How to Root LG Optimus G Pro E985

You can expect many awesome surprises from LG Optimus G Pro E985 if you decide to root it. One of the rooting tools at your disposal is the one we’re recommending in this post. If this procedure interests you, allow us to show you how it’s done!

To be able to have a rooted LG Optimus G Pro E985, we suggest using SRSRoot. This dedicated app is recommended by all of its goodies; a list of which is given in this post later on. First, you have to know that this software is free and you can use it if you ever want to revoke your handset’s root access. The app is powered by an SRS Server. Also, it works with every Android version that’s been launched till now. Your handset’s sporting an Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. This tool’s compatibility doesn’t stop here; the app is also suitable for many Build IDs. Including the one we chose for this procedure: JZO54K.LG-Optimus-G-Pro-E985

The benefits of this procedure

If you haven’t been impressed with your device’s CPU speed, the rooting will certainly improve the quad-core 1.7 GHz Krait 300 processor. The handset you’re rooting with this guide is available as LG Optimus G Pro F240, LG Optimus G Pro L-04E, LG Optimus G Pro E980 and LG Optimus G Pro E986 for Europe. It came out last year for the first time.

Apart from your phone, many other models are compatible with this app; no matter the manufacturer which released them.

Now for the list of novelties. Your LG Optimus G Pro E985 will deal with custom ROMs and battery tweaks. Then you will notice superuser and admin permission along with root-only apps. Root access also means tweaks for customization purposes. The battery life of your phone will receive improvement, too; there are a lot of tweaks for that. No bloatware in sight, though. Another pro of getting the SRSRoot: your handset is protected against security problems.

After the smartphone gains root access, one major thing will happen. It involves the warranty: the latter shall quickly be revoked. The handset will be affected in one way or another if an upgrade’s performed. Root access, for one, will be revoked. Second: the handset will no longer contain a system partition. Luckily it will preserve its data; the internal and external SD cards will encounter no damage, either.
