Just wondering if this device has been rooted yet? I'd like to install the latest google dialer?
very unlikely you will ever see root, unless someone finds an exploit.
definitely not looking good currently. Honestly the only thing I want root for is so that I can remove carrier bloat and get my ad blocker. Everything else on the phone is fine (I can even deal with LG's skin if I had to)

AFAIK you do not need root for either of those things. I have no tried it myself, but you should be able to remove bloat by adb.
As for ad blocking maybe try this?

I tried one of the ad removal tool that uses adb, the only package that comes up is the LG setup package. Nothing else. I'll try it manually maybe. I'll have to search as I'm not sure how to do that.
I'll look into that ad blocker.

This screenshot is the short version on how to remove apps via ADB. I have not tried and remember, if you remove something you should not, you might screw up your phone.

OK, so the DNS one is what I tried before, its pretty **** compared to actual adaway or adblocker.
And you cannot do anything with ADB as you cannot boot to fastboot or bootloader. So that wont work eithe.r

My guess is that you use ADB on your pc with developer options activated on the phone. I have not tried it because I am happy with the phone the way it is. Only wish for timely software updates.

Is that specifically for the H931? I mean, doesn't it it allow USB Debugging in Developer Options?
I trimmed a ton of bloat from my T-Mobile H932 using ADB uninstall, and I've never loaded fastboot on this phone. (Some day I will, assuming the H932 gets root, but today is not that day.)

Try toggling UDB Debugging on the phone and give permission (again) for your computer to access it.
Which driver are you using?
I am on Windows 10 and using LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0. It can be downloaded from the following LG web site:
http://www.lg.com/us/support/product-help/CT10000025-20150179827560-software-version-update
If you are using a different driver, I suggest uninstalling it first and thoroughly removing remnants of it it by repeatedly deleting the device in Device Manager and choose "Delete driver software", then "Scan for Hardware", until it no longer gives you the option to "Delete driver software". Now unplug the phone and install the driver anew.

I just got done doing this and it worked. I was just going to come back here and reply. I couldnt get the device to recognize in ADB at all. Ended up having to uninstall google's universal USB drivers, uninstall LG's drivers and then reinstall LG's drivers and now it comes up as a recognized device! Lets get this party started

All AT&T H931 have root if you want it. See the WTF bootloader unlock and root thread.
Many people on here have rooted their AT&T H931 V30. And run them on AT&T as converted US998.
1) And please don't start with the no LTE thing you tried to say in other threads. All carrier unlocked North America V30 get LTE on AT&T -- especially US998. I've proven it over and over. Your particular AT&T store (and you didn't seem to get a second opinion?) seemed obsessed by your IMEI. (Other stores couldn't care less.)
AT&T allows BYOD from anywhere. You do NOT have to have an AT&T phone to be on AT&T. We've NEVER NEVER NEVER owned an AT&T branded phone, and my wife and I have been on AT&T since 2012.
Well, you now HAVE an official AT&T IMEI. So, convert it to US998, unlock the bootloader and ROOT it. You already have a working AT&T SIM card and AT&T IMEI (which doesn't really matter, but for some reason it matters to you).
2) Point is, you NOW have an AT&T phone and AT&T IMEI and AT&T SIM card (which you THINK you needed for AT&T, but you don't) -- so go unlock your bootloader and root your AT&T phone! I would suggest never going back to that particular AT&T store any more, and they are totally incompetent.
Here's some of my AT&T LTE speeds on my non-AT&T US998:

Im interested in getting the atrix from att, however I know of the issue where custom ROMS may never happen for this phone because of the locked bootloader.
Since att has locked down the mobile hotspot app to verify you have a tethering plan (I have unlimited data) and since they also disable the option to install non market apps, would it be possible to flash the firmware from the Bell version of the atrix when it is released in a few days onto the att version? The only reason i think this would work is because technically it is still an official ROM, just for a different region. Does anyone know if this will work? This will probably be the deciding factor in whether I decide to get this phone...

any reason why you do not want to root? it only takes one click of the rooting program and you can do both of what you want (tether and sideload). There's really no harm in it, plus the rooting program lets you unroot if needed. clean simple. way safer than trying to flash a rom meant for a different region that could possibly brick your device.
will superone click root put the option to install non market apps back in the phone settings or do you still need to sideload the apks? the only thing i have heard with getting around the tethering restriction was to create a new apn which many people have said is unreliable...

There is an option after rooting to make the phone natively install non-market apps.

To install non-market apps is what sideloading means. you do via other sources such as the sdcard, from email, or adb if you want. you dont need an option in settings to allow you to do this. the root program will set it up for you if you select it after you are done rooting.
For tethering, it will depend on the APN set. so even if you install bell's rom, you still need to setup apn's to access at&t's network, the same apn settings you are gonna use anyways.

The one advantage would be that upload speeds (hopefully) won't be capped on the Bell version as they are on the AT&T versions.

I hope just because it is still an official firmware there is some way to trick the phone into flashing it. I am very familiar with HTC phones and on those all you need to do is remove the CID (Carrier Identification) protection to flash any official (not custom) ROMS from another carrier or region. Does anyone know if Moto phones have something similar to this?

A similar thing with my OLD Nokia E63 running symbian.. all I had to do was change something called a Product Code to one of a different carrier/region and then run nokia's updater which would then flash that carrier's/region's FW onto my phone, I know android is different as well as different brands, but if HTC and Nokia have a hidden backdoor, who's saying moto doesn't?
Even if we cant flash the whole rom, we can use it's dump as a source for apk mods.
Hi folks. I am not allowed to post in the developer forums since I am a new user so I figured I'd try here and hopefully some developer will be watching this forum.

I am new to Android and therefore new to Rooting so I thought this all in one tool would be perfect for me to get the job done. But I now have no idea why nothing happens when I invoke the tool and select Option 1.

Once you select Option 1, you need to go back to the main windows to uncheck one box (F something) and then click start before it does the rooting. I missed it yesterday also and just keep waiting until I realized there was a step I didn't do.

Did you enable USB debugging and third-party? USB debugging can be found by tapping on build number (i think) under about phone like 7 times. Developer options should appear in your settings after that. Third-party sources is under security I believe. Hope that helps!

I actually found my problem. Even though I had the usb debugging flag set, when I tried to root, a popup window came up in the background asking me to confirm that I wanted to enable usb debugging.

Root just allows you to hack the software on your phone, and the "unlock" refers to the bootloader. It does not unlock the phone for other carriers; this is done (from what I understand) by dialing a specific set of codes, generally provided to you by the original carrier of the phone if you have an account in good standing with them and you tell them you plan on travelling out of the country and need to use GSM. I have never needed to do this and as such only have a minor theoretical knowledge of the subject; I would appreciate it if somebody with more knowledge on this would confirm or deny my suspicion that you are better off trading the phone for an AT&T/T-Mobile one that actually was meant for GSM, or otherwise obtaining one.

This is the original bootloader; not the stock firmware. You need to flash this after you successfully root, start the phone, start SuperSU, and update the SU binary.
The full stock firmware is rather large and available here:

The original bootloader is locked and doesn't allow for us to use the exploit to install SuperSU and root the phone.
We are installing the unlocked bootloader via Odin...
Then running motochopper to exploit a vulnerability to gain root...
Then MANUALLY (this can't happen automagically) opening SuperSU and updating the SU binary...
Then rebooting the phone to make sure you still have root (personal preference)...
Then re-loading the original bootloader (we don't need the modified one anymore!) via Odin...
Then we are done!
The steps in the how to are very precise and accurate. If you would like to PM me, I am available for another hour or so.

Well said. Only correction is the bootloader still remains locked. The recoveries included are loki patched. This bypasses the bootloader. All roms and kernels are loki patched so flashing them is safe. This is as close as we're gonna get to an unlocked bootloader for now.
Ah. I was under the impression the bootloader was unlocked. Thanks for the info.

Could be a couple of things first make sure your using the cable that came with your phone. Try switching usb ports. Alsi try rebooting your pc
I bought a LGL43AL tracphone. I tried to root it with several root apps and PC programs. I was finally able to root it with Kingo Root via PC. However, When I tried to run SuperSU I get a message "There is no SU binary installed and Super SU cannot install it. This is a problem!". Also, when I reboot my phone, it becomes unrooted. After trying many things, I have come to the conclusion that my bootloader is locked. On this phone, recovery is merely to reset to factory mode. There are no other options. I did find a tutorial on how to unlock European lg tracfones by getting a code. I am in the US and was leary to try it. Which led me here to get some advice. Any help or suggestions would be great.
Ok, so I've been looking into this some more and have found that the For LG Optimus Zone 3, LG K4 LTE, LG Spree, and the LG Rebel LTE are basically the same phone. Does this mean that I can use the same method to root my phone (mine being the Rebel LTE)? I ask because there are ample threads on the Optimus zone 3. I don't really care about the warranty on my phone. I just don't want to brick it.

This was the method I used to replace KingUser with SuperSU on a few different devices.

I tried also with kingo and kingroot and lost root also. Bummer. Not a big deal but root is always welcomed. Main thing i use root for is to use the adaway app and delete that god aweful tracfone boot and shutdown logo, which requires root. Maybe someone else will figure it out and share with us.
I disabled most of the google apps as they are useless to me. Very snappy for what it is. I got it on a good deal at walmart. They had it priced wrong at $19.98 and had to sell it to me because of their goof up. Was suppose to be like $79.99.
Nice price for your phone. I really just like to get rid of the bloat and to use lucky patcher. Maybe someday on this phone. ?

I am a long time frustrated Samsung on Verizon user; that has been living with out root, and I am considering an G6 and would like to know if I will be able to root the phone on the Verizon network.
I saw the thread about the OEM bootloader, and I suspect that you would need to have that in order to root.
Could someone confirm, can the G6 be rooted?
If Verizon prevents this, I will switch to another phone vendor.

It can't be rooted atm and may not have root at all since verizon usually locks their bootloaders.
People are hunting for exploits, nothing reported in public yet.

Any updates?
I keep reading about lg g6 unlocked phones being able to achieve root access. Can a verizon g6 be unlocked and then rooted? Also I have heard of achieving an adb set up through a pc and doing what you would do with root just through your pc and save it to your phone. I don't know much about either and am currently researching it. Any info would be nice.
So is there some way to use the ADB bridge to make changes to items that would normally only be accessible via root?
Honestly we need a better thread

The one thing I've installed is BK Package Disabler, which lets you disable bloatware. You have to wipe out all accounts on your g6, then install BK, then re-delete your Google account, then run an adb command to allow BK Device Admin.
Best I can tell it is honestly disabling a lot of the bundled junk. It has a pretty clean user interface, touch any item and it'll bring up an option to Google it.
Please tell me I'm wrong... no root for the VZW G6??? My VZW S7 has root. Do all of the exploits require an unlocked bootloader (yes, VZW will never let that happen)?
I believe the US unlocked version US997 works on Verizon and is bootloader unlocked correct? If OP is concerned about rooting, just buy the unlocked version from lg instead of buying from Verizon.
just looked at Ebay unlocked 260
TNX. I gave up on the idea altogether.
I have the unhappy feeling that sooner or later rooting, at least for phones usable in the US (CDMA), is going to be almost completely locked out. Bastards!
Hello all!
I wanted to create a carrier specific thread for SamFail on the Note 8. Please use this thread to ask any questions you may have, or discuss root!
Please be friendly, helpful and courteous.
Please hit thanks to help me out, and hit thanks to anyone that helps you out!
Thank You!

I don't think so until we get our bootloader unlocked
A general question about root.. Does getting root means we can switch carrier (move to att/verizon) on tmobile locked phones?

Can you elaborate by "switching carrier's?" Do you mean putting an att/Verizon sim into a T-Mobile phone? Or flashing a att/Verizon firmware to a T-Mobile phone?
If you're referring to the sim, then no. You'll have to either pay for a service to do it for you or wait for TMobile to unlock it for you.

Yes I mean using a SIM from a different provider.
Thanks for the info!
Google what Root means, It does not unlock SIM, it just allows for customization

and it allows you (the one plopping down a grand for this device) to remove all the CRAP that Samsung and your carrier thought it would be in THEIR best interest to put on your phone.
Since samfail doesnt trip knox (afaik) is it possible to unroot and use samsung pay again? Or is that gone regardless?

If you flash back to stock, Samsung Pay works fine since we never tripped Knox.

what about Tasker and Secure Settings?

Thanks for the reply, I have tried secure settings and it did not work. I am unsure how to make Tasker add a toggle. I remember the note 5 we had to add MobileData line some where in csc or something.

I thought T-Mobo's bootloaders were unlocked by default (as is the T-Mobo's Note 5)?

Piezan,sorry I was vague.Secure Settings has a Tasker plugin that under the right conditions allows you to either build a Tasker Profile ( voice,geofence or whatever ) to toggle Data or straight up make a widget for it...I remember on my Nexus 5 I had a Tasker Profile that as soon as I was about 50 feet from the house I would enter an AutoLocation Geofence I had set (Home) thus toggling my Data in favor of the home WiFi. The main reason I suggested it is that it requires root (for the SS part).
I guess I'll ask here.
When rooted is the 80% limit ,actual or perceived ? I keep reading it's still 100pct just reporting 80.
What exactly breaks or stops working. I know about Android and Samsung pay. But I've read Samsung health which is mind boggling that root would have anything to do with a heart rate sensor.
Lastly my main desire is for one click video download ,and Instagram downloads of stories or vids etc. These are Xposed dependent. Would I be able to use Xposed with samfail. (If not any non root alternatives?)
Fastboot and Download mode
I'm on rooted note 8 and booting into Download mode every time to charge the phone to 100% instead of 80%. Using hardware keys to get back to OS every time is uncomfortable and takes too long. Easiest way I know is to do "fastboot reboot" from PC, while the phone connected via USB. However, I cant get my PC to recognize the phone while it is in Download mode - "fastboot devices" lists nothing, and if I try "fastboot reboot" the command prompt just sits on < waiting for device >.
Does anyone know what note 8 specific drivers for Windows 10 x64 need to be installed, or what else to do to make fastboot recognize connected phone in Download mode?
I know the same feeling with the fastboot I can't seem to figure it out. I usually use Minimal ADB and Fastboot and it's worked on most every modern droid I've ever owned I don't see why the Note 8 is so finicky with it. I had no problems with it and my V20.
I know that these things take time, but does anyone have any idea if anyone is working on root for the new updated bootloader? I know that the new bootloader that came with last update broke root but I have not heard or seen anything. I haven't updated but would like to know. ????
