I need to get in touch with any developers that could use someone willing to donate their ****ty hydro wave for the greater good. I've read and read and read for hours on end now I'm completely fed up. I will need some instruction on how to do some things most likely but please help the masses who have this phone and need the root. I don't care if we end up bricking it at this point I almost want it to happen

Kingroot 4.02 version should do wonders. Google for Kingroot 4.02 Apk download. > Install the app > Open and Click Root.
Make sure your security apps are removed, and must have good internet connection. Let me know if this specific version of Kingroot works for you as well because the latest one failed and this one did wonders.
OK trying now

Not sure why it just gave you temporary root. But still, you got rid of unwanted things and that's good
Yes true but let's say for some reason my phone gets locked or stuck in a bootloop or something. The only way I'll ever be able to do a recovery is through settings Kyocera themselves said that is the only way. Therefore I need full permanent root and eventually a custom rom

Hi, I actually haven't rooted my S3 yet but in updating to jelly bean Barclays is convinced that I have!
Anyway imo they have a totally arbitrary and blinkered approach to security so I'm ditching them.
What I'd like to know is your experiences of bank apps and if they work with rooted handsets (i plan to root in the future).
I have the HSBC app which works but is limited to giving mini statements only.
Ideally I'd like an app that is as fully featured as possible, allowing transfers and the like. I've heard that Halifax offer this but I can't find info if it works with root.
Any experiences would be a great help and much appreciated. Thanks

I have as well barclays and hsbc ? have you found anything by now about Halifax? Although i don't like barclays from the same reason (I had an unrooted s3 and note 3 and several times they where saying there rooted), i heard barclays has good security.

You can check out the Xposed Framework and the RootCloak module to see what apps are supported to hide that you are rooted.
It's not just the UK. Most banking apps won't work when rooted for me either and the xposed mod doesn't help with either of them.
[email protected] Barclays email support! I suggest to send them as many emails as possible from customers who want rooted devices support!

There is a reason they dont work. Rooted devices are not as secure as non rooted devices. This is why they refuse to allow rooted devices to work with the app.
I can understand that but a windows computer you can consider it more dangerous and there you have root access.

If you look deeper no you dont. In most windows you are not even marked as the owner by default. That is why you have o run some programs with admin rights.
Plus Root can be exploited without you even knowing, There was once a glitch found with root that an app could be granted root access without you even knowing. IT would not even popup the root request but it would be granted root rights with no trace.
I don't want to create a debate or anything.... We are getting of topic anyway.
Now on the topic itself...
Hsbc app works good on rooted phones. From what I know barclays is the only uk bank app that does not work on rooted devices!
Halifax and Systemless root
Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 rooted. Up until now, the Halifax Banking App has always worked since the rooting method I used with "systemless". In the latest update of the app, it is now telling me that I am rooted. Anyone found a way round this please?
I run both a rooted phone and tablet in the UK. Santander does not run after their latest update. Most are starting to use the Google safety net API so I would expect HSBC to block soon (they are just a bit slow). The only one I know that actively recognises root and let's you carry on is First Direct.
The irony is I can run them all on an ancient phone on 5.1 cos it's not rooted only missing 3 years security patches!!!
Let me first say :glad to be back (3-4 years back had a nokia with symbian that with the help of this forum i did minor modifications to)on the forum and out of the clutches of apple(3-4 days ago traded iphone 4 32gb for LGOG)
Now first question: I've rooted my phone attempting to remove any and all bloatware, however I can't seem to remove it?
Second question: in regards to cases what's the differences between att and sprint LGOG's?
Third question: how do I sent picture messages? Seems like a dumb question but every time I try to do so the message says something like "picture too big ,compressing" now normally that's fine it compresses the picture I send and its good however when I get said message the text I had started to send to whomever is gone and I'm back at the message as if I never started it?
Fourth question: how do I send a multiple contact message?
Finally : since this was a multiple question post, I did search , did read, tried everything I could think of to avoid asking a repeated-a-million-times-question , sorry if I did and sorry if I put in wrong part of forum
Thank you sincerely
LGOG rookie

After you root, before you delete/disable/uninstall any apps. Do the Freegee bl unlock. Otherwise you will get bl security errors and bootloops.
Is there a free version?

Nope, you have to pay for it in the app store.
Or you can search and take a look in the other section (like the development section). I could be wrong, I dunno.

install titanium backup ROOT , delete any apps you do not want, really I just deleted most of the at&t stuff or stuff that requires you to purchase other things. one app that is worth its money is root explorer, sounds like you are new to android, one helpful tip to you is when you do buy these things in the play store you will always have it as long as you remember your google account, get a new device bam, still have the apps you purchased.
Yes I'm extremely new to droid as a whole
Let alone rooting and other info
Been trying to avoid posting a millions questions that could be avoided with a couple searches, I'm coming from iphone .
Iphones are insanely simple compared to droid ,however with the right tweaks droid can prevail for sure.

I phones seem simple because they don't have any of the customizations that android does. So, I guess iPhone is simple and not in a good way.
Also, "droid" is more commonly used to refer to the phone model by Motorola. We generally use the term android when speaking of the OS in broader terms. But more commonly we use the specific term for the version of Android or ROM that we're speaking of at the moment, Jelly Bean, AOSP, stock, for example. You'll get the hang of it. :thumbup:

Download the free Freegee App from the play store.
Run the app. Backup EFS. Click unlock Bootloader.
Boot into Fast Boot, then CWM or TWRP (depending what recovery you chose when using Freegee)
Make a backup.
Reboot phone and get an app called Titanium Backup (paid version has more options)
Using Titanium Backup you can uninstall bloatware or freeze them if you have the paid version (this is easiest and safest I believe)
OR you can use Root Explorer or a similar root file manager to manually delete each apk
Be careful what you delete. There is a post here listing what apps can safely be removed without messing up your phone.
Read twice, click once. Good luck

I would also have to say to the new guys...dont get all wound up on installing a new rom, trust me I have upgraded lots of roms from backflip,atrix,htc inspire but all those needed it. I have to say the original rom that comes on these LG's is pretty good, unless it doesnt do what you need it to I wouldnt worry about a new rom. root it so you can delete some of the bloat.
100% agreed. Amazing Rom for stock. I did the same thing and I'm loving it

Hey guys. I just rooted my Galaxy Mega with the Kingoapp, very easy and is awesome so far. I have supersu and a few rooted apps already. Just wanted to see if you guys have any suggestions of other apps to use with this since there isn't that many options with this device already. I do have Xposed Installer already as well.
Thank You
Well i think you should first install a custom recovery before you start to mod your device. That way you will have a way to recover your device. just in case that somthing goes wrong.

I would want to know what variant he has before suggesting he do something like that. If he has i527, he is going to have a brick with a 6.3 inch screen.
Yes, I thought I recognized from other post......he has ATT variant. We have no recovery yet.
DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING.
You have exposed and you have not upgraded yet. Keep your eye on your phone though, it may want to upgrade on its own. I am pretty sure root will protect you however.
Hopefully there will be more Xposed modules that work for you than me.

I would like to add that do not unroot and update to the new firmware. You will gain knox and it is a right pain. If you want to keep root access and custom recovery (as of writing this, there is no recovery for the AT&T variant), STAY ON JELLY BEAN to keep these privileges.
Wanam module. You can make it look like a custom rom.

Buy Titanium Backup Pro. Freeze the Auto Updates app. This way you don't have to worry about an OTA coming through and killing root. It's definitely worth the money even if this is the only thing you use it for.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if maybe anybody over here could help us get root on the new Samsung galaxy avant. Or even give us some pointers on how to obtain root on the device.
I can try to pull any files that are needed and help out any way I can.
Any words of wisdom would be nice, or to tell me to get out of here. That works too. Just needing some more experienced people to help out if at all possible. Thanks ?
I'm trying to get the same info. Just got my Avant and am so used to running custom roms in my other phones. Still have my build from the collective on my S2 but it's about to die and I will get a new S5. But I can't deal with the bloat ware and not having control of my phone. I've had it 24 hours and I'm about to throw it against the wall because all the junk apps and settings. Other than that it might be a good phone .

If you read through that thread, then you know as much as I do, sorry to say. I've been checking other forums as well. The Avant has KNOX, as well as Qualcomm Secureboot. For whatever reason, T-Mobile has locked this device down hard. Nothing is impossible, of course (look at the AT&T/Verizon Note 3/GS5 and Towelroot - which unfortunately doesn't work on the Avant), but it might take some time to find root for the Avant, and maybe even longer for a way that doesn't void your warranty and/or permanently prevent updates.
Yeah, I posted this somewhere else trying to get some people interested but guess it got moved.

Yeah we have it sorted out on the other thread for this. Linked in the above comments
Now that we have root, what's next?
Hi, my Avant is the first phone I've been compelled to root. I had done some research, picked up a few apps that were recommended (i.e. AdFree), using a different launcher, etc..
It's been a great step forward, and now I'm hunting for the next step. Going into ROM Toolbox and deleting everything that looks unnecessary or bloatesque seems like a great way to brick the phone. Is there any way to determine what can be eliminated without catastrophe, or a list of egregious resource hording apps?
When it come to deleting apps I don't think it's possible to brick the phone. You can pretty much delete any app you want and replace it with a third party one. I've removed everything except the launcher, messages, phone, the tmobile app (since I pay my bill through it) etc etc. Just use root Uninstaller and back up any app you might think could cause a problem.

I currently own this device and am liking it except for the fact that it overheats and the battery life is horrible. Is there a fix
You can root it by using towel root and then after rooting you can download set cpu app from playstore which can increase batterylife or you can increase your phones performance.
Hope it helps!!!!:thumbup:

No you can not. Towel root doesn't work for the avant. Last time I checked anyways.
Easiest way to root it is flash twrp using odin, then flash the newest supersu.zip in twrp.
I'm new
I'm a brand new to all of this and I have a Galaxy Avant that I want to root. I've read thru the threads and am still confused. I can't use towelroot.com on this phone and the apps for rooting in the app store don't work. Do I have to root using a pc or can I do it without one? How??
Anyone know if the my Verizon Mobile app is still asking for root. I quit using it cause I was suspicious but would like to use it again to monitor data and pay bill.
I don't think so, I side loaded what I think is the latest version and it didn't ask for root.

The code for root check is still in the apk.
Darn. Anyone know why I'm assuming to find something out to use against their users
They just want to know when you void your warranty. You might want to try xprivacy its able to take permissions away from apps.
I wonder if denying root is the same as no root to the app
Does anyone have the last apk before it started asking for root
