I hace tried every single method and it seems its impossible to root 5042T running 4.4.4 KitKat... Any help will be apriciated.:crying:
Been trying to root mine for some time too, tried all the app ones(kingroot ect), even desktop versions and no luck. Would appreciate some help too.
I need help with this as well.
I found out that the latest firmware blocks root. I successfully rooted mine with Kingroot for the A3CUMC1 firmware. You need to downgrade the firmware then apply root.
it's easy to root 5042t
it's easy to root 5042t
1) KingRoot-5.0.5.apk
2) after rooting reboot and install other version of KingRoot-4.8.1-136.apk, reboot
3) then install SuperSUme-6.7.0-Pro.apk and it will remove KingRoot exchanging it on SuperSU
4) then apdate SuperSU till SuperSU-2.78-2-Pro.apk
5) Plus it's not bad after all to install BusyBox-51-Pro.apk and ADB-Insecure-2.00.apk and Apps2SD-12.6Pro.apk

Hi every one,
I currently am using an LG G2 from tmobile (801 model). My device says its rooted but it doesnt have root access because I forgot to flash supersu binaries before i flashed the 4.4.2 version of the software. But now my custom recovery doesnt exist anymore.
I've tried using LG flash tools to flash back to 4.2. stock settings to start over but I am unable to do so for some reason. LG Flash tools isnt able to recognize my G2 in download mode. My computer is able to recognize my G2 when it is turned on though.
So is there anyway to flash a custom recovery without root access?
Or is there anyway to flash supersu binaries without a custom recovery using ADB?
I've tried trouble shooting with multiple threads and multiple downgrade methods but none of them are giving me any luck. I really want to flash a custom rom on my LG g2 and have the benefits of root access.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All you need to do is install the towelroot.apk to give instant temporary root. Then install SuperSU from the dev thread here on xda or from the play store. After installing SuperSU go to its settings and select install as a system app and reboot when finished. It might take 2 attempts before it successful (it always takes me 2 tries). Then uninstall towelroot as it's no longer required since you've gained permanent root. Now install the autorec.apk and you'll install TWRP recovery. Now that you have root and recovery and have control of your device you can customise to taste. In my case I always install busybox and a terminal emulator so I can further fine tune my system.
I hope this helps

still got issues :/

However even when i go into supersu, it keeps saying my binaries are not up to date. So i cant install anything and I cant do anything to install a custom recovery without root access.

So you have installed Towelroot, achieved root then having issues installing the SuperSU.apk this is indeed an issue. Towelroot should allow for it to be installed. When you install Towelroot do you get the warnings from the installer and Lookout that the package contains an exploit? Do you interrupt or stop it from fully installing when you see the warnings? The only thing I can think of is you are doing something wrong when installing towelroot which is prohibiting it from doing its job in gaining root.
Hi everyboby,
I'm new to the world of rooting and beyond. Just bought a LG G2 F320K (Korean version) a few weeks ago. The phone came with Android 4.2.2 Kitkat. Upgraded to 5.0.1 through OTA (the present software version is F320K30j, Android 5.0.1). I tried to root the phone with one-click method (LG_One_Click_Root_v1.3.msi). The phone was reportedly rooted but SuperSU did not show up automatically. I downloaded the SuperSU from the PlayStore only to find out that there was no su binary installed and SuperSU couldn't install it. I've tried to find out how to install the binary and found out that the only way to do it is to flash a zip file which in turn needs a custom recovery, which in turn needs the phone to be rooted (Isn't that funny!) I've tried manually root the phone by using the LG Root tool with no success (the phone refused to carry out the last command) . Is there anyway to solve this problem? Thank you.
Hi, I tried to root my device many times and I have the same result with each try ( root fai code 0x174B87) with kingoroot , I cant root my at&t device SGS4 (I9505xxUFNB) "4.4.2 kitkat" , I dont know how to deal with this problem but I hope u find one and help me , I suffered from along time ago hoping to root my device
Thank u
i9505 is not the ATT version, it is the international version. If it is indeed the i9505 version, then just use Chainfire's CF Auto Root package or put Chainfire's SuperSU zip on your phone and use Odin to install TWRP recovery, reboot directly to it before it boots to the OS and install the zip.
Hi,
Wondered if anyone would be able to help.
I rooted my phone with KingRoot a while ago, but recently i was reading that KingRoot was a bit 'dodgy'.
For this reason i downloaded SuperSuMe and ran it, and it removed KingRoot but didn't set up SuperSU.
Now it won't let me reinstall KingRoot and SuperSU wont install binaries so i can't get this to work. Is there anyway to force reinstall of KingRoot to get everything back to normal?
Thanks,
uninstall supersume and get the propper root (unlock bootloader, boot to twrp recovery, and from twrp recovery flsh supersu.zip). you cna find the guide here on XDA/idol3 threads.
Thanks Dallas I'll see what I can do over the weekend
I successfully rooted my Ascend G6 U-10 with RootGenius, however when I try to install SuperSU through standard method it fails. How can I replace KingRoot with SuperSU? I actually think one of the problems is some files cannot be modified due to some file attributes.
EDIT: I solved the problem by using Koush Superuser zip in the recovery, you just need to flash it and you have root access without any of that KingRoot crap.
