LG G Flex 2 Rooted!

[zedomax]

Thanks to Korean user and XDA user Unjustified Dev, we now have root for LG G Flex 2!

I've just verified it works flawless on my Korean LG G Flex 2 (and should work on all U.S./international variants), here's a video tutorial also while at it:

Just use SuperSU to unroot:

Root works

Just rooted my LG G Flex 2 (LG-H955) using this method, worked perfectly. This phone is unable to have the battery removed so hold "Vol+, Power and Vol-" (simultaneously) to reboot the device when in Download Mode.

Does anyone know if root will work with latest update from Sprint?

 

[LAMPEY]

didn't see deflate commands come up

Great guide. I saw able to follow up to the last step when I was not getting the inflating messages. It looks like the attachment. Was there anything with the syntax that I messed up with this command? Is there an additional command I can run to get the inflating commands to come up?

Thanks!

Update, the phone is stuck on the LG logo and did not startup all the way
