Root [TMobile] Root/Unlock (Added Video) D50010b Firmware

[androidguy1991]

Hello everyone,

I thought I share how I rooted this device.
I found a thread on xda and I was able to root successfully without any issues. As far as Unlocking, I have not tried that out? If you have success at unlocking please post your outcome so others will know if it works or not.

Here is a video I made:

Hope the video helps for some people.

Hello users I have recently bought a new T-Mobile LG Optimus F6.

For those of you who may have just purchased one or need one rooted and or unlocked here is how to do it.

Root:

Download MotoChopper.zip that is attatched at the bottom.

Then place your phone in Debugging mode. Also check unknown sources in security.

Unzip the MotoChopper and look for "run.bat"

Once that is all done you should have root access.



Unlock:

I use Blowfish Unlocks. You can use who ever you prefer.

Dial *#06# and that will be your IMEI number.

Next submit for the code and wait.

When it comes back use: SIM_UNLOCK=00000000000000

Now to enter the code you have to put in a non supported sim and dial 2945#*500#

Then choose Network Unlock and enter your code. If the first code doesnt work do not panic.

You have 10 attempts and you usually get back 5 different codes. Try them until one works. But to be sure double check that you submitted the right IMEI to begin with.

Enjoy

You might need the drivers. Install LG Mobile Support Tool Make sure your phone is not plugged in. Click on install USB drivers on the right of it. Click the drop down and select T-Mobile and then find LGD500BK. There should be two of them. Just install the first one. Then plug in your phone and you should be able to root without any problems.

I don't suppose this would work for metro F6's would it?

I'm guessing the metro version will not work with this? People with metro said this will not work?

I've got drivers installed via LGMobile Support Tool. I have USB Debugging on, unknown sources checked. USB connected to LG Software. When I run run.bat it:
tells me to push any key, I do
says waiting for device....
daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037
daemon started successfully

... then nothing

is that is? I was expecting something more. Nothing seems to be changed with the phone.

Any ideas?

Try a factory reset before you try to flash the kdz.

Just a quick note for anyone who's having trouble -- try Linux. I just assumed that it was a Windows only tool, and failed with both XP and 7 -- but then noticed the .sh files and tried it with Ubuntu and it worked perfectly.

I believe its for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Any reason why the" Saferoot" method isn't here somewhere? Simple, quick, one-click...

I have a Tmobile LG f6. I rooted it via Towelroot no problem . it's one click way...at least it worked for me no problem. Took literally 20 sec.

leorookie, I also used the Towelroot when I rooted my Tmobile LG f6 with no issues whatsoever. And as you said, it did it quick as hell too.
