Hi Guys,

Some people know me here but for the others, i look for new devices and try to find a way to root. I specified on devices, which are not had many devs, which works to find ways to get root and so i had around 5 Worldfirst roots from Asus to Acer and so on.
So, after 6 days of bricks, flashes, lot of time with the root scripts flooding around, i open the gate now!

The G4s had official 5.1.1 installed and probs to get root, since now.
This root is working on LG devices, which get "fail" on the send_command.exe or doesnt had SU installed after root session finished or doesnt boot after the root was done. So i think a lot of devices out there.
The problem with the new security is, that the diag port is not open. After many testings and time stoping i found the golden 9% after which the gate opens so that we could work with. :good:

on work

Lets try it out. I have also uploadet the kdz Firmware 10D if something goes wrong. Then sinple flash the kdz. No Data lost with the lg flash tool.

Lets start, driver, usb debugging...i think if someone want to root, he must know how to enable.
Deinstall LG Bridge and LG Air if installed!!!

1. Phone plug in with usb on usb port, usb debugging on, MTP
2. Unzip the rootworm.zip and click the rootworm script
3. G3 5.1.1 , LG H631 works without lg flash tool and is rootet now.

Some hard secured phones like the h735 had closed port. So with this devices we must use also LG FLash Tool 2014.

4. Open LG Flash Tool 2014
5. Choose kdz, smartphone (wm) and press normal flash (we dont flash,its only to open the port)
6. Now phone boot will direct try in Download Mode or reboot. On LG Flash tool run the line with the percents %
7. At around 5% the phone reach the Download Mode.
8. Now comes the trick, at 9% the port opens and then in green letters will stand COM X.
9. In this moment with the green COM X letters plug off the usb cable.
10.. Close LG Flash tool with Windows Task Manager. (The Flash progress bar and the flash tool direct).
11. Port is open and can connect again to pc and refresh the driver in device manager (yellow symbol)
12. shift right click in the zip an type SendCommand.exe \\.\COM(yourCOMport)
13. type 1 time ls, this will counter with fail. Then sh /data/local/tmp/rootworm.sh dummy 1 /data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /system/xbin/busybox

So, normaly thats it.

If i end my last University thesis, i will look for a twrp.

Have Fun!

Firmware G4s 10C (Phone see the firm as 10F) https://mega.nz/#F!tpMnWQpL!ay-B9yQ9mOi9DreRATpp_g

The more root options the better. Right now, we have to backup system, inject root, and flash a rooted_system.img back to phone. Seems like a lot of work.

However at least the option is there. I am looking forward to your findings.
Thank you very much. It was really a lot of work and debugging. Flashed many times to get the exact point were the port goes open without the flash procedure from flash tool.
Hope all goes well, was a lot of write work because lg used a lot of codes in the new phones and different Android versions.

LG Spirit H440n 5.0.1 latest version cannot be rooted with kingroot. Do you think I should give your method a try? Which kdz should I use? One of my own?

Edit: I think there has been some mistake and the command is "Send_Command.exe" and not "SendCommand.exe".

Alright. I did the LG FlashTool method with the COM 4 Green letters showing in phone and what I get is:

Code:
C:\Users\myusernamehere\Desktop\root>Send_Command.exe \\.\COM4 < rootworm
Author : blog.lvu.kr
SPECIAL COMMAND : ENTER, LEAVE

so what do i do after shift right click in the zip an type SendCommand.exe \\.\COM(yourCOMport) < rootworm tho? it just gives me like what i said earlier.. :crying:
Hi, i put a new script online with small changes. And also few point in the list. I was thinking that everybody do that but i read now that many people dont know the basics. Uninstall LG Air and LG Bridge. These tools take the com port. And for the fail devices i write the last point with the command. Some phones are su withous ls others not. So on the secure side, copy the line.

So, the best is you type now Push_File.exe \\.\COM6 busybox /system/xbin/busybox. Then the last command:
sh /data/local/tmp/rootworm.sh dummy 1 /data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /system/xbin/busybox

The other files must in data/local/tmp like always.

pretty sure i did it wrongly.. typed 'ls' and came out a long list of stuff.. after that did sh /data/local/tmp/rootworm.sh dummy 1 /data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /system/xbin/busybox but nothing happened..
