Hello
Im new here. I just want to ask you how can i root my lg spirit. Everything doesnt work and im newbie. Can you help me please ?
Are you on Marshmallow right now? If yes, you need to go to lolipop, root the phone, unlock the bootloader, flash stock Marshmallow through TWRP and flash a root package like SuperSU.

Now, you can install TWRP app from Playstore and download the latest twrp-3.1.1-0-c70n.img available for us. Then, download Flashify app and flash that .img downloaded.
Thus, you'll have a TWRP installed on your phone, from wich you'll able to flash wathever you want.
I did everything but after flashing v20b and supersu v2.78 i just lost root :/ why ?
but i rooted my phone by kingoroot cuz when i rooted it on kingroot than twrp always leave a message "fail flash"

If TWRP app is not working then try flashify.
Finally i rooted my phone and installed v20b. Should i install something else ? something faster and better ?

How to Root a G2 which has TWRP installed?
Hi there!
I'm a beginner and I would be grateful if you could help me with this.
While trying to install CyanogenMod, I rooted my G2 using ioroot and then install Autorec. At this point I made a mistake and recover KitKat stock with Autorec, loosing root privileges. Now when I try to root using ioroot, the device shows me the TWRP menu.
I am stuck here. How could I root and install CyanogenMod????
Thanks a lot!!! Please let me know if this is not the right place for asking this in the forum.
Hi,
I think you can download flashable SuperSu and flash it via TWRP.

Hi @TwinHeadedEagle, thanks a lot for your reply. I installed SuperSu through GooglePlay, after being installed it requested to make some modifications through TWRP, which it successfully did. At this point I was wondering wether I actually had root access or not to my device, so I decided to install Root Checker. This last one says that 'Root access is properly installed on this device'.
So I guess that I am root and I can with 'Installing CyanogenMod from recovery' as it is showed at https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_d802.
Am I right?
Root is not required to install CM, only a custom recovery.
I have a d802. It was running stock Lollipop with no root. I installed a custom recovery (TWRP) and was able to flash CM12.1, Cloudy, and Orion.

Thanks @audit13! At first I was exceptional about using customs roms, but It certainly has given new life into my D802. I find very sad that companies do not work for keeping our devices updated, It is a way of planned obsolescence. My D802 has more than enough hardware for what I use it and now that I have managed to update it (without the help of LG) it is like having a brand new phone!
Thanks to all the xda-developers community!

Off Topic, but in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/official-cm11s-roms-ota-updates-t2906746, you will find signed flashable zips for 13.1 which can be flashed from TWRP.

Loosing root is expected. Next time you upgrade your ROM, you can try using FireFlash or something similar to try and retain root. But regarding bootloop I am not sure. I usually flash the ROM and gapps and let it boot. If everything is working, then only I flash superSU. Which version are you flashing anyways?
Hi can anyone help me?
I want to root my spirit but I am on Android 6.0 so I want to install stock 5.0. How can I flash it without root
Unlock the bootloader then flash TWRP recovery and Flash supersu zip now your device is rooted

If you have lollipop then you can root with kingo root and if you have flashed poland stock ROM you can flash supersu zip for root
Edit:- if you want to install stock 5.0 you can use lg flash tool it does not require root access

ok thanks
I have bought an LG G6 (US997) and planning on rooting it.
Can it be rooted and keep the stock ROM?
TIA
Yes course it can lol.
Yeah you can
I have rooted h870 with stock rom but when you get a new ota you can't install then you need a zip file for the new update and install it with your twrp
Thanks for the replies!
So, the G6 will be rooted the moment I unlock the bootloader?
No ! after unlocking the bootloader you need to install twrp and root ( superSu or Magisk ) for your phone but before doing it your phone need to be a free carrier
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/development/recovery-twrp-lg-g6-us997-unofficial-t3629883
So you have 3 steps
1-Unlock bootloader
2-Flash twrp
3-Flash root
Good luck and be carefull to no brick your phone or lose your data
You should really do some more research before doing this. You clearly don't have a clue.

When you say Flash root , do I simply install SuperSU? If yes, what method of installation works? Play Store, ADB, or TWRP?
Thanks again.

I'd recommend Magisk over SuperSU at this point. Download the Magisk zip and flash it with TWRP.
If you don't root immediately after installing TWRP, your phone will revert to the stock recovery on the next boot.
Try this guide, it will answer some of your questions:

My phone is rooted but I want to install TWRP so I can install Magisk to hide root status from some apps. I've tried downloading the TWRP official app but after I flash the latest img (3.2.1.0) and boot to recovery I get a "Start Up Failed" message.
I've also tried using Odin to flash it (without root status) and I keep getting "SHA 256" error. Any tips?

You can't flash TWRP if the bootloader is locked. Since it appears you have a US version of Verizon's S8, the bootloader is locked. I know they've released Safestrap which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/recovery-locked-nougat-7-0-safestrap-t3772760, maybe that will help? I don't think you'll be able to flash Magisk though.....

Get the exynos s8 if you want twrp.

Ah okay.. This is unfortunate hah. I only wanted TWRP to have Magisk in order to hide root status, but I guess I'd be better off unrooting then. Actually, I will try safestrap first. Thanks!
edit: Wait if I just downgrade firmware to anything 6.0+ that has TWRP working that should work right?
