How do I use this?



Please read the whole directions here carefully. If you miss a step, or you copy the wrong command and run it, your phone will be BRICKED. You will have flashed a partition to some random place on your phone's internal SD, and no amount of sad private messages will be able to help you.

I'm 100% serious, if you do this wrong, you will turn your phone into a paperweight - so please don't go rooting your mom/dad's phone with this method. Wait for something better from us.



Ensure you have the proper drivers for your phone. If you don't, download and install the proper driver below.

Code: All G4 (except Verizon) - http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime...Ver_3.14.1.exe Verizon - http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime...QL_v2.22.0.exe Open this forum link and keep it up in another tab. We'll refer to it again in step 6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772 (and while you're at it, give the op there a thanks!) Download the appropriate files for your phone from the section below. Make sure to grab the Send_Command tools (named LG_Root.zip below) Extract the tar.gz file you downloaded for your phone, and move the resulting "system.rooted.phonemodel.img" file to the root of your phone's internal SD card with MTP mode. Do not rename this file, or move it into any folders. If you don't get a file named "system.rooted.phonemodel.img" DO NOT continue. You need to properly extract the file. On the page you opened in step 2, follow steps 1,2,3,6,7,8,and 9 on that page only, then come back here.

Ensure that on step 9, you use the right COM port. Type "id" and press enter (no quotes).

You should get back some text starting with "uid=(0)root gid=(0)root". If not, press CTRL-C, and do step 9 again (the application sometimes doesn't respond on the first command). Run the command specified in the section below titled 'Commands to Run' to flash the rooted system image. After a few minutes of sitting, you should get back a "#" prompt. This indicates the process has finished. Type "LEAVE" (no quotes) and press enter. Your phone should reboot, and your phone will be rooted.

Now that you're rooted,, if you accidentally take an OTA, you might not be able to roll back or fix it.You can also delete the system.rooted.modelnumer.img from your phone's internal SD card to save some space.
