Are there any methods on unroot the LG G2 mini d618 variant? I've been looking on the internet and the forums for methods, i've managed to look on some but i doubted it.. I got one link but im not sure of it... http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-unroot-android-devices-manually/
and i also got a thread in the forums on LG RCT forgets that your phone is rooted... but i think its only for the d620r variant of the phone, and i doubt it will work on the d618...
Can someone verify if they have unrooted their d618 phone??
Pls help

Yeah I know about that one but I read that some LG phones are unrooted but RCT says that their phones are still rooted.. Are there any proofs?? I'm not risking of bricking my phone (I'm a noob in fixing issues)

Ohhh ok ok... I've been wanting to unroot bcuz I've been wanting to get the lollipop update for my phone.. And then I read that you can't receive OTAs if you are rooted.. And the thread also says that you can receive OTAs if you have the stock firmware and recovery (which I have) I've read that in some other thread in the forums..

there are some that are unrooted but their phones fail at updating or downloading OTAs, they are using SuperSu as their unrooting method.... im not so sure about it... as i saw in the google play (i think) that full unroot is not a guarantee unroot

How about checking out how to flash the stock firmware to your phone via computer? Either just flash the latest firmware if available or flash the latest available firmware and then perform the OTA update. Of course you could try to unroot your phone first.

i actually found a way to flash the stock firmware of the g2 mini but im unsure if this method can totally unroot the phone... (its bcuz LG's stupid RCT that is built in their phones which does really suck in my part)
So I used a 5.1 root method on this forum but can seem to undo it. I was waiting on updating to 6.0 but it seems I won't be able to unless I remove the root. Im stuck .
Did you root it manually yourself or just flash the rooted system img from 6th_Hokage? If you flashed the rooted system image, you should be able to flash the stock system img right back to the device and be 'stock' once more but I could be wrong on that.
If you manually rooted it with some other method I can't say for sure about an unroot - I just got one of these Boost Stylos yesterday so my experience with this model is limited. I had the MetroPCS model a few weeks ago and was able to do a bit more with that one I suppose.

Hi. I'm trying to get a smartphone for the first time.
I got an used and locked G Flex 2 LS996 to use at Ringplus out of my ignorance. I didn't know they have to be unlocked even if it's a Sprint phone for Sprint MVNO. I used this guide to root zv9. Following this sim-unlock guide seems to require downgrading to zv6, so now I'm at this guide.
But when I use LGUP, it says the version is 'LS996ZV4' even though what's installed is zv9, and trying to upgrade using linked file, LS991ZV6_12_ARB02.tot, results in error, 'Error: TOT file is invalid[1]'.
Any suggestions? Thank you.
I'm thinking of trying unroot zv9 -> downgrade to zv6 -> root zv6 -> unlock. Will it be safe? And I couldn't find unroot guide for zv9. Is it the same as zv6-8?
I made the back to stock guide its in general. You didnt look enough for it. You shouldnt downgrade to any version it will brick your device. ZV9 is unlockable just replace the files. I used the ones of G4 LS991. :good:

I saw your post for stock image files http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/return-to-stock-ls996-stock-img-t3217089, but I don't know how to do it. I tried LGUP, but it says I have zv4 when I have zv9. Upgrading to zv6 fails, as well. Did you mean another post?

By the way, if I get this phone unlocked following these guides, will I be able to use it on Ringplus? Will checking its MEID show clean financial check?
My guide explicitly says "USE EACH VERSION WITH ITSELF DO NOT DOWNGRADE OR YOU WILL BRICK".
If you followed rooting guide. Its the same process to go back to stock flashing just the system image with dd command. Dont follow all the lg g4 unlock guide all you need is to download the files and replace them. Use root explorer if you do it with the normal file explorer you wont find anything. And last im not in US territory so I dont know if it will work for ringplus.
Ok. Since two guides say different things about downgrading, I thought going from root to unroot has to be same version but downgrading from stock to stock was fine. Perhaps I got misinformation leading me to believe LG version of Android for its latest phones are the same.
Thank you for your input. I'll try later again and see what happens.

LS991 Sprint G4 could ve downgraded from ZV6 to ZV5. But not sprint LS996 Flex2.
Actually they root just like us with full system images. I had the G4 and I rooted it the same way we do.
Hello all,
I also have the ZV4 firmware for a sprint phone, what should i do to get the phone unlocked and on 5.1.1 ?
Hello,
I would like to ask if there is some safe method to root this phone? On 6.0 I downloaded newest kingroot application and ended up like that:

Simply by having secure boot error by after restarting the phone.
refresh, anyone?
Rooting is never safe.

On phone: settings->phone info->update->software update, or if your phone is rooted use lg bridge

I didn't get the OTA so I just used Bridge.
God, my first phone without root on latest version, without custom roms and without unlocked bootloader :/
Yea so... I'm on my H635 G4 Stylus, android 6.0 and I tried everything to root it and nothing works. When I was on 5.1.1 I was able to root it with King(o)Root but when I restarted the phone, the root went away. Now I even tried to flash old KDZ file with android 5.1.1 and LG Flash Tool 2014 says some error and LG UP cannot recognize the phone. And i researched ALL the possibilities to make LG UP and Flash Tool work but still can't recognize it. So that means that I cannot downgrade the phone. Then I tried to root this 6.0 android I have and tried all sorts of things and no results. When I tried to root it with OneClickRoot it said that the root is currently unavailable but they will notify me as soon as they get it working. I even tried LG Root script. I mean... This phone has only 8gb of storage and 4 gigs is system only... Of course I have a memory card inside but this solves nothing. I wish this phone would finally be rootable because I want to hide those soft keys cause they looks stupid (there is app that hides them but its not "legit", the root version of the app is what I want) and delete some of the system apps.... And it would be cool that somebody would make something like slim rom that would be like 1gb in size. It's just not fun having it and I know this phone is very capable if someone spent a little bit of their time on this device. I'm so unhappy...
Did you find a way to root - im seraching, too
I still need this so do others please someone make something
I want to root my note edge SM-N915G (which i recently updated to marshmallow (officially - using system auto update)) using CF auto root. I have been reading tutorials on the internet on how to use it. It says to download the right Files first from the autoroot.chainfire.eu site.
but the one for the SM-N915G (android 6.0.1) has a build number of MMB29M.N915GXXS1DPH3 while the one on my phone is MMB29M.N915GXXU1DPG6. is that ok?
they also have a warning about this:
UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS
If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device - with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically "OEM unlock" and wipe your data !
is it safe for me to root my phone, or i have to fulfill some prerequisites first?? thanks

I think the method on the link you provided will work (cant try it though because my phone is currently bricked)
The one that bricked my phone is when i use the cf auto root using the files on there site .. i think the problem is about locked bootloader on android m .. not sure though. . I will definitely try the method in the link you provided after my phone is fixed
