Try going to developer options and turn on OEM unlock.

Try to get to system recovery by holding volume down and power.
Then wipe cache, then wipe data/factory reset.

I'm in the exact same boat... Going to recovery and wiping data doesn't fix the issue.
I'm trying to flash stock rom but it doesn't seem to be detected as a MTK Preloader device. Have you gotten anywhere with this?

I'm taking a total shot in the dark but I read somewhere that vol up & vol down plus power will get you into download mode - just a thought. I was thinking about buying one of these things, if it can be rooted. $20 at Best Buy this week!

ive just completed my root with kingroot 4.8.5 version, so far so good 3 days n running.just go to kingroot.net press da green android button n good luck.you do no about usg debugging and allow unauthorised apps .cheers bb225?
Anyone figure out how to fix this thing yet? I ended up with a black screen except for restart menu, and safe mode text when booting into safe mode. As well as vibrations from keypress, hard/soft keys, and factory wipe is in the same state as the earlier poster, useless, but accessible.. I also was rooted with kingroot, used super-sume, and that after I updated su binaries followed with a reboot to what seems almost like a broken systemui.apk but I wouldn't know. ****ing lame though.

Hey man can you do me a favor and share your NetworkSystemProvider UID apk with me? You can do this via Link2SD.
I accidentally uninstalled this app and now all network connectivity doesn't work.

I just picked up one these phones a couple of days ago. I thought I had soft bricked it. It got stuck on the boost splash screen and recovered itself after about 10 minutes. The thing just seems like an LG copy with physical keys. I was able to bring it into the android L recovery. Power, home key, volume down. When it flashes Alcatel. Volume up and press the power button a few times. Similar to the HTC phones. My question is when I first activated it. There was blue android splash screen. Is that when the boost stuff flashed itself? Almost seems like it locked the boot loader then. Read a little more and seen to just do the OEM unlock. Makes sense and seemed to have worked. Anybody has advice on what to do next? I'm about to go ahead and try some things I have success in the past with different phones.

im interested in knowing if you got your bootloader unlocked i attempted and got "waiting on any device" i figured it was an issue with the abd fastboot drivers from what i read online,so i tried using universal drivers and despite getting the serial when i type adb devices i still got "waiting on any device" when i tried "fastboot get-oem-unlock.
I'm new on here so bare with me I'm not certain of etiquette and such. I received an email saying to make sure I'm posting about the right device. I think the elevate from Boost and Virgin are probably the same phones. I just switched on OEM unlock in developer options through settings. It asked me if was sure. I have not gotten to hookup to a PC yet but I assume you are talking about something that I would call a fastboot adb. I have downloaded a terminal emulator and when I punch in "su" it says. "[email protected]:/ #"
Whether I have that switch on or not. Is there a command you can punch in to tell you if it's unlocked without rebooting into boot loader?
Unlock elevate
Where I'm going with this is that it says it is rooted as a one touch pixi. There is much more stuff about the pixi than the elevate on the pixi forum. Post 1192 on page 120 of the pixi 3 forum states that the elevate has a different chipset than the pixi. I seen some earlier posts on this thread that are saying the same thing and that this device is a Qualcomm device.
Knox has been tripped/ flagged, think that you're done for...

LG Intuition root information
Hello to all, I receive my phone on monday, and im coming from a rooted/rom/oc'ed Samsung Infuse 4g, Xoom, SII, and countless cheap tablets all tweaked so I cant wait to get into the guts of this phone but first I need root. Im no dev or coder but definetly not a noob so hopefully somebody takes the file im gonna upload and see if it actually works. Searching by the Japanese name of Optimus Vu p895 I found a "one click'' root for the phone that im gonna post. They also claim to have the bootloader unlocked also to have a custom recovery like CWM but I havent found anything yet about that. I hope the dev's and rom guys get to this phone because to me it looks like the perfect pocket powerhouse imo.
THIS IS MEANT FOR DEV'S OR THE CURIOUS TO SEE IF IT WORKS. ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE IS NOT MY FAULT.
This site was found by a simple google search, and the "super one-click" is meant for Android 2.3.5, hopefully one of you guys can make it work for 4.0.4 I dont get my phone til monday after thanksgiving so ill try it myself then.
the file is not uploading so the site is ninjaromeo . com /root-lg-optimus-vu-p895/
LG Intuition Root VIDEO Instruction
Performed a google search, with zero results found. Wondering if anyone has the ability to create a youtube step by step root instruction (for not so secure rooters), like myself. I have rooted four other devices but with each I had a video to refer too.
Thank You!

Yeah, no worries. How much do you know about development? I am not new to rooting, but I was so excited about removing bloatware that I removed a little too much and now I'm probably going to have send mine in for warranty. Any chance you know how to pull a system .img so I could reflash mine??? lol
I'll PM you just in case you dont see this.
Yeah I heard that if you remove a certain "bloatware " app it activates another verizon lock app, and once the phone is turned off it locks the phone up. I completly removed all verizon apps and the "lockout" so hopefully i wont have the that problem.
But ive flashed many other devices but i dont know how to put up the system image. It cant be that difficult, im gonna google and youtube it to find out how. I believe there is another thread on xda with the lg intuition system image also. But ill try to get that to you tonight if possible. One quick question....once you have the image how are you gonna flash it?, i thought the bootloader was locked, or is there a program like odin for LG?

Yeah, I'm luckily not locked out of the phone, but it would be nice to have a clean install. The boot loader is locked, and to my knowledge there is no Odin like program, but I was able to pull my .IMG a while ago. I'm hoping I can just push a clean .IMG, hard reset and call it good. I'll check when I get home to see if I can find how I did it.
Update: phone died...charged it up....turned on... received a security error. I deleted Verizon apps or something that triggered this. I returned the phone and within an hour rooted the new one without touching the Verizon apps.
This is not something new with LG phones I'm hearing. But if you go to developer options and turn on CPU stats it annoying to me that the phone is constantly sending messages to LG and Verizon servers and basically going ape**** in the background. So until the bootloader gets unlocked and a Rom is available I'm going with droidwall as a firewall and stock root. I wouldn't touch the Verizon apps or even quarantine IMO.

I finally got mine done. Went with a one click option that I found on youtube. It truly was a one click (well actually two) and it immediately gave me root priv. At any rate, download Titanium and then "freeze" the bloatware that you don't want. This way also prevents them from hogging cache and RAM. But, it doesn't trigger the commie Verizon bootloader locks. As of yet, ODIN does not support this device, but gooManager does. Haven't tried to flash yet, but it's downloaded and just sitting there....I'm afraid to pull the trigger. I wish I could remember the link...I typed "how to root android 4.0.4" and it was like the third or fourth option. I tried and tried and tried JCase's method, but got caught in the shell because it wouldn't verify lgroot.sh file was in place. It was. Looking forward to developing. Im in IT in college as a non-trad so expect a lot of questions you guys.

LG intuition Root 4.04 Help!
Can someone help me root my LG VS950 its been updated to 4.04 and I can't get it rooted using Bin4ry or Jcase suggestions so for... Others said it works with the 4.04 update, I just can't figure out what I may be doing wrong... when it gets to the reboot part and ask me to hit restore it starts and stops I about 5 seconds and nothing happens.. I added a pic of what it said when I tried to root using bin4ry method.. hopefully one of you can decipher this for me and help me find a solution...
P.S. and to be clear what USB connection type do I select (MTP, PTP, Internet Connection, or Charging) after I turn debugging mode on. and do I need to factory reset before I root?
Any other minor tid-bits would also be helpfull thanks..
Thanks in advance!
Here is how you fix it.
Power up the phone holding Power, Volume Up and Volume Down until Download Mode appears on the phone.
Connect the phone with the usb cable to the computer.
Use the LGMobile Support Tool and go to Customer Support -> Recovery Phone.
Follow the onscreen instructions from there.
This will download and reload your phone. Takes about 30 minutes total. All data will be lost.
Hopes this helps people.

Does this have anything to do with rooting the phone? Your response was @ no one in particular so i wanted to be sure before followed your directions
This is when you root it and you delete bloatware that it doesnt like. When the phone restarts and it shows that there is a Security Error, Can not find morningcall meaning a soft brick. The method that I gave gets your phone back up and running. It does wipe the phone so be prepared.
It shows the device connected and then I get an error when it is checking the information. It validates the esn, cell phone number, then right before it errors out it says its looking for LG PC-sync software. All drivers are installed. Any ideas?
I successfully got mine rooted but Bricked on restart due to Vz security software. I posted Step by Step restore in case of brick.

This method just does not want to work for me......I chose all rooting options and it keeps saying it can't mount, and file does not exist. I will try to post a screen shot when I get home but it is very similar to Peter Bishop but I am not even getting the prompt to add busy box, it says "confirm backup", "confirm restore", and then reboots and says it is done....but Root Checker says the device is not rooted.

Hi,
I was just wondering: Have you rooted your device and have you installed twrp for your specific device? (I know, sounds like a dumb question, but you'll be suprised how many people install wrong versions). Because if you have rooted your device properly, and you installed twrp (one for your device), then you should be just fine. But I'm afraid that you haven't, and that therefore the screen is all fuzzy. And also, is the screen fuzzy in the twrp menu, or when you are on (e.g) the homescreen? If the second option doesn't apply, then you are not bricked. Please answer and give as much information as possible on what you did, then I might be able to help you. (btw, it's very unlikely that you are hard-bricked and that your device won't be able to be repaired)
(and a happy new year )

Yes i root my device before i installed twrp , when i boot my tablet twrp boots up the screens goes alll blurry / fuzzy with colors then it becomes normal recovery menue i installed twrp touch so i should be able to touch the setting but i can't i press the power button and a fuzze Unlock with ''Slide to unlock'' comes up but i can't slide to unlock it.. Oh yeah and it is upside down so i have to turn my tablet upside ..
I think[I know] i installed the wrong version of twrp which does not work for my device, Is there any way i could get rid of this recovery or factory reset?
What kind of tablet do you have? Does the bootloader support fastboot? If so you should be able to flash the proper recovery. If not does adb work when in recovery? You may be able to change it here. Also your OEM may have a download mode to flash firmware, this may be another option.

I think the easiest would be to just install the right version, the same way you installed this version. You are still able to connect your device to your pc, I guess, so you should be fine. To go back to your stock recovery, find the stock recovery for your device (you can probably find it somewhere here on the forums), and flash it.
Hope this works and good luck

Hey all, been on this site for awhile now and did a lot of work with my HTC M8 which had a lot of options. Now.. i know this device is fairly new so there probably isnt much development yet, but i was wondering if anyone knows of a root method that actually works? The closest i have gotten is with iRoot which just makes my phone freeze at the boot screen. Thanks in advance!
btw my phone is an at&t model
I suddenly find myself in need of a new phone. I was looking at the same model, but wanted to try and make sure whatever I buy can be rooted. I found...
http://www.sadroid.com/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-express-prime-in-5-minutes/
Have you tried that one? No idea if it works. Like I said just trying to find a sure fire method before I spend the money.
Yes I have unfortunately with undesirable results. Great phone and very speedy for the price. (Touch wiz) but hey it's cheap. I've currently tried kingroot, iRoot, poot, towelroot, and framaroot? But got the closest with iRoot it just freezes after the last reboot... I do believe there might be a way with Odin? But I'm not sure fire with Samsung touchwiz products mostly HTC sense. I'm gonna do more research today and ill get back with some results.
Update:
It seems there is on oem unlock feature in the developer options. Problem is I can't boot into the boot loader from the stock recovery. It starts to then just reboots as normal. If i can get into the boot loader I'm sure I can use fastboot to unlock and maybe make an iroot application work?
Bump
Bumping. Surely there's a way to root this phone ?
Please, someone find a way. I have this phone, and I really need to root it...

i think i have found a cwm for galaxy express prime will let oyu know if it works or if i brick my phone
Recently had to replace my HTC with a cracked screen that I had rooted for a long time. I got this Express Prime as a replacement. It's frustrating not having root powers on my cell. I'm voting for a root as well..have tried many different methods before searching. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
The closest I got was 70% on King Root PC
The closest I got was 70% on King Root PC. The mobile version didn't even let me try.
King Root (mobile version) now has the "Try to root" button at the "root strategy unavailable" screen. I tried it, but at 20% the app says "Network Error - Unable to get root strategy from cloud". The thing is, is I was on 4G LTE. I tried WiFi to see if that was what it wanted. Same outcome. This was on 7/20/16.
Today (7/22/16), I received an app notification from King Root saying "The app 'Knox Security' will effect root strategy. Disable it?". The issue with that is you can't disable it. I tried looking up how to without root, and the official Samsung Knox site first said to tap Knox in the app drawer. But there is not a shortcut to launch Knox in the app drawer. So I'm guessing with Knox there can't be root. If someone can figure out how to disable it then we'll be good. I'm going to try to root with the PC version again and see what happens since the mobile version got the "Try to Root" button. I will post the outcome after I try.
Update: Rebooted my Samsung Galaxy Express Prime and then launched King Root (mobile version). It got to "Root unavailable" screen and "Try to Root" button was gone. The app said "request sent" and "not enough requests" as usual.
Sorry about your lack of luck. I'm surprised there is no root for this device yet. Galaxy Express Prime should be fairly common now. I solved a problem with running out of storage by using adaptable storage to make the system see my SD card as Internal Memory, but still. .it's so limited without root control.
SRS root?
I found a tweet. One in June and one from today. I can't post the link bc I'm new but if you go to @srsroot on twitter then ctrl-f on the page using j320a it will come up. and there are a few diff builds posted but mine matches.
The link comes up by google as maybe containing harmful programs. But I suspect that is because it roots google OS? I'm not sure if this works. I'm new to rooting. But I may give it a shot. Has anybody else tried this? Is this legit?

I wouldn't unless it's an official root. Roots the GoogleOS? Rooting is for your cell phone's particular OS for your particular cell phone.
Hi gang!
I have a Moto E 2nd Generation here that was having some issues, browser crashing, slow downs, overheating issues due to multiple apps running, etc. So I decided to log into TWRP and attempt to do a factory reset. After this factory reset was done now I attempt to log into fastboot, which gives me the options of start, restart, factory, etc. I am just receiving a boot loop and nothing more. The steps to get this corrected is a bit jumbled and confusing, I must admit. I have installed ADB on my computer in hopes that this will be straightforward. I have downloaded some system images which I thought would help the process, negative. So if someone could help me this would be greatly appreciated.

Heyo John!
I can try to help since I have managed to overcome my bootloop issue and flash a custom ROM into my phone. Could I ask, are you trying to also install a custom ROM? And what version of TWRP do you have?
I had the bootloop issue because of an outdated TWRP and had to flash the latest one, which thankfully worked!
Let me know! ^_^

Hello testerexp345,
Thank you for the reply and the assistance, I am not sure if TWRP is installed anymore as I can't get passed the bootscreen on the phone. I hold down the volume down and power button to get the options of factory reset, shut down, restart, etc. However all these options lead back to the boot screen looping over. The ROM that I had installed on the phone was from an online seller that paired the phone with a SIM card that allowed unlimited data service, which was great for my business since I am out much of the week traveling. Any insight would help, as when it comes to flashing devices and cell phones... let's just say I am a newbie still

Hello hamxa266, okay I was able to get into the bootloader. All the options I choose restart the phone and put it back it back into a bootloop. I am not very familiar when it comes to using ADB.
