How to root and then unroot LG G2? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I and attempting to enable the verizon hotspot provisioning bypass, I just want the hotspot to work and the remainder of the phone can be stock'ish.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456338&page=12
I am using GFE (Good for Enterprise) and need to make sure that post the above update the root on the phone is removed ( I don't care about hidding it really). I am not sure from the posting below if a temp root solution exists.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040163
So how can I temp root the phone, make the needed changes for "hotspot bypass" and then unroot so GFEZ will still work.
Thanks

[Q] Got 2.2.2 update VM and want wifi hotspot

Is there some way to crack this password they want , Is there a root for 2.2.2 VM intercept yet?
there are plenty of ways to root. search sdx android forums and use any wifi tethering app with the root.
1) Get z4 app (get it on google, install from SD card - watch for viruses)
2) Get Barnacle Free from android market. Install and run once your Android is temp rooted with z4.
Boom - - got your hotspot
Z4 is just a front end for SU app but gives you two buttons (Temp and Perm root options). If you are competent you can just get the superuser app and do it yourself
i turned my phone into a hotspot with superbox but cannot figure the password can someone tell me what the default might be
sorry i see no way to delete posts so im editing

[Q] Removing Superuser 3.1.3 (46) from L3

Hello friends
I am not a technically advanced person regarding Android systems. I had successfully rooted my LG Optimus L3 E400 and installed ROM Manager. Now I need to take the phone to the service center to address some battery problems. So it necessary to unrot my phone and removing the "superuser" application.
I have tried Gingerbreak version 1.20 but that did not work. Though the phone is not rooted anymore, I could not find any way toremove the "superuser" application, which was not removed by Gingerbreak.
Please help.
Thank you.
Please help me folks!
Please note, I have Stock ROM installed and I have never used any custom ROM on this phone.
all what you need is just remove all root apps an super user as the last one.
i believe that they won't care about your phone as rooted or not. they only care about customers satisfaction n selling their products...
I wish it had been so! Unfortunately, rooting voids warranty. So it was necessary for me to unroot the phone and remove the "superuser" application before I hand it over to the service center people, as they would be more than happy to reject my free service claim as soon as they find the "superuser" application.
Well, I had to factory reset the phone get rid of "superuser", but I have lost all my contacts, SMS etc...
Never knew that it would be so hard to remove "superuser"...
use root explorer > go to > /system/app/ > mount as read write (r/w) see right above > just delete that superuser.apk n reboot your phone > done
I wish you had told me this about an hour ago
Still, thank you and I shall keep it in mind for future references.
By root explorer, do you mean any file explorer like "Astro"?
sorry just read your thread an hour ago....
yes, every root explorer that can require su permission. it's not usually file explorer...

Supersu Me - Root Apps - You Use

Since we now have sort of root I wanted to have a thread where you guys could list all root apps you use and what they do.
When I used to root and do custom roms the apps I would use was adaway,root checker,sometimes titanium backup,and xposed with some tweaks.
The reason I made this thread and I hope someone else didn't make one if they did (mod close this) was to know which root apps you guys use with temp root (until we get perma root) which at this point I think we will have soon.
When I have time I can add lists of apps you guys use or suggest here in OP.
Thanks!
** List Of Apps :
Root Checker - Checks to make sure root works
Titanium Backup - Easy way of remove bloat apps
I was able to use AdAway/AdFree successfully, however on reboot the host file was reverted back.

Need assistance with SuperSU 2.52, TitaniumBackup, unencryption & WiFi Tethering

Hey everyone, i've read through tons of threads and i know root isn't really fully implemented yet. My 6P is arriving today and i was hoping someone could assist with some light modifications.
1) Rooting:
- I am currently on a Nexus 6 running rooted stock marshmallow. It was a pain to get around the "red triangle" on boot. Will using Chainfires modified boot.img get rid of any of the "triangles" on boot?
- With SuperSU 2.52 beta, i had to do something funky by manually going into adb shell to allow r/w on the system. I have some messages saved, but those were fro the N6, not sure if it works the same way on the 6P
2) Does Chainfires boot.img un-encrypt the device? If not, how can i do this?
3) Enable Tethering: After manually adb shell i was able to modify build.prop to add one line of code to enable tethering.
4) TitaniumBackup: is this currently working with the root capabilites we have today? i currently use Google Authenticator & am unsure how to move the app data to a new device without rooting & using TiBu.
i know I'm asking for quite a bit here but i wont be home this weekend and want to take care of everything tonight and unfortunately wont have time to dig through the forums to find all these answers so im hoping one of the smart folks here can assist. If theres an easier way to do any of what i mentioned above please feel free to let me know.
Thanks all!

WiFi Tether unlimited nougat (ROOT)

PLEASE NOTE:This is NOT a guide to root your phone but i did provide the links to the tools to do so for the Samsung j700p.
WARMING; Rooting a device may void the warranty on the device. It may also make the device unstable or if not done properly, may completely brick the device. Some methods may install additional apps/software on your device. XDA-Developers or the author does not take any responsibility for your device. Root at your own risk and only if you understand what you are doing! Additionally this may go against your service contract which I'm not responsible for as well.
Worked for my j700p running 7.1.1 stock rooted with TWRP/SUPERSU latest.
What you need to do to get tethering on Nougat is root the device (temporarily at least), enable tethering and then (if you want) unroot it so that everything is back to normal and you can take OTA updates and use Android Pay without any issues.
All you’ll need to enable tethering on Android nougat is TWRP recovery installed on your device and the latest systemless SuperSU zip to root the device. (Always remember to backup your system just in case)
How to Enable Tethering on Android Nougat
Root your android running nougat
Edit build.prop file: Add the
net.tethering.noprovisioning
line to the bottom of build.prop file on your Android device. (Download Build Prop Editor from the play store if you don't know how to get to this, I suggest Rom toolbox as it has build.prop included as well as terminal emulator which you will need for the next step. LINKS BELOW)
Reboot device after saving changes to build.prop file.
Download/install a Terminal emulator app from Play Store (I used the terminal emulator included in ROM toolbox but you can choose whichever you'd like.) You also you WILL need busy box installed to be able to execute this line.
Open Terminal emulator on your device and issue the following commands one-by-one:
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
exit
└ Grant root access to the app when asked.
Reboot device
DONE!
If you wish to unroot now you can. I have not tested this so can't confirm if works after unroot (since I love having ROOT) but jyst go to
SuperSu settings full unroot. Restart and you should be good. This should renable android pay. If not don't ask me to help as I don't use android pay nor wish to unroot my own device.

Did you make sure u granted ROOT permission for the build prop and terminal apps? You also must restart in between the build prop and terminal commands. You also need busybox installed with root permission this was mist likely the reason it didn't stick. I've updated the OP along with links. Please let me know if that helps. Last note make sure everything is up to date.

hey no problem im glad i could help and that it worked. i think if u pay for a service they shouldnt limit you so much on using it
I think I might have spoken too soon. Is this for the Virgin Mobile or Boost Mobile J700P? I have Virgin Mobile and I keep getting the "you have not subscribed to this service" window. It stayed on for a few minutes but the minute I went to go connect my smart TV to my hotspot, it turned it back off.

Did you make sure with build.prop you entered the net.provisioning line in "value" and not name? I'm using boost unlimited $50 plan but should work for virgin as well. Did you unroot? Are you using magisk or supersu?

I'm using SuperSU. Yes, everything as instructed. I was able to do it when I was still with Marshmallow (Using Sqlite editor) but after the update, I have not had any luck.

Hmm try using a vpn. Nordvpn is having a 7day free trial right now. Reset your network settings, repeat the steps above. Before you turn on the hotspot shield turn on the vpn and after connect try it. If you still get the notification then its something installed on your phone from VM that's monitoring your usage which is most likely. I recommend switching to boost. Their 50$ plan is pretty good. Great coverage in my area and surroundings. I use about 200-300gb torrenting and tethering a month and they don't seem to care. Using a vpn I get about 2mb down consistently except during peak hours. Anyways let me know about the vpn working or not. Hopefully it's that simple.

Thank you. I'm definitely going to switch. I don't know why I'm paying $60 for "Unlimited" data to use only with the phone and they expect me to pay an additional $10 for only 2 Gigs of hotspot. I hardly use any of my phone data. LOL. Maybe I need to check prices of wifi internet for the home if they even have it in my neck of the woods. Thank you so very much for all your time and help. You're the bestest. Happy Holidays.

Yea I hear you. My $50 plan comes with 8gb hotspot buti tend to go over that...WAY over that lol. Currently torrenting 8 pc games lol. Side note though on this plan. You get 23gb a month "prioritized" connection meaning full speeds always. After that your put on the back burner during peak times or in other words when your tower your connected to is busy. Doesn't happen often it seems and I live in the middle of a decent size city so if you're not in say Houston or new York I'd say you won't have anything to worry about. I'm sorry I didn't fix your problem and I wish you the best. Happy holidays to you as well.

Did you type each line and hit enter(return) each time? Such as "su[enter]" starts another line "settings put global blah blah[enter]" it will start another line "exit[enter]" u may need to type exit again after this. I had to. So 2 "exit[enter]"
I used an alternative method I found here awhile back.. install APN backup and restore, convert it to a system app (important, use apps2sd or the like), backup your apns then edit the backup file, add ",dun" to each apn in the APN backup xml in the "type" field. Then go back into the APN backup app, delete apns and restore the backup you edited. There's a full write up here around the just forum somewhere with more details. It works great, may have to restore your APN backup if you update prl.

Does this method still work for you? Now when I use my WiFi after my 8gb limit it goes to boost homepage on connected device ?
Does this work on the j700t1.
I'm going to try it when I get home but I'm just curious if anyone got it working on the metro pcs variant.
