This is the second edit. Thanks to zanakorus33 for providing the tip for modification of the file. Since .bat is not allowed to attach, I put it up as text file.
The following method is applied to both international version (P760) and T-Mobile US version (P769).
Prerequisite:
You must install LG United Driver (simply change the phone USB mode to LG mode and install PC Suite).
You must enable USB debug mode (in developers option) and "unknown sources" (in security option).
[*]You MUST disable Lookout Security (menu->applications->downloaded) and clear its data.
Download and unpack Root and Restore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Are you ready? Here it goes:
Hook up your phone and choose USB LG mode.
Run Root and Restore->Runme.bat.
(7th edit Download attached modified RunMe_L9.txt, rename the extension to .bat, put the file to where the original "RunMe.bat" is, and run it as "administrator" (right click the .bat file, and run as Administrator).
You will be prompted to restore data. Look at the phone screen and choose "restore my data" when prompted. Press a key when restoration has finished.
The phone will reboot. Check the terminal window and check for "(are you rooted?)" error. If there's no error, check the phone to see "Android is updating". If so, the phone should be rooted.
Download and install busybox and SuperSU.
Done.
Happy Rooting! :victory:
First edit: uploaded modified script file (added pause command on running restore part. Press any button after the restore has finished on the phone). Change extension from .txt to .bat (you can review the whole script before renaming to examine). Put the modified file to where RunMe.bat is and run it.
Please give me feedback of this script file.
Thanks zanakorus33 for giving tips for modification
Fourth edit:
After rooting, install Voodoo Root Keeper so you can preserve root after update.

Alrighty. I went ahead thanks to your vote of confidence. It all worked out ok for me.
Can we add to the instructions:
1. Run the batch file as Administrator
2. When it asks for Encryption key, just press Restore.
3. This will work on 10E update.

Wait...I did unrooting (even it was not rooted) with "unlock root" prior of it. Perhaps this is a key.

Didn't work. Did you create a backup of your device before rooting?
Did you wipe the device before rooting?
Could you remove root by doing a restore and try the rooting process again? I must be missing something.
It is weird that neither of my 2 L9s will sync with PC Suite on any of my computers.
I wiped the phone several times today because the mode 2 screwed up the phone.
I just don't understand why I made it work. I can send a captured pic.

Wonder if I should try this out. I am also eager to root my phone to move data to SD card. Will do as soon as I get home.
Well it isnt working on my l9, wich rom u have i have debranded 10a, my phone acts strange while recovering it gets rebooted before the recover ends no idea why. Can u tell me step by step wat have u did ?

Try "unlock and root" with the same name software first (root with unlock and root and it won't go through, and then use the same software to unroot. After that, use the method on the first post and report.
Still the same, my phone reboot before recovery ends.

That is exactly what my P769 is doing. May be some T-Mobile customizations blocking this.
I just took both of my P769 devices back to the store because they were misbehaving. I have 2 fresh ones out of the box. They will not root!
Also, they will not sync with the LG PC Suite. I think there may be some issue with the stock firmware or the Suite software.
Mingkey, do you have an non-T-Mobile P769 by any chance?

I think the best solution is to install compatible clockworkmod, but ROM Manager craps out on me everytime I tried to use it, but if there's any chance (I am not a developer, sorry) to get a compatible clockworkmod, do this:
Go to ADB tools folder and copy the address to the folder in terminal window, and use the following command:
1. adb reboot recovery
2. fastboot flash recovery (clockworkmod image file)
Since there's no compatible recovery at this time, don't try.
I think there's something can be done with Unlock and Root. As I mentioned, try to root with this application and the phone should go to LG mode (or charge only). Of course it won't work, but you can use unroot with same program. After that, you can use Root with Restore and try again.
I only messed with these two root tools after the last time wipe.
Yes, the PC suite does not work for me either.

So am I to do it like this?
1.) Put phone in LG Software mode.
2.) Run root batch script and select "1".
3.) Press "Restore" on phone and it will reboot.
4.) After phone reboots press enter in the batch script window to finish script.
5.) Leave everything connected and make sure phone is still in LG Software mode.
6.) Run root batch script again and select "x".
7.) After phone reboots press enter in the batch script window to finish script.
8.) Leave everything connected and make sure phone is still in LG Software mode.
9.) Run root batch script one more time and select "1".
10.) Press "Restore" on phone and it will reboot.
11.) After phone reboots press enter in the batch script window to finish script.
Phone should be rooted now.
1.) Install superuser from market.
2.) Install busybox from market.
3.) Install rootchecker or terminal from market and check root status.
Is that it?

I used "unlock and root" first (and the phone was in LG mode and installed drivers prior of it) and ran root and unroot.
After that, I change the phone USB to charge only, disable Lookout (I suspect Lookout did something), and ran "Root and Restore/runme.bat). When I was prompted to restore data and use restore on the phone, and the phone rebooted.
The phone behaved differently and the console did not show "(are you rooted)" error and the phone updated itself.
I installed root explorer and updated supersu, and ran root explorer and I was asked to grant root access.
So far busybox and root explorer worked as it's supposed to be.

READ THIS GUIDE CAREFULLY SEE POST TWO FOR FAQ OR SEARCH THE THREAD.
Presenting the ONE AND ONLY surefire root method that backs up your RSA KEYS prior to rooting !!!!
Also I am aware that unrevoked has out their new tool. However while I was sitting in IRC, I saw many that it wasnt working for. So Until there is a surefire, easy method, I will keep this thread updated.

Disclaimer and well a little fun:
This has been tested on many phones and it worked fine...but if it breaks your **** dont come cry to me about it...you knew the risks! No one here is responsible if you break, brick, set fire, punch, smash, stab, destroy, your self, computer or your phone. The only person responsible is you! Just because it worked for me and others does not mean it will for you. Anytime you flash something its a risk.
Ladies and gentlemen... I've traveled over half our forum to be here tonight. I couldn't get away sooner because I had a POST coming in and I had to see about it. That phone is now rooted at and running well. I have two others comming in and this method has rooted many on the board. So, ladies and gentlemen... if I say my guide works you will agree. You have a great chance here, but bear in mind, you can lose it all if you're not careful.
Out of all methods that beg for a chance to root your phone, maybe one in twenty will work; the rest will be trolls-that's posters trying to get between you and the guide-to get some of the root action that ought by rights come to you. Even if you find one that has a simpler guide, and means to root, he'll maybe know nothing about helping. This is... the way that this works. This method is reliable like no other in this field and that's because its been tested and tested time and time again. I assure you, whatever the others promise to do, when it comes to the showdown, they won't be there...

Lets Get Rooted!
================================================== ====
Prerequsites:
Extract only the main zip file to a folder of your choice. I recommend the root of C:\ into a folder of your choice or on the desktop. Make sure you have the drivers installed for your phone (recommended: SDK Drivers or unrevoked hboot drivers) and USB debugging is on. This was setup for people running windows, if you have access to it do it on a 32bit version. I can't stress this enough you must use the adb.exe included with the package This is command line based do NOT double click the exe. Assume nothing, and cut and paste or type the commands EXACTLY as listed, they are case sensitive and each line is a seperate command. Oh and Read the FAQ and Warnings for f-sakes
1) Connect your phone to the computer (Rear USB Port Perferred) make sure the computer detects the phone (DO NOT MOUNT USB) If it doesnt install the drivers. Now master Reset your Phone (Menu>settings>Sd & Phone Storage>Factory Data Reset). Your phone will reboot. While your phone is rebooting it ctrl+alt+delete on your computer and open up task manager and click the processes tab look for anything that says adb.exe click it and hit end process.
2) Your phone should be booted and in the rom. You can skip the setup. On your phone enable install applications from unknown sources.(menu>settings>applications>unknown sources) and turn on usb debugging.
3) Open a command prompt (do NOT click adb.exe) and change to where ever you extracted the files to.
4)Type the following (this must be excuted from the folder you extracted to)
adb push root/unrevoked-forever.zip /sdcard/
adb push root/mtd-eng.img /sdcard/
adb push pc36img/PC36IMG-ENG.zip /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip
adb push pc36img/PC36IMG-MR.zip /sdcard/PC36IMG-MR.zip
adb push root/flash_image /data/local/
5) Now were gonna install z4root. When its done look at your phone z4root should be running. Select temporary root... It will go thru the process will eventually come to a white screen *Wait* after a sec or so screen will come up saying temp root was a success. Ok so now type the following
adb -d install -r root/z4root.apk
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.z4mod.z4root/com.z4mod.z4root.z4root
6) Your command should still be open and you should be in the directory where you extracted the files. Once you have typed "su" command below look at your phone and click allow for SuperUser...Ok so now type the following from the command prompt
adb shell
su
6A) REQUIRED RSA BACKUP This will back up your RSA keys just in case something goes wrong in that department. You should still be in your command window inside the shell with a #. (The following came from this thread)
mkdir -p /sdcard/nandroid/RSA-PR-BACKUP
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/nandroid/RSA-PR-BACKUP/wimax.img
This saves it in a file that can actually be restored. This next step is another type of backup just for good measure
busybox sed -n '/BEGIN CERTIFICATE/,$p' /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/rsa_OEM.key
This will dump the RSA keys to a text file on your SD Card named rsa_OEM.key
Mine was about 4575 KB in size, but the size could vary. Go ahead and switch the phone's USB connection over to "Disk Drive" and then browse to your SD Card and verify that the file rsa_OEM.key is indeed on the card.
Proceed to Step 7
7) You Should still be at a "#". This means you have root if you see a "$" or some other error message. Reboot your phone, check your drivers, usb debugging and cable and start over. If you got a "#" You can Proceed. You should still be in the shell at a "#" If not start over...Otherwise
chmod 0755 /data/local/flash_image
./data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img
sync
8) Now we are going to reboot your phone into the boot loader to flash the first PC36IMG.zip. You should still be in the shell So Type:
reboot bootloader
9) Once your phone is in the boot loader highlight bootloader, and press the power button. It will load the PC36IMG File...When it ask you to flash press VOL-UP. You will notice that it says bootloader bypassed and maybe some other errors. Dont worry this is normal. Once the flash of the file is done it will ask to reboot, Select NO by Pressing VOL-DOWN. Now some people have gotten some errors here and there during the flashing just continue as normal.
10) You should still be in the boot loader at this point. Scroll down to recovery and press the power button. It Should take you to a red triangle. If not and you get stuck at a white htc screen pull the battery and then repower the phone with power + vol down and select recovery. When you see the red triangle. Type the following (IF YOU GET STUCK HERE CHECK THE FAQ):
adb push recovery /
adb shell busybox --install /sbin
adb shell nohup /sbin/recovery &
With any luck you should be at a recovery (green screen with text)
11) Select enable USB-MS. This will mount your sdcard. Look in the root of your sdcard and you should have two files. One named PC36IMG.zip and one named PC36IMG-MR.zip. Rename the file named PC36IMG.zip to PC36IMG-ENG.zip and then rename PC36IMG-MR.zip to PC36IMG.zip when your done follow the instructions on your phone to disable usb (press power) then proceed to step 12
12) Now Select flash zip from the menu and choose unrevoked-forever.zip. Wait for it to complete. Select Reboot from the menu.
Now pay attention. It might kick you back into:
BOOT LOADER: See 12A
ROM: See 12B
WHITE HTC SCREEN: See 12C
12A) Ok so you got kicked to the boot loader. It should scan your card and find the PC36IMG.zip chose yes to flash this file and when it ask you to reboot....reboot by pressing vol-up....Proceed to step 13
12B) Ok so the phone booted into a rom. Power the phone off. Then repower the phone on pressing power and vol-down at the same time. It should take you into the bootloader and scan your card and find the PC36IMG.zip chose yes to flash this file and when it ask you to reboot....reboot by pressing vol-up....Proceed to step 13
12C) Ok so the phone is stuck at a white htc screen. Power the phone off by pulling the battery. Then repower the phone on pressing power and vol-down at the same time. It should take you into the bootloader and scan your card and find the PC36IMG.zip chose yes to flash this file and when it ask you to reboot....reboot by pressing vol-up....Proceed to step 13
13) Ok your phone is rooted now, and you should be inside the rom. The rom you just flashed is Sprint Lovers rom with the modified recovery. Download a rom of your choice copy it to the root of your sd card and flash it. But type the following first
adb shell mv /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip /sdcard/PC36IMG-MR.zip
adb reboot recovery
14) You Should be in the recovery menu now (green text screen). Do a backup by navigating to backup/restore press power to select then do a Nand backup in the next menu. Once thats done, select return, then reboot or flash a rom of your choice. If you flashed a different custom rom than the one thats included in the package cool. If not no big deal eitherway. Do a PRL/Profile update while in the rom after the phone is done rebooting. Your Done.
15) Read the FAQ for questions

as i said, i followed the instructions,but the tool stop at '/data/local/tmp/onload.sh ...' for a long time, can not continue. It is strange that you did not encounter this problem after upgraded to 250. Seems all of the users enounterred this error after upgraded to 250.
@jaseli how do you open the Service menu in step 12-13 without dialer?

when i am trying to upgrade my rooted tablet using FTF file, i remember that there is a preparation step not included above. but i found in another Taiwanese forum.
included here and please let me know if it helped.
1. make sure tablet is not connected to PC
2. settings => Xperia => USB connection
3. USB connection mode => choose MSC mode (default is MTP which might prevent the root tool to proceed)

@jaseli, you rooted before upgraded? If yes, I think it is the reason as the root is kept after upgraded!

I have .265 also and experience same issue when trying to root. Did you manage to get rooted with .265 ?
I tested with.250 , not working...
Please tell me how to get to the ROOT SGP321 .253?
Bootloader unlocked.
This is now DEPRECATED and NOT SUPPORTED ANYMORE since there is an easier method to do it! Links won't get updated! You can still use the written info!
If you want rooted kitkat head to my friend's thread @maxx_hr (THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK!) HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7-l9-ii/development/kk-kk-kdz-p710-root-t2950532
Hello to you all!Warning:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"][SIZE="4"]Your warranty is now void. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
Please do some research if you have any concerns about all contained in this tutorial
before you follow it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
But since i'm a nice dude i will try to guide you anyway:)[/SIZE][/COLOR]
In this tutorial we will learn how to:
- achieve root on our L7 II (Both single and dual-sim, so P715/P710 and all the derivated phones from them) by LG running a Custom Rom or Stock KK Rom.
FOR THIS FOLLOW ALL STEPS.
- unbrick/flash to a specific firmware using Lg Flash Tool (In this tutorial there are only 2 KDZ files stock JB for P710 and P715. If you want to recover from a brick or want a different KDZ file you can find them over here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/)
FOR THIS FOLLOW STEP 1 AND STEP 2 (install all drivers including adb and download the files that are needed at Step 2).
- flash with CWM (There are 3 methods I describe. Use the one that suits you the best. You can flash any *.zip that is suitable for your device.)
FOR THIS FOLLOW STEP 5.
Save your data you need, you will lose all data so backup with Titanium Backup or a program you like the info you need.
ALL DOWNLOADS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST!
This tutorial will be split in steps as the following:
1. Preparing the Windows machine with the right drivers and software.
2. Reverting back to Jellybean Stock Rom.
3. Rooting on Stock Rom (Jellybean).
4. Installing Unlocked Bootloader and ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM).
5. Flashing KitKat or a Custom Rom through CWM.
6. Flashing Root through CWM.
So let's start the job.
1. Preparing the Windows machine with the right drivers and software.
Uninstall everything related to LG from Control Panel (Drivers, PC Sync etc).
Restart your PC.
Download and unrar the archive "LG Drivers.rar".
Install both files inside and restart your computer.
Download "adb-setup-1.4.2.exe" and install it (answers should be y y y and install the drivers when prompted).
Download "Framaroot-1.9.1.apk".
Download "LG Flash Tool 2014.rar".
Download "Free LG P710.rar"
Download "P710 Stock KK.zip". -> Stock KK image with Stock KK kernel in it made from the original V20 KDZ (Open Europe).
Download SuperSU
*Download "P715 Stock KK.zip" and "LG P715 (JellyBean).kdz" if you are running a dual-sim version of the phone.
*Download all the files you need!
From now on I will consider you have this files and I will just call their names when to use them.
2. Reverting back to Jellybean Stock Rom.
Open the back cover of your phone and pull the battery out. Wait about 10 seconds. Put the battery back in.
While HOLDING (keep pressed) the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON insert the USB Cable in the phone (you need to have your USB cable inserted in an USB 2 port from the back of your PC).
When you see the yellow screen with emergency mode stop pressing the button.
Unplug the USB from the phone and then plug it in again.
Unrar "LG Flash Tool 2014.rar" and open "LGFlashTool2014.exe" with right-click Run As Admin.
*If you cannot open this program you need to install "VC_RedistInstaller.exe". You are missing some libraries of visual C++*
*IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER PHONE (another LG or P715) DO THE SAME INSTRUCTION AND REPLACE JUST THE KDZ FILE ON "Select KDZ File" TO THE ONE YOU DOWNLOADED AND IS SUITABLE FOR YOUR OWN DEVICE.
Move PhoneMode from DIAG to EMERGENCY. Select KDZ File: you have a file called "V10J_00.kdz" in the same folder as the tool. Select that. Press CSE Flash (CAUTION!!! This will reflash the phone and YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA SO BE WARNED).
Another screen will open and press START.
Another screen will open once again press OK.
At a point you will get an error like "Offline BLA BLA". DON'T DO ANYTHING DO NOT PRESS OK.
Wait until your phone reboots and then you can close this tool.
Remove USB cable.
IMPORTANT STEP:
Pull out the battery. Wait 10 seconds put it back. While holding VOLUME DOWN + HOME BUTTON press POWER BUTTON. Wait until you see LG logo and stop pressing POWER. Keep pressing the other 2 until you see android robot doing things. Wait until the phone boots.
CONGRATZ you are on JELLYBEAN (Or the KDZ you chose).
3. Rooting on Stock Rom (Jellybean).
When you see the welcome screen just fast forward everything.
Go to system settings->security->tick Unknown sources->OK.
Go to system settings->developer options->OK->tick USB debugging->YES.
With an SD card reader or with your USB connected as Media Sync (MTP) copy the "Framaroot-1.9.1.apk" to your SD Card.
Using the phone's FILE MANAGER go to external_SD and click the Framaroot you just copied. Run it using Package Installer Just Once and Install.
When finished press OPEN. At the first choice choose Install SuperSU and then press on "Gandalf". You will get Success. Press OK and reboot.
You will see SuperSU in you apps.
YAY! IT'S DONE.
4. Installing Unlocked Bootloader and ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM).
*SAME FILE YOU NEED FOR LG P715
Earlier you have download "Free LG P710.rar" and in the first step you installed ADB. We will use that now.
Unrar the "Free LG P710.rar" and place the 2 files ON THE ROOT (only on root) of the SD card using device mounted in MTP mode or SD card reader. Put back the card if you use the second option.
WARNING!!!
This can mess up you device so just do what i say step by step!
Plug the USB Cable in the Phone once again and use MTP connection mode.
Click Start+R type CMD and press ENTER.
Run the Following with copy paste to CMD.
Code:
adb devices
You will see your device.
*IF YOU CANNOT MAKE YOUR DEVICE BE RECOGNIZED IN "adb devices" do this:
Install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=ro
Open terminal and continue with the steps down below.
Code:
adb shell
You will see something ending with $.
Code:
su
Unlock the dvice if it is locked and your phone will ask for superuser permission press GRANT.
Code:
dd if=/storage/external_SD/APPSSBL.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
This will copy the unlocked bootloader to the bootloader partition.
Code:
dd if=/storage/external_SD/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
This will copy the CWM to recovery partition.
Code:
reboot recovery
This will reboot your phone in CWM if you followed all steps correctly.
GREAT SUCCES we have an unlocked bootloader and CWM.
Close your CMD.
Unplug USB.
5. Flashing KitKat or a Custom Rom through CWM.
*IF YOU WANT TO FLASH ANOTHER ZIP FILE OR YOU ARE ON P715 JUST USE THE ARCHIVE YOU NEED AS REFERENCE, NOT "P710 Stock KK.zip". CHOOSE THE FILE THAT IS MOST SUITABLE OR YOU THINK IT'S BEST FOR YOU
I made "P710 Stock KK.zip" you downloaded. This is the stock image for KK Open Europe. Here you can either flash mine or search for a Custom Rom for your device. Either way you will follow the exact same steps but with a different archive. I will take for reference the "P710 Stock KK.zip".
Plug USB in.
You Navigate using Volume Up Button (UP) and Volume Down Button (DOWN). The Power Button is OK.
Do this:
- Go to "wipe data/factory reset" and OK. Go to YES then OK. Wait until done.
- Go to "mounts and storage" and do the following: "format /cache" and "format /system" everytime with YES as second option. Press "go back" once.
- Go to "advance" and then "wipe dalvik cache" and YES. Press "go back".
Here you have 3 options.
OPTION 1.
Use an SD card reader copy the Zip file to the root of the SD card or copying using CWM. Using CWM you navigate with Volume Up and Volume Down to "mounts and storage" press POWER BUTTON (OK). Go to "mount USB storage" and your SD card will appear in windows and you can copy. After that you press "go back" 2 times to get to the main menu.
Go to "Install zip" and then "choose zip from sdcard". Search for the zip file and press OK then go to "YES" and press OK. Wait until done.
Go to "wipe data/factory reset" and OK. Go to YES then OK. Wait until done.
Press "Reboot System Now" and "yes" if asked (if you are asked about some fix or anything after you press reboot now choose the positive thing like the answer that is not no).
OPTION 2.
Copy the file using adb push. Open a CMD window in Windows (Start+R type CMD press ENTER). Copy this:
Code:
adb push
With the space. After space go where you downloaded the zip file highlight it and drag it in the CMD. Leave a space after that and type /sdcard (without space after).
Wait until done and close CMD.
After you copied the file to your sdcard go to "install zip" -> "choose zip from sdcard" -> search for the "P710 Stock KK.zip" press OK then go to "YES" and your installation will beging. Wait until it is done. Go to "wipe data/factory reset" and OK. Go to YES then OK. Wait until done.
Press "Reboot System Now" and "yes" if asked (if you are asked about some fix or anything after you press reboot now choose the positive thing like the answer that is not no).
NOTE: In the zip i made i don't know why i couldn't sideload it but usually you do not have to copy to SD card to flash something. You can sideload it. All you have to do is:
-Go to "install zip" -> "install from sideload"
On your computer open a CMD and copy this :
Code:
adb sideload
Copy with space and after what you copied grab the zip you want to flash and drag it to CMD. Hit ENTER. Sideload will send the zip to phone and process of flashing will start. After it is done reset to factory again.
Press "Reboot System Now" and "yes" if asked (if you are asked about some fix or anything after you press reboot now choose the positive thing like the answer that is not no).
CONGRATZ YOU ARE NOW ON KITKAT. I HONESTLY THINK THAT YOU SHOULD GO FOR THIS CUSTOM ROM OVER HERE BECAUSE IT IS LIKE 10 TIMES BETTER THAN THE STOCK KK. TO INSTALL JUST DOWNLOAD THE ZIP FILE FROM THERE (V2) AND FOLLOW THE TUTORIAL WITH JUST REPLACING THE ZIP WITH THE OTHER ZIP.

6. Flashing Root through CWM.
On some ROMS root will not be there. To avoid this we will flash the SuperSU zip.
To get to recovery you have 2 ways:
- From you ROM connect USB as MTP or in a way that ADB recognizes it (device gets detected by adb devices) type adb reboot recovery.
- Close your phone. At the same time press VOLUME DOWN + HOME BUTTON + POWER BUTTON. When you see the LG logo stop pressing POWER BUTTON. Keep the others 2 until you are in CWM.
Install the SuperSU zip with one of the ways you learnt at step 5.
You are rooted now.
Hope everything worked out fine for you and you are happy. Have a really nice day.

Does P713 have NFC?
This method actually works for dual sim too,you just have to use P715 kdz's.

Yeah it does. Maybe this weekend I will mod it. It is usefull for recoverying from soft bricks also just Step 1 and 2.
it was great till i get stuck on boot loop ,,, now how to solve ?
thanks for the useful guide.
I have a problem though, I cannot go after kdz extraction.
LG Tools stops with an cryptic error like [009.400.120.120.120]PC????? and looking at the log it seems there are troubles in unpacking the kdz file.
I have tried with different roms but still the same.
Does anyone has the same problem ?

I can't really understand you. The point of this guide is to get root on kitkat so flashing with lg flashtool will not work if you want kit kat rooted. I tested that V10J on my own l7 2 (p710). Also if you flashed Jellybean did you press CSE Flash not Normal Flash?

Ok do that step again. Flash with that tool using the image i provided. After the last ok. Even when you get the offline error don't touch it until phone reboots. If you get bootloop do this.
1. Pull out battery. Wait 10 seconds. Push battery back in.
2. While holding POWER DOWN + HOME BUTTON press POWER BUTTON. Wait until you see LG logo then stop presing POWER. You will get to see android guy doing stuff. Then tell me if it's ok.

Don't forget to press the thx button it's in the right . I will add this to the tutorial I didn't need it but who knows.
I managed to do the "root" step, but somehow cannot proceed with the next step.
When I check "USB debugging", the phone doesn't connect to the computer for some reason. I tried multiple computers, with no luck. The "adb devices" says just empty "List of devices attached".
If I disable the USB debugging, the phone gets connected just fine, if I enable it again, it gets stuck on "Connected as installer", and doesn't connect as MTP....
Any idea how to fix this?
Do you have drivers installed? Also when you press MTP cancel if your phone wants to install anything.

I tried everything, without luck. I ended just using terminal emulator to copy the files on phone directly (might be cool to add this to your tutorial, as someone else can also have this problem). So, now I'm on Amigas ROM - makes a HUGE difference! Thanks, looking forward for some other custom ROMs for this phone..

Strange huuummm. I don't know. Yeah i will add Terminal Emulator also in weekend. Never happened to any of my phones before... Maybe driver conflict on your PC or something like that.
I'm looking to do this later today. I've done quite a bit of reading and would like a confirmation (or correction) on the steps I plan to do.
Goal:
Upgrade my Note 4 (n910v) from Android 5.0.1 to use an NSeven rom.
Here is my phone information:
Model: SM-N910V
Android Version: 5.0.1
Baseband: N910VVRU2BOG5
USA carrier - changing from Verizon service to TMobile
My current plan:
Use Odin 3 to upgrade from N910VVRU2BOG5 to N910VVRU2BPA1 using the full firmware here. Is this guide adequate for the manual update?
Once upgrade to 5.1.1, I want to root and unlock the bootloader using this guide.
After that, I want to update the rom to NSeven using the guide here.
Questions:
Are there any issues with the steps above?
Are the guides adequate? Or are the other ones preferred?
Do I need to flash to Android 6.0.1 after rooting & unlocking the bootloader prior to using NSeven?
Thank you for taking the time to read and hopefully reply. I just want to be sure I have the right idea before I get started.
Sorry to bump this, but any chance someone has time for a response?

OK. I don't know about those steps, as I took a different route to get to the Nseven rom. Make sure you have the ADB/Odin 3.09 or 3.10 and Samsung drivers already installed on your PC. You might want to get/DL Kingroot.apk aswell.
Step 1.
Download the 5.1.1 BPA1 full firmware, this should be a all in one file. None of these separate files eg.BL AP CSC..
"I downloaded this from Sammobile"
Step 2.
Open Odin and add the firmware file to the AP tab by clicking on it and navigating to where file is located. This takes a little while to show as Odin checks the file before adding it( Make sure Auto reboot and F.Reset Time are ticked)
Step 3.
Make sure you have unlocked "DEVELOPER MODE" and "USB DEBUGGING" is ticked before powering down your phone and putting it into download mode by holding the 3 keys Vol Down,Power,Home then Vol Up to continue, once your in DL mode connect to PC. There may be a little pause as your PC may install further driver files before Odin recognizes you phone and adds it under "ID;COM". Once your phone has been added into the ID:COM you can go ahead and press START. Allow Odin to do its stuff and once your phone reboots you can unplug from the PC.
Now you should be on the 5.1.1 BPA1 firmware.
Allow your phone to boot completely, you can skip the whole setup process but you'll need to be connected to WiFi for the next process.
GAINING TEMP ROOT.
Step 1.
Transfer the "KINGROOT.APK" to your phone and install but don't open it yet.
Step 2.
Unlock Developer Mode again and tick USB DEBUGGING. * This is necessary for ADB.
Step 3.
Open Kingroot and allow it to check for root this can take awhile just be patient. Once it throws up the results it'll ask if you want to try "TRY TO ROOT". click on the tab and watch the process. " Your phone will reboot a few times during the process" I just reopened Kingroot each time it did until the process was done. ******You'll have to repeat this process again***** as your Phone reboots while your pushing the command file through ADB. Losing root in the process.
Now that you've repeated the process again and you have gained TEMP root. You can confirm this with "ROOT Checker" you can reconnect your phone to your PC.
Step 4.
Make sure you have the "Samsung_unlock_n4-fix script file in your FASTBOOT folder located in the extracted files of ADB.
Now open a ADB command window *Open this in the same folder where you exacted ADB. to do this hold Shift and click Right mouse button on any clear area of the ADB folder and scroll down to "Open command window here"
Step 5.
Within the command window type "CD Fastboot"
To confirm your device is added type" ADB devices"
You should see a random number listed under "List of devices"
If you do your set to go.
For this next step its best you have the Notepad open with these commands to make it easier. ****COPY & PASTE*****
The commands are.....* without the numbers in front of it
#1. adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix
#2. adb shell
#3. su
#4. cd/data/tmp/
#5. chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix
#6. chown root. root samsung_unlock_n4-fix
#7. . / samsung_unlock_n4-fix
OK time to push the file. Start with the 1st command and press enter. Then the 2nd and press enter. Then the 3rd and press enter. Then the 4th, then the 5th and 6th then the 7th.
Now once you've enter the 7th command you'll be presented with a warning just type YES ****USING THE SHIFT KEY WHILE DO SO****** and wait while the process completes. Your phone will reboot to confirm the process is complete.
******NOTE*******
Your phone will reboot but reboot into a Bootloop, don't worry just pull the battery and memory card. Replace the battery but not the memory card. Reboot into DL mode to confirm that you are now in/a Developer Mode.
**********CONGRATULATIONS YOU JUST UNLOCKED THE BOOTLOADER********
*****NOW HERE COMES THE STINK PART*******
You'll need to flash the N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1 full firmware with Odin this will update the Bootloader to CPD1 required for Nseven to boot. But in doing so will LOCK the bootloader again. ARRRGGGGG!!!!!!
So.....
Step 1.
Put your newly unlocked phone into DL mode again and reconnect to Odin.
Step 2.
Place the BPA1/CPD1 firmware into the AP slot and press start
Disconnect when the phone reboots. Allow it to fully boot/skip the setup process. ******Note you will need Mobile Data as WiFi is non usable due to the updated firmware.
Step 3.
Reformat your memory card using your PC and place back into your phone, reconnect your phone to PC and transfer ROOTKING.APK over again.
Step 4.
Turn on Mobile data. Install KINGROOT and open, follow the same process you did to unlock 5.1.1. This time it may take a little longer and there's a chance Kingroot will fail to root just try again.
*It did it to me.
*There's a chance your phone will reboot when it comes to pushing the command file, unfortunately that's just the way it is. Just repeat the Kingroot process again.
Step 5.
Now that you've gained TEMP ROOT again, You'll need to run ADB and push the scripts again. Just follow the same process you did for 5.1.1 BPA1.
Even down to pulling the Batt & Memory card.
Step 6.
Now that the bootloader is unlocked, place phone into DL mode and reconnect to PC and Odin. Now again AP slot navigate to where you placed your Custom recovery.
****NOTE. I used TWRP 2.8.7.0 trltevzv.img as TWRP 3.0.2.0 Didn't work for me. And flash disconnecting when phone reboots.
********Congrats you now have a UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER and a CUSTOM RECOVERY on 5.1.1 with a CPD1 bootloader.
Time to flash Nseven. *don't forget to reformat your memory card.
To flash Nseven, just copy over the Nseven zip file to your memory card and flash using TWRP.......ENJOY.
* Note. I didn't flash anything else apart from the CPL1 Nseven
Even though I had all the files DL. Just follow the Nseven forum if you experience any problems.
Hope this helps getting you into/onto Nseven.
Hey, I'm french so if I do mistake, it's normal, sorry
Here is a way to root this Wiko, finally!
Before doing this, i want to say that me, XDA or nobody exept you is responsible of what you can do on your phone, this method work for me, surely for you, but this operation will delete all your data, so remember to backup your data.
Now, you Have to go to Developper options, enable "OEM Unlocking", "USB Debugging" and disable "Verify apps over USB"
After, set "Select USB Configuration" to MTP. After That, download file (https://mega.nz/#!ioBQDZra!z6ntj85aM-mjg4dnscPaPBjvd-qpSY9HQiDkKuYbxcU) and extract it
Connect your phone to your Computer, Copy and Paste the SuperSU zip file in your SD card, and reboot your phone in fastboot mode (shutdown, and boot it by pressing Power and Vol+, then, when you have a choice between recovery and fastboot, select fastboot by clicking Vol-)
Open a command prompt in the extracted file, and type: fastboot oem unlock
Here, all your data will be lost by a factory reset.
When the phone restart, in the command prompt, type:
adb root
adb shell
cat /proc/partitions
ls -l /dev/block/platform/soc/7825900.sdhci/by-name/ (7825900.sdhci may be different, so use tab to find the correct file)
in the list, you will have a file with "recovery -> /dev/block/XXX" (XXX may be like mmcblk0p22)
cat /dev/block/XXX > /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
exit
adb pull /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery "CUSTOM recovery.img"
fastboot reboot
if there is no problems, you phone restart normally, so stop it, and boot to the recovery (Power and Vol+ and whene the choice appear, Select recovery with Vol+)
if your phone don't want to boot to the TWRP recovery, try to flash the stock recovery, reboot and flash again the custom one. if the problem persist, leave a comment.
In TWRP, swipe the button, and go to Install, Up a level, select external_sd and then, select the SuperSU file, select "Reboot after installation is complete, and swipe to flash.
When it's done, install or not the TWRP app, and reboot. The device can start twice before finally boot, and can be longer than usual, but don't do anything, it's normal.
When the phone finally boot, SuperSU may be installed, so go check if it's true, and if it is, go to the play store and install BusyBox (by Stephen (Stericson))
After the installation is complete, open it, and click install.
If there is no problem, the root acces will be request, so accept it and all is done.
If you have a problem, or any question, ask me.

Do you have an error message ? Or something else ?
Oh, well, it figured my way out! First SU installation, the phone isn't rooted (I don't know why, either). But I factory reset the phone, set the phone up, then go to TWRP and re-install SU and it worked. Now the phone is rooted!
Thank you very much for your guide and files.
By the way, I guess most people will get stuck at "adb root" command.
Simply dial *#*#84666364#*#* (this launches TinnoEngineerMode)
- go to "Tinno Debug Feature"
- tap on "persist.tinno.debug" and choose 1
Then you can go on with "adb root" command
Hope this helps!

guys where i can download official rom for the wiko view 2 and extract?
ola and in french plz ?
don´t work on my wiko view 32GB
please help me to root my wiko view 32gb+3gb. i place fastboot oem unlock in pront comand i see waiting for device, and nothing. please creat a apk our anything for root
Would it work on k-Kool ?
We'll this sounds horrifying, just to get root permission, you have to accept to get rid of all your data and parms ? It must be another way.
I'll explain my real need for rooting my Wiko k-Kool. I bought a 64GB SD card, to be used normally as external storage, not for apps install. However I want to be able to backup my phone onto that card, just in case. I use Helium to backup my data without needing root (uses internally adb) ! However non-rooted Helium as a 3d party application has no permission to write to the SD card ! The reason I want to root is just to give Helium the permission to wirte into a backup directory.
Therefore I dont want to put my data at risk just to get root permission, but found no other way to change heliums permissions.
Thanks for any help.
