Use cydia impactor. Tested on original firmware and update one (as of December 20)

so, you pressed start and you got it rooted? just like that?

I confirm that. The procedure is very easy. Cydia Impactor will built the drivers for Smart 4G. Then it will place the su file into the system/xbin/.
After that you can download your super user app of your choice. And you are OK.

Yeah its easy! The real issue is if you mess around much with the firmware and if you manage to brick it you are pretty much screwed. I've dumped the kernel, recovery and system partitions. While the phone does have fastboot, I can't flash anything using fastboot or even get in fastboot mode without booting up the phone first.
So before messing around with the system partition think twice.
Edit: Has anybody built a kernel for this thing? I've got the kernel config (dumped from working phone) and the (wrong, since it gives an error with the settings) kernel sources.

Recovery is blank of options. Why you dumbed it and how? Thanks in advance.

I don't know why but the recovery has no selectable options, maybe it needs a usb jig?
I've dumped it for backup purposes. You can use dd to dump the partitions. I've also dumped the OTA zip. The stock camera is crap indeed.

So i figured out how to show up the options into the recovery menu.
1. Boot to recovery by shutting down your phone and pressing Vol(+) + Power Button until it opens.
2. The phone will boot but there is no option available.
3. Press the PowerButton and at the same time, press once the Vol(+). This compination will show up the 4 basic option into a factory recovery. These are reboot system, wipe cache, wipe data, install update.

These options exists at Vodafone smart 4G? Is there an actual recovery options?

These options are included into the original recovery of Vodafone smart 4g. To access these you must follow the above steps.
**if you want a better camera performance, you must try out "focal" from play store

Mine reboots if I try the Vol+ and power button combo at the recovery screen. What is you firmware version?

4.2.2 I think that you don't follow exactly my steps.

I finally got it working, the trick is when you see the "No command" you must *first* press the power button and while pressing it press the Volume + button once, and them release all buttons.
Btw: I am on Build 4.2.090.28.T3.131127.JDQ39.VF.PT

I have the same build

how did you manage to use the impactor, because I get the "no devices found" message
edit: was told that I had to tap several times the build number so to activate the programmer options. And it worked

Yes.you need to check usb debugging before
Has anyone faces battery drain? Especially in flight mode?

I've had that problem but since I've removed a few apps from the system partition it no longer seems to bee happening much (still there is some drain in flight mode).
I found a way to get to fastboot mode without root or even booting the phone first (good if we screw up the system partition). Just remove the battery and plug the phone to a computer.
On the adb drivers this line must be present, or you need to force install the drivers.
Code:
;CoolPad 8860u
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1EBF&PID_7001
In order to get your phone recognized under fastboot you need to feed this to the end of your fastboot command "-i 0x1EBF". Like this
Code:
fastboot <whatever you want here> -i 0x1EBF

[Q] P769 Booting Woes

I recently changed my framework-res.apk and now I'm stuck at the boot animation. I don't want to completely reset my device with a kdz. I've looked around and haven't found much about recovery. I have the original apk file, but I just need a way to push it. Anyone have a way?

Do you have cwm installed ? If not you can try: phone powered down , hold vol+ home + power, should bring up message saying something about service center..
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw, remount /system
rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
exit
adb push /path-to/orginal/framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb reboot
Thanks for the reply. I didn't read about CWM before this happened, otherwise this would be easy. I've held down every button combination at boot that I can think of and get nothing like that. When holding vol- + home + power I get an Android and a progress bar that causes the phone to reboot after no more than 10 seconds. Nothing shows up in the device manager during that time either.

I can get into fastboot through omap4boot. If I can get a cwm recovery img for my device I should be able to fix it.

fastboot + cwm recovery only works if you've unlocked bootloader
easiest way to restore your phone now is by s/w mode ,either lg tool or offline method
or "vol+ and home and power" and the rest from 2nd post in this thread

All you have to PRESS is volume down, nothing else.Merely press it because if you hold it down, it won't boot into recovery

I had cwm before i unlocked boot loader...install with 9 installer.apk and choose test version (stable version won't boot)..plus if you have a CWM backup( they r also in the forums as well) adb restore is 50 times faster than using LG Update tool.

Wh. I you see flashing LEDs..no flashing LEDs means no CWM if you don't have it( it comes and goes sometimes FM) try pushing recovery.IMG thru adb

there are two types of cwm recovery, one uses 2nd boot and other recovery partition , if bootloader is locked and phone won't boot you can't use neither and cwm backups are useless

As a young developer I HIGHLY recommend becoming very familiar with ADB, it saved a BUNCH of times on my Galaxy S...its great if you can get the hang of it, all commands are the same for all devices, the help section is sort of sketchy, but with a lot of trial and error, I picked it up nicely

Yes, I know how useful ADB is and use it frequently, but in my phone's state it's not starting and won't ever start.

The best thing to do (if you haven't done so already) is to flash the kdz (thanks cmahendra and everyone else for y'all hard work) and start from scratch. Second, install artas182x (thanks Artas!) cwm and make a backup. I had to learn the hard way too

To the OP i am currently in the same boat as far as not being able to boot and not being able to access adb. Have you figured anything out or are you still stuck? Before chimes in I do have CWM( the lights flash on reboot) but when i press the -vol button the phone does nothing.
Try connecting in s/w upgrade mode ( holding vol + while inserting usb to phone) it should load some drivers and you should be able to connect in adb. If not connect in every mode possible, to load any drivers(they will still load even though your phone isn't showing any signs of life as long as you have the installed LG drivers previously)

Hello Guys,
Yesterday I received my ATT LG E970 Phone, I was trying to remove ATT Apps from the phone. So, I did using ..

After pressing Power in Recovery Mode of Green Android the phone rebooted and It eneterd in "Team Win Recovery Project". I din't know what to do with it. After some searching I did a Factory Reset using Wipe button in "Team Win Recovery Project". and Rebooted but still Noting Happened. Phone restarted with Google Logo and there after nothing comes :S
After that I agin entered in Fast Boot Mode.. using Vol + and Power buttton together and eneterd in Recovery mode and again went to Wipe in "Team Win Recovery Project" and then Advanced and selected all folders and Deleted all. After that I rebooted using "Team Win Recovery Project" but it said NO OS INSTALLED.
I was totally stuck. I don't know what to do. Finally I slept with 8 hrs Messed. I woke up in morning and phone is not even Starting now. When I connect to Charger. Red Light Blinks in power button n then Goes OFF. and I tried connecting it to PC too via USB but again same happens. The PC didn't recognized the Phone. I also Tried in DEVICE Manger, but No use.

Hi,
dont panic, I went thru exactly the same process right up till the TWRP and wipe. All you need to do is get hold of the stock rooted rom zip from here:
Then copy it onto your sdcard, for which you can connect to the computer using Advanced menu of the TWRP, and load the sdcard, which will connect as USB storage to PC.
Then once file is on sd card, just go back to main TWRP meny and select install option, then select the zip file you just copied.
Let TWRP do its stuff, then do a factory reset / then go into reboot system.
Wish you all the best. Once the ROM has installed, now you can search for the latest TWRP, install it then go on to latest kit kat roms in exactly the same way.

hope he follows up with a thank you.

That file is stock firmware inside the zip is a .tot file that can be renamed to .bin and used with lgnpst to bring the phone back to stock. You would need to be able to get into download mode
again. If you do use the g33k3r file you would need to root again then use Freegee app from play store to unlock bootloader and install recovery.

ttp://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg/att/firmware/LGE970AT-00-V10o-ATT-US-SEP-29-2012-0.zip
I guess this is original ATT LG E970 Firmware. I will copy it into my external Memory Card and then will insert into phone. After that using TWRP I'll be going to use this Zip file and after that factory reset. Am I correct ? Do I need to follow different steps ?
Let me know. Moreover do I need to unlock Phone again? When I received it was already in Unlocked State. So installing the above link firmware will lock it again? Or should I proceed with the link I posted earlier, I mean this ..
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/g33k3r/LGE970AT-01-V20j-310-410-MAR-08-2013.zip
And Rename File to .bin instead of .tot and Make ZIP it again ?
Please let me know.

Sorry my bad , I was actually using nuts one . Same problem though, it just does not install and reboots directly in the operating system rather than going to the recovery after the first boot.
I'm not sure that you're pressing the right buttons at the right time. Try turning your phone completely off. Then power it on normally, and wait for the LED to turn on after about 5-7 seconds. As soon as it does that, hold only Volume Up until the LED changes colour, and you should get into recovery.
Edit: Ah, sorry, are you not getting it installed at all? Do you have the USB drivers installed and USB debugging enabled? And have you had a popup on your phone to allow the computer to connect with debugging?

yeah It did not install at all, and finally I have managed to install it using the custom kernel here at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714511 and all seems good.
Time to go on with the custom roms I assume, thank you all. And its great to have being switched to ZU!
try delete the following file
/system/bin/recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma
/system/bin/recovery.cwm.cpio.lzma
/system/bin/recovery.philz.cpio.lzma
/system/bin/chargemon
/system/bin/dualrecovery.sh
/system/bin/mr
then rename chargemon.stock and mr.stock to chargemon and mr, restart the phone and try install again
Make sure you're selecting option 2 if you rooted with easyroot.

Cant boot into TWRP 3.0.1.0 Manually

I installed no name rom and im getting a system UI has stopped working and i could never manually enter twrp I had to use an app to boot into recovery every time. Any advice on what to do
Manually
Power Off
Hold Volume Down
Hold Power
When at the LG Screen Let Go of Power for 1 second and then repress power
Go through prompts saying yes to them

Correct. Do not let go of the Vol Down Button until the white screen ask you if you want to reset. And answer YES to both questions.

IF you do have TWRP installed it will take you to it. If you dont then ... Good luck.
You can always download Terminal Emulator
Type in
Code:
su
Press Enter
Code:
reboot recovery
Press Enter
Instead of Terminal Emulator, You can download G-Script Lite.
Its basically just like Terminal Emulator but you can save commands like reboot recovery.
Its the only thing I really use it for since my Power Menu doesnt have the option yet.

I cant use my device at all. When it boots up i get system UI stopped working repetitively. I can boot into download mode and fastboot mode. i had TWRP installed and had no name rom running and booted into TWRP then did a data, dalvik and cache wipe and started getting this issue so i believe TWRP is still installed. Im running windows 10 and the LG Flashtool stops working while trying to read the phone information

Thanks for the reply,
I cant get to the twrp, when i press volumeup, the phone keep restarting,
what do you mean by "flash over new sipersu",
the problem, the phone keep restarting when i press VolumeUp+Down+power, then i release power, and keep pressing volumeUP+volumeDown,
but instead of going to twrp, the phone restart

I did, once i sense the vibration, i let go the power, and keep pressing on the volumeUp+down buttons, but the same issue
even if i only press the volumeUp button, it also restart instead of going to the twrp folder,
is there is any software, or other way to access it via pc, or something,

You can enter the fastboot mode and then re-flash the TWRP. After that, you reboot the phone and keep pressing the volumeUP button while it's booting. So that you can enter the TWRP.
My method is that I enter TWRP and then use "Advantage Wipe" to wipe cache and davik cache. Then, flash v2.64 of SuperSU and reboot system. It works.

hello,
so the threat is called how to root honor 7......and you only write about the SuperSU issue, not about the procedure how to root it.
what is the solution for rooting the H7 with android 6.0 build 380?
The right files for doing it like TWRP, IMG aso.
