How to Root the LG Optimus G Pro (F240)


I.  Before You Begin

1.  This procedure works only on the F240 version of the LG Optimus G Pro before you install the value pack update that is available now.  You will not be able to upgrade to the value pack after rooting!
2.  There is currently no unrooting solution available; so make sure that you really need root access before you proceed.
3.  Back up anything you feel is important and charge your device to 75% or more before you begin.
4.  Make sure that you have the necessary LG drivers installed before you start.

II.  Necessary Downloads
