Root Lg f60 metro pcs

Ok, so I need some help.. The struggle is real over here!! I put my phone on the charger around 1130 last night with just over 70% battery life. Woke up at 130, checked my phone to see the time and went back to sleep. Woke up at 5 this morning to my phone shut off. First thing I tried was wriggling the charger and trying to power back on. No luck. Next step was removing battery, putting back in and powering up. Again, nothing! I have not downloaded anything since the first week I got the phone and did nothing different then I have the last 2 months. Needless to say, it is now 1130 and I still have no power to my phone. I have had no issues with it until it just wouldn't turn back on. Anyone know what this could be? Or something I can try other then a hard reset? Which, I really don't want to do because I don't want to lose all my pics and videos. Although, I don't believe the hard reset would actually work. HELP!! Idk what it could possibly be. And I NEED my phone! Any help would be greatly appreciated!! TYIA

Try... Holding the power botton for 30 seconds....
Let go power botton....
Hit it hold it again. Then let go an hit ones. To power normal..
Try it with cable. Too it may be the cord... Or the power box... Try with different power cable ....
If it doesn't turn on its the device.
Sorry

Like Krlypumma said have you tried holding the power button for a good while? I know my old ASUS tablet has problems powering on but you just need to hold the power button for like a minute or more. I sure hope your phone is okay. That sucks!

Have you tried another charger? I know my old LG Motion had trouble charging with certain chargers but that was after many years of use.

I have heard of bad car chargers frying a phone so it is possible your phone could have been killed by the charger in some way.

Going to try it now. Hopefully I will get it, pretty new at this stuff. You have any problems rooting or did it all go weel?

The original guide gave me problems pushing the zip so I modified it a bit but after that it was straight forward copy and paste.
 
I open ADB/Fastboot on my pc, so do I drag the files at once into the command prompt?
g2_root.sh /data/local/tmp/
busybox /data/local/tmp/
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp/

I have never used the adb/fastboot to push files. Can I push all at once or one at a time? To push do just add adb push before the files I want to push?

I have made a zip with everything you will need

1.) Enable Developer Options by tapping build number Settings> About Phone> Software Information until you are presented with "You are now a developer"
In Developer Options enable USB Debugging (Enable PTP for debugging to work)
Open a command prompt in the root of this folder copy and paste the commands one by one

adb.exe push lg_root.sh /data/local/tmp/

adb.exe push busybox /data/local/tmp/

adb.exe push UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp/

2.)Put your device in download mode (while powered off hold volume up and plug in usb until download mode is shown)

3.) In command prompt in the root of this folder run the below command
(To find which COM port your device is under open device manager and click ports and your device port is listed under the drop down menu)

Send_Command.exe \\.\COM5

After running this command on the correct COM port you will be presented with a root shell # symbol

(In the root shell execute the below command via copy+paste)
sh /data/local/tmp/lg_root.sh dummy 1 /data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp/busybox

You should see something happening and not a return of a blank command. Once it's finished pull the battery and boot up your device is rooted

No luck for me. I am sure it works but I don't know enough to get the files push to my device. I will have to wait till some better installation instructions are available. Thanks for offering to help

I'm sorry but it's copy and paste all you do is open a command prompt in the folder once you unzip the file and you copy and paste the commands. There's no special anything except figuring out the COM port. Do you want to get on TeamViewer?
