So this work for the E973 on latest stock firmware...? e973H ..?

Be careful, this root is for "[Tutorial] F180 the series 4.1Root method"

That's the title of the other forums.. So this might not WORK!

Do you, or anyone, know if freegee will work on latest firmware if rooted using this method?

Thanks

I just tried FreeGee and its a no go.

I want to root this thing soooo bad!! But I want to have a backup of the official JB update, and I don't want something to prevent me from installing it via OTA. I'm curious to see what lg will do with jb. I'm really liking the stock ICS experience on this phone, and I think they'll just kill it (in a good way) with jb!

I really would have posted this much sooner, however, this particular method was being kept secret with the intention of the exploit still being available upon US Jelly Bean release. Since this has been outed, and is now public, i will share a more proper script of the same method. I actually kept the adb shell id command, as it is pretty useful for this operation.

Main differences in my script is that you don't need to ever disconnect your phone.

1. Unzip the zip file
2. Make sure USB Debugging is on, and your are in Charge only Mode
3. Run the CurrentRoot.bat, wait for the prompt
4. Change to MTP mode.
5. Wait for your computer to ask how to view files.
6. Press enter in the CMD prompt to continue.
7. Done.

This is a fully working method for the most current US/Canadian releases, and Jelly Bean releases. BTW, the current release does not install busybox correctly, includes SuperuserPro.apk (which I'm sure wasn't purchased by everyone downloading this). Also I have updated it to the latest busybox, su binary's, and Superuser.apk available.

I can't thank you enough.... I got my Optimus G in Dec. and I immediately found root method and was completely content with my new phone. Then came the dreaded OTA update that I knew would remove root. I avoided the update with determination. I shouldn't have let my goofy sister touch my phone... After our got it back from her I realized I wasn't receiving the update reminders. I panicked, checked root, root was lost! :crying: I began searching everywhere only to find that there was no root for zv9....For weeks it was the same. Then yesterday I found your method, fired up my laptop and within 5 minutes my LGOG ZV9 on Sprint was rooted again! Thanks again. I can't tell you how much I rely on my free wifi tether.

I re-rooted my LGOG after the OTA update to ZV9 robbed me of my original root. It only took about five minutes and worked flawlessly. Well tonight I tried to root my girlfriends phone (also a LGOG running ZV9 on the Sprint network) and although it ran through the process just as mine did, as well as stated root was successful, when I run root check to confirm it comes back negative. What am I doing wrong? Any ideas? Thanks

Every time I run CurrentRoot.bat I receive the error " 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" after every step.

Im on Telus running E97310g

confirmed working on LG E975 Singapore version

wargreymon89 · Feb 19, 2013

Afraid LG did something, cant get it to root.
I have an E975 with 4.1.2, software version E97510a-525-05.

I won it in LGs test pilot contest so not sure if its something they did to this or if they plugged the hole completely for the future also.
The guy I spoke to said something about them being flashed as we spoke, and it looked like the phone could have been taken from the box.

Should I wait and hope they send a update after the contest is over or can I use a KDZ and if so, what KDZ can I use to maintain same radio bands?

EDIT: Tried the LG sMobile Support tool and it said it found an update. So now its downloading that *holds thumbs*

EDIT2: Updated to E97510B and still no go, guess they did something to the euro version...

cant root

hi, i tried the CurrentRoot.bat and followed the instructions but couldn't root. it said phone now rooted and restarted the phone but there was no superuser after that

i saved a screenshot of it incase anyone can figure out whats wrong. just got the phone yesterday.... Best phone i've ever used.(from starhub singapore if it helps)

i think its because of the uid and gid not being zero. any ideas??

does NOT work on all E975 OG, mine didn't root

NickereN2O · Mar 22, 2013

Awesome! Worked perfect on my E975 10b - europe edition :good:

vwasi · Apr 16, 2013

No root for my E750 v10D. Instead since my root atempt can't get iGO Primo 2.0 to work again. The phone closes apk with no error message. I have been trying diferent versions, factory reset still no luck.
How can I reflash firmware again since LG support tool says I have the latest version?
L.E. Done with the reflash and iGO primo works again...
