I have three questions relating to this phone if anyone can answer them.
I was wondering if this phone with the current firmware/software version can be bootloader unlocked and rooted? (I will continuing to use Sprint so sim unlock isn't necessary).
If so, which tutorial would be the best method to use?
Lastly, once rooted will I be able to load custom roms?
Any recommended roms that are stable, fast, with great battery life?
I appreciate your time and help.

Thank you,

The Sprint version is unlockable but it's a bit of a hassle. Once you unlock, you can root it as well
For tutorials you have go to the guides section.
There is only one ROM that is stable and official which is EvoX atm.

Hi, this is perhaps a newbie question,
I have root and I am running CyongenMod and wanted to go back to the official stock for Nexus S. How can I go about doing that? Will I still be able to run ClockworkMod Recovery? And will I be able to install other mods in the future or does stock take away root access?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Which ns do you have?

The original one (from T-Mobile). Nexus S (not 4G).
Edit: I think this info is necessary.

Hi
I wrote this on Cyanogenmods own forum, but it doesn't seem very active, so trying here instead.
My phone is rooted (which should unlock my bootloader, right? Used CF-autoroot)
I'm trying to flash Cyanogenmod Nightly with Heimdall (is it possible with Odin?), as I followed Cyanogenmods own wiki guide how to flash GS5.
But the problem is that it fails at downloading the PIT file.

Anyone know what to do?
Also, when do they normally make an stable or at least an M release? The phone have been out for half a year, so just curious.
Thanks in advance
Noone knows? Please i'm lost at this and tired of Touchwiz!
My phone is beginning to lag some so I'd like to root and use a custom Rom. It's been a bit since I had a phone I could do it to so I don't want to screw this one up. I've read a bunch of threads but there's too much to go thru. Here's what I'm running, what would be the best/easiest way to get this accomplished. Thanks

There are no custom roms for the Snapdragon variants yet that I know of. The bootloader hasn't been unlocked so no custom recovers either.
I'd read up on the downsides of rooting this phone too (only charging to 80%, knox tripped, etc)
I currently have the LG K7 model number- LG-K330, it has a T-Mobile Carrier.
I have been wanting to root it, and get the TWRP recovery, but I have been really struggling with this device. The article I was following earlier, was not very specific, and I have only done this with one other device, which was android 4.2.2, so that was a lot easier to do then this. I mainly want to do this because......idk I just do . And my other phone is dying, the screen

I was wondering is anyone can help me with this on updating my phone from where it is now cuz it's pretty much kind of useless now but I know it has so much more potential than that I've been doing a little bit of research about it I know some not much but if someone can help me and put me in the right direction how I can update everything manually or harder son it would be greatly appreciated
Updating means patching existing Android version, in your case Android 7.1.1.
Aahh... okay so what do I need to do exactly to update my phone to today's services....
OS updates typically get rolled out by OEM / Carrier if they deem it neccessary.
