[Q] Reroot - Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI! I flashed Slimbean rom on my lg l7 p705. It was a success, then i installed apps for rooted phone but when i try to open them it says that application needs root acces. I also downloaded root checker to check if my phone was unroot, and yes it was unroot, it doesn't have root access. I tried to root it again using framaroot and vroot but no luck. HOW CAN I REROOT MY PHONE?

Sorry I cant give you a link,because I'm on my phone..
Go to google and search SuperSU. Go to his official thread on xda, download flashable zip for the latest version, reboot in recovery and flash
Now you have root access

[Q] Unroot Towelroot without Recovery

Hello all,
I have an LG G2 D80220c-222-88, with stock rom KitKat 4.4.2. Few months ago I rooted the device using towelroot, just to be able to install the xdabbeb's 3.1 camera. I did not installed any recovery.
I would like to know if there is a way to unroot my device, for warranty issue, and to be able to install further stock update. I already try to uninstall the towelroot apk but Root checker still find the device as rooted...
Thanks for any suggestion,
kindly,
Cisky
Does anybody know if 'Unrooter' tool, by bender_007, may works for my request? At least to upgrade to a new stock OTA release?
Search the threat return to stock for full unroot!

If you didnt installed Supersu after rooting with towelroot your phone is vulnerable..it grands root access to ANY app
Try installing Supersu(from Google Play), and then from SuperSU theres an option "full unroot"..and after full unroot use root checker to see if its still rooted
OR you can flash a stock firmware with lg flash tool, you will loose root and all things from your phone... You phone will be like new ( not sure if it will be like new new xD, i mean maybe in download mode it will still say"rooted" because it was rooted before...but even this thing can be faked if you need to return your phone for waranty...but how i said, im not sure that in download mode will say "rooted" after flashing the oficial firmware)

Thanks a lot for your answer, I unrooted the device using SuperSU (root checker confirm that i'm unroot), but still, i'm root on download mode, it means that I cannot update to any OTA stock update

Did you flash the firmware? You can flash the latest firmware instead of taking OTA
Or if you didnt flash the firmware, you are safe to update JUST if your ROM is clean...with clean i mean no mods installed like the camera mod that you installed...so its recommended to flash the firmware instead of taking ota
The latest firmware for d802 is v20h you can follow the instructions from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Install root, custom recovery, etc causes small modifications on system, partitions, etc, so LG software detect that and triggers the root flag.
Flash a jb kdz for your phone model, reboot, factory reset, update by ota to kk.
Pure untouched stock phone again!

Cannot root my device

Hi, so i got a little problem here.. the thing is i tried to root my lg g2 sprint ( LS980 ) with io root, but than i noticed i canot be rooted because of the android version i have 4.4.2 ( Build KOT48I.LS980ZVE ) so keep searching and found TowelRoot, and when i installed the app it says my device is rooted , but it really isnt... also looking thru the system files i foind a SU file in the Xbin folder... how can i fix this too root the phone ?
can't root lg g2 sprint zve
i am also facing exactly the same problem plz someone help me...
download root checker and double check if you really are not rooted. If not use the lg flash tool and flash a kdz of a firmware version which can be rooted via ioroot for example
Like Krenol said, use root checker to see if you're actually rooted or not, but if you aren't you may also be able to use Stump Root without reverting back to a different firmware. IOroot didn't work for me on the latest firmware when I got my Verizon G2 but stump root worked for me. I can't remember if I had to use the brute force option or not but its worth a shot.
Stump Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
Stump root says is rooted.. but the SU app tells me the opposite, il try the downgrade
so then how can i flash a firmware?

Ok thanks
Kingo Root Works for Metro PCS Zmax
Try That and there is twrp for zmax just look under model number .
not sure about roms yet will research an let you guys know.
It can be rooted, but it's very hit-or-miss; you can do it perfect fifty times in a row and fail all fifty. There's no reliable way to do it yet.
Latest version of KingRoot (NOT KingoRoot) works fine right after a factory reset. Root using KingRoot, enable Root Permissions in KingRoot, run the TWRP installer APK, uninstall KingRoot and any other apps it installs, boot into TWRP, flash SuperSu Update zip, reboot.

That's what I did, and it worked, but doing a factory reset beforehand sounds like a good idea.

Cant access root without kingroot. Need superSu

What is this Whenever I uninstall kingroot I lose my root access.. I rooted my phone from CF Autoroot, means I should have SuperSu installed but whenever I tried to update binary it used to show disable knox and I did it, I completly uninstalled Knox and now whenever I try to update su binary it says installation failed. Reboot and try again.. I tried sever times but same issue Even I googled and followed dufferent method but su-binary didnt updated and I am forced to stay in kingroot :/
I lije king root
Have you tried flashing supersu.zip in recovery?
Yes, sir I tried from TWRP
It says: There is no SU binary installed, and super SU cannot install it. There is a problem. .

I think the problem is kingroot. It may prevent other superuser apps from installing properly.
If you want supersu, start from 0 (reflash stock) and root it with cf-auto-root first.
Isnt there any alternative way????
KingRoot is only useful if other methods of rooting are either unavailable or not working anymore. If you have a GT-I9505, you can do some trick to root your phone with Towelroot by downgrading kernel using the KitKat one and reflash using the stock Lollipop one right away after rooting.
My suggestion to reflash stock first (like @GDReaper said), and try Towelroot or CF Auto-Root method.

I think another way to root would be to flash TWRP and install supersu from TWRP.
I didn't like KingRoot, and found it very invasive. After it is installed, it continues to slam remote servers for no apparent reason.
KingoRoot seemed 1000 times better and their SuperUser app seems fine. However, the only way I could get SuperSU installed, was to freeze KingoUser/SuperUser and then install SuperSU, then install to system. Reboot and done. I just had to keep Kingo's SuperUser frozen to avoid any problems.
Hopefully this helps.

Brother.. I am in Kitkat only. And I used CF Autoroot to root my device
Did you try removing all traces of previous supersu installations before flashing via TWRP? Which version of supersu was flashed through recovery? The phone has the latest releast of TWRP?
@Athakuri700,
Your phone model?
Sent from my GT-I9500
Its s4 gt-I9505 kitkat 4.4.2 baseband XXUGNH6.. yes the TWRP is of latest one as I flashed from TWRP Manager app..
Not sure if it makes difference but try reflashing twrp using odin, then flash supersu.

[Q] Kingo Root

Rooted successfully with Kingoroot then after I rebooted I lost root. So I opened kingoroot again so I could re root, but it now says I have root and the option to root the phone that's normally there is gone. Just says "Have Root" and the only option I have is to open the kingo Superuser which does me no good. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling kingoroot and still have the same problem. How can I re root my device.
I also can't remove the Kingo superuser app until I am rooted again and can delete system files. Other wise it's stuck on there. So I need root again ASAP
You could re-install stock firmware with Odin and then re-do kingo root. Or you might be able to install TWRP in Odin and flash SuperSu.
