Sprint LG Optimus G To Get Software Update At Launch OnNovember 11th
updates include:
Intermittent freezing/locking up
Intermittent device reset during YouTube playback
No power on due to Wi-Fi crash
Sprint ID icon randomly shows as Mobile ID icon
MSL protection for ##DIAG# should be on
Reply to All in email: Device was including the sender name, outside of normal.
Hidden Menus HW version. Version was not showing accurately: “1.0″ should be “10.””
1. can anyone confirm this?
2. does anyone know if this will affect / remove rooting
3. should rooting be done before or after the update
No idea, I was wondering this myself but I went ahead and updated anyway because it kept popping up.

I rooted my Optimus G, then applied the update. I lost root, but I simply used the same method again and I got root again np So doesn't look like it will hurt to apply it.

Super easy to do, easiest out of any phone I've had before.

One of the member said that there was battery drain on his phone after root. Can you confirm this?
easy peasy
super easy root *after the update*, even for a noob like me. rooting took about 10 minutes after reading the instructions. easy peasy.

I am getting pretty good battery life.. I rooted it right away so I can't compare before and after though.
OK so a bit of history...
I just sent back a galaxy note 2 n7100 to amazon (removed all trace of root)
Sent it back as I installed root and custom rom - managed to lose imei etc (didn't backup)
Even after the noble efforts of some kind forum members I could not save the phone
They have sent me a new note n7100.
I want to root it and back it up only. I can live with stock samsung rom
I don't even need cwm installed as the root is for a few certain apps and a cheeky overclock.
Is it safe enough to just root? Will I be able to unroot and update my stock rom?
Thanks
Dan
There are stickies everywhere with information on rooting. Only you will know when you are comfortable enough to root your phone. If you are not comfortable doing it, , don't. Read and study more until you are not longer afraid.

Yeah I have read stickies and such.
I was comfortable with rooting my galaxy s3 as I had no problems with it.
I just don't want to ruin my new note 2

I just picked up the Note 2 yesterday and looking to do the same . I came from the vibrant which had no flash counter or normal rom check . From what I've read cf root is most likely what I'm going to use but I'm not very familiar with this flash counter stuff . I'm on the jump plan and plan on upgrading in 6 months and I don't want my upgrade to be rejected due to flash counter and so on . An help is much appreciated .

I kinda think you have to root for firewalls, avast anti theft, no ads, also directory bind and increased sound Volume.
The root is pretty simple and there are enough guides to get your counter reset and indeed lose the modified tag. It worked for me.
Dr ketan has a few real good guides. Don't be scared. I've rooted four of these and now I've a custom rom too.

Rooting is a piece of cake. It's finding a custom Rom that suites you which is the real problem. It's like a jungle out there for us noobs.

If the gains you perceive from rooting (custom ROMs, Tasker/Titanium, nandroids, etc) outweigh your risk-aversion to possibly losing your warranty or damaging your phone, then don't do it.
Having said that, if you follow all the instructions carefully and understand the process, you should have no issues. I've rooted the last half dozen phones/tablets and it's been smooth sailing.
After losing my IMEI it took me almost 3 weeks to find a solution to my uprooted device, now that I regained the IMEI back I rooted it for the first time, installed the triangle away and returned the status to normal the counter was already 0. I've also noticed that the OTA update is functioning properly.
Found the correct thread and files and I've successfully rooted and have the unlimited multi window mod .

How come no one knows about Framaroot?
I use it to root; then freeze and uninstall apps with titanium and then fully unroot
Lol. @ agentfour20 Yeah I did see your phone show up as that on your posts but wasn't sure. Glad you got it sorted now.
Edit - ismo29 I know what you mean but I think this phone doesn't need a custom rom as much as most

Framaroot is OK for a last call. But the issue is that it still can open doors that normal rooting doesnt.
I use the prerooted stock with odin

If you r not going to root then u will never get the the real test of android.... Using stuck boring ROM everyday...bad idea...
Just root and enjoy the your android...
OK so I'm fairly new to xda. I know how to navigate a little due to the fact I have a nexus 7 2012. Other than that all of my phones have been prepaid and I usually would reside in Android forums. I'm not sure exactly which model number is the at&t variant for the g pro. Mines ships later on today and I want to get rooted and get a ROM on here really fast. Just wanted to know which ROMs were safe to flash and what not. The help would be greatly appreciated

Upgraded from a note 2 to a 3 and I'm loving it. I always root and are coming from jedi roms. Is the note 3 that noticeably better rooted? I've read alot of threads where people have many problems. I genuinely wanna root asap but are hesitant. Someone help push me over the edge to flash land

Ok. Let me push you over the edge. I had never considered rooting a phone until I got the note 3. I decided to root so I could customise the pen widow ap. It has been the best thing that I have ever done with a phone. Yes the note 3 can be a little temperamental when attempting to flash ROMS but there is a lot of support and if you need help pm me and I will help to get you going. Going to put in a plug here for my ROM of choice. JEDI ROMS are good but I have not found a better setup so far than X-Note. Any questions about it and I will be glad to answer. Don't let other people's problems change your mind about rooting. This is a must root device.
Thanks mate, is that compatible with tmobile. I checked thread and it looks pretty sweet. I liked the air command themes. I got some questions, I'll pm you

Totally worth it man. Very easy to do as well. Not only the customizations mentioned above but also aosp roms and such are wonderful. W03 Slim is fantastic!
It's so easy to unroot the phone and go back to stock, so you might as well give it a shot and see how you like it. Unless you're completely incompetent then nothing too bad should come out of it. I personally like having my phone rooted without any custom ROMS. But that's just me, a lot of others would say different.
I am hoping to unlock SIM for a t-mobile phone / region unlock. I understand I can do that by rooting it. Can I root and leave it with stock firmware, and will I get OTA updates? Also, is it safe and easy to unroot. IF it's unrooted, will they know it was rooted (i.e. warranty void?)
Thanks
Rooting doesn't void warranty either. I was skeptical too. Rooted on 4.3 and loving it.

Waiting for my phone. Hopefully it's still on 4.3. So can someone confirm I understand everything all this correctly.
I can root with Root de vega (if still on older firmware) and it won't trigger anything to void warranty. I just want to use region unlock to try unlock the sim/region. After that...I can either unroot? or keep it root. IF I keep it root...but I want the latest firmware (not custom)...is that possible? I've seen video about flashing the firmware from Sammobile with Odin which brings it back to unroot stock...but what if I just want the newest stock firmware without unrooting? Do I need some other recovery and flash something else? Will putting in different recovery cuz the warranty tracker to trigger?
Hi guys would disabling bloatware help with battery performance. I have seen people say they have improved their SOT by a good margin. So all i want to know is how do i disable all the bloatware to get amazing battety life?
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
Root, then install Titanium Backup and freeze the apps you don't want
I dont want to root the device. Im using battery saving mode from 100% to full discharge. However, i only get around 3 to 3.5hrs SOT. This is poor performance coming from 3000mah battery. On samsung devices you can use debloater without rooting device. How can i manage to do that to my G4

Sorry, no other way but root first

Ohk i thought there might be a way. Samsung users can do it without rooting. I dont want to root my phone because its still under warranty.

I root my G4 at 1 day of purchase. If anything go wrong I need to have warranty service, I simply unroot it without any track! So warranty is not my concern at all.

There is no such program. You need root privileges to remove system applications. That is true for any modern operating system.
However you can disable a lot of applications in Settings -> Apps, which has for the most part the same effect.

Anyway Android M will not be much difference with Android L. As an early bird to upgrade may not be better off. If rooted, I will follow the route using download mode to install 6.0 IMG or using TWRP to flash 6.0 IMG.
