only problem is i am not a big fan of adb so i knew of the method but just never really into learning more about it thank you for the suggestion just wondering other methods
i should be getting mine friday as well, im selling my incredible thursday. So im in the same boat, but as far as i know its that method, or there is a three click method somewhere, z4root wont work on this phone. adb isn't as hard as it looks, just pay attention and read read read. ive read it 4 times this week already.

If you're not "into adb" then I hope you enjoy your used, unrooted phone.
I'm sure there is someone on Craigslist who actually has some intelligence and can charge you to root the phone.
Oh, and maybe you can ask him to teach you how to read, write, spell, research, and above all else, make a thread title that isn't so vague.
i am not getting this phone as i thought i would anymore the seller backed out i will now have to use an upgrade damn
hey nero shut the **** up very simple on every other phone i used i never had to adb root so i was hoping to not have to do it i am fluent in rooting just not so much in adb since i never needed it so gtfo this thread

If you did 2 minutes of research and actually took the opportunity to look in the Development section, you would have instantly come to the realization that using ADB is the only way you're going to root this phone, whether it be manually, or with someone's script (that no one can help you with if things go wrong).
No, instead, you create yet another pointless thread asking how to root a phone when the directions are in plain English already. I am shocked that someone who has been on XDA for such a long time as yourself hasn't learned this already.

Smh...another "winner" on the tbolt forums.
This is a very helpful community, but i would have to agree with the whole read and research first. You can find everything you need in the dev section. Its not nearly as bad as it looks.

never said it was since this is question and answer i asked a question which was what do people think of the best way to root and so far all i got was adb and i mentioned i choose not to so i know there are other ways such as 3 click root but rather learn while rooting

If you use a 3-click method, and it works, that's great, you've succeeded in being a lazy bastard. But if you use a 3-click method and God forbid brick your phone, no one will pity you; no one will help you.
Take a moment and just try to grasp in that adolescent mind of yours: "why is there only one root method stickied in the Development section (which was posted two months ago and has nearly 200,000 views)?" Perhaps it's because that's the one you need to use.
Please be diligent in your future decision-making processes.

Note: I apologize if this was answered somewhere else. I've read the FAQ's, and I am more confused than ever... I really need help.
I have an Optimus V, and I am using it with Virgin Mobile. I've had it for awhile now, and I always browse these forums, and here my buddies talking about rooting there phone. I really can't find it anywhere else, and I need some answers... I would like to root my phone so I could use this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176888 I heard CM7 is really good ( I know it's a port). What Do I have do to to make this happen? Does Virgin look down upon rooting or? Once again, I'm sorry if this has been answered before... I really don't know what else to do

IHO CM7 is what I am using and am happy with. My advice is to take a breath and read up on the process before jumping in with both feet. http://forums.androidcentral.com/optimus-v-rooting-roms-hacks/ has great information for getting started with rooting your phone, and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197991 has similar information.
Once you understand the terminology and steps involved, and stand ready to work through issues you encounter, proceed and enjoy!
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???

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
Does anyone even know if this is possible?
I've searched all over the place and tried a few different "one-clicks" etc etc
It just seems like this phone is un-rootable which I find really hard to believe.
Does anyone have any suggestions at this point or know anymore information?
any luck?

Technically, this is the web?.
I don't understand why some people seem to get upset when others make topics asking questions. It's not usually general knowledge for most people.
I can't tell you what a bootloader is but I sure as hell can spend all day complaining about them, lol. Literally everyone I know personally has never heard the term.
I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but what's wrong with people making topics before exhausting every other possibility to find the answer. Nothing wrong with conversation and who knows what random and unexpected things you could learn.
Hey, sorry I'm getting the breaks done on my car at the moment. I'm writing this instead of reading old magazines, lol
Chances are, we won't see this phone rooted anytime soon. especially now that the Stylo 6 has arrived. Locked Bootloaders are not your friend if you root phones. Mostly DEVs now only concentrate on the Flagship phones...
...Follow the $$$$ trail...
I sure miss the good old days...LoL 2013-2017 were my favorite years

I never was upset.
My POV:
It's neither the task of anyone here to re-publish (excerpts of ) articles simply created by "copy & paste", nor to do a related Google search and then list the links found, nor to tell the questioner that he/she is completely wrong that he/she is totally confusing things - the latter may be considered as being rude.
N.B.
Wondering why you didn't assist OP, instead of posting that garbage?

Posting "Garbage" ? Nah....that's good stuff right there. As for helping OP, your right. I was off topic, but really it's no big deal. Xda is not flooded with pointless threads. I know they prevent pointless posts and topics.....but a few never hurt as long as it's Android related.
OP, it's a shame but don't get your hopes up for ever rooting the Stylo 5 (Damn Bootloaders!). There is still adb though. I bet it's not long before that is gone to. You can get rid of bloatware and do some other cool stuff with it. If you need help with getting it running on a PC you can simply search it on Xda, or even pm me.
But for the love of God and all that is Holy!.......Do not make a thread asking about it!?.
I don't even bother using Google when it comes to Android. The good people on Xda are the only ones I know will be helpful and honest.....That and most likely Google would just get me here anyways, lol.
Again, sorry. I don't mean to be a jerk if I sounded like one at anytime in this novel. I didn't intend to write so much when I started, lol it seems to happen a lot though. There ya go some more good stuff.
The End!
Bottom-line answer is...
Hi,
Sadly after several hours' search, GInMF. Yes, I found several "Root your LG Stylo 5" with 25 different methods posts, NONE of which seem to work. I think most of them are thinly disguised ways to get gullible people to part with their money. The problem that I mostly encountered is, somewhere along the line, they just say "install TWRP recovery"...ignoring the fact that this phone model DOES NOT have one on the TWRP device page. So, the specific question, again, becomes: is there any way to root this phone, even if I'm happy with the stock image?. If any of the XDA experts on this thread know of one, PLEASE point me to it. If there isn't one, pls state that so I can put this effort to rest, either way. Thank you!

I remember when the original Atrix dropped first phone with a dual cpre processor. I was a kid in a candy shot holy he'll. The yesrs devs spent on that phone even after th3 other flags came out was astonishing. Miss the clunky ****er.
not only that, but I have tried some of the other websites ... Bricks now I only use XDA for my questions like this... Currently I am shopping for a new phone, I have the Stylo 3 still but it's on its last leg.
It's been a good time but damn it I Was hoping to get a Stylo 7

Technically there is a TWRP image for LG Stylo 5, however it should be noted that it is an unofficial TWRP image and should be done with the utmost delicacy. As to the whole rooting your phone thing, of course you can. Let me be a little more specific on that though. You cannot root an android if it's newer than 6 months (sadly for all you "tech nerds/junkies" you are all wrong when it comes to whether or not you can root certain phones). I know this for a fact. However I can tell you one thing for absolute sureness. I wouldn't waste the time or money trying to root an LG Stylo 5 when you can get cheaper phones (that run Android 11 and higher) at Walmart. And just so everyone knows, there's no need to root a phone with Android 11 and higher because of the fact that you can use LADB to uninstall system applications and bloat ware. But let me warn you as I've come across this myself and done it as well, but there are certain brands like Alcatel that won't allow you to uninstall the bloat ware, but you can still disable it using ADB commands. Lastly, if you get a phone with Android 11 and higher, DO NOT UNINSTALL anything with com.android, com.sec.android, or anything along those lines because it WILL cause the phone to go into a permanent boot loop at which you'll have to factory reset the phone using the recovery mode.
