[Q] Rooting an LG C800 Mytouch Q on 2.3.6? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to be able to Root an LG c800 Mytouch Q 2.3.6 from tmobile? I got it a long time ago on stock firmware on 2.3.6 and I really want to root it to get a few tweaks etc. I am new to the android scene. So if anyone can tell me how or even if it is possible to even do this. I have been searching around for hours now and cant find a guide/ don't know if it still works. Thanks! :fingers-crossed:

I just rooted my LG c800 Mytouch Q on 2.3.6 from mobile.. it was also on stock.. this is what i did after trying for many hours.. i downloaded superoneclick and ran the shell root.
( you would need to have adb on your computer if you dont know how to do this go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752704&page=25 and start from page one)
Make sure to check USB Debugging on your phone and have the phone drivers installed..if you follow the link above you should be able to get all files that are needed
After running shell root i was stuck on waiting for device i waited for about a minute and nothing happened so i re ran shell root and same thing ocurred but dont worry re running it just made the shell root install.. after it got stuck on waiting on device again i clicked on root and from there my device rebooted and a pop up appeared stating my device is now rooted and if i wanted to check to see if i was rooted i selected ok and SU aka super user was now on my phone.. now my device is rooted and can proceed to install CWM.. if you have any questions PM me..i can walk you threw the process..

[Q] LG G2x rooting failure

I just upgraded to Gingerbread from Froyo. My phone was rooted on Froyo. I am attempting to root my phone using GingerBreak-v1.20.apk downloaded from the site. I followed the instructions. The rooting process seems to freeze up. I let it run for 30 minutes and finally rebooted my phone. The phone IS NOT rooted. None of my root applications work. I have several applications that need rooting. Can anyone help me? I have an LG G2x running Android 2.3.3. Thanks.
mmm try to install clockworkmod and after install cyanogen with the zip .
or if u want only root u could try root by paul ... search on modaco.com
Thanks, I'll give it a try.

[Q] LG Optimus Me p350 rooting problems!!!

Im trying to root my LG Optimus ME p350 but it doesnt work!
When i used Gingerbreak v1.20 it keeps rooting for ever. I open it through ASTRO, as i saw in a tutorial, and when i clicked on root my device it appears the following:
Gingerbreak
Rooting...
Running exploit...
This may take a few minutes!
Device will reboot on success!
and it keeps on, and on, like forever! I've let it for like 30m and nothing!
I also used Universal Androot but when i click on root it saids that there is an failure.
I've also tried Superoneclick but it also keeps forever without anyresults.
In all the actions ive made the usb debugging was check and the unknown decises where also check! I have the 2GB sd card mounted and i just dont know what to do! Everywhere i look the users said that with the gingerbreak everything works on LG OPTIMUS ME P350 but with me... it does NOT!
What firmware do you currentrly have? If it's 10a, then that could be one of the reasons gingerbreak is not working. I had the stock firmware version 10a, couldn't root - then I update the ROM to 10d and Gingerbreak worked perfectly, my phone is now rooted.
sorry for this late reply, hope u reply me. I dont really know where to look for that so i checked the About phone section. The version pf software was LG-P350-V10g. Any other help?
Then if you ROM stock is 10g, I guess it should really work with Gingerbreak. I have version 10d, and it worked wonderfully... maybe you could switch to 10d?
I'm having THE SAME problem (also V10G), what should we do ?!?!? Can anyone please help us...?

Root for ZTE Max Duo? (Z963VL Straight Talk)

So a few months ago I bought my first Android phone in years, a ZTE Max Duo from Straight Talk. Unfortunately, since then I have found absolutely nothing about the phone on forums like this, let alone any way to root it. Has anyone managed to root this phone, and if so, how? I don't have regular access to a PC, but if the only way to root it is through a PC, I might ask for permission to use one.
I am looking for the same with this phone.. It seems like a great piece of hardware thus far bit could use some tweaks that a root could certainly take care of but no info whatsoever.. Any help with this would be great.
I figured out how to root the ZTE max duo (z963vl) via (iroot) I have the exact file and can tell u what to enable for root email me at [email protected] il send the file
Any Success?
It looks like there are a few variants of this device. I have the Imperial Max that is sold on US Cellular. Exact same phone and specs except for the radio.

I would like a copy of that file if you still have it and don't mind sharing it.
Man I've been trying to find any custom ROM or something that can get me to 6.0+ or 7.0+ because I can't deal with 5.1.1
But after searching relentlessly it seems that it doesn't exist.
I've been trying to find a ROM we could port over but that's looking grim too. I made a request over at CM so hopefully someone gracious enough will make one.

KingRoot now roots the phone but the bootloader is still locked!
The ZTE max duo LTE (z963vl) can now be rooted via KingRoot but only temporarily. When you reboot the phone you will lose root. You can not make any system changes either still because the bootloader is still locked after root. You can not update BusyBox either. Also when you root the phone with KingRoot it says "This model restricts root authorization". To fix that error just completely close KingRoot and re-open it and it will fix the root authorization error. Dev's or anyone for that matter please help unlock this phone's bootloader please I really want to start getting custom roms and recovery for this phone plus I want to be able to write to /system. I hope this helps as much as possible and I hope the bootloader will become unlocked with all the Devs help. Also I did this with the apk version of KingRoot only because I do not have a PC.
Great news...

This is a good start... hopefully something comes of this... God I want this phone rooted!!!
Hmmmmm...
So I tried Mardeys method and it did root like he said... installed su superuser and root checker... they worked... busybox wouldn't install... restarted my phone and lost root... so I did it all again then just powered off my phone and started it with power button and volume up... took me to recovery screen with a few options... one being sideload with adb...
I am new at all this so don't know if that helps but would love to get this thing rooted...

Which superuser app are you using? The one by ChainDD just crashes when I run it, and SuperSU keeps saying the binary needs to be updated but fails when I try to do it.

Wall here's what my whole setup was... I ran King root... It said I was rooted but didn't restart my phone... I installed superuser and ran it... This is the one I used... Supersu by chainfire... I installed busy box also but had the same problem about need to update binary files blah blah blah... I then installed a root checker and said I was rooted... Super su was found and busy box... Still no reboot... So I tried installing a few root apps... I installed a app remover for bloat were and it worked... But... When I reboot my phone I lose it all... And can redo it all again but it won't stay on there... Not tech dumb but don't know enough to figure it out... Hopefully that helps you a little as far as what my experience was... Like I said before... If I boot into recovery there is an adb sideboard option so... Just hope it gets figured out soon... Would love to have this rooted with a good room on it.... Starting to think it's a hopeless cause... One more thing to add... While rooted I installed a boot manager to see if it would go into a deeper boot recovery mode at restart but it didn't...
I honestly wish I could swap out Kinguser for something else. SCR ScreenRecorder Pro doesn't seem to realize that there is root, even after granting it permission through Kinguser, which leads me to believe either I'm not actually rooted, or KingUser is garbage.
Does anyone have the firmware for this phone?
No answers? Nothing?
Did you guys try $su reboot disemmcwp in a terminal after rooting? That's always the next step on ZTE phones.
Going to try that now... Can't find a copy of the firmware anywhere however. Worries me in case I need to reflash
I'd like to get this phone rooted too I've only been only to temproot by kingroot

Just tried it myself, but after it's done rebooting, the root's still gone.
Edit: I've noticed that the XDA Labs app seems to think this is a ZTE Blade. Perhaps I might have some luck there?

May someone please help me root an LG Premier LTE?

Hello all! I am currently trying to root an LG Premier LTE
5.1.1 lollipop
Straight talk
Please help me, also thank you very much for your time
I have this phone also and I have searched high and low. At a glance it doesn't look good. I hear people saying things like a locked bootloader and unrootable. I remember the Motorola Atrix 2, and what a nightmare that whole thing was for me and my woman. I'ma give this phone to my daughter. She would love it for a birthday present. If this phone cannot be rooted, and if the bootloader is locked, and nothing comes of this it is useless to me. So if a bootloader is locked does that mean this device is unrootable? Any of you developers thank you for your time in advance, is there such thing as an unrootable Android? If I come up on any information I will post it here on your thread my friend
I'm also looking to root this phone. Hopefully someone will come up with a way. I remember when the Samsung Galaxy J3 came out and it took a while before someone came up with a root method for it. If I find any new information, I will also post it here.
Locked bootloader doesn't mean unrootable. You can root with a rooting app, then before rebooting, use flashify to flash the stock kernel(boot.img)
Ive tried Kingroot and other one click methods. Also tried kingoroot on the pc. All failed. Tried using adb reboot bootloader and it just reboots the phone and adb reboot recovery only gives you the option of factory reset.
Anyone able to root this yet?
Has anyone figured out how yet?
Yes I rooted it

How'd you do it? :fingers-crossed:
Can u please tell us how we can root the LG Premier Lte
Or are u just lying to troll all of us as u can tell it means a great deal to us and lying doesnt make any progression
I have same phone and I have tried everything...........if anyone knows a way post here please and thanks!!
I also have this phone. Would love to root it but none of the above were successful: King Root. Kingo root. Srs root. One Click Root. Stump root. Towelroot. LG one Click. Lol ive tried them all.
Has anyone done anything or had any succuess with this phone? Seems to be a higher priced but lower end phone.... My LG G2 from 4 years ago still blows this phone away. I shouldnt have jumped on this phone when my G4 broke. Should have just spent $20 on a throw away for while in the bind and explored my options.
Just a thought here but....
I have read the LG K10 is the "SAME" phone? and that the "LG Premier LTE" is just the renamed version of the K10 for Straight Talks services.... Can anyone confirm or deny that we could use the Root methods, Recoverys and or flash system images etc. from the K10?
Has any successfully rooted this phone yet?
I was able to temporarily root it with King root but as soon as you restart or turn off the phone, root is gone.
After getting temp root through kingroot we will need a custom recovery. Frash that before the phone reboots. Once it reboots. Go to recovery and flash a supersu zip. The only thing we are missing is a custom recovery.....

Wonder if the TWRP guys are working on this? :fingers-crossed:
It should be just like every other LG phone
Open McAfee security, sign up and get into the security options. Then disable it's root blocker.
anyone been able to figure this out yet????
Wouldn't Hold My Breath.

I wouldn't hold my breath. If this hasn't been rooted by now, it most likely won't be.
I've been waiting for months and at this point will have a new phone before anyone takes the time to figure out how to root this one.
