I didn't need any. Once I put the device in PTP mode Windows installed them. You may be able to find them via a Google search. To test if they are working in the same folder type adb.exe devices if nothing shows I would check device manager to see if it didn't install drivers.
 
Thank you! My LG F60 is now rooted! Awesome! I had a bit of difficulty at first but I just had to get windows to install the LG drivers. A bit freaky when I saw the phone showing updating firmware and at the end I had to pull the battery even though the phone progress bar didn't move.

Do you think you could create a thread on rooting the device? I don't have time to maintain one I'll be busy preparing cm it will take a while since this is a qcom device.

I guess I could, though I don't have much smarts so I will quote your steps word for word. :confused::)
 
Thank you so much I do not normally post anything I just monitor the forums but this one has had me waiting for 3 weeks now and I am happy that it is finally rooted. Thank you Noobified.
 
AWESOME!!! Thank you Noobified and all those who put in all that hard work to help us achieve root access! You guys and gals are bloody awesome!:D:thumbsupdroid:

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

it is going into firmware update mode every time. what am i doing wrong??
 
Okay, now I require a bit of assistance. I at the last step in the root guide and after enter the "sh /data/local/tmp/lg_root.sh dummy 1 /data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip/data/local/tmp/busybox" command it just sits there doing nothing. Any advice?

Open a new command prompt and run the the Send_Command.exe again.

Once you are in root shell # type ls -l /data/local/tmp/ if it's empty the files weren't pushed if it's not empty and you see them exit download mode and try again. I had to do it 2 times initially when I first tried the original guide.

Should I close the old one first before opening a new command prompt to try the last two steps again?

Awesome turns out our boot loader was already unlocked you can flash the image via flashify app easily and make a backup of your device in case you wanted to test some audio mods etc.
 
Hey guys - if somebody goes on to make a root guide, please include a reminder to avoid deleting ANY system before you:

A) make a full system dump with ADB...

B) If and when there is a CWM, make a Nandroid backup.

C) Both of the above. (Preferably before you even root)

I know some of you already know this, I'm just reminding all of you rooting noobers that gaining access to system files is playing in dangerous territory. One wrong move in system folders equals a brick.

It's tempting, but I'm sure some of you will eventually slip.

Having a Nandroid or a dump handy will ensure you have a replacement file in case of disaster. Note that if your phone still boots, a factory reset WILL NOT bring back system files you deleted!

Also be sure you're set up with all necessary drivers needed for ADB, fastboot and KDZ flashing. It will help us help you.

Just a reminder, I see a lot of people begging for replacement system files in other threads due to careless system file mods. It only takes a few minutes to back up, just do it :)

I rooted and flashified twrp this morning and it seemed to go well. Now I find that I can't turn off or reboot the phone - it freezes on the white MetroPCS screen and I have to remove the battery. Speaking of the battery, it's been running down much more quickly than before the rooting/twrping.

Any ideas of what might be causing these issues?
