Hey guys. Just got my new company phone after my skyrocket shattered. Can't stand the LG ui ... I want to root. My phone us owned by at&t..as an employee am I at risk to root you think? I'm familiar with root just not sure if it's risky since this phone isn't mine technically
If you know what you're doing and can back up everything for restoral later (CWM can help with this, of course), I don't see why you'd get in trouble for playing with your company phone. Just don't create more work than necessary for support techs and you should be fine lol. Also, you probably don't want to flaunt crazy customizations to your coworkers
Or you could always use Go Launcher Ex and other Go products

Ya I'm using adw right now with go locker. Still doesn't help me with the LG ui in every core app as well as the nasty notification icons. Any suggestions on how I can get those looking a little better?
As for rooting..I asked a coworker. He said I'd get fired Haha. Not sure how they would ever find out..
AT&T are parasitic leeches, they will find out. Trust me. They monitor the phones. I'd buy a Nitro off contract with a clean ESN and load it onto your account, that way you can say that it's your phone.

BUT, I would not risk getting fired. Try using a personal AT&T account.
Ya I'm gonna get a personal account when my sprint contract runs out. Anything I can do for notification icons? Or how hideous LG makes everything

No not yet as there is NO roms or ASOP stuff out for it yet. So rooting or not rooting ur still gonna have it
FWIW, I've worked for At&t for a year and a half, and I've rooted every phone I've had. They can't tell when your phone is rooted; I even have a couple coworkers that have flashed MIUI on their GSIIs.

Where do you come off with saying that AT&T will find out if your phone is rooted? Firstly, u don't seem to be on AT&T but instead on Sprint. Second, there won't be hundreds of forums dedicated to AT&T android phones if AT&T knows immediately if you root the phone. Third, millions of users Root their phones, and even unlock the bootloader. I just sent my unlocked Atrix back to AT&T due a damaged 3.5mm port, and they didn't even say anything. So please do not provide false information to those who wish to know.
Oh now I'm tempted.. thanks for letting me know. What are the advantages without custom roms? And did you Work retail or does that even matter. And is there a recovery image just in case?

There is a recoverory image I think. BUT theres nothing for us to REALLY do to our phones yet. no roms or anything
it seems to me that since you came here inquiring about the risk to your job, that there is indeed some % of chance that you could lose your job over rooting your phone, is that fair to say?
if that's fair to say, I think this is not the best place to seek job security advice + the answer seems obvious.
Ya its not worth my job. I'll just wait for my personal phone in a few months. Thanks for the help guys. That Guy who said he roots all his COUs got me thinking though
Hey guys so I caved and got the Galaxy Nexus the play store version as I saw the receipt I had payed 300 bucks for it as it is the 16 gig, and in like brand new like condition... Even the box was still newish like what ever that I is supposed to mean...
Now I have had the HTC n1 and the Nexus s and a slew of other phones...
I was gonna order the N4 but this bloody thing came with an otter box and a zagg screen guard... All for 300 bones...
Now this is what I need k I was fine with other phones but for some reason this suckered has me like confused...
I need too get this beast rooted and flashed up on some recovery software and what the best rom would be for this hand set and the best kernel as such I see a lot on Here for this phone and is going too need like crazy battery life and decent performance when needed...
If yeah can be kind as to direct me to all the best roms like the top 5 kinda thing and kernels and what ever else to make this phone the best that it can be... Also keeping in mind that I am in Canada in the southwest region of Ontario on the Wind mobility network so please be kind lol
Oh in other news I ran in to a guy on kijiji he had a slew of games and BlOps2... So I didn't believe and I met the guy and he showed me it and it was real as real can be... And had NukeTown 2025... Sweet eh... Just thought I would put that out there...

Yeah know I really enjoy this phone and such I just totally want it too go far for me.... I have a habit of buying lemons and so for I enjoy and nothing whacky has gone on yet... Still getting used to the Otterbox commuter case is a bit bulky...I also don't know if it is just me but the screens seems like dimish... I dunno what do you guy think good buy for 300 bucks...

then I will clear it up for you: don't point new users to a toolkit - will you help them when they f up because they don't know what they did (and neither do you)? do you want people to stay dumb or to learn how to do stuff and understand the process??

if they f up when i specifically said "read and then use it" then they shouldnt be messing with their phone in the first place.. rather than posting this useless post you could have tried to "point the new user" in the right direction.. and the toolkit is easy to use and explains what every option does, i could have told him to use adb but that would have confused him even more

it would be smarter to wait till november 13 and buy the n4 imo.. its newer, has better specs, and costs the same as the gnex

I am going to have to go with you on this one. If you read up well before you do anything it shouldn't be a problem. I have the motto of read 3 times then do just so you have a good grasp on what is going on. I was new to the ToolKit when I used it but after reading up and watching a couple vids on it, it was pretty easy and I had zero problems with the kit. I do however feel the need to tell people that if they are not comfortable or feel uneasy then you shouldn't do it nor should you try cause it can cause problems.
If you read up...
Read up on the guide stickied here.
Or in my signature.
There is no reason [zero] to use a toolkit on a nexus.

So it appears that foxfi stopped working again. Has anyone else on unlimited data had an issue this morning?
Sent from my SM-N910V using xda premium
Yes. Foxfi stopped working for me last night. Tried just about everything to get it to work but no luck... I hate it and im having to use pda net.. This where root would come in really handy
Here's a link for more info...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-killed-foxfi-tethering-people-t3253649/page3
Mine stopped working last nite
Yea not working here when I tried starting it this morning. Thought maybe it was because I set my SSID to F*ckVerizon and used 55GB yesterday .
Hope it's a problem with FoxFi. Using NoteII for now, really freaking nice having root...never again Samsung.
Confirmed. Mine is down also.
I've been wondering all day what's been happening. Sometimes it would stop if I went back and forth between the hotspot and the WiFi so I would do a reboot of the phone and all would be good. Not today. Really hope this can get resolved as like many, no root
Mine is also down.... my wife's s5 got blocked the same day.
Is this going to ever get fixed? Or should i look in to rooting? i NEED wifi.
Does anyone have any luck with Bluetooth Dun mode? I see it connect and disconnect. I believe the browsing works but netflix fails with an error code.
Foxfi live and well on Verizon Note 4.
Working for me as well. Verizon note 4

Good to hear it's back.
Don't even care tho, started using my Note2 while foxfi was down, and I'm not going back to that pos Note4. No root is intolerable any longer.

Did yall notice that VZ Upped our unlimited net plans by $20 per line though? We are now paying $49.99 for our unlimited web+email access monthly versus the $29.99. And this is irrevocable. They are slowly forcing us off this plan!
I am interested in buying LG X Screen (K500Y). Apperantly there is no root for it and also for other phones in this family. And there won't be any if someone won't have motivation to look for it. So here is the thread and the first donation. From me, 15$.
So if you own a phone from this family and want root, this is your shot. Don't ever give any number here if you are not gonna pay. I don't want to be responsible for bringing such flagrant acts. I can't run after people asking what they've promised.
But of course, I don't think this thread will even get replies yet alone amount to something. But you have to try in life even though the result is obvious.
I'll plop $50 down for the Boost Mobile X Power LS755
This phone is great... very much worth it!

Indeed. That's why I am interested in it. But seems no else is. I won't be buying it if I can't root it... Shame. Such a beautiful mid-range phone.
It's ONLY $59 bucks on eBay and FREE SHIPPING.. well worth it with its 1.8 gigahertz OCTA Core processor 2 gig ram mediatek chipset the Boost mobile version which scores twice as much as the GSM Cricket model in benchmarks.
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/131981455410

[/COLOR]It's well worth it even without Root I mean it's a quick little phone man and the battery lasts a long long time so well worth it even without root
Actually here says the app can root LG X Screen. Can anyone verify that?

........ the report adds that LG will wait until the Mobile World Congress trade show in late February to officially reveal the X power 2 phone. It is supposed to have a 5.5-inch display, a 13MP rear camera, a 5MP wide-angle front camera and a 4500MAH BATTERY!

If you want a root for it I could do it if I had the device or a way to emulate stock ROM on PC. Or if you wanna try to find a similarity list? I have extensive experience with these devices.
LG gpad v410, Gpad vk810, LG vs840 (Lucid), LG vs980 (G2) (Verizon)
LG exceed and all the like devices.
Also rooted an LG Lucky on Straight Talk :silly:
I could more than likely manage it haha.

Like put whatever $$$$$ you want towards a device guys between me and my bro upstate we would ABSOLUTELY manage it at some point, there is no way its totally impossible, even ZTE bricks from WalMart can catch the flu haha.

I don't have the device. I want to buy it that's why I started this thread. But like the phone itself its unpopular. Shame, such a nice phone. Sorry I couldn't help supplying you anything.
Might wanna wait and get X Power 2 supposedly coming out within next couple months which will come with a bit higher specs and 4500MAH battery

If not, still great phone without root and that is a very rare thing for me to say... I picked up the GSM version and it's just as nice and smooth even though antutu Benchmark is half of the Boost mobile versions score of around 23000 GSM Cricket model versus 43,000 Boost mobile version
I understand the whole (fine without root) thing that is exactly how I feel about most HTC devices, however I would go insane just because I know how LG's work the easiest lol, am currently on an s6 edge+ and I feel like im in another country, touchwiz sucks!

I would assume they replaced the Fastboot.img with a download mode -.-. & anything over Lollipop on LG is bootloader strapped down hard, I remember my Gpad v410, having to restore to KK just to root with KingRoot, then Loki patch twrp install, huge loop that was totally unnecessary

Phone is out today in their uk website, I've got that blueprint code, is it worth taking a bite? or would software leave me frustrated?
I feel like this might be a no-go because of the software. Everything else seems pretty great about it.
It would come down to how picky you are with software and, depending on how long you keep the phone, if you are okay with not getting an OS upgrade.

I have the chinese version, software has been working perfectly.. worried about the global rom being crap.. worst come worst serve can probably get away with just using the chinese rom + root to remove bloat apps.
Im on global, no problem at all with the rom, wich i tested almost every bit of it. Must have been fixed in update. Super smooth and blazing fast. Best phone ive had, and i had quite a few.
Do Not , I repeat Do not do it. crappy software. Dev community needs time develop stuff Custom ROM etc. not so much fan base to attract large number of Devs. so i say do not do it.
I wished i went with oneplus8 12 GB ram. for almost the same price. but what happened has happened . and Igot to live with it
Software is more than ok for now. No problems at all on my side i repeat, no problems at all ? guess someone didnt have the update ? Or received a lemon ??
