I think I am done with my lg g2 i cant root the piece of garbage.
I mean really i rooted all my other phones except this one because it aint worth it I just dont understand why its so ****ing hard to hack the stupid thing is htc was at least nice to help on the root process on unlocking process and why in the hell should i have to risk loosing my phone completely due to stupid software killing it.

Took me, and lots of others a few seconds with ioroot!
What is the saying, "a bad workman always blames his tools" . . . It is not LG's fault at all.

It really isn't hard at all, and instead of asking for help, you made yourself look like an idiot.

You are just announcing that you failed at a task.
Anyway the biggest failure here (beside the tantrum) was that you did not share any details about your phone, version,os, your rooting methods, your system where you tried it.

If you can't follow the directions to root, then you shouldn't have a rooted phone. Wouldn't be safe.

His sig says:

We finally got to the question.
Follow sticky guide return to stock rom make sure you download KDZ of jelly bean.
Follow guide explicitly.
Once back in with jelly bean use ioroot to root it.
If you have sold the device then delete this post..

P769 won't get custom roms for a little while. We are still waiting on the jelly bean/bootloader unlock update, that came out in europe. I speculate that we will have all the custom roms that are available on p760 in about 1-2 months but there is no way to know for sure. But still a solid phone for the price (I got mine as a free upgrade when I renewed my contract) and the prepaid is $200 I believe.

People need very small procedures and quick solutions. The length of the guide could be the problem. They simply dont read it fully. I think the guide looks lengthy but the flashing and rooting is very simple and quick.
Sometimes they dont even explain what are problems.

Yes the guide is long but all u need to do is read fully thru a few times then follow instructions exactly as they are typed skipping nothing. I tried root one night and i was under the influence it took me so many tries i gave up but i sobered up read thru the guide again did it step by step and successfully rooted my phone. Ppl have to make sure they change their host files and reboot otherwise ur gonna get that lg server maintenance error which is what had me stuck until i changed my hosts file correctly

Yeah i understand the frustration with the locked boot loader.. No Aosp Roms is fine with me but no kernels sucks .. I should have researched a little more before buying this phone but i only paid $185 for it two months ago so its not a big deal . I can still sell for a profit it i decide to get a different phone...Might check out the g2 but will probably end up with GS5

Well I guess we'll find out by next Spring if they were lying.
Some random CS agent on a chat is hardly surefire proof that there will be an update for this device. It's dead as far as ATT is concerned. They've already forgotten about the people who bought the G2, which is 2 generations newer than this device. Just hang out here, use the awesome ROMs that our devs bust their ass to build, and enjoy a device that is better than ATT could ever make it.

Its funny how some people get so serious over things like this. At least they are keeping the rather quiet forum active.
I saw that there was a software update for the G3. I saw it at gsmarena but I am unable to post a link.
I downloaded the LG Support Tool, but my Sprint G3 cannot connect because the tool does not have drivers for the LGLS990. It is supposed to improve battery life and speed up the UI, basically getting rid of any perceived lag.

No apology necessary. That article was vague on which g3 got the update. There are so many variants of each phone these days, that you have to be careful to make sure you are reading about the right version you have.

No issues I bet. But probably a difficult process to get there. T-Mobile seems the best for modification, but anyhow, the s6 edge plus just has a hard lockdown because of Verizon making modification difficult, I looked at the T-Mobile variant forumns and they have a custom kernel and a few stock based modified roms
Hopefully is just a matter of time then. Thanks for the info. In the meantime I downloaded Package Disabler Pro and disabled a bunch of bloatware.
Well if you don't care about texting and talking, the tmobile variants do work with Verizon 4g. I've tested and it connects just fine.

to my knowledge i thought even if it did get rooted that it would no longer boot up on vzw/att? pretty sure youd need an unlocked BL regardless which most likely will not happen.. hasnt happened on vzwsammy since early s4 days lol
I don't think these phones have a good chance of getting root unless a universal method like towel root is discovered. Development is pretty much stagnant in the Verizon variants of these phones.
