I have LG P880 with jelly bean v20b EUR-xxx, i have tried every rooting method i could find and nothing works, i have all possible drivers i could find, my phone is ok and so is my usb cable, my phone simply isn't responding to anything i try.
I probably could downgrade and root, but i want root to jump into custom rom world, so thats not what i want to do.
if anyone could help me that would be great.
PS my only android experience is with sony ericsson x10i and rooting, unlocking bootloader and installing custom roms with it was way different.

In that case your ADB, your PC drivers or your phone are not set up correctly. Make sure you're not using a USB 3 port, deinstall and reinstall the drivers, re-download ADB and check that. See if ADB can see your device when it's plugged in ...
There are guides and instructions for all of this already.

First you root, than you unlock the bootloader.
Yeah, unlocking the bootloader isn't related to phone being rooted. Try this method, worked for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688

It depends on the recovery, but it works in TWRP.
It is the ROM that is rooted, so if you sideload a non-rooted ROM and flash it, you will lose root. It seems you don't have a working ROM, so you don't "have" root.

Let me correct you. You had a custom ROM that was rooted.
My suggestion is to fix the problem.
I can't help you because:
1) I don't know what recovery you have
2) I don't know what tutorial you followed
3) I don't know in which way it is "not working"
I suggest you flash TWRP 2.6.3.4 and use adb sideload.

You need to get adb working on your PC or you could try what bored_stupid is suggesting. You are a long why from requiring supersu at this point.

You don't even have a working rom so why are you still talking about root??? You don't need root to use a usb otg cable to flash a rom.
Make sure you have the latest android sdk installed on your computer and latest htc drivers.

It is problem globally! Google is experiencing major error with sync servers.
or try this: go to accounts.google.com and in security (left panel) go to the list of 3rd party applications that are using your Google credentials and start revoking the applications that you no longer use.

Hello everyone,
I would like to know how to convert a non-installable system apk (/system/app/*.apk) into a normally installable apk file.
If there are some needed tools please provide links as this will help me very much doing what I'm planning to do after my exams.
Thanks in advance

Convert file System Apks to installable once, I think is not that simple and I hope someone know how to do that. Otherwise is simpler install recovery and flash them. Sorry to not help much more.

That's exactly what I was thinking about.
But lets get back to the topic, How to make the system apk installable? (I know that some apks in /system/app are installable, but I'm talking about the non-installable ones)

This part is not clear to me. If I installing the Recovery on non rooted device, how the recovery will root it at the same time? I will still have recovery without root.
Option 3 > installation on unrooted ROM.

Because the installation script can gain a temporary root shell
It uses that to install the dual recovery
then its as simple as flashing SuperSU.zip or a pre rooted rom to gain "Full" root.

Flash the system image from a factory image. If your kernel is modified, flash the boot IMG as well.
Use wugs toolkit.

So just to get this straight and I don't screw up my phone. I find the stock rom same version as my chroma which is LMY48B. I extract it and using fastboot I install system.img and boot.img? My phone is unencrypted right now... Will it get encrypted?
And when I need root again I must just install it along with Franco Kernel I'm using?
I appreciate the help...

I installed it on my laptop but even though my phone is rooted I don't see an option to unroot... Maybe because I didn't use regular rom and used chroma instead?

First, why are you trying to unroot?
You would download a factory image form the Google developer page. Extract twice, and grab the system image from there. Yes, match the version your phone is currently on.

Have you considered multi ROM? You could have your rooted normal set up and a non rooted as well.
Can't you just go into supersu settings and unroot? That way you can stay on chroma

Depends on how deeply his situation is looking for root files. The unroot feature of SuperSU doesn't remove everything.

How about the encryption? Chroma is unencrypted. If the second rom is encrypted what happens there?
I'm also trying to find a stock rom that is not pre-rooted to install from recovery. Can you show me the latest I can get?

My friend I installed multirom and used an older Chroma rom that wasn't pre-rooted. it worked like a charm.... Now I can just go to this rom and use all my apps that require the phone to be unrooted.... Again thanks for the idea....
Can I just ask what version of chroma wasn't pre rooted? I want to do the same if possible. Thanks

well, 2 months ago it was being called older.. anyways, the far majority of roms do not have root. you need to flash the supersu file shen flashing the roms, for root. but, to flash a rom, yoh need an unlocked bootloader and twrp recovery. most apps that check for root will still think that you have root though.

i must have fell asleep during this development lol
far as i have ever seen, its rare for a rom to not be rooted, however, more frequently devs have had it off by default, and its a treasure hunt to find where to turn it on.
i do always flash the su zip, to avoid this tedious hunting though.

yup I found that most are pre-rooted, though found cleancore that works great. I've just installed multirom and that booted into it then tested a couple of apps that are blocked on root (Banking app and Sky Go), and happy days they work great.
Its annoying and rather wasteful having have a second rom just to run a couple of apps but at least now I can use the apps on my device if I want to. Thanks
Typical apps block hacking (root) so the work around instead of unrooting is to go deeper with the hacks/mods
Is there a way to root without a computer?
if you've got custom recovery already installed then you can root via system-less root.

Then unfortunately you won't be able to root without a computer.
At the very least, you have to have a custom recovery installed in order to root, but that needs to be flashed with ODIN. Once you have the custom recovery, you can then flash systemless root or a root kernel.
I might be incorrect in saying this, but I think a custom recovery requires a custom kernel as well.
