Yes, same issue here. Can someone post a request in the Stump root forums?

Requires more posts then I have.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macdofco:
Please post a request for root for LG G Vista for me too!

Ditto:o
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
posted in stump forum.. just have to wait and see what happens. also if you guys haven't already post in the request forums topic to request a forum for this phone, as i still have no clue why there is none as its a great phone
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macdofco:
Thanks! I have requested a forum for this phone already... Twice, actually!

It IS an awesome phone! REALLY, HUGE screen with incredibly small bezel... Screen to phone ratio is outstanding.

Unlocked on T-Mobile, though, it can't wifi hotspot. PLUS, it would be nice to get rid of ALL the bloat! Way too many At&t apps running on this thing!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
yes way too many bloat... need to find out if bootloader is able to unlock or if we are out of luck like certain versions of the G3.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscutta:
It can already install apps to the sdcard
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macdofco:
Yes! I forgot to update my post. I was very happy to find that, at least. Now, I found that I need root to stop AT&T's wifi hotspot authentication so that I can run wifi hotspot on my T-mobile account.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscutta:
When I'm able to I'll request support from stumproot devs

I really need root so I can start using scr screen recorder again
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
Request was already made just matter of waiting now
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macdofco:
When it comes to rooting, what makes one phone like another? Is it the cpu and gpu combo (ie. Hardware)? Or Is it having the same OS version and hardware combination? Is it the carrier specific locks?

I'd like to know a little more so that I can search for other similar phones. (ie. Hardware-wise, the new T-Mobile ZTE ZMAX is similar to my AT&T LG G Vista, for instance)

Thanks for all your hard work!

I rooted the lg g vista with IOroot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macdofco:
Did you lose any data in the process?

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

Which version of IO root did you use?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscutta:
No
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macdofco:
So I tried IOroot and I got an error message attemptimg to side load: Device Not Recognized.

Which version of IOroot did you use, exactly?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscutta:
You must be having a driver error try installing your device adb drivers and reboot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macdofco:
I thought I had done that. Where can I download the correct device adb drivers for the G Vista (D631)?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscutta:
The drivers don't support the device in adb side load mode I rooted mine in linux:good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macdofco:
I have never used my Linux system when working on phones. Honestly, I rarely use my Linux system these days! How would I use Linux to root this phone using IORoot?

Thank you for your help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottcro123:
I also have an Ubuntu laptop I hardly use.

Mind posting some more details / steps?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscutta:
Just follow the instructions.txt inside the folder all I did was run the script

But you could put the datroot.zip file on an external sdcard and rename it to update.zip

And then use ioroot to get into recovery mode and install update from external sd

Tell if it works.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macdofco:
Mine did the same thing! It wouldn't unpack the stuff, but I waited approx. 10 mins, then I unplugged the phone and took out the battery.

I then attempted the entire process again, but when I entered the Download, it indicated that my phone was rooted (little red colored Root) where it had previously said Unrooted in green.

I simply moved on to the rest of the instructions, and viola! My phone is rooted!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscutta:
Well all's well that ends well

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gimmilfactory:
HOLY AWESOME YES!

Fully confirm that it works on my LG G Vista AT&T Variant. I am 100% rooted.

I must give my sincere thanks to all the leet person(s?) on the interwebs, for making this possible.

[MENTION=5343021]bkman08[/MENTION], if I can figure out how to do it now that I am rooted, I will post it later when I get off work at around 12:30AM the 25th EST.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
alright sounds good hope to hear back from you :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
if you can go in and check what firmware version it is i might be able to figure something out, then name of the whole firmware update.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gimmilfactory:
Derp you are speeking too leet for me I guess. By firmware, do you mean the build number? That is K0T49I.D63110b

I have no idea how to make a kdz, or even if its possible. I know only bash and shell, not android and hacking it ;D.

I can figure stuff out and what not, but any help pointing me to if this is able to be accomplished and how, would speed up everything lol.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoubleDogg6:
Fastboot and Recovery?

Has anyone figured out how to boot into Fastboot yet? I think there might be a way, but the support I talked to at LG didn't know how to unlock, told me to contact Google. Is anyone working on it? I'm not sure how I would go about starting.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
booting into fastboot is probably the same of that as the G3... as in having to remove some kind of security that was protecting us from accessing fastboot.. again i could be wrong
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
If someone can figure out how to turn the phone on safe mode without having the phone on I might be able to completely fix my phone without the need of a kdz file
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscutta:
If you mean recovery then i could help with that
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
No as in booting the phone up in safe mode. Safe mode disables all 3rd party apps and makes it so that you are basically running stock .. so you can easily root the source of any issues you are to be having. If i can boot into safe mode, i can correct any mistakes
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscutta:
Wow never even knew such a thing existed maybe because none of my devices bricked
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
not even for a brick but if you install an app that causes a bootloop, boot into safe mode to uninstall the app, therefore removing the bootloop
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscutta:
I tend not to install apps that can do such things so thats why
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
and you sir, are the smart one lol

And when i do install such apps i always check for reviews of it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
Im just stuck in a bootloop that just boots to recovery, phone is recognizable in download mode, hence why i was asking for kdz. But if we can somehow find a way to boot into safe mode i might be able to fix it via that way.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscutta:
Do you remember what apps you installed

Just hold power plus vol -

Let go of power when you see lg logo

(But keep holding vol-) then quickly hold it again
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
I have tried that and i just keep bootlooping into recovery... and i try to wipe cache and data from recovery as well and nothing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscutta:
Then its definitely not an app you have most likely gotten the first bricked g vista congrats you win help from xda
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
Its not bricked if it was bricked it wouldnt boot up at all. I just need stock .kdz for at&t and might have to wait until we get next update if we even get one..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscutta:
We are getting one its confirmed just dont know when
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
good news... hey since you can get into recovery... do you have adb drivers working in recovery?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscutta:

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------

I think so why?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
my phone cant be recognized when in recovery... maybe im using outdated drivers and what not... give me 10 minutes to see if i can get it to work or not

[MENTION=6063753]dscutta[/MENTION] no go, still cant get phone to be recognized by adb, going to try to setup linux dual boot and see if i can do that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscutta:
I dont understand why lg hasn't addressed this
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
it would be nice... also to know an exact eta period of update :/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscutta:
And if not q1 certainly q2
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gimmilfactory:
Again if someone shows me a proper tutorial/their own way of making a kdz image(if that is possible), I haven't touched my system at all besides a root, so I can make one for AT&T.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handygeek7:
Not at all.

I've searched and searched and asked in multiple forums.

No one has shown any evidence that anyone anywhere is working on the bootloader or a custom ROM.

The response has been that developers are working on phones they own.

On mod sites there's evidence of active development all around the VS880.

Do you have knowledge of anyone actively working on the Vista?

It's a nice mid-level phone which Verizon is promoting via their Edge program.

I bought the LG G Vista/VS880 with the hope of a custom ROM.

Sure would love to hear/read some fact-based good news.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handygeek7:
My Verizon LG G Vista just popped-up a "System Update" request.

While I patiently ... not ... wait for a kind person to post a custom ROM would it be wiser to not run this - or to go ahead and run it?

I've read past threads about other devices where users had to roll-back system software before they could proceed with a custom ROM install - because the latest updates had intentionally tried to block rooting and/or custom ROM's.

WDYT?.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaggyTech:
I think waiting is best. I've come across a few phones that you can't roll back far enough to say unlock the boot loader. Until a method is found. Stick with the old firmware. You can always update later.

Uhhh... *scratches head* 0.o? I'm confused. I have brain farts on occasion. But I'm pretty sure I said it WOULD work. Then showed proof OF it working... But I didn't replace anything. Was no need. And "vista specific" just meant most would turn up no results searching for a vista root. But make a thread and I guarantee it will receive many Thanks. AND I imagine our methods of G3 roots are different. As I previously stated I replaced nothing and or changed nothing. I have the att G vista. And the Cspire as990.110a G3. Which is a pain recovery and rom wise. But as far as most things I'd care to do.. xposed and other mods Allow for all I'd do in any case.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] An0nYm0u5.bat:
in all honesty.. unless you know beyond all reason that it will be absolutely no development done with your specific device, I'd NEVER take an ota. Now if you'll never see device specific development.. then by all means, ota everything they send. Lol. Point being. If you want the options Of custom rom, kernel, recovery, etc. Then save and buy a High end device. As usually development is going to be focused there.. But if you go low end and It's not your thing. Take your otas. Rule of thumb to Always remember... OTA/DEVELOPMENT = oil & water. No mix. NO DEVELOPMENT/OTA = peanutbutter & jelly. ? Haha. And #2 If development and customization are your bag.. purchase a high end anticipated device. If your not into developmen... basically.. get lost. ?✌ JK. But you know What I mean. Lol

But I've been trying to fix the problem with mg lg g vista D631. See at first, I though I had a g3 since that's what my brother told me when he sold it to me but it was a deal so I can't complain. So I tried to root it with ioroots one click script I believe and nothing bad happened to my phone. It worked.

I am in a similar situation here with my LG G Vista D631 (AT&T) ... It was rooted, I was on stock ROM and was trimming out bloatware, unused ringtones, fonts etc. and accidentally deleted a system file that made the phone reboot. When it reboots it comes to the LG logo screen and sits there until the battery dies. I can get into download mode but cannot find any firmware to install or any flash tool that recognizes the phone. AT&T device service center said they no longer support the D631 and could not flash it, LG says that they do not flash phones either. Is the phone destined for the trashcan?
