How to root LG L50 Sporty (a.k.a LG D213c)

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.

So is it possible to root the phone with the official rom?
Or am i missing something?

[Completed] [Q] Dump ROM/Enter Recovery on Device with no External Buttons or Ports of Any Kind

Pretty much as the title states. I'm currently working on trying to dump the ROM from my Xiaomi Mi Box Min but there is no way for me to either;
A. Enter Recovery Mode
B. Replace the stock recovery with TWRP because I cannot hook the rockchip based device to MTK-TWRP because there's no usb port to connect it to PC and no way for me to issue a reboot recovery command in terminal.
All of the recovery apps I've tried require root access, which this box does not have. Any help what-so-ever is appreciated.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I think what your asking is impossible. But see if anyone in this thread can help, http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...iaomi-mi-box-mini-super-tiny-android-t3067978

[Completed] How to unbrick Xperia S lt26i [not a noob]

I have a Xperia S running cm 12.1 with unlocked bootloaders TWRP installed and i tried to partition my SD card [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584759] but clearly something went wrong and now the phone wont boot. I made a lot of research and tried everything but all the guides require to be able to boot into flashmode . My phone is dead the only sign of life is a red led when its charging which after some hours of charge will shut off. When the light is off and the phone connected on PC, the PC can recognize the device on unspecified devices (QHSUSB_DLOAD). i have installed all the needed drivers from Sony, google drivers from sdk, and adb drivers(adb wont see the device and i tried everything to do so, but nothing seem to work). I got a market for android on my pc called mobogenie that when i connect the phone it detects that a phone is connected but wont see what phone.The hardware reset buttons work but its useless in the current position. Concluding, the phone is bricked and wont open in fastboot-flashboot-bootloader-TWRP, its recognized as a device but not as "Xperia s" i got all the drivers and i want to flash the original firmware (already downloaded) to fix it. A possible problem is that the partition table is destroyed and after the flash it will hopefully be restored. The problem is not on the hardware but on software. I tried to trigger the download mode with the Samsung way (USB jig, 300k ohm ) but nothing happened as expected. Every solution i found required flash mode which is not accessible at the moment and i tried lots of things to go into fastboot(ever the rubber band trick,remove the battery etc). PLEASE help i dont know what to do, please help me flash it (i already got flashtool, Emma) or anohter solution. Thanks for the help in advance. (its my first thread in the forum, i hope to post it on the right section, i posted it here because i need the assistance of the developers i guess)

Sorry.Post removed

You should try to restore stock ROM and if it won't work, then you should send it to service repair.

As i understand...restoring means using flashtool? if so my phone doesnt get into flashmode..any idea how to restore?

If you can't get into flashmode then you really should send it to service repair.

hello @tromine thanks for your suggestion.
i have one question related to "flashmode" drivers.
when you press vol-down button and connecting USB after that, should the flashtool installs flashmode drivers for D2302?
can you suggest me what should appear in device manager (see pic 2).
im using windows 10 home 64-bit OS and X64-bit processor PC.
can you please suggest.

Summary : I was able to restore the device.
How: I found that bcoz of 3rd party USB cable i wasn't able to get into flash mode(though fastboot,USB data transfer work using 3rd party cable).
Very importantly in my case .......This ROM FIUI-2.5-UNOFFICIAL-eagle saved me somehow by giving me IMEI number and SIMs were working. later using flashtool i did flash having right ftf. i guess i lost IMEI , signal by flashing wrong ROMs(mine was D2302 eagle-ds Indian version)
Now I'm able to fully restore the device with all functionalities working as usual, I'm so relieved now.
I felt like a noob and a geek at the same time lol.
Thanks for all devs who created all those wonderful tools.
OP: please close this thread.

Glad to see that you solved your problem

Hi! Im facing the exact same prob with my xperia m2 dual (d2302).
No sim card is detected but everything else is working on stock rom. I tried flashing FIUI as you said above but am still unable get any signal on either of my sim cards. Please help, Thanks!

Google Xperia m2 drivers, you need additional drivers (you can find them on Sony mobile) to flash M2. Green led also blik and disappear for me but Flashtool tell me that phone is connected in Flashmode.
Good Luck!
