I'm a bit slow to realize this, but after updating to T mobile's latest 20b firmware (lollipop 5.0x), it lost root. I then tried to root it, using the three methods mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2732311.
Towelroot clearly doesn't work anymore. The zip file in the above thread couldn't be flashed since there's no recovery operation possible (just showing an android with ! in a triangle sign). I also tried the purpledrake, but the script doesn't run when the phone is connected with all drives installed and adb devices showing the phone. I then tried to get fastboot mode back (to install twrp/cwm recovery to flash the zip file) by following http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l...-d415-t2827825 which I have done successfully before, but then couldn't do it because it requires root (doh!).
So it seems that I just lost my ability to root, unless I downgrade to a stock kitkat (10e?) from tmobile, and then towelroot/etc. assume those work.
Anyone with experience on the stock 20b firmware? Can you root it and how? Thanks.
