I'm thinking of getting this phone but I would also like my next phone to have root access. So I'm just wondering what are the chances of this phone getting root? I took a chance on a phone in the past and It ended up not getting root at all.

I had a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime, I was watching
Some youtube videos on hoe to root your phone, I thought it would work because of how many likes the video got. I did not know about devices being bricked at this time. So i downloaded kingroot and attempted root. It said root successful, so i plated around with some rooted apps then I tried to restart my phone it showed this. Yellow triange (Custom Binary Blocked by FRP) I regretted everything. Then I got a new phone, same brand. 5 months after having the phone my friends told me that they rooted their device and it didnt get bricked, I was told if i use the newest version of kingroot i wouldnt get bricked, so of course I tried to root, GOT BRICKED AGAIN ?. A week after my 2nd phone got bricked there was this mothersday sale in T-Mobile, so i got an LG K7 for 96 bucks. Right now I have this bestfriend who has the same phone as me (LG K7) and he said he rooted it with no problems, not bricked. nothing. Right now im struggling if I should root or not. Is it only Samsung devices that can get blocked by the FRP? Help!!

I have between trying to obtain root with my LG Escape 3 (LG-K373) from Cricket. I was able to get root temporarily with Kingroot, but then my phone restarts itself a minute later and root is gone. Just wondering if anyone else had rooted this phone and could provide some insight. Thanks so much!

There's no permanent root...yet. Kingroot will eventually brick your phone! And if you unroot now, you probably won't be able to install any updates, it will say this device is suspected of rooting. Warranty voided!

Yeah, I've realized I can't update now, but I guess that's fine. Is there any way to remove Kingroot?

You can uninstall kingroot. in the kingroot app settings. But even so, I couldn't get any updates.
With the lg devices dont we need a modified boot img? Something similar to what Messi2050 did for the lg stylo plus (metro). Im actually a sales rep for Cricket Wireless (and the escape 3 *k7* just went on a new promo, $20 with a port) So this would be awesome, i mite even grab one. Just got the lg Aristo so itd be cool to see hope in the modifed boot img for a similar device. Also with temp root you can run terminal emulator amd replace kinguser with super su, also isnt there a systemless root?

Sent from my LG-K373 using XDA Labs
Get super sume pro to remove KingRoot and have a clean SuperSU installed in place. It's what I've always used and it's not failed me one time. Haven't tried the escape yet but I'm flipping a coin on switching to cricket at getting that 20$ promo as we speak

Is there an app for me to download to root my LG 6.0 Escape 3 K3 7 3 phone
Well guys I did every step correctly but when I was just about to root my phone it came that it failed...it said you need to unlock your phone to install a custom os any clue on how to do that? it keeps popping up and it prevents me from rooting my s6 edge
This may be a bonehead question but...
I've been reading some of the forums for a few days now and Im at my wits end with not being able to root my Verizon Galaxy S6 (SM-G920V) due to bootloader blockage. I am noticing that it is seemingly possible to root an S7 on Verizon though. How is this possible considering the same stipulations, and an S6 being the more outdated phone??
On the S6 i believe it's possible via CF-AutoRoot, however, mine (G920W8) got it's IMEI/EFS lost and corrupted by the stock recovery it flashes back so not really recommend using it.
Protip: don't get Verizon Locked devices if you are willing to Root
Hi all,
I want a rooted phone but my last two phones (LG Stylo 2 and Samsung J727V) seem to be unrootable despite research and no lack of trying. I'm currently trying to root an older phone but there's no root for it with its current firmware and firmware rollback isn't working. It feels like someone in the mix (carrier/manufacturer/OS developer) is invested in making rooting as hard as possible. I really just want to go ahead and get a phone that is easily rootable on a carrier that allows it. Is there a good rule of thumb like, "look, go sign up with this carrier and get this phone today and come back to XDA?"
Thanks!

have you try kingroot? kingroot only will add a admin account. it won't change the stock Rom of your device. if it works for your device this is the fastest way to do it. without pc. just a apk file

Did you unlock your bootloader?
