[Q] Why can't I root my L5? - Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I seem to have a few problems rooting my Lg optimus L5. I am on android version 4.1.2
I have tried the Framaroot method, as suggested in this tread. The app opens and I select the Gandalf exploit, as suggested by the maker of this app, but after I select my exploit, the app just closes.
I have also tried the method on this tread but after I open root.bat, it runs a few lines, says there are errors with a few ones and closes itself. I have tried this method 2 or 3 times
I think I tried another method, but I can't seem to find it, I'll post here if I eventually do find it.
Edit: I found the other method(all I had to do was look at my desktop, there was still a folder with the name of the method there... silly me!)
The other method is Super One Click, and that didn't work either...
Also, can someone explain to me what does V20D mean? Is it a rom, a kernel version?
P.S.: Please forgive me for beeing such a noob, but I really did search through the forums (maybe not well enough...) and didnt find any method that works

Sadly, there is only 1 method available to get lg l5 4.1.2 rooted.
Install a pre-rooted firmware (and, that's what v20a or b or d is) using kdz.

Thank you for the answer, could you link me to a guide? Also, will this"wipe" all my apps and their data?

4.1.2 pre-rooted. Flash any one using kdz updater.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275969
1. Install supersu.
2. Install ROM manager, select e610 as your device and flash cwm (or twrp) recovery.
Here's a guide to do the same. (use the rom from the first link, since the link to the rom is broken in the second link)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230679
IMPORTANT : If your phone is e612, download the recovery.img (for clockworkmod) of e610 only. Otherwise, you will get bootloops.
Yes, it will delete all your applications and data. It will delete all the contents of your internal sd card.

God dammit, my phone wont enter emergency mode!
Thanks, my phone is now rooted! Funny fact: My data was not wiped, I still have all my apps, and I have checked with root checker if I have root , and I have, so thank you :good:

Wut?
Using kdz update tool, wipes all data...
How did yours not get wiped?
I guess, flashing a v20 on another v20 doesn't wipe the phone

Easiest method to root L7 v10k?

Hi,i'm really a noob and i'm here to request help.
I've read almost all the development thread,but I never tried to do something on my own phone. Now I want to simply root it,I have the stock rom with v10k firmware.
Should I use the prerooted v10k or the root+cwm+unlocked bootloader mod? I saw someone talking about installing cwm from the Rom Manager app (in order to install cm10)
I'm waiting for a more stable cm10,now i just want root. What should I do? Flash prerooted v10k,unlock bootloader and then install cwm from the app or just flash the all-in-one mod?
Thanks to anyone that can provide me with a idiotproof guide to this (by the way I use the phone mostly with wifi and 3g)
- Link to installation procedure of a prerooted V10K ROM.
- Link to installation procedure for Bootloader unlock and installation of CWM Recovery.
Try these procedures! It helped me a lot
Ok,I'll try to flash them separately.
Flashing the v10k prerooted rom will do it? No wifi fix like for the deodexed one?
Yes, it will! I did it and it did not asked me to fix anything. It works very well.
I have two questions:
1) If I install the official drivers with the LG Support Tool and then I connect the phone,Windows Update tries to search drivers. What I have to do? The first time i tried to flash,KDZ stopped responding right after i clicked "Lauch Software Update" and a (if i remember the name correctly) mod.cab file appeared on desktop.
2) I have to connect the phone with Media Sync (MTP) or with PC Software? I read two guides on How To Flash Stock Firmware on L7 and one says Software PC,one says USB Storage.
Thanks
It's completly normal to the KDZ stop responding. It force close when it ends.
And you have to connect with PC Software!
Yes,it worked
I was kinda worried to do this,thank you

About flashing TWRP on the LG G2
This is a reply to the last post in the LG/TWRP post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670&page=116
And specifically, I was about to ask the same question as "ctowne", about the lack of loki_flash in the loki package pointed in the instruction page.
I'm really stuck here, because I already "soft bricked" my phone (rooted LG G2 D802 international) in two different states that required a complete flash and wipe with the originale LG ROM and tool. And one of these was caused by the AutoRec tool, which apparently doesn't work for lot of people and could lead to bootloops.
So, before trying anything I'd like to be sure I'm doing the right thing, and more importantly, that I have the complete instructions to do it.
To sum it up:
-according to the thread, I need the loki package and the TWRP package, but there is no loki_flash inside the actual loki package
-but there's one inside the last TWRP package! Should I use this one?
-also, is not clear where I need to move all the files to make everything works
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you downloaded the correct version of autorec? I have a VS980 and autorec worked perfectly....even after updating to the latest version (26A), after which I flash TWRP 2.8.0.1 via recovery (which autorec installs 2.7.0.0).

Apparently something went wrong with my first install. I tried again and the AutoRec flash went OK!
BTW, how do you update TWRP? Just flashing the zip via recovery and nothing else?

Yes. Have whatever version of TWRP on your phone and flash it. Make sure to reboot recovery and it will show the current version flashed.

[GUIDE][CM12] Downgrade, Root and BUMP

Method 1
Download KDZ: HERE
LG Driver: HERE
LG Flash Tool: HERE
1. Download Mode
You must switch off the device to start the process.
Then press and hold the “Volume Up” and connect the USB cable from phone to PC.
Use the original USB cable. Because, other device’s cable may not be detected in the Computer. So, only we recommend it to use the original one that you got it when you bought the phone.
Wait for the driver installation on PC.
Then you will get the download mode screen in your phone.
That’s it.
You can return to the normal mode by press and hold power button.
Don’t unplug the cable while the update process is running. Because, it will damage your phone.
2. Downgrade using KDZ Method: HERE
3. Root (PurpleDrake): HERE
4. BUMP:
Download TWRP 2.8.4.0: HERE
Flash it with Flashify : Tutorial
5. You are ready for CM12!
CM12: HERE
GApps: HERE
[Optional] SuperSU: HERE
Method 2 (thanks to ziggyboy)
If you want to do this really quickly, copy the following APK's before you flash the KK ROM to your SD card:
Stump
SuperSU
Flashify
TWRP
Latest CM12
GApps for LP
This saves you from having to download or copy the APK within the process.
Here's a detailed guide:
Copy the APK's listed above to your SD card.
Flash 10A-10D using the guide linked by the OP.
When setting up KK, just skip everything. No need to connect to wifi, 3G, or your PC.
Install the Stump APK from your SD card. Run it to root your device. You'll likely reboot.
Install the SuperSU APK from your SD card.
Install the Flashify APK from your SD card. Run it to flash TWRP. Make sure you select the 'recovery image 'option.
The installation process should reboot you to TWRP.
In TWRP: Wipe then flash CM12 and GApps.
Reboot and set up CM12!!
Does SuperSU not included in the CM12 official ROM ? I remember that it's embedded inside the ROM.
I flashed SuperSU because probably Superuser app isn't present as I think it got merged with Privacy Guard together but I can assure you an applet when an app requests SU permission is present but first you have to activate it in developers option. I think you can skip flashing it.

Howcome I often see the 16 GB version of EUR and not the 32 GB?
I've got a 32GB version of EUR. Maybe because in europe 32gb version is lot more expensive of 16gb.

Yea, you're right. I put the links of all the guides i'd followed so I'm 100% sure that's working. Thank you for the update.
I've got a slightly easier method (IMO) of doing this. Here's a summary. Detailed steps later on.
Flash an earlier ROM, preferably 10A-10D. Don't forget to wipe.
Use Stump to root (it's so much quicker and you can do it from your phone). See http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
Install Flashify and use it to flash TWRP.
Reboot to TWRP, wipe and flash CM12 + GApps.
If you want to do this really quickly, copy the following APK's before you flash the KK ROM to your SD card:
Stump
SuperSU
Flashify
TWRP
Latest CM12
GApps for LP
This saves you from having to download or copy the APK within the process.

Install the Flashify APK from your SD card. Run it to flash TWRP. Make sure you select the 'recovery image 'option.
The installation process should reboot you to TWRP.
In TWRP: Wipe then flash CM12 and GApps.
Reboot and set up CM12!!
I live in Spain, I guess this is the correct firmware for me, right?: 42 6UA/EUROPE COMMON_16G V10A
Hi GFXi0N, it's not important where the kdz was released. Flash any KK KDZ (in your case all 16GB version KDZ) then root and bump it.
Thanks Ziggyboy for the guide. Yea is slightly easier, I will update the thread and add yours
Awesome guide, thanks to both of ya (OP and the super-quick guide) =)

Full Wipe/Clean Flash/Clean Install [same].
When you change from one ROM type to another [from KK to Lollipop or even from the same variant but from different Developers/types of ROMS] always do the above term mentioned.
In TWRP go to wipe>advanced wipe. Then mark Cache, Dalvik Cache, Data and System.
Wipe.
Flash the ROM [don't reboot].
Flash Gapps.
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache after Gapps [recommended].
Reboot and enjoy!
This is what I do and never have a problem.
is it possible to flash a normal 5.0 rom ? i don't like the CM12
What do you mean by "normal" 5.0 ROM?
If you mean something like the Nexus 6 ROM the answer is no. CM12 is probably the closest you'll get to pure Android Lollipop.

I been googling whole day and I cant find even one guide for Linux. I would love to downgrade my lg g3 d855 to kitkat and then upgrade to lollipop 5.1.1 but I DON'T want to install freaking windows to do it.

finally custom rom for lg g3 d858hk

hey guys i found custom ROM for d858hk version which is here
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7892224-1-1.html
can be translated through Google but we need someone to explain to us in details.
I might able to help, I can read Chinese
let me know if you want any explanations.
it's based on lollipop 20d
- v1.0 LED not working, and this v2.0 fixed the problem
- rooted, superSU v2.46
- once you flashed the ROM, no need to flash the ROOT again
- busybox is in the system and no app not there
- works on D857 858 and 858HK
- it's a LIGHT version, there are functions that are deleted, like weather widget for example
- including deleted app inside the ROM, and could recover yourself
- app can write data to external SD card
- split view works for 3rd party app
- smart cover function removed, user can download the "deleted app" and put back into the system to get it working

FOR D858HK

4. Flash ROM using this newest TWRP

Do "double wipe" after flashing the ROM, otherwise might have FC messages
Thanks alot i think this will help ...will try it now
but can we install twrp when in lollipop as i am now on lollipop
any ideas?
maybe these
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7677473-1-1.html
one click Recovery installation
need to be rooted
1. extract files to computer
2 connect phone
3 turn on usb debugging
4. run Recovery.bat
---------------------------------------
old temp way, didn't say if it works on L or only KK
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7727191-1-1.html
So...can any of you fluent Chinese speakers/readers help with the actual downloading of the ROM? It seems the rom is available at http://pan.baidu.com/s/1mg86X6o, but I get a little overloaded and can't figure out how to download from there. It seems to want me to log in, but I can't figure out if there's a non-login download ability lurking somewhere?
Do you have some screenshoots ?
Two things. First, I had the wrong link before. Correct one is: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1sjoKe4l. Second, I realized the reason is that the zip file is over 1GB and they force you to a "download butler". So the login thing is related to copying that file into your (QQ, for example) account and then you could download the file from there.
If anyone with a D858HK is interested, I was able to install this custom rom on my phone without any problems. I followed steps elsewhere to root (the one click version) and install TWRP. The rom is basically a slim version of the standard lollipop rom. If you end up deciding to install this, be aware that the Google Contact Sync app is not included within the rom and you'll need to also download the "deleted apps" zip file mentioned in the same post (link in OP). In the "deleted apps" zip, you'll want to grab the Gooogle Contact Sync apk and install that ... otherwise you can't get your contacts copied to the new rom. There were a bunch of other apks, but this one the only one so far that seemed like it shouldn't have been removed from the rom.
FYI, here are the version details of the rom:
Android version: 5.0.1
Baseband version: MPSS.DI.3.0.c6.2-00011-M8974AAAAANAZM-1
Kernel version: 3.4.0
Build number: (some chinese)1121561(more chinese)
Software version: D858HK20d-HKG-XX
So in total its not worth installing it? But anyway, thanks for your report!

I guess that depends on how easy it is to remove LG's bloatware and whether or not you need all/any of it. I personally didn't care for it anyway. But yeah, other than that, nothing special about the rom.
There were a bunch of other apks, but this one the only one so far that seemed like it shouldn't have been removed from the rom.
i believe there's a thread somewhere in this forum (http://bbs.gfan.com/forum-1508-type-10913.html) regarding d858 MIUI, could someone confirm? Thanks

My LG-D858HK phone hard bricked:
What happened/how I hard bricked the phone. I'd already rooted the phone with Marshmallow and then tried to flash phone TWRP by (mistakenly) using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=b007.autorecd858hk when it hard bricked the phone. Now, the phone screen is black/blank and blue/red LED light flashing.
In addition, my PC doesn't recognise phone when plugged into USB port/s. Pop-up on PC screen says; “The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and windows do not recognize it.” And in Device Manager, I see a ‘yellow triangle’ next to LGE Platform Android Composite USB Device Driver.
I tried different methods to go into download mode and I’m not sure if any worked. Because, obviously, I can’t see anything on the phone screen to carry out procedures to fix phone in download mode. Moreover, I’m not even sure if the phone goes into download mode apart from a sound made from PC and the pop-up straight after.
PC always recognised phone when plugged into USB port/s before it was hard bricked.

D800 - I just can't get CloudyG2 working no matter what I do...

I've been having issues with my phone, and I'm not sure if this is a HW issue or not, but no matter what I do, either I lose recovery or get a security error. I poked around and found some instructions in the CloudyG3 thread. They're for 3.0 but I would guess 3.3 wouldn't be different enough to brick this thing. Can't remember who the quote is from, I just copy/pasted it, but here it is:
Some of you sent me a PM asking for the install instructions on D800 and this is how you install CloudyG2 3.0:
Downloads:
1. Download CloudyG2 3.0 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722646001
2. Download Patch - https://mega.co.nz/#!sVY0mRTb!qn7S9B...3m_QpMQkgzunn0

Flashing Process:
1. Backup the existing ROM (including EFS, Modem, etc.) in TWRP - very important and copy it over to the computer, just in case!
2. Wipe System + Data + Cache + Dalvik Cache - Do NOT select internal storage as it contains all your downloaded files + backups!
3. Flash KK Bootstack (downloaded from Step 5)
4. Flash LP Baseband (downloaded from Step 4)
5. Flash CloudyG2 3.0 (downloaded from Step 1) - Leave the default in Aroma when you have to pick the variant. Do NOT reboot the device as the patch installation (next Step) is very important.
6. Flash Patch (dowloaded from Step 2) - Select your variant.
7. Flash Signal Patch (downloaded from Step 3)
8. Reboot
Enjoy!

I'm guessing I have the incorrect files, most of the links I found in the thread with these instructions didn't seem to work so I Googled for them, maybe I don't even have the correct files. I took a screenshot in cmd of the exact filesizes.
Any help would be greatly appriciated!

I've been having issues with my phone, and I'm not sure if this is a HW issue or not, but no matter what I do, either I lose recovery or get a security error. I poked around and found some instructions in the CloudyG3 thread. They're for 3.0 but I would guess 3.3 wouldn't be different enough to brick this thing. Can't remember who the quote is from, I just copy/pasted it, but here it is:

Coming off a fresh TOT flash, I root with towelroot, flash TWRP using AutoRec, flash bootloader, then flashed Cloudy. It will boot at first, but then I run into "black screen of death" or security errors or when trying to boot to recovery, I'll run into similar issues. Does Blastagator's TWRP make the difference here?

I had the exact problem happen to me ....... I got the black screen of death .... phone wouldnt boot ....... and when i used the kk bootloader i would lose recovery ..... I was coming from kk to CloudyG2 ....
This is how i solved.
1. Flashed back to stock, stumproot to root Autorec v1 for bootloader
2. used Flashify to upgrade to 2.8.7.1 ( its now 2.8.7.3)
3. Downloaded n used bumpted LP bootstack and flashed blastagator stripped rom (its in flashable zip and installs everythin including modem .... patches etc EVERYTHING) http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g2/development/rom-stock-lollipop-30b-stripped-t3144195
4. Downloaded kk bootstack , CloudyG2 3.3 and clean flashed in recovery
I have been enjoying Cloudy ever since ...... D800
Thanks all, got it running! Cloudyfa has done some absolutely brilliant work here with this ROM, as well as xdabbeb with the advanced camera driver and xCam. I'm usually a vanilla-or-nothing guy with my Android ROMs but this one is quick and power efficient. The KitKat ROM that shipped with the phone was super bloated and gross, but I'll admit LG UX 4.0 isn't really that offensive, plus I like the goodies like Multi-Window and QuickRemote. Once I disabled/hid some of the remaining LG bloat, it's surprisingly pleasant and not really that far from AOSP aesthetically. Again, cheers to those who provided the assist on this one for me!
... now my only question is, should I try CloudyG3?
