Root How to root the LG Leon/LG Power

[The-Truth]

Well soft bricked again trying to use remove kngroor to superSU made a back up even named the folder something else so TWRP could locate it or whatever. So I can see my backup zips but nothing happens when I press on one as if there not ever there idk. So I'm back on my F6 till a ROM comes out that I can flash. Then I can play around and gain superSU I'm sure. Is there any stock ROM firwate etc. I can flash? This sucks what good is a nandroid backup if it can be recognized to flash the zips?

I was able to successfully install Kingroot from the OP's link, root, then install and run Super-Sume and run SuperSU just fine on two MetroPCS LG Leon's with MS34510d installed.

Both were on MS34510b and rooted before I manually updated via LG Support Tool to MS34510d, then installed Kingroot and did the SuperSU replacement.

This is what I'm going to try. Did you disable OTA updates after rooting? I'm afraid an update will destroy the root.

 

[Rev_Pizzaguy]

I did not disable OTA updates after rooting. It won't automatically install updates anyway. It'll just prompt you to install and can tell it yes/no.

Apologies for raising this thread from the dead, but a couple of questions...

Is there any way to fully restore to factory settings on the LG Power model? I rooted and uninstalled some Tracfone apps, but after uninstalling KingRoot and doing a reset, I'm still missing all the uninstalled software. Also McAffee, which can't be uninstalled at all, locks me out every time I try to boot back up.

On top of that, are there any ROMs out there for the L22c? I would love to try 5.1 if it's out there somewhere.

Well I think unless you have a backup, "core" apps you uninstalled won't be present with a reset. I made that mistake myself and it was permanently messed up, cuz there is no system file for Tracfone's lg power

Hi all, I posted a thread in the main board, by I figured I'd ask here too. I have the LG Sunset LTE L33L on Straight Talk and I was wondering if the ROMs and recovery for the Leon would work on it. From what I can tell, it's the same phone as the LG Power, just on AT&T's towers. I have root if that matters. And, I took a screencap of my software information. Thanks for any info.View attachment 91279 View attachment 91279

I have same phn and service. Did you find any info on rooting? Ive been coming up with zilch. Needing to root to make hotspot when i need it.

Hey fellas i rooted my phone successfully but its in chinese? Anyway to change this manually? Or do i redownload a diff one?

 

[jjayfresh]

#litrosnub any suggestions?

Run super-sume

 

[The-Truth]

I advise running supersume after and or from within recovery. I've softbricked trying to run supersume fresh after Kingrooting and not using the recovery route which supersume will ask if you want to run supersume over Kingroot flat out or from custom recovery.

Also if anyone wants to replace KingUser with SuperSU:

Or use SuperSUME

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=darkslide.com.supersume

These are no longer an option as SuperSUME appears to have been removed from the Play Store and the Kingroot devs implemented a blocking feature in their software to block SuperSU and SuperSUME from removing Kingroot.

 

[The-Truth]

Ya that's what I've gathered myself. They don't want there non SU apk kicked out the way.

This is kinda simple though. Get an older version (like 4.0) so it does get removed. Unless they added that into their own SU binary.

 

[The-Truth]

Right, as old version's arent patched!

 

[The-Truth]

I got lucky on my old concord 2 and pushed kingo not KINGROOT but KINGO ROOT out of the way with the SuperSU apk by Chainfire alone. Through CWM of course, but she worked!

 

[Dwade305]

It says that there is no root strategy after i install. What exactly does this mean?

 

[SEVIER_347]

...So I've rooted my straight talk LG l22c Power with kingroot but can't find recovery or which version of busybox will install, and does anyone know any roms that will work?

 

[WATYF]

I was able to use the instructions from the OP to root my LG Risio (same as LG Leon), but I was curious if I can now just go ahead and uninstall the main Kingroot app. Do I have to leave it on the phone indefinitely in order to maintain the root?

 

[theQ]

this thread is a bit confusing. I am trying to root my LG Leon LTE (t-mobile).
This route didn't work. as a matter of fact my McAffee reported that the downloaded APK is infected with Artemis.

Android version 5.1.1
Build LMY47V
Software version H34510f

Is there a way I can root the device ?

Which part are you having problems with

 

[theQ]

Which part are you having problems with

I could install king root. But cannot root my device. Asked me to submit a request. It reported that the queue is at 19000+ waiting for the same. What do I need to do from here?

Yes, unless you flash a ROM with KR stuff switched out for SuperSu..

 

[Tim1997]

Just downloaded this root for my lg power. But its in xhinese. Can someone help me change or replace it

 

[Kenten1993]

So is the LG LEON okay to root? And is there a TWRP recovery for it? And if you guys know if an android tuner will work on this device once rooted. That would be great. Please let me know, I am interested in this phone.

 

[The-Truth]

Is the Leon you may get running 5.0.2 firmware? If so you can just Kingroot it then use Flashify or rasher or something to flash the proper blue 2.8.7.0 TWRP for that device. One Custom ROM thus far CM 12.1 hope that sums er up for you. Yet in my honest opinion the phone itself has pretty poor battery life to be honest. But the price is right I guess. And well hey you get what you pay for.
