[F240*]Root your G Pro Kitkat!

jarari2 · Mar 29, 2014

Manual root method for Optimus G Pro(F240*)!
I'm not sure about E99* devices, but it will work, if it has same AP.
Just double-click Run.bat and follow instructions, and you'll be rooted.

P.s don't post this on Korean site Devoloid, LG Deivce World. I already posted.

why recovery in this root is old ? how to update to latest ?

monsita · Apr 3, 2014

The Run.bat did not work for me because it kept saying adb.exe is not a command.
I solved opening a command window in the folder and following the run.bat commands manually.
worked perfectly

why recovery in this root is old ? how to update to latest ?

I rebooted in recovery after root, and I found the stock recovery again.
I assume this doesn't flash a custom recovery.

Just few questions: Will this root Optimus G Pro on KitKat only ?

I mean, if I didn't update and I were on 4.1.2, Could I use this root method to root my phone?

So if the answer at the previous question is a "yes" and since this root method is working on G pad and G2 too, Would it be possible to use this root method on G2 4.2.2 too ? Thanks.

Not sure about it, but both of them are possible, theoretically.
Any phone with system partition on /dev/.../msm_sdcc.1/... with stock recovery can use this tool.

To OP, help please?

I have an F420S Variant and its rooted 4.1.2 using this http://www.hkepc.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=1936283&extra=&page=1

Do you have any suggestion so that I can upgrade to Android Kitkat (Root)? Using your method?

Thanks!

Well this is root tool, so you should update your device first.
Use LG Mobile Suoport Tool.

Thanks for the reply, BTW, do I need to unroot and remove my custom recovery before I use the LG Mobile Support Tool?

No, you don't.
Just install it, connect your device with LG Software mode, and run update.

Note : updating your device will unroot it and custom recovery will be removed.

I am using F240K and just updated to 4.4.2.

I tried to use the tool to root my phone but the device was not found in the recovery mode. The phone can be detected when it is on.

I am using Windows XP.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

If you don't modify system partition, we can.

Did you select "apply update from adb" on recovery mode?

kstsang712 · Apr 14, 2014

Yes, I did. After I selecting ADB, the bat file tried to send the zip to my phone but then there is a message, device not found.

I installed the LG driver and the USB driver from SDK tools.

I can see that Windows found the phone from the device manager but it is not installed properly. I tried to update the driver by pointing to the INF file in the SDK usb driver folder but still no luck.

I can root my phone finally. I just used a Windows 7 PC and it works. I only have the LG USB driver installed.
