keityrobins said:
Hello. I would like to ask for help about our phone. As of now there are no working rooting method available and we cannot move apps to sd since asus disabled that option, our internal storage is therefore limiting us to install more apps. Anyone knows how to root it would be of great help.
Asus Zenfone Go has MT680 chipset running android 5.1.

Click to collapse
then lets create a new one, but first let me know if there are mistakes on the tutorial.
I have not been on this site since posting my guide, i do want to let any future people reading this know that, I am not a professional. everything in this guide is using stuff from other peoples threads.... this thread is just step by step directions on how i rooted (and installed TWRP on) MY lg k7 (MetroPCs). Also i had to root before i unlocked the boot loader. Which is not safe, you should probably unlock the boot loader before you root, but i couldn't figure out how to unlock it without root access.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY THING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE!
YOU AND ONLY YOU CAN BE HELD RESPONSIBLE
~BACK UP FILES ON PC, YOUR PHONE WILL BE RESET TO FACTORY SETTINGS DURING THIS TUTORIAL~

C) click on the "new link" next to "Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip"
D) extract the .zip so that the "MRW" folder is on your internal storage
(Easiest way is to download it on PC and open up your k7 in "my computer" and select internal storage and drag the MRW folder inside the .zip there)
E) go to google play and search "terminal emulator for android" or use this link if your reading this on your phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en

L) when SU opens, select "update" "install" or what ever pops up
M) when it asks to uninstall, uninstall it, it is not uninstalling SuperSU it is uninstalling Kingroot,
O) if 30 minutes pass and it is still uninstalling then exit the app and then reboot the phone
DO NOT STOP HERE ~ YOU HAVE TO UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER, and OPTIONALLY FLASH TWRP
Step Nine: Unlocking The Bootloader
A) refer to step one and double check the OEM unlock is enabled and USB debugging is turned on
(If not then please enable them)
B) search quick boot on the google play store download the first app it should be a circle with a lightening bolt

I) hold shift, then right click on the "platform-tools" folder, then select "open command window here"
J) in the CMD window type "fastboot devices" - without quotations
(everything is case sensative)
K) then type "fastboot oem unlock" - without quotations
L) then type "fastboot getvar unlocked" if that doesn't work try "fastboot getvar" or "fastboot getvar unlock" to confirm if it is unlocked
(if non of the getvar commands work you did something wrong, and i wont be able to help you, but if you followed the tutorial you shouldn't have any issues as these are the exact steps i took)
M) then type "fastboot reboot"
LEAVE THE CMD OPEN OR YOU WILL HAVE TO REPEAT steps H-I
Step Ten: Flashing TWRP
A) go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/qa-metro-pcs-lg-k7-lgms330-t3331678 and click on the latest download for twrp for me it is BETA1
if the links on that page dont work then use the links here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66282525&postcount=42
B) extract the download into your SDK folder on your PC
C) in the sdk CMD window from Step nine
D) type "fastboot devices" - without qoutation
E) ~optional, HIGHLY RECOMENDED~
1)type fastboot "boot twrp-image-3.img" - this will boot up twrp WITHOUT flashing it, just so you can make sure everything is working right
in my case it was twrp-image-3.img check your twrp file name and replace fastboot boot twrp-image-3.img with
fastboot boot INSERT YOUR FILE NAME HERE.img
2)in twrp tap reboot>bootloader
F) when bootloader mode opens back up
G) type "fastboot flash twrp-image-3.img" or "fastboot boot INSERT FILE NAME HERE.img" depending on your file name
H) when finished flashing type "fastboot reboot"
Step eleven
A) follow instructions on step one
B) the reason you must do this is because when you flash TWRP it erases your entire phone and resets it
Congrats you have Successfully Rooted, Unlocked Your Bootloader, and Flashed TWRP, to your LG K7
Well done, my friend. Well done indeed.

is this ok with the gapps 5.1 instsall .zip for twrp install or should i use a different? also, do you have a suggested camera app? awesome thread btw. Nevermind simple twrp install fixed everything.
I have tribute 5 and can't access bootloader or install SuperSU.....always fails.
How can I get this to work?
Today backup important files you need!
Is this a real method BC everybody having problems rooting this device so I ask can u make a video and add screenshots
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
I can confirm this method works. The only different thing i did was purchase Supersume pro from playstore. Worked like it said it would. The Ls675 is rootable. But no bootloader unlock or bootloader at all for that matter. Im running MS330 with TWRP full root and have twrp backups and fastboot flashable backups via flashfire....

While it does work I can find no method using the buttons to get into twrp all the instructions I find for recovery fail so I can only boot back to it after the phone boots, thus it's worthless at this point. Also the command is fastboot flash recovery imgagename.img and you'll need to remove kingroot from administrators to uninstall.
Anyone else been able to boot directly into twrp from the off position?

Try to do the factory hard reset trick but say no at the second screen. I haven't tried it out yet but I've been reading around several sites and that's a possible solution

I'm no developer by any means but I have Linux and windows on my laptop. I'm familiar with kernel building on bunt and have the source code for MS330 on my laptop. I have a backup of my boot img as well. If you can get to fastboot u can probably flash my boot img if you want me to send it. I have recovery img as well which is twrp. Let me know if you have any ideas on what u need or i can do as far as possibly doing a fresh build kernel later tonight and getting a zImage out of it
Does anyone know a way to successfully root this phone? Not just recover?

Of other interest 5.1 is very dendent on Google apps and move app updates to the system via TB or Link2SD fails more than it succeeds, shows they moved but app inaccessible afterwards hence brick. Mine went down trying to integrate play services and reinstalling from adb didn't help. FYI if you relock the BL it'll lock the phone with a security error too. Moving play services causes unending error screens so you can't really see if it's done moving, but I waited a good 5 minutes before reboot. Issue on fails could have been the system not being r/w. Needless to say backup, backup, backup as I hadn't because I've never had a serious issue doing that and considered it a trivial task. Anyone had good success with integrating updates and cache? Anyone restored from twrp yet?

Can you figure out why we can't boot to recovery via hardware buttons? That's critical for tinkering and testing on the go since I always have my phone but not my laptop for booting into recovery with adb. Not sure exactly where to look, probably start with a search for the words "recovery" and "safe mode" for the buttons and "security error" in the boot.img files.

If your rooted u can dl a reboot recovery app on the play store I have one that works like a charm. But im gonna take a look through Linux at the kernel options using make menu_config and see if there's anything I can see in there.

Thanks again. For anyone that has a soft bricked LG K7 see this man! He brought my S#!? To life through teamveiwer. Thanks again. From my LG K7.
Maybe just my experience, but regarding step 10. I had to have the twrp image in SDK>platform tools, also when you get to fastboot flash twrp-image-3.img, I couldn't get it to work, until I typed it as fastboot flash recovery twrp-image-3.img. Hope this helps anyone else getting errors during this part. Thanks for the writeup.

IMPORTANT | IMPORTANT | IMPORTANT | IMPORTANT | IMPORTANT
Backup any personal files because everything will be deleted! Make sure you have at least 50% battery remaining.
1. Unlocking the bootloader officially
This is the first step in voiding your warranty so is the point of no return. I've read in some places that you may be able to do this without voiding your warranty but I did not look into this.
WARNING - This will delete everything on the phone so make sure to backup important personal files.
i) Visit the official LG website to obtain a bootloader unlock file. First click the 'How to Unlock the Bootloader' tab and then the button 'Starting Unlocking the Bootloader' at the bottom of the page: https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
ii) Sign up to a free developer account using a real email address (it's needed)
iii) Enter your IMEI number which you can find on your box, under the battery or by dialing *#06# on the phone. Keep this tab open
iv) On your phone, go to settings -> About phone -> Software info and then tap on Build number 7 times. Go back to Developer options under general settings and enable 'USB debugging' and 'Enable OEM unlock'.
v) Install the LG G4 drivers from here: http://oceanhost.eu/e4h2px4e0hkd/LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.0.4.exe.htm
vi) Download and install minimal adb 1.4 from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24521665358595410
vii) Browse to where you installed this and then right click and select 'Open command window here'. By default, this is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
viii) Plug in your phone to your computer using a reliable USB port and cable (USB 3.0 doesn't seem to work). Enter "adb reboot bootloader" into the command window without quotations. Wait for it to reboot and then type "fastboot oem device-id"
ix) This fastboot command will return a character string. This is the Device ID which is needed to generate your unique unlock key. It will look like this:
Code:
Example Device ID (PC User)$ fastboot oem device-id
(bootloader)-----------------------------------------------------------------
(bootloader) Device-ID
(bootloader) CD58B679A38D6B613ED518F37A05E013
(bootloader) F93190BD558261DBBC5584E8EF8789B1
(bootloader)-----------------------------------------------------------------
To generate your unlock key, you will need to paste together the 2 lines of output into one continuous string without "(bootloader)" or white spaces. In the example above, the Device ID would be:
CD58B679A38D6B613ED518F37A05E013F93190BD558261DBBC5584E8EF8789B1
Paste this into the LG website form and confirm. It will email you an unlock.bin file which you need to put in the same folder as your adb.exe file.
x) Now enter "fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin" into the command window. This should take seconds.
xi) Now check it is unlocked. By entering “fastboot reboot” and waiting for it to reboot. Then enter "adb reboot bootloader" again and then "fastboot getvar unlocked" and verifying that the response is "unlocked: yes".
Your bootloader should now be unlocked.Keep this command window open for the next step.
Thanks to shimp208 for minimal adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
2. Installing TWRP Custom Recovery
This will install a custom recovery allowing you to make backups and flash zip files.
i) With your bootloader freshly unlocked, you can boot up the device and set it up. Go through the startup guide thoroughly without skipping as these settings are going to stay.
ii) Download the latest TWRP img file from https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4387389&d=1515789045 and place it in the same folder as your adb.exe file and unlock.bin. Now rename it to lgg4-twrp.img without changing the file extension!
iii) Now also copy the lgg4-twrp.img file to your phone's SD card using a USB cable.
iv) Enable USB debugging again
v) Open up a command window again by Shift+Right clicking in the folder with adb.exe.
vii) In the command window, type "adb reboot bootloader". Wait to enter the bootloader and then type "fastboot boot lgg4-twrp.img" and hit enter. The device should now restart in TWRP but it is not installed yet.
vii) Once TWRP starts, select 'install' and then tick 'images' at the bottom.
viii) Find the lgg4-twrp.img file and select it. Then in the next menu select 'recovery' and swipe the bar at the bottom to confirm flash.
ix) You should then see 'Image Flash Complete' so can select back then reboot and system.
(If installing from an external SD card, go to 'mount' from the main screen and then tick to mount your ext SD card. Go back and continue as normal)
Thanks to TeamWin for TWRP https://twrp.me/
Thanks to Adam Myczkowski for TWRP install corrections.
3. Root
By now, you should have an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery installed.
If you use snapchat, you won't be able to log in with a rooted phone. So it would be a good idea to install it now and log in. You remain logged in rooting and installing Xposed. Quicklink: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snapchat.androidi) Download SuperSU from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960690845 and place it on your phones internal storage.
(this works fine but you can get the latest from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3
ii) Make sure you have USB debugging enabled again.
iii) Now with your phone on and plugged in, enter recovery by opening adb as before and entering "adb reboot recovery".
If you have problems, see the end of this sectioniv) Once in the recovery, hit install and browse to the SuperSU file we just downloaded.
vii) Swipe flash and then reboot into the system.
The phone should now boot and be rooted. If not, see the notes at the end of this section.
You can use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck to verify if you have root.
• If your phone does not turn on then pull out the battery and USB cable and then put just the battery back in. Now Press and hold the volume down and power buttons together. Then first LG logo should appear. Now continue holding the down button but release the power button for one second and then press it again and hold.
You should now see a screen asking you to wipe everything. Navigate with the down arrow and press the power button for both screens. This should now take you to TWRP recovery and NOT actually wipe the phone.
• If you had a bootloop then follow the above steps to get into the recovery and then you will need to download the following onto the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/stock-h815-20g-images-kdz-flashable-t3450503 [1.5GB]
Once in the recovery, you are able to connect the phone to the computer for regular data transfer in order to transfer the file. (I had problems with the microSD card so I would avoid it).
This system image seems to be missing the FM Radio, LG Remote and SmartSettings, Voice Recorder and Quickmemo apps. To get these back, go to general settings -> About phone -> Update centre -> App updates and download/install as necessary.• If you still could not get into the recovery at all then follow the unbrick steps below in section 6.
Thanks to autoprime for the system images [url[http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/stock-h815-20g-images-kdz-flashable-t3450503[/url]
Thanks to Chainfire for SuperSU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125
4. Installing Xposed
i) Download Xposed from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3848457&d=1471691646 and place it on your phone or SD card
ii) Enter recovery using the methods shown before. (You can also now enter recovery using this root app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antaresone.quickreboot)
iii) Use the recovery menus to flash the zip file. Reboot.
iv) Download and install the Xposed installer app, XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk, from the post attachment here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Thanks to rovo89 for Xposed and Follow_and_Feel for sharing the G4 Xposed link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
5. Installing Viper4Android (this breaks FM radio!)
WARNING - The FM radio app will not work after installing this.
i) Download Viper4Android from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lvcxffdqimbi78b/V4A_Poweramp_Lollipop_v3.zip?dl=0
ii) Place the zip file on your phone or SD card and flash it in recovery. Reboot.
iii) Open the ViperFX app. From the menu and install the driver.
iv) You need to get Viper4Android to run in enforcing mode so flash this zip in recovery: https://www.dropbox.com/s/k9cnruw2e1t1d4t/ViPER4Android-supolicy.zip?dl=0
Install it. Open the app and set selinux to permissive. Reboot.
v) Install BusyBox from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
Thanks to the ViperFX developers and zhuhang for Viper4Android http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Thanks to Choristav for the Viper4Android file http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/guide-poweramp-viper4android-lollipop-t3133935
Thanks to maximumentropy for the SElinux enforcing zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=61242973#post61242973
Once all this is done and you're happy. It would be a good idea to enter recovery and make a full backup so that you can restore to the clean rooted state.
6. Unbrick Guide
If something messed up while flashing something and can't boot. Open up the recovery and restore your backup. If you don't have one, flash the v20d system image from an external SD card [1.5GB]. Download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/stock-h815-20g-images-kdz-flashable-t3450503
If you cannot get to the recovery then follow these steps:
i) Make sure you have the LG Drivers installed from here: http://oceanhost.eu/e4h2px4e0hkd/LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.0.4.exe.htm
ii) Download the LG Bridge software from here: http://www.lg.com/us/support/product-help/CT10000025-1438110404543-preinstall-apps
iii) Remove the battery and reinsert it so the device it is fully off.
iv) While holding the up volume button, insert your USB cable.
v) You should enter download mode. Go to the Software Update tab of the LG Bridge. It will say connecting and then should say your device is up to date. Click on the recovery text on the bottom right and then follow the instructions. The software will download the system image for you and this is roughly 1.6GB so make sure your firewall doesn't block this connection.
This shouldn't delete your data (no guarantees) but you will have to grant app permissions again and reapply any changes to system files e.g. root, viper4android, xposed ect.
If you have problems try this method instead:

7. Debloat
Here is a list of apps and services an XDA user has suggested removing: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/bloatware-tool-t3141890/post61509537#post61509537
Removing these won't break the phone but of course be smart about it; removing Weather will mean you don't have the weather app. I only removed Google apps I don't use and redunadant apps from LG.
You can remove bloat apps using the Titanium Backup app from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
I would advice you to make a backup of them first in case you want them back. It's the easiest way to get the apps back.
If you do need a guide for using Titanium Backup, head over to this excellent guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717159
8. Battery Optimisations
The aim is to get maximum battery life without compromising speed, user experience, features or notifications.
(I'm just going to use the following space as a log of things I've done. I will tidy this up when complete. Please do suggest if any of these things are ineffective or detrimental.)
Read through this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-g4-lag-free-marshmallow-t3327878
1. Disable Activity Logs: General Settings -> About phone -> Activity Logs at the bottom.
Also try following the steps on here; users report better battery life: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/4fb4uf/psa_free_up_some_ram_up_to_300mb_and_maybe_gain_a/
2. Disable Smart Settings under General Settings
3. Disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi scanning location service: General Settings -> Location -> Menu -> Scanning -> Untick both. (I honestly can't believe these exist. I wondered why I have bluetooth wakelocks)
4. Disable Open Wi-Fi scanning: Network Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Menu -> Advanced -> Untick Wifi notification. Toggle this on and off as it should also fix random white LED blinking.
5. Greenify 2.9 beta to enable aggressive doze.
6. Follow this guide for processor tweaks http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-advanced-interactive-governor-t3269557
Please note that this is my first thread and I'm not a developer. I hope the instructions are as complete and accurate as possible and they are what I followed for my H815 602. If there are any things I forgot or updates, please do let me know.
Superb guide. Thanks. Should be stickied.
Official LG don't unlock bootloader for H815P
Only europe is eligible for service
when i try to get my device id it just hangs at:
Code:
C:\ADB>adb reboot bootloader
C:\ADB>fastboot oem device-id
< waiting for any device >
any ideas?
running win10, with the drivers installed.
-LE-
found out the problem. usb3.0 does not work used usb2.0 and work flawlessly
On 6.0 Android is more secured and so to install recovery you have to either boot the recovery, flash custom kernel, then flash recovery or unpack boot.img from a custom kernel, flash it via fastboot, then flash recovery and lastly full kernel package in recovery. Better if you include this in your guide because many people will be asking "why my recovery is not booting?" and that's what we don't want. I've repeated this about 50 times or more and finally I will not have to.
Hi! Thanks for this guide!
Just found a "typo"
ii) Now with your phone on and plugged in, enter recovery by opening adb as before and entering "adb fastboot recovery". (You will need to enable USB debugging again)
I'm sure it should say "adb reboot recovery" : )
It could be worth saying that after installing root, there will be a boot loop or two, it even say so when you install the latest SuperSU.
I am also interested in your battery optimization, the most I've done so far is to disable NFC and location and disable some of my google account syncs that I don't use or use very rarely.

Thanks for the correction.
In addition to what you've done, I have installed greenify and hibernated Snapchat, Viber and Facebook apps. WhatsApp isn't hibernated.
I have the donate version and xposed so till gcm push notifications.
I haven't done anything else. I had better battery stats installed for a few days and I kept checking it and was annoyed that I'd always have ~30% awake time with the screen off. There were no kernel wake locks, it was just app alarms mainly from android and Google.
I was getting 4 hours SOT and 20 hours use out of the box. Now I'm down to 3 hours 30.
I really wish the Autostarts app would work but it has no effect: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts
This would allow me to stop many apps from waking up everytime the connectivity changes or the screen is unlocked.
I have Greenify with the donate Xposed settings. Coalescing, Deep Hibernation and GCM push enabled only. Here are the apps I have greenfied:
Maps
Skype
Viber
Messenger
Snapchat
Whatsapp
Gmail with 1 Google and 1 Yahoo account
CF.Lumen
Lux Autobrightness
Spotify
Viper4Android in High quality mode. Enabled are playback gain control; Equalizer; Dynamic System; Fidelity Control; Auditory System Protection and gain limiter.
Is anyone else not getting any sound from the radio app? It starts and even tunes to frequencies with channel name and now playing I hear no sound through headphones or speakers.
I've tried removing the app and installing from the update centre again.
The NextRadio app is incompatible (even when sideloading the apk) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nextradioapp.nextradio&hl=en
Well, I tried to unlock the H815 Taiwan version (bought on Amazon as a USA unlocked cellphone... ) but is not supported.
Damn it!

i am wondering: if I go to settings / general / backup&reset, and then LG backup and perform a full backup on my SD card, will I be able to restore it all after rooting and get the system as it was previously?

I haven't tried it myself but have gone with the tried and trusted TWRP backup: http://www.howtogeek.com/240582/how-to-back-up-and-restore-your-android-phone-with-twrp/
And ADB backup which also works without root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351
These work great; you end up booting exactly where you left off and even with browser tabs still open as you left them.
From my understanding, you would need to boot into the phone and then perform the restore in the LG app. So this would require a bootable phone. The only times I restore would be after bootloops. For general app restore and settings, I use Titanium Backup. This provides the added benefit of being able to restore on different phones.
just to update all of you: I did root my 20d g4 and LG backup managed to restore almost everything. All apps are back, but I needed to agree to permissions for all of them and some returned with saved data, some did not. For example, none of my BT devices were recognised, so I have to pair all of them, which is tricky for moto 360, since it needed to be factory reset. However, I am very pleased with how things went in the end.
Also, my phone was not recognised when rebooting to fastboot, it took me an hour of changing ports and drivers, but then I decided to install the driver manually via device manager (win 7). I made an educated guess and nailed it
Also, I had a really hard time unlocking the bootloader, because LG site kept providing "service unavailable" message, so I had to fool the server that I am in Singapore (like in this guide https://youtu.be/O64GfQORCaE )...
it is work for H815-L?
and i will be glad if you post a guide how to unlocking the bootloader without voiding my warranty
and how about a guide to unlock the free money printing machine in our G4s? LOL
warranty will be void
Question will this work on sprint variants
I've updated the Viper4Android install method. You can flash this zip file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=61242973#post61242973
This will allow you to run Viper4Android without having to set SELinux to permissive. This is better for security but I also had issues with the SELinux mode changing back so would sometimes have to reboot or reinstall the viper driver to get it to work again. After doing this, you don't need the SELinux mode changer app.
will this work on v20e?

One reason why I don't want to try rooting tools is that I want to backup my stock rom without root access.. So I want to install a custom recovery first but I only saw one for this device and it seems to be not working yet. I also want to extract my stock recovery.img but I need to fastboot boot TWRP for that
I'm also interested in just straight Rooting this device, not interested in ROMs etc. I tried APK KingRoot (latest) and after doing a 'Root Check' with an app it did not come back rooted. Can someone provide tools & steps for the newbie please?

How to update to newest global AA build with root, There is no computer needed. Just restore stock boot img backup from exkm, then go into magisk > uninstall > restore images. Then go to OTA and it will let you install no issues. Then, before rebooting, but after OTA install, go back into magisk, click install, install to inactive slot (after OTA) option. Then reboot.
