I've tried everything I can to root this device. I've tried towelroot, kingoroot, iroot, stumproot and nothing works. I picked it up from Verizon when I signed up with them and I've spent over 15 hours reading forums and trying everything I can to root my device. I feel like throwing it across the room because its such a pain and unrootable. Anyone got any advice? The last time I used clockwork mods was over 3 years ago so I'm completely ignorant to flashing these days and most of the forums are above me. Fokes write instructions as if others have done this stuff 100 times. I'm not that guy, but I want this device rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Who ever gives me dumbed down walk through gets 50 bucks donated to them. I need to know from start to end. Talk to me like your teaching someone for the first time and I'll respect you with $50.00 bucks. I live in the Austin Texas area also. If you want to meet at a star bucks or something and show me first hand how to root it, I'll give you $100.00 bucks instead. But I want it rooted when we meet.
Before answering in further detail than my other reply (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64542883&postcount=28), you have access to a Windows PC, correct? Hopefully running Windows 7 or higher?

OKay for weeks now i have been searching ways to Root my HTC EVO I have been looking and looking maybe i am confused so now i see great methods to root the files are no good such as ginger breaks and other ways such you tube videos but unable to find a video who do play by play how to do a easy successful root method now i am currently S-on my Hboot is 2.15 and build number is 4.24 now i know unrevoked is not working since the update make a long story short if anybody has some of a method please reply in a nice way and don't bash me because i may not know this phone stuffed by i am geek in computers so we all have good things what we do best.
Put simply, 2.3 hasn't been rooted yet, they're making progress but you're out of luck for the moment.
Still no method yet, waiting impatiently, check the forums multiple time daily. I'm sure there will be an announcement when it available, so just keep your eyes peeled. Just rooted my wifes evo because she never accepted the OTA, now I'm drooling in jealousy.
That hurt my head

Well I have my HTC evo 4g fully rooted with unrevoked. What I did is I broke my phone and I'm under the black tie program with sprint. I called asurion to get my NEW AND UNUSED PHONE. They asked if I would rather it come fully activated. Or would I rather activate it myself. I told them I'd rather activate it myself. I paid the 100 dollar deposit and while Isaac activating my phone I stopped the firmware and software update. It only comes on the phone as an ota if you activate yourself. If they activation it you will be stuck where you are. After stopping the firmware update I was sitting at stock android 2.2 aka froyobwith hboot 2.10. If you're willing to spend 100 bucks to do this, it will come a lot faster than the HTC bootloader update or the developers hacking methods. No offense to the development team. You Guy do an amazing job. But yea, that's the way I did it. Then I rooted with unrevoked and am currently running cm7 and am extremely happy with improved battery life along many other things. Maybe this will help you

I agree with this. NEVER EVER EVER EVER LET SPRINT activate a phone. DON'T EVEN LET THOSE ASSHOLES TOUCH IT! Biggest mistake you can EVER EVER make! spread this around. :-D However!, I find it hard to believe on the "I called asurion to get my NEW AND UNUSED PHONE."
It might not be unused but it definitely came in mint condition with the froyo firmware on it so that's all I needed lol as of right now if you're willing to spend the 100 bucks its well worth it in my opinion. Good luck getting root guys ill see if I can't find a way to help the devs and the others working in the collaboration in the development section.

That is not necessarily true. My evo was destroyed in a car accident. Asurion sent me my replacement. I was hoping it would be 2.2 and denied their request to activate my phone. When the new phone arrived, it had already been loaded with 2.3.3. I didn’t even bother to activate it and ended up going back to my rooted hero for the time being. Getting a replacement phone is a crapshoot. There are multiple posts on XDA giving anecdotal reports of replacement phones. Most are shipping with gingerbread. Some still will have froyo. Some (very few) will come with S-off. Don’t assume that by breaking your phone and dropping $100 you will automatically be shipped a phone capable of being unlocked at present time.

It really depends on if the phone was made before the ota release date and whatnot. You cn request that it come with 2.2 instead of gb. This method may not work for everyone but I know that it has worked for the friends I have around my area. They saw what happened and wanted to try it and its worked for them. If you feel that its a longshot at getting the right phone
Then by all means stick with what you've got. I just was willing to try anything to get rid of gb. But now I'm running cm7 with a tiamat kernel and am very happy. Little side note: I actually didn't break my phone on purpose.

I see your method and point so I am in KCMO AKA Kansas City MO doing some research online and from Best Buy they have an HTC EVO for 99.99 in white Android 2.2 and even called them to confirmed but doing some thinking and playing around on the Android Market SPB 3D its Awesome since I cant root my phone but I pay the 14.95 that way my phone is not harm and I have my warranty still but i am sticking with SPB 3D
They just came out with the revolutionary root for gingerbread. Look in the android dev section and you'll find it. It works too. I rooted a friends phone using that method and he had absolutely no issues with his phone. Even though my usb cord had a short in it there was no problem with it that made it brick even though it disconnected multiple times. Id have to say that it is a very safe root method. So check it out if you're still interested in root

Can this be added soon for rooting roms etc? Phone will be out before end of Sept
I forgot to add "REQUEST" to this when it comes out?
2nd the request, anyone working on root for this? Does anyone know if the Prevail root works?
Im sure this will be rooted soon if its like the Fascinate or is it the other Samsung? I forgot which one.
Would it be safe to use the prevail root? I got the Prevail case for it and it fits perfectly, leading me to think it's pretty much the same phone...
In any case any updates on this, there are a couple of apps I need root for.
precedent performance
I am curios as to data perormance of this phone. I asssume it would be on verizon network as straighttalk to this point has been att or verizon.
It will be working off Sprint network
I looked up the specs on phone.....supposedly CDMA2000 1xRTT so a blazin double dial up speed!!! Wow!! I woulda thought they would have done this better but i imagine its that way for a reason.
Rooting
I would love to get this phone rooted. I did some digging on other forums and saw where one person "claimed" that the prevail root worked. I tried that root at least a dozen times to no avail. I'm thinking that maybe it has a NAND lock?

I have tried the prevail root and also did it by hand several times. I have used UNIX based OSes for years. The prevail root does NOT work. There is some kind of lock. I hope someone finds a rooting solution. I really like this phone and would love to be able to root it out.
Anybody know if a root is available for this yet?
im curious too. mine will arrive today and cant wait to hack it out. lol.\
Dodge Uconnect Compatability
Has anyone tried this, or has a way to try this with the Dodge Uconnect? They rarely update the list of compatable phones.
My wife has the Dodge Uconnect in her car and likes the Straight Talk plans. She has an E71 by Nokia and hates it, but it is compatabile with her car Uconnect system. Has anyone tried this phone wtih the Dodge Uconnect? I hate to buy the phone, pay $200 after the phone and one month plan just to find out it is not compatable.
Any information anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Samsung Galaxy Precedent Root - Fully Working!!!
Hey guys,
I've been following your threads on rooting the Precedent for a couple weeks now. Finally found the right one & process! Just rooted mine five mins ago and..... freaking awesome! Ran "Root Check" from the market - Fully verified root even under advanced check!
Just wanted to help you all out. Thanks nickcherski for the post and to all who contributed to this! XDA Rocks!!!
Quick note on step 7 & 8: You'll want to have the batch file already open, waiting for you to hit "any key" before you see the model number show up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17934522#post17934522
I totally agree this phone needs to be added to the list. There is root, Clockwork mod, and roms already out there. We need to get this a little more organized so this phone can get some development!
---------- Post added at 12:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------
also Straight Talk should be added as a cell phone provider
I posted some information to the wiki page. Please feel free to edit the wiki. Its a total work in progress for me. But from what im understanding to get full support on this site there needs to be a wiki

Has anyone found a proper root yet? I tried the Prevail one several times and it hasn't worked for me.
I'll just put this simply. I've got a splitting headache and I've been staring at various web pages for hours trying to (unsuccessfully) unlock the bootloader on my g4 so I can install twrp and root the thing. I'm about ready to kill someone. don't know who, nobody is around.
anyway.. I need a guide on how to transform my LG G4 US99120c US Cellular mobile device running Android 6.0 Marshmallow from a battery-draining eyeball-paining bright white piece of techno-trash into a rooted device with custom recovery that I can use on a regular basis without experiencing severe migraines because I can't delete stuff off the SD card due to carriers being pricks about released phones.
yes, I've tried google. Yes, I've tried searching the forums. If I hadn't done that already I wouldn't be posting here. please don't waste my time with "try the search feature".. I'm here because this is my last viable option for getting the damn thing working right. Please don't just link me to some random instruction manual either. I have bad luck with links.
If anyone does write me with help, write it for an idiot. Normally I'm pretty good at picking things up quickly but I seem to have come down with something the past couple days so I'm also a bit under the weather.. right around the idiot quotient.
I don't want to downgrade, I don't want to install half a dozen things or flash my whatchamacallit (got arrested last time I did that). I want to root the device, and possibly install xposed so I can change everything thats sharp white to a dull black. I do not want to do anything else at all but make calls, text, watch vids, listen to music and play the occasional game.
Thank you very much for your time, and a colossal chunk of gratitude for anyone who wants to take up this task.
FTR: I'm a former samsung user, so if you need to make comparisons I suggest using those. I'll understand 'em.

ill lay it on wasy for you......... you cant unlock bootloader. you cant install twrp and you cant root MM. not unless bootloader unlocked. wich your phone cant be unlocked..
root only on locked bootloader on LP.
there isnt a way and there will never be one.. to bypass and be able to install twrp..
well that explains why fastboot refuses to acknowledge the existence of the phone. I guess.
never say never tho m8, geohot should be proof enough of that for you. looks like I can't downgrade either.
guess I'll have to stick with my s5.

Hey everyone!
I am a complete newb. I promise I have been searching the internet for 4 hours trying to find a solution and I am at my wits end.
I have a Verizon LG G3 VS985 4G Android 6.0. This morning, I got a BSOD loop. Which, I didn't know was possible. I read about some 'trick' online where you take your phone apart (I can build a PC, and I am familiar with that aspect and I know the two are basically the same), take out the motherboard, heat it up and then let it cool. I did this. Then, I put the motherboard back in (without the SIM) and the phone started. It was doing an update for awhile and then it wanted to register my number so I put my SIM card in. I was doing this to try and make sure to back up things I really loved.
Well all of my pictures and contacts from the last year are gone. But apps are all there. Apparently the cloud has been full (I really never paid attention and was unaware). So I lost a lot of sentimental things. A friend suggested EaseUS but I need to root my phone. Four hours of stress... I have tried so many things (Stump, Kingo, Android Root, King Root, Towelroot, One Click Root) and they have all not been compatible with my phone. Can anyone help me a little bit? Unfortunately I'm a little bit of a whiny, sad female right now. Those pictures meant the world to me.
Thank you... Cheers.
Good
Look, I know I tried and failed miserably to get something going for the previous first generation Revvl, and I probably let a whole lot of people down... but after my recent successes with the Orbic Wonder and Vortex Synq, I couldn't help but try and take this on because it's too tempting
Like before, I don't have this phone myself (I'm on Verizon now), but if anyone has one and wants to see if we can get something going let me know and we can work together. Even if we can only get root access and maybe a custom recovery, that would still be better than nothing. Since my last attempt at the Revvl line I've learned a few new things and have a couple more tricks up my sleeve. I can't guarantee anything obviously, but if anyone wants to give it a shot we can certainly do so. I'm personally down for Round 2 at this point if any of you out there are
I found a couple at a local pawn shop for cheap. If you think you can get Majisk on them, I'll pick one up!

Depends how cheap, because there's no guarantee I'll be able to get Magisk on them. Not sure how the odds will be. If you're talking like $20 cheap then yeah go for it, even if it fails you can have a backup device to screw around with. Any significant amount of money, don't risk it.
Help
Anyone knows how to solve this
Is this dead?
I realize it's been a hot minute since this thread was active, but I have this device and if there was a way I could get it rooted it would be greatly appreciated
I just picked up a new revvl plus 2..I'm search of a successful root process either via an app or a Manuel breakdown on using my PC.. preferably PC tools ....I'm trying to get as much up to date info as possible any help in this would be great and appreciate..
Thanks for any help in advance.
i would appreciate a rom, too.
