I just picked up one of these 7840's from Best Buy and the thing is sexy. I saw that Dell is selling them from their website with Lollipop? i have been poking around and found the root method, but havent really found any clear info on whether its possible to do the OTA update manually at this point? Could someone point me in the right direction?

Please excuse my noob questions.
I've done a bit of google searching and I've looked on here as well and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. So I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I just ordered a new T-Mobile myTouch (this phone).
I'm looking for info on how to root/hack it. I'm not entirely new to doing this. I changed my HD2 from Windows to Android, so I've got my feet wet in this a little in the past.
Any info available for this phone? Any help would be great.
Thanks!
Have you tried SuperOneClick?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
probably the easiest, and probably most likely way to do this
I rooted my Xperia Play yesterday with it
I actually haven't tried anything yet. I won't have the phone for a few more days (ordered online).
Rooting isn't my only concern. I guess I worded my original post wrong. I would like the option of loading custom roms as well as rooted.
I also like the HTC programs (e-mail app, etc). As far as I know, I will need a Sense build to get all of that. This is the reason I would like to load a custom rom.
As far as SuperOneClick goes, I've tried to use it in the past on other phones. Its success is kind of hit or miss with me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
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???

What is bump and who do I do it

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
Hey guys.
I am new to your group, and while i did search around - I could not find talks of people updating the Z3v on Straight Talk network.
It is currently running (Android 4.4.4 Soft: 23.0.E.1.44)
I was wondering if someone could point me in that direction?
I dig this device!
I've been an Android fan since the original Moto Droid (still have one in like new condition) but because of work, have swapped back and forth with eHphone over the past 10 years. I'm a little rusty.
Thanks for any help!!
It'll have to be manually done. At least from the experience I have, but I just found it easier to stay rooted and follow that path. I believe the update network j looks for vzw Sims for the update server to accept the request.

Gotcha. Looks like I am heading over to the root page. I may be back for some tips. I havent seen many Z3v's on Straight Talk.
I'm new to the XDA forums and need some guidance. I need a fairly new Verizon based phone that supports screen casting and that can be rooted. I was considering the HTC 10 but saw a thread indicating that it could not be rooted for Verizon phones as of yet because USB debugging was hidden (or something to that effect). So, I thought about the LG V10 but I cannot find any directions or videos relating to the Verizon model. It doesn't have to be any of these models. I could go for a Samsung as well but I heard they are harder to root? I really don't know. Basically, if someone could point me to a VZW phone that is relatively new and that can be rooted with directions, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
Anybody?
Hello,
Does anyone know how to root ASUS 3s 10(Z500m)?
I tried method of Kingoroot and Framaroot but I couldn't.
Please give me some advice.
Specs
OS:Android 6.0
CPU:MediaTek MT8176
If you already tried all rooting programs its not possible to root without TWRP or any other custom recovery.
But you didn't tried "all". Just keep trying.

Have you tried Towelroot? I've had success with it in the past with another Asus Tablet. If you have done any software updates to it already you may be SOL , not positive though. I just received mine today and as soon as I'm out of work I'm going to get started on it, I'll let you know if I have any luck

Did you get your tabled rooted?
No dice =-(
Ended up doing an OTA update that I couldn't stop from pushing through. Still searching around for something that works, I just hope I'm not too late. I absolutely love this tablet.. For the performance , build quality, and price, this thing can't be beat. Samsung and Huawei had a couple of decent tablets in the same price range but they looked and felt "cheap" to me. Unlike my HTC 10, I don't think I will lose any sleep if it never gets rooted but I certainly wouldn't mind a custom ROM on this thing
Rooting Z500M
I very much hope someone responds favorably to rooting the Z500M.
I have seen several websites that offer instruction on how to do it. I posted links to some of those pages that offered solutions, but when I did my post was deleted and I was accused of some nonsense from the head of the forum.
I have also seen a site that gives a tutorial on loading Nougat to the Z500M, I would share it but I don't want to get criticized again.
In that meantime, will Asus ever have a upgrade for Android Nougat, at least to 6.01, which had been out for quite a while and I use on my Asus built Nexus 7(2013).
I really want to root and install Adaway to manage all the ads.
Thanks
Jon

I would appreciate that very much as well.
The z500m looks like a very good android device but unfortunately I would like to be able to root it before I buy it.
If anyone knows a way to achieve this I would really appreciate that.
Thanks to all. I have had the ZenPad Z500M for about two months and it is a fantastic Tablet, especially for the price.
I am waiting to read from someone who has successfully rooted it. I have read several posts around the web with methods that "should" work, but no comments from anyone who has successfully done it.
I also am waiting for an upgrade to Android 7, Nougat. After signing a petition for Asus to allow upgrades to Nougat and several tech emails and calls, Asus tech support says it will happen.. When?
I would very much like to root it, use Adaway and a custom ROM if I need to.
Thanks,
Jon
i got the nougat update for this tablet about a month ago. android 7.0.
