HOW TO ROOT LG G4 BEAT

  1. Download the rooting exploit you need for your G4 Beat from this XDA Developers thread here.
    – download the file directly to your computer.
  2. Right-click over the file and choose the “extract here” option from the menu.
  3. Connect the G4 Beat into the computer using the USB cable you would normally use to charge the battery.
  4. From within the folder you extracted, look for the executable file ending in .bat and double-click the mouse over the same.
  5. Do not touch any buttons; just wait for that program to finish rooting your G4 Beat.
  6. You will see when it is done on the display. Remove the USB cable and open the Google Play Store.

Browse for the basic root checker app and install the same on your device. Open the basic root checker app from the Beat’s app drawer once it has finished downloading and agree to update the SU binary if you are promoted to do that on the display.
