After 3 weeks I finally accomplished to root this phone. I have put everything and every guide on Dropbox at the moment I am making a ROM for this phone which will be released soon. If anybody can help me out please post reply on this thread. the Rom most likely will be ported from CyrogenMod and you will not have to worry about losing you number I will have the setup wizard so you will be able to retrieve your phone number through the Verizon customer service a may ask if you have an existing number just press 2 and it will bring you to Verizon customer service when they ask just tell them this is a new phone my old cell phone was stolen because If you tell them something like I rooted my phone they may not help you retrieve your number if you need any more help just ask.

HEY THIS IS ANDROID ADMIRER HERE WITH A GUIDE TO ROOT THE ZONE

1. DOWNLOAD THIS ROOT PACKAGE

www.dropbox.com/s/y3w8kk4cdgj5eiy/Root for Optimus Zone.zip

2.extract it to whereever you like

now

4. Connect-up your LG, put it in debug mode. Check in "Devices and Printers" to see if the device installed properly. If it did not (yellow bang) then you will need to right-click, choose the first yellow bang (hardware ID in the properties should match the above), and click "Change Settings" then "Update Driver".

5. If you have to manually update the driver, you may have to go about it the long way. I had to click "Browse my computer..." then "Let me pick from a list..." then "Have disk..." before browsing all the way to the Universal ADB folder, plus I had to click "OK" through several warnings.

6. Once the ADB USB drivers are installed, turn off debugging on your Optimus Zone. Leave the USB connected.

7. Start SuperOneClick 1.7, choose "rageagainstthecage" in the top right, and click "root" on the left.

8. When "Waiting for device" shows up, turn on debugging on the Optimus Zone. Let SuperOneClick do its thing (takes a few minutes)

9. Once everything looks done run the test. Now, disconnect and power cycle your Optimus Zone

10. SuperUser may not work; simply update it from playstore

i hope this helps
[Android General] thepcmrtim:
Finding the device ID depends on your operating system. If you're in a recent version of Windows, you can just connect the device, then locate the non-working device driver in "Devices & Printers", right-click on it, select "Properties", go the the Hardware tab, select it in the list and click the Properties button, go to the Details tab and choose "Hardware IDs" property. They will appear in the box on that dialog.

Help

Thank you so much for this. I am having a little trouble installing the driver. When I follow your directions, I am told that the file is not compatible with Windows for x64. Any thoughts on what I have done wrong? This is my first attempt at rooting, so please be gentle ;)
[Android General] theusualuser:
I could use help, too

I've got all the files (first rooting of an LG device, or a Verizon phone), but do I need the SDK installed as well? I'm only asking because inside your Universal ADB driver files from your dropbox, I'm not seeing anything that I can click to install. Am I missing something and just being a complete noob? Probably, but any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Any Luck?

Hi I need a new phone and Ive found this phone for $19.99. I have very little cash so I would like to use this phone. Ill need to use it on page plus. Did you ever get this going? If I can root this phone will I be able to unlock it and use it on page plus? When I try to download this file Iam told I cant because "Root for Optimus Zone is unsafe to download and was blocked by SmartScreen Filter"? Anyone know what's up with that?

My Fix

My fix for it was to download the package at the top and copy "su-v3" and rename the copy to su-v2. Idk how smart this was but it worked xD
[Android General] aicitman:
Apparently, the su-v2 file was left from the package (although a v1 and v3 were included.) And for some reason, that's the version of su that's supposed to be flashed. I've never used this hack, but you could try renaming the v3 to v2.

Also, by now, there are easier root methods available, such as Framaroot, which probably would also work.

(By the way, there's no reason a one-click installer needs administrator access on the computer. It only needs access to adb, which itself doesn't require admin access. Something's fishy here.)
[Android General] clepperM:
Can confirm that after several failed attempts, renaming su-v3 to su-v2 worked. Thanks!

How to Root Verizon LG Optimus Zone 3 VS425PP with Kingroot – LG Optimus Zone 3 was released by working with one of the United States operators namely Verizon in January 2016. LG Optimus Zone 3 comes as a smart phone with Lollipop Android platform with quite affordable prices. LG Optimus Zone 3 is affordable for the entry level, but the specifications of the LG Optimus Zone 3 is also quite good. With the interesting specifications of 4G LTE connection, performance is fast enough and quality camera. LG Optimus Zone 3 is available in the United States through Verizon with two price options ie contract and non contract.

Specifications owned by LG Optimus Zone 3 comes with a screen support that is not too broad but also not small ie 4.5 inches. The screen uses a TFT capacitive touchscreen display panel with color depth of up to 16 million colors. Unfortunately the price tag of the LG Optimus Zone 3 is quite affordable still offers a low resolution of 480 x 854 pixels FWVGA combined with TN panel (Twisted newmatic) which is still able to provide clear and sharp display screen with screen density up to 218 ppi per inch screen. In terms of design, LG Optimus Zone 3 comes with a plastic cover support that comes in black. The design is fairly simple with the right dimensions in the hand grip that is 66.5 x 131.8 mm. While for the thickness of the LG Optimus Zone 3 itself is 8.89 mm with a light weight of only 113 grams just so it still feels comfortable when used.

Hi all. ...This major rookie needs help...

This has probably been asked 1000 times & beaten to death but after searching for about 8 hours today not including last night, I can't seem to find topics that completely match my STOCK ROM, Unlocked, but NOT yet rooted TF700t tablet. I stopped going forward with this when the MOTOCHOPPER installed failed after 7 or 8 attempts. <== I don't care for this any longer. I care about the following.

Has anyone found a way to relock the bootloader, if this is even possible, on the ASUS TF700t running the stock JB 4.2.1 ROM V10.6.1.14.10 US edition?

BTW, I used the Unlocker found on the AUS support website V8_For Andorid 4.2.x.

- Help. I don't want to continue in an unlocked mode if all I wanted was to root my tablet to then try the Android 4.3 with CM10.2 Custom ROM.

If more info is needed ask away.

Thanks.

[Asus Transformer TF700] JoinTheRealms:
Not possible, even if a method appeared, Asus has your tablets serial number listed as unlocked on their servers so it wouldnt matter.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Don't give up yet! It is worth it to go through some trouble, learn some new techniques to run a custom rom. And since you unlocked and lost your warranty anyway, it would be a pity if you didn't take advantage of your new possibilities.

10.6.1.14.10 is not rootable with Motochopper anymore. Asus plugged the leak. If you want to use GooManager to install the custom recovery TWRP, then yes, you need root and you would have to downgrade to firmware version .8 to to do that.

But there's an easier way: You can use Scott's tool to push TWRP to your tablet via ADB

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1938129

For most people the hardest part is to get the correct drivers installed on their PC. The rest is easy.

Once you have TWRP installed you can flash CM or - shameless plug for my favorite custom rom for the TF700 here - you may want to consider CROMi-X, the most stable, best supported, and getting-more-versatile-by-the-day ROM out there. It's based on the JB 4.2 stock rom, only much, much, much improved.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2425383

If you are looking for a 4.3 based rom because you are disappointed with the stock rom's performance, you would be surprised. CROMi-X unleashes the potential of this tablet.

No - I'm not getting paid for this :D

I'm just a firm believer that a rom based on the Asus firmware designed for this hardware will always be more reliable, more stable than any rom build from the ground up. Just MHO naturally.
[Asus Transformer TF700] suzukii:
I agree. I'm going to move ahead with this & try the CROM way this weekend.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyltha:
Can we assume you don't want to go all in and install TWRP and a ROM like Cleanrom 1.1? Do you want to keep it completely stock, just with root?

Since you're rooted, I would at least remove the so-called bloat apps put there by the carrier by using a script that will remove it. That would be found in the development section of the G2 forum.

Better yet would be to install TWRP and then go for CleanROM 1.1 which does the debloating and much more.

In addition, there are a few UI tweaks that are nice and can be found around the forums. I suggest poking around these forums while it's still small and seeing what might strike your fancy.

To recap:

1. Root

2. TWRP --> then good idea to backup

3. CleanROM 1.1 or at least a debloat script which will remove junky carrier apps

4. Remove softkeys

5. Tweak UI stuff ( remove brightness slider/volume slider/shrink notifications/navigations/ that sort of thing ) -- search forums for the tweaks you like

6. Turn off Carrier IQ -- there is a thread for G2 that shows how

7. Xposed Framework -- not totally necessary at this stage but why not take a look, eh?

For myself, the first six are a must. But, the first five I recommend since you already turned to the dark side by getting rooted. :highfive:

If any of this is too vague please read some basics, do some googling, then ask some questions in the appropriate sections of the forums.

Good luck and have fun!

Hi everyone,

Just got my G2, D802 today. It got released in India, the country I belong to, today. The phone is brilliant, no doubt about that. The first few things negatives I have experienced in the first couple of hours of use are:

1. The phone earpiece is not up to the standards of a flagship, its week.

2. The same has to be said about the phone speakerphone.

I'd love to hear the experience of everyone else using the device.

I'd like to root the device & get rid of the bloatware as well.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeph_syk:
Congrats for the phone, where did you purchase it from? which model 16/32 and how much did you pay for the same? What Bloatware are you talking about? can you name few, since it is a international variant and not carrier specific, i wonder what bloatware could be added.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinavsg:
Hi Buddy,

I am from Durgapur, West Bengal. Purchased the phone from the Distributor directly who billed the phone to one of his dealers who in turn billed the phone to me. The phone is 32GB Version. I paid INR.42300.00

By Bloatware I mean the unwanted features/apps for me like the LG Smart World app, Slide Aside feature & then the QSlide feature. I want a minimal ROM on my phone so that I can enjoy maximum free RAM & system resources which are you know eaten up by these apps & features.

Basically over the last few weeks, no matter what i set my ringtone to, whenever someone calls me it re-sets the ringer to the default setting.

I can't for the life of me figure out what software (although i suspect calledID) is changing this particular value. It would be useful to log what changes are made and when so i can corector remove the offending program.

OK so the error with my phone is that it wont recognize my mp3 files, only in the Power Amp music player , its not being to play anywhere else not even the file manager. Also my Youtube wont work anywhere ive tried to download many applications to see that would make it work but it didnt

the browser wont play them there either, and lastly for example instagram wont play videos also they just show up as played but i cant even view them in the 1st place.

Im rooted and i have CWM Recovery but im not boot unlocked every time i try i have failed

So i tried to update from 20d to 20f too see if it would fix the error but sadly no luck and body have an idea what can be the problem

ive installed a theme on it and thats about it so i havent really messed around with any system setting.:confused:
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Ilxaot:
I had this, it was related to an init.d mod I flashed :P Best bet, in all honesty, to keep things simple? Flash KDZ :/ It fixes it. Just make a folder on your phone or a text file in Memo or something to write down what you need to reapply after the flash. It'll work, I promise. Happened to me like twice. Also, your Bluetooth is screwy, I believe GPS has become a tad less pin-pointed, and your Camera might not work. :p At least that was what happened with mine. Oh, and you randomly lose connection for a few seconds every few minutes. Again, only if you had it the way I did.

Best of luck, Kudos, and God bless!(:
