Are you sure you have installed Android 4.0.3?
If you see Android Version 4.1.2 on Settings -> Device Info, you should look for another method to root
It's here in the forum, so just use search

to me, that message shows there is no file called "root" in that folder. check if it's really there. also, you gotta unlock your bootloader FIRST, THEN install CWM. don't mess up the order of things. rooting comes first though.
edit:
this is a way to root on ICS, not JB btw. it won't work on JB.
Do you know which thread to check for bootloader?
The device runs on Android 4.0.3 now. V10h.
update to jellybean 20a, then you can root it it/unlock bootloader/install CWM/install custom roms
previously, I was on android 4.1, bricked the phone, unbricked with lg flashtool, back to android 4.0.3
any idea how to unlock bootloader on 4.1 JB?
Way to complicated, if you ask me. At least on my 4.1.2, the little cat/echo procedure works.
After install the SystemBackupTest.apk...I cant run it, i get FC's when trying to open it from the drawer

Are you on LG Original 4.1.2? It did not work for me, either, on that OS Level. The simple adb sideload procedure with the original LG recovery worked, though.
Yeah ive successfully managed to get rooted with that method...:good:

Ehm, excuse me, but the SystemBackupTest download is a ZIP FILE, and i didn't see an apk file in there, so is there something else or is something wrong with my eyesight? Obviously android apps cannot be installed with ZIP files. Why doesn't anyone mention that?
I finished the procedure, all seems to be working ok. But the device takes about 10 times more time to go from boot to lock screen than before it was rooted. Any ideas?
It takes a full 3 minutes to complete boot and get to the lock screen, after root.
5 minuts pass and then:
Scanning media files, preparing storage
and then....
Scanning media files on SD card, preparing sd card
With both taken another 5 minutes.
Is this normal??

155UPDATE: Unfortunately I no longer own this handset so am unable to test it against newer firmwares. If you find that this method does not work on firmware newer than V10D, try downgrading first.
I would like to begin this post, by saying that I did not come up with this method, but wanted to get it written up as a proper thread as soon as possible for people to start enjoying root on their phones!
This method was tested successfully by me on an EU phone running V10D. I am not responsible for what you do to your device after reading this guide. You undertake any actions at your own risk!
If you want to thank someone, please thank qaz753 who posted the method for this here.
All files needed are attached, the guide below is for Windows, but Linux and Mac scripts are included in the zip. (If certain files are not permitted to be attached, MODs please excuse and PM me, and I will look into hosting them myself)
GUIDE
- Download, Unzip and Install the LG USB Driver.
- Download and extract the Root kit (o4xr.zip) to "C:\o4xr"
- Download and copy "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk" to your phone
- On your phone, go to "Settings -> Security" and make sure "Unknown Sources" is TICKED
- Go to "Settings -> Developer options" and make sure "USB debugging" is TICKED
- Install "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk"
- Open the "SystemBackupTest" app you just installed.
- Hold the power button and choose "Power off and restart".
- When you can see the lock screen, you may notice that the phone is running very slowly, this is normal.
- Connect your phone via USB to your computer.
- Make sure the phone is in "Charging Only" mode.
- Open a command prompt (may need admin privelages, right click, run as administrator)
- Type without quotes "cd C:\o4xr" and press enter.
- Type without quotes "root" and press enter.
- Wait while the script runs, and the phone will reboot automatically.
- You should then see the command prompt "C:\o4xr>".
- Uninstall the "SystemBackupTest" app on your phone. (Do NOT re-open it, or you will need to run the script again).
- On your phone, open up Google Play Store and search for "SuperSU".
- Update SuperSU then open it.
- Press OK to update the SU binary.
- You now have root and can safely restore the "Unknown Sources" and "USB debugging" settings back to how you had them!
The root kit and apk may contain other peoples work, I did a quick search to try and find the original sources but to no avail. If this is your work, please PM me and I will be more than happy to add your name to this post and give credit where its due.
HAVING ISSUES?
- Try disabling any Anti-Virus you have running
- Uninstall or disable any screen filters/adjusters
- You can safely re-enable and re-install the above once you have completed root
- If your device is really slow, make sure "USB Debugging" is ticked, then run in a command prompt:
REALLY SLOW AFTER ROOT?
- Remove the "SystemBackupTest" app, if you haven't already.
- On your phone, go to "Settings -> Developer options" and make sure "USB debugging" is TICKED
- Connect your phone via USB to your computer.
- Make sure the phone is in "Charging Only" mode.
- Open a command prompt (may need admin privelages, right click, run as administrator)
- Type without quotes "cd C:\o4xr" and press enter.
- Type without quotes "adb shell rm /data/local.prop" and press enter.
- Type without quotes "adb reboot" and press enter.
THANKS

3. you choose USB debugging on your 4X (Setting>Developer options>USB debugging)
4. Install and run the IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk
5. reboot manually(after reboot, 4x becomes very slow!)
6.connect 4x to PC and run the command prompt
cd c:\onxr -> root

end

I used the LG Mobile support tool to update my rooted phone. Even though it said it would wipe everything it didn't. I would recommend backing up just in case though.
It will unroot the phone, so you will need to follow the root guide again from scratch to regain root.
