Okay, so I am looking at using MetroPCS as my service provider because of the very cheap plan prices. The phone I would like to get is the Optimus M. Now does any one know if it is possible to root the phone? I have never owned a Android phone, so I'm kinda new to this, but I would really like to root it. Also, if it is possible, how easy is it to do? Along with these 2 questions, I have one more. I was looking into CM7, and if it is possible to root the phone, can CM7 be used. If not, are there any other CM7 like ROMs?
I am a noob, so sorry if this sounds stupid. Thanks for any help.
Sincerely,
Jetso
I have scoured the Internet for information regarding any custom work for this phone.
I stumbled upon samsungillusionforum dot com, which is a dead forum with ancient posts and near zero activity. It seems to be an alias to samsungfascinateforum dot com. Why anybody would set a forum up in this manner is beyond me.
Last month I bought the Verizon Wireless Samsung Illusion SCH-i110. I waited around a month to see if anybody would post any information regarding rooting/ROMs for this phone to no avail.
I plan on trying SuperOneClick to root the phone, but as for Custom ROMS I don't know what is out there.
I would appreciate any and all information anybody has regarding ongoing customization work for the Verizon Wireless Samsung Illusion SCH-i110 running Android 2.3.5.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I too have been looking to see if i can find a way to root this phone...i like the phone, nice and responsive and just a good midrange phone, however i do want to get root access for wifi tethering.... I have tried superoneclick, doomlord, z4, gingerbreak, and universal androot all to no avail... if anyone has success getting this rooted please share the knowledge and it'd be highly appreciated....
I am in the same boat here... My girlfriend recently picked one up and hates all the VZW apps that are installed and we want to remove them and tweak the system a bit. I have scoured through the interwebs for close to 2 weeks trying to find anything that can root this phone. Unfortunately, anything out there as far as I can tell does not work... Can anybody please help with this?
yes please im in the same shape as yall i got a couple darts modded and now i have the gnex and it is great but if i cant find anything soon maybe this one will not majically work and need to trade for a differatnt model.......ive also tries every method th OP origanilly posted............sux new toy no mod
Same here. Starting to think no one will ever root this phone. It boggles the mind that there is an unrootable android phone on the market. :-(

I was an idiot to suggest to my wife she get this phone from Verizon - I just assumed it was going to be a quick root for this cheap phone and I'd get all that Verizon crap off of it and it'd run great...
Looks like it ain't never going to happen.
did you try ZergRush? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296916
It's not that it's unrootable, it's just no one spends time rooting/modding prepaid phones... I'd be willing to work on it but I would need a tester, someone who can use ADB
I personally have tried everything including ADB to root this device. It isn't a prepaid phone. It is a contract phone through VZW
Just wondering if anyone has tried getting root by using Unlock Root from unlockroot dot com?
I am also interested in any progress on this phone.
I have the straight talk version S720C Samsung Proclaim which runs on Verizon service.
I assume that once a root for the paid Verizion is working that it should work as well on the Proclaim?
I got this for my daughter and being able to wifi teather would be great
I have tried every method to root this device. None have worked. Zergrush, unlock root, super one click, doomlord, z4root, manually, and a few other methods... Have the devs stopped working with one click root programs?

You're right, I should not had said a word....
Shabby did post some info, check with him n step up n test or stay quiet
dj posted what he could, he has root, took the guy 5min or less to do it once he had access to dj's phone.
I dont have any info to pass along, except more info details and a easy way for you all to get root is coming.
Hey guys, I'm farley new here but I have been frequenting the site for some odd years. I don't know much about the one click roots, but I don't have a computer to do it that way right now.
So I'm asking for help to do so. What I'm looking to do in the root is just be able to use the wifi hotspot whenever without the ridiculous sprint charge, which is some odd 35$ a month or so.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you guys
Bump.
Somebody want to be helpful? I've searched the threads and can't find what I want to do. I'm currently running marshmallow on my sprint galaxy s5 gm-900p I believe. I just,wanna be able to use the wifi hotspot without springs insane charges!!!
Help lol
No need to root. Just search and read. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62734275

So I recently rooted my Samsung S8+, G995U (The Box my phone came in says G955USQU1AQC9 and my carrier is ATT), using this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...root-partcyborgrom-aqk3-samfail-odin-t3717702. Everything went well, my phone rooted correctly, no errors. However, I found out that SnapChat doesn't work on rooted devices (rootcloak didnt work, and root switch froze my phone.). Now, I would like to keep texting friends and this one girl through SnapChat, so if anyone could help me revert back, I'd really appreciate it. If you need any other information in order to help me through, please let me know. I'd like to have this done before Saturday, but as long as I can get it fixed it should be fine. Thanks in advance.
P.S. I'm a noobie to all this, so if you could be a little clearer, than you would normally be, when explaining steps I'd really appreciate it.
P.S.S Idk how to insert images, so here's an imgur link to some other info from About Phone https://imgur.com/gallery/RhHMm

ive been reading for a couple weeks on my spare time and we surely would like to get this phone useable. i think i understand the files ill need, the number to the phone is a 930vluds8dsa1. so the combination file ill need has a binary of "8"? ive also sorta figure out that its a straight talk phone and i will have to flassh it back to a verizon since there isnt a straight talk stock firmware? if someone could point me in the right directions i would greatly appreciate it.
i also have a note 4 i would like to root, so im still doing homework on that also
thanks in advance to anyone who give this post some of there personal time
