Root KitKat LG G Pro or Any Device W/ TowelRoot

Its real folks, hacker Geohot created an apk file that claims to root any android device. I have personal tried this with my LG G Pro AT&T on KitKat 4.4.2 KOT49l.E98020g and I'm now rooted. Links Below

The method found on this form below allowed me to install clockwork mod recovery onto my device. From there I was able to download FreeGee from the play store to install Twrp Recovery.

Lets Make it Rain

Just did it on my E980. Installed Chainfire 1.99 for SuperUser, and then tried Titanium Backup to verify root. Everything is GOOD!

only issue was some confusion as to where the SU apk was stored. Roundly found it, and everything went smoothly!!!

When you've installed that recovery, download Freegee from the Play Store and install CWM 6.0.4.7. It can also backup your EFS partition.

WOWZERS!

Crap that was easy. Anybody seeing a difference in battery life? Heard it is diminished with root.

raminmo · Aug 23, 2014

worked like a charm

if you want to install cwm , first install GPRO_Recovery_6.0.4.4
then use freegee tool

Has anyone tried this with e98020h. My phone forced the update when i wasnt paying attention and i had cwm installed which soft bricked my phone. I used lg flash tools to get back up and running but let it update to e98020h to check it out. Anywho i tried to root it with towelroot and softbricked the phone again. Just wondering if it was a hickup and if anyone can confirm towelroot doesnt work with e98020h.

got a small OTA package yesterday (about 89Mb). I unroot my phone and download the OTA. LG said the update package includes apps updates. After I've installed the update, I didn't see much difference (apart from the fact the the home launcher seems to be more fluid). But when i tried to root my phone using TowelRoot, it failed.

... so, please beware. if u don't want to loose your root, don't install the latest OTA update.

- Download G Pro Recovery and Freegee.
- Open G Pro Recovery and select the 'Flash Recovery' option at the of the menu.
- Then open Freegee and choose your recovery. (Probably not a bad idea to take advantage of the EFS backup there and transfer that backup off the phone for emergency purposes.)

Towelroot -> G Pro Recovery -> Freegee == works for me every time.
