Seems like there are several versions of the LG STYLO 2 ... The one I'm wondering about is the STYLO 2 V (verizon?) Its model LG VS835
Is there a ROOT method?
MANY THANKS.
I've been wondering same . I just got phone last week. From what I can tell this is a new version of this Phone and it has different soc / cpu then the previous models so it may take a while before is rooted.
There is forum for the stylo, there seem to be several variants listed but I did not see this one.
I'll need to check the stylo forum. I must have missed it.
The model I have has the MediaTek chip... Not the snapdragon chip.

Yeah, the Verizon model has the MT6755M chip from mediatek instead of a snapdragon. Maybe someone has a root method for it that can work on this phone, but I haven't found anything yet.

It looks likes this cpu / chip has been rooted in other devices. Hopefully someone will root this device, one click root would be nice.
I got this phone for my daughter in law for Christmas. Seemed like a great phone for the price... She'll be using it on tmobile GSM. But I never gave any thought to it not being able to be rooted. Having root had been a given. I guess that's what I get for "assume"ing
Maybe root will come before Santa does.

There is usually not much activity unless it is a very popular device. And this stylo has a mediatek chip instead of a snapdragon like all of the other stylos. Plus, it's a verizon phone... I do hope that someone will take an interest in it and root it, but it may take a while.
Oh well... I guess if another deal on a more popular phone doesn't pop up before Christmas, she'll have to be happy with no root. I will monitor this thread in hopes for root. Thanks everyone

Just wondering if anyone happens to know if a root method has been found for the Verizon stylo 2 V? LG VS835 device?
Thanks!
Sent from my Samsung Note 6
Just popping in to see if anyone found root? I didn't have any luck on my Google search.
I can add that I've tried King root and king-o-root and neither one will root the vs835. I tried a few from a Google search of apps that are "supposed" root almost any phone, but none would root the vs835. Hopefully someone smarter than me will find a way.
I will also add, there is a app on the play store called ad guard that helps remove ads while browsing - no root required. There is also a other app here on xda call ad cleaner, again no root required but removes ads (though I had better luck with ad guard - but ad cleaner may have needed a little personal attention to settings that I didn't give it?)
Cmon root!? Where are you?

Question for those with a lg vs835 stylo 2. My DIL is using a 16gb version, with a 32gb external sdcard for pics and videos.
She is filling up the internal 16gb with just a very few apps... Can anyone suggest ways to improve life with 16gb internal storage? There is lots of Verizon bloatware on there taking up space, but without root can't remove that...
Need a little advice. Thanks.
Sent from my Samsung Note 6 ?
Just a bump.... I've never found anything that can root this model. I guess this was the least popular model of the stylo 2 line? Shame really, it's a decent phone for the price but with absolutely zero support that I've found? If there are any support threads here on xda I have not found them.

Yea well it does have *slightly* better specs than the Prime, but the Prime was released in 2012. The price can't be beat, tho. I hope people flock to it.
I think part of the reason there's no one here is because you can't find this tablet anywhere but a few brick-and-mortar Best Buy stores right now. I can't find a single online retailer that lists it in their stock yet. Once it's widely available, this forum should fill up. For now, it's just you and me, I guess lol.

Wow. Can you post a guide?
Sure thing.
Here is towel root https://towelroot.com
Download the app a day run it, will give you root. After that download supersu from the market and run it.
Download xposed from here http://repo.xposed.info
I think latest stable is 2.6.1.
After that you can download the g3 tweak from the market. The g3 and 10.1 are very similar rom wise, I've been able go use some of the theme tweaks (every one tried has worked, but can't guarantee all of it works since it's for the g3)

I can confirm that this works. I even picked up an app from the play store that allows you to add any app to the duel windows. Ive wanted that function ever since i got this device! I havnt played with the framwork too much but seems to work.
I guess the only thing missing is a custom recovery. Any insight on that anybody?
BTW, towel root was the easiest root ever. One click app. No hooking up to a computer.

I wonder if LG threw in an encrypted boot loader on the tabs. Also I couldn't find any information on this but does the G Pad 10.1 support USB OTG? I plan on picking one up within the week and hopefully get a custom recovery going soon after.

Flex multi window mod
I got one and i rooted it with towelroot with no problem. Even installed flex multi window app and works fine. The only problem is that it doesn't support NTFS usb sticks. I don't have any FAT32 right now to try but i'll search if it's possible to add NTFS support.
coming soon my 7.0 !!
Can someone please see if you can enable Chromecast's screen mirroring after rooting the 10.1 by using the Mirror Enabler app?
I greatly appreciate it.
I just got the gpad 7.0 from att with the G3 bundle for 99cents. Im trying to decide if I want to keep it or return. The screen quality isn't all that great. I also couldn't root it with towelroot as it says its not supported. I wish there were more activity in the forums for the g pads too.
Update: I was able to successfully root the G Pad 7.0 At&t version using purpledrake. LG-V410
I got my mom a like new g pad 7.0 off ebay for nice price but didn't realize it's the At&T version. We are just going to use it with Wi-Fi. That shouldn't be a problem right?
also, is there a way to stop the pad from asking for sim card besides turning on airplane mode? thank you
Will the Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Retail see root by March 1, 2015? Wanted to see what you guys think in a poll.
There are threads where this should go.
There are people messing around with getting root, but nothing real serious. Unfortunately, the Verizon retail Note 4 isn't likely to ever get root, certainly not by March. No chance.
There's a radio button for that

Are there android phones in the past or current that has never seen root access?
The only thing I use root for is Titanium Backup so I can freeze bloatware. That is about it, but I have enough memory and quite frankly the stock works very well for me.

This was actually my motivation for starting this thread. It seems like it's heating up a bit over there and I was wondering if that had changed anyone's opinion from the first "Root Poll" thread started a while ago. I'm certainly more optimistic after seeing all of the activity. On the other hand history does seem to shoe that the big advances seem to come from people who have been silently waiting in the wings.
Yea it has been a while since I put up that root poll. It's since died out which is understandable.
My point of view is (and yes I voted) lol
I don't believe well see root in this device! I fear that this is the way it's going to be for most new devices rolling out from here on out. Unless you purchase a dev edition.
To me. The phone runs very well! Use the blocking script and u can free up some ram. Otherwise the only things Im missing the most is cleaning up the notification bar and TiBu. Otherwise I'm happy!
Course this is just my opinion.
Carry on

Not gonna happen
Not going to happen. Saving for iPhone 6 plus were jailbreak works no matter what carrier. Maybe the m8. Does the m8 have root on verizon even? It's going to take me a while to save 800 bucks, maybe we will get lucky. Stock would not be bad, but suckwiz is killing me.
I've been optimistic for those on the note 4 verizon version, unfortunatley the sad truth is, its either going to never come to note 4 or will be almost a year till root is achieved. I'm going to be staying with my note 3 for a long time. Possibly forever, until note edge/edge 2 note 5 gets root and custom recovery. Just my opinion, I'm cheering you guys on, it's hard without dev support. Once the dev support get's tripled than might have a better chance. But till then, your gonna have to wait it out. Best of luck and I'm rooting for your guys
I am not optimistic. I suppose it is the DE edition for the N5 or off to another manufacturer whose phone can be rooted.
Can't really put the blame on the manufacturer. I understand that tmobile variant of the Note 4 can be rooted. It's a carrier thing. Maybe Samsung just has a more secure method. But it's only there because Verizon wants it there.

You wouldn't like to be able to write to sdcard using any method of your choice?
Nope. MLB at Bat app. If I want to watch my home team I can't be in the tv/radio "broadcast territory" of either of the teams playing. On my previous phone I used "FakeGPS". Apk has to be copied to "/system/priv-app" in order to work with "Allow Mock Locations" turned off... MLB at Bat app knows if Allow Mock is turned on.
And maybe it was PEBKAC but I'm pretty sure I tried renaming a picture on my SD Card and was denied. Insanity.

Yes, it's legit. The directions are all in the dev section.
BTW, this is only for unlocked bootloaders. ATT and VZW just move along....nothing to see here.
You need to flash twrp and a custom kernel and then download supersu from the play store. Enjoy.
You can oem unlock(boatloader unlock) the T-Mobile version in dev settings and when turning it on it gives notice that protection features will not work when turned on. So guessing that yes it does disable Knox. Also guessing the OP rooted using a common root method and unlocking the boatloader

Now that we have root are a lot of you going to root it? If so, why? I usually root my phones to tweak them to get the best battery life and performance with custom kernels and roms and apps like greenify. But the phone performs great and the battery life is great after debloating. I guess we'll have to see what the developers come up with but I'm loving life so far without root for the first time in a long time.

Not recommended for locked bootloaders, of which all US carrier versions are
The root situation right now is pretty much in Samsung/Verizon's hands. Our Verizon variants have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, the only root or twrp solutions right now are for exynos. Not only that but our bootloader is locked (currently no official way to unlock like HTC dev equivalent or something) and even worse (for prospects of rooting that is), Samsung utilizes Qualcomms secure boot and dm-verity. So any unsigned images won't be accepted and even if they are, dm-verity would make it so that any changes on the /system partition would boot loop your device. Seems like the only way we'll get root is if Verizon presses on Samsung (like T-Mobile is rumored to be doing) to get some sort of HTC dev type unlock program going.
I had Note 4 on Verizon for a year since release and it never got root. Im pretty sure it's still unrootable device.
I'm guessing this will be the case here.
Maybe there are devs working on this to exploit our phone: http://www.engadget.com/2016/03/22/google-warns-of-android-root-exploit/
Unless this is what we just got the security patch for.

Foxfi works great with unlimited on S7E.
I'm sure you can always root Verizon version of the GS7 but no doubt you won't be able to flash any rooms on the device (just like in the past). But touchwiz has been slimmed down and a hell of alot less bloatware. Even with my past Verizon phonestore I never really found the need for a new ROM (although it would have sped up the phones quite a bit) but I found that just having root access is perfect, especially now a day's with the higher specs and reliability of Samsung devices. I wonder if SuperSU or KingRoot will work, they are the best one step rooting process without a pc.

SuperSU isn't a rooting meathod that works without a custom recovery, so no it won't work.
KingRoot users specific vulnerabilities that have been patched, so no it won't work either.
Error will be impossible without finding a way to get rid of dm-verify, which the only way to do that right now is a repacked kernel, which is not flashable because secure boot prevents unsigned flashing.

I've tried it but nothing. When it's about done it stops and says failed to root.
Hi I was just wondering if someone has the update build K88V1.0.0B28, my tablet has K88V1.0.0B09 and will not update over the air, I got this tablet on ebay.
Thanks
Has anyone been able to find Windows drivers for this tablet? I'm trying to use the debloater tool & I cannot get it work. I believe it's because Windows cannot find drivers. I'm using Windows 7.
Has there been any progress on rooting this tablet?

I've looked everywhere online and couldn't find anyway yet. I even tried emailing ZTE just in case they would help.
I'd settle for parts...
heck, has anyone been able to even locate parts for these things? A lot have hit the market third party in the last month or so. I would assume that those can't be handled under AT&T warranty even though the model was only released last fall. But the only parts I can find appear to be from people who have done tear downs and are parting out other tablets. Trying to find a replacement touch screen seems to be just shy of impossible. either that or my Google Fu is just off today. I found one online store that seems to have every part except the touch screens. And trying to search for parts for the k88 and not get search results for the 9020a is a bit of a chore.
I'm at least happy it's immediately unlockable. $60 from the third-party seller plus a FreedomPop SIM card makes this a pretty decent cheap tablet. Assuming the Screen Works that is
Zte trek 2 HD = Zte MAVEN.

I following the instruction on how to root the ZTE Maven and it did not work. I figured it wouldn't but tried anyways. The ZTE Maven is a completely different device altogether. I tried rooting the device both the normal way and in FTM (Factory Test Mode) and got no results. I tied with both King root and SRSoot. SRSroot even posted on their twitter account somewhere that they rooted the K88 but that's a bunch of b.s. or it's a different K88... Anyways I tried and failed, I hold my head low in defeat and shame... lol
A seller on ebay has sold thousands of these lately. Hopefully only a matter of time till a root and possible ROMS come along where we can use them as standard phones on any network.. I bought 2 of them at 55.00

? There is no same in trying though.
I really really want to root this tablet. It has great potential and the stereo speakers awesome. I want to be able to get rid of all the bloatware and maybe use a messenger with it. I'll keep searching maybe I'll get lucky one of these days. Has anyone unlocked the bootloader?
Anyone find a way to root this yet?
Note: When I click the Phone app, a screen for AT&T Numbersync comes up. If I click OK, a logon for My AT&T comes up. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there anyway to get the phone app with dial pad to open instead? Thanks
Chiming in to help make it known that people want to be able to root this tablet.
