ok I rebooted the PC. It worked. I think. I had supersu and was able to use my phone for about 30 minutes.

THEN IT BRICKED!
I know that there's a fix.
so I went through the fixing.

AFTER FIXING THE BRICK
I found out that it also messed up my gallery.
Any ideas?
I couldn't find a fix for it.. so I created a thread

After reading all of this, I was a bit worried about this root method. Went ahead with it, & it worked flawlessly. Now to flash the deoxed/debloated ROM.

One of them requires you to be running D firmware so there are no glitches, the other requires you to be on E firmware so you don't brick.
 
how long does this take I've been doing this for 5 minutes and nothing just the daemon has started successfully. should I unplugg and restart this process or restart my pc after installing backup apk?
 
This rooting procedure worked for me. The procedure needs a little bit of detail that is lacking, but I was experienced enough to get the flow of what the OP meant... Thanks so much for the procedure!!! I missed my AdAway so much!
 
Nevermind... found my answer.

Nevermind my nevermind... I'm AM stuck..When I run the root batch file it give me the first two lines and then nothing else...

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

I've noticed each time I plug it in, the ballon that pops up down by the system tray says that it failed to install the drivers.

I've tried un/re-installing IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk

I've tried un/re-installing the drivers.
I've found the more up to date drivers on LG's website, and tryed it.

I'm running Windows 7. What else do you guy suggest? What other info do you need from me?

Make sure its not set to media sync. Make sure its on CHARGE ONLY!!!

I did have USB Debugging on. I did have it on charge only... It was weird... when I plugged it in... it went to media sync first and successfully installed drivers... then I switch it to charge only and it tries to install more drivers and fails.

Is it supposed to successfully install the drivers when you plug it in?

Oh and I factory reset the phone and tried again with the same results. :-(
 
You have to have the drivers installed correctly. The best and most trusted way to get/update it is to go to lg.com and find the lg motion and go to support. When ur thier install the drivers or update them. After that plug the phone into the computer. It should start installing drivers, don't do anything till its complete. Then follow the root guide.
