LG Revolution One Click Root

While rooting Android phones is becoming an increasingly simpler process by the day, with One-click root tools being made available by developers, it often used to be a cumbersome process to revert back to an unrooted state, and involved flashing back to a stock ROM, not to mention finding the right stock ROM to flash. Installing Clockworkmod Recovery involved using a separate tool called Revo Toolkit, or tinkering with ADB to push the custom recovery image to the device.

Thanks to XDA member mtmichaelson, we now have an All-in-one package which not only provides a One-click Root and Unroot solution for LG Revolution users, but also installs Clockworkmod recovery while rooting.

You can download it here.

This zip contains the proper drivers for the LG Revolution, and root.bat and unroot .bat files.The root.bat has been modified to fix ANY of the problems people are having with root, and will make it so that CWM will stick through reboot. It installs the newest versions of the su binary and Superuser.apk. It will also install ClockWorkMod Recovery (no need to run RevoToolkit anymore). And on the other hand, the unroot.bat file will uninstall and delete the su binary and remove Superuser.apk. It will also remove CWM and install the stock ZV7 recovery.img.

How Do I Root and Install CWM?

  1. Download zip and extract
  2. Install drivers if not already installed
  3. Click root.bat and watch the magic!!!

How Do I Remove CWM and Unroot?

  1. Download zip and extract
  2. Install drivers if not already installed
  3. Click unroot.bat and watch the magic!!!

    It worked… but I seem to have lost 4G.  …then I un-rooted and I still don’t have 4G.  Any thoughts?

      Actually, it looks like there may be an outage today so I don’t know if I really lost 4G or if Verizon itself lost 4G in the Chicago area.
