Start your device by pressing volume+ and power and hold it until the screen gets black. Release both buttons and press volume-
It works for me every time.

I too received the same message when I tried to root. Something had to do with att locking boot.img. Use a program called rootmaster to root my phone.

Sent from my LG-E980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I realize that this post is nearly one month old, but I rooted using Towelroot(only works if you haven't updated to the latest firmware from AT&T) mentioned above, and then used the method that chappatti found [here](http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52945705&postcount=1) to install the custom CWM.

Of course, if you want TWRP, you can always use FreeGee in the play store to install that easily.

Let me first thank the forum for helping me root my E98020g and for the files. Ok so all the info is here on the forum but not really in one place. i cant remember where exactly to find them so im a just put the instructions and files up for you and everyone else. hope this helps.

1. Use roottool.kitkat to root the device (unzip>>run the "startroot.bat" file thats in the folder>>and follow the instructions.)

2. After device is rooted and reboot place SuperSU, GPRO_Recovery and FreeGee apks on the device

3. Install SuperSU, GPRO_Recovery and FreeGee apks

4. Run the now installed app GPRO_Recovery and select "Flash Kitkat Recovery for G Pro". WHEN ITS DONE DONT REBOOT .

5. Now run the already installed app FreeGee and install CWM-6.0.4.7 or TWRP, when its done u can reboot to recovery to check.:good:
