[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gimmilfactory:
Lol can you tell. I have only partial idea of what I'm doing? So it is burned into the lower level system, that i have installed a superuser app at some point? No way to reset that? It doesnt really matter to tell ya the truth, though.

I just want it rooted lol.

I'm going to make a kdz file for the at&t version of the g vista and possibly have the su binary pre-installed either way this should fix some problems with root

Just so everyone is aware.. xposed modules (specifically themers) are unstable on the Vista. tweaked my statusbar and began getting the error: com.android.systemui has stopped.

No i have been trying to root my at&t. It says i am root under firmware doenload only because i downloaded superuser to see if i was rooted or not. It just wont go away now that i downloaded the app simply; still havent had sucess at all.

You installed one of those to check if you were rooted. I think you need to clean flash from flash tool in order to get rid of that

No i didn't install a root checker, i checked from lg rct when you type in 3845#*631# in the dialer

All I have to say to this halt in discovery for rooting LG G Vista, is, kwqehk;lajhg;welkht;klwejht;kwehut;kjwhr;KWQJBD;KJE - we need AT&T root naaawwooooo.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macdofco:
I agree. I this is great phone, but unlocked on T-Mobile, it leaves a lot to be desired! No WiFi hotspot for one, and I really need to figure that one out.

Root would allow me to remove the At&t hotspot authentication ,from what I understand. If I could do that, I really wouldn't need root, I guess.

Root verification

I can confirm the root method (for the Verizon varriant) works without any issues. I did, however, have 2 downgrade to ver.10 from the recient ota update (ver.11) with kdz & update in recovery using an ext2 formatted sd card. I'd used this link to get the .kdz file to downgrade with, cant say if it's still being hosted or not. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxJSQZwN8gR8ajNKVGluTzFKemM/preview"]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxJSQZwN8gR8ajNKVGluTzFKemM/preview.

And if anyone has found a TWRP OR CWM Recovery for the VS880, plz post. I'd love 2 be able to make a backup as the stock recovery doesn't offer the option
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commac00:
Just use titanium backup to back it up. And there is no custom recovery yet. The g3s twrp may be modified to have work with it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jzee420:
Im talking about a full backup. system, kernel.... everything in case I happen 2 brick. Titanium Backup is an "after-root staple" so that, I have done.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lingo2012:
Ty so much its still on there im downloading now
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jzee420:
Not a problem. & just an FYI... not sure if it's how I used the kdz tool, but it kept giving me some issues right after I downgraded and rebooted. It wouldn't start my radio so I couldn't make calls or send text but I could get them. After letting it sit 4 about 20-30 min, booted up, the issues seemed to resolve themselves. It's working like a charm now.

*Also, to fix the SD card of writing issue, just add -

<group gid="media_rw" />

to the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE & ACCESS_ALL_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

sections of your "platform.xml" file found in /system/etc/permissions.

Should give access to write to external SD card or at leastbgive access to change permissions to do so. worked 4 me anyhow.

Unable to add 'update' zip after I format the card to Ext2 or ext4

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jzee420:
Use Mini Partition Tool to format your SD card to Ext2. Windows should be able to read it afterward which will allow u to copy/move the zip on to it. hope this helps

Windows does not support ext format read or write by default. I had to use a program called ext2fsd in order for it to read and mount ext2 partition.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
Yes it does, its hidden like how the G3's is, so we need a workaround like that in order to get into boot loader/fastboot.

I've doing some research on it and the errors us at&t users may be having has to do with trying to root before this and cause problems with the recovery

So if somebody wants to they can try this method that i found.

BACK UP YOUR DATA FIRST

this involves a dalvik wipe

WIPE user data + dalvik cache with the recovery

Flash the ROM Twice with the Recovery AND I REALLY MEAN TWICE

And then reboot if that fails i will try to find a kdz file for the at&t version
