Hoping this isn't a repost I couldn't find anything about this. So I have a lg g2 on 4.2.2. I was trying to root using IORoot exploit v25. I got to where it says Now send the package you want to apply to decive with "adb sideload" <filename> and then I got an error on my computer and IORoot exploit closed. Now I have no idea what to do. Thank you and please be specific because I'm not real familiar with adb. Thanks!

you have to update your mobile using lg mobile update tool in download mode. (file attached) after update format your set ....
since the phone maintains the 2 pushed files on the phone after reboot, is it possible to make an app that can be run from the phone itself to run the two adb commands of Pie root that do the rooting?
Well Google now doesn't work worth an iPhone. .I've spoken those last two lines ADB shell commands out loud for the past 15 minutes and I don't get root
You cannot do it from the phone. That method lacks sufficient permissions

We KNOW that the commands MUST be run from ADB (and not from a SHELL, as your screenshot shows you have tried).....
But before we discount the idea completely, perhaps an experienced DEV could commend on this possibility:
Guys, have a look at this thread regarding running adb commands (through adb wireless) from another android device:
http://androidforums.com/android-applications/783226-run-adb-shell-another-android-phone.html
See the last 2 posts. This user successfully connected one android device to another via WiFi and was able to run adb commands.
Now first, I know that "ADB Wireless" requires root access, however there are 2 non-root variants aptly called "ADB Wireless (No Root)" -- see the play store.
Having read up on those specific apps, I've found that they require you to first connect the USB cable to the PC, and run an adb command to activate ADB over WiFi. What I'm not sure about is if you must do this each time the phone is rebooted. If not, then we have the possibility to actually run adb commands through TCP/IP possibly from the phone itself.
Consider the possibility of using the loop-back address...for instance: adb connect 127.0.0.1 in order to achieve a connection to the device itself.
If the adb command to activate adbwireless on non-rooted devices must be run each time the phone is rebooted, then this solution is probably going to go nowhere....but its worth checking out nonetheless....
We would definitely need a working adb binary for the Moto X in order for this to be possible at all.
See this link: http://forums.androidcentral.com/be...ol-native-adb-fastboot-your-phone-tablet.html
This user has repacked the adb and fastboot binaries (called "kadb" and "kfastboot") so they can be run on an android device itself. The intention is to use USB-OTG to connect another android device and run adb commands on the connected device.
^^ This definitely shows that it is possible to at least run adb commands from another android device connected via USB-OTG.
I know that many users are looking for a way to use PIE without having to connect to the PC after each reboot, hence the reason the "TowelRoot" app has had so much interest...
Unfortunately, TowelRoot has inherent limitations, because of the SU context (Non--Trusted App) as I understand. Several of us (myself included) have attempted to reach out to the developer for comment as to why this SU context is being used, and whether or not it can be modified to use the "Kernel" SU context that jcase is using with PIE, but none of us have received a response....
Do any experienced DEVS care to comment on the possibility of using the methods I have described, or something similar?
EDIT: Also, @doitinthedirt : have you tried to unlock your bootloader via the middleman? Or do you have a 2013 variant that he can not access the code for? The BL unlock solution is far superior to any of these temp-root methods, and it is permanent. (disregard if you already know this and are unable to obtain a code...)
I was running those commands from the same phone.. it was on a wifi network only to access internet. i used an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spartacusrex.spartacuside
Only had about 10 minutes to mess around with it.. going to experiment more tonight.. and another app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
The wireless from my nexus 7 was going to be my next try if i I couldnt get anywhere running from phone itself. And no I have not tried the middleman.. phone is july 3 2014 make so going to send a paypal to him and see if i get a code to unlock.
Getting nowhere..

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you are still trying to run the commands from a terminal SHELL. We -know- that this won't work. I'm not sure you understand what I was trying to express in my earlier post. I will attempt to experiment with the kadb binary, but you shouldn't continue trying to do this from ANY terminal emulator - it simply won't work, as @Neighbor808 has correctly advised...
Both of the apps you have linked ARE terminal emulators (hence running from SHELL).
If an experienced DEV could read my post, they might be able to comment further.
EDIT: I believe this is a lost cause:
From the dev who compiled the kadb binary: "Note : You do not need to be rooted, you do however need a custom recovery or temp boot a custom recovery."
This means that it should -absolutely- work for those of us who are unlocked, but definitely not temp-rooted.
Additionally, the AdbWireless method seems to fall short as well. It will probably work, but only if you connect to your PC first to run an ADB command to activate adb over WiFi, which defeats the whole idea of not having to use a PC.
The only method that IS viable for those of you using PIE, is the USB-OTG method. If you have ANOTHER android device (NOT your X) that:
1. has custom recovery
and
2. supports USB-OTG
Then you could purchase a USB-OTG cable, install the flashable zip containing the kadb and kfastboot binaries from the post I linked earlier, and run the ADB commands FROM the 2nd device.
This may be an option for you. Assuming you have installed custom recovery on your Nexus 7 (it definitely supports USB-OTG), you should be able to install the flashable zip, and run the commands from your Nexus 7 (just like you would from a PC, except using the command "kadb" instead of "adb".....i.e.:
kadb shell chmod 755 /data/local/atvc/root.sh
kadb shell /data/local/atvc/root.sh
I see no reason that this would not work....all the other methods I suggested have been eliminated as possibilities during my research/testing.
I don't, however, see how this is any better than simply connecting to your pc and running the adb commands the traditional way.
Good Luck

Um... Pointing out the inherent limitations of the towel root and why it doesn't work for many and causes issues for others. I'm going to assume that because you are using the XDA app, you didn't see the quote attached to my post, but if you view it in a browser you should understand the point I was making...

Not entirely accurate. Some have managed to use after rooting with PIE, but it does cause issues for many and (once again) has inherent limitations due to the SU context being used.

I don't think hovax is foolish enough to mistakenly believe he has root when he does not lol. He has obviously managed to get it to work for him, as have many others. I am curious if he is experiencing the problems that many others are with towel root, however.
a simple screenshot showing root access in system folder like this one from my other moto x running ios 4.4 rooted with slap, that will convince me

If it was possible, I would have thought JCASE would have released it that way, instead of having to do the process while connected to the PC.

You have to realize that many users including hovax are much more experienced than you seem to be. All the proof you should need is located in the towel root discussion thread.
Remember: you were trying to -speak- adb commands using Google now in order to root your phone...
Some of your comments are likely being taken as insults...
EDIT: I won't be posting any further in this thread. This idea is going nowhere and (obviously) does not belong in the original android development sub-forum.
EDIT2: Mods moved the thread to the appropriate location, so I will continue posting here.
I dont believe anyone has ever rooted an x with tr. all you get is the page pictured in the post above by the guy saying tr says you should have root... ive got it on two moto xs a broken one and a replacement one both on 4.4.2 and fx explorer and root checker confirm no root. one is 15 april 2014 build and the other is 03 july 2014 build. both fail under tr.
Hi,
I have a T-Mobile LG G Flex that used to be rooted and after android system update now it doesn't have root access. Here's the thing: I ran TowelRoot and it displayed the following message: "This device isn't supported". Afterwards I downloaded and installed StumpRoot and when I run the app it displays a message saying: "Device is rooted" but when I run the Root Checker app it tells me device has no root access.
Heres the Software Information from the device:
Android Version

Kernel Version
3.4.0
Build Number

Can anyone point me towards a solution for this? I made a new thread regarding this matter because even though I've seen many people post similar situations they're for other type of devices. Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
I'd say you might have to grab the tot for the d959, flash back to stock and run the updates again, then use stump.

But not gonna work due to the latest update doesn't have download mode. So if you're on the latest, I suggest find a root method ( try stumproot, safe root, I/o root, vroot, towel root, hell id try anything. But that's me. I don't suggest shoot blind if you don't know what you're doing) then install freedom flex get a custom recovery then make a backup and flash d'fuse's rooted KitKat and disable ota's.

Hi, so I am stuck without recovery or download mode. I know that the LG Mobile Support Tool should work but I tried it on two PCs and just as it finishes extracting the software after it downloads, the program runs into an error and closes. I am running D95920s like everyone else here. Just no luck. Any suggestions? I plugged in at 90% Not sure if im doing anything wrong.
Update: So the LG Mobile Tool has many security checks and it doesn't always allow for flashing. If anybody comes across this problem in the future. Refer to mattwheats instructions.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-flex/general/fyi-taking-ota-rooted-twrp-t2999344

I am asking for some help on this. I have always previously used toolkits to root and install recovery but I have a new N6 and I would like to learn to use ADB and fastboot. I have read several help guides and it all seems pretty straight forward except when i query the N6 with "adb devices", it does not return anything. However, if I enter the boot loader and query with "fastboot devices", it recognizes my N6. I have tried several different cables and ports, switching from mtp to ptp, resetting RSA keys, all with no success. I am using the latest adb, version 1.0.32 and my phone is stock 5.1.1. I am not a MAC power user by any means, so if someone can help, please use the simplest terms possible. Many Thanks
Update!....I had used EasyTether a few years ago and it was still in my extensions folder. I had unloaded it but not removed it with no success. Today, I removed it completely and now ADB recognizes my N6!! Thanks to all who commented.

I have been researching and reading guides on this site for almost 2 days just gathering infomation. Today I used the guide i referenced in above post to install ADB on my Mac. Most of the information and guides written on this site are for PC users, so that is where I kept seeing a reference to device drivers, but I just wanted to clarify in case I missed something that was assumed I should already know about using a Mac to root. I am guessing that since my computer recognizes my N6 in system report, that it does not need a driver, but since I am very much a novice, I wanted to ask.

Fair enough. In my adb and fastboot thread, there is a link to a tool that installs adb and fastboot on mac and that is literally all it does, so I don't think there is anything else for you to do. It seems to me that the issue may be on the device side, but unless you have parallels or bootcamp, I'm not going to be able to help you troubleshoot that.

I did not. However, I was able to root and flash recovery using fastboot. I can't for the life of me figure out why ADB isn't working though. I stumbled across an article which referenced EasyTether and how that can interfere with ADB and I remembered a few years ago, I had used that app on a different phone. I looked in the folder mentioned in the article and sure enough, the file extension was still there, so I unloaded it but even that did not help. I am wondering if there might be something else associated with EasyTether affecting it, but have no idea where to look or even how to completely uninstall it.

UPDATE 01-03-2018
Here's an updated root script file courtesy of JRKruse
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962021903579491911
Also, here's a new script to disable Samsung's Security+OTA which will stop the annoying bootloop after flashing the eng-boot file.
First unzip it, then run the _Samsung_Security+OTA_Disabler_(BillA_v2017-12-01).BAT file as soon as the phone powers up right after flashing the eng-boot file. You may have to try it a few times to catch it before it starts rebooting.

No, it's not a bootloader unlock, just root.

As in OP "firmware versions UCS5xxxx v6.0.x"
How do i use the root.bat file? i'm pretty noob
Running pk5, flashed the boot.img, root.bat freezes device, no output from CMD prompt other than the first two lines from the bat file and it freezing, left it for an hour no dice, any thoughts?
Edit: upon further inspection it looks like smu_protection (Knox) is what's holding it up

Good find, try to disable knox through shell root by using pm disable commands, then run the root.bat again.

Disable all of the knox packages i could find, it seems they changed it up since 5.0, Still locks up the device. Not too concerned about it with a more stable 7.0 ROM around the corner, Thanks for the suggestion though!

After flashing the Eng Boot Root, run these commands from your adb folder.
Note that not all may be necessary, but it's for good measure.
adb shell pm hide com.LocalFota
adb shell pm hide com.LogiaGroup.LogiaDeck
adb shell pm hide com.policydm
adb shell pm hide com.samsung.android.intelligenceservice
adb shell pm hide com.samsung.android.securitylogagent
adb shell pm hide com.samsung.sdm
adb shell pm hide com.samsung.syncservice
adb shell pm hide com.sec.android.diagmonagent
adb shell pm hide com.sec.android.fotaclient
adb shell pm hide com.sec.android.fwupgrade
adb shell pm hide com.sec.android.soagent
adb shell pm hide com.sec.fwservice
adb shell pm hide com.sec.omadmspr
adb shell pm hide com.sec.omadmspr.syncmlphoneif
adb shell pm hide com.tmobile.pr.adapt
adb shell pm hide com.ws.dm
adb shell pm hide com.wssyncmldm
Please someone upload complete instructions to root,
After flashing through odin , security notice appears "unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your device to undo any unauthorized changes" in notification bar but not rooted as i check through root checker.
Thanks in Advance
