Hi, I'm trying to remove all those annoying pre-loaded aps that VZW put on my phone. I attempted to run the unrevoked3 root + flash thingy and it got hung up part way through - phone still works, and the phone IS rooted. I installed a terminal emulator and saw that all the pre-loaded aps only have "R" access which is why I cannot remove them.
I've tried using "chmod -r 777 <program>" and I get a "failed" message. I've tried the simple "rm /system/app/amazon*" and it tells me it's a read-only file (still). Can anyone help me? I've got some experience with linux and command line, but am still not very good with it and this is my first time attempting to root/hack my phone.
I've got the HTC Incredible running the latest 2.3 gingerbread.
Try to get BUsy Box and see if you have super user access, cuz since you said it hung up half way, chances are your phone did not root completely
Im pretty sure it has been rooted. I downloaded an emulator and when I type "su" the command line goes $->#. Someone else had this similar problem but they wanted to install a different ROM and I just want to remove useless aps. That being said I wasn't able to make any use out of his solution.
I should also point out that a super user icon is now in my aps window. I open it and its just a black screen, possibly because I haven't given anything root access yet?

try installing rom manager from the app store and see if it ask you for permission
Ok, I installed that, but it didn't ask me for permission...is there something I have to adjust in the April itself?

if it didnt ask for permission, that means your phone is not rooted, as Clockwork recovery needs permission to use, reroot? or ask in the incredible forum?
Yeah, guess I'll try to reroot. Not sure why the unrevoked3 root didn't work. Will try and post any details about failed tasks during the root process.
Thanks

I've seen this thread before and since forgot about it. Thanks for posting it. I assume in order to do what they say in the thread (meaning run the adb shell), you need to root your phone
?
Sorry for taking so long to report back...busy time of year!
As it turns out, my phone actually WAS rooted despite running into the previously posted comments. I was attempting to start over and in doing so, downloaded SDK, JDK and proceeded to mount my phone using adb. All I had to do was reboot my phone in recovery mode and then mount /system. Voila! I have since moved all the useless bloat to a disabled folder...
My next question is this: How do I enable tethering and mobile hotspot?
Thanks for your help.
Wireless tether for root users is a pretty baller app. I show it off once in a while at work when someone flashes their ipad around. The speed is solid.

Is that the name of the ap? Or how can I enable it? I've been told that the pre-loaded mobile hotspot still will not for rooted phones and you need to download a 3rd party ap?
Just searched the "wireless tether" in the market and found it...it says it requires "Netfilter-enabled kernel" What's that mean? I'm still running the stock ROM (2.3 gingerbread). I don't know that I want to run a new ROM....
I downloaded and installed both "wireless tether" and "barnacle" just to try out both. I can view my mobile hotspot on other devices, and I can even connect them to my phone. On the iPhone (4g), I can get what appears to be everything but youtube. On my laptop I can't get any internet signal...
In either tethering ap, I cannot view who/what is connected (i.e. my laptop or iPhone). Any ideas? Are there limitations to these aps?

I have Barnacle for my Wi-Fi tether and it tells me who is connected to my phone (there should be a "Clients" tab). Do you have any encryption enabled?
I password protected my wireless hotspot and then used both the iPhone and laptop to connect to it, once they connected I tried viewing who was connected to my hotspot in both barnacle and the wireless tether and neither of them would say another device is connected.

Has this actually been tested??
Hey all, I'm trying to root my lg g2 with the latest update on my MacBook Pro and can't get passed a rather important step. I have followed every step forwards and backwards and no matter what I do when i hit Root.sh then the all important "any" key it says NO DEVICE FOUND. I've got all the settings correct and have given myself root access on the macbook and thought the macbook itself is recognizing the phone and allowing my access to my files Root.sh cannot.
HELP!
thanks for any advice.
I'm in the same boat! Mac, with a sprint g2.. No luck getting it rooted. As soon as i get to the "Press enter to proceed" , it says no device found. Debugging on, mac root is active (thought that might help).. Latest ioroot (25 i think)... Drivers have been installed like 3 times... No luck. SO sick of my phone being caged like this.
you guys try running through a virtual machine? would be your best bet or get a real pc? phone a friend?
Hi,
I installed V50030A yesterday from Korean version, which is great. Now I need to root (to be able to use dual window with whatever app).
Anyone ever succeeded ?
Thanks.
Dripple_
Have succeeded in doing so here..
Use iRoot to root the tablet.. this will install Kingroot, a couple of chinese apps and a service..
Download iRoot for Windows PC here ::
iRoot - English Version (not tested)
iRoot - Chinese Version (tested and works) Your browser may block the download as google has stated this as untrustworthy.. bypass it.
After install make sure you have the most recent LG drivers for the tablet installed. (if you have installed the kdz i'll presume you already have done so)
make sure 'USB Debugging' in the developer options is active and that 'Unknown Sources' is enabled in Security.
Connect tablet to pc... Start iRoot/vRoot.. wait for it to connect to your tablet. Hit the green button to start root procedure.. here it will install a couple of apps and a service (these you will want to delete later) along with Kingroot and a rather bad version of busybox.
Do not touch the tablet and let it go through the whole procedure and reboot.. If it fails first time round, just repeat the whole thing again.
Hopefully you should have root.
Now this is important... You need to replace Kingroot with something that aint a piece of ****.. I suggest Supersu. For me this did not work straight off and it kept failing to update the binary.
What I did in the end was download Super-Sume. This is designed to aid installation and properly removes Kingroot while installing the most recent Supersu free addition.
Hopefully now you are rooted with Supersu.
install busybox from the play store so it replaces the bogus version that came with iRoot and you should be ready to go.
Delete remaining chinese apps and service that appeared and you free to go.
if you're wanting to install TWRP follow this thread by revi_buz ::

Recently got a G3 with Verizon. Running Lollipop 5.0.1. I've done quite a bit of reading about rooting, and understand the concept. Decided to try rooting my phone. I followed the guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/log...de-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
I attempted to root my phone several times, on three different PC's each running Windows 7. The farthest I ever get is a 90% complete status where the GUI says "Rooting phone" and the phone says "downloading firmware." I've left it in this state for upwards of 10 minutes and I always end up having to pull the usb and remove the battery in my phone in order to restart it. Upon pulling the USB the GUI will immediately show it had completed the root but when I test for super user status (with Terminal Emulator "su" entry) it says "not found."
USB debugging is enabled. I have tried switching between MTP and PTP connections. I have tried several different USB ports on each machine I attempted this. I tried it by first manually installing the LG drivers on the computer as well as by letting Windows automatically install them. I have tried with the box that says to always allow connections from the computer checked as well as unchecked. I tried versions 1.3 and 1.2 of the script. With version 1.2 it seemed like it finished and it prompted me to push control+c followed by N and enter or something and then the command window closed, but the phone was not rooted.
What am I missing?
I'd really like to get this phone rooted as I am excited to create a recovery and experiment with custom ROM's.
Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

If the 1st method (one-click script) doesn't work for, the 2nd method using the classic way will. Download and extract the "New_LG_Root_v0.1_by_dig.zip" file from the OP, then open an elevated command prompt from within the directory you extracted the files to.
Thanks
I thought I fixed that link. Oh well. Glad to see there's a new method. I will try this. Thanks!
This worked by the way. Thanks again!
