This tutorial is for the LG L5 II (E455/E460) and shall work on other LG phones too.
Many thanks to @iulykenoby who discovered this method.
To start, download a KDZ firmware for your LG E460 (and other phones) from here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php
Be sure to match the phone with the right kdz!!!
1. Download LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix.ZIP (attached)
2. Download USB Driver http://algmcdn.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425
If you can't boot anymore, enter into download/emergency mode and skip to step 5.
3. Put your phone in debugging mode (menu-Settings-Developer options-USB debugging).
4. Change your usb connection type to LG Software (menu-Settings-USB connection type)
5. Connect your phone to the PC and install USB Driver. After the installation disconnect and connect your phone again (to make sure it is detected).
6. Extract LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix.ZIP
7. Run B2CAppSetup.exe and let it install and update itself. You may be prompted to update your drivers.
8. If you've done everything correctly, you should see this:
{
"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"
}
9. Close the official LG Mobile Support Tool.
10. Open Notepad in Administrator mode. (Go to windows menu, type notepad and right-click and run in Administrator mode)
11. Open the hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc)
12. Add 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com at the end of the host file.
13. Save the file. If the "Save as" dialog opens, it means you're not running notepad in administrator mode and you can't modify the hosts file.
14. Go to windows menu, type cmd and right-click and run in Administrator mode.
15. Drag Automatic Offline Procedure.vbs over command prompt and hit enter.
16. Click OK
17. Click on windows enable icon in system tray to turn ON then click the dialog box OK.
18. Click Ok.
19. Make sure Type is set to 3GQCT and phone mode to DIAG. Select your KDZ file and click Normal web upgrade test.
20. Click on Upgrade Start.
21. Click on Clear phone Software update Registry and then click OK.
22. Software Update Procedure will start immediately. It will take some time to finish.
After the flashing procedure, don't forget to delete that line you added in hosts or else you won't be able to officialy update (online) your phone and you won't be able to download anything from lg. Also, a factory reset may be needed after flashing to avoid conflicts with the old app data.
Ohhhhhh thx mircea, work for me. The problem was on step 19, now it's all ok.

hey man thanks for the tutorial
I have a question though
what is the difference between version 10a, 10b, 10c ect
is it different firmware versions? can I flash a firmware from another country?
Is this official LG firmware?
Help me! My l5 e455 no more power
I followed all the steps and when the phone is not restarted, came in upload mode! Then I hung up and he did not start anymore!

Try booting again in upload mode. If I remember right it's: phone off and both volume keys pressed then introduce the usb cable. if you manage to boot in download mode, you can try to flash again. you surely didn't select the right kdz for your phone. be sure of your phone model and search for the right kdz for your phone. If you can boot in download mode nothing is lost, you can fix it.
Work

For root, the attached file should work (change it's extension from .zip to .exe). Instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337802
it will root with a chineese tool, but there you'll also find instructions to change it to supersu/superuser.

you can flash any firmware from any country as long as it is for your phone model. i recommend you flash a firmware that's not branded (for ex branded by orange) so you won't have extra software that will slow down your phone. on that website you will find firmwares for many phones. our phone (e460) received an update, that's why they are called "a" "b" "c".

thanks alot man just the answer I was waiting for.
Malware
I suggest that you run that VROOT program in a sandbox as it is full of Malware or wait till someone posts an open source root exploitation method.

I suggest you change your antivrus. On virustotal.com out of 43 antivirus apps only 1 found it as malware.

I and others used vroot and had no problem with viruses or such. Stop spreading false information.
Malware
Mircea,
I dont use or trust online scanners I prefer to use IDA and other tools to examine software. If you examine the software more closely you will find that it sends your PC information back to the author. It will also do an update check and install of the latest version automatically. It will also install an apk for a chinese file sharing site and multiple other files that he leaves in the phones system. I also rooted a test phone and it did root perfectly. I was not trying to scare people just give a little warning to be cautious when you install a program that has a primary interface language is not yours. I had no ill intentions just trying to make people aware of what I had found.

Yes, it installs a chineese apk because that's the root application (just like superuser). After installing supersu and deleting the chineese apk I scanned my phone with bitdefender and avg and found no malware.
You also can disable your internet before installing vroot on your computer, root your phone then uninstall it. Then you can scan your computer with any antivrus and antispyware software you want and you won't find a trace of Vroot. Before saying it's full of malware, you should prove it. I just proved with 43 antiviruses that it has no malware and all you're saying is you don't trust them. I also offered a solution to avoid sending information about your computer, IF that was the case. Also, using a sandbox just like you said is also ok.

After much searching plus trial and error I finally have rooted my Huawei Honor Holly -U19 phone successfully. I installed many drivers prior to it but don't know for sure which one did the trick for me. But eventually I figured it out. Hence, without further delay here is the exact process of rooting this killer phone. :angel:
Make sure you have the original data cable with you, though I used data cable of Samsung Note 2 it worked, hence, any OEM data cable should do the trick to be on the safe side use Samsung or Huawei supplied data cable only. :cyclops:
Steps to follow in the following series: :fingers-crossed:
1. Click on this link.
Here I've uploaded all the software/drivers that you would be needing to root. Hence download all the files in it to your computer.
2. After the download completes, install the apps and driver in the following series. [This is important]
ADB Installer 1.4.2
Handset_WinDriver_1.00.00.31
DriverAutoInstaller_v1.1236.00
Then,
iRoot 1.7.9.10454
3. Connect phone via USB
4. Bring down the notification panel and click on the USB icon
5. Enable USB Debugging and select storage as connect method. (Do not select MTP, Camera or CD Drive mode)
6. After selecting storage mode "Do not tap" on "Mount the storage as USB" button which is at the bottom of the screen. Doing this will make your memory card unavailable and the root process will also fail.
7. Open the iRoot app and let it detect your phone. Make sure you have an active internet connection, so that it can download the drivers and install it automatically. This causes you an additional download of about 30 MB. [Don't worry its all worth it] :good:
8. After that the iRoot will install 3 Chinese apps on your phone. Do not do anything with it, let it complete on its own.
9. If everything goes well you will see the green Root button. Click on it.
10. Make sure the phone is fully charged and you have UPS backup on your computer. Any interruption after you click the Root button in iRoot can make your phone unusable. So take huge precautions during the process. (You've been warned now)
11. Wait for 2 mins now and don't do anything. The phone will restart after the process is completed. You can see the ongoing status on iRoot itself.
12. After successful completion you will see the below screen on iRoot app on your computer screen.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
13. Your phone is rooted! :good:
14. Download SuperSU app from Play Store and install. Open SuperSU, the Chinese app will pop up so as to grant SuperSU root permissions or not, remember to tap the RIGHT button in the Chinese app which is a YES.
15. Download Root Cleaner and uninstall all the Chinese apps from your phone, you do not need them anymore now. :victory:
16. Update your SuperSU binaries and reboot the phone.
That's all. Enjoy!
[Showed me VCOM error during the last stage of driver installation in PC but it didn't affect the process. ]
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this! Seriously. I have tried various other methods but in vain. So thanks a lot
Now that the rooting part is over with, is there any way to get CWM for Holly? With CWM, life would be complete please kindly reply as fast as possible.

Did the above tutorial helped you to root your phone successfully?
And for the ClockworkMod part, there are currently no ROM for this phone, so better enjoy only the root features for now, instead of risking the bricking of phone. :fingers-crossed:

Okay. Will wait for it to come out then. Please let us know if anything new comes out for the holly. Its such a brilliant phone.
Sure dude, in the mean time you can download Gravity box to change your notification bar completely and add/remove icons in them. Give it a try, I am sure you will like it.

Welcome dude. It worked for you that was more than enough for me. :good:
Nabakumar.. Awesome man. Thanks for sharing your method with full details and required drivers and software. Really appreciate your efforts to root this device and more over to your share which will help others to root. ?
In my case, phone successfully connected.
After that while root is clicked, a chineese software pop ups on the screen (with the icon similar to google currents) and show a green diagram which shows its connected to PC.
Then immediately it immediately closes with th error "unfortunately 'chineese' stopped working "
I followed your steps correctly, but doubt about the stability of my PCs internet connection( i assume once it download drivers internet is not used)
Will be trying later once i get a new setter.
Can you share your thoughts on this error.
Have you faced such issue while your tries?

Nope, I have not faced this error while rooting and about the chines app which pops up with the mobile and phone connecting diagram, let me tell you that when there comes a popup with a reverse seconds timer, kindly tap the button which is on the right. I don't know what that option is bcz of the Chinese language but it did the trick for me. :fingers-crossed:
Having an active and non broken internet connection is a must for this process to work, since, iRoot does not come with bundled drivers for this phone in the setup.
Make sure about the internet and you will successfully root your phone. :good:

You need to have an active internet connection during the whole process of rooting, so that iRoot can download drivers. This is important. If iRoot can't detect your device, then you can't root it. Have a stable net connection and then try again. It will for sure work.
HI
I have an internet connection, and it is stable too. It connects to USB debug mode but USB Mass storage and MTP notification will not appear when i connect the USB to my laptop.
------------------------
Yaay!!
I did it. It took a hard reset for me.. After a reset i was able to root my device. Thanks mate... I can now use it to the extent..
One more submission, I was in mtp throughout the performance.
hi all i have purchased the Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50F and i have tried everything to root it and cant find a custom recovery for it anywhere..
EDIT::: finally got it rooted with twrp go here for a full guide on how http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/root-twrp-lenovo-tab-2-a8-50f-mt8161-t3226130 enjoy
can anyone shed any light on the subject..
SPECS:
MODEL: Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50F
CPU: MT8161 QC 1.3ghz 64Bit
DISPLAY: 8inch 1280*800 IPS
MEMORY: LP-DDR3 1GB
STORAGE: 16GB
OS: Android 5.0.2
thanks in advance..
EDIT: i have found the source code here http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/a-series/a8-50-2/downloads/DS102968
if anyone is intrested in jumping on the boat with me and trying to get this rooted let me know..
UPDATE::::
here is how to unlock the bootloader>>> THIS WILL WIPE THE DEVICE TO FACTORY SETTINGS
first enable usb debugging and make sure oem unlock feature is enabled in developer options.
download the minimal adb (attached)... Extract to desktop or wherever and then run MINADB.exe
in the terminal type adb reboot bootloader you will be rebooted to a black screen which says Fastboot Mode....
now in the terminal type fastboot oem unlock
press the up volume button when asked and WAIT
when its done it will show a menu of boot modes dont do nothing and in the terminal just type fastboot reboot
bootloader is now unlocked.. i am still working on rooting i am trying to find a way to dump the recovery and boot partitions but its proving extra difficult due to permission problems..
I'm in the same boat. I tried everything. I don't think there's a method available for this device yet.
well i am working on it i have done alot of work on new devices and manually figured a root method out.. firstly i need to try and find the source code for our tablet then i can try to get an unsecure boot image then other things will follow on from it..
I believe the source code is on lenovo's website. Idk if that's what you're looking for. http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/pro...,_tablet,_workstation_and_thinkserver_support

yes for other devices.. and i am hoping to find a way on this device but first i need a way to get a custom recovery working on it.. mtk droid tools is a handy place to start and its the best i had it wont root it but it sent me here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38337401&postcount=5 which happens to be an intresting read..
I too read up on that forum, but I'm not that well versed in Android development lol
lol... well its not so straight forward being that our tablet has a mediatek 64BIT processor.. when i owned the htc desire 510 (uk) it was the first phone with 64bit architecture but i was part of the community that managed to get it rooted after some gruelling hard work.. bad news is that this tablet will probably take quite some time crack.. :/ but i am working on it and i will post any progress on rooting it here..

Same here. I have only had my Tab 2 A8-50F for about a week. I am really liking this tablet. For the price it preforms rather well. Only thing keeping me from making a solid decision to keep it is the lack of Root. If I can't root it I might have to start looking for another device
what is so special about this tablet that it wouldnt be able to be rooted? geez.
I am working on a root but its taking longer than normal being the device has 64bit architecture and our chipset is unsupported across most mediatech tools out there oh and the fact it runs lollipop... Instead of thinking there is something special about it try an help yourselves by testing what is already out there and remember most root tools get updated often so keep an eye on them an keep trying until I can come up with something... I am working on it but these things take time when you have a full time job and 2 children t look after... Happy testing an if you find anything you think may help post it here or pm me... ???
Just got this tablet today, updated it from 5.0.2 to 5.1.0
Good device although the latest OTA (Aug 15) has some UI issues/bugs:
Squashes apps in landscape (most evident with Material Design apps like Play Books, Drive)
Completely breaks Lollipops notification bar coloring, just remains Black or changes to White (Google Translate is a good example)
Strangely the Chromecast icon now shows up permanently in any app that has support, never did this before.
Also, I didn't notice before whilst on 5.0.2 but 5.1.0 now has a "OEM unlocking - Allow the bootloader to be unlocked" toggle in the Developer options menu, is this any use?

ok so i have bricked my device hahaha although i have found out how to get it into preloader mode and it shows in device manager as an MT65xx preloader so if someone could follow this guide and backup there boot and recovery images i would be very gratefull and by providing the rom dump i can get mine unbricked and also get root easily..
could someone please do this for me out of good spirit and to help get root who ever follows the guide successfully at the link below and can provide the files i need will get full credit when it comes to releasing root and recovery..
(you must unclip the back off the tablet and remove a metal plate to unplug the battery befopre putting it into preloader/meta mode..

Tried it, no go.
I've rooted the s4, the original Kindle fire, some weird Motorola photon, both Nexus 7s, htc 8 & 9. All required unlocking the bootloader. Not sure how to do that with this phone. I turned on adb debugging, oem boot unlock.. I remember with the s4 I had to load a crap ton of stuff in kies... then something else to reset the knox flag.
The phone only has 8 gigs of internal storage, 5 of which is used up by the os. Not all games/apps want to move to the SD card and because Sammy decided that no one would like the option to have s spanned file system between internal and external storage, it has become somewhat useless. Xposed with obb on SD is the cure, but I need twrp and su.
I can't get this thing to even go to fast boot.. that just reboots the phone. Download I'd nominally more useful, but it wants files. Recovery allows adb side load.. that's about it.
It's a nice cheap phone, but I have just been avoiding manufacturers who lock the thing down, so I'm way out of the loop. Any pointers are welcome.

I've tried everything I know of. Thanks for keeping up with this page. Lets keep it alive, this is the only thread in existence that i've seen so far.
Isn't a rebrand of the Samsung j1? Maybe the instructions for rooting that would work for you guys I could be wrong but it was a thought when I seen this thread

I just had to give it a try myself, even though two other people claimed it didn't work. And they are right, it claims your phone is rooted, but it's not. Very aggravating. If it can't be rooted, it just can't be rooted....but why the heck does SRSroot claim their software will do it when in fact it will NOT?
I'm just disappointed if it can't be rooted, but it makes me angry to be lied to. And SRSroot lied. Makes me wonder exactly what their software actually put on my PC....since they can't be trusted. Now I have to waste even more time scanning and scrubbing my PC for whatever malware they wanted to install with their bogus software that does not work. And if it doesn't do what it claims to do, exactly what is it doing? No telling what their bogus software put on my phone, because it sure didn't root it. Despite claiming it did.

Dunno... I've seen references to j100a-h, j120a/sm-j120a seems different (not dual-sim, exynos processor).. dunno if the others are gsm-based.
Haven't seen any firmware replacements in case loading the partitions (or whatever Kies does) above through Kies is flat out wrong and messes with the radio.
My knowledge with Sammy's internals is rather lacking, and until that specific at&t model has a stable root (and twrp would be nice) I'm going to be a chicken about this.
I saw king root had a new release. May try that again. Will message if it's working.
you can try to root it from computer.. i ever heard about geniusroot.. but i never try it, hope this will work for you
i asked my best friend who knows alot more then i ever thought of and he said the best bet with the new samsungs is king root like yall have been trying or a program called iroot he talked about developer settings on the phone called oem unlock and usb debugging and download mode being volume down + home + power in his text message I think if you could get into download mode you should be able to use tools like odin or adb to push a recovery or get root access but that might take a developer or someone with more knowledge to use ota tools and dump a boot image and build a custom recovery or some advanced **** like that if someone hasnt already I'm sure xda university could turn up detailed steps to porting clockworkmod for now I guess its a waiting game for yall till more ppl end up with these devices in hand and some free time i included some files you may need with a grain of salt to get anyone started that turned up from a quick search for your device

Yes, if I could fastboot flash recovery twrp.img/cwm.img that would make life easier. However, the bootloader is locked, and generally one must unlock it... I cant even figure out how to get the phone to respond in fastboot mode.
I turned on adb debugging, and I can adb shell, adb push, adb reboot bootloader (which just reboots the phone), adb reboot recovery (which allows sideloading.. I think), and adb reboot download, which seemed the most useful.
I can't set adb to root, I can't mount system r/w so I can place/flash su/supersu.
Latest KingRoot did not work, havent seen iRoot before, looks like you have an md5 of the boot image in there, instead of the actual image...
Yeah. I'm clueless about this one. I'm sure its something stupidly easy.
i dont have the device so I cant hand it off to my friend or i would also i was wrong about the j1 as someone said but i do belive the amp 2 but searching specs the amp 2 looks to be a sister phone you might wanna keep up with the root options that may pop up for that only thing i was told was enabling usb debugging and the oem unlock option first in the developer settings like in the screenshot from that phone id look into maybe frama or towel that might work from the phone side idk just trying to help

Hey bro we appreciate the insight, we've tried this as a collective but to no avail yet. Our best bet is to keep trying different things until we come up with a working batch file unless kingo comes up with something. Thank you all for keeping the thread alive
Hi there... I just bought an MLS MORE 4G (iQL50) and there is great need of rooting it. I tried Kingo Root with no success. KingRoot too. I do have about a week of returning the smarthphone back to the shop but since its 16GB internal memory is so helpful, it would be nice to keep it, if rooting is possible without damaging something.
Specs for this particular phone are:
OS: Android 6
CPU: QuadCore 1GHz MTK6735P 64bit
RAM: 2 GB
Int.Memory: 16 GB
SIM Type: 2 x micro-SIM
Thanx in advance :good:

This is the url to download cwm+scatter file+flash tool.
Mega NZ folder
You will need also the supersu zip from Chainfire from the site: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu
The procedure:
Backup your data just in case.
Copy the supersu.zip on your internal memory.
Open the SP flashtool and browse the Scatter file on Scatter-loading, click on the recovery image the tick and on the right side it says Location, click on the empty green space on the recovery line and select the morecwm.img
Power off your phone
Press the Download button and connect the phone on your computer, after it completes and you get the Green download ok remove the cable
Press Vol+ and Power buttons and select the Recovery from the list.
Press install zip from sdcard and find the supersu.zip and flash it.
Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache and reboot the phone.
If it says that the device is not rooted when you press the reboot system just ignore it and press No, your phone is rooted.
It might reboot 1-2 times and it will probably take long time to boot.
If you need drivers go over THIS site and download the latest drivers. Install them and you are set.
Ok. Now I am in the middle of the whole process
Press the Download button and connect the phone on your computer
but I am waiting for more than half an hour to see anything. No progress bar or something.
Though, there is a folder on the PC with some logs
BROM_DLL_V5.log keep growing its size...
Now what?
Update: A timeout error came up!

Your phone is powered off right?
Try to download and install the drivers I told you on the previous post.
Yes, phone was powered off. I installed the drivers, rebooted, then did what I did. But strangely, when connected my powered off phone, windows tries to install an "MTP USB Device" with no luck.

Try with the SP flashtool open and the Download waiting connect the phone when its powered off.
Get the battery out and try again, it has to install the driver. When it does it will download the recovery.
When the phones is powered off it shouldn't recognise it as MTP USB Device.
Otherwise, power on the phone, plug it and let it install the first drivers and later power it off and try again.

Hello mate, you have just to enable and connect to a WiFi network and update your device via the "MLS Updater" app which is already installed in your phone.
Otherwise you have to disable chrome from settings-apps-chrome. The push notifications and advertisements are a chrome safety issue because the chrome app was pre-installed and is missing important component updates.
So, try the MLS updader or disable the pre-installed chrome and download again from playstore.
Hope that it helps

The only option play store gives is to enable chrome again, and update it. I don't think this could work...
