Hi.

I want to root my Optimus G running on 4.1.2. I tried searching the forum, which ultimately took me to a Chinese forum. Unfortunately Google Translate was unable to help me. Can some one please help me root the phone??

I can confirm that 10B EU is still unrootable. I've been trying for a few days.

I have tried this on HongKong V10b and Singapore (STL) V10c.
Unfortunately, it cannot root my E975.

It works on HongKong V10a and Singapore (StarHub)V10d.
But these two firmwares both have MTP copy problem(interrupt when copying large number of files from Phone to Windows Desktop).
This problem really drives mad.:eek:

For rooting the E97510B you must use the ZV9-ZVB-Root.zip, can find it in the LG optimis G forum "Root LG Optimus G E975 [GUIDE]",
but you must chance/edit the CurrentRoot.bat file

Copy this line
adb shell "echo -en \\x0d > /sdcard/G_security"
And overwrite this line.
adb shell touch /sdcard/G_security
in the batch file CurrentRoot.bat

Worked on my Orange Romania E975 v10c.
Now, is there a way to have CWM recovery on this ?
thanks.

It worked on my G e975 10bEU. I got adbwinApi.dll error, so I executed the root without adminstrator privileges and it Workd. Thanks !

Strange I do not have the line in question to replace !!
I have been trying to root for 3 days and no luck. Constantly get "failed to copy this and that..." because of "read only file system"
have given up at this point so will have to pass on the custom roms for now,
Funny part is that I rooted no problem a couple of weeks ago but had to reset after a near brick experience !!!
