I know the phone is less than a month old but has anyone been able to root this phone? if so what method did they use. I have the phone and for the price it is great I just want to take off all the bloatware.
This phone has been launched recently in the market. So brother I advice you to keep checking the rooting apps threads such as KingRoot, FramaRoot etc.

Hello guys,
Just traded my Galaxy S2 for a GN and am new to this phone.
Since i allready have android 4.0.4 IMM76I is there any need to root this phone?
What will it add or improve.
Please enlighten me with your extensive knowledge
Thanks in advance.
I still haven't rooted mine, after spending a couple years rooting and ROMing my devices. Love this phone bone stock.
Of course you should. Root gives you admin access to your phone. Do you own a computer and not have full admin access? Same situation.
Its up to what you can imagine and you can change it with root. Tweaks, theme status bar, system folder access, hide nav buttons, on and on.
root is a definite...flashing roms though, thats not entirely necessary since stock is still awesome
You should root it because it's a Nexus

The *only* reason I root is to install an ad blocker. The only reason I install custom ROMs is to get rid of bloatware. So for this phone, I rooted it almost immediately, but am still on stock ROM (Thanks, Google!)
Other people will give you other reasons why to root, but it'll all boil down to "I desperately want to [activity] but I can't if it's not rooted." If you have something like that, by all means root. Otherwise, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Because you can't use any of these apps properly without root:
Adfree
Adaway
Market Enabler
Quick Boot
Titanium Backup
Google Wallet (for those of us outside the U.S.)
Market unlocker
Light Flow
Call Recorder
Car Home
Chainfire3D
SetCPU
And, most importantly: StickMount
Hey everyone! I recently (yes, just recently :/ ) updated the Verizon Galaxy Nexus from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 this past weekend and I used the app "Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper" to keep root access while downloading the OTA. I didn't want to update to 4.2.2 but long story short, I did. I was unwilling to update since many people have had troubles getting wifi tether to work and I wanted to avoid that and keep running on 4.1.2 to keep wifi tether with no problems (Don't fix what's broken, right?). Well, I used another app "Root Checker" to validate my root access, and it says "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access." and I was wondering how I lost my root access in the process? Would anyone know by chance? I'm not too familiar with root anymore since I've had my phone rooted for over a year now using the 1-click toolkit that many people dislike. I was wondering what I should do next, in order to have root access once again. I don't want to run the risk of bricking my phone and having to pay big bucks for a new phone. Anything helps!!

Hello all,
I have recently purchased the AT&T LG G3 (D850 model) and I am interested in rooting it.
I have noticed that there seem to be three main option for doing this:
Stump Root, IORoot, and Towel Root.
Since this is a brand new phone, I was wondering if I could get some advice on what the best and safest way of rooting my device will be.
Thanks for any replies!
I think stump root is now the easiest way to root. Just install the apk and follow directions, install super su from play store and your good to go.

I just purchased my AT&T G3 last week and Towelroot is the easiest I was done within a minute. No problems so far.
I used stump root. Downloaded the app..followed directions. Easy as pie...

Ok, thanks for the replies, it looks like I will be using stump root to root my phone.
I just had a couple more questions.
First, I was wondering what can I use to achieve a custom DPI on the phone once I root it? There aren't any ROMs for the D850 so it won't be in any ROM,
Next, if I transfer my Titanium Backup data from my last phone to this one, can I restore my apps and appdata with it?
Thank you!
Hi everyone i have a problem regarding the root of my android phone. Indeed it's a J2 prime smg532g model and i couldn't root it after having used nearly all the roots app without using computer.

Also, i am gonna buy a new android phone in case i can't root my actual phone, I wanted to know who are the best phone models for rooting successfuly (using one click root apps like kingroot, kingoroot, iroot etc...) thanks for your help
Hello all,
I recently purchased this phone as a secondary phone. I was trying to find a way to root it, but it seems as though it is not supported by any current root method. I wanted to know if there was a way to root this phone that I am not aware of, or if there is any chance that one could be created in the future. I am looking to root this, since it is inexpensive(under 100) and can run android 9.0(with octocore and at least 2GB RAM). Am I wasting time in trying to get this rooted? If so, which root should I go?
Thank You,
NewBlu
I was also looking to root this phone. Pandora keeps crashing and I'd like to view it's program files.
