HALP!! Real trouble rooting E971!! :( - LG Optimus G (International)

Recently bought a an Optimus G for a steal of a price an I can't seem to get it rooted using any kit I have found. It was Rogers and I've had it unlocked and put onto Koodo.
Give used several root kits from inside XDA and out and can't seem to get it done.
Is there a confirmed way I may not have come across to root on 4.1.2?

MrRobinson root method for US Cellular

A friend of mine asked me to root his S3 that is on US Cellular. I noticed there isn't a S3 forum for USCC. Does anyone know if there is a similar root method as mrRobinson's no trip counter?
Thanks in advance.

Just use triangle away to reset it

That's what I thought, thanks. But what ROM's can be used to flash for US Cell? Not much info what you can and can't do for that carrier

Any way to unlock for verizon?

I fixed a bricked AT&T note 2 that I got off craigslist but I have verizon. :banghead: I have a s3 now but really wanna use the note 2. Does the phone contain cdma hardware that can be unlocked through software modification? My verizon SIM fits into the slot so is there any way i can get the phone to connect? For example verizon iphone 5s can also be used on AT&T. What if i flashed the verizon firmware onto it? Any help at all? Or anyone wanting to trade? Haha.

Ugh. Has It ever been attempted or worth trying flashing the verizon radio/modem and firmware? Or is it seriously impossible?

What if you hard brick it to the point it can't b fixed. I would try and sell it since you fixed it. But first unlock it that way it'll b worth more! Then get you a Verizon model, I'm sure they're floating around out there somewhere!
You can try this method to unlock:

The note 2 is a very good choice I jave had zero issues with mine on verizon.

Do you use CyanogenMod on it? If so how is it? Because the sprint and Verizon note 2 cm10.1 builds are almost identical in bugs ect

Im Getting The HTC One When My Upg. Comes

Optimus > GS3 ?

So, my pal and I have considered swapping phones. He has an Optimus G and I currently have a GS3. Both our phones are little more than a month old.
Any of you regret going with the Optimus instead of the GS3? From a hardware point of view, seems the LG trumps my GS3. Development seems a little low in comparison, but that's not too important to me. Mainly I need to be able to USB tether. Is this an option for me? I know WiFi tether is, but USB?
Thanks for any input, options, etc..I appreciate it.

I have used the S3 before coming to LG OG and trust me you will not regret it. Just go for it! one of the best phones i have ever used. Not gonna change for some time now!
Thanks for the reply! Yeah, hopefully I can get this deal done.

I ditched my OG to get a GS4. Haven't regretted it for a second. The OG isn't a bad phone by any means, but the camera is just wretchedly awful by comparison. The GS4 has a much better screen too. If the camera isn't a big deal to you, though, the OG is still a surprisingly great phone.

True but I'm switching carriers soon so I really don't care I have at the moment. As long as it gives me texting and internet. I'm good lol.

I had the lgog the day it came out traded that for a gs3, then iPhone 4s 64gb then have that to my dad. I ended up with an iPhone 5 32gb on release date. I traded his iPhone for a iPhone 5 16gb now our contracts are up and are really getting Annoyed with the spotty coverage. So till December we switch to Verizon. Yea it might be pricey. But you get what you pay.

Well, obviously my deal with my buddy fell through, but I'm still trying to get an Optimus. Might have a trade deal set up for Saturday. Thanks to all who replied.
Sorry for the bump.

Sprint themes not available ?

I have g3 on Sprint maybe i am overlooking or Sprint removed it but can't find where to change themes at ? I found where to get the lg smart world app that works herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2500961
I even tried installing theme home from international and still can't find it... I think Sprint took it out

My guess would be that it can be done through Sprint ID, but I'm not really sure.
