[TUTORIAL] ROOT LG Optimus L9 - EASY! (P760,P765,P768,P769)

[aristide1997]

Hello guys, since all of the tutorials I have seen on here are all complicated I decided to post the easiest method around. You don't even need to use any command prompt for this. The only problem is that this is chinese language, so you have to click the exact buttons.

1. Download this file: Link <--- HELP ME! OR http://goo.gl/U6Jwaf <--- Non ref
2. Install the software, using the installation buttons as you would on any other windows installation.
3. When you have installed it, you will see a green button, press it. Then connect your phone (JellyBean update would be best, i havent tried with ICS)
4. When the phone is connected the software will recognise the phone and the green button will show "ROOT", click on it.
5. The phone is going to be rooted in some seconds and the process is finished when it will show a tick on the software.
6. The phone will reboot.
7. When it is rebooted, go to google play and download super su.
8. Open super su and it will ask you to update the binaries, and you must click on update, and then normal.
9. A window in chinese will pop up on the phone, this is the screen that allows you to give root permissions to any app. You must click the button on the right.
10. You are done! Root process is complete!
11. This is the most important step. Leave a thanks! If you liked the tutorial, please show it to me!

Hi guys. I tried this method, it worked on my p778g with ICS (it was recognized as a p769), the only bad thing is the language, it's in chinese, but worked.

How to unroot?

To unroot you must use "[GUIDE] [UNBRICK][ROOT] FLASH Any LG Factory ROM (kdz) WITH OFFLINE FIX" Google it 'cause I can't post links.

Great! Now it works with ICS.

To get the language changed install SuperSU then use the Switch superuser app to uninstall it reboot reinstall and you wont be able to uninstall the chinese program except you WILL have SuperSU managing your root access

What do you mean add busybox? You can add busybodies from the app store

I wonder if this installs malware/spyware?

Seems too good to be true. Not sure about installing a Chinese language tool for one-click root when you're not really sure who the developer of the utility is and what it actually modifies besides root.

I have Wells Fargo bank app, Amazon and Play wallet on my P769. I think I'll wait a while before applying this

If you don't trust me and 50+ users on xda which have tried it then ok. But listen, it's been a week and my phone and computer are still the same and my paypal or bank account haven't been used. Your choiche man.

I've been looking into the root exe program with a hex editor. It contains some interesting stuff. It takes advantage of the /data/local/tmp folder. I have found that it created some files in /dev as well. So have you checked it out yet @Lelus? I should have used a sandbox, but to late now. It looks legit but not 100%

Good Tutorial! So far it Works Fine!

Thanks for the Great Tutorial! :good: Everything went smooth as the directions explained. My LG Optimus P-769 is rooted and loaded CWM recovery after I rooted! And it also went as fast as I could follow the steps! Good Job on The FIND! oh yeah the Super User app in Chinese is a bummer. But the bottom line about everything else "The dam phone is ROOTED!":laugh: lol TY

Nope, I haven not. It seems to be not as transparent as it perhaps should be , at least to me.

No problem. @GACKMAN, mind leaving a thanks?

It's a chinese program, ofcourse not everything is as legit as it could, but I've checked it and nothing seems to be wrong as far as I can see. So, is this the best method to root the L9?
