I didn't know that our g2x needed a rooting solution? It is a shame we have been running without root this whole time.

ok so you gotta provide more information about this rooting solution you have going on. You cant just post in the dev section and expect everyone to be on your level and understand what your doing here... more info would be helpful to be clear and not have to answer the same question a billion times.
edit:
Ok I see this is for rooting your g2x using the zergrush process.. a little explanation goes a long way.. Although this should probably be in the general section since its not dev'in... just my opinion.

your missing the point.. you cant just post stuff in the dev section and have no info on it.. not everyone is fluent in geek. its not about simple instructions its about providing the most info for the end user so noobs have no issues testing your time and effort..

Or where you got it from. Unless you learned this stuff, with in a couple days, if so then Congrats.

Maybe, mind you this is a stretch, this should go in the apps/themes section above general since it does do something for the phone.
That's a stretch though.

What is this? Root? Is that short for root beer? Wow its been almost a year now since I saw that topic brought up. Well thinking back the release of v21e. Hmmm what was that stuff we used to get back in the day? It is simple enough to do I guess. It is always good to have more than 1 solution. I really forgot about it being that all but 3 Rome have root.
And come on, why does it have to be a baby seal?
Does any one know if this will work on total 2.3.4? I would try but after I post I am flashing kwes's 2.3.4

My rom is already rooted. If youre on stock v21y you can easily root using super oneclick if you dont want to flash my rom, however my rom adds more then just root. Well its not my rom, I just kanged LG and made some improvisations.
On topic: OP you should really add more info to your posts if you intend on posting in the dev section. The majority of us know there are alot of easy ways to gain root, hell you can root a g2x with a scientific calculator if you put your mind to it...
Back off topic: i loled at the baby seal punching thanks.

You don't need to root if you want new ROM, kernel or CWM. But with root you can use for an example Xposed and many other cool things.
I have rooted my every device and I think that you can't do anything without it. But it's your choice.

Root & lollipop

Did you even attempt to look up the answer yourself? As a community we all like to help each other, but only those who also help themselves. A simple Google search will give you your answer quickly.

Yes but if you are S-Off, you can get it back. Suggestion above was on point. You night want to read a lot more before doing something you might regret. Only root method is Sunshine and it does not work with 5.0.x at this time.

I wouldn't do it. Just wait. The sunshine boys will figure it out soon

Didn't look too hard, did we... - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easiest-root-n915g-t2989909

Thats for Kit Kat
Better check before u do all your sarcastic bull****.......That's for KitKat ,not Lollipop........

1) The person you're telling to check and accusing of sarcastic bullsh*t is the OP of the linked thread.
2) Literally the very next two posts are about using the exact same method for Lollipop.
As someone once famously said, "Better check before . . . "

I did try it and it didn't work on my Lollipop...... I did check it and I did try it.... Plus I did search for my the root before I asked for help......
There is a big difference between just helping and being a ***** about it...... Anyways..... Thanks for helping..... But it did not work for me..... Guess it's my phone.....
Let it go man..... Was not looking to get into a fight or something.....
Everything got wiped when I tried it..... So was pissed off a little.....

Every Note 4/Edge I've worked with has accepted whatever root method was used in KitKat for Lollipop. From what I've read, there may be a few models around the world that this doesn't apply to, but I haven't worked with any of those.

Mine's from India? Know anything about that? Is there a way around this?
Sent from my SM-N915G using XDA Free mobile app

Any chance of downgrading? I thought I saw a post somewhere about upgrading to lollipop while keeping root.

Will that work?
I'll try it out then.....
Sent from my SM-N915G using XDA Free mobile app

To be honest, I have no idea. It's just one of those threads I glanced at while looking for something else. I'm not planning on upgrading to lollipop until xposed and more support in general, so it didn't interest me at the time.

Firstly, sorry if I sounded sarcastic, there a a million+ people out there who start by just going "how do I root....." without checking and having the information stickied EVERYWHERE - been here a while & am a shift worker....
Sorry to hear it wiped your info, didn't have that problem because I always have everything backed up and start on fresh install, less problems that way...
As to getting root in KK and keeping it through a flash to Lollipop, Chainfire has a new flashing app called Flashfire that seems to be VERY good (as per all his apps) but it is a beta test you need to apply and join, you also need to be rooted.
I've used it to backup most of my data with good results but haven't felt the need to flash anything yet. It is the successor of Mobile ODIN so you will need to flash Lollipop bootloader, modem and non-hlos.bin in PC ODIN but it should be able to flash Lollipop while injecting supersu (1.46 Supersu) and keeping root.
I'd start there - Chainfire's Flashfire.
Good luck

Yes, that's what I was trying to remember. Best bet right there if normal root methods aren't working. I personally like to run towelroot, even though there's an effectively 0% chance of it doing anything, just 'cause I can

Been looking all over for this and it is not easy to find. If you find it, post a link.
Or call Metro directly. I may be doing this soon.

I know somebody has to have a stock rooted G Stylo from metro. I recently ended my employment at metro so I know longer have easy access to phones. Can someone please upload the APK?

That simple solution would be to take the earlier guys advice. It doesn't take very long and you would have been done days ago.

The simple solution isn't always simple for somebody on fixed bandwidth with no actual internet or ISP, a 2GB file is not an option for me at this point. A small APK that's mere KB's is a much better alternative. Thanks though.

I actually ended up in a hotel as of recently, so I just used the wifi while enjoying the stay. Needless to say, while being "lazy" I managed to pull the APK from the stock rom and upload it to devhost.

One problem. It doesn't seem to play well. Installation fails and I'm not quite sure how to make it work. If anyone needs anything else from me, please let me know. I made a backup of the stock rom.
We will have to see though, being that im so damn lazy.

MetroPCS Official Device Unlock APP - SOLVED
This will work if you have a un-rooted MetroPCS device
1. Please back up all your data ( any pictures, video contacts etc).
2. NOTE This step will delete all your data and wipe your phone clean - Do a factory data reset : - go to setting and search for "reset"
when your phone restarts it will load up the MetroPCS stock ROM and you will have all of the MetroPCS app suite including the official MetroPCS device unlock app.

Hope this helps. Thank the guy who made a flashable zip of the ROM so it was much easier to extract.
