How to root this smartphone? Needed help. Thank you.
Did you find the way?
Hello,
did you find the way or an article to root this phone? I tried following E400 manual, but it doesn't work.
Thanks

Where? I cant find it. Please don't let it be a secret
Download SuperOneClick here and root with rageagainstthecage method.
Ok, I'll give it a go -as long as you promise I wont brick it
BTW is there a free way to unlock it around?

Havent been able to get it to root. Superoneclick hangs on waiting for device.
I havent used it before - the expolit options are just Auto, psneuter and zergrush. They all hang. Should rageagainsthecage be an option there?

I cant even get it to install new apps to the external sd card with the "pm set-install-location 2" method
when i execute "pm get-install-location" it comes back with "2", but then when I try to install an app from the play store it goes straight to internal memory!"
I went for the E430 because it has "jelly-bean" but its a very limited phone if I cant get root and/or install apps and apps data to the external card

So, on further research.... its jelly bean and I dont think rageagainstthecage exploit works on that (even though I cant find it on superoneclick)
Also jelly bean has disabled app2sd entirely. There is a workaround where a script can swap sd/external sd so the os thinks ext mem is internal, but I havent been able to try it as it requires root to work.
So, we'll just have to twiddle our thumbs until someone who has a E430 actually roots it and lets us know how

Yes, seems like the jelly bean OS has made the existing root hacks redundant.
Should we combine the two threads into one to perhaps get more attention?
Also, I think the fact with JB you cant write apps to the ext SD is a *huge* drawback with this phone as it has such little memory. I would love, once someone has rooted it, to be able to rollback to the last version of android which allows writing apps to the card. Gingerbread?

If u talk about a NEW LG E430 L3 -2 (II) then ur options are very rare. This device is to new for a working root method.
I tried ALL rooting Tools u could find in the web...and NOTHING works.
So flashed a E435 dual SIM ROM with KDZ Flasher. Now I've a 98% working ROOTED ROM. Only Home-key a. MENU-Key doesn't work, the BACK-key works. Not such a big problem for me cuz I used/installed VIRTUAL BUTTONS and everything is fine again. Language is in EN and some other European.
---
It's ur personal decision to do the same. If u really going risky, like me, I'll send u all infos about that ROM flash.

You're right! I have E400f, and not E430. I don't know why I got confused, and thought we're talking about E400 or E405. That is why I didn't understand what's the big problem - and that is why I wrote I done it pretty easily...
Sorry for that.
bohenian wrote that he succeeded with E435. Maybe you should try it. Look here.

Ouch. Your WiFi is broken because he told you to flash a US VZW (XT-907) firmware.
Okay. First, you should try to find a 201M restore file. That will get your WiFi back. Next, since you've got a Dev edition, you can bootloader unlock and install a custom recovery, then flash a root zip
EDIT: Found it

While the link I gave him was unidentified as to warnings to non vzw users (now fixed) , the flashing of vzw sw comes in step 8 clearly he would have had to have pulled it from a xml himself if he even got that far. And if he did it would have been from reading the rzr op. As the bare motochopper has no vzw sw inside.

I didn't get the system img at all. I just wanted to flash the superuser files to /data which I thought would set me up to flash the whole thing with Rom manager.
Anyway, thank you for the help. I am downloading the firmware you linked to now. This guide tells me to edit the XML file and remove the getvar text from it, should this apply here as well? (Edit: Cant post outside links, but I think you get my point)
I'm going to use RSD 6.1.4 to restore the firmware. Any further instructions would be appreciated as I have never done this before.

Don't think you'll need to since it's designed for your device. You can try without the edit and do it if it doesn't work. I'll try to find a guide for RSDLite (been a while since I used it myself - fastboot is usually what I use now...

Dear sir,
I'd like you to buy a ticket to Karachi right now because I'd run all the way to the airport to KISS YOU until the police dragged me away.
The process worked. My wifi just turned back on. Thank you very much for the weekend stress relief!
I think I'm gonna give up on the idea of rooting this thing until there's a more reliable method available. Also, if anyone has the same issue then take note: I did remove the getvar commands when using RSD.

I am glad SC took care of you & I am sorry I lead you in that direction.
Please fill in some details for others?
How do you have a path to the newer sw? Is it your carriers ota? If you can obtain the same in the xml form there is an easy root using a modded ver w/ unlocked phone. The ota.zip could also be useful if you take it while you have root. It resides in /cache.
Thank you

It wasn't your fault for trying to help, so it's ok. I'm glad a solution existed.
I'm more than willing to answer the questions, but I am a layman here so please explain some things for me: What do you mean by SW? I just installed the update by going into about phone -> system update on Wifi. The carriers here don't even support 3G, much less 4G (So now you know why Wifi was important for me).
The phone came unlocked day one when I bought it from a friend's friend. I don't know if he did it that way or if it comes unlocked because it is the developer edition.
I installed CW Recovery using Fastboot. I installed the incorrect superuser file using Motofail which wrote the superuser file but failed at all other steps. I was then unable to either access or remove this superuser apk file.
Since I am back on 4.0.4. now, what's the easy way to get root access and superuser permissions that you mention? I wish other XT902 owners would post here too, generating interest would really help in getting development support for this phone.

Lol no problem, glad to know it worked. Getting root is actually really simple since you're unlocked. All you need to do is flash a custom recovery and flash a root .zip from there... No exploits required
I can try to write up a guide to that if you want

Once you root on 404 you can grab your update.zip & copy it to your sd . Any rooting exploit would evolve from that Or the newest xml ver of the 404 you just flashed from rsd. You may be able to request it from your carrier.
---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------
You can paste the mods from my vzw restore (no vzw software will be used) into the 404 xml & obtain root from a preinstalled cwmr! Then maintain root with voodoo for your ota.
I will help you just read the op. Link is in my signature.

Cause you didn't disable your antivirus/anti malware. It's exploit trying to install the root on your device. The exploit was detected by your antivirus & antimalware as a threat so they blocked it. It's truly a false alarm. You will never root your device if you don't trust the exploit.

garyd9 said:
There's some misinformation going around concerning lollipop (android 5.0), root, and the SHIELD tablet. I'm posting this (redundant) information to (hopefully) clear things up and prevent someone from causing themselves a headache after the tablet updates...
nvidia has stuck very close to AOSP in their tablet firmware updates, so it's a reasonable assumption (at this point) that the new firmware will also be very close to AOSP.
If that comes to be, then "rooting" the tablet will be more difficult than in previous firmware updates. Most of the gory details can be found in this G+ article by @Chainfire : https://plus.google.com/113517319477420052449/posts/VxjfYJnZAXP
(BTW, as always, a huge thanks to Chainfire for his efforts. If you haven't already, paying for the upgrade to "SuperSU Pro" is well worth the price if for no other reason than to encourage Chainfire to continue work on that project.)
If you don't understand the details of that post from chainfire, I'll try to summarize it: Even if you manage to get a copy of the "su" binary on your system partition (which is essentially the goal of all the older root exploits), it won't matter much in Android 5.0. In Android 5.0, we'll ALSO need a part of the kernel image changed (the ramdisk) so that a part of "superSU" can run at a more permissive context.
Updating the kernel ramdisk shouldn't be too difficult (if its compressed with the kernel in a normal way) once we have the image to play with. As well, in order to put the newly modified kernel image in place, a person would have to unlock their bootloader (which can void your warranty.)
Actually, it's possible (once the image is released by nvidia) that @Chainfire will stick the image on his server in one of his very easy to use "CF-Auto-Root" bundles. (Hopefully, all the @ references I've made will get him to look at this thread and confirm what I've said. The honest truth is that I'm NOT familiar with SELinux, so I'd have to do a bit of experimenting to get this working.)
Take care

Have you found any specifics on what will need to be modified in the ramdisk? I haven't really done anything with the boot.img itself but I'd be interested to see what is going on with this.

It seems to be. Only problem I have run into is that FX file explorer root mode doesn't seem to work, but ES does so I think it's an app compatibility with 5.0 thing rather than a problem with root.

Awesome, I use FolderMount to link my obb files from the sd card to the main so that my largest game files are all on my sd card. I actually have the premium version so I just link my whole obb folder and data folder but I would guess linking any obb and then seeing if the game would load would test it. As for Titanium a backup/delete/restore of any app would test all of the features. Thanks for checking that out

So I already installed the update for lollipop. Although I was rooted using towelroot, I never installed CWM or unlocked my bootloader. Is it too late to follow the instructions to unlock my bootloader at this point? Do I need to just wait for another root method?

No if you unlock your bootloader you can follow my unlocked instruuctions.

Figured I would start a new thread so we don't clog up the recovery thread. I will start new threads depending on the question or comments and how important they are to our device . I hope others will do the same so maybe we get enough post to maybe get a sub forum and hopefully get some developement going

These work good so far for me except some stuff in g4 tweaksbox doesn't work but some does . just be careful if you bootloop might be hard to get everything back

I am new to xposed... Where can I find this version... I have read that you must install the package with recovery and then run an installer in Android to get xposed installed?

Just remember if you mess up its hard to get things back up so flash at your own risk . you will also have to download an app I suggest the material version

I was lucky enough to find the BOOST LG Stylo II on sale for $119 at BestBuy yesterday. Unluckily though, its the LGLS775ABB Z4...... Has marshmellow 6.0.1 and there is an update waiting to install right out of the box........ just messing around the forums trying to see if there is any reprieve to being stuck without root and enough bloatware to sink a ship...............
How do I at least restore expandable storage in this pos?

Thank you. I installed xposed, the application, and a few modules. Working good! Have a good day
Is there any word of CyanogenMod or any other coustom ROMs for this device yet? Just picked up the LSMG550 this evening. Rooted using the guide in OP (also linked at the bottom of my post)
My question is this; Are there any coustom ROMs, or a bloated stock ROM for the LGMS550 (Metro PCS variant LG G Stylo 2 Plus)? I could not find any in my searches, but that is to say I didn't over look them.

We have no developers I don't think , we out sourced to get recovery and root. . But it's cool because we have root and Xposed I'm pretty happy
So I have been using my phone rooted with boot loader unlocked... If I re-lock the bootloader does that remove root from the system??.. Sorry, a bit of a noob on this. Secondly, if locking back up the boot loader does not harm root is there a reason one should do so?

I don't think you can run root with bootloader locked,i could be wrong. But if you lock it your phone will probably reset itself to factory so I would think root would be gone. Also don't think the twrp will work with it locked
OK. I wasn't sure. This is first phone I had to Unlock the bootloader to gain root. My previous devices I used king root.. So this whole process of rooting the LG stylo 2 has been a learning experience. Thank you for your help.
How do I install V4A if I can't swipe to allow modifications. I don't want to brick or bootloop.
Nvm figured it out sorry for being a noob
Few tested Xposed module which works on stock ROM:
1) App Setting ( change DPI to 270 safely, anything below that will give you continuous phone app crash), you might have to change the LG system level apps(Phone, contacts, music,camera) DPI to 320 for them to work.
2) GravityBox MM (many options work) including the circle battery, clock,date, data speed indicator

Does anyone know how to get rid of this annoying message when using the stylus? I have to put the stylus back in the phone to get rid of it.
Thanks !

Has anyone successfully rooted this phone yet? LG Stylo 3 LG-M430 from Cricket?
Thanks
I have been trying. The boot loader is locked, like the Z983 Blade XMax. If you find something, let everyone here know please!! I have tried several methods, and explored via adb.. Nothing solid yet.
According to SRSroot's twitter just now they have found a one click method for the Cricket LG-M430.
The .exe file is for download on their wedsite (SRSroot.com) not sure if it works but I will try it as soon I get home.

These guys (SRSroot.com) are crooks, they tell you your phone is rootable via there app, then Then later tell you root isn't possible for your phone. still keeping your $40 bucks!

I think everyone's given up on this one.
Id like to give it a shot. It seems like this phone is a blend between the ph2n(MS550) and sf340n(MP450). I dont have a computer so ill get an OTG cable soon and see what i can do. Ive been using my Stylo 2 Plus with Magisk 18.0 and the ADB /Fastboot module to play with other devices. The beauty is if i do experience a brick my stylo2+ is at least factory unlocked....knock on wood. I would love getting one of these non metro/tmobile variants a new life

In the xda forum the MTK Easy Root method is available. Which gives you root permissions with the limitation that you cannot write to the system only read, that is. You cannot modify any file or delete apps from the system. But we are on the right track, I wonder if this method can advance something.
That's not going to work

I think I found root for a similar phone with a larger screen at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81269513&postcount=5
I also see someone posted a youtube video about rooting the Stylo 3 (but I don't know whether it was the M430 or LS777) It apparently used a TWRP 3.2.1 for SF340. It was mentioned on getandroidtips.
This is my only working phone and I can't take it out of service yet.
