I mulled over the suggested threads from 2012 (because I live under a rock), and am desperately trying to root this phone.
So, this is the about in the phone section.
Optimus Zone vs410pp
Model #: LG-VS410P
And Version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: MSM7625-0-AA
Build #: GRK39F
Software Version: VS410PP2
I feel like I've tried everything for this phone to Root. Currently going to try SuperOneClick again, but if anyone knows of a sure fire way to do this, please explain in the most simple words you can. I don't care if you drag it out to 39 steps... Pretend you are teaching a potato to use a phone... I know... I need help, but that will come later.. Right now... I need a rooted phone....
Thanks for helping this poor vegetation understand human stuff....
.:Edit:.
So, I just so wonderfully found out that I can't post links as of yet, and was told so via the forum eating all of my extra content I just added. Isn't that nice? You guys should change that to a default "Return to edit" instead of just removing the 2k words I just wrote to help communicate my issue. Thanks XDA-Forum CSS coder. You're a real pal.
Now, moving on to the issue at hand. I'm following a guide, Thread A, that led me to another step by step instructional thread. This is the thread we will call "Thread B".
This is a quote from Thread B.
5. If you have to manually update the driver, you may have to go about it the long way. I had to click "Browse my computer..." then "Let me pick from a list..." then "Have disk..." before browsing all the way to the Universal ADB folder, plus I had to click "OK" through several warnings.

So, my issue is that I've only had to update drivers manual three times in my life, and they were point and click issues. There was zero decision making. Now, with ADB, which I'm assuming I need as SOC is working, but not rooting the phone correctly. How do I update drivers for this? When I plug in the phone I have a few options in the device manager, and I'm unawares of which I should choose being a potato, and all. Past that, I've around 9 different doo-hickies (yes.. doo-hickies... They are not the standard .dll that I normally run into, and all have very different unknown extensions) to choose from. Do I install them all individually, or is there something I can do to expedite this process, like naving through my sys files, and d&d all these doo-hickies at once so my computer knows LGE Optimus Zone phonespeak?
Thanks to anyone whom may shed light on my plight.
.:Edit:.
To add additional content to my trails, I am currently repeating poot to see what happens here as a user suggested to repeat it after removing the battery roughly ten times to see if poot will slip past the demon. Thus far, I have generated tree-fiddy demons. I'm unsure as to where the demons are materializing, but Poot continuously suggests they are doing such. Potatoes aren't particularly afraid of demons, but this is very inconvenient for them to get in the way of my electronics.
If you've information on any method of adding the access of the phones origins I would be most generous in my thanks.
Hi,
You need to ask this in the Android Q and A section since Optimus Zone doesn't have a dedicated forum to itself:

Good Luck

Android Home Phone, Binatone iDECT iHOME3
Hello everyone,
I need pointed to the right forum.
I recently purchased the above phone, landphone died, this came second hand from eBay. It works perfectly, but I mainly wanted it because its Android, and I can use my Google contacts and not have to input them one by one. And because its Android!
The specs are on a photo include below. It is rooted with SU app installed and working.
I downloaded zipped Gapps for 2.3.5, extracted to folder, then put the folder on the ExtSD, then to IntSD.
My problem is this, it shipped with the SlideMe market, I'm trying, and failing to get Google Play sideloaded on it. There is no option to add a Google account of course, if I try to direct install, it gives the message "you need to add a google account", if I click yes, the app fc's. If I push the app to system/app, the same occurs.
I'm not the most technical Android guy, but I've been flashing etc, for a few years now, on various makes and models, but this has me stumped. I've had to flash Gapps before for ROM's, I've sideloaded apps too, but am I missing something here. What gives the extra option to add a Google account? I've done this before on a few tablets etc, never had a problem.
Where is it best to post/get some help? (and hopefully not be laughed at to hard!)
Someone posted a thread over this phone (years ago), 3 answers, nothing helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Skivit
Hi there,

Hi there. I have tried for the love of me to find something on the internet that would pertain to this specific device and have found nothing but specs on a website and dumb questions about the phone that don't pertain to what I am looking for. The phone in question is ZTE N817 from Assurance Wireless on the Virgin Mobile network. I am looking for a custom ROM for it because I no longer have service on the phone but because of that it won't boot past the "Hello. Welcome to Assurance Wireless" screen and it makes the device completely unusable therefore my wanting to install a custom ROM in order to get functionality out of the device as a smart device with WiFi and all just no phone service. And if there is anything anyone can provide involving a firmware download and an installation procedure such as a specific program to use to install the firmware using Windows that would be great.
Here is a link to the info on the device.

I got this free tablet along with a course of Spanish.
It's a 9" android device. According the documentation that came with it, it has an Alwinner A33 Quadcore, 512MB ram, 4GB storage & is operated with Android 4.4.
It has no brand, but it comes from a Belgian company named GP-electronic.
As soon as I got it, I started installing my most favourite apps & one of those (my mobile banking app) gave me this warning I never had before:
Code:
Rooted Device Detected. We advice you to use a non-rooted device.
And now I wanted to know how I can unroot it & reclaim it for my own, because I notice some other things have been modified / disabled by the supplier....
How do I gather the necessary info, where to look & stuff like that is something new for me.
Cheers
Zotteken
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
There is no forum for your device. Try posting your question in the forum linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
The experts there may be able to help. Good luck.
PROBLEM:
1. I need to find a forum where I can learn about rooting in a general way, not just a phone specific way. There are too many overlapping problems with my phone and issues that I am too undereducated to pinpoint. I thought learning how to root and flash stock-roms might be the best place to start. Book references or YouTube channels would also be wonderful.
2. I would also like to be pointed in the direction of what the problem might actually be if I am out in left field, and where to find that on this site as well.
HERE'S SOME OF WHAT I WANT TO LEARN IN THE FORUMS:
What is the difference between Rooting and Unlocking the Bootloader? Are they the same thing?
Will re-locking the bootloader resolve the certification issue like I read?
How do I lock the bootloader again?
Can you fix UI crashes by re-flashing a phone's stock ROM?
How is a Factory reset different from a fresh stock-rom flash?
If factory reset doesn't stop the UI Crashes, will re-flashing the stock rom have a different effect?
Etc.
DETAILS:
I purchased a Razer 2 Phone and unlocked the bootloader but it was a long time ago and I don't remember what I did. I did some research and it looks like when I did that my Google Play Store lost its certification. I think that it is causing app bugs and failures but I am not sure because the phone's UI sytem, bluetooth and Wi-fi have been crashing before I tampered with anything when I first bought the phone online. Bluetooth and Wi-fi don't stay on and toggle themselves off. There is also no Bluetooth or Wi-Fi address in the system info. It makes me think that my Door Dash app bugs might be more than one thing.
I work for Door Dash and it's my main income so I need my app to work and I think that the bad certification is causing problems with my Door Dash App. But the Razer also needs a software repair.

Welcome to XDA,
I would recommend this>
1. Type your desired device for rooting
2. Hit search
3. Once located your device, head to Upgrading and Modifying sub section
4. Be prepared to read a loooot!
5. Practice in your device (try not to brick it)
6. Done!
For this questions there is no general rule you can apply, it will always depend on the device you try to root
What is the difference between Rooting and Unlocking the Bootloader? Are they the same thing?
