Hey thanks for reading my thread.
I am wondering if it possible to root mt3gs directly from the phone its self?
if someone knows of ever heard of this. Please help. I thank you in advance for any advice.
I think Chiefz was able to do it ... but it didn't sound like a procedure for the casual rooter. If it is possible it requires a solid working knowledge of the system files via terminal and an app such as root explorer to pull it off. I'll try to locate the post (might have been a tweet).
Using a computer and the various rooting methods available for the slide it is quite easy to achieve root.
Moved to Q&A as not development.
I am trying to root my phone using this method that requires usb drivers. But I am having troubles getting my computer to see the phone.
I later came across a program called visionary+ can I just select Attempt Permrootnow? Will that do the trick?
If it works how to I install a custom rom after that
Stick to Rage method
Visionary may work but many people had issues with it. I am very new to this, and I used the rage method. Look for the thread (here is the link) that guides you though it. I had issues understanding how to use adb, but the guys here on the forum were very helpful in guiding me through it.
This was my thread with help I received...it may be beneficial for you.
I like the rage method bcs I learned a bit of to do things on the phone without having to have someone automate it all for me. Give it a try it's not really difficult once you get a few things in order.
Good luck, and if you get stuck just ask, people on this forum are always willing to help.

Hello,
I have an LG G3 AS990 (Ntelos). I would like to root and flash a different ROM, but am having trouble finding my variant as Ntelos is a smaller carrier. Does anyone have any advice on compatibility between any other variants? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
I've continued to search, but haven't found anything. Just hoping someone may have some information.

I've been researching this as well. You could try finding the beta version of CM for Sprint's LS990. I would try it just for the fun of it, but I'm nervous that I don't have the stock rom for AS990 to revert back to. I have my system backed up, but I'm not comfortable enough to rely on that to save my phone if I brick it trying to install CM.
Bump. I have the same problem here, except that mine got pushed an OTA patch that prevents stump and others. So far no firmware I have found is compatible with this device to even downgrade in order to root in the first place. If anyone has succeeded with as990 NTelos please help.
Bumping the necro in hopes of support. XD my software says as99020a but the writing on the back under the cover says us990... So I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do especially since I can't even find a place to download the firmware for manual updates.. Etc. :-[ Damn ntelos
AS990 Recovery?
Has anyone found a recovery that works with the AS990?
I have an option
I've posted a way to use TWRP and ROMs for the LS990 on the LG G3 subreddit, I need 10 helpful posts before I can post it here because I have a few xda posts and downloads linked.
AS990 experience
Hi all,
I have tried different roms on my as990 (Carolina West Wireless) by using the method on reddit (HERE) and everything works just a few things to keep in mind
To get your sim to work on a custom rom you may need to change the build.prop ro.build.target_operator=, and ro.afwdata.LGfeatureset=
Take note of these settings before you try to reflash the phone. If you change one, change both if applicable.
Remember to backup your old build.prop
Backup all apns before you start using method found (HERE)
Backup build.prop
Oh and did I mention backup build.prop
The restore files can be found (HERE) and use the guide found (HERE) replacing the files mentioned with the ones in the post. If you use this method to restore you phone, the build.prop from the reddit post will not work so use the old build.prop that I'm sure by now you have backed up or you will have to get the custom .dll file elsewhere to restore.
For all who have taken the ota update, the restore method works for that too
Your carrier files are automatically restored if you use the firmware in the above post. That is to say they were for me but if anyone else test this
no guarantees but it did work flawlessly for me.
Also I am currently working on a recovery for AS990 if anyone has any ideas feel free to chime in
A couple of side notes
The method by tybskinner may also work if you flash to US990 as well, but I have not tried this yet. To do so you would need the custom .dll or the build.prop for US990
Users have reported that SIM unlock is possible by changing the the build.prop ro.build.target_operator= to global or open however I have not tried this yet
If anyone has a method to change the PRL on the device please let me know I have tried several options but no method I have tried will allow the PRL to stick
P.S. not trying to steal your thunder tybskinner just making it easier for people to find the links
Thanks for the info guys. At this point I'm having issues just trying to root the thing. Lost root with Lollipop, and for some reason I cant seem to regain it. Oh well. The price you often pay for having a smaller carrier (I actually work for nTelos, so its my work provided device).
Thanks again. I hope you guys are able to get yours setup the way you like. :good:

Currently there is no root method for the AS990 device on the newest ROM however if you follow the guide posted you can downgrade to the previous version and go from there.
Have a look here...I found a way around the whole super secure as990 crap
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/how-to-as990-custom-recovery-roms-t3216133
It may seem like a bit much but it works like a champ!

I need help installing TWRP on my device, and rooting it, i have tried multiple methods, like the useless no pc root tools, and programs, i have trying to root it for a while, but no luck. I have already posted a thread on this, but it didnt worked, or i didnt knew how to make it work. Here ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/asus-memopad-8-me581c-root-t3426666 ) is the thread i posted, with useful info that could help you to help me root it.
I´m really asking for a step by step tutorial or something, because i tried to use other tutorials but no luck.
Hello everyone,
I've tried for days now to root my Note 4.
I'm pretty much at my wits end and have scoured the internet for answers.
I've tried at least 10 different guides if not more.
The issue is that I can never get the initial temp root to work.
Kingroot and Oneclick root have tried multiple(like dozens) of times and they each eventually tell me that there is no solution or whatever for my device but that i can request it.
I've tried running the root apps on the device and from the pc.
Yes I used the eMMC checker and my code starts with 15
I've tried with the sd card in and out.
I was able to roll back to 5.1.1 which is where i have been trying.
Is there another version that is more easily rootable?
Have all the root exploits been patched or something?
Thank you for any help/insight in advance.
this tutorial did it for me
Hello everyone.
this is my first post here and i would like to share my experience with rooting..
i don't have privileges to include outside links yet so you are going to have to search...
user Bobby8451 has a youtube tutorial. (search the forum or youtube)
i tried probably a dozen times with other tutorials but they didn't do it for me. i ended up bricking the phone and having to use verizon's recovery to get to stock and start all over again.
above tutorial has all the files needed in one package and step by step instructions that are VERY detailed.
there is a part 2
once you are done with part 2, you should search for the latest modem and twrp and you should be set.
