2: Root.Zip
(Link) https://app.box.com/s/qn16zoqedbilyouughqv8bafzg72ygh0
I have made a zip with everything you will need
Step 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) as opposed to MTP or Simple Charging
Step 2.) Open a command prompt in the (UNZIPPED root 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/
Step 3.) Put your device in download mode
(while powered off hold volume up and plug in usb until download mode is shown)
In command prompt in the (UNZIPPED root 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
Step 4.) 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
After that download Root Checker Basic from the Playstore and check root and Enjoy, I'm passing this Info on from another source, I am not taking credit. Credit I guess goes to
Unjustified Dev
This root method works on every LG device to date and many are going to be questioning where it came from so you also need to include the link like I did in my original post so they can take a look at the original guide and know it's origin. You could also change the thread to LG root method for some devices or some sort since it has worked on every device so far even the G3 and various other ones

Recently I've got a cheap Motorola Backflip for Telus, then I start exploring and find a solution to upgrade to 2.3.7. I've spent 2 whole days facing the computer but eventually got the solution.
I don't know is there anyone still using this ancient phone but I wish this thread can help the one who needs this and also update some of the out-dated processes.
Origin: Android 1.5
Let's start:
(The following are tested on a telus backflip)
First Root
1) Go setting>Application> Development>USB debugging. check the debugging box
Put a at least 1GB memory card in your phone
2)Connect your phone to computer. USB connecting type: "charge only"
3)Download pdanet so that they can install the driver you need, run it after you downloaded it with your phone connected to the computer
http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php
4)Download adb and extract all the files to the root of (C: )
http://www.mediafire.com/?tntogmymgo16ac0
5)Download the rageagainstthecage file, create a file called "Moto_MSM_Root" in (C: ), then extract all the files into "Moto_MSM_Root" in (C: )
http://www.mediafire.com/?azcraghfl12sw8w
6)Download “Terminal Emulator” and "Rootchecker" and put them in the root of (C: )
http://www.iapktop.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=5181
http://goo.gl/KEt1Z
7)Computer: Enter (C: )drive and then hold "shift" on your keyboard and right click, choose to open the command prompt
8)Code
8a)Verify the connection by typing the following code, if it shows your devices serial and "device" side by side, you are good to go
Code:
adb devices
Example:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX device
8b)start rooting
Code:
adb install RootCheckPro.apk
adb install Android_Terminal_Emulator_v1.0.32.apk
adb push c:\Moto_MSM_Root\Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push c:\Moto_MSM_Root\su /sdcard/su
adb push c:\Moto_MSM_Root\rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
adb push c:\Moto_MSM_Root\install-root.sh /data/local/tmp/install-root.sh
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
chmod 0755 install-root.sh
Keep your phone connecting to the computer
9)Backflip: open the terminal emulator in your Backflip
10)type the following in the terminal emulator on Backflip
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
11)Wait for a while until you see this message
Code:
[+] Forked xxxx childs.
12)Close the " terminal emulator"
13)Open " terminal emulator" and type the following (!My " terminal emulator" failed to open after closing it, so I force close it by this method: Setting>Application>Manage Applications>terminal emulator>Force close! Open terminal emulator again and type the code):
Code:
/data/local/tmp/install-root.sh
14)If the script doesn't show nothing, then your backflip is rooted!
15)Open "RootChecker" in your phone to verify "root"
Second Flashing ROM (CM7.2)
1)Download the ROM and other things we needed to run CM7 perfectly, DO NOT extract them, put them in (C: )Drive
CM7.2: http://get.cm/get/jenkins/2849/cm-7.2.0-motus.zip
gapps-gb-20110828:http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
(For non-AT&T Backflip ONLY) : signed-IT_radio.zip:http://www.mediafire.com/?pco663926xf2ccm
2)Download recovery.img and EXTRACT it to (C: )drive
recovery.img:http://www.mediafire.com/?4limlcamj4tv7dl
3)Computer: Enter (C: )drive and then hold "shift" on your keyboard and right click, choose to open the command prompt
4) Verify your device first ,if it shows your devices serial and "device"side by side, you are good to go
Code:
adb start-server
adb devices
5)Plug in your phone via USB and in "charge only" mode, check usb debugging
6)Code in the command prompt
Code:
adb push c:\cm-7.2.0-motus.zip /sdcard/cm-7.2.0-motus.zip
adb push c:\gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip /sdcard/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
adb push c:\signed-IT_radio.zip /sdcard/signed-IT_radio.zip
adb push c:\recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
exit
exit
7) Reboot the phone in recovery mode. First, power off the phone>hold camera button –> Press power button while keep holding the camera button> hold until your see the screen with green letter. Then, press volume down key immediately. Don't concern what it says in this stage.
8)You should have enter the recovery mode with a green Android background
9)Use Volume Keys to navigate, home button for enter and Back button for back.
10)Select Wipe>wipe all and then confirmed by clicking the home button
10.1) (For non-AT&T Backflip ONLY) Click back and then select “Flash zip from SD”, select "signed-IT_radio.zip" and hit home button twice
After finish flashing this, reboot the phone to recovery.
11) Back to the main menu, select “Flash zip from SD”, then select "cm-7.2.0-motus.zip" hit home button twice
After finish flashing this, click back once
12)select "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" and hit home button twice
13) select "Reboot system now"
14) It would take about 15-20 mins for the first boot-up
15) Done and Enjoying using CM7.2 Android 2.3.7
ATTENTION: I won't be held accountable for any damage to your phone, you take your own risk.
All the resources in the guide are from different website and developer, all the effort belongs to them. Please visit their own website/forum and support them.
ATTENTION: After flashed to Italian radiio, I can't detect telus network on my phone but it becomes usable for Rogers/Bell/Virgin/chatr/
Take your own risk
HOPE YOU CAN DO IT!

Rooting Method for ZV8 has been found!
You will need:
LGPwn.apk
SpriteBud in "/System/xbin/"
SuperUser.apk
Steps to Root:
First, we must make sure you have spritebud. You can check for this via ADB with this code.
ADB:
Code:
adb shell ls -l /system/xbin/spritebud
If you get any error message along the lines of "no such file or directory", then you my friend are unable to root. Otherwise, you should be presented with information about spritebud, and that is your golden ticket to root
Ok for those who have spritebud please continue on. If you did not have spritebud, you can download the txt file attached for instructions on how to root the zv8 in your case. Its a bit of a longer process but sure does work.
Step: 1
Download LGPwn.apk and install to your phone either via ADB or Transfer to your sdcard.
To install Via ADB, move LGPwn.apk to where your adb directory is at.
Press "Shift" and Right click and click on "Open command window here"
Type in the CMD window "ADB DEVICES" and make sure your phone is visible.
*If not reconnect the phone and make sure USB Debugging is ON.
Then type ADB INSTALL LGPwn.apk
Wait a few seconds and LGPwn.apk should be succesfully installed.
Step: 2
Now go to your phone and Open LGPwn.apk
READ popup message
Press "root me" to carry on the next part
When Backup has launched, choose Restore
Choose Internal storage
Choose LGPwn
Hit OK at the popup about Cross Model Restore
Make sure the Applications checkbox is checked, then select Continue
Let the app finish the restoring process
Step: 3
When done install SuperUser.apk that is attached to this post.
And with that finished you should be rooted!
This root method works on many LG devices, here’s a list of devices it should work on:
LG G Flex 2
LG G Flex
LG G3
LG G2
LG F60
LG Tribute
LG MS395/D393
LG L90
LG Transpyre
LG Volt (LS740)
If your device is not listed, do try it and let us know and we will update this list.
Before we begin, you will need a Windows computer to root your LG device.
Step 1. Go to Settings->About Phone->Software Info then hit on the “Build number” about 5 times until it says “You are now a developer”.
Step 2. Hit back button twice and now you should see “Developer options”, select it.
Step 3. Make sure “USB Debugging” is checked ON.
Step 4. Connect a micro-USB cable from your LG phone to your computer.
Step 5. Download LG_Root.zip and unzip the files.
Step 6. Make sure you have proper drivers installed. Go to Device Manager and find “ADB Interface”. If you don’t see it, download LG Drivers and install it. Then you should be able to see it.
Step 7. Open a command prompt then type:
cd Downloads
cd LG_Root
adb devices
Then unplug and plug the micro-USB on your phone until you see “Allow USB debugging” on the phone.
Select “Always alllow from this computer” then hit “OK”.
Type “adb devices” and you should see a serial number along with “device”. If you see this you are ready.
Step 8. Next copy and paste the following:
adb.exe push busybox /data/local/tmp/ && adb.exe push lg_root.sh /data/local/tmp && adb.exe push UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp
Step 9. Power off your LG phone and unplug the micro-USB cable. Then WHILE HOLDING DOWN the Volume Up button, plug in the micro-USB cable. You should see “Downloading…”.
Step 10. Next, double-click on “ports.bat” and read the COM number next to “DIAG1″. (Note, some users have reported you must do Right Click->Run As Administrator to get this step working although I didn’t have to.)
Step 11. Next, type:
Send_Command.exe \\.\COM24
But replace COM24 with the COM number you found in Step 10.
Then type:
sh /data/local/tmp/lg_root.sh dummy 1 /data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp/busybox
Step 13. Once rebooted, you should find SuperSU app in your app drawer and a fully rooted phone!
You can download and run Titanium Backup app to verify full root!
NOW YOU ARE FULLY ROOTED:good::good::good::good::good:
Excuse me for posting a URL mods, but you copied this word for word from

Which is based on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
I find your lack of acknowledgment rude and you don't even supply links to the download packages (LG_Root.zip) , someone could brick their device if they mess around with random files. At least consider acknowledging the original website and upload the pictures.

This guide is for a brand new Boost Mobile LG Volt (LGLS740.) 4/4/2015
I had an LG Realm that I rooted in less than 5 minutes with Kingo Root. Cracked the screen, didn't have time to fix it so I went and bought the LG Volt from Boost Mobile. I've spent around 7 months trying to root the stupid thing with one-click utilities and other tricks and gave up.
Finally I found a guide that got me on the right path and made it happen. Now keep in mind I didn't have to flash back to earlier versions of firmware for anything you can do this on ZV5.
First download the attachment (LG_Root.zip) and unzip it too your desktop or wherever you wish.
make sure you have the LG_unified drivers installed(I did all this in Windows 7 but it shouldn't matter.)
And now I pass you off to this brilliant man's guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...lg-devices-t3049772/post59309508#post59309508
It took me all of two minutes to root the phone. Don't be afraid. To sum it all up:
1. Install drivers, extract LG_root.
2. Make sure the usual is done(Enable USB debugging, allow untrusted vendors)
3. Hold shift and left click in the window to open command line in the proper directory
4. type adb.exe devices in the command window or just paste it from here, and make sure your device shows up.
5. copy and paste this to the command prompt: adb.exe push busybox /data/local/tmp/ && adb.exe push lg_root.sh /data/local/tmp && adb.exe push UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp which pushes the supersu utility to your phone.
6. a: Power off your device
b:When the device is powered off, hold volume up and insert a USB cable connected to the PC
c:Wait for the drivers to install
7. Double click ports.bat (This will give us the COM port in which our device is connected we are looking for the Diag port, mine was com4, com3 didn't even show up in mine so no worries.)
8. Go back to your command prompt window(close the Ports.bat window if you want.) and paste: Send_Command.exe \\.\COM4 (This opens the channel to send commands to the diag port.)
9. Paste this final command to your command prompt when the channel is open: sh /data/local/tmp/lg_root.sh dummy 1 /data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp/busybox
10. Once it's done you can pull the battery.
FYI: I had trouble a couple of times while in firmware mode and had to restart once or twice before I did it all correctly. Also, I know I'm just basically copying Unjustified_Dev's post but it took me around 7 or 8 months to find a way that worked with this phone so I just want it to be easier for people to find and confirm that it works for the LG Volt(LGLS740) when you try to find a way to root it. And NONE of the one click utilities worked for me.
Thanks everyone and especially Unjustified Dev, I hope this helps and brings some attention to this phone model. I remember I had a certain version of the Motorola Razr(V3XX) or something and I could barely ever get anything hacked with it, it was frustrating as hell!

Easy way to get root access on BNTV460 (Nook Tablet 7" with Android Oreo)
This is a simple way of getting temporary root access on the Nook Tablet 7"(8.1.0 Go edition).
Needed materials:
The Nook you want temporary root on
A usb cable
A computer with ADB installed (I suggest using a Linux Distro for this because it doesn't require you to install drivers)
Big Note:
Any thing you do to mess up your device is on you. I am not responsible for your own actions. Modifying certain partitions while you have root may result in a device that needs to be reflashed.
Pre-setup:
1. Go to Settings < System < About tablet < Continuously tap on Build Number until it says you are now a developer
2. Exit Settings
3. Go to Settings < System < Developer options < Scroll down to USB Debugging and tap it so it is turned on.
1. First thing to do is to download the release file from https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/amazing-temp-root-mediatek-armv8-t3922213 under current version.
2. After that, extract the zip file you downloaded.
3. In a terminal, cd into the location of the mtk-su_rXX/arm (replace XX with the revision number of the file you downloaded).
Example cd command:
Code:
cd /home/yourusername/Downloads/mtk-su_r18/arm/
3.5. Plug in the Nook Tablet 7" into your computer and go into the notifications (swipe down from top). You should see something that says "Android System: USB charging this device. Tap it twice and choose Transfer Files. (If you don't do this, ADB won't work)
4. After that, follow the commands from the XDA page that you downloaded the file from except on the first one, replace path/to/mtk-su with mtk-su
5. If you follow the commands correctly, you should get
Code:
UID: 0 cap: 3fffffffff selinux: permissive
Uses for this:
If you know what you are doing having root is very useful. Big things you can do is backup your partitions to an external SD card so you can be assured you have them backed up in case you have to reflash them.
Issues with this method:
1. It goes away after every reboot
2. It sometimes gives permission denied
- This goes away if you restart the device and rerun mtk-su
Give all of your thanks to diplomatic on the thread about mtk-su, as he deserves any thanks he can receive for his amazing work.
