reset and then root.

It's not there.
Also, as I said before rootchecker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en) says the phone is not rooted.
I assume it doesn't use supersu to check whether it's rooted.

That's the output from console.

never used it before, but I would have thought that it would request SU permissions which would require an SU app.

Did a factory reset and root works now.

Does ZTE Max 2 have custom recovery / root available?

Strange, I don't see ZTE Max 2 forum, so naturally I thought I'd post here.
Phone looks great on paper, but not sure if we can mod it. Thanks!

Probably no recovery yet but you can try Kingroot app to root the device. I have the first Zmax since it first came out and it was a pnta to mod. We were able to use Kingroot to root it but have to flash scripts to maintain r/w acess. Don't get me wrong the phone without root is still a great bang for the buck. If I were you I would read through the original Zmax forum.

No root right now. srsroot announced couple time but never worked. Kingroot tried some new way but still failed at the end.

Fastboot disabled
The ZTE ZMax 2 (Z958) from what I have discovered has a disabled fastboot. Without fastboot we will not be able to unlock the boot loader. Which in turn will not allow us to flash a alternative recovery.

Does that mean no root? or we have to wait until root to enable fast boot?

zmax2 z955l
can any one help, just bought this zmax2 z955l phone from a non-profit organization but it kept asking for the previous email that was sync with the phone last.

has any one found a way to root the z958 yet been browsing for quite sometime and everything i've tried simply doesnt work.

Any new developments on this? I am running out of space and would like to use link2sd but it tells me I need Root access.

Has anyone tried to use the OEM unlock in developer options menu?

I have a potential root on my zmax 2. I got kingoroot on my computer and rooted it with a charging USB cord. Kingo root said it was successful and its super user app asked for root acces .
However when I download an app that uses roo . It would ask for permission uponnhitting the allow button, after a while it would say access denied.
Also root checkers will say it isn't rooted... I hope this helps at all. I guess you could say its like a semi-root. I do not know, however, if it stays after I reboot the phone

Kingo PC is actually working!!! but the kingo's superuser app has some problem with. you have to Deny and Allow the app that request for root couple times. Or you can uninstall the kingo superuser app in order to get root. But this is only a Temp root. Hopefully someone can compile a twrp for Zmax2 and hopefully we can use flashify to flash twrp..

This would be very nice!

Um if you uninstall the super user app from Kingo and get like SuperSU, it requires that it get the binarys however it won't ever get them and basically you're stuck on a temp rooted phone..

Is anyone still on this? I was able to gain perm root I believe. After reboot, root sticks. I followed a guide to turn off nand / system write protection using ADB, then was able to use PC KingoRoot. In adb I used "adb reboot disemmcwp" to disable write protection. To re-enable it says to issue this command "adb reboot emmcwpenab". Here is the link to the post I used before attempting PC KingoRoot

Successfully rooted LP 5.1.1 without downgrade

Yesterday I successfully rooted my Z3C - 5.1.1. (never rooted before) with kingoroot 4.5 apk and install TWRP recovery whitout problems
attached link with all files..

Working! Thank you!

can anyone confirm this? Should I trust Kingoroot?
edit: it failed with error code 0x173c17

Did not work

Worked for me.

I rooted my z3c on fw 23.4.A.1.264 with kingroot v 4.80

rooted with kingroot too... working

I used KingRoot 4.8.2 from this topic on the firmware .264. It worked !

VERY interested in this. Do you lose camera functionality?
Edit - to be more specific did you need to back up your TA partition to restore your DRM keys for advanced features? I'm not interested in unlocking boot loader - just want root if that is possible.

No this is just the root. No need to unlock the bootloader or anything else, so we lose nothing.

This thread should be closed, isn't this app banned on XDA? I would not use this period! This app just installs crapware on your phone and i'm sure they get ad revenue from all the built in ads with the app. There is no telling what private information is stolen from your device as well. I repeat i would not use this period.

KINGROOT and any software on XDA is always 'user beware'
That means do your research and MAKE BACKUPS!
The xda staff no longer has any issues with KINGROOT. They made the needed changes to remain on XDA.
I actually use it personally on my Xperia T2 Ultra running 5.1.1. The app didn't work for me, but the pc version did.
With root I use ti backup to remove unwanted extras.

Another confirm working root.
Working with supersume btw (see playstore).
Now on SuperSU instead of kingoroot.
Finally root + full device encryption

Try using this guide: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html
Worked like a charm 3x in a row.

So just to confirm, this does not impact the DRM keys?
EDIT: Also, presumably it does not wipe any data, images etc. on the phone?

beware that Kingoroot and Kingroot have all permission to collect your data. Kingoroot have more permission than Kingroot

I think kingroot is not stable. I used this root in 2 devices already, but same.
For example, TB not working with this root.

Kingroot sends your IMEI number to China as well and I got rid of it instantly and installed SuperSU after

Root Xperia Z2 Tablet (All Models/Regions) on 5.1.1 build 23.4.B.0.319 in 3 Steps

Hello everyone,
I've noticed that there hasn't been any threads about rooting the Xperia Z2 Tablet on lollipop. Most threads have discussed how to root the device on 4.4.4 and to create an update image to maintain your root whilst updating to 5.0+.
I've scoured the interwebs and found nothing so I'll make it easy for those whom don't know how to achieve root or don't want to do much work without creating images and such.
First off I'm not responsible for any inconvenience that may come with rooting your device and losing your warranty. I can and will be willing to help out in restoring or answering questions that you may have.
This method uses Kingroot... For those who have a problem with kingroot, it is only used to achieve root and this guide will also be showing you how to remove kingroot and install Supersu with ease. Using the link below download the necessary files: Kingroot V4, Supersume, XZDualRecovery 2.8.26. Place all these files on the root of your devices internal storage/SD card excluding Xdualrecovery as that needs a PC. (If you want to Xposed working I will also supply the files needed for that as well). https://www.mediafire.com/download/wrsajbgw2jr6czt
*Make sure you have unknown sources enabled under Settings>Security>Device administrators as well as Developer Options available and USB debugging enabled. (To enable Developer Options go to Settings>About Tablet>Build Number and click it 10 times).
1. Install NewKingroot.apk and run the application. It will notify you that a root method was found and to try it. It may take up to 2 minutes to achieve root. (If all you wanted was root and are content with kinguser then you're done! :good: if you want Supersu and/or a custom recovery then continue on to step 2!
2. Connect your Tablet to your PC via microUSB. On your PC open and extract the contents of TabZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined.zip to your desktop. Now double click install.bat a screen will pop up providing you with options to install xdualrecovery. Choose option 2. Installation on ROM rooted with SuperUser by pressing 2 and enter. The script will run its course and tell you to grant permission on your tablet. Open up your tablet and a kinguser prompt will show asking you to grant or deny permission to ADB (Grant it!!!) afterwards your tablet will reboot on it's own to TWRP. (I advise you to either make a backup of the tablet now or after you install Supersu as insurance in case of any mishaps). Click reboot System.
3.Install Supersume, open the application and run it. It will of course ask to grant it permission (Grant it!!!) it will check the environment (making sure that there isn't any Pokemon nearby that you don't need... Sorry Pokemon Go reference) and it will begin removing kingroot and install Supersu. If you didn't have Supersu installed already great! It'll open up Supersu automatically. Supersu may ask you to update binaries (DO NOT click TWRP as it will reboot and you have to start the process over from step one!!! :crying: Just click Normal and once it says successful you're done! :victory: The next step is optional if you Want Xposed.
*Optional 4. Install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk. Open your app drawer and open NDR Utils. It will ask for permission (Grant it!!!) now here you may choose your preferred recovery... Philz Touch Recovery,TWRP or Clockwork Mod Recovery. Click Reboot to Primary Recovery (fourth option) once it's rebooted you want to click install>SD>xposed-v85.1-sdk22-arm-by-romracer-20160620.zip and swipe to install. You should get a success when it's finished. Now simply reboot and your apps will be upgrading. Congratulations you now have root with SuperSU and xposed! :victory:
**if you wish to uninstall Xposed simply reboot to recovery and click install>SD>xposed-uninstaller-20151218-arm.zip uninstall the application once it's rebooted and you're good to go!
***if you have a problem with Supersume not working, reinstall Newkingroot.apk and run it again to get root. Then run supersume again (Grant permission!!!) and let it run its magic.
If anyone has issues, has questions or needs help PM and I will do my best to help and answer all your questions. Please don't be discouraged because I'm new here! I will be soon adding a link to a video tutorial on how all these steps can be done!

Glad it worked for you. Just wanted to help people out as I had invested time trying to figure out my own. I didn't like flashing files constantly so tried making easy.

Never had luck with kingoapp and today isnt any different

Thanks so much. I am away for another week but I can not wait to try this. I got a verizon z2 tablet since it seemed to be the cheapest 10 inch tablet. You have breathed new life in to it.

Am i correct that you don't provide the kingroot.apk?
Which version are you using?

How do you boot into custom recovery from device off? Everytime I try it takes me to the stock recovery

Power off device. While device is booting up at the Sony logo hold power and volume down/up (depends on customer recovery) until led flashes green and device vibrates then let go

That's great news to hear! I picked one up and wanted to root and I did on KitKat but when I upgraded to lollipop I lost root and rooted it the long way... Needed something simpler and couldn't find anything on here. So I wanted to make sure a guide was available to all. Enjoy and let me know how it went

If you're talking about your google drive, there is no kingoapp.apk in there
All there is:
- supersume.apk
- tabz-lockeddualrecovery
- xposed uninstaller
- xposed v85.1
- xposed installer

I downloaded the most recent kingroot, which worked on my Verizon sgp561, and then I used your superuser file to change over to su. Seems to work just fine.. I'm on 5.1.1.

I tried the most recent kingroot and it fails.
An old version gave me an error code of 0x162982

Let me double check and if anything I'll post a link to the apk
Sorry that you're having issues though

Thanks for confirming! If you didn't see the KingRoot apk in drive I'll upload the current version!
