How to root this smartphone? Needed help. Thank you.
Did you find the way?
Hello,
did you find the way or an article to root this phone? I tried following E400 manual, but it doesn't work.
Thanks
SuperOneClick with rageagainstthecage. Do a quick search on the forums first, there is a tutorial here about rooting this phone

Where? I cant find it. Please don't let it be a secret
Download SuperOneClick here and root with rageagainstthecage method.
Ok, I'll give it a go -as long as you promise I wont brick it
BTW is there a free way to unlock it around?

Havent been able to get it to root. Superoneclick hangs on waiting for device.
I havent used it before - the expolit options are just Auto, psneuter and zergrush. They all hang. Should rageagainsthecage be an option there?

I cant even get it to install new apps to the external sd card with the "pm set-install-location 2" method
when i execute "pm get-install-location" it comes back with "2", but then when I try to install an app from the play store it goes straight to internal memory!"
I went for the E430 because it has "jelly-bean" but its a very limited phone if I cant get root and/or install apps and apps data to the external card

So, on further research.... its jelly bean and I dont think rageagainstthecage exploit works on that (even though I cant find it on superoneclick)
Also jelly bean has disabled app2sd entirely. There is a workaround where a script can swap sd/external sd so the os thinks ext mem is internal, but I havent been able to try it as it requires root to work.
So, we'll just have to twiddle our thumbs until someone who has a E430 actually roots it and lets us know how

Yes, seems like the jelly bean OS has made the existing root hacks redundant.
Should we combine the two threads into one to perhaps get more attention?
Also, I think the fact with JB you cant write apps to the ext SD is a *huge* drawback with this phone as it has such little memory. I would love, once someone has rooted it, to be able to rollback to the last version of android which allows writing apps to the card. Gingerbread?

If u talk about a NEW LG E430 L3 -2 (II) then ur options are very rare. This device is to new for a working root method.
I tried ALL rooting Tools u could find in the web...and NOTHING works.
So flashed a E435 dual SIM ROM with KDZ Flasher. Now I've a 98% working ROOTED ROM. Only Home-key a. MENU-Key doesn't work, the BACK-key works. Not such a big problem for me cuz I used/installed VIRTUAL BUTTONS and everything is fine again. Language is in EN and some other European.
---
It's ur personal decision to do the same. If u really going risky, like me, I'll send u all infos about that ROM flash.

You're right! I have E400f, and not E430. I don't know why I got confused, and thought we're talking about E400 or E405. That is why I didn't understand what's the big problem - and that is why I wrote I done it pretty easily...
Sorry for that.
bohenian wrote that he succeeded with E435. Maybe you should try it. Look here.

Good Night guys,
First, I'm sorry if this is the wrong place, I'm new here. I want to root my LG Optimus L3 II e435f dual, 'cause, just like any Linux user, I need freedom... well, I've been trying two ways:
First One:
Software: Kingo Root Android 1.2.2
It fails in the end, saying "NeedRoot" as error message. I've tried even shutdown de antivirus, but didn't work
I think I did everything ok, but I can't understand
Second:
Software: framaroot
In framaroot 1.4.1, any exploit gives me this message: "Faile ... Try other exploit if available". In 1.6.0 or above, the program crashes with SuperSU and Gandalf, and gives the same message in other configurations.
Also, I've tried with unlockroot one-click-"something", but nothing
Please, help me understande this issue. Thanks for the help
Need 2 more details

garyd9 said:
There's some misinformation going around concerning lollipop (android 5.0), root, and the SHIELD tablet. I'm posting this (redundant) information to (hopefully) clear things up and prevent someone from causing themselves a headache after the tablet updates...
nvidia has stuck very close to AOSP in their tablet firmware updates, so it's a reasonable assumption (at this point) that the new firmware will also be very close to AOSP.
If that comes to be, then "rooting" the tablet will be more difficult than in previous firmware updates. Most of the gory details can be found in this G+ article by @Chainfire : https://plus.google.com/113517319477420052449/posts/VxjfYJnZAXP
(BTW, as always, a huge thanks to Chainfire for his efforts. If you haven't already, paying for the upgrade to "SuperSU Pro" is well worth the price if for no other reason than to encourage Chainfire to continue work on that project.)
If you don't understand the details of that post from chainfire, I'll try to summarize it: Even if you manage to get a copy of the "su" binary on your system partition (which is essentially the goal of all the older root exploits), it won't matter much in Android 5.0. In Android 5.0, we'll ALSO need a part of the kernel image changed (the ramdisk) so that a part of "superSU" can run at a more permissive context.
Updating the kernel ramdisk shouldn't be too difficult (if its compressed with the kernel in a normal way) once we have the image to play with. As well, in order to put the newly modified kernel image in place, a person would have to unlock their bootloader (which can void your warranty.)
Actually, it's possible (once the image is released by nvidia) that @Chainfire will stick the image on his server in one of his very easy to use "CF-Auto-Root" bundles. (Hopefully, all the @ references I've made will get him to look at this thread and confirm what I've said. The honest truth is that I'm NOT familiar with SELinux, so I'd have to do a bit of experimenting to get this working.)
Take care

Have you found any specifics on what will need to be modified in the ramdisk? I haven't really done anything with the boot.img itself but I'd be interested to see what is going on with this.

It seems to be. Only problem I have run into is that FX file explorer root mode doesn't seem to work, but ES does so I think it's an app compatibility with 5.0 thing rather than a problem with root.

Awesome, I use FolderMount to link my obb files from the sd card to the main so that my largest game files are all on my sd card. I actually have the premium version so I just link my whole obb folder and data folder but I would guess linking any obb and then seeing if the game would load would test it. As for Titanium a backup/delete/restore of any app would test all of the features. Thanks for checking that out

I was starting to wonder how I was the only person (or at least the first) to have that idea.
So I already installed the update for lollipop. Although I was rooted using towelroot, I never installed CWM or unlocked my bootloader. Is it too late to follow the instructions to unlock my bootloader at this point? Do I need to just wait for another root method?

One thing has nothing to do with the other.
Lollipop requires some changes to have root access and that was only possible with a modified kernel.
Now Chainfire managed to root the Lollipop without a custom kernel.
But installing ZIP file of root need a custom recovery , so still need to have the device with unlocked bootloader .
I've done the root Lollipop using this new root method of Chainfire.

If you read the article it appears that there is no need to install a zip in a custom recovery to get root with this method.

Hmmm interesting.
Then the process should be with CF-Auto-Root .
I used one of those before when I first root in Lollipop.
But thought the command "mfastboot boot cf-auto-root.img" only work with unlocked bootloader and not the locked too.
Amazing.
Me excite!
You can only flash signed zips, so this only makes it easier because you dont need a device specific package for rooting

OF course
This revelation means that Android 5.0 users*no longer need to run a modified kernel to gain root access via SuperSU (or other root solutions). While not a huge problem on Nexus devices with unlockable bootloaders, the need for ramdisk modifications was concerning for many users of bootloader-locked devices for which no unlock is available (yes, they do unfortunately exist). The answer to their prayers is now here, and we can present an exclusive explanation of the changes needed. At least for now (until/unless Google patch this), it is possible to gain root access and then install and use SuperSU on a stock Android 5.0 device, without any kernel ramdisk tweaking. The reason for this is the need for SuperSU to run a service as root, to allow for unconstrained root access on SELinux-protected devices.
Bump. We need root. Can't believe nobody seems to be working on a workaround. No safestrap? No kexec? No root? What happened to our glorious hackers?

So in the Note 4 Dev page "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60610290&postcount=173" they have achieved root on KK (4.4.4) by using King Root. Unfortunately due to the status of the locked boot loader on the Note 4, it is only temp and will unroot the phone after a reboot. Has anyone with a Note 3 tried using King Root yet? And if so, do you only have temp root like the N4?
King Root works on generic 32 bit phones. Note 3 is a 32-bit phone

I have been reading up on the Note 4 forum on Xda and people are saying that it may take couple tries before root access is granted. *Must be online for the app to work, as it connects to their servers to see what exploits can be used to root the phone.
I m on 4.4.4 NJ6, i tried to root with kingroot but it seens that doesn't work
can also confirm that nk1 it did not work. I've even gone as far as trying the pingpong root and the root that the xperia recently got. We are all desperate.
Have any of you guys try opening king user after using kingroot and grant root permissions to something like root checker or does the app just fail while trying to obtain root?

kingroot wasn't able to root it in either attempt I made, 4.4.4 or 5.0 . I tried with both the android apk and the pc version. Its possible that it requires multiple attempts (its all in chinese so who knows what exploits it is trying)
I just got a replacement device and it came with 4.4.4 so I am hoping to find something to root. there doesn't seem to be anything that works yet.

Thanks for the update on your attempts, ACalcutt.
That's right, it is in Chinese. Who here can read it? I, for one, am curious to learn which exploits it is attempting.
Any updates on this? I have an opportunity to get a Note 3 with NJ6 on it for free from a friend... will Kingroot work? I've kept my finger on the pulse of the Note 4 forums, and I'd do kingroot and then supersume, if it would work.
Thanks!
