Hi,
I am new to android and just received a hand me down phone from my brother.
There are problems when I am filling a text field therefore I cannot log in to any apps. Is there a solution for this or do I really need to root this phone?
If I have to root this, can someone help me? The easiest way possible?
I am not sure how to do this since most of the instructions are foreign to me and cannot understand a thing.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you and have a nice day ahead

Hello everyone. I've been trying to root my LG G2 for about 6 hours now. I've followed numerous guides and watched tons of videos. I am now stuck on a black screen with yellow text asking me to "send the package you want to apply." I dont know if this is a driver issue (in which case I am unable to find or install my devices specific drivers,) or if I have already ruined my phone..... if someone could take a few minutes and skype me so that I will be able to better explain / take instructiuon I would be very appreciative. I'm new to this and have rooted and installed custom roms on 2 other phones that were a cake walk so I figured this one would be as well...... oh how wrong I was. Anyway thanks in advance and pm me for my skype info or try to type instructions. Just hope I can keep up and follow correctly. I'm unable to use it while this problem persist so i'm trying to get this figured out as soon as possible. Thanks again!
This is the forum for the G3.
Dear all,
I am hoping to receive an explanation really because I am a noob. Because I am a noob I now have a softbricked g3, I think. I originally rooted my sprint model g3 with this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951 and it worked great, but when I tried to add TWRP I failed. I tried to add TWRP using another root method, this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...lick-root-twrp-recovery-t3072767#post59897602, with TWRP included. Now I am stuck with a screen that says Fastboot mode started and can't do anything. I found this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/tutorial-fixing-fastboot-mode-started-t2995854, that supposedly is capable of fixing it, but I don't understand what it is advising me to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Nevermind, after doing some more research it appears that there is currently no fix. I am just going to try and exchange it.
Thanks everyone
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!

You need to hold the power button and press normal boot
The as990 stock rom is http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/lg-g3-as990-firmware-as99010a-t3183928
SO I JUST TRIED TO ROOT MY DEVICE AND I DID EVERYTHING THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THE ROOT TUTORIAL PROVIDED BY THE PEOPLE OF XDA DEVELOPERS.
THREAD NAME IS .. [ROOT] TMO/VZW/ATT/SPRINT/INTL Root your LG G4 with Low Effort Root!
MY DEVICE IS HARD BRICKED AND WHEN I TRY TURNING IT ON, A SECURITY ERROR SHOWS UP AND IT SAYS AUTHENTICATION FAIL #11 ..AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS..PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASEEEE! ANY KIND OF HELP WOULD BE REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE IT. THANKS.
Phone is not hard bricked otherwise it would not turn on at all, sounds like soft-brick and needs factory resetting.
Go to here: http://www.androidexplained.com/lg-g4-how-to-boot-into-download-mode/ and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848 to get everything you require.
It will wipe your phone as factory, so hopefully you have things backed up before this occurred
