Any information on rooting the Samsung Conquer 4G released by Sprint recently? I'm planning on picking one up this week as soon as the return of my broken MoPho is processed and I'd like to root it as soon as I get it..
I would be interested in this also, might finally convince my wife to ditch her palm pre for this little device
i've got one on the way, if anyone needs a hand testing anything. root would be awesome! it's a nice little device.
I'm on day 2 with a new Conquer - would love to see someone post a way to root it.
I am hoping to find a Root method for this guy also, here is the review i posted about it for my wife.
Conquer 4G Review
i've tried a lot of the general root methods, even tried just doing some experimentation, no dice. 2.3.4 might be a mofo to crack, but you'd think with source being released, someone would come up with a way.
2.3.4 has been rooted on the Motorola Photon 4g (MoPho) so doing it on the conquer should be no problem. I'd do it myself but I have no idea how.
Damn, this does not bode well. Was thinking about going with this phone over an HTC Evo Shift 4G since it has a faster processor and more RAM, but the lack of root and the apparent lack of interest in community support makes me lean the other way.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
will the z4 root app work
has anyone tried it because i get mine tomorrow and im plan on trying
no not tried yet i also need to know about it ???????
br
Still no root that i can find, ive tried all known methods with no success.
Can't seem to find anyone doing anything to this phone.
Any news from anywhere?
Is there any news from anywhere? Concerning this phone.
I would love to get my conquer rooted. Willing to test anything devs can come up with.

Have been reading any and all Rooting Posts and I have come to the conclusion that as of now, Most, if not all of the Rooting techniques are a shot in the dark.
If there is one good way that is reliable and doesn't screw up one thing or another than I have not seen it.
Example......Superoneclick....works on one phone but not the next....Roms....need more fixes to get to work than Microsoft.....
Tell me is there a proven way to unlock the bootloader, Root the phone and get Gingerbread to work fully ?
I may be new to this site and believe me I would love to have a open phone....But I have other things to do than F around trying to get a already KickAss phone to work.....Just saying....

There are lots of tutorials in the Development forum on how to do this.
I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT preinstall method is the one IS SAFE and FUNCTIONAL

you need to do more reading, no one uses superoneclick for the atrix... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1165791
Read the stickies..
Have you ever opened the android dev section?
Almost everything is in the sticky thread of clown.. With faqs guides etc..
Unlock your bootloader depending what atrix you have(att or international), then install the tenfars port of CWM4, and then you can root using the CWM root method..

To build on your Microsoft comment...............Some software is not compatible with all versions of Windows. The Atrix came out with Windows 95, has made it to XP, and with GB will be Windows 7. If you are not happy with the devs work, what they have done for everyone, and can't filter through the threads to get what you want, maybe you should get an iPhone and stick Cydia on it!......Or get a Windows phone because you won't have to "fix" anything on it!
If you want help, then you have started out the wrong way. Your post needs to be objective, and not flaming all the work others have done because you can't implement any of it, and are confused.
Root, ROM's, etc., do not need a bunch of fixes............you just have to READ so you know which ones work together for what you want. If you had actually taken the time, you would know that the bootloader has been unlocked, root is working, and GB is awesome. You just have to check the instructions for what you want on your Atrix, whether it be AT&T, Orange, Bell, etc.
Personally, I am on an AT&T Atrix 4G with unlocked bootloader, rooted, with GB 4.5.91, and have absolutely no complaints ot problems!
Since you don't want to F around, watch that door................it's heavy and swings closed fast.........wouldn't want it to hit you between the buttocks on the way out!
Bell ATRIX, unlocked bootloader, rooted, running 2.3.4. No problems

Thanks for the post, gave me a nice lol. I lol'd.
So after seeing the specs on the ET4G, to say I was a bit underwhelmed is putting it mildly. First, let me apologize up front for being a noob, although I am trying to learn so I can "pay for my supper" (if you will). The one thing I like about the Epic is how easy it is to root and install custom ROM/Kernel (currently running the SFR 1.2 with Genocide kernel). Most of my apps require root access, which leads to my question. Basically, for someone who has never had a Moto phone, how easy (if you are a noob) would you say it is to root the phone? And if you came from an Epic, say compared to rooting the Epic (using ODIN and One Click)? I understand there are more than a couple of posts on rooting for the Photon, but from a "noob" perspective, that can seem overwhelming, I don't wanna pick the wrong way and frack my phone right out of the box. Thanks folks!
One click pretty easy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217416
For the rest is pretty easy. Roms and such will come with time phone is still pretty new source code was just released. Rsd is just ad simple to use as odin.

Thanks for the link, much appreciated.
First time owning an android phone. Had a BB before this. Purchased photon a couple day ago and rooted my phone on first try. If I can do it anyone can.
I had to upgrade my cell phone at Verizon yesterday and they talked me into getting a smartphone, so I got the newly released Pantech Breakout. It runs Gingerbread 2.3.3 and I was wondering can it be rooted? Has it been rooted? If it's not been rooted yet by someone, are there any chances that it will be since it's a low to middle-end phone? I tried Gingerbreak on it and left it running all night and all it did was stay stuck on the Rooting screen.
I need it rooted so I can replace the wpa_supplicant file and be able to connect to my ad-hoc network here at home.
Thanks for any help.
I'm curious too. Everything I've read says it can't be (yet). But I'm still searching. So far gingerbreak and superoneclick don't work =/
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Bump! Also, are there plans to have a dedicated sub-forum for this device?
Thanks
Thanks for the replies all.
@ lucf Sorry for posting in the wrong forum. I'm new here and there are so many categories.
Does anybody else have this phone? If so what do you think about it? I think it's pretty awesome minus no flash and slower processor.
Yeah.....any luck with the root?
I am using right now. Not sure about root, being that I will only have it for a week or so.. its pretty nice and $49 on contract at bby isn't bad.. I am pretty sute the processor is the same as the thunderbolt processor.. the ram is less however.

No luck with the root yet, hoping someone will figure out how to do it soon, haha. I don't even know where to start or I'd look into it myself.
Did u guys know that this phone will do data and voice at the same time. Even on straight 3g.??
Sent from my ADR8995 using XDA App
I'm getting this phone sometime next week. I hope it becomes popular enough that somebody might try for root on it. Every where I look more and more people are picking this phone up for cheap LTE.
When I get it I'll see what I can do, but this may require a whole new root method.
I hope to see root soon! I am sick and effing tired of seeing my wife futz with the stupid system apps autoupdating themselves and taking up precious app memory!

I have had the phone for a few days now and love it for the most part. You are right though, you have to make sure you move new apps to SD or the mem fills up fast.
I got it for free through TigerDirect, so I am not complaining too much. lol.
I keep 4g turned off unless I am surfing or using the Market etc and that VASTLY helps the battery life. Also loaded Launcher Pro to get rid of the stock UI.
All things considered, I think this is a good little phone for the price. Rooting would REALLY let it shine though, IMO.

this section on xda for electrify/ photon is just about dead now. this Pisces used to be very active but now seems like everyone left. .... where did you guys go? just in the last few weeks this place went from a very active community to barely there.. .... massage someone should just start an electrify section and just post what ever works for electrify from photon there..... sure sprint gave the photon an eol but it is still an awesome phone! and us cellular still had their rebadged version for sale now.... so as i said. .. where did you all go? i miss you all.

Even knowing this, won't let me go away from Motorola.
After a month using Galaxy Nexus, I decided that Photon is better for me.
I'm still here, not for long, but I'm still here. Others check in here and there, but its getting far and few! as stated, 2.3.5, locked, bootloader!
Not to mention, HTC EVO 4G LTE, SGIII, AT&T Note........And why should I wait "Years" to get LTE (if years) when I can have it now?
nice to know I'm not the only one still here i love my electrify and I'm surprised more aren't working on locked bootloader. if i had any know how i would dedicate all my free time to attempting unlock. i have played with other phones and i love my electrify. only thing that would replace it at the moment would be a droid razr esque phone or a droid4 esque phone our the rumored photon q. .... if only my electrify could have ics..... dang bootloader
#ICS-lessMotorolaElectrify, ThanksMotorolaForYourIgnorance
I'm glad I'm not the only one still here. i love my electrify. if only it had ics. ive played with other phones and love my electrify. only thing that would replace it would be a droid razr esque phone, a droid 4 esque phone(i do miss my qwerty keyboard), our the rumoured photon q, if any of those come to u.s. cellular. if i had any know how, i would dedicate all my time to attempting to unlock bootloader.

Yeah it feels like recently we're waiting for a new breakthrough or kernel source to appear, I think that would give the forums a kick in the butt.
But there has been some excitement over GSM finally being unlocked for use in the U.S. on the Photon, which is pretty awesome!

Me, too. Love my MoPho. I'm rooted,locked, and surviving quite nicely. The MoPho has allowed me to keep my rootaholic addiction under control. Hanging out here is like being in a bar and just drinking club soda. You can still be with your friends; just don't get the same buzz.
I've been here for a while, I'm not used to comment on threads so often, but I'm always reading new threads and the developers section stuff.
Well, I've had this phone for a couple of months, and I'm satisfied with it. My phone came rooted, I fixed the multitouch thing, changed the bootanimation and I can't wait to unlock it and try the Kitchen Sink rom
Im gonna be here pretty frequently as well

Link provided above. Btw xda search sucks. The best way to find anything on xda is to search it in Google. For example, for your 8 point mod I searched, "8 point mod, photon, xda" and it was the first link. Anytime I need to find something on xda I always search Google for it and it has always been within the first couple links

I have been trying to find a root method that will work on my AT&T LG G Vista 2 H740. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
Yeah this affordable and very capable device seems to have been overlooked. It runs 5.1.1 and would be an awesome root and ROM project.
Bump
Anything yet? I received my lg g vista 2 in the mail and was excited to go on xda to root it. Nothing yet?
I believe I've found a couple exploits that I could take advantage of. I'll update every couple days or so on my progress. I've been messing around on my Vista 2 and it seems like a fun and simple enough project. I'll be back with updates!

Thank you! I'm mostly dying to root so I can tether wifi to my 2yr olds tablet. When we're in the car it's a lifesaver! :good:
Sesrch google for "Kingroot apk"
Bump on this thread. Nobody is noticing because nobody cares about this handset. This unit is most likely exploitable by anything that works on the G3. I am desperate to get root because I am sick of the random reboots. Any brave souls want to try the G3 exploits?
I'm going to necro this because I think plenty of people still want to see a root method for this phone.
Guys I have a question. What is the code you put in the dialer for the hidden menu? I know this thing is very capable but at the moment my LG G2 beat this thing out of the water. even though this thing has better specs than the G2,why is it lagging so much? any help would be appreciated as I just got this and if it is a POS, I can return it within 12 days regards, ~Sky
I'm gonna refer to earlier suggestion to try kingroot.
It will likely work in rooting the Vista 2.
Believe it or not, kingroot didn't work :/ I tried it like 3 times and they all fail
I've tried King Root multiple times without any luck. I really wish someone would find an exploit for this phone. If you could clean all the bloatware off, it would help it out tremendously. And without thinking the other day, I installed the Marshmallow update, so I'm sure it's going to take a little while to find an exploit for it.
Yes I'm hoping someone comes up with an exploit soon. I really want this phone to have a cpu control app because I know it has the potential to be fast but the cpu won't allow it. Also I'd really like to have the lucky patcher work. If ANYONE has an exploit, please post it here. How do we get this thread more noticed on XDA?
I will pay money for Root and Cyanogen Mod-G Vista 2
Currently using the AT&T LG G Vista 2 and the phone would be fantastic with Cyanogen Mod so anyone want to take this on and I will send you via PayPal $50.00 to get it rooted and working with Cyanogen Mod. Anyone else care to add to that so we can make it worthwhile for a good DEV???

We're you ever successful in any of the exploits you tried to root the LG G Vista 2? I'm just wondering because I have been looking for almost a month for ANYTHING on the subject only to have no luck.
Kingroot, as well as Kingo root, iRoot, One-Click Root, root genius, and any of the other One-Click apk's, as well as their companion PC Software's, do NOT thus far. And if anyone knows where to get the original firmware of the LG G Vista 2, which is the Android 5.1.1 version, it would be greatly appreciated! I have searched hi and low, and have yet to find it.

Has anyone tried the G3 exploits yet? I'd be interested to know if it works.
I cannot find the firmware either, and if anyone knows how to root it, I would love it :3 I'm literally putting my G Vista 2 aside because it's useless without root tbh. I'm on my G2 with CM but it's falling apart -_- so yeah
