Hi Brahmnoor,

I am now having an E975 with Singapore (STL) V10c.
Having tried many methods and still cannot get it rooted.

So, can you please send your E975 root tool to my email?
Internel provider here has blocked many file hosting websites and I can't access mediafire these days.

My email is aeolianliu@gmail.com

Thanks and Best Regards!

Only 10a is rootable, the others have been blocked by LG so we have to wait for a new way to do it.
If you can find the KDZ for 10a you can downgrade and root.

I am on 10a now, if my device get rooted, will root be lost after upgrade to 10b?

Thanks.

Thanks.

The ZVB method in the Sprint forum works on 10b, so just use that if root didn't stick.

I´m on 10b software and have also tried the TUT in Sprint forum without luck? Did someone manage to root 10b?

You sure you are using the one named ZV9-ZVB-Root.zip?

Did you try any other method before so you maybe have an old G_security file laying on you sdcard?
Also in the script it says
adb shell "echo -en \\x0d > /sdcard/G_security"
And not
adb shell touch /sdcard/G_security

I Will look into it. Sounds possible.

Edit: Big thanks to wargreymon89. I did try one or two methods before trying the sprint one. It didn´t occur to me that I had this G_security file floating around and that it was "bad". All I had to do was delete this file and run the ZV9-ZVB-Root tool again, and...Viola!
Dunno what I should do without xda. Saved me a lot of trouble

I can confirm that this methode work for me with the E97510B EUR version on mine Optimus G F180L and after this I could install the BasebandL (for my F180L), each model had his own baseband file/tool.

I used first the Wipe tool, then the flash tool to install the E97510B then the root tool as above and the the baseband, everything work fine.

here is a quote:

Take a root guide? Yes, thats why we put them on the internet, to learn and to share.

But I tried before the fiddy619, but it didn't work for my on the E97510B version, maybe it work for the E97510A, I don't know.
But when you edit the file CurrentRoot.bat file and change the line "adb shell touch /sdcard/G_security to"
"adb shell "echo -en \\x0d > /sdcard/G_security" " and save the file and use it, then you can root a E975B version.

I believe that this made the trick.
I'm rooted now and have SuperSU installed.
