FYI this is solved.
1. Install drivers can be found here: http://d-h.st/fBw or when you first plug your phone into PC, within the virtual drive: \tools\LG VZW_United_WHQL_v2.11.1.msi file
2. Next make sure to switch to Internet connection --- ethernet within PC Connection settings
3. command prompt and type adb devices, you should see your Serial Number and online.
4 Now that we know ADB is working the process is the same, download this: http://www.mgyun.com/vroot
5. Yes it is in chinese, install it, then run it while your phone is plugged into your USB port on your PC.
6, The program will do some checks once its finished it will pop a screen that has the model number of the phone LG-D800 and a check mark. Notice the button on the bottom right, it says ROOT with some chinese lettering.
7. Click it and wait, the phone will reboot after a couple minutes. Once it reboots you will be rooted. Also it will install a Chinese language Root Manager. This is temporary.
8. Now we will replace the Chinese binary with an English one. Download superuser by clockworkmod from the play store. Open it and grant root permission (right button when the window pops up in Chinese). Superuser will ask to update the binary, hit install. Now exit by swiping superuser out of recents.
9. Now open titanium backup, install from play store if you don't have it. Find the Chinese root manager app and either uninstall it or freeze it.
10. Next open superuser again and once again install the superuser binary when asked. Reboot. You should now be rooted in English.
11. Optionally you can install Busybox with Busybox installer like I did.
Initially this did not work for me....i had to take the below steps to get it to work.
After rooting with app and installing CWM superuser
-open CWM SU
-allow root
-update binaries
-go to settings -> app manager -> select cwm su and force close it (do not just swipe it away in recents)
-open titanium bu and freeze the chinese version
-open cwm su again and update binaries again
-reboot
-open titanium and uninstall the chinese version
Original Question:
Does anyone have adb properly detecting their VZW G2 on Windows 8? Windows 8 is using a driver that is built into Win8, and I haven't found a way to get ADB working because of it. It shows up and works fine as an MTP device, and in device manager (as seen below). If anyone gets this working please let me know what you did.

I can't even get it to see my device on windows 7...not sure you're going to get far at the moment.
Yea i've tried the drivers from LG's site and the drivers that come on the phone itself. Definitely no luck so far.

Same here. With Dev. Options and ADB enabled, nothing shows on Windows 7 (I'm assuming all versions of Windows). It would seem to me that there is a software issue and VZW needs to give us an update ASAP. This is total bull. I'm a developer and I want to use my phone to develop, that is one of the key points of Android.

Software update would probably break current root method though sadly.

ADB > root! ADB is usually essential to achieve root anyway.
It turns out this seems to be an issue with the Verizon G2 not actually enabling USB Debugging mode when it's checked. Refer to the thread below.

This sucks, now we wait for a software update... without the ability to use ADB or any way to fix it. Oh well, worse things have happened.
I just got off the phone with LG. They specifically told me that there are no drivers that currently work on the VZW G2 and they should have the released 'in less than a week' and it should solve all ADB issues. Not sure I believe it...but I guess we'll see.

Can you right click the device in Device Manager, then click Properties.
I think the answer is in the Details tab, if you drop down the Property list and choose Hardware IDs.
I have a feeling the ID in there (for the VZW variant) is NOT in the driver installation file from LG (yet, anyway)

ok i'm having issues with getting adb to find my device and this is an old thread and the chinese root wasn't working right. anyway to get the phone to list in adb yet, not using the chinese method?
Edit: could drivers from my previous phone have anything to do with this?
Edit2: Still could use an answer just in case, but i just realized that i haven't had to use adb on a device since before 4.2.2 so i possibly need to update my abd from pdanet, so i'll give that a go later tonight. but any other help would be appreciated. thanks in advance

We figured out how to enable ADB a while ago. You need to plug in your phone to PC, select Internet then Ethernet (or something similar) instead of Media Sync or Charge Only. Also ADB must be enabled in Settings. Then, it should show in PC devices, you can install the Google ADB driver, and use ADB. First time using it, your phone should pop up with an RSA key window to allow ADB.
1. Install drivers can be found here: http://d-h.st/fBw

Having the same problem
I have the Verizon phone and tried using the 3.1.1 driver on Windows 7 (latest driver linked on the rooting post). When I went to the LG website and downloaded the 2.11.1 driver there, everything worked perfectly and I can see the phone on the PC using ADB devices command.

After several hours i have finally been able to root my brand new kindle fire hd which came preloaded with 7.2.2. While setting up it updated to 7.2.3 on its own. Anyways here are the steps i took:
Prereq:
1. Download the ADB Drivers and QemuRoot method files. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893838
2. Download Binary v17 Method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
3. Download and install the latest java. http://www.java.com/en/ This is a very important step in which allowed me to succesfully root my device.
Steps:
I recommend uninstalling all drivers in order to start fresh and do a factory reset on your kindle.
1. Install ADB drivers. Extract Qemu Root and Binaryv17 files.
2. Open cmd run as admin and execute runme.bat from binaryv17.
3. Select Method 1 and your kindle should have a screen pop up requesting a restore.
4. Simply tap on Restore on your kindle and it should reboot after that. Kindle will be slow and sluggish. Thats ok.
5. After Binaryv17 is done run qemuroot.bat from Qemuroot method.
6. Choose option 1 to root.
7. Executable should go through different steps in order to root your kindle.
I saw people posting about not being able to root 7.2.2/7.2.3 devices which have not been rooted before. I can confirm it does work if you follow the above steps. The trick that it for me was the installation of JAVA. I kept getting multiple errors when i did not have it installed on my computer. Hope it works for you all.
Thank you very much vida69!
I used Windows 7 Ultimate 64 sp1
installed the lastest Java
Kindle Fire ADB drivers.exe --- 8,96 MB (9.402.392 bytes)
Kindle factory reset ***
Binary v17 Method
QemuRoot method
I bought my Kindle Fire 7 HD 32g last week, my Kindle was version 7.2.2 from factory, and updated to 7.2.3 (have not been rooted before)
I did a factory reset, *** and then without registered my Kindle with my Amazon account, and the device Language >English (USA), I followed the vida69's instructions step by step.
and my Kindle is rooted

Thank you for this information --although my case is a bit different. I rooted my Kindle Fire HD 7" when I first got it and it had &.7.1.?/3. Put Google play on it, Titanium BU, Screenshot Es, and Root Explorer. Disabled the OTA updates (I did not get affected by either 7.2 or 7.2.3!). However I was interested in trying the 7.2.3. So I downloaded it and did the upgrade.
The update was smooth and provided me with the latest including Swype Keyboard (especially for the Swype Keyboard).
Much to my surprise, however, every single app that I had sideloaded or purchased and loaded from Play after I first rooted was still there! And all of them were functional. Except that all of the "Root-requiring" apps won't work now (Tintanium, Screenshot ES and Root Explorer in the RW mode).
The rest are there, and I can still access the Play store . . . So I will try the root process using your tips, but have no hurry since I have my apps and market too --not bad. Only thing is I will have to get root eventually so as to turn off the future OTA updates!
Really surprised since on my original Kindle Fire, whenever I updated it basically wiped the machine clean. This update was like flashing a rom and not clearing the cache or the dalvik or (especially) not doing a factory reset! I am surprised it worked!
Kindle Fire HD 7" 7.2.3
So i didn't even know my KF updated from 7.2.2 to 7.2.3. I previously rooted 7.2.1. so I already had a pretty good idea of what needed to happen. One thing that I will note is that when I plugged my kfhd in I opened a cmd prompt and typed in "adb devices" when my serial number showed up I knew that I could proceed with the scripts.
Hope it helps.

Glad to hear you we able to re-root. We've got some discussions going as to how to can disable future updates.

hi everybody!
i'm on windows 7 professional 64 bit and i have a kindle fire hd 7.2.3. i'm trying to root my device but i've got always the same problems: when i plugin my kindle and run "Runme.bat" it can't find the device. in fact when i run the command "stuff\adb devices" the list is empty. I've followed all the steps in the guide! i'm lost
ps sorry for my english
After running "runme.bat" its still stopping at *daemon started successfully*.......
Still does not show anything when I run "adb devices". But does show up under Device Manager.

Works for me too. No need for qemu. I have not rooted this before and it auto updated to 7.2.3.
First I got permission errors, but after I restored to factory settings I was able to root it. I used a separate computer to do it though so I'm not really sure if it really is the reset to factory settings that did it.
Also, I had to download Android SDK to get the new adb because adb packaged with the root tools can't detect the device.
Success (!)
Hello all, I am a noob to THIS forum. I have successfully rooted according to the above mentioned guideline, but not without one issue.
For all those doing this for the first time, just remember at the "Restore" screen mentioned on step 4 of vida69's post, it would be best that you use a simple password for the restore point, as just pressing "Restore My Device" does not allow the exploit to continue. :good:
Found this out the hard way.
Happy rooting!:good:

The adb.exe from Binary v18 does not see my kindle fire ( i installed driver from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893838)
I decided to uninstall the the Amazon adb driver, and installed google usb driver from android sdk.
The adb.exe from Binary v18 still does not see my kindle fire, but the adb from android sdk see it.
At last i have changed something in RunMe.bat from Binary v18, put them all in one folder.
Run the RunMe.bat first then the rootQemu.bat.
here is the file:

Sorry for my bad english
Success Rooted again one more time !!!
Follow the steps above, as superuser CMD prompt. Install Java and run Runme.bat then menu.
after that I side loaded Fileexpert to give root permission to move Vending apk and google services.
Due to Geographical Restrication I was unable to use Amazon Appstore. That why I have to use this method.
Now I am rooted with version 7.2.3 user.....and Google market 3.8.17 installed.
For user Outside US use these steps.... even you had new kindle fire HD with preinstalled version 7.2.3.

Hey guys in this tutorial i will show you how to root the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit from Metro PCS, model SGH-T599N.
The phone comes Stock with Android Jelly Bean 4.1 Jelly Bean. This will also work on 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.
So lets get started.
There is a tutorial video at the bottom of the page
WARNING:
THIS WILL MOST LIKELY VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, THERE IS A CHANCE YOU COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE.
What you will need:
1) A Samsung Galaxy Exhibit SGH-T599N
(To check your model number, go to Settings / About Device / Model Number)
2) A PC running Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8 or 8.1)
3) A Usb Cable
4) Rooting program called VROOT
Step 1:
You need to download the VROOT rooting program.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/f85okpyc1u33zgt/Galaxy_Exhibit_Root.zip
Once the link is downloaded, extract the zip. You will get a .exe file called VRoot_1.7.3.4863_english_cid1005_7337ba1e_89.exe
Run the VRoot_1.7.3.4863_english_cid1005_7337ba1e_89.exe You will be greeted with the VROOT Setup Screen.
Click the Next button. You will be taken to the screen where you can chose where the installer, installs the program. You can chose a directory or use the default. Use the default.
Click the Next button. The next screen will ask you if you want the program to be put in your Start Menu, this is up to you.
Click the Next Button. The next the screen will ask if you want to place a Shortcut on your desktop, again this is up to you.
Click the Next Button. The program will now install it self. It should only take a couple of seconds. once the installer is done you will see the Setup Complete screen. Make sure the Launch VROOT box has a check in it and click the Finish Button.
The VROOT program will open. You will see a screen saying Device is connecting. After a moment the program will install daemon.
Step: 2
For the program to recognize you phone, you will need to turn on Usb Debugging on, on your phone. To do this on your phone go to Settings / Developers Options
Scroll down to the Debugging Section. Look for USB debugging and click on it.
A warning will pop up saying Allow USB debugging, select OK
After you turn on Usb Debugging a second warning should pop up on your phone asking if you wanna allow Usb debugging between your computer and phone. Check the always allow and then OK. Checking Always makes it so you do not have see that warning everything. Your computer and phone will allow debugging connect every time you connect in that mode.
Step 3
Now back on your PC you should see VROOT trying to connect to your phone. Once it connects you should see your phones model number on the screen. T599N
VROOT will now check to see if your phone already has root permission. VROOT will tell you, you do not have root.
The green root button in the bottom right corner should now be available. Press the Root button.
You will see the Rooting now screen. This should only take a moment to complete.
When VROOT is done, you will see a screen saying Success, your T599N is rooted. Rebooting.
You can now click complete, you are done with the VROOT program.
Step 4
You Exhibit will now reboot back into the Android OS
Once you are back at your home screen, open the app drawer in the bottom right hand corner to show all your phone apps. Scroll all the way to the right. You should now have two new apps installed on your phone. Superuser and one that is in Chinese. The one in Chinese was installed when VROOT told you it was installing daemon. You will no longer need that app.
The Superuser app is the one we want. This app regulates which app you grant root permission to. Just open the app. Make sure it does no tell you, you do not have root permission.
Now my suggestion here is to get a different app to do the same thing. The one you should use is SuperSU by Chainfire from the Play Store. Go to the Play Store and in the search look for SuperSU. There are 2 verions, a free one and a paid one. The free on works just fine.
Install this version. You will now have a app that looks like a Superman symbol with a # inside of it. Open the app. Make sure SuperSU does not tell you, you do not have root.
Now anytime a app requests root, a warning will pop up from SuperSU asking if you want to allow that app root access.
You have the option to Deny or Grant that app root. You can also check the Ask again box. If you check this box and Grant a app root, after some time SuperSU will pop up again asking the same thing. If you chose to Grant a app root without checking the box, that app will have full root access anytime you use it.
If you Deny it then the app will not have root access and not work the way it was ment to.
And that's it guys. You now have root access on your Metro PCS Samsung Galaxy Exhibit SGH-T599N

still working, EXE auto-updated, then i followed simple instructions, and the device rebooted with root.
vroot does install its own Super User Permission Management app, and a System Cleaner app (which are both actually useful), and some other junk (i uninstalled this). all their apps seem to have links to their other apps/appstore, but as long as you ignore them the apps themselves seem to be harmless enough.
With some help on the cyanogenmod forums, I worked out a way to enable the integrated superuser manager to actually function!
REVISED EDITION:
WARNING! DO NOT ATTEMPT UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
This is an experimental step to bring a feature from regular Cyanogenmod to 11S. You have been warned.
This requires adb and fastboot to be installed.
Please read all the instructions before attempting
1)-- Optional-Flash a custom recovery of your choice. There are threads out there that explain this.
2)Next flash the debuggable kernel, found at the bottom of this post. You can easily flash it via fastboot.
fastboot flash boot ./path/to/boot-debuggable.img
2)Download su.zip I created.
3)Boot into custom recovery(a requirement). This can be done without actually flashing it. Look up how, plenty of threads already.
4)Flash su.zip
8) Reboot.
9)If you didn't before doing this, go to Settings => About Phone and enable developer mode. Under Settings => Developer Options select Root Access and change it to Apps and ADB. Now install any root application or root checker and test it out.
Debuggable Kernel is downloadable here at the bottom:

I'm going to try this one.
I suspect that the normal root is doing something bad for my battery life.

What current superuser manager are you using? SuperSU?
Download*Android Terminal Emulator
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
Launch the app and type the following commands:
su (will request for superuser permissions)
setprop persist.sys.root_access 3
This is the other way to install Superuser in the Settings.

How can I get rid of the menu when I use SuperSU instead?

That only makes the menu visible. The menu will not actually function as a Superuser manager. For that, you would need the debuggable kernel and the proper compatible su binary which is why I wrote my instructions.
Will this solve the problem I am currently having?
I have the new OnePlus One phone. It is unlocked and rooted.
In the Secure Settings plugin for Tasker, I cannot get the System+ Module to install, but get the following message:
Code:
Root access i currently disabled for all applications by a system setting.......
Would you like to enable it now?
Clicking OK sends me to the developer menu where there are no options to enable root access.
How can I get this thing to install?

Well you have two options, either enable the functional Superuser menu by following my instructions or enable the developer options menu and then from within the developer options menu disable it. That will enable the NON-functional Superuser menu.

I had this same exact issue with secure settings, and elected to follow the instructions on this page to activate the cyanogenmod root settings - it worked just fine. Interestingly, even after losing the "built in root" after updating to XPNH300, secure settings still seems happy.
I have followed the intro on 30O except using franco's kernel replace the debugable one. No notification show up when the app asked ROOT authority and also the authorization didn't success. Is this method only support by stock kernel?

It isn't supported by the stock kernel.
It is supported by the stock debuggable kernel.
It is also supported by any kernel that has ro.debuggable set to 1. To check if a kernel has that set, boot into it and run from a terminal app or adb "getprop ro.debuggable".
Currently, there is no stock debuggable kernel available for 30O yet however the link below has a workaround zip that will enable integrated superuser access, with the exception of adb root.

As of right now, the stock debuggable kernel for 30O is live and available.
Thanks for your work.
But could you please update to the latest version of the SuperSU binaries or could you tell me, what you modified comparing it to the normal SuperSU.zip?
Would you please share how and why would this be different than a straight forward install of SuperSU?
@vladashram
I have tested it days ago but forget to post feedback
Its successfully tested on both OnePlus One & YU Yureka.
Not working for me

Not many people own this device. Just thought I would share that the F880 series and possibly the ZX1 can still be rooted. I came across a Japanese YouTube video showing the root process for an F886 with 1.24.0000 firmware. It involves using the KingRoot software and installing SuperSU instead of the KingRoot app. I tried it myself on my F887 and can confirm it works! Since I couldn't read Japanese, I just followed along with the video and used the links in the description.
Link to video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_F4Ef7fBo0
You might want to enable usb debugging after enabling developer options (I'm not sure you really need to do this, but it couldn't hurt) http://www.greenbot.com/article/245...-options-on-your-android-phone-or-tablet.html
Steps I've deciphered from watching the video:
1) Download and install the KingRoot software for Windows from http://www.kingroot.net (the software is completely in Chinese language unfortunately)
2) Start up the KingRoot software (if it hasn't already started up already) and plug in your F880 series walkman. It should be detecting your device and downloading root exploits for it.
3) When it's done finding the root exploit for your device, click on the green Root button and it should start rooting your device. (the device should restart a couple of times)
4) Rooting should be finished when the program shows a big green check mark and KingRoot app launches on the device.
5) Close the KingRoot app since we'll be installing SuperSU instead.
6) Go to: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html?m=1 and download Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip at the bottom of the page.
7) Extract Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip and there should be a folder named "mrw". Move the "mrw" folder to the root directory of the device. You can disconnect the device from the computer after the "mrw" folder is done copying and close the KingRoot program on the computer.
8) Open up the Google Play store and download/install "Terminal Emulator for Android".
9) Start up Terminal Emulator and type the following:
su
(hit enter and press "allow" when the pop up appears)
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
(hit enter, the script should run and there should be a whole lot of failures, it should also crash)
10) Press OK, and SuperSU should start up. Press "Normal" and SuperSU should start to install. Press OK again the next 2 times when the pop up appears.
Congratulations! Your F880 should now be rooted! Now you can install awesome stuff like Viper4Android, Xposed, and a bunch of battery saving apps such as Greenify and Amplify.
Better late than never, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
It works :laugh::laugh:
Now my Walkman is Bloodware-free and the Battery lasts longer.
Oh wow thank you I own this device, and you are truely a life saver!
Need some help, got a broken note 4 here and I want to access my files that are still stored inside it. I tried the Vysor Application to see the display but the problem is I forgot the passcode of my phone because i haven't touched that phone for over a month now.
My phone is running custom Note 7 port rom (Ditto Note 7) and I have TWRP installed as a recovery option for my phone. I tried using the adb shell comand su to my phone to remove the gesture.key but it seems that I haven't accept permissions for the adb on my device.
How do I clear the passcode of my phone? or can I clear the settings and data (without internal storage) using TWRP?
Need replies ASAP please
There's probably a few dozen (at least) threads on recovering data on XDA
Did you try the forum search?
I did and amazingly this turned up very quickly
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339530
If that doesn't nail it, try a search yourself, it's free, and easy
Another option is to go to Find my phone/android device manager website, sign in, and unlock the phone, and then connect it to PC and copy as normal....
p.s. the denied on su is most likely because you do not have apps not apps AND adb option enabled in your superuser app under developer settings
