Root Jelly Bean (Spectrum 2)

[mordant80]

And found yet another updated 2nd-init recovery that works... download lte2jbrecovery.apk from here: Index of ./Root-Recovery-TV/LG/F180L/ This one is version 2.0, the last one was version 1.4. Still CWM 6.0.2.8

PS - I updated the OP with a link to the root files that work with the update.

Can't get my Spectrum 2 with Jelly Bean 4.1.2 to Root. Root_LTE2 goes so far and just stops (see below).

The old version of Root_LTE2 seams to work until you get to the end and it says to hit any key for the phone to reboot. When I hit a key the program closes and the phone does nothing (see below).

Motochopper does the same as the new Root_LTE2 (see below).

Make sure on your phone you have the connection set to ethernet or modem and usb debugging needs to be on as well

Double, Triple, Quadruple, lost track of, how many times, I have checked those settings. Even tried both ethernet and modem. Tried reloading the drivers both from the download and by letting them load from the phone multiple times each.

"id try a different cable and/or pc" - Done and done already. Thanks for the ideas though.

Tried downloading the Drivers from LG's website instead of the link in the Wiki post (what I did originally) and voila, IT WORKED! Motochopper went further in the process but still locked up. Root_LTE worked. This time when the program said reboot phone and it closed, the phone actually restarted. Tried using Titanium Backup to verify root and it worked (asking for root rights).

Thanks for the update Cat88Extreme, sorry for the outdated usb driver downloads on my post... I have updated the post at RootzWiki "USB Drivers & Support Tool For The LG Spectrum 2" for all the Spectrum 2 owners.
