So this is my first post on XDA, due to the lack of information on this particular device. Here I'll try to explain how I managed to root this device after trying several methods available here and all over the web. First I'll explain what didn't work:
VROOT (*)
Framaroot
Motochopper
SRS Root
MTK Toolkit
Nearly every solution on the web
After trying every method above, I noticed none of them were working. They all were giving false positives. No ROOT at all. I was kinda frustrated, 'cause I had followed every instruction possible, without success. I double checked my PC drivers, and I noticed something odd: Every time I changed the USB connection type on the L50, Windows installed different drivers for the device. I'm saying this was odd because I installed the drivers from LG drivers pack, so I was a bit confused. So, after Windows Installed the drivers for MTP, Modem, PTP and LG mode, I tried VROOT and... VOILÁ! I had ROOT:laugh::laugh:
So here are the steps I followed, and the tools I used:
Download VROOT (a.k.a. as IRoot) from w w w. mgyun. c o m / en / getvroot (without spaces)
Enable DEBUG MODE (Surf the web if you don't know on how to do it).
Plug your device to your PC and wait until Windows Installs the drivers for the connection type.
Without unplugging the device, Change the USB connection type to the next one. Wait 'till windows finishes installation.
Repeat the previous step untill you finish with all connection types.
Check Device Manager for missing drivers. If you have some missing, repeat steps above.
Open VROOT/IROOT and plug your device to the PC. Follow on-screen instructions and wait.
ENJOY!
Now, I have to find a Custom Recovery that works with L50... so if you guys know where I can get one, I'll appreciate your help.
Your Thread will be moved to appropriate Section.
So I tried to make a recovery for this phone, but it cannot boot. It says boot certification error, and the phone reboots normally.
So is it possible that the bootloader is locked? I want recovery for this phone too.
someone know how i can do a nandroid backup on LG L50 ?
Thank you so much. Worked on D213AR
Can you confirm if there is a way to unlock NFC hidden option on my phone?

If you managed to get Root (with the steps described on the OP) You can use Titanium Backup.

I rooted my device (ATT HTC One XL), but now I can't seem to be able to find it in my device manager. When I plugged it in to root it using this method, it appeared just fine. However, now that it's rooted (used root checker to make sure), it isn't appearing on my computer. USB debugging is on, and I've tried multiple USB ports and PC connection types (currently using charge-only). What am I doing wrong? I also can't seem to be able to find USB connection mode options in the notification pull-down. The phone is, however, charging, and the LED light is green.
I am also trying to unlock bootloader using these instructions, but I can't find the "Unlock-Bootloader.bat" file mentioned. I'm assuming they meant the "Spoof-CID.bat" file, which I ran, but it gets stuck at "Restarting ADB."
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, I'm running 4.0.3 and 1.85. Irrelevant, but will upgrading to 4.1 or 4.0.4 conflict with root/bootloader, and how would I achieve this upgrade?
Do not upgrade to 4.0.4 before unlocking and getting g superCID. You probably need an updated driver just download it from htcdev and retry

I can't seem to find the appropriate drivers on htcdev.com. I also tried to download the drivers here*, however since device manager doesn't recognize my phone, I can't install the drivers manually.

Bumping the thread, I want to be able to figure out the solution to be able to interact between my phone and PC, such as copying files over and the like.
I have Lenovo Lephone S686 with following specifications. If anyone has any idea on how to root this phone, please reply.
CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8225 Dual core 1.2GHz
GPU: Qualcomm Adreno203
Memory : RAM : 512MB / ROM : 4GB eMMC
Found already?
Am sick and tired of the stock....
tried 1-click root, king root, and all other root method and failed...
Anybody knows how to root this? bin4ry method did not work.
Hi everyone,
I found these instructions for rooting the Lenovo S686 from Chinese forums, you can try and see if it works. Below are the instructions which I translate from Chinese.
You need to install a 3rd party recovery, because S686’s original recovery cannot install unsigned update.zip. There are 2 kinds of update.zip, smaller one, about 1-2MB, is for obtaining root. The bigger one is for flashing the entire system. There is no 3rd party recovery for S686, but after looking at some other models’ recovery, I think we can use A765E recovery.
Turn on USB debugging. Connect USB wire. For desktop PCs, it is better to use the back USB port.
Download this: ht tp://pan [dot] baidu [dot] com/share [slash] link?shareid=415868&uk=4130114971
After uncompressing, you will get 2 files, update.zip and Lenovo_A765E_OneKeyTools.exe. Do not uncompress the update.zip. Just put it on the TF card.
Make sure the drivers are installed. Most of the time, if it doesn’t work, it is because of driver problems. You can check whether drivers are properly installed by going to Device Manager.
Installing fastboot driver: without disconnecting USB wire, turn off phone, take out the battery. While pressing ON and VOL -, connect USB wire. Most likely fastboot driver will install automatically.
Run 刷入中文Recovery (Chinese CWM recovery). Phone will reboot 3 times.
Entering recovery mode: Turn on the phone. Red LED will light up, before it goes off, press VOL + and -, hold until Lenovo logo appears. If you see Android recovery, it means the above steps did not work. If you see Chinese CWM recovery, flash in the update.zip that you put onto the TF card.
After this post on the Chinese forums, there were many people saying it works, and many people saying it does not work. I (tangys) could not get it to work with my S686. So either I am an idiot, or the guy who wrote the original post is an idiot. So please try it and post back here whether it works for you or not. Thanks.

hi.from where i can find kernel or some ROM for lenovo s686.thanks
This following method worked for me. Got ride of the bloatware that Lenovo put on there.
got the files from
www lenovohome net/thread-137736-1-1.html
some detailed instructions to setup here
lenovo zol com cn/177/1763_1767961.html
I'm a noob at rooting/changing firmware so took some extra time.
Need to setup the ADB drivers. This was slightly involved as the drivers from the phone ITSELF showed up as not properly signed. So I had to go and turn off the win8.1 check to get it properly installed. You end up with Lenovo ADB Device in device mgr and a few other Lenovo items.
Basically, there's an exe that you run (name has chinese char in it.. so it may look strange). It's an automated CWM installer. My version now shows CWM 6.0.1.5. All the text in there is in chinese.
Lastly, you flash in the update_v2.zip and when done, you get a root enabled , bloatware removed CYANOGENMOD system.
One note: when done flashing and you choose reboot, there is actually a prompt for you to "repair root". I've found that you must say yes at this point. Otherwise, root is not working when rebooted. You'll have to repair root later.
That's the good side. Now the bad side:
This phone only has 3 keys (pwr, vol+ / -) so there's currently no way to get menu button.
There is also no store in the version flashed....no sure how to install any apps
Need to resolve these issues.
*Solution - So my issue was that the person who sold me the phone had screwed up the partitions/download mode and so I had to manually push the bootloader laf.img files using fastboot from my pc while my phone is connected via usb.
I used parts from this tutorial that I found on th web: [unable to post due to insf. posts - google "FIX DEAD LG G2 - Unbrick / Fix Fastboot Mode - EASY METHOD" it's the first youtube video]
and here is the original site I found that lead me to my eureka moment: [unable to post due to insf. posts - google "lg g2 fast boot menu fix" it's the first link with the word "yakuza" in it]
Appreciate both of these individuals for providing the info, I'm now running CloudyG3 2.2 and loving it
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the title implies I'm trying to root my g2 d80130a which is already on lollipop 5.0.2.
I've tried the LG Single click root method and it fails on 75% (putting the phone in download mode) every time. I've tried updating drivers and restarting phone and pc but no luck. Always fails at 75% with my phone in download mode waiting for adb input.
Root Genius also fails saying "Your phone is so solid to root".. .assuming it means to say it's "to" solid to root but go figure .
I've heard of a mythical "Manural root method" but can't seem to find steps anywhere.
*I'm beginning to understand that the manual method is just doing all the steps manually that a particular script is automating for you. In attempting this, seaerching for the COM port in download mode seems to be the hiccup I'm not seeing a port when running the ports adb command. For now i'll start from there...
Been searching all day and looking for some direction, any help is truly appreciated.
Thanks,
Astro
ADB finds a port just fine when booted up in stock Lollipop but it fails to find a port in fastboot booted into download mode.
Tried to root Tecno Spark 5 pro (KD7) with magisk and after unlocking bootloader everything was working smoothly until i rebooted with the patched magisk image and now its stuck in bootloop.
Pressing power button and volume up to access boot menu doesn't work nor does connecting it to pc and trying to use adb shell.
I thought maybe the solution would be to try to let it run our of battery and try again but that will take a hell of a long time.
PLEASE!!! If there is any help or suggestions just let me know. Its a brand new phone as well ****

Hint: Add Tecno Spark 5 pro (KD7) to this thread's title thus mainly owners of such device get addressed.
can you access fastboot?
no it just keeps looping back to the android start and turns off:
it displays:
orange state
your device has been unlocked and cant be trusted
your device will boot in 5 seconds
then it turns off and repeats

This tutorial linked here fixed mine (also tecno spark 5 pro, mediatek 6765). my phone was also in orange state bootloop. exactly as you describe.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/repair-dead-hard-bricked-realme-3-3i-tutorial.4224255/
i had to slightly modify the instructions to suit the spark 5 pro. the only necessary changes are this
uninstall all usb vcom drivers you may have previously installed
FOLLOW THE TUTORIAL TILL YOU GET to where you have to download the bypass utility and exploits collection. please download the one with the mega link (ie Bypass utility compiled)
CONTINUE WITH THE TUTORIAL TILL YOU GET TO FLASHING FIRMWARE. here too my method deviated from the tutorial. even though my phone was detected as com9 by the bypass uility, i could not choose it in UART mode in sp flash tools. So just use usb mode in sp flash tools and it would still work.
CONTINUE WITH THE TUTORIAL. no need to load an authentication file. just load the scatter file and use "Download only" method
if you do this well your phone will be revived!

The phone doesn't need to be completely off. allow it to bootloop.
Just follow the process in the tutorial linked to and you should
be fine.
by the way am assuming your bootloader is already unlocked.

Hello Everyone..!
I Am Using Samsung M30s [Rooted]
[Please Read Patiently]4 To 5 Months Ago My Phone MTP Stopped Working.
Still Finding Solutions.
My Device Can't Be Recognized As A MTP Device By Any PC Via USB.
I Tried Many Cables And Many PCs.
My Phone Doesn't Show Fast Charging Since It Started Not Recognized By PC.
I Watched Almost All YouTube Videos About This Issue None Of Them Worked.
I Think It Would Be Charging Port Problem But I Am So Confused.
Please Help And Suggest Me Someting.
Whenever I Restart Or Switch-Off From Home Button My Root Getting Lost.
I Have To Click Factory Reset To Get Into Recovery In Order To Restore Root.
[I TRIED 100+ METHODS. I DID EVERYTHING BUT NO LEAD]
Thank You.!
In Android settings enable USB-MTP mode if not done yet.
BTW: If in phone's USB-options PTP is listed but not MTP, then maybe what Android may refer to as "File transfer" is the same as MTP.
Thanks For Your Reply But Sadly It Is Not The Problem.
As I Mentioned Above I Explored Almost All YouTube Videos On Related Topic.
This Is Not The Problem.
BTW Thanks...

The USB issues might be a hardware problem, the port itself might be faulty or maybe the soldering around the pins where it connects to your main board may need re-flowing due to breakdown from heat. Have you tried using wireless methods of transferring files between your device and PC?
But I don't see how that has anything to do with your device losing root. These issues may or may not be related.
Is your bootloader unlocked(OEM unlock)?
Do you have stock recovery or custom recovery?
What method did you use to root the device?
Hello Brother Thank You For Your Reply...
And I Will Sure Check Out My Charging Pin.

When you installed TWRP, what method did you use to install it? Which rooting method did you use, SuperSu or Magisk? Did your rooting method include flashing DM-verity?
Can you give me a link to the specific guide/video that you followed?
Install a terminal emulator app on the device, open the app and type the following commands:
su (press enter, grant superuser permission if prompted)
Then type:
reboot recovery
If you are properly rooted, have granted su permission to terminal emulator and if TWRP is properly installed in the correct partition, this should boot you into TWRP.
You may have overlooked a step or you may have missed a detail somewhere in your rooting method. Or you may have used an incorrect method or file for your specific device. Your device might require something that wasn't in the guide that you followed.
Off the top of my head, those are possible causes of your issue, I may think of others, if I do, I'll post them here.

The Video Guide I Followed While Rooting.
I Did All The Guy Did.
The Method You Told That Using "reboot recovery" Code In Terminal Emulator Is Booting As Usual Like ReBooting.
Doesn't Seems TWRP Exists
Thank You For Your Help..!
And I Wanted To Change The Port But When I Go To Nearby Service Centers They Are Not Seem To Be Right...!
They Told Me To Reset But I Can't Do It.
Whenever I Click On Factory Resett It Just Reboots
I Can't Reset My Phone.
But The Service Guys May Not Know About The Problem
