Use TowelRoot app instead! It is oneclick and without reboot.
Starting fom 10e firmware TowelRoot doesn't work. For root you can use this guide or PurpleDrake script for G3 - it works fine on LG L90.
Here is the link: http://goo.gl/0E3jMn
However, this guide still works!
Code:
#include
/*
* Your warranty is now likely void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* spontaneous combustion, or any other host of cosmic penalties
* which may befall you, your family, or your phone.
*
*/
First of all we have to say thanks to sintazqz from 4pda for being the first to root the phone.
The procedure is done for L90 but it also have to work on other similar 2014 year LG phones with kitkat as L40, L70, G2 mini and others (L80). Confirmed working!
Carrier branded phones are not supported as I can see from replies.
It is recommended to fully charge your phone before the procedure.
After the procedure the phone will be rooted and the hidden LG RCT utility will know about it. So your warranty is likely void.
So, let's go:
1.Format external sdcard using cardreader into ext2. I use Windows 7 so I installed MiniTool Partition Wizard from here to format my sdcard.
USE ONLY PRIMARY PARTITION, NOT LOGICAL! thnx for note to @wikid24
The reason to use ext2/3/4 partition is that ntfs/fat partitions are not detected by recovery.
You can also try ext4, if ext2 doesn't work for you!

Click to collapse
2.Download update.zip that is attached to the post and move it to your ext2 sdcard. I had to use Ext2Fsd tool to mount ext2 partition to Windows 7.
View attachment update.zip
HELP for Windows users:
Open Ext2Fsd tool and find your ext2 partition there.

RightClick on your ext2 partition, choose "Ext2 Management", uncheck the first checkbox (mount read-only) and check the second (automatically mount...).
Click Apply.

Now you can move update.zip using Windows Explorer. So move it.
View attachment update.zip
3.Install LG drivers if you still didn't.
4.If you don’t have ADB on your computer: install Android SDK or just download ADB.rar and unpack it somewhere (e.g. C:/ADB/ )
View attachment ADB.rar
5.Prepare your phone. Turn on USB debugging: Settings – General – Developer options – USB debugging.
If you don’t see it: Settings – General – About phone – Common – Software info – click 5-10 times on Build number.
Added by @Cliffwiggum about L40c/L70c versions:
I successfully rooted the LG optimus zone 2 from Verizon prepaid which is the LG L40c, as well as the LG optimus exceed 2 which is the LG L70c. In order to get either phone into USB debugging mode I had to connect my phone as Internet -> Ethernet (instead of MTP) before USB debugging mode would turn on.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6.Connect your phone to computer.
ATTENTION! On the first connection to computer it will ask you to allow USB debugging.
7. Open ADB. (I use Shift+RightClick on ADB folder and choose Open command line)
8.In the opened window type the next line and press Enter.
Code:
adb devices
It will show your LG device:
Code:
List of devices attached
LGD410a123456 device
Then type next lines. Press Enter after each of them.
Code:
adb shell
reboot recovery
The phone will reboot to stock 3e recovery.
9. Now you can unplug your phone. Plug in your sdcard.
Navigation: Volume+/- = Up/Down; Power = Choose.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In recovery choose “apply update from external sdcard” – update.zip
Then choose “reboot system now”
The phone will reboot.
You are ROOTED!
To unroot and save your warranty you just have to reflash the ROM by LG Mobile Support Utility - Upgrade recovery option.
LG RCT tool will forget that it was ever rooted. All the settings (except those that need root) will be kept.
Working for the L70. Thanks.
Not working for my L70, "reboot recovery" in adb just does a normal reboot instead of going into the stock 3e recovery.
I rooted my LG L70(LG-D320n)

That's strange, because I've got confirmation that it works on L70 too.
Maybe someone will find what's wrong.
Do you write "adb reboot recovery " or "adb shell " and then "reboot recovery "? Because first method really just reboots the phone.

You can use LG Mobile Support Tool to reflash the Rom with the option "restore after failed update" or so, because I don't have this software in English.

I can't find any working way to download kdz from LG servers for now.
UPD. Try to download LG Mobile Support Tool from here:
http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe
Then install it and open.
THE PHONE HAVE TO BE UNPLUGGED FROM PC!
Now press "Install USB driver" - choose your phone model - it will install required drivers, you'll need to agree with installations and maybe run files from some opened archives. (IDK why, but I had to)
When all installations are done, change in the phone: Settings - Connect to PC - change to LG software mode.
Now plug the phone in. It will install drivers and detect the phone.
Now in LG Mobile Support Tool press Options - Upgrade recovery.
It will download kdz file for your phone and fully reflash your phone.
To get kdz and not to reflash the phone you can click "Upgrade recovery" and unplug the phone. It will download kdz for your phone and ask what to do.
Minimize the window and go to to C:/ProgramData/LGMOBILEAX/Phone/
Here is your kdz!
I've got D41010C_00.kdz
And also I backuped all the partitions, including system.img using adb commands.
So if anyone wants to get them - say where I can upload them.
P.S. The system.img is slightly edited: root, busybox, sdfix.
i want to try D410 kdz...!

DO NOT RUN THIS ON THE G2X! The partition layout is different, doing so will do bad things to your device. I will release a G2X compatible version when I am back online in a week's time!
For the past couple of days I have been working on creating a ClockworkMod recovery image for the LG Optimus 2X. I'm pleased to announce that the first full release is available!
Some points to note - READ THESE CAREFULLY!
Use at your own risk! I have successfully used the backup and restore functionality (nandroid), and am currently testing other functions.
If you manage to break your device completely, this ROM should get you back up and running.
Download
I have packaged the recovery itself and the installation system together in one download zip.
3.0.1.4 r1 DOWNLOAD (ROMraid Load Balancing) - MD5: 7145b425f95a87dc5bde29ac4eba48ff
Installation automatically on your device
NEW: If your device is rooted, my 99p 2X Recovery Boot app (mentioned below) can now flash the recovery image for you the first time you run the app and on subsequent version updates!
Installation on Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the zip file above and extract to a directory
- Connect your device and ensure 'USB debugging' is enabled
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-clockworkmod-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-clockworkmod-mac.sh' followed by './install-clockworkmod-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-clockworkmod-linux.sh' followed by './install-clockworkmod-linux.sh'
If you wish, you can also manually install the recovery by pushing the clockworkmod.img file to /data/local/ with adb and running 'dd if=/data/local/clockworkmod.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7' from a root shell.
Launching Recovery
To boot ClockworkMod Recovery, either:
Turn the device on while holding the volume down and power buttons until recovery loads
Download the OPTIONAL 99p 'LG 2X Recovery Boot' application from the Android Market (NOTE: This app is completely optional - if you do use it, thanks for your support!)
Source / Updates
I'll be posting the device profile and source changes on my GitHub shortly, and will issue fixes / new Betas as required.
Enjoy!

Hi Paul... first of all - Great job here
Second - if one can't get root access via SuperOneClick, like myself, is this still usable?

Great job paul
THANKS! Installing now
Update:
If you get error in windows just change adb-windows.exe to adb.exe
First, thank you very much, Paul. Great job!
Two questions.
1) This method overwrites the standard recovery on the phone, correct?
2) To revert back to standard recovery, one have to flash the whole phone using nvflash, correct?

Okay. Thanks.
Im just curious, who supplies the NVFlash archive? And is the standard recovery image supplied by Nvidia or LG? Since it is part of the NVFlash archive.
Found out why i can get no root access... i got no adb access at all.
First time pluggin in phone after install of LG drivers, it says that the adb interface thingy can't install.
This also causes that i can't install CWM.
Any suggestions as to what is wrong?
Thank you, Paul!
Successful nandroid backup I will try to make a custom rom.
Paul its was a good idea to let clockworkmod make backup to external sd because its not possible to mount usb storage in recovery menu yet.

Nice tool, I'll test it as soon as I'll be home.
Edit: Your toolkit works like a charm. This is the easiest way to flash kernels/recoveries I've ever used.
Doesn't work: unknown compression method in winrar,winzip and standard windows extraction program!

I tried to install the Prometheus kernel too now. It wrote Writing Successful but when the phone tries to boot it's stuck at the white HTC screen with the red text (This build is for development purposes only ...). What should I do?
EDIT: I tried to restore to a previous backup, I tried to install a custom ROM I had on my SD Card, none of that worked.

But thats working with my phone......
I tried installing Prometheus Kernel and it was successful....
Try installing the kernel manually.
1. Switch Off your phone and then boot into fastboot mode.
2. Connect your phone to the computer.
3. Open a command prompt in the "tools" folder.
4. Run the following command
"fastboot flash boot boot.img" (without quotes)
5. restart your phone with this command
"fastboot restart"
Tell me whether that worked or not.
Taking the case of the backup or flashing the ROM which recovery did you flashed???
I would recommend you to flash the CWM 6.0.3.0 TOUCH recovery which doesn't till now has a bug.
For this repeat the steps in this post and instead of step 4 just run the following command:
"fastboot flash recovery recovery_touch_6_0_3_0.img"
Then try to flash the ROM.
If it says "Install from sdcard failed" or something like that then retry downloading the ROM.
If nothing works then try FLASHING STOCK ROM...
Edit: How can a restore fail ? What error does it show? Did you change the recovery? Are the recoveries different i.e. the one with which you backed up and the one which you are trying to restore????

Procedure
Follow all steps described by @social-design-concepts on his updated thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096
Advice/FAQ for Acer Tab Device : :
You should use the CWM recovery and the T4 exploit
TWRP boots, but no touch available
CWM runs fine, but cannot mount internal storage or /data, you MUST use an external SDCard
Flashing SuperSU and Installing Xposed Framework for LP is working great on B1-820 !

Thanks a lot. Successfully rooted my tablet.
One question. After rooting I rebooted into recovery. The stock recovery booted up. Is there a way to keep the CWM recovery flashed during the rooting process?

We can't flash it for now

We need to unlock the tab to be able to flash something

Great Guide!
Unfortunately it doesn't work with the very similar A1-840HD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56580827&postcount=2158
Hi there,
How did you guys manage to install the MTP device drivers (the one that pops up in Device Manager when you enable the USB debbugging)? I´m on a Windows 7 (32 bits) and the folder we are instructed to download and unzip apparently does not contain the required files/driver.
Any help is appreciated as I can´t manage to pass that initial point.
Thanks in advance,
Mix
EDIT: I eventually got it to install correctly by using the USB Driver package from Acer:
http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...ep3=A1-840FHD&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=EMEA_27
I used the option in the toolkit which installs the drivers. If I remember correctly once you run the .bat file and ACCEPT you are given this option. I used 32 bit version of Win 7 as well.
Sent from my A1-840FHD using XDA Free mobile app
Works on A1 830
I just got the Acer Iconia A1-840FHD from a BestBuy and I want root access.
PLEASE somebody find out how!
I am hoping to get Linux up and running to run WINE on it since it is x86 architecture from being Intel.
Edit:Why did they make the name so similar?
I have the "rootable" FHD and yet there is an HD as well.
I hope rooting still works.
Then again,according to the manufacturing date,they have barely been out.

Did you try this guide?
I'm not sure I understand your post and what you want to do.
My product and safety information booklet says FHD on it despite mine only having 1GB of RAM.
Is there a root method working on the A1-840HD?
I may try Kingo since they still get updates and just added an exploit for Nexus Android 4.4.4 as well.
I hope it has support for this device.
Is there any way to step back and put everything as it was without root?
For any reason if we need to send the device to the warranty, this should be like original system state.

Well... I don`t have this tablet but think of buying one and I think that this could be done.
CWM has backup feature so I think that you could try backup current ROM and after you did that then root your device and if the problem pops you load CWM again and then restore original state.
If you already rooted then I think that someone that hasn`t rooted the device could make backup of ROM and upload it somewhere on the Internet.
Here is a full UPDATE zip ROM for A1-840 only (not compatible with A1-840FHD), flashable via stock Recovery in case something get wrong with /system

It means that my image is older than yours (which make sense, it's not the latest firmware)
But I think you can get some file from it and make your tab working fine again.
If it doesn't work, you can try to full flash the update zip to "downgrade" to a stable version (and then, you should get some OTA updates to get back to the latest version)
Here is some OTA manual download if needed :

Hi, thanks for the image. Custom recovery fails for me:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.model") == "A1-840"
Error in /cache/sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried to find some solution, removed the assert line from the updater script and then custom recovery failed the flash because it couldn't verify whole-file signature. I assume the reason for this is because I modified the updater script within update.zip.
Should the assert line specify "A1-840FHD" as the model? Is this why the first error happens?
I'm trying to flash stock and unroot because, sadly, I think I need to send the device back. Having lots of trouble with the touchscreen.

Hi, same error here.
After flashing in stock recovery give me the assert failed error.
Its secure to flash the OTA files? I'm curious if they send me the same error that the update.zip. I'm afraid to brick the tab .
You're right guys
I didn't tried thoses firmware ZIP and it seems it's for A1-840 (HD) and not for A1-840FHD...
So, I will move the download link (rename the folder).
Sorry for the inconvenience
but, @borisgregoris you can still try to push file that are missing for your camera issue.
I will try to upload a full "/system" pull of my tab this weekend, this will not be flashable, but you will have all system files from my A1-840FHD.

I've already copy the missing files to my \system but only in the \app folder. Unfortunately still without camera.
I'm afraid to make things worse.
I don't know if it's secure to make a copy of all your \system structure (without overwriting my files and copying only the missing ones).

ARE YOU SEARCHING TO ROOT YOUR REDMI 2 ?
DISCLAIMER:DO THIS ON YOUR OWN. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOU AND YOUR DEVICE.PLEASE DONOT MIRROR THE LINKS
CLICK HERE FOR NATIVE ROOT
IF YOU ARE GETTING STOCK RECOVERY EVEN AFTER FLASHIN CWM, SEE THIS POST
STEP 1- FLASHING CWM ON YOUR PHONE
1.At first, you'll need the "adb" and "fastboot" tools. Get them HERE
2.Extract them into a folder, let's name it "Redmi2" (You can give your own name to the folder. That doesn't matter here.)
3.Now get the CWM .img file from HERE
You can use Philz Touch recovery also. Get HERE
4.Rename cwm.img or philz.img you downloaded above and as "recovery.img" and place it in the Redmi2 folder.
Now the folder will look like this-
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5.Press and hold "shift" button and right click in the blank area of the folder and click on "open command promt window here". The command prompt will open.
6.Now turn off your Redmi2. Wait until it vibrates. After it's vibrated press and hold "Volume down and Power" keys together until it boots into "fastboot mode". Now connect the Redmi2 to your PC/Laptop through USB cable in fastboot mode itself.
7.Get to the command prompt now.
Now type: " fastboot devices " (without these- " " )
Like this-
8.Once you enter that command, you will get a non-empty name for the device meaning the device is connected. Proceed to enter the next command
9.Now enter the next command: " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img "
Like this-
10. Now this ends...
Type the last command: " fastboot reboot "
Like this-
11.Now your phone will reboot with ClockWorkMod(CWM) installed. CHEERS...
STEP 2- ROOTING YOUR PHONE
1. Firstly get the SuperSU.zip from HERE
2. Now copy the downloaded zip to your sdcard (not in any folder just in sdcard)
3. Boot into CWM recovery by turning off the phone and pressing "Volume UP and Power" button together after the phone vibrates.
4. Once CWM main menu is displayed, select "Install from zip" and browse to the zip that you downloaded earlier and select it.
5. Install the zip. If you get any warning, ignore and proceed.
6. After the installation is complete, reboot your device. (I think you can do that)
7. VOILA..!!! YOU ROOTED YOUR REDMI2

get "Flashify" app from playstore and first take backup of stock recovery and then flash the cwm with it. Thats it..
Actually I didn't knew this method before i made this guide..
Anyway, fastboot gives us a different feel, doesn't it? :v
wait I don't know flashify but it looks it needs root to flash the recovery ... but I think I need cwm to root ... so I think this is not gonna work ...
Ok got it, this may be useful to anybody face the issue with recovery:
I discovered you can workaround the issue in this way:
Temporary boot into CWM:
HTML:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Root the device using CWM
Flash CWM using flashify
[ CWM when you log out ask you for root so maybe it is not necessary to use the zip file ( but I'm not very expert so maybe I'm wrong)]
You can install GAPPS with CWM `gapps-kk-20140606-signed .zip` but be careful, whenever you update MIUI you will look all software installed using CWM. ( superSu and GAPPS for example )

thanks!

Okay bro :good:
I'll update the OP
I confirm #postadelmaga the CWM recovery does not stay, the only way to do access it is the fastboot boot recovery.img Here's how I succeeded with two phones now.
power on, start wifi, do Miui updates
install ADB or the files above on PC
reboot to fastboot with voldown+pwr
now comes fastboot boot recovery.img
in CWM, sideload SuperSu and Gapps
connect you preferred VPN (if in China)
install and update all Google apps needed
delete most Chinese apps

Hello people,
This is for Mi Note Pro (leo)

A lot of people ask how to gain root on the Mi Note Pro without actually searching the posts so I decided to make a quick tutorial on how to do it. This is the way I have done it and I have found it to be the easiest way!
1st Method (THE EASIEST AND SAFEST!)
1. Go to http://en.miui.com/download-273.html and download the Developer ROM
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. If you have downloaded the file through your phone it will be in the Download folder, if not plug your phone into the PC and move the .zip file over to your device.
3. Open Updater app, tap on 3 dots to open the menu and tap on Choose update package
4. Navigate to where you have put in the zip file and click on it and let the phone update. (This will wipe all your data apart from pictures etc.)
5. Once it has loaded go through the setup. Open Security app > Permissions > Root Access.. There you are all done
Make sure you open an app that requires root access first before going to Security app as it will not show up on there.
2nd Method (Advanced Users!)(Temporary TWRP Recovery)
Requirements:
fastboot driver (Link attached)
twrp.img - https://mega.nz/#!nR0jHZqL!2cksl ... 5H76ut8UVtnu97HHAEo
supersu - https://download.chainfire.eu/740/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip
common sense
mi note pro!
1. First of all download all the things you need. Which are fastboot driver, twrp and supersu. All links are above ^ Copy SuperSu over to your device and keep other files on your PC
2. Power off your device and turn it back on by holding Power button and Volume Down at the same time. This will get you into fastboot menu.
3. Woohoo great now what you will have to do is plug your phone to your PC using a usb cable.
4. Open up the Command Promt and navigate to the location of your fastboot driver. Mine is C:/adb so I would type cd C:/adb in the command promt
5. Now type in fastboot devices just to make sure that your device is listed correctly.
6. Extract the TWRP zip so you have just the .img file. Place it inside same folder as fastboot. I tend to rename it to twrp.img (makes lifes easier)
7. Type fastboot boot twrp.img
8. Now your phone should boot into TWRP!! Go to install and flash the SuperSU zip.
9. Reboot and you are all rooted with Stock Recovery and Stable ROM!
3rd Method (Advanced Users!)(Permanent TWRP Recovery)
Requirements:
fastboot driver
twrp.img - https://mega.nz/#!nR0jHZqL!2ckslQxV-ODWnswRYpfDCp2M5H76ut8UVtnu97HHAEo
supersu - https://download.chainfire.eu/740/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip

7. Type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
8. Now your phone should boot into TWRP!! Go to install and flash the SuperSU zip.
9. Reboot and you are all rooted with TWRP recovery, the only problem is that your OTA updates will break. You can flash them manually, when Updater downloads an update go into TWRP>Install and navigate to downloaded_rom folder
In case you need to go back to stock Recovery because you have flashed TWRP Permanently please follow instructions on this thread.http://en.miui.com/thread-124319-1-1.html
GREAT! EASY!

Well their Root Access works a bit different to SuperSU instead of popping up with a box promting you to give root access what you have to do is open the app the requires root access, do an action that needs root access then you go to Security > Premissions > Root Access and you have to grant it then.
Is only way to root to do a full wipe?
Can we still do normal updates after installing this developer rom?
Yup you get newest weekly updates and they work perfectly fine! I'm on 5.7.2 currently
Updated.
Is it equally safe to flash the latest 1.0.0 supersu from chainfire? Is there any compatibility constraints? or are all version compatible with all devices? thanks for shedding some light into this
Can you use Flashify and install twrp and supersu or is supersu not needed using method 1? ?

Super su is not needed using method 1 as they use their own root manager.

Problem with Method 1
Hi People /Mr. Kahun ,
I'm absolutely new but i would like to root my :
Mi Note Pro
