[GUIDE] Root L9 ICS/Jelly Bean with New Lelus method and Offline Flash (1st and 2nd post)
(NOTE: This thread is only for NOOBS like me and for Junior Members.)
ATTENTION: THIS WORKS ON ICS/JELLYBEAN with both locked/unlocked bootloader.
But Go here for FASTER Root L9 JB/ICS on Unlocked Bootloader.
To understand and perform Flashing L9, you should read all following threads carefully before starting.
GUIDE TO NEW ROOT L9 WITH LELUS METHOD AND FLASH L9 (this post)
LELUS THREAD to Root L9 Thanks to Lelus (GUIDEPOST BY ARTIT Thanks to Artit for his preliminary guide)
JELLY BEAN ROOTING FILES BY ANGRYWOLF80's
TUTORIAL ON OFFLINE FIX FLASH METHOD by me << VERY IMPORTANT HERE
COLLECTION OF READY-MADE HEX-EDITED BIN FILES (in second post) by me. BIN files ready to download and flash. Now includes Jelly Bean files too.
MAKE YOUR OWN HEX-EDITED BIN FILE EASILY again by me
If anyone want to learn and still want to make their own HEX EDITED BIN files from their own KDZ, its really very easy. You dont have to download huge files again, and will be able to make your own edited BIN from the KDZ you already downloaded before. To support Rooting L9 with Lelus Method, I am uploading and collecting the readily HEX-EDITED BIN files. Now you dont have to worry for Bricking with wrongly EDITED BIN file. This will AVOID the process of editing HEX file, which may be bit confusing for some noobs like me
============================
SPECIAL THANKS TO LELUS AND ANGRYWOLF80 FOR THEIR TEAM WORK.
LELUS: This Rooting Method is not my original work AND ALL CREDIT GOES TO LELUS WHO GAVE THIS NEW CONCEPT OF HEX-EDITING OF BIN AND A SH SCRIPT TO RUN BEFORE FLASH. Without Lelus this thread might not exist.
ANGRYWOLF80: I am really thankful to him for providing a solution with changes in Lelus's script so the SU is not copied on every boot and also made changes to avoid mounting system in RW mode, keeping original hdcp.sh file without changes. The current improved modified BatchFile is by him. This removes some vulnerabilities.
Also thanks to him for JELLYBEAN ROOTING FILES. Pals, he really worked hard for this. Press THANKS button on his thread.
Adixtra and Unknown_world : Makers of Offline Fix Flashing Method. Without them Flashing Guide was not possible.
GUIDEBOOK STEPS
=============
0) Precautions:
___A) Select "Debugging Mode" as ON (Ticked) in Phone Settings (Developer Section)
___B) Select "Install from Unknown Sources" as ON (Ticked) in Phone Settings (Security Section)
___C) Indian version of L9 does not come with "Lookout Security Antivirus" already installed. But KDZ from other countries may have it already installed, FORCE CLOSE AND UNINSTALL it from app manager. If you cannot uninstall, at least DISABLE it. This program is known to be preventing connection and rooting of device.
___D)OFFLINE KDZ FLASHING DOES NOT LOOSE PHONE DATA, BUT YOU MUST BACKUP YOUR PHONE IN ANY CASE.
1) Download Hex-Edited BIN file and related KDZ file (on same line) in exact combination shown in SECOD POST BELOW. If you already have downloaded exact KDZ from this post, then you dont need to download KDZ again, just download matching BIN file.
2)
FOR ICS Download >>> Root_and_Flash_Guide_byCMahendra(date).zip
FOR JellyBean Download >>> RootJB_and_Flash_Guide_byCMahendra_AngryWolf80(31-Mar).zip
Either choose ICS version or JB and extract in your C-Drive.
Now you will get three folders named "C:\RootLelus" and "C:\RootFlash" and "C:\shttps"
3) Install Drivers: "LG USB Driver (Download 3.8.1 here)"
4) Optional if installed before: Install MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser by running "msxml.msi" file in "RootFlash" folder.
5) Connect Phone to PC with USB in "MTP" mode, let all drivers install for detected hardware items, then in "Charge Only" Mode, let all drivers install, then in "PTP" mode and let all drivers install, LASTLY connect in "LG SOFTWARE" Mode and let all drivers install. Don't neglect anything, it will save OUR time.
IMPORTANT: Weirdly windows will try to install its own WDM drivers searching online in internet. Do not let it install like that. It will be stuck with longer time or it will just fail to install drivers.
Solution: Always Click the link/button "Skip Obtaining Driver....." shown in this screenshot, so pc will install only original LG drivers for all devices in all usb modes.
6) Keep phone in "LG SOFTWARE" Mode and wait until it is connected. Now at this moment Device Manager should show 3 entries like this. If not, flashing will not work. (This is Important Checklist Step)
7) ADB MODE: Now start Windows Command Prompt with "Run As Administrator" option. Try to ping any website, if you SEE THIS DOS ERROR (SCREENSHOT) you are not in Admin mode and you need to try again. (THIS IS IMPORTANT CHECKLIST)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now pass following commands in lower case as adb command is "case sensitive"
C:\>CD \RootLelus
C:\RootLelus>stuff\adb devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
***For Jellybean the folder will be "RootLelusJB" instead of "RootLelus"
Now your device should be shown as "List of Attached Devices" like this result in screenshot. (Important Checklist Step)
This means your device is ready to take ADB Commands. PLZ DONT IGNORE THIS CHECKLIST. If fails, check cables, reinstall drivers, restart pc, connect cable directly on motherboard USB port and try again from first step.
8) This is important root preparation for Rooting before Flashing. Now Run a batch file "RootL9" on command prompt with following commands.
C:\RootLelus>RootL9
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This simple automated command batch-file (RootL9.bat) will copy necessary files to special locations and will set some necessary permissions.
When done, REMOVE USB CABLE AND POWER OFF THE PHONE.
9) NOW ACTUAL KDZ FLASHING STARTS AND THEN A QUICK MAGIC TRICK IS TO BE PERFORMED.
___9A) Add lines in "hosts" file as mentioned in step 1 of this post.
___9B) Start "SmallServer" as mentioned in step 2 of same post
10) Now follow all steps from all 3 to 10 from this original flashing post. In 11th of original flashing post your have to do following magic.
11) ACTUAL MAGIC:
After LG UPDATE TOOL starts, wait for following message in RED SENTENCE.
When you see this message and update meter reaches to 8%, then
quickly open this folder "C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone"
and look for extracted bin files, if you see the same name as BIN file you downloded (LGP765_AP[6].bin or LGP765_AP[11].bin), replace it with the one you downloaded earlier (which is already HEX-EDITED).
Press "Continue" if windows asks you for permission to copy and replace.
Folder not found? Workaround: Copy this "C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone" and paste in windows explorer at top, the folder should open directly, then replace file. In one of the rarest case, in WIN XP machine the folder was found here "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\LGMOBILEAX\Phone" in this post.
Still problems? Check this post too.
Let flashing complete, and you are done. YOU HAVE JUST ROOTED L9!!! Phone should now reboot with working SuperUser. If SuperUser ForceCloses, just restart phone once again.
12) CWM Recovery Installation on ICS: This rooting does not install ClockWorkMod. First run SuperSU and install SUBinary if it asks to install and then visit this thread to install L9 Recovery Installer by Artas182x. First install this app and then run app and install Recovery.
CWM Recovery Installation on Jelly Bean: Please follow AngryWolf80's thread for installing CWM. If you dont find the information, post your question in his thread.
13) BUSYBOX Re-Installation: According AngryWolf80, he found some new vulnerabilities and recommended to uninstall BUSYBOX and REINSTALL it as per this thread and these instructions. Though this is applicable to the Root File released on 6th March, but these instructions by AngryWolf80, can be tried by anyone just to install and update busybox.
========================================
Troubleshooting
1) After step 2: If extracted folders need any permissions, then you should provide in folder security section by adding user "everyone" or "<yourname>" and give full access. (example video) This is Optional and should be done if you have permission errors while flashing. Do it for all three folders.
2) About 11th Step: The most common problem is you may not be able to replace the file in LG folder in quick time. You have to be very quick, so the FOLDER should be open in advance. You can even open the folder in the beginning and minimize until it is required to replace. If you are late, the LG TOOL will flash original file and root will fail. Or you can open the folder immediately when it starts at 4% and keep looking for file to replace. As soon as you see 7th BIN file PASTE it with 6th BIN, you already COPY'ed before.
========================================

Thanks a lot to all HEX-EDITED BIN contributors. I downloaded most KDZ's (500+-mb) just for the sake of making perfect BIN files.

I am sure experts who can edit hexfiles without any error, should not have any objection if this thread stays and serves junior members. Good Luck all Elnaainians (L9ians)

I checked this link and searched the link inside but did not find any link mentioned by you for Hex-Edited V10GP769 bin file. Please recheck and send exact link or post with link.
When I posted that I didn't have 10 posts yet, so I couldn't post an actual link. Instead, I replaced "." with "[dot]". Anyways, I've just uploaded it to multiupload.nl for you. I've rooted with this on my own P769 and have checked the new checksum with the old one to ensure it hasn't been corrupted since the file was last accessed.

When I posted that I didn't have 10 posts yet, so I couldn't post an actual link. Instead, I replaced "." with "[dot]". Anyways, I've just uploaded it to multiupload.nl for you. I've rooted with this on my own P769 and have checked the new checksum with the old one to ensure it hasn't been corrupted since the file was last accessed.
Update:
Just uploaded the unrooted KDZ for P769BK V10G TMO USA (MD5: f467e9a0d0d4c3880486384b12fb081e), which I originally found in this thread, to multiupload.nl before realizing someone else already did. The official link for the KDZ gives you an HTTP Forbidden (perhaps the LG Upgrade software uses a special user agent, or contains other header info).
You can be sure this is the official and correct URL because they're structured as such: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WDLSW/model/authentication/rom/rom.kdz. Everything that's been italicized is changed. You replace it with info from this URL: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI where IMEI is your IMEI number. The page will give you some information about your phone. Shown on the page, you'll see your IMEI. After that number, you will see your model, the authentication, a number-letter combination I'm unsure of, and then the release date of your phone. Anyways, replace model and authentication appropriately. The name of the rom isn't on that page, but you probably already know the name of the ROM you're looking for anyway. For example, V10g_00. I know all of this from bricking the Optimus S, unbricking it (in fact, I did this several times), and posting a guide over at androidcentral (under a different username).

Also, I'll be posting the unrooted KDZ in a moment. I found it somewhere on XDA and there is an official LG Mobile link to it as well, but the LG Mobile link gives a "forbidden". Therefore, I'm uploading the KDZ to multiupload.nl now (takes a little bit, it's quite big).

Edit: Those V10G links were forbidden since 3/4 months. Thanks to that unknown person who saved it long time back when it was available.
Edit2: I must be mad, worked overnight and now downloaded V11AP769, modified [5]BIN and now uploading. (Too sleepy but dont worry no mistakes in V11A.BIN file editing.)
Edit3: Relax relax, saturnianalien. You are giving all old links we know since ages and my Rom Linker works on it since last 1 and half years. V10G KDZ new working link is already given by Gambal88 and placed on OP so dont worry.

I didn't use the rom linker because I was detecting spyware from it with several databases. If it used easy-to-read client-side JavaScript rather than server-side ASP or if it came from a website registered by LG, then I'd feel much better about using it. Besides that, I think it benefits everyone to know how stuff works, rather than relying on a tool.
Sent from my LG-P769 using xda app-developers app
EDIT: LG update will not run because it says "Please install CSMG B2C Client Tool" "Select tool ->B2C Client setup menu"
I tried that as well as manually downloading the b2c installer however it does not change anything. Ive also tried compatability mode (win xp sp3) and that didnt help.
Thanks a ton! Rooted P769 v10G
I uninstalled ALL drivers associated with mobile devices and started from scratch. Worked this time. rooted! woot!

LGP768 Root Guide
Rooting Tutorial
1.) By now you should have your USB Drivers installed
2.) Plug your phone in, go through Charge, then PTP, then MTP, then LG Software (and let all the drivers install with each option)
3.) Leave on LG Software for rooting purposes
4.) Run RootTools/RunMe_L9.bat
5.) Select option 1 and hit enter
6.) Click Recover Data if it pops up on your phone's screen (no need to worry about entering anything in the encryption fields)
Wait for your phone to reboot (twice) and afterwards check if SuperSU is installed.

I've been trying to inject CWM etc, it's been quite the struggle, also tried OTA while using root keeper, LG really is as bad as I initially thought hahaha.
But no worries, I'm positive that I'll manage to upload a rooted V10E very soon (=

But no worries, I'm positive that I'll manage to upload a rooted V10E very soon (=

Have your tried New Easy Rooting by Lelus Method on your P768? It is working for almost all versions of L9, very easy and fast and less jargons. I am uploading HexEdited BIN file for P768 very soon.
Uploaded Rooted_CWM_BACKUP_P768_V10E_by_BaLiSTa.zip also updated links.
Uploading my ROM tonight or tomorrow (=
V10E cannot mount sdcard.
But it can mount in clockworkmod.
I need a fixed-link
Hi BaLiSTa. I'm using JB V20B P768 but i don't want to use it now because it's using capacity of ram is very much. I want to downgrade this firmware to V10A or V10E but your link died. Can you fix it. Pllzzzz. Tks you so much :highfive:
This post may be helpful for:
1. People that are trying to downgrade from firmware they flashed.
2. People who accidentally flashed wrong firmware and now they want to flash the correct one.
3. People who generally want to flash a firmware using the KDZ Updater,
AND
Cannot do the things above because the KDZ Update tool shows the "Error 1002" or the update tool stops at 4%.
P.S. 1: I have tried that on Optimus L5 and L9 when I had same problem and it works. Some users also told me it works on L7 too.
P.S. 2: I don't know if it will work for EVERY phone, I'm just saying it worked on mine. Maybe I'm lucky! But if you tried everything and nothing worked, maybe you could also give this a try.
P.S. 3. YOU MUST HAVE A WORKING FIRMWARE(a firmware that can get installed-doesn't matter if it's the right one).
Solution
First time I did this was with an Optimus L5 - E615.
In my case,there was only one firmware that worked and got installed with the KDZ Updater tool.(The v20b-for L5 E610 - Europe) which was not for my model and I flashed accidentally. Nothing else worked, no matter which firmwares (From LG site) i tried, compatible or not.
I only managed to fix that when I downloaded the firmware i wanted to install, and "tricked" the PC into, thinking that it installed the 20b.
I don't know if that issue happened only to me only, but IF someone has the same problem another time, it will maybe work for him too. Or maybe it will be possible solution to everyone flashing a wrong Firmware..!
The thing is , I noticed that the KDZ Updater, everytime it wanted to install a KDZ, it extracted it as a .DZ file at the "LGMOBILEAX" folder located in C/appdata folder.
In L9 it's .WDB instead of .DZ files. So I'm changing it to WDB for the solution
To fix the "Lparam 1002 Error"(Stop on 4% of update tool or crash error in KDZ updater ) do the following steps:
1. Install correct drivers from LG mobile tool to be sure my phone was recognized.
2. Move battery out(Optional, by I prefer it if it's possible).
3. Enter Emergency Download Mode(By pressing the Volume-Down button while connecting the phone with the PC).
4. Extract the -workingfirmware.kdz and the firmwareyouwant.kdz with the Rom Converter Tool made by jes0411 (Original Post HERE), and rename the extracted firmwareyouwant.wdb same as workingfirmware.wdb
5. Start the KDZ update, choosing the workingfirmware.kdz, and when the workingfirmware.wdb file is extracted, replace it immediately with the (now renamed as "workingfirmware.dz") firmwareyouwant.dz
EDIT: If you are too scared of replacing files during the procedure, just wait until the update stops and asks you to restart. You can replace them then.
Wierd issue from LG, but it worked for me!
Cheers.
Thank You!! It works!
I can confim it works with LG L7 (P700/P705) too.
L9 does not have any file extracted with e610v20.dz name or any file with .DZ extension. Are you sure this is somewhere related to L9 by any chance?

Check P.S.1 and what I wrote below mate
Every LG firmware (.kdz files) is extracted as a .dz file during Firmware installation via LG update tool or KDZ updater.
About the e615 files, it's because I had this issue on a friend's L5-E615, but I'm also posting here because I've tested this on L9 too and it's working if you have this issue. From pms and posts I got, it seems that this works on most lg devices(L3,L5,L7,L9). I just posted here because I own a P760.. I'm just trying to contribute to the L9 community..!
EDIT: Cmahendra was right, the file extensions in L9 is .wdb. My bad, nevertheless the solution is the same...!
Cheers,

[CENTER]Common Questions and Problems KDZ Method:
1.Network connection error is NORMAL, move the window over and you'll see its actually most likely flashing
2.If your getting errors when doing the kdz method and running a custom rom that could be the problem and you'll need to use the TOT method.
3. Getting connection errors? Check under device manager to make sure you see LG something related under communication ports (Windows 8/10 ports might be hidden)
Make sure your using a USB 2.0 port!! USB 3.0 will NOT work.
Common Questions and Problems TOT Method:
If having an issue try and choose Board_ID on the TOT/DLL selection screen.
Make sure you've set your COM port to COM41
If device does not start flashing besure you unplug and replug the device
Make sure your using a USB 2.0 port!! USB 3.0 will NOT work.[/CENTER]

Do NOT Close the FlashTool Window during firmware update.
99% of the time FlashTool will FAIL after 85% anything after 85% is just your phone rebooting so your safe
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Remember if you have bootloop or stuck on LG Logo after flashing make sure you FACTORY RESET!
Extra Important Info:
To Fix ANY Driver issues make sure you reboot your computer after removing and then reinstall again, Also try different USB ports or USB cable or try another PC.

LGUP Method:Flashes both KDZ & TOT files:
Thanks to @shakeyabooti for LGUP!
Download LGUP from HERE
Install the file with the DLL name in them first and then LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3 Then copy the folder "common" to C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model (this should resolve unknown error)
Make sure you have downloaded the required KDZ file MM or LP
Open LGUP on your computer "make sure your phone is plugged in"
ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE WITH LGUP NOT SEEING YOUR MOBILE?
Try this....... take the back off your mobile so you can get at the battery. Connect your mobile via USB. Start LGUP, if it does not see your phone DO NOT DISCONNECT, DO NOT RESTART OR TURN OFF LGUP. Take out the battery and then put it back in.......let the phone restart on its own. LGUP should now see it.
LG Drivers: in First post
TO DO A FULL WIPE AND INSTALL MM - Open the LGUP on your computer. FILE PATH point it towards the MM KDZ.
IMPORTANT!!!!!!! shut down LGUP!
Now open LGUP again - you will notice that the MM KDZ will still be showing in the FILE PATH section. Select REFURBISH and make sure BIN file is ticked. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient
TO GO BACK TO LP FROM MM - Open LGUP on your computer, click on FILE PATH and point it towards your LP KDZ. Close LGUP and re-open LGUP. Make sure you select REFURBISH this will do a FULL wipe, tick BIN file. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient

This flash file will need to be flashed a different way than this guide though.

Hey guys, ive searched the whole day now and have a serious problem with my LG G2 D802 variant..
I tried to flash Paranoid Android 4.0 with TWRP and there was a never ending boot animation, after that I tried to do a factory reset with the LG Flash tool wich stops at 49%.
Now I'm trying to unbrick it with this tutorial but I can't find the .tot file for the D802.
http://optimusforums.com/threads/guide-complete-guide-to-unbrick-your-soft-bricked-g2-f320.9232/
The thing is, I have extracted the .kdz and it outputs a .dz and a .dll when I'm trying to start the flash progress, there is a popup wich says "Failed PriviousLoad()... :/
Could someone please help me out?
Sidenote: I have access to TWRP but sideload wont work(?) adb lists no devices....
i look for it allso

hi i have LG G2 D802 16gb
last week i flashed kitkat rom, but since most of G2 specific apps are lost, i didnot like it and i want to get back to stock.
i get "stuck at %49 error", "page error", "wparam error", ("whatever you call error") all the time while trying to flash d802 stock rom with "R&D tool", i tried on Win8, WinXP..
I changed the USB com port to 4, to 41.. nothing Worked!!!
and at last!..
I ve found a solution...
here it is...
i found the python script, called "KDZFileTools.py" written by someone (called thecubed) in this forum.
thanks him alot!!! and here is the link;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483250
to make python script file run in Windows go to http://www.python.org and download python 2.7 (NOT 3.x) and install it..
then put .py script file, .kdz file into "c:\python27\" folder (this folder is created default when you install python)
and in command promt type;
python KDZFileTools.py -f D80210B_00.kdz -x
this commands extracts the required .DLL file from .KDZ file, to "c:\python27\kdzextracted" folder, the extracted.dz file is NOT necessary for this tutorial.

.tot file for D80210e_EUR_XX
Are any of .tot files from link above compatible with phone running stock d80210e_eur_xx, so 32Gb version? Or can I just use the one which is for 32Gb version (using .dll from d80210e_eur_xx.kdz and .tot from d80210b_sea_xx) and then use .kdz method with d80210e_eur_xx.kdz to get my carriers official ROM?

Thank you for this great tutorial, I have a query though. The TOT files provided in the link, are they generic? I have the same phone but the 32gb variant. Can i extract the DLL and then flash the 32gb TOT on tmy LG G2 D802 International variant?

It was a "bit" long time ago I dont remember exactly what the issue really was. But i think "memory variant" wouldnot be important for dll.. give it a try, it should work..

Thanks for the reply. So should i extract the DLL from the stock KDZ and the flash the 32gb TOT from that link? Are you sure it won't mess things up more?
I badly want to fix this issue or else i would have to pay a hefty amount to my friend. I just want to be sure i dont render it completely dead.
By the way, are those TOTs carrier specific?
{WORKING ROOT FOR T-MOBILE LG LEON LTE 5.1.1 LOLLIPOP}
.....so after a week & some change of endless searching for a working root method, following tons of half-assed directions, trying about 4-5 "1-click root scripts" and installing a bunch of different root APK's with absolutely no luck I finally successfully rooted the T-Mobile LG Leon 5.1.1 Lollipop by putting together a few things I found on this forum.....
This method (with files linked to this post) ONLY works on the T-Mobile LG Leon LTE 5.1.1 Lollipop by downgrading to the previous 5.1.1 Lollipop firmware before the current version.....I did not try it on the MetroPCS variant so please do not inbox me asking "hey bro does this work on MetroPCS??" because I do not know.
It will more-than-likely work if you follow the instructions but you'll need the MetroPCS firmware .kdz file, not the one linked to this post...just find the file and follow the instructions below.
You need the following;
T-Mobile LG Leon Drivers-----> Windows | MAC
LG Flash Tool 2014-------------> LG Flash Tool 2014
LG Leon H34510d kdz file-----> H34510d kdz file
Kingroot 4.5---------------------> Kingroot 4.5
Once you've downloaded the above files follow these directions to successfully root your LG Leon from T-Mobile.

~BACKUP WHATEVER YOU DO NOT WANT LOST~
~This method will wipe all your apps, pictures, etc.~
*********************************************************
|[ INSTRUCTIONS]|
1.) Download & extract above files to desktop.
2.) Put device in download mode by powering off completely. Then, while the phone is still off, hold the "volume up" button for 2-3 seconds and insert the USB wire (make sure the USB is connected to your desktop/laptop) until download mode screen appears.
3.) Run LG Flash Tool 2014
4.) Once the LG Flash Tool is open, leave (or select) "Select Type" As "CDMA".
5.) Change "PhoneMode" to "CS_EMERGENCY".
6.) Click the folder icon to browse your computer and select the "H34510d_00.kdz" file.
7.) Click the button that says "CSE Flash".
8.) Click on the Start button.
9.) Click on "Clear Update Registry".
10.) For "Country" select "Different Country"
11.) For "Language" select "English" (or whatever language you use).
12.) Click "Okay" and let the LG Flash Tool recognize your device. The Flash Tool will do it's thing and load the file onto your device...it takes a minute or two so just let the process run it's course. Once it hits 100% your phone will reboot once or twice- leave it plugged in -you will see the Android with the spinning blue "thing" in his belly for a second or two then the device will reboot. Wait until the Flash Tool progress bar is at 100% on your computer and your phone shows the setup page (like when you turn it on the very first time) and unplug the device.
***Once the downgrade starts you may see a popup window that says something like "Can not connect to servers" but it is just an error...you can see the timer & progress bar running behind the popup, just ignore it.***
You are now downgraded to the 10d firmware {H34510d}.
13.) Install Kingroot 4.5 and run that and it will take about 30-60 seconds to acheive root.
###ENJOY ROOT ACCESS###
If, for some wild, crazy reason this fails and you soft-brick your device (which shouldn't happen if you follow the directions) check this thread to unbrick: Unbrick T-Mobile LG Leon
Thanks to Yazuken1 and IPRJ25 for some of the info that helped me put this together.

I used this exact same process, except for the Kingroot step. For that step, I used this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-how-to-root-lgls770-5-1-1-t3184649. It takes longer than Kingroot, but it might be useful to have that documented here.
Has anyone tried this with metro pc version or have the .kdz file for metro pc version
i did that several months ago and it is working fine. Mine is LG Leon on MetroPCS. MS-345

I did it with Kingroot 4.1 so i guess 4.5 should better.

I just used Kingroot 4.5 because it was the first to pop up on the returned search links...when I previously installed Kingroot (4.1 I believe) it said there was nothing for the device it was installed on but that may be because I didn't downgrade yet...
Can someone with an Android forums account re-host this?: http://androidforums.com/threads/leon-one-click-root-works-on-10d-10e-ms345-h345-no-kingroot.938062/
New root method that does not involve KDZ flashing: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9903887/Apps/LG_Leon_OCR_v2.zip Credits go to digital-bug, NBreunig3, Chainfire, Unjustified Dev, avicohh, & high247 and CamoHiddenDJ from Androidforums who modified this for LG Leon. Also, thanks to es0tericcha0s for rehosting the file.
Has anyone tried this on the risio varrient?
Thanks!
5.1.1 Lolipop
Can I flash this kdz on h340n ?
The phone also has snapdragon and is LTE enabled.
OP CHANGED: New versions added.
Guide tested on LG Class (Aka LG Zero,my new phone) It's working fine. Thank you for understanding.
So, to stay rooted we must stay on this D version?
Thanks.

Seconded! That script is supposed to be able to root the newer 'e' and 'f' roms according to the post, but I can't register! I've been trying for over a week to get a dang Android Forums account, but the signup process seems broken right now and emails to the site admins have gone unanswered. All I need is that silly script and it's really aggravating

Kdz error!
I am having a problem. The kdz file will not work says no file when trying to download. Can anyone help me or email me the h34510D Is a file please! Or is there another kdz I can use for a successful root? I have tried changing the urls devtester suggested as well. [email protected]
I had the LG Leon a while ago and I have rooted it with Kingroot 4.1 and replaced kinguser with Supersu using SupersuMe Pro 9.1.2 (other versions didn't work, they hangs on the phase 1). I don't share my apk since it is a paid app. But I still recommend using Supersu rather than kinguser as it is more compatible with a lot of root apps (e.g. Titanium Backup tells you that you MAY have some problems with it, Busybox by Stericsson doesn't work telling you that you are not rooted ecc.) But there is still a little workaround if you don't want to use SupersuMe (and of course it's free ): when you have kinguser install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitcubate.root.busybox.complete&hl=it , (it's mandatory for Flashfire to run) install Busybox within the app and then install Flashfire and with the app flash the Supersu.zip . Flashfire says that it isn't tested on this device but I flashed Xposed, Titanium Backup system zip and Dolby Atmos on mine. Only thing I noticed that restoring the backup of Flashfire simply doesn't work (idk why). But for sure it flashes zips with no problems.
thanks have another issue
so I have tried this.... one problem, my phone is stuck at the lg logo screen upon boot-up...
not sure why I am having problems getting the kdz file... even for original firmware... i tried using a friends macbook ( i hav hp pavilion with ad free commands) and still no luck. but anyways not sure what to do from here. I have tried a hard reset... still no luck.
LG Leon H326 TV v10b
It works for model LG Leon H326 TV v10b ?
Missing 10D kdz
It looks like the 10D kdz file is no longer available from the original link. I have looked extensively for a copy to no avail.
Does anyone have a local copy they can post ?
Thanks !
