Rooting a device for first time is obviously exciting for some users. As we all know rooting is the only way by which you can access all your system files and customize your android device in the way you want to. But whenever new OS or the updates releases for devices, root access is lost and rooting a device again for the new firmware may take time and may be tough to do. Unfortunately same thing happens with LG Optimus 3D when V20x firmware updated for it. But luckily xda member darkoctavius has posted a method to root LG Optimus 3D for those users who has lost the root access after the firmware update.

The thing that is to be noted that the rooting method only works with the V20x version, and those running on V21 or later are out of luck this time. The developer has given us the .bat file which means the file is only compatible with the Windows PC this time.
