Need help on rooting

I want to root my LG OP Black P970 running official stock ICS 4.0.4. Can anyone share me the steps by step process. As I know there is no specific button to load the bootloader in this model.

You can try unlock root.
To have CWM, you must flash a patched v20 using smart flash tool.
Please read N00bys guide.

Did you have Clockwork ROM Manager (CWM) installed from the Play Store or manually? I wonder if you had the most current version?

I downloaded the latest free version of Rom Manager from play

this is because actual recoveries are incompatible with ICS firmwares and will brick your device if you try to flash a recovery. you may try this mod to unlock the bootloader for getting a working recovery

[Q] A damage recovery

Hello Mini 2 users, I have a problem with the CWM Recovery 6.0.3.2 build 2.
Everytime I want to flash something (ROM, Script, MOD, a CWM upgrade, Google Apps..) I must reflash the CWM, because on the first time after an installation my device go on recovery bootloop. Do you have the same problem? How do you slove it?

It is Easy

You can solve it fashing again the recovery via ODIN, I made it many times and ever this problem was solved. the cause of this problem is the recovery rebooter.

Hmm..
Instead I found a solution into CWM's Recovery thread. Go there and see into last pages, there is a zip of CWM 6.0.3.3! Flash it by CWM and problem sloved!

Recovery Corrupted?

Do I went to upgrade my wife's G2 to a newer TWRP version. Instead of smartly doing this by flashing the new zip in twrp, I used JMZ's twrp app to flash the newer version. It said success and thought all was good.
When I return to recovery, it's just a black screen nothing loads. I rebooted and tried again. Same problem. Rebooted and tried flashing CWM through ROM manager. Same result - black recovery screen.
By now I've tried to access fastboot but fastboot doesn't recognize device (although ADB had no problem). I've attempted flashing the IMG file from the official TWRP app and also using the "dd" method on terminal Emulator.
I'm at a complete loss here. My guess is the recovery is corrupted and anything short of using KDZ or TOT method to return to stock and re-root is going to just keep frustrating me.
Thoughts?

yeah those twrp apps are more trouble than they are worth on the G2 at least.
I think there was a lollipop version of autorec floating around might have to google it
or you could try and pull the recovery.img out of one of blastgators zips and flash with dd then flash the zip in twrp

I dont understand one thing, can you boot the phone? It can turn on normally? Anyway about the recovery, have you tried with AutoRec.apk? Google for it and it should install some old version of TWRP then go and find 3.0xx bumped TWRP which is recommended in most of roms and flash it through the old one, after that reboot recovery and youll have the latest recovery

I dont think there is Lollipop version, I used same autorec.apk on Kitkat and Lollipop and it worked.

Yes the phone boots just fine. It's just the recovery that's been blasted. I'm gonna try the autorec you guys mentioned. I'll let you know how it goes.
When you say find a bumped version of TWRP, that is something different than the one on the official site right? Also, the version I found of autorec was the kitkat version. I believe I rooted her phone from Lollipop. Will this cause problems with running autorec? Moreover will it mess up my boot?

So tried autorec for the vs980. Unfortunately it can't find or install the Loki_tool. With that it closes the app. I've tried looking up info on the Loki tool, but I'm not finding anything that is being helpful.
I'm familiar with using the kdz method and might just do that and start fresh. Really wish I hadn't used that stupid twrp app now. I'll take any further suggestions that could save me from restoring stock.

Autorec works , it must. You have SuperSu? Go in supersu settings and uncheck something about 'name spaces' cant remember the whole thing. Then reboot, run autorec again.

I should have probably mentioned I'm on a custom rom already. Don't know if that's part of it.
I'm on RR MM 5.7.4 using built in root manager in the rom.

I'm also getting "boot certification verify" error on reboot when attempting to boot into recovery.

Oooh well thats something else... The only suggestion I can give you is to flash stock kdz (kk or lp) with lg flash tool and from there do what I said above...

Yeah figured as much. I might just leave her on stock honestly. She is a very light user of her phone. I only rooted and did custom recovery because her original software became corrupted and boot looped her.
Thanks for all of the help!

Tot method worked beautifully. Phones stock again on Lollipop - where it will stay.
Never using one of those recovery installing apps again! Nothing like wasting a few hours fixing a mistake.

Arent you in a wrong section then? Which guide you used for unlocking bootloader and flashing twrp? You cant use anything which is written for lg g2

Yeah unfortunately I'm unfamiliar with your phone and the rooting/unlocking process. I'd recommend seeking some assistance within the xolo a 500 forum. Sorry!

I have been unable to find a reliable/working method for installing TWRP on my LG G2 VS9803AA (5.0.2) - It appears AutoRec is no longer supported - and I have read too many horror stories (including the one posted here) about those TWRP installer apps. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
