Unbrick Method?

I really really need a way to unbrick the T-Mobile version of the k7. I don't have any warranty on this phone either. Please I need help.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
My rough version of a quick root

First i oem unlocked usb debugging all that good stuff.

So i installed kingroot.

Flashify to flash beta twrp. Once twrped

I deleted kingroot from in app settings.

Booted to twrp and flashed the supersu zip 2.76 i believe. Bam easy as pie.

No scripts. Took about 10 min playin around. And just to confirm. Do not use button combo for cactory reset like other lgs. Will reset device and shut off usb debugging. And if in a softbrick. Again will kill usb debugging and fastboot.

Just found out k7 has carrier iq. If u dont know what it is look it it up. This is my guide to the g4. But i just did it on k7 and exactly the same to disable it.

http://xdaforums.com/sprint-g4/general/havnt-seen-threads-carrier-iq-started-t3327626

Also download a app called v10 hidden settings some useful stuff. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...g+s&pcampaignid=APPU_1_1G2FV-GaJcv5mAGXq6nwAQ

And xposed v86 sdk22 arm is the one i use rite now. Remeber first boot after xposing takes a few min good rule of thumb no more than 5

Don't Use KINGROOT or you are asking for a nice FAT BRICK!!!

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

Use these two files to root your MS330:

https://mega.nz/#!tM4VwTJD!ojFx3ozJeh-EYCjrA7ioYswZi0opHsUCSaU1HNds-UA

INSTRUCTIONS:

(Extract zipped files with Root Browser onto phone somewhere)

1. Make sure OEM unlock enabled in developer options

2. Install KingOroot v3.1 and click one click root and wait until it says root succeeded.

3. Install Super-SUme v6.7 and click blue button and wait until it gets stuck at "stage 6 cleaning" and lastly...

4. Go to Play Store and install latest SuperSU, run it and select top option which I believe says normal?*

They just updated SuperSU with new UI/version...anyway, it's not the bottom expert button, but the top other button whatever it says.

If SuperSU at any point says binary needs to be updated, choose ok and click NORMAL method and reboot.*
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
Thats weird cause i rooted with kingroot. No brick and when i used supersume is what bricked me. Kingo wouldnt root for me kept freezing at 90%
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] goitalone:
Then you are one of the lucky ones.

KingRoot bricked 3 of my phones, and I have had reports emailed to me by others that KingRoot messed their phone up one way or another.

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 PM ----------

And it wasn't Super-SUme...phone rebooted into a brick while KingRoot was trying to gain root

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

I take part of that back.. the latest Super-SUme also bricks this phone, that's why my guide says to use v6.7 an old version of it.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
Yea mine bricked trying supersume first root then ofcoarse i factory reset so i lost adb. If a man flashes twrp first and never roots he can straight flash su from twrp.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] goitalone:
I believe that moving the AdaptClient folder in system/priv-app outside of priv-app folder will resolve carrier iq concern.

You can also simply delete the AdaptClient folder.

Then reboot.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
That is correct. It will to sometimes u still need to disable some of the services though
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] goitalone:
Do you have/can you make a list of names of these services?

Did they all have iq in name like the link said?
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
Yes the only one that dont is the one that says masterclear.

it does at the bottom

[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Caidryn:
After reading that goitalone had some well respected members of the community here thanking him for help and confirming his help is legitimate, I decided to give it a try myself. I was pretty scared at first, but he was professional and helpful, didn't install anything weird on my computer (I'm pretty new to phones, but nowhere near new to computers.), and he got my phone back up as soon as the files were downloaded.

I know it sounds shady to say I won't share them and all, but I promised I would not, and he helped me without asking for anything in return, so I'll hold to my word.

In any case, I know a new account made today doesn't lend much credence, but I had to make an account to give my thanks. I once again have a working phone, and can return the other to MetroPCS, saving me quite a sum of money.

[MENTION=805681]reemobeens19[/MENTION] & [MENTION=5026081]tyson170[/MENTION] did you guys change your DPI to 200 or lower?

I don't have k7 but i'm considering. It seems like a very nice and capable phone when rooted/cm13. It already has low screen resolution. Why do you lower dpi?
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] starkly_raving:
Lowering the DPI reduces the size of the LG UI...or UI in general. Also helps when using high res icon packs to reduce distortion/graininess etc.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] guest_2011:
What about apps in general? Won't there be distortion or screen problems for apps?
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] starkly_raving:
No distortion or force closes as long as you don't go below 220dpi.

Custom Recovery Update?

Can anyone give me info on the status of a compatible custom recovery for the LG k7 - LGMS330

I havnt been able to find updates. I hope no one gave up trying to make a compatible recovery.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] starkly_raving:
Update

Hey guys I have some news...

1. "The Good"...Was able to get TWRP to boot (ported using android image kitchen)

2. " The Bad" There were no mount points or sd/storage options but it did boot back to system.

3. Did some research and found out that twrp.fstab has to match the recovery.fstab from the stock recovery.

So now when I get home I'm going to edit the twrp.fstab and see what we can do. But definitely making progress.

Android Newb

some time back i bought my first android (lg k7 k330 t-mobile) and promptly bricked it using supersu to repalce kingroot (non wolf droid) method . Yesterday I found a unbrick method on androidforums that worked for me . I had to uninstall all drivers and my version of lgup . I used their linked lgup , lg k330 msi and lgk7k330fix zip . The only problem i had was lgup did not recognize their .dz file . I manually entered the path and file name into lgup and i was up in a few min.

I then used xcaptaintjx guide for dummies, post 99 of this thread . all went well thou the wolf droid method seemed as it was going to brick me again I let is sit with the "kingroot has stopped working " nag for about 10 min . From there I pulled my battery and figured I would have to start over expecting bricked state because of the kingroot nag but it booted with no sign of kingroot or kinguser but i also didnt see a superuser folder but root check verified root .so i continued to unlock bootloader which was also successful from their i am stuck as i have not been able to load twrp or xposed as of yet (Probably my lack of firmiliaritywith their funtions) .I just figured now was a great time to extend my thanks to all mods and members that have helped me get this far and recover my brick :D

SAFE ROOT INSTRUCTIONS:

(Do NOT use KingRoot, do NOT use scripts)

Use the two files below to SAFELY root your MS330 or K330.

Download KingOroot v3.1

https://root-apk.kingoapp.com/

Download older version Super-SUme v6.7 (new version seems to brick the phone)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6xMD81cEq7gWHBfT2hxUDRqdk0/view?usp=sharing

ROOT INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Make sure OEM unlock enabled in developer options

2. Install KingOroot v3.1 and tap one click root and wait until it says root succeeded.

3. Install Super-SUme v6.7 then tap blue button and wait until it gets stuck at "stage 6 cleaning" and lastly...

4. Go to Play Store and install latest SuperSU, run it and tap New User.

If SuperSU at any point says binary needs to be updated, choose ok and click NORMAL method and reboot.

XPOSED INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Install XposedInstaller apk:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440

2. Install BusyBox from Playstore:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox

3. Install Terminal Installer X from Playstore:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mcs.txi

(Terminal Installer X is a tool which is by far the most easiest way to install the xposed framework WITHOUT a custom recovery)

4. Open Terminal Installer X, tap TXI then tap install and wait till the script finishes, then reboot.

EDIT: If you originally bricked with KingRoot and/or that stupid SU script, the Terminal Installer X instructions may or may not work for you.

I don't get what I'm missing here? I keep seeing everyone having this major issue with bricking their K7 upon root. First off I'm probably the biggest newb of all to join this forum, but the day I bought my k7ms330 I rooted it with king-o-root and immediately added SuperSu, removed the KOR from my system apps after I got the updated binary and installed SuperSu, nothing special, nothing fancy and I've never had a problem. My question is am I to expect my phone to go all screwy at some point? I've removed root twice and rerooted twice with no problems. I have my boot loader unlocked(by the instructions from this forum) and I have TWRP and also exposed installed, am I just lucky or am I looking at a future brick?
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] goitalone:
The issue is KingRoot and/or that stupid SU script.

And, yes you are lucky by the fact that you used King-O-Root instead of KingRoot and/or didn't mess with that script.

And in my experience, nothing to worry about with your phone bricking unless you uninstall certain factory and/or Google apps.

But, if you HAD used KingRoot, I would be worried about something possibly happening in the future...at least on this phone.

I've run into a issue since I rooted and installed TWRP on my K7. I primarily did this so that I could install Apps2SD to make room to install more apps. Unfortunately since the original root and TWRP, I find that none of my settings, both OS and app, are maintained. Apps associated with accounts (such as Dropbox, Box, Skype, etc) behave as if I've just installed them. An app like the Amazon Kindle app repeatedly loses all my downloaded books. OS settings like the disabling of an app's notification is also constantly being reset. Does anyone have an idea why this could be?
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] goitalone:
KingRoot probably messed it up. Did you use KingRoot to root?

Several other people have told me they have had the same problems after using KingRoot.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexandergrig:
Yes, I side loaded Kingroot and used the Wolf Droid method. Aside from this irritating problem, everything else was working without issue. I was not sure if this might have had to do with some setting in the Apps2SD app. I know there are quite a few settings. I thought maybe this could be some strange permissions related issue but I have no clue on what to investigate in this regard. I guess I could re-start from scratch... :-/
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] goitalone:
Yes, I would reflash or reset if I were you.

I use Apps2SD pro and sometimes my apps disappear after rebooting so I have to reboot and Tinker with it, but I always get them back. It never loses settings really though.
