TheCubed LG G2 Root Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2448887
In the CMD I get an error while rooting my LG G2 (AT&T).
~See Attatchment for CMD error screenshot~
Can anyone help me fix/troubleshoot this error?
probably usb debugging needs to be on.

Make sure you have USB debugging on.
If it's the VZW variant, when you connect it to the PC, make sure you connect it via Ethernet.
Again for VZW variant, when you plug it in, your computer will prompt you for an action with the phone. I found that connecting with LG's software was the trick in allowing you the computer to communicate with the phone (at least for me).
I think this happened because you ignored/didn't see the step about unplugging the device and plugging it back in when the program tells you to. Just re-do the root and read the steps in the program carefully. You have done everything else correct, De-bugging is on and you have chosen the right connection mode, otherwise the program would not have been able to even start rooting your device, as it wouldn't see it. So it must just be the unplug part you missed, just try again :good:
Will retry and get back to you guys. Thanks for the tips!

After trying a few tries and getting the same results, I've made no progress. Same error each time.

Stupid question but have you checked your root status?
I'm actually getting the same error. Im on T-Mobile variant. I did not unplug the first time so I redid 8more xs following the procedure the right way with no avail. I did a soft reset and a hard reset attempted again and still nothing...it does install superuser though
Exactly! Superuser is installed but i don't have root access.

Does anyone know of any other methods to root the LG G2?
I keep getting the same error as well
It would install superuser but would not root the phone
I uninstalled superuser and redid the process multiple times, but getting the same thing
I finally downloaded vroot and used that to root my G2
it worked like a charm. the program does everything for you. just plug the phone and run vroot
first post so I can't post links haha
Vroot worked flawlessly despite being in chinese. i had no trouble getting it to work. I was rooted in less than 3 minutes

I've tried eveything, the Nexus toolbox, ADB, and even Chainfire's auto root. I've managed to unlock my bootloader, but whenever it comes to rooting (depending on which way I try to root) the command prompt will stay at "Downloading boot.img" or "Sending Recovery (7806 kb)" until i either reboot my Nexus or close cmd. How can i root this damn device? I'm going insane! Thank you!
AW: My nexus won't root!
Did you tried Wugs nexus root toolkit? Of not try it, you can't do something wrong it's sooo easy!

Thank you. But it still sticks on "Booting modified boot.img to enable running privileged commands..."
I've just noticed that My Computer/Windows Explorer isn't showing my Nexus when its connected as MTP. Could that be the problem? And if so, do you know how to fix it? thanks.

Try doing the whole process again from step one using the toolkit and install that will guide you step by step in installing the proper drivers and such. I usually do everything manually but I went into lazy mode and did everything just fine and with little time as well. :good:

Try a new USB cord and port. Make sure USB debugging is on

Go to androidrootz.com and try his method. Worked for me on a Mac and I am not very computer savy. He also has windows version for rooting.

It's a long process but i ended up having to use a Linux virtual machine (luckily i had one for work anyway).
No matter what toolkit or manual step to install drivers, i couldn't get Win7 to detect the phone, however, attaching it in VmWare to an Ubuntu guest system worked straight away. I got the adb/fastboot files by following instructions in a thread here on XDA and was rooted in minutes
May be worth a shot
Toolkits are a waste of space. Do it manually, it's only like four steps and you will see exactly what is happening and where (if anywhere) you're going wrong.
Had root on Mj7. Rumning Beans 4.
Odined back to MJ7-went perfectly.
Factory restored the phone.
Took the new UPDATE.
Now on MJE
Installed and opened Kingo.
Gave USB permission.
Kingo runs, and FAILS. Says NOSUPPORT.
I've tried 5 times....FAILS!!
I'm beside myself!!!
I can't lose the ability to root, I just cant. I cannot stand an unrooted phone.
PLEASE HELP!!! :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

make sure you don't have an antivirus running, make sure you phone is on debug mode, try a different usb port, set you display timeout to 10 minutes and last but not least select always accept when it prompts you on your phone for access
Try a different USB port or if not a cable. It happened to me too and my computer wouldn't recognized my phone even when I have all the drivers installed. Nothing to worry about.

You sure you reenabled Developer Options and USB debugging? After the update you will need to do that. Also is Kingo recognizing your device is connected?

What if it turns out that your anti-virus program is reporting correctly that Kingo is a virus?
I scanned the kingo app, then turned off virus scanner n the installed kingo!

Ok so i just bought a new lg g2 d801.
I unlocked it succesfully, then went on to root it succesfully using ioroot.
Then I tried installing twrp using freegee and it didnt work giving me comparable results to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50501346&postcount=867
so I went on to install it manually from terminal emulator (I installed the rogers version as suggested by another user here as this is exactly my situation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50502408&postcount=869
I followed this method for the code in terminal emulator:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
replacing "recoveryfilename" to the name of the rogers .img.
Now the phone just boots normally into the stock interface but it is all glitchy, no wifi, computer doesnt recognize it and then within about 1 minutes it boots into the lg logo with the "turning on" sound randomly and keeps doing that.
adb devices gives nothing. I cant browse the contents of it but it does seem to be interacting with the computer since it is saying "driver updating... etc."
Ahhhh not too sure what to do from here.
If anyone can guide me I will be infinitely grateful, so discouraged right now.
I just want to bring it back to stock, nothing valuable at all on it, I have had it for 4 hours.
U can do a factory reset and see how it goes. Go to settings > general> backup and reset> factory reset.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I cant access any settings.
Just says: Error
In a little black box. I can browse the menus but cant actually enter into the specific settings areas.
I did factory reset from twrp which is accesible, didnt help.
Thank you though, I would love more ideas!
In that case u should flash stock rom using a computer. Go through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Ok im going to try using the lg mobile support tool
I went in usb mode holding the up key and inserting the usb cable.
Seems to be working, downloading a ~2gb file.
I will update.
All the best

of course my wifi cuts when the download is at 1443 of 1772 mb.
I think the gods have something against me today.
Should I cancel the download and start over? Doesn't seem to be picking up where it stopped.
Do you have any other option to resume ur download?
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
OK thank god it went through.
Installed the stock recovery succesfully.
Restored factory settings.
Still doing strange boot shutdowns randomly and wifi is not working. I cant access any settings.
It seems like there is rom compatibility issues or something.
What should my next step be?
Btw thank you so much for being here I really appreciate your help.
Did u flash the stock rom or just recovery?

Just recovery I think... I just let the lg mobile support tool do its thing
It was in the usb download mode.
Now I am planning on attempting what you linked. Only problem is that the flash tool links are not up to date and I cant fidn where to download it.
U should flash the whole stock rom, not just recovery, u will find all the necessary tools in the thread I mentioned

I am actually going slowly insane right now.
I have been sitting in front of my computer for over 8 hours trying to get this back to functional condition.
I followed the procedure exactly as detailed, when I press "upgrade start" I get this:
Please install CSMG B2C Client Tool" "Select tool ->B2C Client setup
Absolutely discouraging. I wish I could just talk with someone right about now. I am making no progress.
Phone keeps turning on all the way through til the homepage then off again. I actually cant keep it off. It turns on by itself.
adb devices is now recognizing it but it says "offline"
Ideas? Recommendations?
I really appreciate everything so far
Did u run that update tool before running the flash tool?

Thanks cccho. looking into this now looks like it could very well work.
I actually didnt even sleep last night. Havent done that in a long time, I figured I would manage to figure out by morning but I was not even close!
Much love to all who helped.
Hopefully this works.:good:
Actually I have a question... In your link they are using .tot files. I have only ever seen .kdz files for this purpose... Am I safe to follow the procedure with a stock .kdz file?
Thanks
Ok so I have managed to succesfully reinstall the original exact videotron firmware that the phone was running just one day ago.
There is something else going on. Its still rebooting every 10 seconds, whenever there is a text input prompt the cursor goes when I press within the box but the keyboard never appears. Wifi is non functional. Imei is saying "null" now whichI find extremely worrying...
Anybody heard of this before? I would really love to understand what is happening to this seemingly incredibly fragile phone.
Im about ready to toss it in the trash.
It seems like it has a virus or something.
Every now and then during the short glimpses of functioning it undergoes, there is a small grey box that appears near the bottom that says error.
It is not recognising my sim card either.
Please somebody help me out, I am willing to pay for help at this point.
Much love,
Zach
Also, I can never close/lock the screen. If I close it, its a guaranteed reboot. Every signle time. so for the phone to work screen has to stay on. 24 hours ago it was showing absolutely no signs of any of this
So, I installed Kingo 1.2.2.1915, installed Samsung drivers, and Kingo would not root the device, it kept saying USB debugging was off, and I verified several times it was on. So I went the Vroot method and it rooted in 3 seconds (seriously). I was surprised it went so fast. I was able to install Safestrap successfully, but after I rebooted (and can see Safestrap recovery on reboot), the phone no longer has root. I tried rooting again using either Kingo or Vroot, now neither app will detect my device. They both behave like USB debugging is off, but it's clearly on. Otherwise, the device works fine. Any thoughts?

So, since the new root method is out, and motopocalypse works again, I thought it'd be good to unlock it while possible. So I got the drivers reinstalled, rooted, installed supersu, checked for root (verified), turned on USB debugging, and started the program. I hit enter and it says
*waiting for device
*starting daemon on port 5***
*daemon started successfully
It says nothing after that. Even after minutes. The driver are installed correctly, root works fine, I have my original cable but I just don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

ADB will send a prompt to your phone, you'll need to except it. Just use the apk instead, it's easier.
