No, it won't work. See the below thread for current progress on CM7 on the T-Bolt.

It's not ready yet, people are working on it, chill out.
A) This the wrong section for this question and B) this questions has been addressed multiple times.
@scottricketts: why dont you "chill out" yourself? huh?
i ask simple question, if this is bothering you go "chill" somewhere else...
@failsaf3: ok, sorry for posting at wrong place (i'm new here), i'm not on this forum 24/7 to see if question was address multiple times.
i guess if someone is working on it, then i'll just wait till its all done ;p
Everyone just needs to RELAX
i'm relaxed, i just dont like getting this kind of tone with "chill out" from someone... if failsaf3 said it was address multiple times and that i post at wrong forum, so i'll accept that since what i did is wrong and i've been corrected in professional way.

He may have been harsh, but you have to understand that this question is brought up on a regular basis. Your question could have been google'd and answered, or you could have used the search feature on this site to get your answer. Answering the same question over and over again and having the forum clogged with the same question gets very irritating. Like previously mentioned, there is a thread in general that is dedicated to keeping us updated on when it's released.

Click on your phone info.
Write down the last 3 digits if your build version.
If it is MJ7 enjoy your Samsung iphone or take the risk of Chinese infiltration with vroot.
If its anything else, type go to GOOGLE.COM and type in those 3 letters followed by the word "Root".
Good luck!
Doesn't get much simpler than that.. :sly:
Verizon Galaxy S4
# MJ7 #
ALL Knoxed Up!
Ok So my build version is MJ7.
Is it unlockable through the ROM/software here on XDA or any other reliable ROM/sofware?
Please can you guys list the instructions or a link that tells me A to Z what to do. Thanks!

You can't root using a reliable technique, and even if you root you can't install custom ROMs at the moment. Safestrap may eventually become possible.

Just to make sure, this S4 MJ7 Verizon cant be unlocked to run on Tmobile using a reliable method?
Sorry for acting like a total newb. And many thanks.
I have MJ7 also and I've looked at root alternatives and it's risky at best. Let me know if you find a less risky way.

The I545 is not simlocked, which means that you can run any carrier's SIM. There are SEVERAL threads here that explain what you need to do to run an I545 on T-Mobile. Unfortunately, the search function is broken yet again, but there is NO excuse for starting another thread on a topic that has been covered several times before.
I know, you can't tell, but this is a very frequently asked and answered question.

Nope i tried tmobile sim doesnt work
I love this website, but I still haven't used it once because I search through threads always find answers like this. Its truly amazing how the website owners have sections for different versions and different hardware. But constant trolling by veteran users is common.
This(android) is an open source project but that doesnt mean every one here knows what people are talking about. I get discouraged posts like the one above^^. I have been using android since it came out on G1 and still havent rooted any of my devices YET. This time I actually thought I would but you know what **** this.
Anyways last attempt? Can my device be RELIABLY(trusted) carrier unlocked so I can use it on Tmobile. Thanks.
Also is there a thread where I can lookup jargon/lingo/acronyms specific to this site/genre? Link please.

Perhaps you could post on one of the T-Mobile threads here and explain what "doesn't work" means, as they may be able to help you.
Non-Verizon SIMs work for me, but I'm not using a SIM from some other US carrier.

By the way, the forums are seperated by device and carrier because that's how the software works, it's different per device and the carrier that device uses. This is a site for developers.

Sorry if you thinking this is "trolling by a veteran user".
First, you need to understand: the i545 is not SIM locked. Any SIM will work.
However, there's some question as to whether or not that SIM will allow other US carriers to work. Mine works with a SIM that gives me AT&T data. (It's from a European carrier.)
Here's how you can answer your question. First, look at the top of this window.
There's a box on the top reading "Search this forum".
I entered "tmobile" there, then got the following threads:

Sorry. Hit send too early..
Basic steps are to get a sim.
Then go and see if it picked ip the APN settings. If not you should be able to create a new APN and put in the values manually. Search on xda for the values
Finally. Theres a thread in xda that explains how to download a phone info app. Which will allow you to set the phone radio to LTE/GSM.
last thing you want to check is that you can do wifi, sms, mms, voice mail, etc.

A lot of people do make things for themselves, I run my own crappy builds all the time as I'm learning. Of course the more experienced developers release stable work for the public. Regardless, the purpose of the site isn't to release software for the "everyday android user".
It's about the journey not the end result.
I really can't explain the purpose of this site any better than this post by Kyphur:
"I think what a lot of people forget is that this is not a "make my phone neat & kewl" place.
As implied by the name this is technically a Developers forum/community.
Now what does that mean? Well first off it means that there is an expectation that if you are here then you want to customize your device but rather than just installing something that someone packaged you want to understand how it works and maybe even enhance it yourself.
When I first came here with a Blue Angel it was a different environment. PDA Phones were not embraced by the general public because of the expense and complexity (I paid over $400 for my BA). A $400 phone 4 years ago was expensive, today the Tilt is $300 after rebates but with inflation & the rise in the cost of other devices and the fact that there are other sources out there giving them away for $150 our neat bit of kit has become popular with mainstream users.
Now we have a flood of new users who are asking not "How can I do this myself" but more like "Give me the quick fix" without caring to understand the process. See if you read the threads then you get to experience the learning process, you see how the issues were investigated and confirmed. Then you get to watch the different attempts at resolution and learn why some failed while others worked. That is called Development.
The NooB backlash is coming from users who have walked in the development shoes and is directed mainly at those who don't care for the journey but just want the end result or destination.
As a Development Forum we are just as much (if not more) about the journey. I've read so many comments like "I don't have time to read all of the threads" or "I don't care how it works, just that it does". These very statements are contrary to the heart & soul of XDA-Devs and that is why the backlash is so strong.
Let me be very clear on this: IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE JOURNEY THEN YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
XDA-Devs is about developers & hackers helping each other and working together to get the most out of our devices by understanding them better than most.
XDA-Devs is not about helping everyone who wants a "Kewl bit of kit" make their phone better than the guy next to him.
Now do we go kicking users off who never contribute anything, NO. We tolerate it to an extent. Where the toleration ends is when these users start diluting the usefulness of the forum by repeating the same questions over and over again.
You ask us to understand your position. Well if you want to benefit from our experience and time then I think it is only fair that you understand our position."

I ddnt mean to be like rude or anything guys. So sorry for acting like that.
Now honestly i Google about android rooting/self installin the new version and XDA comes up all the time, so I've known about website long time ago and I see that there are like 100s of posts a minute mostly by total newbs. I'm newbie to android and XDA but like actually do wanna learn this stuff. Thats why I even asked if there are threads/links to where I can brush up beginner stuff so I then if I stll have any issues I can ask the question in a technical manner or even understand different threads that have already answered the question(s) that I have.
As for developer part you guys are programmers and hackers and its your hobby and its pretty cool you do this stuff on daily basis, but for me that is too far ahead.
Now I have another device unlocked NExus S i got from tmobile back in 2011, I wanna update it to latest OS KitKat. I will now look up XDA all over myself, let you know how it goes.:laugh: Hopefully it will work out.
Thanks again.
EDIT: P.S. the first day i posted search wasnt working. Or maybe I ddnt search the right sections. I'll do XDA search through Google now

I didn't think you were being a rude, but I just thought I would share with you post that explains the purpose of XDA very well. It might seem harsh because it's out of context & was originally directed at some a$$hole.
We were all newbs here, I'm no programmer I just like learning code because I like learning how all of this stuff works. I'm glad you want to start learning to. All I did in the beginning was google search "rooting" and a bunch of write-ups & video's came up that taught me a lot.
I think this all falls under off topic this is really not the place for senior members to try b!+ch slap junior members, staying on topic is how this site operates
hello guys,
I've read around that a knew ROM has been developed for our devices but if anyone can get a download link it would help a lot cause the site is in Chinese and i think i have to be registered there to see the links.

hello is anyone there??
So register on the site yourself & use one of the many translation tools that are readily available for everyone to use these days. A native Chinese speaker reading your thread & doing what you're asking (which you're easily able to do yourself with a bit of initiative/work) may never happen. It hasn't happened in 3 days, I'll lay London to a brick it won't happen if you're still here bumping this thread in a month.
I know what I'd be doing if I were you (but you won't you'll sit here forever bumping this thread waiting for something that will never happen to happen).

if i'm asking for help it means that i need it. i used the translation tool in the site but the translated text is a bit confusing. i would write directly to the post i saw the ROM in xda but i don't have enough credits to write there so that's why i'm asking here and your irony wasn't so helpful.
anyhow thanks for spending your time answering me.
So someone said that if your device dies it can still be detected by adb or something , could someone explain those steps or add in something else I can do to save this kindle.
Heres how I got it bricked.
I changed my build.prop and I forgot to set the permissions to 644, then after shutting down my kindle, it did nothing but pop up to the gray screen and then straight to the black screen.
Same here, but mine seems to have lost root in the process: when I try to mount and chmod through adb, I get "Operation not permitted" and "read-only file system".

Well the last link that I pasted work for me and it has helped at least six other people get their ADB working again if you would read all the other brick threads I have helped several people . My thanks meter didn't go from 5 to 48 in a week just because of the rants I have been a member here for a couple of years now and I never posted anything until the last few months no questions no threads all I did was read read read and I have solved all my problems. And I am no developer a simple mechanic. I currently own three HDX, 2, 7 inch 1 8.9 one S4 still on MdK bootloader running KitKat a Tab a 3 10.1 a tab 3 7.0 a Moto razr m with a unlock bootloader that was done a year ago and a note 10.0 all of them rooted and custom and those are just me and my girls devices not including the children's there are also both tab 2 7.0 and NO BRICKS ( currently of course) not one time have I started a thread. Or even thought adout it with a question that has been answered or at least asked in several other threads. Before doing my own homework and my own research. I did not type my first word on this forum until last few months. So excuse me if I believe a person is responsible for doing their own homework and their own research before asking others of their free time to come rescue me. The only thing that doesn't work here apparently is the comprehension level. And the refusal or inability to follow directions. And the wishes for a 1 click answer which currently is not available for this device. Happy hunting ..... I didnt find all this links " that don't work " by not doing my own research.

So let's complicate the already difficult feet in finding information on this forum by burying them under repeat threads that info and clarity are patchy at best because anybody that can help is trying to be everywhere at the same time...end rant

Well the last link that I pasted work for me and it has helped at least six other people get their ADB working again if you would read all the other brick threads I have helped several people . My thanks meter didn't go from 5 to 48 in a week just because of the rants I have been a member here for a couple of years now and I never posted anything until the last few months no questions no threads all I did was read read read and I have solved all my problems. And I am no developer a simple mechanic. I currently own three HDX, 2, 7 inch 1 8.9 one S4 still on MdK bootloader running KitKat a Tab a 3 10.1 a tab 3 7.0 a Moto razr m with a unlock bootloader that was done a year ago and a note 10.0 all of them rooted and custom and those are just me and my girls devices not including the children's there are also both tab 2 7.0 and NO BRICKS ( currently of course) not one time have I started a thread. Or even thought adout it with a question that has been answered or at least asked in several other threads. Before doing my own homework and my own research. I did not type my first word on this forum until last few months. So excuse me if I believe a person is responsible for doing their own homework and their own research before asking others of their free time to come rescue me. The only thing that doesn't work here apparently is the comprehension level. And the refusal or inability to follow directions. And the wishes for a 1 click answer which currently is not available for this device. Happy hunting ..... I didnt find all this links " that don't work " by not doing my own research. I was the first person back in the thread u broke ur device in... To successfully follow his original and vague Op...with success and no problems...so like in yo terms whatevea

Please close or delete thread Moderator per first rule of forum poster did not search before post several threads were started before this one with same problem..poster did not follow though to a productive result.. Therefore containing no useful information thank you.
Still having a problem that has not been solved in any other threads, I downloaded the QTSP 9008 driver and still nothing.
Please dont reply unless you have some helpful information
this has turned into something else but rants seem to happen because theres no progress
Calm your tits 's. I said it before and I'll say it again to everyone. Impatience = brick. Patience = knowledge. Don't rush it. Read up on what your doing to your $200+ electronic locked device. If you bricked it Amazon can unbrick it so return it. They don't lose a dime. If we're unlocked we will have more to offer but as of now it is how it is.:fingers-crossed:
help

The Amazon site go to Kindle troubleshooting and it will show a place to leave your phone number if you would like them to call you they call you you answer you tell him it will not boot correctly and they will send you a refurbished unit. That is of course as long as it is not a black listed unit and you are the original purchaser so on and etc. or just be patient since you are the one that messed up your unit and do the responsible thing by fixing it yourself technically I would believe this would be a false warranty claim but do it at your own choosing and by the way they are making tons of project progress in the recovery of this device hopefully we will have something very very soon and you if you are still on the old firmware you may even get a full bootloader unlock.. Good luck whichever direction you do choose to go. just remember and heed the warnings on your next new device so you don't end in the same situation immediately like so many others here have done.
This phone is fairly new, i want to root it but i dont know any method that work yet. Is there any developers willing to make a custom recovery for this? Like twrp?
LG Stylo 5 Root availability one click ??
Is root available for the LG Stylo 5 is so full of Boost bloat and Google gunk it barely works.

Technically, this is the web?.
I don't understand why some people seem to get upset when others make topics asking questions. It's not usually general knowledge for most people.
I can't tell you what a bootloader is but I sure as hell can spend all day complaining about them, lol. Literally everyone I know personally has never heard the term.
I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but what's wrong with people making topics before exhausting every other possibility to find the answer. Nothing wrong with conversation and who knows what random and unexpected things you could learn.
Hey, sorry I'm getting the breaks done on my car at the moment. I'm writing this instead of reading old magazines, lol
Chances are, we won't see this phone rooted anytime soon. especially now that the Stylo 6 has arrived. Locked Bootloaders are not your friend if you root phones. Mostly DEVs now only concentrate on the Flagship phones...
...Follow the $$$$ trail...
I sure miss the good old days...LoL 2013-2017 were my favorite years

I never was upset.
My POV:
It's neither the task of anyone here to re-publish (excerpts of ) articles simply created by "copy & paste", nor to do a related Google search and then list the links found, nor to tell the questioner that he/she is completely wrong that he/she is totally confusing things - the latter may be considered as being rude.
N.B.
Wondering why you didn't assist OP, instead of posting that garbage?

Posting "Garbage" ? Nah....that's good stuff right there. As for helping OP, your right. I was off topic, but really it's no big deal. Xda is not flooded with pointless threads. I know they prevent pointless posts and topics.....but a few never hurt as long as it's Android related.
OP, it's a shame but don't get your hopes up for ever rooting the Stylo 5 (Damn Bootloaders!). There is still adb though. I bet it's not long before that is gone to. You can get rid of bloatware and do some other cool stuff with it. If you need help with getting it running on a PC you can simply search it on Xda, or even pm me.
But for the love of God and all that is Holy!.......Do not make a thread asking about it!?.
I don't even bother using Google when it comes to Android. The good people on Xda are the only ones I know will be helpful and honest.....That and most likely Google would just get me here anyways, lol.
Again, sorry. I don't mean to be a jerk if I sounded like one at anytime in this novel. I didn't intend to write so much when I started, lol it seems to happen a lot though. There ya go some more good stuff.
The End!
Bottom-line answer is...
Hi,
Sadly after several hours' search, GInMF. Yes, I found several "Root your LG Stylo 5" with 25 different methods posts, NONE of which seem to work. I think most of them are thinly disguised ways to get gullible people to part with their money. The problem that I mostly encountered is, somewhere along the line, they just say "install TWRP recovery"...ignoring the fact that this phone model DOES NOT have one on the TWRP device page. So, the specific question, again, becomes: is there any way to root this phone, even if I'm happy with the stock image?. If any of the XDA experts on this thread know of one, PLEASE point me to it. If there isn't one, pls state that so I can put this effort to rest, either way. Thank you!

bud ive been trying to find a way for a while now. i was 6 months into it before asking and still at it. not giving up hope that someone might find a way. im no noob at rooting, but it seems the newer phones are harder and harder to root.

I remember when the original Atrix dropped first phone with a dual cpre processor. I was a kid in a candy shot holy he'll. The yesrs devs spent on that phone even after th3 other flags came out was astonishing. Miss the clunky ****er.
not only that, but I have tried some of the other websites ... Bricks now I only use XDA for my questions like this... Currently I am shopping for a new phone, I have the Stylo 3 still but it's on its last leg.
It's been a good time but damn it I Was hoping to get a Stylo 7

Technically there is a TWRP image for LG Stylo 5, however it should be noted that it is an unofficial TWRP image and should be done with the utmost delicacy. As to the whole rooting your phone thing, of course you can. Let me be a little more specific on that though. You cannot root an android if it's newer than 6 months (sadly for all you "tech nerds/junkies" you are all wrong when it comes to whether or not you can root certain phones). I know this for a fact. However I can tell you one thing for absolute sureness. I wouldn't waste the time or money trying to root an LG Stylo 5 when you can get cheaper phones (that run Android 11 and higher) at Walmart. And just so everyone knows, there's no need to root a phone with Android 11 and higher because of the fact that you can use LADB to uninstall system applications and bloat ware. But let me warn you as I've come across this myself and done it as well, but there are certain brands like Alcatel that won't allow you to uninstall the bloat ware, but you can still disable it using ADB commands. Lastly, if you get a phone with Android 11 and higher, DO NOT UNINSTALL anything with com.android, com.sec.android, or anything along those lines because it WILL cause the phone to go into a permanent boot loop at which you'll have to factory reset the phone using the recovery mode.
