This tutorial work with LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769.
I present you all with a new root method provided by the the immaculate jcase. Rooting with this is fairly simple and the only requirement is that you have Jellybean for your device. This has proven to work with a variety of phones on Jellybean, with ICS turning up no rooted results. Thus, you must (!!) have Jellybean on your device.
Step 1: First, we must make sure you have spritebud. No it isn't a soda/beer mix! You can check for this either via ADB or through the app Terminal Emulator. Unhide the code for your selected method.
ADB: adb shell ls -l /system/xbin/spritebud
Terminal Emulator: ls -l /system/xbin/spritebud
If you get any error message along the lines of "no such file or directory", then your phone is unable to root. Otherwise, you should be presented with information about spritebud, and that is able to root.
Step 2: Now that you know whether or not you are able to root, let us carry on for those who can.
I have written a thin guide on achieving root based on the steps that jcase has provided. They are as follows:
Download LGPwn.apk
Install LGPwn.apk on your device
Launch LGPwn
READ popup message
Press "root me" to carry on the next part
When Backup has launched, choose Restore
Choose Internal storage
Choose LGPwn
Hit OK at the popup about Cross Model Restore
Make sure the Applications checkbox is checked, then select Continue
Let the app finish the restoring process.
Step 3: Once your device has finished the restore process, you may reboot your phone from the current screen, or you may immediately head to the Play Store. Whichever choice you make, your next step is to download SuperSu from the Play Store and install it. When prompted, select normal install, and you should be good to go with regards to root.
Congratulations! New root get!
