Hi,
I've been an Android user for quite some time now but I recently upgraded to Geotel Note 4G and would like to root it, because some apps only work on Root Mode and if not, they just won't (you guys know). The problem is that I've seen a tutorial on how to root it but I'm worried I may brick the phone if something goes wrong.
Saw this tutorial: stupdroid.com/2017/04/root-twrp-geotel-note.html
Is there like a one-click root solution that I could use? I did try KingRoot but it failed.
The seller told me it'd arrive rooted but it didn't though I still really like it overall, it would just be much better if it were rooted.
Thanks.

I had a few questions about rootign and the SGS3.
1. Do i need to root to use launchers like nova and apex?
2. If I launch and mandatory updates come out will I be able to download them if I root?
3. Is it worth it?
Thanks in advance. Ive only rooted older phones that didnt regularly receive updates and my knowledge is extremely limited.

1. No.. those launchers will work without root
2. Not sure about this..
3. Up to you and what apps you use or like to use. There are some really great apps out there that require root. Think of having root the same as being an administrator on your PC. Lets you have TOTAL control of your device. I think its well worth it.. for me.. for someone who likes to use root apps!

I hesitated to root to ! I did it just to be adfree et to use Titanium Backup
Having rooted mine, I received notification OTA of the update yesterday but was unable to install OTA but no trouble updating via kies on the PC, just had to re-root again after the update.
It is ALWAYS worth it to root, lol. Who doesn't want root apps, custom ROMs and kernels, and the ability to remove bloatware??
Usually I will keep my smartphones untouched for several months until I got bored or I hit the limits of the phone.
I decided to root my old Desire because I was short of memory all the time, this can be solved only by having A2Sd+, EXT2SD, etc. ROMs which needs rooting for flashing.
I hit the limit for my Desire only after several weeks...so...I rooted it only after a few weeks. (I am still keeping this device )
I rooted my Sensation after 3 months...just got bored with the stock one...
(This baby is sold after 7 months (unrooted before selling)...I dunno, I do not like this device without any special reason...)
I dunno if I want to root my SGSIII at the moment...perhaps after several months..
I am currently still enjoying my stock SGSIII Hey! It is only a couple of days since I received this device
I managed to wait an entire 24 hours before rooting my S3. I felt that this demonstrated tremendous will power and self control.

I rooted to get rid of Samsung bloatware and to be able to use cwm. Really easy using the Toolkit (listed in the Dev section), and I was mighty pleased that Samsung chose to ship the phone with an unlocked bootloader.

I was exactly the same with my desire
As for whether to root or not i know everybody says it but it really is just a case of looking at why you would want to root vs the risks. I personally am waiting for a bit because I haven't seen a custom ROM i like enough or another reason to root (battery fix or Google wallet working for example)
However that being said rooting is always worth it because of all the extra apps and capabilities! And as far as I'm aware getting back to stock if it becomes faulty is as simple as flashing some stock firmware through Odin and using chainfires tiangleaway (someone correct me of i'm wrong please because not absolutely 100% on this)
Hi, I had local mobile phone shop (since then gone out of business) try to unlock my Atrix 4G when I first bought it. They couldn't find an appropriate code but 'rooted' my phone for free (Superuser installed)! At the time my phone was on Froyo, but some months later upgraded to Gingerbread and successfully unlocked. I have since tried to install a few apps that require a rooted phone but the apps say that my phone is NOT rooted and will not install . I have also tried to install a few apps which will not install as they tell me that my phone IS rooted . I have also tried root checkers, again these tell me that my phone is NOT rooted.
Is this because 'superuser' is still installed on my phone and that the apps sees this?
How do I remove superuser or get round this issue as another phone emporium tells me (over the phone) that factory resetting will almost certainly brick the phone?
P. S. I have tried to search for clues in the forums but being uninitiated in phone hacking terms, I can't seem to find anything related.
Regards, Gareth.

I guess it's possible that some (poorly written) apps consider the phone rooted if there is the Superuser app installed. I'm also guessing the phone got unrooted when you upgraded to GB. I'd trust the root checker apps - if they say you're not rooted, that means you're not (at least not properly). So since you're not rooted, there is probably no way to remove the Superuser app.
I think your best bet is to root the phone yourself. The preinstall method is fairly easy and works on all known phone variants and software versions so it's pretty safe. There are some automatic rooting tools too.
Also, either you misunderstood something (or didn't explain it to them right), or they don't know what they're talking about. Factory reset can't ever brick the phone. I've never heard of such a case, ever.
i never saw apps that will not install because of root %)
and yes, root the phone yourself is the best way to control it instructions are in sticked thread in "Atrix 4G General" forum.

Hey guys new around these parts... anyway.. I succesfully rooted the LG G3 using "Stump Root" on my friends phone... she enjoyed the benefits of having a rooted phone for about 3 weeks before she came in to work and told me her Pandora One and Pandora Patcher weren't working anymore... i checked Xpossed Installer thinking that was the problem... thats when i noticed the phone wasnt allowing me root access... when i open up SuperSU it says "there is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. this is a problem, If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root-consult the relevant forums for your device"... maybe she did a system update because her phone is showing Android 4.4.2... so that is why i am now here... asking for your assistance... I know i'm a newbee or whatever term might apply, but assistance would be much appreciated... everything else i have accomplished on my own so far, but one could say I'm a bit "STUMP-ed" on this one.. pun intended. please someone help me with re-rooting this LGg3... i hope fixing it is as easy as the initial "stump root" process.
Hi, i was wondering if Kingoroot is safe to use. I want to root my phone but i'm really new at rooting and i don't know too much about rooting.
Thanks in advance
Yes
It is however I recommend KingRoot as it is better and safer (kingroot.net)
kingoroot worked to root my old lg volt but....
...but I have a moto g3 that I rooted with twrp, and I now recognize the danger of the rooting apps. See after routing my moto g3 I installed all kinds of stupid apps that I really didn't understand. I screwed up the phone about five times now. The reason I could do that though, is because twrp has my back. Every time I have the phone running great, I create a backup in twrp. So when I get things too screwy I just go back to one of my backups.
What I'm saying is KINGOROOT is NOT AS DANGEROUS AS YOU CAN BE TO YOUR PHONE WITH ROOT PERMISSIONS AND NO RECOVERY. Every app in the playstore that requires root can screw up your phone. Believe me ive screwed the pooch enough to know.
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

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.
