I recently got a new phone - LG L Fino (D290) - after some time I googled how to root it and found the PurpleDrake method. People said that it works and it saved their lives.
I tried it - PD said that everything was successful.. so I installed SuperSU and can't get it to update binaries, all I get is an alert that says "Installation failed"
There is no CWM nor TWRP recovery compatible with my phone.
Even after hard-resetting the phone I have the same trouble
Can anyone help?
I changed SuperSU to Superuser. When I try to update binaries on this one, it fails on downloading the manifest file.
Seriously, I need help...
Well firts of all sorry if my english is bad. I root the phone with purpledrake method and it was completely succesful. Then i went to Google Play and i downloaded this apphttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu Open it, click in update, normal and thats all. You will have supersu and your phone rooted. (If you have reset the phone try to do the purpledrake method again and then download the app)
Im guessing this is a unique problem with your device. Try reflashing a stock KDZ and trying again.
Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. I found a really nice way to root the L FINO with no issues.
Get Kingo root app, It's an installer. It will install root and a SuperUser which is Kingo SuperUser or Something like that.
If you need screenshots, I'm here !

Hey guys so i got a brand new GT I9500 today and first thing i did was attempt to root it. I've installed CWM + Clicked root device + New Method..
Now after rebooting and what not; Root checker shows that it IS rooter, meanwhile whenever i launch SuperSU it just shows the loading symbol.. Nor can any applications take root access. To top it off, i cant uninstall/update/reinstall supersu from now ..
Any suggestions?
Thanks
EDIT:
As dumb as it may be.. Somehow my SU updated via play store which messed up the binaries. I reinstalled SuperSU from CWM package and voila! Perfect now.

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?
FIrst of all I followed the steps mentioned here: www . thetechnotriad . com /326/how-to-root-yu-yureka/
All the steps worked flawlessy, and I have the superSU app installed too but when i check root checker app , it says the phone is not rooted,
and I am not able to uninstall any pre installed apps or stop auto starting apps, there is no root request going to superSU
Also I am not able to uninstall Super SU app.
Please help

Hi,
Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/general/how-to-install-twrp-lg-g2-noob-friendly-t3396596
I rooted with newest kingroot i currently don't have access to a computer atm, it displays ads on lockscreen and lags ive tried everything to replace w supersu it doesnt delete it ive noticed the script tries to delete "com.kinguser" stuff i also noticed they changed the kingroot apk to "cafeuser.apk" inside a folder called cafeuser i dont want to just delete it because like i said i dont have access to computer i want to know if anyone knows a successful way to uninstall this new kingroot 4.9.6 and keep root status and perhaps use superuser or supersu without computer access safely thank you for your time
Be advised im using a metropcs LG K7
LG MS330 running 5.1.1
may help
When asking for help you need to provide additional information such as device info:
sdk
manufacturer
model
However I faced the same problem too!
If I understood you correctly...so first thing first.
1. install superSU first & use root to install it as a system app any root apps can do that)
2. before rebooting the phone....please install busybox utilities from an app called "Busybox" on google play
3. reboot the device
4. once successfully rebooted open SuperSU & grant it root from kingroot & try to get it to install its binary.
- if it cant, disable kingroot after you know superSU was granted root & then try again.
-if it doesnt work again...then uninstall kingroot & relaunch SuperSU & try to let it install its binary again.
I have the lgms330 with the same kingroot version, did yours also automatically convert it to a system applies? I've never seen it do that on my other phones. Also my PlayStore stopped working when the update showed up there. Lol only good thing is Google also stopped telling me it would hurt the system. I have the newest version downloaded but I'm terrified to install it until I get some opinions cuz I currently don't have a monitor for my computer in case I brick it.
