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
Due to the overwhelming private messages about kingroot and other rooting apps softbricking phones i have posted a fix for the Boost Mobile LG G Stylo LS770 on MM (6.0) . Here are all the files needed to restore a bricked LS770 on MM .

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 .

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. :]

Root Verizon G Pad 7 VK410 latest Lollipop

Tough case resolved
I hate to start a new thread but there is so little information out there about this variant of the G Pad. This is my second one (I had one with AT&T) and I absolutely love it. I just switched to Verizon and got the new one for free, but have had a devil of a time getting it rooted. When I first set it up, there was an update available which I applied. Probably my first mistake. I tried every root method out there. Here is how I got it done.
1. I secured the Verizon 06/12/2015 release rom from here http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/#imei . This site has all of the LG roms. You can look it up by country and provider, or simply type in your imei. I installed the Rom using the LG flashtool, available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190. I had hoped it was not patched; it was, so I am not sure if it was necessary.
2. I used Kingroot, available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461. As best I can tell, it is safe. If anyone knows of any issues, please advise. It has it's own software to control root permissions, but it says you can install SuperSU, I did, but it does not update the binary using the normal mode. I have not tried as yet to update via recovery.
3. I had some issues with the Kingroot su, particularly with Foldermount. I followed the Wolfdroid guide here http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html to remove the Kingroot su and install Chainfire's. Script will show some "failures." Be patient and let it run. It will open SU when complete, and SU will unistall the Kingroot software.
Good Luck!

I tried looking up my verizon lg g pad 7.0 and it didn't find anything

ZMax 2 Root Development (Developers Needed)

We need to get developers onto the ZMax 2 root because we all know how long the original ZMax root took. We have already figured out that all one click roots do not work with this phone, so like how the original team did, I believe we need to find a way to temp root put a custom recovery on and flash SU. Now I'm not a developer but we need to start somewhere.
Task List:
Temp Root
Recovery (For Root)

Rom (Long Term Goal)
So if you are a developer, please help the ZMax 2 is a great phone.:fingers-crossed:

It's a kick a$$ little phone. It has and the biggest bang for the buck all day long: It has a 720 X 1080 HD5.5" screen, 2GB of RAM, 3000 mah "removable" battery, SD 410 (as opposed 200, 210 or 400 in that price range) and expandable micro SD for $79? Works as good on T-Mobile if you unlock it as any other T-Mobile phone would, and with LTE band 12. And the unlock is free too, just cant beat it.
Aside from not having a Super AMOLED quad HD screen and the camera not being the highest quality, it's as good as my Note 4 (for my usage). I would think there'd be tons of these floating around for some dev's to try and get root, but maybe it's just that tough a nut to crack...

Price is perfect to test now!

There is a root method for LG devices that involves getting the phone into download mode and then using a script to root it from there. Based on my admittedly limited experience with this phone, I think a similar approach should work.
That process is detailed on this thread, and I was able to duplicate it on my ZMax 2 almost all the way.
Step one involved pushing some files via ADB - Check!
Step two was to get into download mode. - Check! (vol + & vol - and then insert USB cable)
Step three was to figure out the port being used. Mine was COM 3 - Check!
Step four was to use the "Send_Command.exe" file to initiate the process. Check!
I got as far as getting the "#" prompt but then... Well, the script is written for LG devices with their specific partitions and directory structures. My guess/hope is that modifying this process slightly by changing the *.sh file would be enough, but I'll leave that to greater minds than mine.

Ok..for the record..an older version of kingo root DOES successfully give you root...the problem is having root does NOT give you write access to /system. The emmc is still write protected. The method used to unlock many other ZTE models ( http://androidforums.com/threads/zte-write-protection-for-zmax-and-other-zte-phones.1040331/ ) does NOT work on the Z958 which is the "Zmax2" for AT&T (LOL) <-- I'm not laughing..that's the model. The z955a which is the "Zmax2 unlocked version" DOES work with the method found. Lucky us I guess..then again you can't get the unlocked zmax2 for $60 at bestbuy which seems to happen fairly regularly for the z958. It's also currently fairly easy to get the z958 unlocked.
ZTE's response when contacted regarding the locked bootloader is:
Dear Valued ZTE Customer
Thanks for contacting ZTE.
We are sorry to inform you that we do not support unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device.
We apologize for the inconvenience
Should there be further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best Regards!
-----
Yeah thanks bunches ZTE. That email convinced me not to look at the Pro or the Axon 7 until they HAVE a working root/twrp. The reason I want the bootloader unlocked is I want to be able to install twrp and backup my phone to prevent bricking issues.
We really need a zmax2 forum so this information can be shared better.
Once you have it rooted with kingo root it will stay rooted till you reboot...take the opportunity to give yourself a semi permanent adb root shell [ http://androidforums.com/threads/semi-permanant-root-shell.1039076/ ] (not the same as gaining root but will allow you to do things like "wm density #" to see what the current dpi density is (both real dpi and "override" dpi)....I've found "wm density 260" works quite well. The default is 320.

I've also fought with ZTE on phone and through I'm session and they kept telling me same thing they do not assist in unlocking bootloader or root because it voids warranty once they told me that and the axon 7 was said to have unlockable bootloader I took the chance to use that as my advantage on the warranty issue and told me that it would not be bout warranty void anymore and they kept trying to beat round the bush and just kept saying we can not assist you on unlocking bootloader or gaining root do to warranty void

ive temp rooted with kingo pc and gained semi permanent adb root shell but still no full root but my question is has anyone experienced KINGroot causing a block on boot with triangle and ! symbol in the triangle to go to a black screen with led ring blinking white and having to factory reset the whole phone

One of the problems is that there are 2 zte zmax 2 variants
Z955a root
Didn't find anythong for the ATT Z958 variant tho

Zmax 2 unlocked rooting questions
Hello everybody, I have the unlocked variant of the zmax 2 , how easy is it to root this phone, is it possible? I only need temporary root anyway for a one time use, if full root is possible then touché, and also do I need a computer to do this, mines in need of a new SSD to run the OS so until I get that I have no computer access

Not sure where to put this
So, let me say that I have fully rooted the phone. I was able to figure out the partitions to the phone and extract all of them, including the boot.img and recovery.img. The bootloader is still locked as far as I know. Even though ZTE won't release the unlock code for the phone, is it possible to unlock it anyways? If so, then how. I really would like to participate in this endeavor for the community. Any feedback or help would be appreciated. I have spent almost two weeks on this phone, not bad for the money, but would love to design a custom rom for it. Thanks.

Enable USB debugging
Get adb (most know how)
Type in this command through adb:
adb reboot disemmcwp
Now use the PC version of Kingo Root
After that there are methods out there for replacing kinguser with supersu (if you choose to do this be careful it may brick your phone) otherwise keep kinguser.

Here is the current update: Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow
Why not use the official released today. Won t let me post the link but it is on ATT today.

I have bought the AT&T version and unlocked it now and using with a different sim, could anyone let me know how to get the Marshmallow update.
I used Debloater to remove the bloatware.

I also have the z958 (ATT Go Phone ZMax 2) that I've unlocked and using with T-Mobile.
While Root and customer ROM are unlikely, I hope we can update to recently released Marshmallow update from ATT.
From what I gathered, you can only update to Marshmallow with active ATT service through phone.
Is it possible for someone to extract the update and upload it so others can update it via SD card or something?
Hopefully phone would remain unlocked.

It should be possible. I did this for an update to the original Zmax on T Mobile.

God, my first phone without root on latest version, without custom roms and without unlocked bootloader :/

Yea so... I'm on my H635 G4 Stylus, android 6.0 and I tried everything to root it and nothing works. When I was on 5.1.1 I was able to root it with King(o)Root but when I restarted the phone, the root went away. Now I even tried to flash old KDZ file with android 5.1.1 and LG Flash Tool 2014 says some error and LG UP cannot recognize the phone. And i researched ALL the possibilities to make LG UP and Flash Tool work but still can't recognize it. So that means that I cannot downgrade the phone. Then I tried to root this 6.0 android I have and tried all sorts of things and no results. When I tried to root it with OneClickRoot it said that the root is currently unavailable but they will notify me as soon as they get it working. I even tried LG Root script. I mean... This phone has only 8gb of storage and 4 gigs is system only... Of course I have a memory card inside but this solves nothing. I wish this phone would finally be rootable because I want to hide those soft keys cause they looks stupid (there is app that hides them but its not "legit", the root version of the app is what I want) and delete some of the system apps.... And it would be cool that somebody would make something like slim rom that would be like 1gb in size. It's just not fun having it and I know this phone is very capable if someone spent a little bit of their time on this device. I'm so unhappy...

Did you find a way to root - im seraching, too

I still need this so do others please someone make something

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.
