Help Rooting the LG Optimus F3

[grlboygrlboy]

Hey I was using the steps outlined in the following video youtu.be/VlvLf5kCLIo for rooting my phone and moving apps to the SD card, but after I finished running motochopper and opened the Superuser app it asked me to update the superuser binary. When I tapped install it said "There was an error installing Superuser. Please send a log to the developer." When I went into AParted and declined the Advert/homepage offer it never even asked for Superuser access, and didn't recognize the 16Gb Sd card I had in the slot

If you need extra details I'd be happy to provide them

Motochopper won't work on ZV6. If you updated the phone when you got it, it'll be using ZV6 software. You'll need saferoot. It runs just like motochopper, but it actually works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2559636&d=1391563147

Run the install.bat file as administrator and make sure you have the LG ADB driver installed of course. Running windows 7 is your best bet. Good luck.

Thank you. Since I already used Motochopper will I need to do a factory reset or can I simply use saferoot from where I've reached?

Is the device rooted from motor chopper if not and u have all the drivers for saferoot kick it in high gear for safe root . I used safe root dammmm if was so smooth and easy . the only thing with safe root is YOU NEED TO INSTALL YOUR OWN RECOVERY. this can be safestrap etc .

Will I need to factory reset my phone since I did use motochopper unsuccessfully?

No

Your super su app needs to update

 

[djgeminica]

Yeah, it wont update either.

 

[djgeminica]

Yeah, it wont update it either. :-( THATs when I get the error.

 

[BRAINZ2013]

You need to select normal on that pop up . and you need to log into your gmail for the play store . this will update the supersu app

 

[djgeminica]

Well, now it says i have no binary for supersu. I will try to use saferoot again and then try to use supersu again. I appreciate your help very much. Ill let you know. ;-)

 

[BRAINZ2013]

No problem

Now when i try to use link2sd app to move files to the sd card it tells me App2sd not compatible with phone, need to link. So I.link it but when I go to my storage settings the apps are still on the internal drive. Ugh! This is killing me. Not even sure i rooted my phone either. I cant tether for free OR get apps for free. What am I doing wrong?

Just get the root checker from the Google play store
