[Completed] Lacking options to root an LG-P990h (LG Optimus 2X) - XDA Assist

I've spent many hours looking for a solution on how to unlock bootloader and root my LG Optimus 2X, including this forum. This model is not listed in the How to Root link (http://www.xda-developers.com/root/) and I remember finding only two options - both included installing an .exe for Windows only, one of which widely reported later to have a virus.
It's an old model, I know.
I don't have a Windows install and would like to know if there's a more trustworthy way to root this phone, especially if something I could run on Linux.
Thanks!

I have been having some issues with my lg optimus 3D. I recently bricked it and followed these steps
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473781
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236
only the second thread has links that i cannot use to access rom files.
also none of the rom files there are ment for the lg p925g so i'm not so sure they will even work, I have a rogers based phone and i was thinking of trying to repair this thing or just bring it in for them to reset.
I'm new to these forums and only recently rooted my phone. when i used rom manager the app actualy bricked my phone really badly and i have very many regrets.
please help.

[Completed] [Q] LG G3(LS990) Root problem.

Okay. So I've decided that I wanted to root my SPRINT LG G3. The only legit method I've found was STUMP, which claims that my Phone is patched. Since I've never encountered this problem before, I have no knowledge of how I can upatch it. I've tried looking for other root methods but found nothing compatible with the LS990 LG G3. Do you guys know any other root methods, or a way to unpatch(Provided with links please.)?
Hi,
You can review this thread, especially the first post. Lots of info. It seems that's your only root method. As far as undoing stump, You'd need to ask in the Stump thread about that.

Good luck!

Several questions: Safely root LG G Stylo Cricket (h634) - Software version h63410g

Hey guys,
Hopefully this thread continues to grow for the LG G stylo Cricket version (h634). I'd like some help and would really appreciate it. I currently have the latest updated LG G Stylo Cricket version and would like to know a few things:
•*What is the safest and successful root procedure? I've heard too many bricking issues, so I am afraid to just jump into it. My software version is the latest, which is the H63410g version
•*Is there any actual factory restore available? I came across this thread and not sure how accurate or valid it is: http://www.mylgphones.com/cricket-l...are-how-to-unbrick-restore-back-to-stock.html
The main developer on a original site said to please not share freely, but if it works, I really do feel everyone with a bricked device should donate for his hard work and help. Its a paperweight + having to buy another $150+ device vs $10 + supporting passionate developers.
• Why do people insist on using super su instead of just keeping kingroot? Isn't kingroot enough for root?
•*What is the best way to modify the lg g stylo to force the system to automatically use the external sd storage for all media including apps, cache, etc.
Really appreciate an insight here. This low memory storage on the lg g stylo cricket version (8gb) is ridiculous and impossible to work with without worrying about low storage issues/errors
Please advise, thanks guys.
I just rooted my h63410g with kingroot. It says that it's not recomended but hit the proceed anyway and it'll work.
I only did 30mins of research and realized DO NOT USE SUPER SU. IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE. just use kingroot for su.
I havnt done any bloatware removal yet but everyone says that the paid version of link2sd is the way to go.
The link you shared with the stock firmware is password protected and none of the comments can confirm it works. Hopefully it does tho!

Thinking of rooting my LG Stylo 6

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.

I can't root my LG G3 S (D722)

Hello. I came to the forum for help with my LG D722. (LG G3 S)
As the time goes on with it, I wanted to install a custom ROM to my LG G3 S (D722) (AKA LineageOS), I heard that rooting the phone is the 1st step. I tried using the LG OneClick method but didn't work, I enabled USB debugging in developer options and installed drivers to my PC. If there's any other way to install LineageOS to my device or rooting it, please reply to the thread. It means a lot.
To install a Custom ROM it's NOT required that phone's Android OS got roted before.
You install a Custom ROM by means of a suitable Custom Recovery, not via ADB.
