Wow, what? No power at all you mean?

They do run on the hot side, but I have purchased 6 of them and none of them have died on me yet and I have been using one of them since mid December.

I actually dropped one and broke it and had to order a screen (whole device actually) from a guy on eBay that had his cpu fry on him so I'm thinking it's a heat issue, but two of them dying in that short of time seems a bit unusual.

That was the word thing about my first one, when I checked the cpu temp it was at 90° which is fine but the device was thinking it was overheating. The second just bricked itself in my pocket, I hadn't even tried to root it yet. It didn't feel hot in my pocket either.

Some things just seriously need an audio boost on this phone... Like hangouts voice mail messages for example... can barely hear them.

I really need Viper4Android : (

Android should add support/permissions for things like that so we don't have to root.

And bloatware should be uninstallable it's just ridiculous

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

And all phones should have front facing or at least bottom speakers.

Why in the world are most phones speakers still placed on the back the phone?

This is my speed on Boost in my house in rural Indiana. Verizon was slightly better than this, but not worth the extra$15 a month I was paying. AT&T and T-Mobile say they don't have 4G out here so Boost is the best option for me.
[Android General] goitalone:
Only time I saw speeds high as that or higher was when I was in a 5 square foot area in a parking lot close to my local (7 miles away) Taco Bell.

Go with what works best for you.. Boost is fine me, but I am canceling it at the end of this month because I am at home using Wi-Fi 99.99999% of the time and simply don't need a carrier.

I really wish I had more time to work on this but I've been working 6 days a week for over a month and I'm just burnt out. Still loving this device. After I got my last replacement I've had zero problems, killer battery life and super smooth all day, every day.
[Android General] :
I wish I had more time to work on it also. I started making a device tree, and found with all the different models and different specs they have we'll need about 3 different trees and 3 different recoveries. I'm mainly working on the LS755 or at least doing that first. Since I can't even get this thing to boot to the damn bootloader, rooting it is not looking very promising so I took the OTA update I had pop up yesterday and updated to v7 firmware with March security patches. If it keeps getting updates for a bit, I'll be happy.
[Android General] redspeed:
Im guessing its a dead end for hoping for root for this phone at this point?

Its a shame since this phone has killer battery life for the price. Rooting would let me free up more space and remove bloat I dont need to speed the phone up a bit and I really prefer rooting for privacy reasons.

There are no kdz firmware for ATT or Cricket LG devices, because AT&T LG devices support software update via FOTA only.

I own an unlocked LG X Power (Model: LGUS610) running Android 6.0.1 (kernel 3.10.49) and Software US61010b (Build MXB48T). Is there any way I can help as long as my phone doesn't get bricked?

[Android General] kyva1929:
Thank you guys! The phone is still usable it is just that I notice lots of micro stutter ever since I tried rooting the phone with kingroot.

The fact that kingroot was able to install itself in /system/app/ means it is still hopeful that we get proper root on this phone sometime!
[Android General] asialove2013:
dump

If you like, you can dump the system.img from your phone and use winhex to edit it, Compare the folder name and files with the system.img from other LG X power, Just remove all files that added by Kingroot and then you can flash the clean system.img back to your phone.
[Android General] MrOats:
I just tried Kingroot last night, but it failed. Should I help out by uploading my system.img here? Again, I own an unlocked LGUS610 (X Power) phone.
[Android General] kyva1929:
system.img will most likely be a ext4 formatted image that can be mounted in linux - right? The only question I have is that if we can flash arbitrary unsigned image file to the system partition, that would mean we can customize the rom however we would like. Is this generally true for all LG devices?

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ----------

US610 has kdz available on the internet. I assume even without root you can dump the system partition with dd to an image file, is this the approach that you are taking?

Though I do not know if it is possible to flash arbitrary unsigned system.img with lg tools back to the partition though. Thank you so much for your initiative to help! :)
[Android General] MrOats:
I've yet to make the attempt, I've used dd before, but not from Android, what's the easiest way to go about it? I really don't wanna brick this, so I'll help with what I can.

I'm also running Manjaro Linux here, with the android-sdk installed. Otherwise I have a Windows computer on the side ready to use.
[Android General] goitalone:
DD work without root? I've forgotten.
[Android General] kyva1929:
someone said he got the kernel aboot / boot.img dumped. If dd reading system partition as a non-root user is not possible, what would be the general approach to do this? I assumed dd would work only because I can read /system/ without root.
[Android General] MrOats:
I found an option in Developer Options called "Enable OEM Unlock (Allow the device to be OEM unlocked)", will this help us in any way?

Edit: So I was following this guide to figure out how to get it into fastboot mode. It doesn't seem to exactly "work", for I get the boot animation for a few seconds, but then shows the powered off charging screen afterwards. If I don't hold down the volume button, like the article says, then it just shows the charging screen instead, no boot animation.

Edit 2: I follows the instructions for the "Download Mode" in the guide (in first edit), it does work, and I'm currently sitting on a firmware update screen. It seems kinda stuck atm... (633A B100)

Edit 3: Please help, it's stuck. I don't know if I should just unplug... it is still at 0%

Edit 4: Okay, holding ALL buttons down rebooted it. No user data was erased.

doesn't sound at all necessary.

^ to remove kingroot files and keep root, there is a script. simply use terminal emulator and run the script file. any questions regarding this process? you can find the script by googling "

xda kingroot remove script

" and select the first and most relative link.

-has anybody given this a try?

Download Fastboot Files.

Download ADB Driver and install it in your PC.

Copy it To Your PC and Extract it.

Download LG X-Power 6.0 Marshmallow Driver and Install it Into Your PC.

Download TWRP Recovery For LG X-Power 6.0 Marshmallow.Rename it to recovery.img.Copy it Both in your Mobile and Fastboot file Folder.

Enable USB Debugging Mode->Tap 7-10 Times in Build Number->Enable USB debugging Mode.

Connect Your Mobile With PC via USB Cable.

Go to Fastboot Folder,Press Shift, and Right Click->It Will Open Command Prompt Window.

Type adb reboot bootloader.Hit Enter.It Will Boot your Mobile to fast boot Mode.

Type fastboot boot recovery.img.It Will Boot Your Mobile to Recovery.

It is a Temporary Recovery,Now in your Mobile Select Install Select recovery.img.Select Recovery Partition.

Swipe to Confirm Flash.When the Process is Completed you Will get TWRP Installed in your Mobile.

Download SuperSu.Zip and Copy it into your Internal Memory.

Switch Off Your Mobile.Boot it Into recovery mode->Volume Up+Home+Power Button.

Now it Will Boot into TWRP Recovery Mode.Select Wipe->Advance Wipe->Select Cache,System,Data.

Return to Home of TWRP and Select Install.Now Select SuperSu.Zip.

After the Installation Reboot Your Mobile.

Now You can Find the SuperSu in your Mobile Applications.

Once superSU is installed, root has been obtained and the device is rooted.

these steps have links for each download

for the full guide, you must visit this link

this should solve the gentlemans problem who seeks to install VIPER4Android

Once you have SUPERSU, sir, simply obtain viper4android by searching "biohazard sound mod xda" and click the xda link to the mod. then download the biohazard lite or full file and use flashify to flash, or use the TWRP and flash the file that way with the zip.
[Android General] MrOats:
Yeah, doing either a shutdown then holding Volume Down then plugging in the cable or a "adb reboot bootloader" does nothing, at least for my US610 model...
[Android General] bilgerryan:
Yeah the adb command "adb reboot bootloader" only reboots the device on the Boost LS755 model as the bootloader is hidden and very locked down (which is weird to me as Sprint/Boost doesn't usually lock down their bootloaders, I've been with them for years and this it's the first time I've dealt with this). Once we're able to get into fastboot/bootloader we will be good to go. My efforts haven't been very promising so far.
[Android General] MrOats:
But apparently this might be feasible?

This too
[Android General] bilgerryan:
Neither one of those require root, if that's what you mean.
[Android General] MrOats:
Yeah, what I'm thinking is that if we modify the source files to include the su binary, then we get a working compile going where we all test if we successfully have root afterwards. Far as I've seen, all of our LG X Powers can go into Download Mode...
[Android General] bilgerryan:
Yeah if you had root access you *should* be able to reboot to the bootloader.
