[Q] I want to root my LG Optimus L7

I have tried a million ways but none were successful. I have an LG Optimus L7 that is super slow and I want to make it faster by rooting it. I am running Android 4.1.2, my Kernel-version is 3.4.0, my Build-number is JZO54K and my Softwareversion is P70020d-EUR-XX.
Thanks in advance.

Try Framaroot app - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
After installing it, just choose Gandalf and it will inform you of the results. I rooted this way my v20c 4.1.2 JB.

Thanks, do you also know how I can overclock my phone so it will run much faster?

if you are on a custom rom, i think it has a OC kernel

Sorry for sounding possibly retarded, but I really have no clue what a custom ROM is and what an OC Kernel is, can you maybe explain me how I install all of this stuff?

i can better give you an example of custom rom, CM - cyanogenmod
you know we don`t have android 4.2.2 or 4.3 but we have roms, made by developers , as CM, which is based on Android version 4.2.2 or 4.3
Is like you are using JB 4.2.2, but a better one, with no useless apps on it
OC - overclock , you know, you have , on l7, a kernel with 1000 MHz, you can overclock it to 1300, if i am not wrong, but, this can in time to make demage to your cpu if you are using it very much

First of all, thanks for the clear explanation. Secondly, if I install a custom ROM, will I still be able to download stuff using the Play Store? Like WhatsApp and Snapchat? And how do I install a custom ROM?

use HD when you are on CWM

In the video you said I need to have two things, one of them is a rooted phone and the other one was something about a recovery. Can you explain what I need to do with the recovery?

i said about CWM
install ROM Manager apk
and from there, install CWM, you can after reboot in CWM too

I think I did something wrong. I installed the ROM Manager and also installed Clockwork Recovery Mod, and when I rebooted my phone into recovery so I could install CM10 using my external SD Card I only got white lines. I removed my battery and restarted my phone and I had to configure every thing again as if it was going through a factory reset.

try this
maybe you need to unlock the bootlaoder too

This time I think it worked but when it went into that mode it said "Secure Boot Error" "Cause Verification Why".
Any idea how to fix this?

yes, look on that i gave to you, you have there how to unlock the bootloader
this is the problem, the bootlaoder needs to unlocked

The link to the CWM package is a 404 page, where can I find a different download link?

you said you installed cwm, just unlock the bootloader now

Right now it's installing the cm10 package with ROM Manager, but what do I have to do with that 'gapps' file? How do I install it and what is it?

So... Hello Xda, I pretty Much didnt post on my old account and at some point lost access to my email User. it was ages old.
I'm sitting here with my new Note 3, its an Snapdragon one, LTE, N9005, and i updated it manually to 4.4.2 using odin, and now i'm Freaking tired of touch****z (sorry. Don't mind the language.) and well, basically i don't get what to do, do i need to downgrade it? what do i need to install a recovery? how do i get root on stock? I hope that i don't seem rude, i just lost track, and i don't want to brick a seven hundred euro phone, understandable, so if somebody would help me out, I'd be super glad. and again thanks for a still awesome community XDA Members.

You can gain root by following the post above, take note that rooting might trigger your knox counter and void your warranty.
Since you've lost track search and read will be your best option.

So far so good.
Thanks for the Help guys, I managed to do all this and install Philz recovery, but other recoveries wont boot, when i tried to install CM11 through Philz i get Something about an kernel not enforcing, and nothing more but that looping over and over again. Is it even possible to install roms on it?
Any help would be super great

Are there any ASOP Roms on that out?
I Found out that Recoveries also changed, and install a CWM that works with 4.4. I'm pretty fine with it now!
Now i'll just be waiting for asop stuff like the rest of the note3 section. Thanks for the Help everybody!

[Q] LS-980 ZVC compatible roms

Hey everyone I currently have a LS-980 on stock KK rooted with ioroot25 and twrp'ed using autorec.
What roms out there (if any) are compatible with ZVC? Stock KK is ok but after trying out the Pacman
Rom when I was on JB I just love the kind of vanilla android feel more and I want that back lol. But
don't really want to go through the whole process of downgrading right now. So if you guys could point
me to a rom that is definitely ZVC compatible it would be much appreciated. Thanks

zvc dark ui rom
The only dark ui rom i have found to work on my ls980 is CARBON

Not to get off topic
My phone came stock ZVC as well, I downgraded to ZV8 and added CM11. Now I want to go CM11 to 2-Faced Rom or another ZVD or ZVC compatible rom however, when I try to flash the proper files to do so I get stuck in a bootloop. Any help? I have also tried flashing the newest dormanx kernel did not uplift the bootloop. My only real want is to run a rom that has LG stock apps and a working hotspot mod that uses the triband radio the phone is fully capable of.

The above anwser is incorrect. What he said only applies to official firmware.
It will probably work. Just try it out. There is no harm done if it doesn't.

I was asking of the same thing, but noone answered. I think you need to flash in recovery DROIDTH PATCH KK RETURN and reboot to recovery, then flash the cloudy 2.2 rom, you can try and tell me i am right

Scroll down to the end of second post. There are files, like i said above. I don't know this will flash everything correctly, without any brick, but i will try it, sounds safe.
Patch return KK droidh

Yes, if your'e on stock based 5.0.2 or cm 12.1, flash PATCH RETURN KK DROIDTH and DONT FORGET to then reboot to recovery - then you will be able to flash KK rom.
Try it yourself you will learn the difference.

So is it true what Radac said? Anyone flashed it?

Ive sold G2, bought Note 5....after g2's lolipop it looks like i got ferrari after fiat 500 lol....Battery is much better, and talking about speed after g2 is ridiculous....G2 was great phone before 5.0...i hope it will get 6.0, or 5.1 at least, as 5.1 is snappy as ****
