[Guide] [Z1s] for Root For Sony Xperia Z1s T-mobile (C6916) - Xperia Z1 Android Development

Hello Everyone! I would like to make a guide for Rooting our Sony Xperia Z1s for T-mobile, I tried this with Android 4.3 Firmware 14.2.C.0.159.
This is my first Post so if i make a mistake please let me Know.
Thanks to Jcase and his pwn file to make this root Posible.
This is just the way how i did it and worked for me.
I AM NOT RESPOSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICES, THIS IS JUST A GUIDE FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THE JCASE EXPLOID.
Requirements:
Well, first of all you have to make sure that your computer have the correct adb drivers installed and you can go into it.
Debugging mode On. (Developer options, USB Debugging Checked)
Download the JCASE pwn (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53407127&postcount=1004)
Download the Adb Drivers Updated (http://www.mediafire.com/download/41lx6p71xxit1ax/ADB+Drivers_Updated.zip) Thanks to Droidextra.org, UJJWAL KUMAR.
Process:
1- With the two zip files downloaded you will unzip it in the Local Disk (C), Create a folder with a name like "Root Tool" And unzip the files there, just like these: Check attached picture.
2- Press Shift on the keyboard and right click and then "open a Command Prompt here"
3- Check if your Sony Xperia Z1s its working well in the adb typing: adb devices. If it says failed, you have to check your adb drivers, if not, you're going good.
4- So if all its going well, just type this on command prompt (Thanks JCASE)
adb push pwn /data/local/tmp/pwn
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/pwn
adb shell /data/local/tmp/pwn
5- wait for the adb to finish.
6- Unplug you're phone and restart it.
7- Install Super Su apk (Can download it from Play Store or latest Apk)
8- Open SuperSu and update binarys with Normal Mode
Now you must be Root, if SuperSu can't update Binarys try again from 2.
If you are not able to Write to system try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...57358331140130
If this works for you please say thanks to Jcase who made this can be possible.

Sorry about that, SuperSu its giving to you this error because the rooting it's not done, please check that your phone its adb recognizable with "adb devices" in CMD, Remember to Unistall Super Su if you get the error and Reboot in order to try again.

Okay so after working at this for a couple of hours I finally got it to work. For some reason, I wasn't able to uninstall SuperSu because it had been installed as a system app and I could only disable it, or uninstall updates from it. After trying over and over, I found this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53442704&postcount=1075&nocache=1&z=9157358331140130
Here, they include the exact same method in this thread, with one extra step; creating a boot script to maintain root/system permissions. Im not exactly sure how it works, but i followed the instructions provided by the links and then, after rebooting, was able to install binaries, and achieve full root (FINALLY!!) So if anybody has the same problem I did, try this out

Nice! I'm happy To heard that! JCase said in his post that some people will have this problem to write to system, but in my case i was able to, now we have to find a working recovery in order to have a custom rom or something like that, Some people say that xzdualrecovery works for z1s, but it is in beta version, if you find something please let us know.

Hey Thanks for Reply, that's the reason because i said de Final Acces, because we can acces to bootloader because branded phones can't have bootloader unlocked.:fingers-crossed:

Has anyone taken the update? Will we lose root?

I did not lose root. I check the box in SuperSU to try to retain root.
Kept root, now I just have to fix all the issues 4.4 has created.

[MOD] 3-Click QuickTempRoot TerminalMOD :/

Alright all,
I know there's another thread about "easier" method, but this is easiest for me. 3-Clicks after installation.
I was really tired of typing the same crap over and over after rebooting just to get my temproot back to do more testing/playing.
So I redeveloped this to be quicker/easier upon reboot. Mainly I altered the Term app to be have a scripted start-up on the 1st 3 launches.
I also updated the su/Superuser combo with ChainDD's latest stuff.
Here's how it works, after it's installed.
3ClickTempRooter said:
1) You run the terminal app once, wait a few seconds and it disappears.
2) You run the terminal again, wait for it to FC.
3) You run the terminal a final time and receive root.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now on each reboot, it will be simply 3-clicks (running terminal app 3 times).
Finally ... any executable script placed in /data/local/tmp will be in the path of the new terminal mod. This makes running other scripts very easy.
Installation
Download the attached QuickTempRooter.zip and place it in a directory and unpack it.
Turn on USB debugging and install through adb ...
Here's the adb installation snippet ...
Code:
adb kill-server
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rage
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/root
adb shell 'pm uninstall com.android.term'
adb install Term.apk
Has made my life wayyy easier when playing with this phone while we wait for the real-deal!!!
Hope you enjoy!
NOTES
If you get a permission denied on the ''adb shell 'pm uninstall com.android.term' '' ... this is normal if you don't have a terminal already installed or have an alternate terminal app (using a namespace other than com.android.term.
If you have another Terminal App installed, you may want to uninstall it first, to avoid confusion.
Also, you may need to reboot after the initial installation for it to work properly!
ummmmm.....Enomther??
Did you get a G2 already?
Great to see you helping out with this
Great to see you here man! Trying this now can't wait to get themes rolling once we get permanent root!

If you didn't already have a terminal app installed that error is normal. Also you may need to reboot once after the initial installation for it to work properly.

Sorry, this is my first Android. I came from WM and I was pretty good with it.
I've searched XDA, Youtube, and web to ADB and SDK. I've downloaded it and it's installed. The only thing I don't get is when you said to
"Download the attached QuickTempRooter.zip and place it in a directory and unpack it."
You mean place the extracted files into the sd card correct? That's why the command is "adb push su /sdcard/su".

No, he means on your PC. You are running adb to push files contained in the zip to your phone.

If you have better terminal, you can also add the rage and root to specific keys.

Good work, Temp root in like 5 seconds
Quick question, ok I was able to get root for a few mins, then it went away I guess I have to have the terminal always open or ignore so my taskiller doesnt terminated it?
Don't use task killers. (IMHO)
But I tend to have to reboot every once in a while to keep root in tacked within terminal but all my apps seem to stay with su permissions until reboot (or sometimes 12 hours)

To any and everyone who knows how. Which way is the proper way as of Today to root the kf2? To many videos and guides they confusing me and then when I tried a method i saw on youtube it wouldnt recognize my device but then again it was for the 6.3 version I believe. I need this rooted before christmas because I'm bought it to give as a gift but without root I feel like playing frisbee #frustrated
Took me 10seconds to find this thread which works for the KF(2) (also reported for the 10.2.4 firmware)...just follow the steps (before make sure you got the right adb driver installed) and you device should be rooted!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035334
Can`t understand why people don't use the search option, even when i type in google "kindle 10.2.3 root" i`ll get a solution for it!
Ill try here n a minute I did actually search just to make it known my version is 10.2.1

OK so I just tried and it does NOT recognize my device I installed drivers uninstalled drivers and re installed them again AND I dl the drivers that came in the Qemu root method and like always my laptop says that the drivers are already installed and when I click next anyway it tells me I have latest version .....What gives maaaaaaan? #headache
I found that I had to plug out the kindle. Un install the device from device manager. Then with adb already enabled plug it back in. Then it should fail to automatically install the driver from there you can install.

Gs3 Sac23's ROM GO SPURS GO!
alright peeps?
check out this method and the notes i added
easiest way to do it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051270
worked for the latest version
How I re-rooted the KF2 after much aggrivation and little sleep
Actually, I just re-rooted but, was not that simple. Had to do some manual commands using adb to push su and whatnot. Took several fails, too.
Credits to all of XDA-devs
First thing you have to do tho is: Navigate to your Android SDK folder and download the newer drivers for the KF2 then update the drivers in Windows. Launch "Android SDK Manager" then click Tools then "Manage Addon Sites". In the next window, click the tab at the top titled, "User Defined Sites". Then, click "New" and add this line:
http://kindle-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/addon.xml
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Next: install the Gen 2 drivers and anything else you are missing from the Android 4.0.3 package.
Then: Using "Device Manager" in Windows, update the drivers for your Kindle and reboot your computer.
Then, do this: Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18
Then use this: tf101_ics_root.zip
Then download this:
Then: unzip or unrar that and take "Superuser.apk" from the system\app folder and "su" from system\bin and paste them in the
"adt-bundle-windows\sdk\platform-tools" directory.
Then while in "adt-bundle-windows\sdk\platform-tools", hold "Shift" while right-clicking anywhere in the folder that is empty and choose, "Open Command Window Here"
In the Command Window:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
rm -r /data/local/tmp
ln -s /data/ /data/local/tmp
exit
adb reboot
adb devices
adb shell
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
exit
adb reboot
adb devices
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell
chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
rm /data/local.prop
exit
adb reboot
adb install Superuser.apk
You should now be rooted. Open the superuser app and make sure it's up to date and working.
If after any of these commands you get "permissions denied" you have to start over.
I'll attach that "Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip" at the bottom here:

I had the same issue. I updated SDK, uninstalled all drivers, unplugged the fire2. Then in SDK went to tools, manage addon sites, selected user defined sites, added new and copied: http://kindle-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/addon.xml, then ok, close, scrolled to the botom of SDK manager, under extras there were 2 kindle fire options, I selected both and installed them, then closed SDK manager.
I wen to the folder were SDK resides, then folder: extras\amazon\kindle_fire_usb_driver and installed the fire USB drivers, then pluged in the kindle, then execute the instructions posted here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051270) and everything worked like a charm. I hope this works for you! (BTW this solution was developed by someone else can't remember who, but I founded it, used it and shared it).

Hello,
I have a Blu Dash 3.5 and would like to install clockworkmod recovery and enable root access, but so far have not found anything. Could you help me?
thank you
I tried using SuperOneClick, Gingerbreak, zroot but all without success.
Anyone have any other option?
_ _
I managed to set up the android SDK on ubuntu but I get permission denied message when trying to copy the files to the /system
I suppose I have to remount the partition in RW to be able to put the files but no idea how to do this.

Well you can't without it being rooted, right now I just don't care about it anymore it's just a phone, & $30 isn't worth just freeing up some space. No guarantee that will make it run smoother without crashes either, that could just be a result of interface, so a bit of speed don't seem worth it to me, I have my own ringtones with ringdroid so I'm happy.
Everything having to do with extracting the boot.img requires it to be rooted otherwise I know enough about enough crapola already I could make that all spiffy and zabam if I wanted. I would just literally edit all the img files and provide a simple update.zip given I could get signing to work!
unfortunately I get nothing from fastboot at all, not sure it would help though. oem unlock stuff is all I recall about that besides it being a great wau to flash images to the phone
let me know if you make any progress, I'll put in my effort if you do anything at all that intices me to find a path to progress

fenrixarena, hope you get to find any progress on rooting this phone. I also agree with you that it is no worth the time or effort with this kind of phone but I think that the challenge is interesting . In my case I have no idea on how you may root it but I am sure it is possible i guess it all in find another compatible boot.img that can be rooted, right?
Regards,

What is the address of the site that charges $ 30? We can verify that other users would like to do and split the cost ...
I managed to make root ...
I found the CWM recovery and stock recovery for Qsmart.
I was very curious if it would work in BLU and ended up installing the CWM with fastboot. It did not work, the screen just stays with the BLU and not access the recovery.
Then I installed stock recovery and did not work ...
But I realized that Windows recognized the device connected and I recognized two units with unsupported format.
then returned to the prompt and saw that the ADB was working. I used the command 'adb shell' and to my surprise was how the cursor #
So without wasting time already put su and busybox in /system/ bin and superuser.apk in /system/app, I changed the permissions and restarted the phone. And the root was working perfectly. :victory:
Only one problem, I do not have the recovery installed.
I wonder how I can help you to make root without losing recovery
>>
I use Windowns 7 Pro x64 bits.
I installed the drivers in the SuperOneClick version 2.3.3.
With the drivers installed could use fastboot and adb command.
Turning on the phone + vol - access mode fastboot / bootloader
It would be good to get root without losing the recovery. Because we need him to compile a clockworkmod recovery.
I used the romdump and got the following files:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5rQL4bfhfPRZXhhZkg1Mkx5SHc/edit?usp=sharing
I used the mkfs.yaffs2 to convert the file system.tar for system.img
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5rQL4bfhfPRMGdaNnQ4b1RwclU/edit?usp=sharing
This system.img would function on another device?
okay, I am having one problem, what did you type for the permissions?
I've got superuser.apk pushed and the su in the /system/bin but when i try to chmod 777 it returns to -r- after I reboot!
Here's howto manually back up now that I have recovery adb root:
cat /proc/mtd
Then just cat (mtd#) > /sdcard/(image.img)
You can restore via fastboot flash

you get root access in adb shell?
send su to /system/bin with permission 6755.
busybox to /system/bin with permission 755.
and superuser.apk to /system/app with 644.
reboot your phone
then download terminal emulator on your phone and enter the command su

I can upload the cwm.img & adb I used + fastboot. Not all adb.exe will recognize the phone. Also drivers from qsmart for adb bridge.
1 boot holding vol down + power (about 15 sec.)
Fastboot flash recovery cwm.img
Then turn phone off.
Boot holding vol UP + Power (about 15 sec)
Adb push su /system/bin
Adb push busybox /system/bin
Adb push superuser.apk /system/app
adb shell
~# chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
~# chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox
~# chmod 644 /system/app/superuser.apk
reboot your phone

sorry, tomorrow I will upload a zip with the img i used and so forth all in one zip so you can root with that, unless it's here by someone else by then I gotta work!

Thank you so much Fenrixarena!! You are awesome :good::good::good:. I still can believe it, i thought it was a lost hope... I really appreciate for uploading the files I am patient enough to wait another day
Follow the ADB and the recovery I've used.
The drivers installed by SuperOneClick, but have these here:
32 bits - http://www.mediafire.com/?21na032gnzbfza2
64 bits - http://www.mediafire.com/?1hrwo325cb1ej2w

fenrixarena said:
interesting, I got a cwm4s12.img that's larger(4.51) and because of having a 64bit laptop without 32bit support I had to use a smaller ADB (158kb) to be able to recognize the phone and only on regular usb debugging does superoneclick install drivers which was useless since I needed the drivers to work in recovery.
If those files don't work for you I will upload mine
I got my files from foreign thread, and since I download so many versions and custom versions of programs like adb I'm not sure where it came from !!
oh, and he rooted the phone first, I only did it on a more bothersome platform.

Now we need a recovery. I'm trying to learn how to compile cwm, but it is very complicated.

[UNIVERSAL GUIDE] Root Any Android Device Manually !

THIS GUIDE NO LONGER WORKS BECAUSE ANDROID ISN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE BACK IN 2013-14.
PLEASE STOP WASTING TIME TO FOLLOW THIS OBSOLETE METHOD 1. PLEASE REFER ONLY TO METHOD 3​
The Ultimate Guide to Rooting any Android Device Manually !!!!​
Wanting to ROOT Your Phone but can't do Because Of No rooting Guides or want to learn to root any device ? Then , This Guide Is For YOU
OK So lets start....
**What You Need**
1.Your Unrooted Android Device.
2.ADB Drivers Installed On Your PC. If you Don't Have Download From Here :
Code:
adbdriver.com/‎
3. The Most Inportant Root Kit Made By Me (N'ayam Amarsh'e) - Download From The Attachment.
4.Strength And Courage 'Coz Rooting Voids Your Warranty... If You have a samsung device then Don't Worry Your warranty is gone forever... But if you own any other, maybe you can void it or maybe......
I've Written Android Device as ADV to make it more easy....
**Steps**
So you have the adb drivers installed let's go....
1. Open The root kit by Extracting The Rootkit with WinRAR....
2.Turn 'USB DEBUGGING' 'ON' in your ADV...
3. Connect your ADV to Your PC...
4.In the root kit Open Cmd.exe File ... [ IF YOU CAN'T OPEN CMD, GOTO C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/ COPY CMD .EXE TO YOUR ROOTKIT FOLDER]
5. In CMD window Type the following command...
Code:
->adb devices *Your device will get listed in the window if it doesn't check your adb drivers or if you have followed the steps properly...
->adb push busybox /data/local/tmp
->adb push su /data/local/tmp
->adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp
If you Succeed Move On ...
6.Then You need Root Shell Type :
Code:
adb shell
Note that you see a "$" sign in the command prompt. That means you are not in 'su' shell.
7.Next run the following commands in the shell to change permissions and get some limited privileges for the Superuser files:
Code:
->chmod 6755 /data/local/tmp/su
->chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
->chmod 644 /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
{Note}The names of the files are case sensitive!
8.Done ? Now You need to open a copy of linux which has nautilus... So enter your linux (I recommend using ubuntu 11.4) and type in the terminal (ctrl+alt+T)
Code:
->sudo nautilus
this will open nautilus with root privileges...
You can just boot it from USB so no hassle of installing it... http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/download-ubuntu-linux-11-04-iso-cd-dvd-images-natty-narwhal.html
Having your ADV connected with USB to PC switch it off and put it in download/recovery mode...
superlouro said:
DEVICE OFFLINE?
! SOLUTION ! (click me)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
9.In The Exploring Window navigate to
Code:
/data/local/tmp
and move/cut 'su' and 'busybox' to
Code:
/system/bin
...
10.From the tmp Folder you went earlier Move/cut 'Superuser.apk' to
Code:
/system/app
11.Now Reboot You ADV ... Congrats ! You're now ROOTED !
Many Users Are Having Problem with This Method, If you can't do the method 1. Try Method 2.
METHOD 2
PLEASE DON'T ASK ME ABOUT THIS METHOD, THIS IS JUST FOR A TRY, MY BROTHER FOUND THIS METHOD TO BE WORKING, I HAVEN'T TRIED IT YET!
This is linux based method, It's quite easy if you follow every step correctly...
You need to download psneuter, https://github.com/tmzt/g2root-kmod/tree/master/scotty2/psneuter
When you have it execute the following...
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
This will copy the file to your device and now we'll execute it..
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 psneuter
./psneuter
Now You'll see
Code:
adb kill-server
adb devices
adb shell
now # will appear in place of $, or after typing $su.
Code:
# mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19/system
# exit
$ adb push busybox /system/bin
$ adb push su /system/bin
$ adb install Superuser.apk
$ adb shell
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
# mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/block/st19/system
# exit
$ adb reboot
Now your device will reboot and you can see SuperUser App in your app drawer...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
METHOD 3
There is no chance of the phone not getting rooted with my method but If you don't want to do the above methods, Try these, I'm pretty sure they will root your device with ease...

that means you have not properly pushed the files into the directory.... Try installing adb drivers again and do the same steps...Good luck
When you open cmd just type ' adb devices' if your device gets listed then you can start if it doesn't check your drivers...
After uinstall all adb drivers and phone drivers comand prompt shows me a device code and status ofline. At the begining i install atached to therad package of adb drivers. But lately some where in Internet I find some update package of adb drivers. And there was the same sort of files like in your package. I put them there and replace and after that adb shows the device is working and status is online but your guide still does not work. Question is where is real problem ? I checked and Debug Mod is on, drivers are installed.
Try this , download android commander and try to copy the busybox , su and superuser to data/local/tmp

OK you will need to do it with Droid Explorer
OR
linux and in the linux you'll have to type 'sudo nautilus' it'll open it with root privilages...

Hi! First thank you for that guide. I rooted several devices but with a noname(10.1" A10 dual core) china tablet I have some problems so I hope your solution works.
I have some problems/questions:
1. Step 5: Are you sure it's:
Code:
adb push su /data/local/tmp
instead of
adb push su /data/local/tmp[B][SIZE="5"]/[/SIZE][/B]
I'm currently not able to look at the data folder but if I change the directions e.g to /test/local/tmp it just creates a "tmp" file and overwrites the file with every push command.
2. Step 6: If it's a $ it's not rootet, what should be there if it's rooted? I have a # there. Rootchecker says it's rooted since the beginning, but I cant access with superuser/supersu etc.
3. Step 8 doesn't work. I use a virtual box with ubuntu 13.10(Stinson: new is always better?) for the first time. With "sudo nautilus" I get the message that root access is not granted(failed to register client). I used "gksudo nautilus" instead... does that matter?
4. I can't connect my device to the virtual box. I tried to add the usb device but didn't work. USB Developer Android[0223] is in virtual box connected. However, I dont know where to find it in ubuntu. I'm a ubuntu noob sorry :/
5. Is there another way to get rw permissions?
Thanks in advance :good:
thankyou for information i think is hard for me
Very nice, ty

For Your First Answer You Need not to worry /tmp and /tmp/ are the same...
2.Have you tried typing 'adb shell' then ' su ' if yes there's your solution.... If not then you have problem with su binary or busybox....
3.You have an Ubuntu 11.4 .iso file so burn it to a blank disk and boot your live disk .... It should be all right then...

[ROOT]How to Root KVT49L.D85110r and Install TWRP. My experience

I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this. Moderators, Please feel free to remove it or relocate it
First of all thanks to all amazing people on this forum ( thecubed,777jon,Dees_Troy, chainfire, supernoman, crashfocus, etc)
This is not my work . It is a compilation of what it worked for me from the work made by others. It is directly toward newbie users.
Instructions
1- Make sure you install LG G3 drivers in your computer( you can get them attached on this thread). Connect phone to the PC using USB cable. Make sure the phone is recognized when you plug it in with the usb cable
Also phone shall be connected as Media device (MTP), if it is in Charge Phone change it to MTP.
Scroll down this post. You will find the correct usb drivers attached. Install them in your pc.
2- Enable Developer options in your phone on Setting > General> About phone > Software information > and click seven times Build number until it enables it
3- Enable USB debugging on your LG G3 from your phones Settings > Developer options > tick ‘USB debugging’ check box. A window should pop up in your phone display to allow USB debugging. Select Allways Allow from This Computer and hit OK.
It will also be convenient to Enable installation of apps from Unknown Sources: Open phone’s Settings » select Security » Tick the “Unknown sources” check box (under Device administration section)
4- Download and unzip
- Pupledrake-Lite at http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lg_g3/purpledrake/PurpleDrake-Lite_R03.tar.gz Thanks to Codefi.re
- Download and unzip the attached ADB LOCAL READY with TWRP recovery.img
Thanks to @Dees_Troy & TeamWin - for TWRP Touch recovery
ATTACHMENT IS HERE- JUST CLICK HERE
5- Download -Latest SuperSu at http://download.chainfire.eu/641/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip Thanks to Chainfire
6- Transfer UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip to the internal sdcard
7- Open Purpledrake-Lite and Run purpledrake_windows.bat. It should detect your devices if it is not, you need to check if the drivers were installed properly and unplug-plug back your phone.
Hit Enter as instructed on the computer screen until it gains temporary root.
IMPORTANT : READ AND DO NOT CONTINUE TO PERMANENT ROOT INSTRUCTIONS DISPLAYED. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTINUE WITH ADB INSTEAD.
Hit Ctrl+C to exit to use adb.
This process takes a few seconds and The phone start on download mode and it will stay on it.
8- Open ADB LOCAL READY folder you downloaded and hit Start Here.bat
Type "adb devices" to ensure that your phone is connected and it accept adb commands . On list of devices attached it should show LGD851........
Unplug it and plug it back if it is not .
NOTE: SOME PEEPS HAVE REPORTED PROBLEM WITH ADB NOT WORKING PROPERLY ON USB 3.0 PORTS. PLEASE USE USB 2.0 PORTS
9- Type "adb push recovery.img /temp"
You will see that it pushes the data. it should take a few seconds
Note: you may need to push it a few times if you do not find the recovery file on the /temp folder when you do step 12.
Some members stated that they need to push it ..5 times.
rubbamade tip
" This does work. If after you do the "adb push....", Hit the up key on your keyboard. What you just typed " adb push...." will appear again. Hit enter. It will "push" again. Hit up again. Hit enter. Do this at least 5 times. Now proceed with next step "adb shell"..... Should work now"
For some reason others user needed to push it more than 5 times, i assume that it is due to the file size of the image and your operating system and pc settings(i used win7). It is recommended to verify if it was pushed on step 12.
10- Type "adb shell" and it should go to shell command $
11- Then type "/temp/fakesu". This will put you in a superuser shell on your device. It should show su command line # .
12- Type "ls /temp" to make sure that recovery.img and fakesu are in /temp folder . If it is not, then you did not complete correctly the above instructions..repeat it
13- Type "dd if=/temp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery". it will take a few seconds to complete and install TWRP recovery.
14- Type type "reboot recovery" It should boot onto TWRP Touch recovery. it could take a few but it should
15- Once in TWRP, select install,go to the SD card directory, select UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip and install it. Reboot the phone once complete. Do not panic, it should take a while to cook and update applications, but it will, be patient.
16- Your device is rooted and with TWRP custom recovery. IF you do not see SuperSu in your application drawer, do not panic, just install it from the Play Store.
17- Now you are ready to install custom Roms, any application that requires root, or enjoy root features.

Try just double-clicking on the .bat instead of running as admin.
Also make sure the script is extracted properly first before running
Disclaimer: It worked for me, but I am not responsible for any damages to your phone.
Your experience is very interesting vcurbel!
I was under the impression there was no way to root untouched stock 10R.
It would appear you have found a way! :good: Thanks for your contribution.
I am curious if anyone else has replicated this?
thank you so much had a little trouble but successfully rooted my device
Where was this guide yesterday?
Last week I just thought rooting build R was impossible as of yet, got fed up, and 5 minutes ago ran the LG Update tool to revert my phone back to stock/ Build C and root that way.

13- Type "dd if=/temp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery". it will take a few seconds to complete and install TWRP recovery.

dd if=/temp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
This command doesn't work for me. It shows, "cannot open for read: no such file or directory".
Can you help?
Edit: Nevermind, had to repush recovery. Didn't go through properly the first time. Thank you
Everything worked great. Thank you for the guide! Rooted on 10r!
NO GO
- Type "ls /temp" to make sure that recovery.img and fakesu are in /temp folder . If it is not, then you did not complete correctly the above instructions..repeat it
AT THIS POINT I AM GETTING "NOT FOUND". DID THE STEPS ABOVE SEVERAL TIMES.

try to redo step number 7. But, you are getting into su command line which is #
after you do the ls/temp on su #, you should get the list of files in your temp folder.....check if recovery and fakesu are there
then continue to step 13

DO I NEED TO RE-ROOT?

Here is the problem. You pressed to continue (enter) to create permanent root after temporary root was created
You need to press CTRL C instead , then it will exit......then continue to next step with ADB LOCAL READY.
Ill clarify this better on step 7.

Once I click CTRL C screen disappears then I go to ADB file and follow procedures. IT STILL DOES NOT WORK
That's what I do. I clicked enter first time rooting following purple instructions. Then I realized it does not work with January update. I run purple drake again (after I found this "fix") and, as I said, I DO NOT PROCEED WITH ENTER. I use CTRL C. The window closes and I open ADB, then click start hereand follow the rest of the procedures. So YES I did click enter once initially (because purple drake post is not updated that it does not work with JAN 15 update).

It seems your windows os is missing the default mintty.exe terminal...
Google it and you will find a solution to manually install it.
Or use other pc

If I recall if the PD batch file/script is closing on you or giving you trouble, then you can run the script manually.
See link below to thecubed PD lite thread and read the 5th grey portion down of the OP, it is titled:
"But, what if I don't want to run your script to root?"
If you must use command line because the PD batch file/script is closing immediately just be sure to STOP after gaining temporary root!
From OP step 7:
IMPORTANT : READ AND DO NOT CONTINUE TO PERMANENT ROOT INSTRUCTIONS DISPLAYED. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTINUE WITH ADB INSTEAD. [/FONT]

Hello,
I am also having the same issue. I tried the above steps a couple times and am not sure if I am doing something wrong (more than likely I am). What did you mean by repush recovery?
Try step 9 again
9- Type "adb push recovery.img /temp"
You will see that it pushes the data. it should take a few seconds

Yes, The phone is recognized and the file as you see was pushed (see script above). I think there is some issue with this method, as other people are reporting problems following the procedure in post #1??!! I guess it work for some and it does not for others.
