Thanks to Korean user and XDA user Unjustified Dev, we now have root for LG G Flex 2!
I've just verified it works flawless on my Korean LG G Flex 2 (and should work on all U.S./international variants), here's a video tutorial also while at it:
Original Guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
Also my guide here:
http://highonandroid.com/android-smartphones/how-to-root-lg-g-flex-2-g2-g3-on-lollipop/
Have fun rooting!
thanks a lot! my h959 got rooted!
ps:in the final step, i hold down Volume Down and Power buttons ,instead of up and power
This WORKS for my F510K G Flex 2, as the previous reply, u guys hv to press [vol-] and [power] instead of [vol+], nice work, keep it up.
BTW, Here's my walk-through guiding video of HOW TO ROOT the g flex 2 in Chinese in Cantonese, with subtitles. Hope all the Chinese forum users enjoy the video!

Root works
Just rooted my LG G Flex 2 (LG-H955) using this method, worked perfectly. This phone is unable to have the battery removed so hold "Vol+, Power and Vol-" (simultaneously) to reboot the device when in Download Mode.

Does anyone know if root will work with latest update from Sprint?
didn't see deflate commands come up
Great guide. I saw able to follow up to the last step when I was not getting the inflating messages. It looks like the attachment. Was there anything with the syntax that I messed up with this command? Is there an additional command I can run to get the inflating commands to come up?
Thanks!
Update, the phone is stuck on the LG logo and did not startup all the way
Any1 rooted v10e on H955?
does this root method work on the ATT model too??

if you get /system/xbin/spritebud does not exist
what is the issue. (running version 4.4.2) - LG-F260S LG Optimus LTE 3
i've installed the .apk.
enable debugger mode
enable debugger mode on the application
turned phone off and back on
did a backup
did a restore
ran again same error
i'm a noob, go gently with the sandpaper to the arse. maybe new version not supported.

thats what im guessing, LG made a new patch in the kit kat update, i would be careful im not sure if it has a locked boot-loader and could brick it if you try other ways, just wait for an official root method.
Likewise have version 4.4.2 loaded on my F260S and tried several rooting methods with no luck. Am really hoping someone could help us with this dilemma and provide a solution
any solutions yet? specifically for v20f. as advised by a vietnamese site, I need to downgrade to v10m. Unfortunately I always get an error at 4 - 5 % of the upgrading stage and wouldn't pass that point and the connection with the fone (serial port 41, windows7) disconnects

If you dont want to lose data and etc and just want unroot then go to SUPERSU and then go to settings and scroll to the bottom and do Full Unroot.

Hi ,
I did root my XT1032 and all apps were crashing hence i wanted to unroot . I did unroot through SuperSU . First it hung for a long time then after few tries it succeeded. Now after unroot too all the apps keeps crashing. Can someone help me to fix this ?
Simply rooting a phone should not cause apps to crash. I think it may be another app or another modification that is causing the problems.
What else did you do to the phone before it started crashing?

Exactly ! I installed Font Changer and applied Walt Disney font. There was no effect though but yes , the crash started happening only after that. I did uninstall the app again but no luck.
Stock Firmware ?
Just followed CF-AutoRoot and never flashed ROM's.
---------- Post added at 07:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 AM ----------
The firmware was Kitkat 4.4.4 when it was shipped and later updated to Lollipop 5.0.1 .
Guys, Here's a good news. You can now spend 1-3 minutes by following the steps below to "unlock" the Dual Window function.
Dual Window Mod
-all apps can be used with dual window, including system apps and 3rd party apps
Preparations
1. Root the device
2. Install Root Explorer(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer)
**If you're having trouble rooting the device, you may follow the instructions in the videos
[EN] Credits to zedomax
[Chinese with subtitles] This is my work, enjoy~~
Instructions
1. Open Root Explorer
2. head to" /system"
3. change file system to "R/W"
4. open "build.prop" with Text Editor
5. edit "persist.splitwindow.support_all=false" this line from "false" to "true"
*this line can be found somewhere near the bottom or middle-to-bottom
6. save and exit
7. now quit Root Explorer and reboot the device
8 CONGRATZ, YOU NOW HAVE YOUR DUAL WINDOW MODDED
HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY THIS MOD
will try it out after my final paper
btw Op also Olleh models too ?
Followed guide and worked perfectly. Thank you for sharing.
Good afternoon,
thanks!!!
