After searching a guide about this on internet for weeks (without any result), i decided to post my own guide about Permanently Rooting a L9 II mounting KitKat (it also include two little scripts made by me, to simplify the process to newbies) :good:
Code:
[COLOR="DarkRed"]DISCLAIMER: I DONT TAKE ANY RESPONSABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE[/COLOR]
P.S: You need ADB to be installed on your Computer.
1)Install TowelRoot (go to TowelRoot website with the L9 II and press the red Lamba, it will start the tr.apk download)
2)Open the "TowelRoot" application and press "make it Ra1n"
3)Install "Super User" and "Total Commander" from PlayStore
4)Enable "USB DEBUG" in "Developement" setting's
7)Download "init.engdo.post_boot1.sh" and place it in C:
6)Download and open Permanent_D605_KK_Root_Part1.bat
7)Open "Total Commander" , go into /system/etc/ , delete the original "init.engdo.post_boot.sh" and rename "init.engdo.post_boot1.sh" to "init.engdo.post_boot.sh"
8)Download and open Permanent_D605_KK_Root_Part2.bat
9)Enjoy
If anybody will ask for it, i'll upload a standalone .exe to do all this
P.S: I'm kinda new to XDA and English is not my motherlanguage, sorry about any mistake i could've made

When i try to push file init.engdo.post_boot1.sh with root_part1.bat CMD says: remount failed: Permission denied or failed to copy C:/init.engdo.post.boot1.sh to /system/etc//init.engdo.post_boot1.sh : read-only file system
Much easier instruction.
Most of the instruction in the first post is unnecessary.
1) you do NOT need any computer at all
2) no USB debug needed (because you do not need a computer)
3) two .bat files are also unnecessary to download
All you have to do is to replace init.engdo.post_boot.sh file, which resides in /system/etc
You DO need:
1) towelroot installed
2) a file manager with root capability (I used Root Explorer for example)
Instruction:
1) download the init.engdo.post_boot1.sh, using the link in the first post- download it to your phone SD
2) open the file manager with root permissions enabled, /system/etc must be accsessible for read/write
3) copy init.engdo.post_boot1.sh to /system/etc (using the file manager running on your phone)
4) delete init.engdo.post_boot.sh in /system/etc
5) rename init.engdo.post_boot1.sh that you copied to /system/etc to init.engdo.post_boot.sh
6) reboot
All this is great! But, you forgot one important thing:
TOWELROOT does not work on version 20D (which is increasingly represented)
But here you have an explanation for v20D so who wants to try:

forgetting...
I did not know the 20D issue so I also could not have forgotten it.
Thanks for info. I just checked, indeed, I have 20A. Towelroot and the permanent root trick work in my case.
Thanks for the feedbacks
I know it can be done more easily using a file manager on the phone, but i tried to make the process easier for newbies (I'm still a newbie too, i did it for myself because i was lazy, but i decided to post it , hoping to help someone )

Mmmm strange, are you sure you have SuperSU installed, and TowelRoot started before restarting? (TowelRoot's Root disappear after reboot, and so SuperSu binaries)
the question is ... WHY?
I want to point out that I did permanently root my D605 with KitKat. Took a bit of effort but actually it was wasted time.
I did finally go back to 4.1.2 software, rooted it, installed TWRP and then Varcain's modified Cyanogen 11. It is so much nicer than rooted stock 4.4.2. All the efforts of rooting Kitkat and keeping the root were unnecessary exercise.
Because the Varcain's image does not have any bloatware I could even switch from Dalvik to ART and still have enough free space on phone.

15. mount you phone again to your pc and create a new folder on the root of your sd card called new build, and create another folder called old build.
16. download the two build.prop files supplied in my download link and save it to your pc's desktop.
17. now open the build folder on your desktop and you will see two files, one called build.prop.claro and another called build.prop.vivo.

33. accept the terms and follow the instructions... (it will ask you to put your phone in recover mode by turning off your phone and pressing the back button while plugging in your phone via usb) you can make this process quicker by simply already having your phone plugged in and simply pressing and holding the top power button+back button+home button until the green light remains on.
34. the program will tell you that there is new software available for your phone
35. install and enjoy 2.5
Extras step to making the experience even better!
i personally don't like the boot animation of the new 2.1 update and would rather not have the claro operator logo at the boot startup. the way to do that is:
root your phone again by following my instructions earlier, and install the root explorer.apk file again from your sd card. once your have root explorer installed and working navigate to SYSTEM and then to MEDIA. in media you will see a bootanimation.zip file, simply delete it.
Now for removing bloatware (operator specific applications):
to remove application that may be of annoyance, just go into root explorer again and navigate to SYSTEM and the to APP and dele and .apk files that are programs like ei: claro.apk... make sure you press the r/w button whenever you want to delete or overwrite something in SYSTEM. And be aware that if you don't know what your doing, you can brick your phone. SO BE CAREFUL!
And finally, as most would already know, this is all at your own risk. Sometimes its better to leave these types of hacks alone if you don't know what your doing.
I take no responsibility or credit for any of these hacks. thanks to all the members on XDA Developers for your support and help.
There are steps to make it simpler ... which is independent of the version they have in the cell (2.1 Uk or other ... 1.6) is achieved by having the American firm ... thus reduce it without diminishing the tutorial: alex0983
1. Planet app install
2. Find and install z4root
3. Permamente root install and follow instructions, the phone will reboot ...
4. In Planet app also find the Root Explorer and install ...
5. Connect the phone and copy the build.pro (Claro) to the SD and disconnect
6. Open root explorer and if I get a message to: super user ... allow him ....
7. mounted R / W. ... go the SD route where the build.prop copy and recopy this time from root explorer and find the path: / system and replace the phone ....
8. Turn off the phone ....
9. Connecting to Seus and select repair ...! and ready ... your phone now is American again! And firmware 2.1
10. To remove things Claro, just make the points 1,2,3,4! then the path / system / media to copy the boot loader found in the forum and in the path / system / app to delete the applications they say. clear (remember to mounted R / W)
I hope you find it useful! And that worked for me! Obviously, thanks to your tutorial alex0983 which also served me as a whole, but I found the quickest way!
Sorry for my bad english!
re:
hey no problem, i'm glad you found it useful. Sorry for the 35+ steps... I just wanted to make it easy to follow for people who had never done something like this before. Just trying to help ppl.
Actually the tutorial is very well prepared but no longer so necessary to the root from the phone! And for that we are in the community to help and facilitate the process to other users!
Kudos for you alex0983 and kloriahdez, thanks for your posts!!!

Hi
I have 2.1 update 1 version
Should this procedure work with this or it won't work
If not, how to root the phone?
I mentioned that kingoldstyle had the same problem. I also updated the phone prior to doing this procedure.
So, maybe kingoldstyle can help me with rooting?
How to use flashing tools?

Hey, guys. I'm a newbie / junior at XDA. My english is not so good. My posting is easy to do. Just need your careful. What are we need is
Rooted Devices
Root Explorer
Framework files (framework-res.apk)
X-Recovery (Of Course)
A thanks button for me haha
reframe.sh from propc
i make this post because i ever had this problem. When i want install framework, my phone is not boot (anyway!), so i checked the problem and i get if my memory is 8.43 free left. (my system use 197.57 mB...
Follow this step:
(Thanks to propc
1-copy framework-res.apk that you want to replace to the root of your sdcard (make sure it's in root)
2-extract reframe.zip(attachment) to root of your sdcard
3. Use root explorer to delete the real framework-res.apk (If you still want to use your old framework, copy it to somewhere for future. )
4. Your phone will reboot. Enter to X-Recovery.
5. Go to partition tools--> "Mount \system" and "Mount \sdcard"
6. Open your Adb shell and type this
Code:
cd /sdcard
sh reframe.sh
(You don't need to type su again haha.. )
7. Finished. Of course, your phone can't reboot. Reboot manually.
If you like, give a thanks button to me

Now, people are wondering if it's possible to root from OTA/kdz update (like we originally rooted stock JB). In theory it should be. Basically what I did with this root fix is I've added one line to one of init scripts (which all run with root permissions). This line is starting the install-recovery.sh script (which is provided with SuperSU zip package). With KK it's not enough to just drop su binary to /system/xbin - you also have to start daemon (as root). Whatever rooting method you are trying to use has to add a line to one of startup scripts which starts the SuperSU script. If one such method is found please post here, I will also update the OP.

After your phone will reboot in cwm mode.When i did it rebooted automatically with an error:HW reset was detected.Dont worry just press the turn on button for 20 sec and the phone will reboot without giving that error again.
Big thanks to szymel00 a user of a polish android forum.
The link for the zip: (http://d-h.st/2kk)
Tested without any virus.
I didn't have to flash anything
I used the app KingRoot(not in appstore). It just rooted and it was just done. Later that day it rooted jelly bean version as well.
PS! You have to allow unknown sources when running apk-s from outside play store.

Hello fellow xda members, I have used many other sites but haven't been on xda since my droid bionic days... I didn't give up on the v10, i contacted tung and here we are!
Any hoo the method was created by the 6th_Hokage for the boost stylo and it works with a little tweaking on our devices.
Follow the prerequisites from his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-stylo/how-to/guide-xposed-boost-stylo-5-1-1-t3192494
Here they are for quick glance
Required:
Root
Busybox installed on the device: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....busybox&hl=en
Script Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...tmanager&hl=en
Package needed Xposed Boost Stylo.zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347813218
Extract the stylo zip to the root of your internal storage
you should see the installer script file and the xposed zip package
download corresponding xposed zip and installer apk
(v80sdk22arm64) and (3.0 alpha 4)
rename the v80sdk22arm64.zip to the v72 found on the root of the sd from the Xposed Boost Stylo.zip
then run it following the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-stylo/how-to/guide-xposed-boost-stylo-5-1-1-t3192494 by kakashi aka the6thhokage
5- Open Script Manager and navigate to the installer file (script) and chose script, su then press save .
6- now select the same script and press run and choose the option according to what you want (Yes/No)
7- Wait for the script to finish, now go to Xposed Installer apk that you installed before and select soft reboot (it will turn off just power back on)
8- After restart and you may use Xposed properly
soft reboot and there ya go! Ill add more stuff when I get time
thanks peter muzyka
hey the errors don't hinder it and use kernel auditor to set permissive on boot. I also would like some coffee funds if you feel the need paypal [email protected]
I get this error message when I try to install
it should continue to run, make sure you renamed the xposed zip to the same name as the one in the file and have it placed on the root of your internal storage
I renamed the file and put the folder in the internal storage
As a zip not folder all on the root of the sd. I'll make a all in one after I get with romracer and 6th hokage
got it working. thanks.
@THADDIUS25
Like superdallas said, you must put the files from zip into root of internal storage. your screenshot is showing you put the files under "Xposed+Boost+Stylo V2"
Also did you download v80sdk22arm64 then renamed it? you can find download link from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Need to fix Google Play Store links =)
I just used the steps in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/install-xposed-framework-to-lg-spirit-t3226809
Clearer steps by playadru182 below: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66015228&postcount=48
Also, if anyone is getting a second screen error when making calls after installing xposed. Don't forget to follow @tattedup 's tutorial on second screen fix.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/xposed-fixes-screen-t3246515
It doesn't continue to run in my case, it just shows it can't create /proc/self/fd/
Like this?
http://imgur.com/A1FbNtS
Yeah, it does exactly like that.
Make sure Busybox is installed. As in, run the the Busybox app that you downloaded from the Play Store and install it from there.
Yeah busybox isn't installing properly for some odd reason I believe. It does not run like it usually does.
It doesn't say installed when you tried installing it?
https://imgur.com/JTfuKST
It does say installed....
What fixed it for me was either installing Busybox (I forgot ^^ or using the Terminal Emulator way that I mentioned in my comment to the OP.
When I did that it said no such file or directory
When you entered "su" then "sh /sdcard/installer" in the emulator?
Unlike the OP here that says to put the files in the root folder, put it in the /sdcard folder then try it.
I put it in the folder, but still, no such file or directory.
-------THIS GUIDE IS NO LONGER NEEDED------
If your on a rootable version follow the guide and instructions to install a pre rooted Firmware, with Rbox's custom recovery.
This I supposed was good to use to have SuperSU before we had any type of recovery.
-----UPDATED V3-----NEW DOWNLOAD LINKS-----
*PLEASE READ THROUGH THE FULL GUIDE BEFORE STARTING.*
FIRE STICK Replace King/o Root with SuperSU v3.
Thanks @joojoobee666 for his suggestions on layout of the guide to try make it more understandable to folk and also to incorporate a step into the script to make it a little easier still.
First off i am not responsible for your device, if you want to wait for a custom recovery (if one is even being made) that is your choice. Ive spent 2 days trying all possible ways to accomplish this and made it as easy as i could for you.
REMEMBER GUYS, the process for this to work is root with KINGOROOT - reboot-root with KINGROOT - reboot - run the commands - uninstall KINGOROOT. Failing to follow the order of the steps could soft brick you.
Prerequisites
Fire Stick
Fire OS 5.0.5 (if your on anything other than 5.0.5 use my other guide to downgrade to 5.0.5 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/development/fire-tv-stick-downgrade-firestarter-3-2-t3399298 ) dont forget to block updates again.
An understanding that 2 separate root programs are used in this guide KINGO ROOT and KING ROOT.
Installation Procedure :
You must follow these steps exactly as they are here, any deviation from this could cause you to brick (which is undo able so dont worry too much)
If you are not already rooted you need to root with KINGO ROOT. Once rooted reboot your Fire Stick. download it from here :
https://root-apk.kingoapp.com/kingoroot-download.htm
Your now able to follow the guide after you Root with KINGO ROOT.
Procedure
1.) Download the rar file containing the scripts and APKS:
http://www.filedropper.com/firestickroot_2
http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=73723140467469181970
http://www.megafileupload.com/7nfv/firestickroot.rar
2.) Extract the file pack in the rar to /sdcard on your Fire Stick, PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK THIS. YOU NEED TO HAVE THE FOLDER STRUCTURE CORRECT OR IT COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS. YOU SHOULD HAVE /SDCARD/FIRESTICKROOT/CONTENTS . Inside the firestickroot folder you will see KING ROOT, install this and open it. Grant any permissions to it and let it take over root. When its finished, reboot your Fire Stick.
3.) Open an ADB Shell connection to the device. You should now see a prompt like this:
[email protected]:/ $
4.) Run the "su" command and choose "Allow" when prompted by KINGROOT on the screen. If successful, you should now see the following in the terminal:
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ #
5.) Run the following command:
sh /sdcard/firestickroot/root.sh
if successful you should see something similar to this
[email protected]:/ # sh /sdcard/firestickroot/root.sh

-----------Your Welcome--------------
6.) Run the SuperSU application, go to settings and un-check Enable Superuser then re-check it.
7.) Reboot the device (either hold play and select or run "reboot" from the ADB Shell prompt)
8.) Open ADB Shell once again and run "su". This time you should see the SuperSU prompt asking to allow the ADB Shell process to run as root.
9.) Uninstall KINGOROOT
10.) If you have any reminents of KING ROOT installed uninstall them, if it wont let you uninstall, re-install KING ROOT but DONT OPEN IT! then you can uninstall it.
IF YOU RUN INTO SOFTBRICK ISSUE (stuck at fire tv logo)
Make sure you have ADB drivers properly installed in your windows pc/laptop.
connect a genuine usb lead to the firestick/pc.
download the windows version of KINGO ROOT and install it.
open KINGO ROOT on the pc with Fire Stick connected up to pc and tv.
wait for the button to pop up and click root.
if you dont see AFTV or get enable debugging in the KINGO ROOT program on pc/laptop please unplug the stick from usb and replug it back in.
if this still wont work restart the pc/laptop or try another pc/laptop.
you should after clicking root boot back up into your homescreen, if it doesnt boot back into your homescreen automatically, wait around 5 minutes and unplug usb and re-plug it again.
Thumbs up if ive helped
If anyone can make use of another app from chainfire, Flashfire, as it now will work with chainfires Su binaries installed. The app allows for backup/flash all partitions/install zips etc. Im not sure if its fully working or maybe an older version might?
Anyway ill leave that for anyone who might want to test that app out.
*IMPORTANT*
If you still cant seem to manage this, delete he associated KINGOROOTS SUPERUSER manually, then right after you have installed KINGROOT and rebooted navigate to /system/xbin and delete the file daemonsu. When the script finishes run it a second time, if you dont get chainfires SuperSU installed manually install it. This is included in the script to carry out this task but seems it wont work for everyone.

Ive re done the guide made it much simpler, spent 2 days on it trying all ways to brick my device in the process and could not brick it no matter how hard i screwed up.
This newer guide should work 1st time if followed correctly, and you will be shot of Kingo/o Root.
Im real sorry but to make a custom recovery is a little beyond me.

*Update*
I am not responsible for your device, if you want to wait for a custom recovery (if one is even being made) that is your choice. Ive spent 2 days trying all possible ways to accomplish this and made it as easy as i could for you.
The guide has been re done again by myself as it was far too long and although there was zero chance of bricking (with the use of Kingo Roots windows tool) ive put v2 together which is much simpler and all in a single script you will have no chance of any brick, with success the first attempt
This guide is for Fire Stick 5.0.5, you need root access with KingRoot, so if your rooted with Kingo Root please update your root app with the KingRoot apk in this pack, it will take over your Kingo Root and use King User.
Please note, you must root originally with Kingo Root, restart then Re-root with KingRoot then restart again, if not you will find that after a restart you will get unrooted.
Also be aware, if you have followed this through and still after a restart you are unrooted navigate to /root/system/xbin and delete the file daemonsu, then try again.
Download the pack here : http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=02940258229221060594
Extract it in your Fire Sticks /sdcard directory.
You should have a folder in your Fire Sticks /sdcard directory called firestickroot.
Ive noticed myself that if im at the standard fire tv stick launcher sometimes king/o root fails to grant permissions so for the next step be aware and maybe have firestarter/app starter launcher loaded up.
Connect your Pc/Laptop/terminal to your fire stick and type the following commands. (grant permissions to all)
su
sh /sdcard/firestickroot/root.sh
Thats it, the script will remove KING ROOT and all associated files and install su binary and SuperSU apk.
Once you restart make sure you are using ChainFires SuperSu and uninstall Kingo Roots stuff.

I removed the com.kingouser.com package manually and was able to install the Superuser APK but when I run Superuser, it says the SU binaries are not installed. I've reinstalled KingRoot for now but this script is NOT bullet proof. I'm not sure exactly what state this is leaving me in but root seems to be working again after reinstalling KingRoot. Should I be completely removing KingoRoot BEFORE running this script? If so, the instuctions hould mention it. As of now, I'm afraid to do so for fear of bricking this thing. Any thoughts?

As the guide says if you have problems navigate to /system/xbin and delete daemonsu
First make sure you are rooted with KINGO ROOT - reboot
Second install the KING ROOT apk in the pack you downloaded and placed in /sdcard. let it take over root and should install its own King User apk. - reboot
Third step :
su
sh /sdcard/firestickroot/root.sh
The script is no way bulletproof but it works, if anyone would like to moddify it to better suit Fire Stick that would be great. As for bricking, i understand that nothing is 100 percent fail proof as in root etc but the way this script is set out ive tested it for 2 days uninstalling root re installing king/go in different combinations and could not brick my stick, i got a few restarts but that was all. The v1 guide i did had higher chance of bricking (trust me i tested the crap out of it) and everytime my stick failed to boot i plugged it into my laptop and ran either kingo or king root windows versions and it re rooted and got me back up and running, everytime.
I tried all different combinations to try brick and not be able to bring it back but always did.
The v2 guide here what your using i couldnt get my stick to brick once.

I initially WAS rooted with Kingo, re-rooted with King and rebooted, then ran script. But it FAILED to complete so I didn't try the removal of deamonsu since it never completed. Is that going to fix the error I received when installed Superuser.apk? That error seems to be unrelated to the leftover daemonsu as it's in regards to a conflict with packages installed from KingoRoot. Review of the scripts shows that they in NO WAY remove that application (com.kingouser.com) so I imagine I will end up in the same spot....If I get there. I'm currently stuck on "fireTVstick" logo after trying to Re-Root with Kingo as you suggested. I don't think this looks very good...

OK, run the windows version of KingoRoot on your pc/laptop. if it fails first time unplug usb then plug it back in and it should root you and get you back up and running.
Its failing to complete because the daemonsu file is there. Delete it and the script will finish and uninstall KingRoot.
Nowhere in the guide says you must install SuperSU apk, the script does this for you. All you should be left with when it completes is KingoRoot and a newly installed SuperSU apk v2.01

Everytime i run the script it works and if it wasnt for the fail safe of Windows Kingo Root i would not of put the guide up.

Hmm...I'm not having any luck with the KingoRoot windows app. It's not even getting to the point where it can fail. "Connecting...Please enable USB Debugging mode" is where it's getting stuck. If I remove the fire stick and plug it back in, nothing happens in the program. It still just sits at that screen. I can adb into it but I do not get root (of course). Should I maybe relflash the 5.0.5 update.bin I have sitting on the SD card (if possible)?

Just restart the KingoRoot app and plug unplug firetick and plug it back in, it will eventually detect it.
If not, run kingroot windows tool if that works then ok, if not dont close it open kingoroot up and then try, you will get it detected it happened to me a few times when i did v1 guide

I think I've done all that over 10 times, same thing keeps happening. The one thing I have gotten twice is a window titles "Notification" that explains that I will need to allow debugging on the device for the app. Obviously, I cannot do that.

If it wont start up in a few minutes yes just unplug and plug it back in.

Let it sit there a while, will probably go to optimising screen.
If it wont re root it with Kingo/king on pc and dont restart after, just let it sit and it should go to optimising screen.
