Am I missing it or are there instructions to root and instructions for multi-boot but no ROM for the LG G Vista, please?
I've searched and read through a bunch of threads but nada ... so far.
Will any of the ROMs for other LG G-series phones work?
Thanks!
Wait ... I just looked in About phone and it says this is a VS880.
I just got this from Verizon.
I'm seeing the VS880 referred to as a G2 and a G3 on the Internet - what is it really, please?
It came with Android 4.4.2, kernel version 3.4.0+, and our son rooted it for me earlier today.
Just in case any of those details help ...

They are the same thing. One is the internal name while the other is normal users name of the device. As for roms make sure to do your reading up as the device is pretty locked down.
So, you are saying that there is no ROM anywhere for the LG G Vista/VS880?
Is there any reason to believe that anyone is actively developing one?
There are so many sites touting Rooting as a pathway to loading a ROM it seems odd there there is not one.

It takes more then root. You need an u locked bootloader or a way to bypass a locked bootloader like safestrap or bump. Most developers that make roms only make them for devices they own.
The bootloader bypass has been solved:
http://www.unlock-bootloader.info/mp3-0/lg-g-vista-6569.html
The LG G Vista/VX880 is "free" on Verizon with the $16/mo Edge data plan & has a nice big display.
I have my Samsung Tab4 7" tablet for sale as I don't need it now that I have the LG G Vista/VX880.
There are ROMs for the models all around the LG G Vista/VX880 - it's hard to believe that LG made that phone so radically different from the others that tweaking an existing ROM to port it would be beyond a developer.
Sure wish I had the skills ... sigh.
It's not really that. It's most developers seldom do ports. Let alone for devices that don't have. After looking at the spec is not a bad mid range device. But also remember that. Most carriers in the world are GSM carriers and very few work on cdma devices.
There are plenty of Tuts on how to port. Could be something you could look into

Modified request: Is there an app/hack that strips-out all of the Google stuff, especially their backdoors & data-leeching?
If no one is going to build a custom mod - which seems apparent - it sure would be good to have a clean machine onto which to then install carefully selected apps.
Thanks!

Simple answer is no. You would have to build a rom from source and then remove alot of the Google based code. There is a project that is working on it but you lose alot of functionality.

Cannot the functionality be restored via privacy-respecting alternative apps?
What about an app that monitors the bad behavior of the Google code than cannot be removed and blocks execution of data-leeching & activity monitoring?

Not completely no. Many have been trying over the years. Your biggest issue is the device your using. Once that is taken care of you can try and build something but like I said alot of the stuff is built directly into the os.
To be honest privacy is an illusion at best now a days. Every thing monitors what you do. From credit cards to social net networking. It is all made to get as much info as it can about a person. Even carriers do it. It has even come to light that Verizon can monitor the apps installed on a device.

I just re-flashed my VX880 last night to stock 5.1.1.
I can give some pointers that I had to work through if you have any questions, or have not gotten any help since last November.
I have spent many hours looking .

Many Many hours wasted on Google,Bing,ect. I haven't found anything. I have seen where some people refer to this as the same as a G2 And others but it's clearly not. But yeah wish someone would put something out. Agreed. I have however figured out how to get Viper4Android and Dolby Atmos to work. So if anyone is interested in knowing how that's done hit me up. All you have to have is root. NO custom recovery. Haven't seen a post on how to do that either? I still have 8 more to go before I can post lol.

Where did you get the rom? Do you have a copy I can get?
I've been trying to root this device for a few days now.
The device is running Android 4.2.2 JellyBean.
Tried using One Click Root on it, and it downloads ADB drivers, but never connects.
I know the old ZX1 was able to obtain root, but have had no luck so far with this one.
Thanks in advance.
Just reporting back, I've tried Framaroot, Towelroot, Kingroot APKs with no luck, and One Click Root, and various other One Click solutions for the old NW-ZX1 and other Xperia devices, and all have failed.
From what I know, the ZX1 and Xperia Z2 Tablet used similar kernel, and were able to utilize the same solution.
Any more info would be greatly appreciated.
Any news? Some people rooted zx1 with Vroot, but with zx2 it does not work.
While i was researching about the volume problem,
I found on the Sony Japanese website the firmware update of 1.01 as an exe or dmg, since it is not the original firmware only an update, i doubt it could be used or even could be helpful.
I am not posting any links here to avoid confusion, but anyone who might think that this could be of any help for him to find a solution and is knowledgeable enough to be playing around this area without bricking his device or at least willing to take the risk and responsibility, he could pm me for the link.
i will post it also on xda may be someone could help.
also, i don't want to give any false hope, so don't raise em up.
Still no luck after trying some other methods...
I'd love to root this thing to get rid of all the useless bloatware that came installed on it,
as well as trying to extend the battery life.

Were you ever able to root the ZX2?
Upgrade android on the Sony NW-ZX2?
Hi,
Did anyone ever get to the bottom of solving this issue. As I would like to upgrade the android version so more apps able to work with this Walkman?
No, I haven't found anything that works yet.
Guessing there's no hope for root on the ZX2? :/
Not even Sony willing to help!

There seems to be little or nothing that can be done - and in deprecation asked Sony to support this and they seem recluctant saying nothing meaningful just the usual scripted answers. We all have wonderful music player and as such all is not lost and I certainly will continue to try and get this android player updated.

Did anyone manage to successfully root the Sony zx2 with the root.360.cn or with any other root tool? I own a Sony zx2 that wish to root as well. My problem with the zx2 is that it is not passing hi res signal to my Sony pha-3 if I am not using the Sony stock music app. I tried to download USB audio player pro from the App Store but it says that it isn't compatible with the Walkman. Any input will be appreciated thanks!
Hi for those who want to root their zx2, i did get my zx2 rooted with 360root from http://root.360.cn/index.html
Can you share some of the system apps from it? Or maybe full system dump if possible?
I tried root.360.cn (both from windows and direct on android) it doesn't work unfortunately. Kingoroot doesn't work also. ZX2 EU version
Is anyone able to validate a successful root process yet? I'm seeing some recommendations that have been non-events for most.
Also, discovered http://oss.sony.net/Products/Linux/Audio/NW-ZX2.html today: unfamiliar with ROM development, would this content provide all that's necessary to build a ROM or is it missing things like hardware drivers?
Would love to Android 8.0 deployed to what is a fantastic device (and the last Sony are deploying with Android?).

Hi I just wanted to let everyone know that I managed to unlock the bootloader on my xperia xz 2 using the old adb command prompts when you get your unlock code from the Sony developer website but still struggling to root it. I've heard magisk is 1 method but you'd need to find and download your phones original bootloader image file and patch it I think then flash it. Then back to your pc and install the file magisk downloaded to your magisk manager folder in your phones memory using a adb command prompt

i learned 2 things 1 never buy lg phone without 1 million people confirm it will not bootloop
2 never update to latest android os if you don't guarantee root access
No unlock bootloader, no root since MM. It's not the end of the world but life could be better with it, say enable AptX on this phone. If something you'd like to achieve feel free to share, in case there is a rootless workaround that comes close.

you talkied about APTX what is it that .. and show me the solution
so as i see here .;there is no root for this phone now or any soon future
Nope, don't feel too bad, there's nothing much you can do these days with root unless custom ROM is your thing or you're on stock ROM closed to AOSP , which not including LG UX. Trust me, I have rooted device which is Asus Zenfone 3. My banking app won't open due to security risk of being rooted. You can try virtual xposed with at least few usable mods, but LG V10 getting warm due to Virtual Xposed running in the background, so I gave it up.

Hello there.
I've got a new tablet that's not "on the market" right know. It has two models, an old one with Android 7, and a new one with Android 9. Both come from China (obviously) and the OS is made on Portugal I think.
I have all the specs and also the stock rom for both of them. I can also get in the recovery mode and that stuff. I'd like to know if I can, somehow, have root access to these, using the stock rom or something. Of course I've tried the automatic rom stuff like Kingo and similar.
I can share specs and CPU-Z info if it's needed.
Edit: I don't know if this helps, but I'd only need to have root access from a certain app. Perhaps I can set it as system app editing the ROM?
Thanks! And sorry for my robotlike english level.

Now I currently don't have a pc I only have a chromebook and I will be able to get on a pc when the library opens back up.
But it seems that this device the LG Escape Plus on android 9, with a snapdragon 425 is not rootable, or atleast I can't root it with kingroot and other apps.
I want to install custom gaming roms so my games can run better and longer without over heating.
Any help on this is nice.

AFAIK it depends on its firmware version.
