Doesn't seem to be standalone app anymore. GUI seems to be integrated into gallery now (swipe from left and choose videos) , or alternatively as a qslide app. Funnily with multiple video apps you'll have to choose default again when you click on link from gallery.

Their mantra simple is smart, obviously does not apply here.

I guess I will stop my search and stop downloading ROMS and trying those apks that I really miss :D

Thank you much for your reply! I'll start getting use to using the QSlide feature to access my videos cos I hate using the standard gallery app.. it sucks! I've been using "Quickpic" for years.. so... that's also another way to access my music videos cos it also creates a video folder in it's app :)

I own LG G3 and people recommend to use it but how to unroot without reflashing the whole rom please?

On Samsung phones after rooting I had SuperSu app, so after rooting and deleting all the bloatware and Adblock, I could easyli Unroot by
going into settings in SuperSu and clicking Fully Unroot.

Is it possible with IOroot?

I need to unroot to get my bloody Barclays app to work.....

Cheers

Hi guy's

I just got my G3 yesterday and I want to root it but it's still currently on 4.4.2. Do you think it's worth just waiting for 4.4.4 and then rooting?

Does this unlock the bootloader too or is it just root?

This only roots the device the boot loader remains locked.

So again, can I unroot this method by installing SuperSu and uninstalling the root from there, please?

Sorry for asking a nob question. After I click on full uproot in the app, does it means I am no longer rooted even after I Reboot? And I would need to go through the entire process to root my phone again?

Guys, this is a thread on IOroot and not any other method. So please, those you are discussing other rooting method can stop doing it here. Stay on topic, don't make a mess of this thread. Thread cleaned up, Thanks

which ioroot version? 25, 25r1 or just ioroot?
this issue was present in ioroot25/r1 but should have been fixed in the "ioroot" rls.

which windows version?

what is the full path of the directory ioroot.bat is running from?
in ioroot25/r1... the bat would close if the path contained a space in any of the directory names...

ex: C:\g2 root\ioroot

instead.. C:\g2root\ioroot would fix it. But again.. that should have been fixed in the newest release. :eek:

I used IORoot on my G2 a while back and I see things have changed. Am I right in saying that no Superuser app is installed? If this is the case, can super SU just be installed from the play store after the rooting process? Thanks :good:

    Now accepting donations to get my own LG G3 ;)

    How-to:

    Easy as 1-2-3!

    1 Run ioroot.bat, ioroot.sh, ioroot.tool or open command prompt/terminal, cd into /ioroot/bts/ and type;
    Code:
    adb reboot recovery
    jimV21P.jpg

    If you DO NOT have this menu in stock recovery IOroot will not work for you!


    2 Select "Apply update from ADB" w/power button. Sideload mode is now enabled.
    jU82VHA.jpg



    3 Continue with the script or manually sideload;
    Code:
    adb sideload datroot.zip
    DAT ROOT means JAILBREAK!
    zWp7Ksx.jpg


    Extended info and FAQ below...


    Download and extract the latest ioroot.zip... datroot.zip is inside /ioroot/bts/
    ioroot also jailbreaks other LG devices. Supported devices are found in the device list in this thread.
    Enable "USB Debugging" on phone. Accept RSA certificate to allow ADB access. Not accepting RSA will cause ADB device to show as "offline"
    Verizon users must also enable "Ethernet" for USB mode.

    Windows:
    Install drivers.
    Double-click on ioroot.bat

    Linux:
    Open terminal and cd into ioroot folder
    chmod +x ioroot.sh
    ./ioroot.sh

    Mac:
    Double-click the ioroot.tool file to launch script.
    May need to chmod +x ioroot.tool file first.


    FAQ
    Q: Will this jailbreak other LG devices?
    A: It will jailbreak any LG device which can be booted into stock recovery with menu. Confirmed devices are found in the device list in this thread.

    Q: Why do I see an android with a red x or just reboot when I try to get into recovery?
    A: Your device has a lame recovery and may have issues jailbreaking w/current IOroot 4.4.2. Use a cooler device or send me a LG G3 so I can work on a real phone.

    Q: Will this root non-LG devices?
    A: Probably not.

    Q: The script doesn't work for me, can you help?
    A: No, use terminal to manually enter the commands or ask for help in the thread.

    Q: I can't get 'adb devices' to see me phone, can you help?
    A: learn2android

    Q: Know any hip places to hang out and talk with other nice people about the LG G3?
    A: Check us out on IRC: #lg-g3 on Freenode

    Q: Which LG G3 do you have?
    A: I don't have one yet... you should send me one.

    IOroot was originally a Windows script to root the LG G2 on 4.2.2 [URL="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448887"]made by IOMonster[/URL].
    It was based on the original adb backdoor found by GiantPune and later [URL="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2169117"]posted by jcase[/URL].
    The script has grown to support various other LG devices on Android 4.0 - 4.4.2... 
    Supported devices include LG Optimus G, G2, G3, G Pro, G Pro 2, G Flex and G Pad just to name a few.

    guys.. my comment about sprint root was a joke to see how much interest there was in the root and see what kinda reactions there'd be.

    BUT.. some of the guys working on this need g3 devices... for root.. for unlock... for future exploits down the road...

    root for any unrooted G3's will come.. I can promise that. But.. it will most likely not be an update to ioroot specifically.. and I may not be the one to post...
    SO..
    the couple users who did donate for a future Sprint G3 root.. I will be refunding. But I do thank you for your enthusiasm. hold onto it and use it when root IS posted to ensure the G3 continues to see great work(moar r00t? moar unlox? moar hax? r0mz.. zzz). there is a great group of ppl poking at this.. but as i mentioned.. we all dont have G3's.. and some will have to buy out of pocket.. just for the sake of hacking and contributing to community. I think I've slept a total of 8 hrs the past 3 days(not complaining!).. trust me.. this is being looked at and worked on.

    keep your eyes on our twitters... @ tylerfixer (iomonster/thecubed/insertnamehere) .. @ teamandirc (jcase) .. i dont think shelnutt2 or beaups use twitter.. and me @ utoprime

    keep the assumptions to a minimum.. and please be patient(no not "months" patient)..

    and who knows.. maybe someone new will step up and surprise us all. :)

    tmo g3 root coming later tonight.

    sprint g3 root coming.. later.

    neither will be part of the ioroot name.


    update...
    i'm sorry. my bad for false hype. tmw(fri) is the day.

    Sir, thank you for work. Any chance to modify this script to root G3 international version?

    4.4.2 method should work for any G3 that can be booted into stock recovery. "adb reboot recovery" should take you to a stock recovery screen with a menu. If you get an Android figure with an error this 4.4.2 root will not work for you.

    Anyone with a G3 that is not a F400 please test IOroot25r1 on your phone and report if you can get into the stock recovery menu and if you can root your phone!
    LS990 is Sprint's G3, VS985 is Verizon's G3, D850 is AT&T's G3, D851 is T-Mobile's G3, D852 is Canada's G3, and D855 is International.

    I hate asking for ETA's because then there is a chance it won't be met. Its after 10pm my time so my day is over. Will check back tomorrow but certain won't be available.

    Sent from my LG-D851 using XDA Free mobile app

    asking for ETA's is completely out of the question considering no one is paying these guys to do jack ....

    It will release when it releases!!!!!!!!11 Until then I high suggest those with ants in their pants and no restraints on their mouth/fingers chill out and wait quietly and patiently!!!

    Badgering devs about releasing things tend to piss them off and feel unappreciated for the time they spend on this stuff. ;)
