LGE P970 V20* GB Rooting
Hello Everyone
I have noticed in a few threads there is alot of talk that people cannot root the new GB firmware from LG I fiddled with all the current versions out there and have now rooted them all. Thanks to Ilko and alot of stuffing around..
Firstly
IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICK OR VOID WARRANTY THIS IS INFORMATION ONLY Ok now the formalitys are over and done with.
If you already have the latest of Ilko's Upgrade kit good for you if not I suggest you get it now if you dont know where it is here is a link
http://forum.xda-dev.....php?t=1111771 now you have the neccessary tools to root your phone (theres also plenty of other awesome stuff in there too) we will start.
STEP 1. Go to the UPK file you created while installing Ilko's kit and Install all the drivers in the kit (even if your sure you have them it wont hurt to re-install) make sure your phone is unplugged at this time. Keep your UPK file open.
STEP 2. On your phone Goto Settings>Development and check USB Debugging
STEP 3. Now plug your phone into your computer DONOT mount USB Mass Storage
STEP 4. Go back to the UPK window and select SuperOneClick and open it.You may get a administrator rights popup make sure you allow or click ok whatever it says.
STEP 5. You need to make sure you do this in the right corner of the window of SOC (Superoneclick) there is a drop down that says exploit take it from auto and select gingerbreak because auto uses PSnueter and it has been patched in most cases and will not work.
STEP 6. Your phone should still be plugged in to your PC now is the good stuff make sure you read this carefully now cos you may brick your phone I havent done it personally but my brother has but he is pretty stupid.
STEP 7. Click ROOT in SOC and wait if it pops up with your device is already rooted would you like to continue click yes (this pops up if you have rooted your device before and also if theres a temp root on your device) now it will get to Rooting step 6 and hang maybe even it will stop responding at this point goto the UPK and open SRP and allow it to run your phone will reset and SOC will continue and say your phone is rooted do the test although it not necerssarry and it will confirm.
FINALE. Go to the apps and you should see Superuser (little skull thingy as the icon) Please thank me if I helped you also thank Ilko and Chains both great guys
Any questions please post I will reply and help as I can
Thanks Cuzzo-
