Was anyone else unable to root their myTouch 4G? I rooted my G2, but when I try to root my myTouch it simply does not work. It never recognizes the insmod /data/local/wpx.ko command so I can't do anything beyond that. G2 worked without a hitch.
I hope there's an easier root method soon.
Did you transfer the files via ADB, or Root Explorer?
I'm glad the devs got us root rather quickly, but personally I'm waiting for a decent ROM and easier method before attempting. I'm happy atm with temp root and freezing apps/bloatware so I don't really see a need to perma-root now. But to each their own, I hope the people who want to root now are able to do so with relative ease. Cheers.
I read in the G2 forum that Visionary is supposed to update tomorrow to include the G2 for Perma Root, might include us as well. Might be worth it to wait a couple days.
Hello, I have the TMobile lg-g2 4.2.2 d80110c, I have tried my best and followed all of the guides I could in this forum and others, but never succeed in rooting my phone.
I have the stock rom and cant go into recovery, only hard reset, and when using ioroot my phone just restartes.
When using another root guide, the cmd window just closes after a few seconds, there was even one in which I got all the way to the end and installed superuser only to find out with rootchecker that I didn't actually succeed in the rooting proccess.
towelroot does not work either, neither does any guide i found on the internet.
I have also tried to soft reset the device and then try to root it but again I arrived at the same results.
Does anyone have any idea of why this isnt working for me? or what am missing?
thanks

Did you already unlock the boot loader?
No variant of the lg g2 has an unlockable bootloader all g2s are Loki patched very little difference but its not a good idea to confuse the two you can end up with a brick you should try reflashing the stock ROM maybe there is something weird going on
sent from my T-Mobile LG-VS980
Update ROM
I think towel root is not working for you because you are on 80110c. IOroot unfortunately does not work on the T Mobile D 801. Try updating to at least 80110g. You will need the AutoRec apk to install custom recovery http://www.droidviews.com/install-twrp-recovery-on-lg-g2-running-android-4-4-2-kitkat/
Hope this helps.
Wondering if anyone in the know has heard of any development going on for this device? I recently bought one and it's not a bad phone for the price, but I've seen absolutely -nothing- on it anywhere online for the most part. It's barely root-able with what I've been able to find, and no custom recovery or really anything custom has popped up that I've seen.
Not sure if it's just that it's been only a few months since the phone came out, or if it's just not that great a phone. I upgraded from an HTC Desire 510 to this, and it was heavily customized/rooted/etc, and I want so badly to get back to where I was with it on this phone I cant stand it!
I also want to root my Galaxy J3! I just want to root it so I can use AdAway and Titanium Backup.

Right now rooting isn't the problem so much as keeping root. Because apparently the colonel has protection and will remove root whenever you reboot. That means things that require root on boot like backups, Xposed and a lot of other things won't work for us until someone complies a kernel with root protection removed. You can do some debloating and possibly the AdAway but that's about it right now.
*kernel. Damn voice to text.
That sucks. I upgraded from an LG Volt and I was able to do a whole bunch of stuff on it. The J3 is still very new, so hopefully development will happen soon.
I just got this phone if there is anything i can do to help move this along let me know. I have the virgin mobile one.

I guess that would depend on what you have experience with and what you can do. Thus-far root has been able to be achieved with Kingroot, though it wont stick through a power cycle (reboot/power off/etc), and using any of the methods available (at least that I'm aware of, only found two legitimate ones) to replace Kingroot with SuperSU (to facilitate having root stick past the reboot hopefully) causes a soft-brick every time forcing a re-flash of stock firmware through Odin.
At the very least make your voice heard, if nothing else hopefully more popularity will come this devices way and we'll see some development for it. My roommate is considering writing something for it, but it is a long process working solo, so anyone who has experience working with kernels or editing stock rom/writing custom roms feels up to helping out, shoot me a message and I'll get it over to him. He's a fairly experienced programmer and picks up what he doesn't already know pretty quickly.
Got one recently too. Would also appreciate any more information on rooting.
I have a J320A (AT&T) came stock with 6.0.1, can help test if needed

I know this is an old thread, just making my rounds looking for anything on the J3 myself (SM-J320P Boost, Virgin, etc...) and have found TWRP & permanent root with Chainfire's SuperSU (system-less though). Everything is great except a lag issue with supersu. There is an exposed by wanum that works as well. Only app that has root issue so far is ES File Explorer. If anyone is still looking hope this helps.

Will this version of TWRP work on the Att variant running 6.0.1? Is there a way to root that device yet?

Anything yet for J320A/Z models? (AT&T/cricket)
This version of TWRP won't work will it? Totally different phone?
EDIT: just realized the guy above has the same question... something tells me we won't see root on the ATT/cricket variants for a while.

Try official TWRP of galaxy J2. Your variant shares the same specs as J2. Others also did this to galaxy On5, it works 100%.

SM-J320VPP = the verizon pre paid planversion. any working roots for me yet?

So can you confirm this method works? Does OEM unlock setting in dev options unlock the bootloader on AT&T variant? If so couldn't I temp root and flash TWRP via Flashify?

It doesn't work tried it 3 times. I even tried other ones no luck. They locked this thing down. Im surprise chainfire haven't tried this phone yet.
Hi, guys! I understand it was an old thread, but I was referred here from Reddit. I have a Galaxy J3 (SM-J3109) purchased in Mainland China (Service provider is China Telecom). I rooted it with Kingo Root. Kingo Root stated that it successfully rooted the device, but the phone OS had given me warnings about unauthorized access to the device or something.
One week later (I did *not* reflash the phone nor install any applications after I rooted the phone) I found the phone stuck in an annoying bootloop. The device status is still "official" and the Knox counter is still set at 0x0.
Now that it's bootlooping I'd like to know if it's possible to take the applications and files off the phone before I factory reset it. It's not looking hopeful as I read similar threads from 2012 saying that once other Android devices bootloop, getting stuff off of them is impossible. I tried using ADB to take data off the phone (while Odin3 was detecting it being connected to the PC) but ADB doesn't detect the phone. Should I try a different cable?

Best advice would be to try flashing the stock firmware with odin. That shouldn't delete any of your data and will usually fix a bootloop. You can Google your phones stock firmware and see if you can download it.

Thank you so much! I tried using Odin to flash a software update and it worked perfectly. The phone is back up and running and all of the files are still there!
Right now i have TWRP 3.0.2 with supersu and i havent lost root yet also had no problem switching between backups, xposed working fine and also overclock too with setcpu, im currently running 5.1.1 using j320FN but TWRP was from j320F, i will put up links to the files if any of you are willing to try its up to you.
TWRP flash through odin : http://www.mediafire.com/download/blk7qa90vs6wik3/TWRP_3.0.2-0_SM-J320F.tar.tar
Supersu flash through recovery then update through playstore then install busybox after through playstore : http://www.mediafire.com/download/cpv2c71cp11x41f/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip
Remember to turn on usb debugging and turn on oem unlock before flashing recovery, also if you manage to get recovery press they grey box on the right to change language to english. Hope this might help somebody on here because we really need full root for everyone.
Hello everyone,
I am trying to root a SM-T537V, and I am having no success. My end goal is to attempt to run a linux distro on my tablet for fun and to use for my school assignments. I tried KingRoot, which achieved root, but lost it upon reboot. Some more research said this was because the bootloader was locked. I also tried towelroot, and the app seemed to do nothing. I don't mind doing it manually, but I just cant find any steps or information on the process.

Hi there I also have a SM T537 but mine is the AT&T Variant (the other overbearing service provider), I wish I had some advice for you, But I too have only had success in getting temporary root with Kingroot. No other one click rooter has had any success.
My device in question :
Samsung Tab 4
SM-T5337A
Running Android 5.1.1
BUILD # LMY47X.537AUCU1BOJ3
Has any one been able to get permanent root?, or able to point us to the proper thread, or even a “search phrase” to get us on the right path.
I"m finding it impossible to find anything on rooting the LG Stylus 2.. I know it's an old phone but I'm hoping someone out there has a solution to this..
I've tried Kingo Root. Both the App and PC version fails to root the phone.
This phone is running Android 7.0.
I've rooted phones before. The last one I rooted was a Blackview BV6000 which was very easy to root using Smartphone Flash Tool and a root file.
Would someone be able to point me in the right direction? Thanks
does anyone even know how to unlock the bootloader.. The known method using adb doesn't work. Either does the method listed on their website.. It all requires you to boot into your bootloader which I can't get into.
has anyone been successful at unlocking the bootloader on this phone. LG-K520DY. ?
LG Stylus 2 Duo.
Did anyone find a solution?
