[Q] Recovery Mode on LG Optimus L90 (D415)

I'm trying to root my T-Mobile L90 as per this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732311
But T-Mobile has locked out Recovery Mode so that button combinations and "adb reboot recovery" do not work.
Does anybody know of a way that I can remove this restriction or force recovery mode?

I think the newer LG phones like this use:
adb recovery
not
adb reboot recovery like every other device out there...

I tried this, no dice. ADB simply spat out a list of accepted commands and arguments.

My bad, I got it mixed up. It's:
adb shell
reboot recovery
I don't have the phone and just remembered something about it from the other day. Found this for you:
http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-root-lg-l90.html

I have used abd shell to try and run both "reboot recovery" and "reboot bootloader" commands, to no avail.
That link is an identical rooting guide to the one I linked, it doesn't have any information about dealing with T-Mobile devices locked out of recovery mode =(

Hmm. Thought that was the whole point of having to use those commands because 99% of other phones get to recovery just from:
adb reboot recovery
only.
I found another thread that explained it's an issue with just some Tmo and Metro versions. Weird. They aren't like that on their premium phones but more...mid grade ones they are? Doesn't make much sense.

So is it not possible to root the t-Mobile L90??

Not that I've seen posted anywhere. I believe that the L70 for Metro and Tmo suffer from the same issue.

I got the recovery working, all i did was flash twrp through flashify once rooted with toweroot and did the factory reset method (hold power and volume down them realease power and hold again) and factory reset (didnt actually reset just went to recovery.?.) and boom in recovery

towelroot no longer works on D41510E

You would have to downgrade your firmware version to 10c first to root using TowelRoot (the easiest method). Then you can use the LG Flash Tool and the 10c kdz to do so. After the flash completes, TowelRoot will work. Then put the twrp on your sd card (preferably the phone sd) and follow the steps in the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770938&page=156 post #1560
Took me some time, but now my phone is rooted. OH, and don't forget to disable OTA updates:
You can do this by dialing the following code: 3845#*415#
Having entered the system menu, scroll to WLAN Test.
Select OTA Setting option and turn it off by tapping the Disable button.

My Anti Virus thinks Towelroot is infected..whats up with that?

Because TowelRoot alters the system to enable root. Any program which modifies system files that is not specifically anti-virus software is usually seen as a virus.

Because it's a hack. Very common with apps like that and over aggressive AV programs. Long as you got it from the official site, the warnings mean nothing and are just an annoyance.

[How-To] Root and unlock the bootloader of the Nexus 4/5 without wiping data

This is a tutorial on how to root and unlock the bootloader of the nexus 4 without wiping any data!
Note: I'm not responsible for any damage on your phone! You choose to do these modifications and you are responsible for any problems!
I tested this on Android 4.4.3, but you may try it on other android versions, too. Please report if it works
Devices you can root using this app:
- Nexus 4: 4.4.3, 4.4.4
- Nexus 5, 4.4.3
1. Install the towelroot app (xda thread) from the project site! Please thank geohot, he made this possible!
2. Open the app and click on "make it ra1n"
3. Wait 15 seconds and the phone will reboot!
Congratulations! Your phone is rooted now!
4. Install either SuperSu or Superuser
a) In the app update your binary the "normal way" (without a custom recovery)
b)
1. Install BootUnlocker for nexus devices to unlock your bootloader! In the app, click "unlock" to unlock it!
2. Now you are able to install a custom recovery like TWRP or cwm
3. Boot up your system again, open SuperSu or Superuser and update the binary (using "TWRP/CWM")
This is it! You're rooted now and you can easily unlock/relock your bootloader using the BootUnlocker app without wiping any data
Note: This was not my work! I just wrote down some steps to root and unlock
How to unroot:
1. Reflash the stock recovery image/stock kernel/etc (only necessary if you are running a custom kernel/recovery/etc)
2. Open BootUnlocker and lock the bootloader. Now you are able to uninstall the app!
3. Open SuperSu -> Settings -> Full unroot. This will unroot your phone and the app will automatically be uninstalled.
4. Reboot and done

noob clarifications
Hey, came across your post in another post where you mentioned this method would prevent the posibility of the phone being wiped when unlocked + rooted via "traditional" methods using a PC w SDK etc. Phone at present is locked, unrooted stock Nexus 4 kitkat 4.4.4 stock.
Just wanted to clarify a few points since this is the first time I've come across a method where the phone is rooted and unlocked from within itself (I've rooted and unlocked a HTC desire back in my heydays).
--- Do I need to unlock the phone if I just want to change the kernel from stock to the Matr1x kernel? (I had taken unlocking as a given as it was the first step in every guide - there is no mention of steps on how to actually install the kernel but I was going to research that process once root and unlock was done successfully)
--- Any chance you can give steps on updating the binary the 'normal' way? (never done this before)
--- How do you install CWM using your method? Again, I have only seen it being installed via command lines from the PC
Apologies in advance for the dumb questions but searched and couldn't find any clear answers for those steps that I'm not understanding

1. To flash a kernel you have to unlock your bootloader, that's right. You just flash it using your PC and fastboot, there are many guides on how to do that
2. If your phone is rooted and you have SuperSU installed there'll be a popup and it'll tell you to update the binary before using the app. You are able to select the "normal" way then without a recovery
3. You can install CWM/TWRP using your PC in fastboot mode!
No problem, just ask :good:

Can the usual commandline methods for other things be used after this?

If you mean fastboot commands for example to flash another kernel/recovery/etc, yes! There's no difference between unlocking using this method or another "old" one, but this one doesn't wipe data

yes. can also be used flashify to flash recovery.img without PC

I think I'll give it a try then (assuming there's no risk of bricking my phone or doing irreversible damage). On that subject, is there an easy way to lock the bootloader and unroot?

I tested this on Android 4.4.4... it works fine!
Note: with TowelRoot v3 it isn't necessary reboot, but when I've tried to update SuperSu it fails so reboot and that's all
Thanks so much!

I apologize for asking so many questions but what exactly is "updating the binaries". Is that just for the app itself or does it do something to the phone?

It updates the superuser binary that got installed by Towelroot I guess

Thanks, for the average user who doesn't use custom roms or anything really crazy, is super su or Superuser a better option? Or is it the same more or less? Thanks

These two are basically the same, as they are apps to manage the superuser permissions of other apps. You may use the one you like

That was easy
Of course I don't see this thread unitl after I spent the last hour setting everything up in Ubuntu to root the old fashioned way! Used this and was rooted in no time.

ota updates affected or not?
does using this towelroot will affect the ota updates i.e. if any ota update comes will i able to install as in the stock rom...?? please clarify this...

see towelroot only roots your device.
You can get OTA PROVIDED - You dont change any of the stock files.. Nothing should be changed.

Rooting 26A

Hey guys,
First to let you know, I was a victim of the latest brick. I got a warranty replacement (don't ask). The phone came in today. The only reason why I want root is to be able to use the mobile hotspot. I'm still grandfathered into unlimited. I don't want to flash or do a custom ROM or a custom recovery. I like the stock ROM. I just only need root to do the mobile hotspot.
Anyway, so on to my situation. I downloaded ioroot, installed the latest drivers, enabled everything, allowed the RSA fingerprint. I ran the root.bat file and it didn't make it through the first step. ADB said it was rebooting phone into stock recovery...except it didn't. I've tried it now 3 times and I get the same result....green android with the red exclamation.
Am I stuck until someone figures out root on a 26A? I read that it should work but haven't read anywhere if someone has successfully rooted 26A out of the box. Is there something I can do to bypass? Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Stump root is supposed to work on 26a.
Sent from my VS980 4G

Yup...no sooner then I posted this, I read a thread on stump root. Trying it now.

Just to update...I have full root by the stump root method. Was a lot easier then expected. I prefer this method way more then the ioroot method.

Were you able to get recovery installed. I ran into the same situation you did after my son took the update on his phone while it was rooted. If so what recovery method did you follow?

Are you unable to use the mobile hotspot BECAUSE you have an unlimited plan?? Sorry if thats a dumb question, I'm coming over from Sprint and the reason I ask is that I'm on tiered data and I can use mine..

Verizon would make you pay for a separate tiered plan for Mobile Hotspot when on unlimited. I'm guessing that's still the case.

[Q] SuperSU Binary issue, root help!

Hi,
I have a T-Mobile LG G Flex that used to be rooted and after android system update now it doesn't have root access. Here's the thing: I ran TowelRoot and it displayed the following message: "This device isn't supported". Afterwards I downloaded and installed StumpRoot and when I run the app it displays a message saying: "Device is rooted" but when I run the Root Checker app it tells me device has no root access.
Heres the Software Information from the device:
Android Version
4.4.2
Baseband Version
M8974A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20064
Kernel Version
3.4.0
Build Number
KOT49I.D95920s
Software Version

Can anyone point me towards a solution for this? I made a new thread regarding this matter because even though I've seen many people post similar situations they're for other type of devices. Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,

I'd say you might have to grab the tot for the d959, flash back to stock and run the updates again, then use stump.

A lot of peep have been posting that they're not able to root the latest update with the previous methods. And also T-Mobile doesn't use a tot file. Its .kdz. But not gonna work due to the latest update doesn't have download mode. So if you're on the latest, I suggest find a root method ( try stumproot, safe root, I/o root, vroot, towel root, hell id try anything. But that's me. I don't suggest shoot blind if you don't know what you're doing) then install freedom flex get a custom recovery then make a backup and flash d'fuse's rooted KitKat and disable ota's.

Thanks a million,

The fix for this problem is to download lg mobile support tool
on your pc
Click on options-upgrade recovery
Let it download
You will need to plug your phone
In via USB for the last 10 percent
You will now be unrooted and able to
Reroot with stumproots brute force
Oh and you will get download mode back
Power off-vol up+ plug in USB

This is a gflex thread not s4
But for your phone
if you have a recovery installed(If you don't you can flash it with Odin google it)
Boot into recovery
Flash the su zip from chainfires website
Should fix your issue

Dont think I got recovery installed, but I will try to flash it. But what does it mean "flash it"?

"Flash It" or "Flashing" means to copy files to your device using an application such as ODIN.

Need help..

Hi, so I am stuck without recovery or download mode. I know that the LG Mobile Support Tool should work but I tried it on two PCs and just as it finishes extracting the software after it downloads, the program runs into an error and closes. I am running D95920s like everyone else here. Just no luck. Any suggestions? I plugged in at 90% Not sure if im doing anything wrong.
Update: So the LG Mobile Tool has many security checks and it doesn't always allow for flashing. If anybody comes across this problem in the future. Refer to mattwheats instructions.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-flex/general/fyi-taking-ota-rooted-twrp-t2999344
It will force your phone to flash without download mode.

Root Problems

Cant seem to find any possible way to root my G2. I tried Towel root and ioroot25. For the towel root it tells me my device is not supported, fair enough... For the IoRoot however, it goes fine until the reboot part. The command prompt tells me to select an option with my volume/power buttons but all I see is an Android laying on its back with a red exclamation saying "No Command" under it.
I just need some noob friendly help as this is my first android and root attempt.
Heres some info:
-Lg G2 Verizon
-Baseband Version: VS98026A
-4.4.2 android version
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-perf-g95fa932
-im in debug mode
-ethernet mode/option when i connect to my PC
-no lock on screen
-fully charged, ect
I really cant figure out what im doing wrong

You try Stump Root?

Have heard stump root works.
If you want to use ioroot25, you have to be on the 24a firmware. You can always kdz back to 24a, root using ioroot25 (don't flash custom recovery yet), take ota to 26a (root is maintained), then flash custom recovery using freedom tool (this was my work flow and worked perfectly).

:crying: I dont know what half of that means :crying:
Well i tried stump root and my device isnt supported, all it does is ask for me to brute force it.
I'll try njstein's method later on today and see if that works, I just need to figure out exactly what all that meant. Ill look around in the forums for "kdz to 24a...ota to 26a"
Thanks so much for the help, ill report my results later in the day :good:
Update: Wow i wasnt counting on the brute force to work but it did, device is now rooted.
and on a side note, my proxy settings got all messed up after root, i couldnt connect or do anything over wifi and also my adblock+ was messed up. Easily fixed, just fyi for anyone else that might experience that.
