Trying to root LG L Fino

Hi, everyone. I have a LG L Fine since I bought it some days ago and I'm trying to root it so I can get rid of some apps. I'd tried PurpleDrake, but it gets stuck in "Waiting for device". VRoot gets an error and Stump won't work for my phone.
Can someone tell me how to root it? Thanks.

I've rooted it with PurpleDrake. You need to have latest LG drivers. Then you need to manually install SU and busybox.

ROOT on Lollipop is actually possible, russian guide HERE.
Every game I tried worked flawlessly. I don't think I have ever had any problems with that. Also resolution change (to 1080p) helped with FPS. I think 1440p is for Adreno 330 too much.

Hi, how is it possible to change the resolution? Thanks.

i used the lenovo companion app and it shows that i'm rooted. but when i installed the supersu, either via playstore of twrp, it keep asking me to update binary. Any idea what i can do? thanks.

After pressing update? Still keeps asking? I just flashed latest SuperSU (2.46 i think) in twrp and everything works fine.

yes it tries to update then say not successful. needs to reboot. but then the same after rebooting. not sure if it's because i don't have root. i did manage to install twrp and can reboot into twrp.

Then flash latest SuperSU zip in twrp. I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work

hi bro, i tried that, and it really didn't work. I'm also puzzled. downloaded v2.46 from the supersu website and flashed via twrp. the message is successful. but when i open up, it still prompts me to update binary. sigh.

Rooting Vibe Z2 Pro
Hi,
First I unlocked the Bootloader and used Kingroot app to root VIbe Z2 pro.
I also installed TWRP and it is working fine.

Do you have ROW or chinese version ? Kingroot mobile or destop version ?
I have a chinese model and after lollipop update Gapps not working [ tried a lot of GMsinstaller in vain ] , if you can help me with detailed steps please, I think only after root I can change pemission to gapps in order to work. Tried download and install directly on the phone kingroot v4.5.0.722 and is not working [I am not unlocked the bootloder yet , I am afraid not to brick the phone ].

look dude... i'll be super honest with you. In no android planet will you be able to root your device if you keep a locked bootloader. Get it unlocked first. Does your device have ''fastboot''? because everything will have to start with that.

There are dozens of devices rootable with those one-click generic apps like KingoRoot or Towelroot etc... which doesn't need unlocked bootloader, or even adb/fastboot. Ofc you won't be able to flash custom recovery (via fastboot) and things like that, but essentialy you'll end up with SuperSU installed along with su binary (that's the point of rooting the device, right?).
Before Lollipop firmware update our device was possible to root via those one-click apps.

Honestly to say you are right. I dont know why i was being rogue with you. I think what i should hav said was '' in no android planet would you want to root your device with a locked bootloader''. Reasons being no Nandroid backup restore method.. neither via recovery nor via fastboot image flashing method. Of course taking nandroid backup will be possible e.g using Online Nandroid app, onandroid executable scripts e.t.c. Besides unlocking bootloader only clears your user data. We all know rooting is not a disaster but a window to disaster #BRICK. Think about it.

Kindly provide details of your android version. I mean you could have used some OTA update. Additional information like processor type could be helpful. You could b using an international variant.

Anyway download pdanet for pc... Install it. Have usb debugging on. Check that on developer options on your device. Connect your device to pc then run pdanet to install the necessary driver. (You could also download and use "adb drivers installer.exe for pc as an alternative".
Check your phone screen to confirm the debug promp.
Download iRoot English version for pc.
Install it and run.
Connect your phone with the usb debug still on.
Once your device is detected and name displayed. A button "Root" will appear. Click on it and your phone will reboot if rooting successful.

i tried all roots which are commented here but without success.. i have 5.0.2. -K920_S271_150907_ROW... any idea why?

Officialy unlocked H815 can install (ota) updates

Just uninstall root, remove SuperuserSU (yes pro and standard) and reboot. OTA update then even started installation but ended with an strange error during install. Before removing SuperSU it wouldn't even install. Just boot back into GUI and tell me something like "rooting suspicion. Can not update".
LG Bridge installs Updates just perfectly fine! Then boot into TWRP install SuperSu and finish!

So you can use lg bridge to update if you have unlocked bootloader, root and twrp recovery?

Just tried now, TWRP recovery doesn't remain.

Flash TWRP again. Your are unlocked. What stops you?

Awesome! I'd like to read someone confirming this and i might unlock too

I am unlocked and had root/twrp on 10b. OTA wouldn't go through so plugged it in and LG bridge flashed in download mode. Lost root and twrp but just put them both back. Simple. Confirmed.

But data are still lost as in any other case?

Nope. No data loss. Only root is gone.

Everything looks good now, after update, but only getting error message: "Unfortunately MirrorLink has stopped" ( 2 times during boot).
Any idea?

Do you need MirrorLink? If you don't know what it is, you probably don't. Search for it in TiBa or Debloater and disable it.

Thank You, but i desperately need Mirrorlink and i know exactly what it is for. I just bought 2015 Honda CRV, providing mirrorlink and thought that G4 after update will support it. But have read somewhere, that even after this upgrade LG G4 will support Volkswagen cars only. :crying:

To bad. Sorry to hear that! Isnt' it supposed to work with all brands? And doesn't it depend much more on the maker of the car hifi then the car maker? Honda IS a member of the Open Automotive Alliance (http://www.openautoalliance.net/#section_members).
Hifi that should work: Sony XAV-602BT
Can't you just uninstall LG Mirrorlink and install whatever works. You are rooted, right?`Nevertheless this is off topic now. I recommend opening a new thread "MirrorLink on LG"

But this means "dirty" flash of a new ROM. How to make "clean" flash with LG bridge? Thanx.

Unlocked Bootloader. (You DO have a international version H815, don't you?) TWRP flash su. Done.
Afaik there is a way to unlock the T-mobile Version, I am not sure though.
No sense in buying anything else as there is NO other way to unlock the bootloader.

Anyone tried LG Bridge with 10f? Is there a new firmware for the international H815 available at all?
Send from outer space using telepathy

I think the newest available OS software for the H815 is 10E, which started rolling out just recently.
I think that the slightly older 10F was for the Australian handset (H815T).

"New" (01.09.2015) Software version here is called V10d-EUR-XX. After I checked manually I was offered to OTA. I connected the device to PC instead, fired up LG Bridge, which offered the same software 10d Version. Installed successfully (all the annoying sounds are back) and fastbooted twrp (adb reboot bootloader; fastboot boot TWRP2870.img). Let TWRP install supersu (just hit CANCEL; then REBOOT System and exit TWRP by slide to install). Back in GUI/ROM install SuperSU from PlayStore. Sadly I do have to decrypt to re-flash Xposed Framework. For me I have to decrypt first! Will work, but time consuming…..
Annoying problem that sim card will not be recognized after each boot is back.
Stagefright is fixed! At least that! [emoji23]

Yeah, there's some shenanigans with the version numbers. Like legit 10D (build.prop) still showed 10C in Settings.
And supposedly this new 10E (build.prop) shows as 10D in Settings.
The versioning is a mess, and I don't understand what the hell LG is doing.

How does LG OTA determine if you are using the latest firmware? Is it based on the IMEI (region) of your device or they check your current firmware and compare it with the latest version
I'm asking because I flashed a 10D to my TWN region phone and was wondering if would still receive future OTA updates

Ebay LS997 w/ US996 firmware rooting?

So my beloved LS997's charging port has given up the good fight and no longer works, so I have been hamstringing it along charging batteries outside the phone using an external battery charger... And bought myself a "New Unlocked LS997" that came with Android 7.0 with the intention of rooting it and flashing LineageOS on it and being good to go.
Problem though, Dirty Santa doesn't seem to work beyond step one, and when I attempt to flash a different KDZ per other rooting methods I am getting a SPC code error preventing me from flashing said KDZ.
Anyone have any luck rooting these devices? Thanks in advance!

Use the How to root ZV7 guide by runningnaked. Also you need to flash the vs995 file with Uppercut or the modified Uppercut floating around somewhere. If you are past ZV7 you can't do anything for root. With Uppercut make sure your phone is all set for adb and properly connected. Then also try to open Uppercut as administrator. It will show dump system and other options at bottom if loaded correctly.
If us996...then try the official lg unlock bootloader method. What I described is for ls997.
Ls997 cross flashed to us996...idk. depends on what software version if that's that case.
As for adb...when connected to PC make sure to also have photo transfer selected instead of file tranfer.

If it's an LS997 that's been cross-flashed to US996 firmware, then it should be rootable because if it weren't , then you wouldn't even be able to cross-flash anything on it.

I used the modified LGUP found over here.
Make sure you put the phone in download mode (with the phone powered off, hold down volume-up, then connect the phone via USB to your computer) before running LGUP. The rooting guides don't mention this since they assume you know how to downgrade firmware before starting the main rooting procedure.

My mistake...yes download mode before lg up...not adb. True on the cross flashed and being rootable.
