Is there any new hopes for rooting updated N900V (lollipop)?
The lollipop update just drains my battery. I miss my old rooted 4.4.2.
Is there a way to rollback and root?
Unrooted SM-N900v 5.0 for international use

The lollipop update just drains my battery. I miss my old rooted 4.4.2.
I am also looking to root my sm-n900v on 5.0 lollipop because I cannot stand the Verizon nonsense clogging up my device. Also, I leave for Europe on the 9th and was hoping to use local sims instead of Verizon international. I was under the impression Note 3 was unlocked for this kind of use, but when trying to use a local sim in Mexico, I was told the phone was locked. Is a rooted phone necessary to switch out and use an international SIM? If so I must scramble to figure out another option as I was hoping to root my device, not understanding this was not possible. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I don't have any experience with this program, and I haven't done much searching on these forums, but maybe have a look at this?

Use at your own risk I guess. Let us know if it works if you do try.

Tried it, doesn't work
I also tried and no success by one click root..
I dont know how they have put that post on their site if it is not working at all..they mentioned it clearly for note3 sm-n900v lollipop.
It is ridiculous to do so..disappointed

I agree. Leading us on but no root.
I'm waiting too
So there is no possible way to root a lollipop Verizon Note 3? That is a bit crazy but the only reason I wanted to root was to remove the pre-installed apps. Please update if anyone has figured out some way. I wish these phones didn't come with all this bloatware. The Samsung apps are fine but Verizon are the ones I'd like to get rid of or at least some of them. Thanks!!

Dead link?
There is no root for the n900v 4.4.4 or later versions, and it doesn't seem anyone is working on one.
At least that was a direct answer! ugh just bummed out now because I was forced to come back to this phone after my other one got a tiny splatter of water on it and freaking DIED.
I really wish someone would

Is the bootloader locked as well? If not can you flash a custom recovery like TWRP?

Nogut can't be rooted using KingoRoot
You have to flash some custom recovery for your device and flash SuperSU using it.

You have Android 7.0 on the LG Stylo 2?
1) How did you get that? I thought it was on 6.x?
2) Why do you want to root? You're already updated.

I'm thinking about buying this phone, did you really get 7.0? That would be awesome! Can you post a screenshot?
I would be happy with Android 7.0 but I'd be happier with root too so I can uninstall the bloatware. Does this phone come with a lot of bloat?

Yes I believe that's the link I looked at a while back. Still using my Stylo 2 unrooted. I find it more enjoyable to use than the iphone 6s my job issued me. It's a good phone. It bugs me that it has 16GB storage and is tight for space. The android OS should be around 5-6GB. That means Cricket and/or LG have a ton of garbage I should be able to remove but cannot. Hopefully a good method becomes available and the Stylo 2 doesn't go forgotten by the rooting community. My next phone will be a Samsung solely because they are more supported in the realm of rooting hacking of the device.
That being said this phone and the carrier (Cricket) has been better than expected. Good luck to you.

Hit up [email protected] he can probably root it and if not he will at least give u control over ur apps storage via TeamViewer over adb like he did mine....it cost me 10$ but it was well worth having 400 apps and 47gb storage and an adoptable sd .....his link Fiverr/SoxxFan90 pm him hes in vacation mode but he has his PC...he was very knowledgeable and had a way to repair my phone had been thing went wrong....I'd give him 4.5****/* stars

You have a root for boost mobile ls775. 7.0 zvb. ?
Isnt any threads on this device.
Figured Id start one.
At first glances. No root. Oem u lock is in dev options. No fastboot does have dl mode. I doubt root will come anytime soon.
I do really like this device. I have averaged 6 to 8 hours of sot time
Been attempting to pull a stock image for restores with lgup and flashtool
So everyone knows the cricket version is downgraded. Only has a 1.4 ghrtz quadcore i stead of the. Octacore. And only 2 gb of ram verus the 3 i see everywhere else.
Camera reminds me of the g2s
Kingo kingroot and all the one clicks dont work. Next will be zeroing the laf to see if i get fastboot. The no root debloater app doesnt work on this device either. So finding root is a must.
Im assuming as owning many lg phones the bootloader is not locked but signed so without the signing key and a modified laf partition to enable fastboot with accepted unlock commands or an engineering bootloader
Unlock will be highly inprobable for some time. Or unless a exploit such as bump or loki or something very similar
Just got this phone 2 days ago and it's pretty snappy and I am quite pleased with it honestly. The fingerprint scanner was the selling point... And price lol. With root this device would be no doubt a beast.

thats funny my finger print scanner has yet to reconize my finger i registered both my pointer fingers twice and still nothing.im a mechanic so my prints are pretty trashed but i tried for like 4 or 5 hours and just switched it back.
all im waiting for is a stock firmware as of rite now no atni roll back is implented or 0. so first firmwares usually is first rooted or moded takes a load of messing with laf and recovery partitions

ive been all over it trying and trying ive started looking into other lg methods with locked bootloaders and nougat
the v20 just got nougat to so hopefully between the g6 and v20 root methods that may come to be we can adapt one to us
sucks the old root injection throws secure bot cause nougatchecks system to see if modified its gonna be mnore of a systemless root from what i see and know
The v20 uses the dirty santa exploit to obtain root.
The LG G6 doesn't have root yet.
If the bootloader is signed, Safestrap is how we got around it on AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 n900a. Still have to have root first tho.
It looks like boost, cricket, T-Mobile, Straight Talk all have the LG Stylo 3 so far. So alot of people will own these because their cheap.
I'd like to get one myself but without root and ROMs no thanks.
Help
Has anyone found a solution to the root of a lg m430 yet???

Please excuse me if this is a silly question. What would running "fastboot oem unlock" do, if anything, to this model? Apparently, unlocking the bootloader on the LG Stylo 3 Plus is this simple (assuming OEM unlock is turned on in dev options, of course). I realize the non-plus model is different, and Cricket's LG-M430 even more so, but has anyone tried running this command and can confirm it doesn't work? I wonder why LG would freely allow the Plus to be unlocked, but not this model...Perhaps Cricket had some say in this?
Also, (another noob question) am I correct in thinking that rooting without first unlocking the bootloader will NOT trigger some unwanted mechanism of the bootloader? From what I've read, a locked bootloader only verifies the integrity of the kernel and recovery, and will not check for "illegal" root access. Are there any built in mechanics that check for root? I ask out of curiosity, as I am aware there are currently no root exploits for this phone. It seems like you all agree unlocking the bootloader is the most logical first step. Is there any benefit to figuring this out first over trying to simply root the device? Thanks in advance. I'm very interested in understanding all this, and am hopeful that I'll be able to somehow contribute in getting this model rooted.

The way that they locked the bootloader prevents you from getting anywhere close to fastboot. LG has this locked down severely.

Hey guys/girls,
I'm gh0st.
I am an amateur/beginner Python 3.x programmer so although I'm not extremely knowledgeable, I can follow along with any kind of instructions you would be gracious enough to share.
My native OS on my main machine if I need to utilize that to manually unlock the bootloader or something like that is: Linux Ubuntu 16.04 (LTS version.)
I'm not sure if that matters but anyway... I am just wondering if anyone has had any success rooting this particular phone or simply rooting LG devices in general? LGE G Stylo 3 aka Model LS-777. The LG Stylo 3 plus from boost has been rooted successful day. However, I can't seem to find a way to unlock the bootloader.
If you could please help me root my LG Stylo 3 I bought from boost, I will pay you no problem if that's what it takes. I will absolutely pay you for your work if you can pull it off. I did buy it as a "Boost" phone so if I'm stuck with Boost, I'm 110% okay with that.
If you can assist me in gaining root access to this LGE LS-777, and Flash some custom roms and stuff like that to it I would be so appreciative. Like I said I'll pay you for your efforts.
Thank you for your help in advance.

I haven't heard anything on it. For some reason LG locked down the bootloader. Without access to fastboot there really isn't any way to get it unlocked if I understand it right. I remember trolling around the f few threads there are, and it seemed like no one was trying anymore.
Great so i just got a phone that i can never debloat

I would think if you search around and find the right info you could modify the bit image somehow. I know when I got the S7 edge right when it came out there was an engineer kernel out and that was the only way. Now chain fire had an auto root for it. I hope you find it. I'm sure the person that does will appreciated by many that's for sure.
Or if it's on your budget I heard that metro PC's is giving the 3 plus as a promo if you Port your existing number over to them. Just have to buy three months of unlimited service and it is 40 a month I believe. After 90b days they will unlock it for any carrier. Not a bad deal

I wouldnt know about king root, but one click root said it was rootable. i just dont have the 40 dollars they wanted to do it
One-click methods do not have the capabilities to root the Stylo 3. Systemless root is the only viable option and requires a modification of the bootchain (/aboot), and then pushing a patched boot image by use of the engineer version of LG-UP. Custom recovery doesn't seem to be an option at this time.
I wouldn't know. I hate how locked the boot loader is though. I'm trying to find a way into it. Currently, you get into factory reset mode by holding either power up or down (I don't remember currently) but you can get into an IMEI/Serial display mode by holding both volume up and down on bootup. I wonder if there are any secrets to be found there?
Bootloader blocked.
I know either cricket or LG blocked bootloader access. But you can get Dev options by tapping the Build Number. Setting>General>About Phone>Software info.
Also idk if this will help, but Nugent does the most peculiar thing when you tap on "Android version" within the same menu. Take a look. I'm not sure if this is like a "Ha,Ha!" From the devs but it definitely had me scratching my dome.

LG-UP is basically a firmware flashing utility which is actually used in LG certified stores and service centers. Very similar to Odin for Samsung devices. Yes the utility installs to a PC or laptop and flashes the firmware to your LG device via a tethered connection (and your device being in Download Mode).
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.

I heard kingoroot has rooted stylo 3 but I haven't tried yet.
Has anyone tried using iroot? Im cautious about using it since i dont want to take the chance of it bricking my phone as its the only thing ive got lol

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
the M430 is a Qualcomm soc https://www.gsmarena.com/lg_stylo_3_plus-8694.php

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.
