Every community behaves differently. It's bizarre.

I have both the LG Optimus 3D and the HTC Evo 3D. Both groups behaved radically different. The Optimus seemed more filled with ASL people, struggling to understand how to flash information, while the HTC folks seemed more concerned about custom ROMs. I'm not sure what causes the differences, maybe where the phones are marketed and familiarity with devices for the developers, but there are stark differences between the communities of each device.
[G3 Original Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
and while there may be something to this, all user on XDA need to remember, this site wasn’t created to be a “trick out my Android,” customization gathering ground. It was in fact, created to be a developer’s playground. Developers came together to share ideas and improve upon a platform.

Over the years, XDA has morphed into somewhat of a different face/experience. While many times there is a feeling of “us vs them” this is simply not the case.

Them~ (Developers) still have the basic desire… to develop.

Us~ (users) are now the majority with a decreasing thurst for development knowledge, but are more inclined to “want it fast and want it now.”

We all need to learn how to co-exist within this forum. While many tend to become impatient, waiting for the next greatest injection of wizardry, we simply need to wait! Posting “what’s the best rom for this device” or “why is a fix taking so long”, quite frankly, is far from being conducive. In many cases, developers will get caught in debate (arguments) with users on the extraordinary time and effort it takes to create what they do. Much to my chagrin, this normally falls on death ears and clearly slows down the entire process.

I must quote an excerpt from back in 2008

While the consensus is that this is still the case, XDAs tolerance has mellowed toward such bumptious behavior. This doesn’t suggest raiding a development thread (such as this) looking for answers, though for those that are so inclined, a greater tolerance will be offered. XDAs hope is that one day such a user will become the next great JesusFreke, jcase, thecubed etc.

XDA is still growing. There will still be much hand holding and guidance. We simply ask that you all take a responsible part in its ongoing growth. We all need to do our part in making it easy on fellow XDA users.

Thank you for all of the time and talent that goes into these roots. It doesn't go unappreciated.
[G3 Original Android Development] stargate125645:
I imagine it would. The ignore feature is quite important in online forums I have found. People who are smart enough to see through erroneous complaints and whining are probably also going to ignore the people starting misinformation. Your best bet is probably to keep this as something that needs to be done while hooking up to a computer; making it too simple brings in a larger crowd.

This is true. Although issues don't exist for this piece of software, I will point out that in general it does piss me off when someone charges a lot (relatively) for a pro version, and then bugs are prevalent and support is all but nonexistent (but I don't usually go on a smear campaign when I encounter this situation).

I've not noticed anything different between Samsung and LG, for example. Perhaps I'm not involved enough to notice trends like that, as I tend to get annoyed with people asking the same question that's been answered already 20 times and gloss over anything else they say. I see plenty of people taking on more than they can handle for every device (see the AppRadio Unchained thread, for example). I'll bet it is more what I said above where the ease of use of the tools plays a bigger role: I have never seen a rooting tool easier to use than Stump!

How can i help to add support for the AT&T LG G Vista D631 ???
[G3 Original Android Development] gpgorbosjr:
If you don't care about random diatribe/ranting just read Bold text in this reply.

I typed up a few different responses, but I'm going to go with the following:

I've owned at least 30+ devices from all the different manufacturers. I hope you remember for every annoying user there is one like me. I'm not a dev, but I love to tinker with my phone and unlock its full potential. I also enjoy seeing how the different manufactures work and how our devs get around it in different ways. For as many one click methods I've used in my time here I've been through 3 times as many follow steps x, y and z in terminal blah blah and never bricked a phone OR complained to a dev. Only thanks when I am done, even when the directions are confusing as hell or missing steps. I've spent days of my life following instructions on how to root, flash, and unlock a multitude of phones and it is my own little hobby just like deving for you is.

While I don't really care about these one click apps, I can follow instructions, I really hope you don't paywall root methods. I don't know how bad LG users are because I'm really not an LG user....I love to switch around...my G3 got stolen :( so I might just try and get a Nexus 6.

Anyway, maybe no one cares, and that is fine, but as one of the "non-devs" who actually tries to understand what is going on and will spend 3 hours troubleshooting what he is doing wrong (even when sometimes it is directions that are misleading, not so much now, but damn Motorola before Google was a killer) rather than cry and moan for answers, it kind of sucks to always see the argument going on between devs and end users. There is a crowd in the middle who just wants to have fun with their phones, and while they can't dev, are at least component enough to follow directions and troubleshoot on their own.

But....anyway the only reason I stopped by was to second a request for the LG Tribute (LGLS660) KOT49l.LS660ZV3 (firmware). I may have my Nexus 6 before anyone gets around to it, but the Tribute is a pretty damn good phone for $40 (Sprint pre-paid, think it is $80 on Virgin) so I'll put another request in now before hopefully some lucky people on Sprint realize how good this phone is for the price.

Anyway, thanks for your hard work. A Tribute root would be awesome whether it is through this app or not. Last Friday I got robbed for my phone/wallet so times are a little rough right now but I'll try and donate as soon as I can. I had a T-Mo G3 and was semi-stalking your Twitter before it got rooted lol.
[G3 Original Android Development] jcase:
I hardly find the cost of most applications, even our SunShine ($25) being a lot. Considering people have no problem paying $50 for a game, or $700 for a new phone every couple years (or far more often for many of us).

We have, and do provide continued support, via email or live chat.

[G3 Original Android Development] insideccw:
D858HK 10F same. Stump shows "Your device is patched, sorry." Purple Drake can not root it, either. Any solutions?
[G3 Original Android Development] autoprime:
solution is to stop taking OTA's or flashing KDZ thru LG PC software and expecting them to never be patched against public root/unlock exploits ;)

ioroot is patched pretty much across the board.. towelroot is patched across the board.. Stump is being blocked in all new updates and PurpleDrake is next on the chopping block. I believe the D858HK never worked with PurpleDrake so they haven't patched it yet.. just never supported to begin with in some phones :crying:

You'll have to downgrade using KDZ or TOT to a previously rootable software version then either not update at all.. flash custom roms only.. OR updating manually to avoid being locked out of root/unlock. Hopefully they haven't blocked downgrades yet in the newest OTA update.. it may be coming soon if not already.

every LG user who wishes to keep root and unlock options open I suggest they read my thread on how to block the OTA update file from updating your phone and how to download/install updates manually to keep root/unlock access.

Hi I have a T-Mobile LG G3. I rooted it with Stumproot when I first got it. Later it took an update to 4.4.2. I do not have root according to the apps or supersu.. When I open Stumproot it says "your device is rooted". Please help. I would love to get root back. Please help. :) Thanks!

[G3 Original Android Development] c4manceph:
[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] - I've been researching this for a while now and it appears that several people are using Stump to root these devices successfully while others are getting "Unsupported Device". Any ideas that you could shead on this would certainly be appreciated.

UPDATE - Ran the LG Support Tool (Recovery Update) and then ran Stump Root successfully.

Note: This device was fresh out of the box and had received the 4.4.2 OTA update prior to attempting root for the first time.

This seems to be a viable solution for those with VZW LG G Pads that are having difficulty rooting.
[G3 Original Android Development] skiiermike:

[G3 Original Android Development] Anthony825:
Yes I have rebooted, and installed SuperSu (Chainfire). The root checker I used was Root Checker Basic. It told me I didn't have proper root, however I downloaded another root checker from JRummy and it checked out just fine. I rebooted again just to make sure, and I definitely have root access. Currently looking for a list of crap I can freeze/remove with TiBu. Maybe it should be added to the OP that certain root checkers will say that there isn't proper root? That way people don't panic and start screwing with their phones and breaking stuff haha.

[G3 Original Android Development] autoprime:
the earlier versions.. A/B/C should work with ioroot or towelroot or stumproot... one of those methods should work...

anything after 10C is patched. everyone with Chinese G3 needs to downgrade to a rootable version.. then update manually to keep root/Bump.

see here: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412

Only issue is Chinese G3 needs TWRP. That should be coming soon. It's hard to support variants like these because users never come into the #lg-g3 IRC channel... so it's hard to keep up on the status of devices we do not have or hear about.

[G3 Original Android Development] teddy0209:
Bump your device and update manually, use link provided by autoprime above your post..
[G3 Original Android Development] markfm:
Things that already exist will continue to work fine. Root is used to add or tweak things.

The one recommendation I have is that if you have root, it can be important to freeze automatic over the air (ota) updates, as an ota might remove your root and patch things so you lose root going forward.
[G3 Original Android Development] arrigob:
I had issues updating to the new ota so I flashed back to stock. I then updated my LG G3 with the latest OTA. Now I am trying to find a way to get root back. Stump root no longer works after you move to the new ota version. Many have been able to apply the ota while keeping root.
[G3 Original Android Development] glaudrem:
For newer versions use Purpledrake-lite. Stump ceased working over v10C or so.
[G3 Original Android Development] arrigob:
I will give that a try but according to this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hs0qlcGP80gl9wC0r9bs0AWMD-1D9iGgC9ulCG9roMs/edit#gid=0, it wont work either.

Reporting another successful root of the Verizon VS985 running 10b (had to bruteforce it), decided with the new update they where trying to push it was now or never to root. so I rooted, installed supersu, backed up efs, installed xposed framework and g3tweaksbox and the cobalt theme and finally bought the pro version of titanium backup so I could freeze the update from coming in. also, is it just me or did rooting and being able to adjust governors (no-frills cpu tuner) just really wake this device up?
