Hello Guys, I'm new here in rooting and all, I just received my Galaxy Tab yesterday so I'm still exploring, so let see you may not know at&t remove many things in there phones like installing unknown sources, that's technically my problem
I rooted my tab with SuperOneClick v1.6.5 and I root it, plus I also enable non-market apps but it doesnt work, I dont know if i root it wrong or it just didnt work. I click test and the software install SuperUser (This is the only thing I know that says my device is rooted)... I tried doing it twice but no avail.
FYI: I downloaded an .apk file and put it in my download folder, the tab recognize it but it doesnt want to install saying for some security reasons...
Yeah last one thing, does the Unlock Code, will unlock your phone? like unlocking my phone so that not only at&t sim card I can use??
Download "Root Checker" from market to see if you are rooted or not. And remember that you have to reboot after doing SuperOneClick to get root if you haven't done that already (at least I had to do that rooting a friends N1 a few days back).
Ok it says the root is good, and what do you mean reboot? My tab or laptop?
still my problem persist in the non-market apps, and the question what will happen if I "unlock" it?
NVM
I know now whats the problem, yeah i must reboot the tab to work, and it must be open and u also must open super user
EDIT: I forgot this but Why I cant unlock it, it says it failed...
I have an uncommon problem with rooting my new Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE. I live in Poland and bought the phone from Hongkong (btw I have some doubts about originality of this device). I've been trying everything to break the root access, but I failed every time. At the moment I loaded Android 4.0.4. with Odin (Phone wouldn't update automatically so I found the update on the Internet).
MY DEVICE Baseband: SHV-E120L.FG11.1351.LT
Firstly, I've been trying just to use SuperOneClick, which crushes just after clicking "ROOT". It can't even recognise my device connected via USB. Then I tried flashing custom ROMs/Mods with Odin, but I couldn't find software matching to my baseband (I don't know if it matters). I also failed to load any recovery (I still can't find how to flash .img files, while i don't have sdcard). Besides I have been doing lots of internet research and nothing matches my problem. After a week of spending about 2h daily trying to root the phone I went to service point, where they told me there is hardly anyone in Warsaw, who would be able to root my device, because it was bought from abroad and they don't have proper equipment to do that... (?)
As you see I'm in lost position, at least one of you had similar problem and know how to fix it. I'm very desperate to root my phone because I've got tons of korean U+ bloatware and I have this "no caller ID" problem with messages... Also this model has shorter battery life than I was expecting, so I hope to be able to load kernel, managing processor voltage.
Waiting for replies asap!
I'm new to XDA so please forgive me any slips. I didn't find a section for this exact device and I hope here is the right place to put this thread.

Hmm ... I am not sure if I have understood your question correctly.
You want to unroot your old phone?
If yes, then install SuperSU app (e.g. from Play store), open it and select the complete unroot option.
Or you have unrooted it already and want to root it again?
Then check this thread: [Root] Alcatel One Touch Fierce.
Or you just want to get a confirmation that you should get your sister's phone?
Yes, the LG L90 is a nice device ... see its forum on xda here: LG Optimus L90.
And you can root it easily ... like described here: [GUIDE][ROOT] Root your LG L40/L70/L90/G2 mini!.
it is unrooted. but.
When I go trade in will there be anything to tell its rooted? I might root that lg l90 but I don't want T-Mobile not taking back the phone if something goes wrong. I accidentally did a ota update and now I can't access my settings on the Alcatel. (I accidentally updated while still rooted.) I factory reset(recovery mode ftw) but I'm stuck in the sett up menu I can't get past language with the notification "unfortunately settings has stopped" but I can still use Google now cards and I got to play store and got some launcher(cm) and I use that but I can't access settings no matter what.

I'm still not sure if I understood what you want to do.
You void your warranty (depending on your country/carrier specific rules) already by rooting it.
Installing the OTA update might have unrooted the phone automatically.
I assume that manually flashing an official/stock firmware will be the best way to "prepare" it for a new user.
Please check the threads I linked in my previous post and ask there.
Thanks for your understanding. Thread closed.
Temp Root on LG G Stylo LS770 M 6.0 ( Boost / Sprint )
Attention if you decide to try this and end up with a BRICK / Expensive paperweight or your device decides to transform and destroys your home town that's on you. You have been warned . So just read all of this instructions (and read the O.P more then once)
I can confirm temp root on the LG G Stylo LS770 M 6.0 ( Boost / Sprint ) . Perm root will work with Android OS 2.1 - 5.1 & TEMP Root for Android OS 6.0 - ?
Downloads
Download King root ( Suggest from their website and not the Play store ) http://www.kingroot.net/
Download BusyBox from the Play store ( I suggest BusyBox from Jrummy ) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&hl=en
Download a Root Cheaker to verify root , I suggest https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en
Instructions
Download all the necessary APP's and Files .
Run KingRoot and just follow the in app instructions ( Normally you will get to around 23% and the app will say failed to root device but it hasn't yet for me )
Run whatever Root checker you decided to download and verify root ( if you didn't obtain root just run KingRoot again )
Run and install BusyBox
PROFIT
Now you are able to use Apps and Mods until you re-boot your phone.
-Permanent root is reversible, open the app and there will be a button to unroot
-Temporary root will be removed after a reboot
Temporary root
These are usually one-step apps that you install on your phone, and they give you root access until the next time your phone is restarted. They are a great way to get your feet wet,and you can do a lot with them -- both good and bad. The ease of use makes temporary rooting pretty popular, and it's a fine choice if your reasons for rooting are to use root-enabled apps from the Market.
That being said, some apps just aren't going to work unless you go all out and permanently root your phone. This depends a lot on which phone you're using, as manufacturers have an endless supply of dirty tricks to keep the hardware you paid for under lock and key. You'll either have to ask users with the same model as you're using, or use trial and error. The good news is that the popular root-enabled apps, and the ones you're most likely to want to use should work without a problem. Titanium Backup, Wireless Tether, Root Explorer and the like should do just fine.
The last thing to keep in mind, is that not all changes will be permanent. For example -- using a utility to "freeze" bloatware (applications from your carrier that you don't want or need) may not keep them frozen and hidden after a reboot. Also some of the newer HTC phones have an evil little bug a feature that reverts any changes you have made to the system, bringing it back to the way it was before you started hacking away at it. In those cases, the only fix is to perma-root your phone.
Permanent root
This is where things get a bit hairy. Some phones, like the Nexus One, don't need to be rooted -- they can be unlocked via the Android SDK and modified at will. Other phones, like the OG Droid, are really easy to root, and will only take a few minutes. Finally, some phones, like the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G force you to jump through flaming hoops and follow often cryptic instructions, laden with warnings about bricking your phone. That's a whole 'nother rant for a different venue, but it does need said so that you know what you may be getting yourself into. You'll need to do your homework, ask any questions you feel are unanswered or are unsure of, and weigh all this into your decision. Everyone who says "It's easy!" (including me) really means they found it easy -- that doesn't necessarily mean you will.
Now that I've sufficiently scared you, it's time to talk about why anyone in their right mind would go through this. Besides the advantages of keeping changes persistent between reboots, and those few Market apps that won't work with a temp-rooted phone, you have what many consider the best part of owning an Android phone -- custom ROMs.
To flash any custom recovery, kernel, or ROM, you're going to need to have permanent root access to your phone. Flashing new firmware is very low level stuff, and you need read and write access to everything. The good news is that usually the rooting is the most difficult part, and a custom recovery gives you access to a tool that can take a snapshot of your system, and save it as a restore point. That's a good thing, because once you start flashing, you're hooked -- and a single command restore is priceless.
Hopefully I've helped a little in your decision making, and remember -- there is always help in the XDA forums. Find the specific area for your model of Android phone, and look for the link at the top to the hacking section. Those guys live for this stuff, and will steer you in the right direction.
LG G Stylo LS770 MM Restore Files

Somehow after freezing few apps most Google one, rebooted and got code: 1003 system been modified and stuck in boot loop at initial boot, just reboots after LG logo. Tried to factory reset and LG tool, already running 6.0 latest OS. Had root, busy box easy install and rebooted it, stuck. Soft brick?
I'm sorry to hear that , I've personally never had a problem uninstalling apps on the LG G Stylo but i only really uninstall the bloat from my carrier . There is a Safe To Debloat Guide for our phone but I haven't personally tried it out yet .
Sadly we don't have the KDZ file for our phone so you cant just simply re-flash your phone . But hopefully that doesn't mean we cant get your phone back up and running . There are a few different things we can try .
Can you give me all the information about your phone as you can like carrier, model number , software version and so on .

Thank you for the information.
Lets start by seeing if just flashing the latest Update zip for M 6.0 will get your phone back up and running. It should take you back to stock and update the system file . it's a untouched update zip .
You can find all the necessary files, downloads and instructions here.

Re-sizing it into 8GB FAT32 then will try exFAT and then NTFS still in 8GB

Got into ADB bootloader and after # I get
Hello, I am LAF, Nice to meet you. #
---------
I can list folder contents in device #ls
as soon as I try to open any folder I get Hello, I am LAF, Nice to meet you. #
You got LAF ..... Ive only ran into her a couple times and i still dont understand if she's mocking us .
But don't partition anything quit yet , we might be able to just flash the system img with a command line . Do you have adb and everything set up ?
I'll be able to help more when i get home from work .
Here's a helpful video from YouTube that might help https://youtu.be/Za9H7TgeZ50
, i will be leaving all the LG files in my cloud just in case you need the original zip
I just went out and got me another one. I tried ADB and it was all LAF constantly.
Will wait till stable root available and possibly unlocked bootloader, 6.0 got it locked pretty complicated.
Ya they did a number on locking this device . How were you able to get a replacement so fast ?
I'm just hoping we can get fastboot working so we don't have these types of problems.

Any way to root boost mobile only to edit hosts file and then un-root to prevent LAF lock-down?
I'll actually test if editing the build prop with temp root will allow the change to stick after a reboot .
Ive been spending all my free time trying to get fastboot running to tinker with temp root to much .
STAY AWAY FROM KING ROOT! I used King Root last night to obtain root on Marshmallow for my LGMS631 running the official T-Mobile update. Root was successful however the system became very unstable to the point which I decided to unroot and uninstall King Root completely. After restarting my phone I was prompted with Secure Boot Error and MODIFIED. If I didn't have access to a stock KDZ my phone would have been a complete paperweight with no other choice but to send it in to LG for repair. My suggestion to all LG G Stylo users that are not with T-Mobile or MetroPCS will be that you avoid King Root at all costs. Without a KDZ and the LG Flash Tool you will nit be able to recover from a soft brick.
No KDZ available for Boost/Sprint
Anyone got a way to edit hosts file?
Do not root 6.0 boost until bootloader has been unlocked.
it will need to be rooted
it will need to be rooted
as stock marshmallow 6.0 uses too much memory upto 886 mb
only 65 mb free
As of right now we haven't been able to pull the system.img
Sent from my LG-ls990 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Doesnt look like any root for us virgin, boost or sprint stylo owners, shame. Glad its just my sons phone.

Yes. I did replace the hosts file with using kingroot. I rebooted and was fine. I later bricked it doing something else and sent it to LG for free repair. I haven't rooted since. Isn't there the tot files posted to recover from a brick on Boost?
Now I'm using NetGuard (here on XDA) that uses a VPN instead of root to implement a hosts list. I also have my DPI set to 270 but that can be done via ADB without root. :]
Hi, all! I'm relatively new to this forum, new to rooting phones and have little to no experience in this. I'm sorry for posting this in the LG Stylo 3 forums; I couldn't find a forum unique to the LG Stylo 6 so I thought this might be a good place to start.
So!
I'm using an LG Stylo 6. Model # LM-Q730MM. MetroPCS is my carrier.
I'm not a fan of Google, its invasive approach toward my phone, nor its apps taking up space on my phone. Also, I'm curious about the pros and cons of rooting. I have a few questions and any info would be excellent!
1. What can a rooted phone do exactly?
2. If I root my LG Stylo 6, can that process be reversed?
3. Will rooting my phone get me into trouble with MetroPCS? Will I still be able to make phone calls? Will I still have access to all of the applications I already have installed on my phone?
4. What else should I know before rooting my phone?
I posted a possible root method in another thread.. I'll give the link since I don't want to retype.. feel free to try and share results.. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...a-latest-ota-update-payload-bin-dump.4140013/
Always go with official method in order to root any android device. No matter device is LG, vivo, and Samsung. I found a lots of website who guiding the steps to root LG Stylo 6 in 10-15 minutes and having positive feedback.
But before implementing the rooting steps make sure you check this list -
Device bootloader should be unlocked
Charge your device 60-70% ( It's normal recommended to avoid any risk )
If you're following PC method then make sure you have a data cable to connect your LG device else if you're following without PC then not need to do.
These are some important which you should keep in mind.
Here a safe box guide website simple method to root Lg Stylo 6 without PC - https://safeboxguide.com/root-lg-stylo-6/ After reading this article it would be clear how you can root LG Stylo 6 without PC with Magisk + KingoRoot method.
Hope you love it.
* The device bootloader cannot be unlocked because LG has prevented access to the bootloader.
* The safeboxguide article is a replicate of any other article you read and they have done zero research whatsoever and are only attempting to obtain views for ad revenue and clicks on their website.
* Root is currently unachieved on the device and LG devices are notorious for being unnecessarily difficult to unlock, let alone gain even a temporary root shell inside of.
* We are working on this actively and have been since about early January.

yeah, screw all that. I saw that thread and lost interest.
Lol, it's not that hard, I just had to write it up like that for newbies that don't have any experience with python, anyone that has any experience with Linux or python can do it in just a few min. Complete newbies have followed my tutorial and achieved root, very few have done it but that just makes it that much more worth it.
