Hello everybody,
I have the LG optimus F6 by Metro PCS. I DID root my device, but am trying to move my apps to my 8gb sd card. I need an app that will actually work. I have tried multiple apps and none are working for me. I need to move large apps such as Facebook and Utorrent to the SD because I am getting messages stating that my "internal memory is full." Additionally, I would like to create wi-fi hotspots but cannot find any apps that work. I DO get popups that say "GRANT SUPERUSER REQUEST" but the app ends up not working...Thanks for your help!

First off I would recommend running the RootChecker just to make sure your device is rooted properly. If it says your rooted great, if not double check that you rooted your device correctly. As far as moving your apps to the sdcard I would recommend taking a look at the app MoveToSD it has always worked well for me when I used my original Motorola Droid which has very limited internal storage. For an app that works well for creating a Wifi hotspot I would recommend taking a look at WiFi Tether for Root Users, as well as FoxFi (Try the free version first and if it works well for you the paid version is well worth the price from my own positive experiences with the app).
hotspot with metropcs
I also have a metropcs with a LG Optimus f6. Too get my hotspot to work I went into phone settings/apps/all. Then scroll down to upsell and disable it. My phone is not rooted and im paying for the $60.00 unlimeted plan. Remember wifi is disabled in your phone not on the network. I am still working on ps3 to tether also will update with progress. Let me know if you have anymore problems.

Root
Hi!
I rooted my LG Optimus f6 D505 with this package. (In the attachment) I think it must work for You too, but remember it can brick Your phone and I don't undertake any responsibility etc...etc...just follow the instructions.
When You unrar or unzip it. But before You do this right clock on the zip package and unblock it! Because Your windows will block it as it is downloaded from the internet. Then run the "install" file as administrator and follow the on screen instructions. Enable USB debugging on Your phone and set the connection type to MTP. I did it and it worked for me. I hope it will work for You, too.
And if You brick Your phone download the LG PC Suite program from the LG's official site and You can restore Your stock ROM with that.
Greetings
Can anyone confirm that ^this^ works? What have other people done?
Use towel root it will work for lg optimus f6. I used the version 1 and it worked successfully there are new updated to the app that i have not tested.

Hello XDA :good:
Is anyone successfuly rooted their LG Optimus L3 E405?
I need help how to root it, Ive tried the E400 rooting guide but I always failed...
Tried almost all of the ways seen on google searches but none of them work.
If any here can help me root this device is really really appreciated..
Thank you and hoping for a reply to our Android Rooting Gurus
by the way, my LG device is;
LG Optimus L3 E405
Gingerbread 2.3.6 (Updated August 31, 2012)
Hi all,
I have a LG L3-E405 DUAL too and the same question and also tried almost everything i could find about rooting E400 and E405.
I've tried the Spectrum root method and superoneclick 2.3.3
Firmware: v10d-SEP-13-2012
Build: GRK39F
Kernel: 2.6.38.6-perf+
Android: 2.3.6
Output from Superoneclick and Spectrum root basically comes down to permission denied, phone reboots and no change at all.
I really would like to root it so i can move apps like maps en google plus to the internal memory of 1 GB to free up some space for more apps.
Any help on a method that works would be greatly appreciated
Sorry for this bump.. Just want to let others know if they missed reading this thread.
and yes, I really wanted to know if this is possible.. Thanks.
Any news on these matters? Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Yepey! Ive rooted my E405 now..

psneuter will not work, neither do the other root options.
Be sure you have the LG L3-e405 usb drivers installed correctly otherwise it won\t work either. You can download them from the Lg website.
connect your phone and choose pc software on the dialog that opens on your phone.
You need Superoneclick 1.7 (temporary disable while downloading and using superoneclick your antivirus as well otherwise it will falsely say it's a trojan.)
Run the program (in winvista/win7 as administrator) set on the right the method to RAGEAGAINSTTHECAGE then press root.
Wait untill whole process is done en telling you it was succesful.
Shutdown your phone and start it again. Superuser should be there in applications menu.
Thanks go to Yethz who started this thread and found the solution !

For who want to use Link2SD on your L3-E405 you should pay attention to the following.
On the E-405 it will not work if you only create a ext2 and fat32 partition!
Use a partitionmanager to partition your SD card.
All partitions must be PRIMARY and not logical
1. First create a FAT (not fat32) partition and choose the smallest size possible
2 Then create a EXT2 partition of 1 GB (not bigger) for use with Link2SD
3 Create a FAT32 partition for the remaining space left on the SD card.
Download and install Link2D from google play store and start it.
It will ask you what kind of partition you want to use and choose EXT2
It will tell you to reboot, so shutdown your phone and turn it back on.
Now you can remove bloatware and system apps you dont want on your system storage.
And offcourse link the apps to your sd card to free up memory.
Following sytem apps you can safely remove from the E405:
Google+
Google Maps
Google Maps Streetview
Google Mail
Youtube
these you can all download from google play store and links then to sdcard

The E-405 is not supported yet by rom manager or CWM. It's only available for the L3-E400.
As far is i know there are no fully working custom roms for the E405 yet so rom manager is kind of useless at the moment.
Only for the E400 i see a cyanogen mod nightly is being in development.
Also i have read a couple of warnings on other forums not to use cwm/rom manager on the L3 E-400 or E405 due to unwanted behaviour of
both apps like getting stuck in boot loop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27683328
maybe you can find some answers in this thread.
Hmm, thanks , Can we expect Cyanogen 9 for the LG L3 E405 ??

I have no idea. That depends on a developer who wants to pick that up.
just search xda from time to time to see. If there will be any custom rom you will find it on this forum.

Hey bro,
Id followed your tips about using Link2SD , thanks a lot.
I tried linking all my apps to SD Card now I have lots of free space on System Memory :good:
I was using Move to SD Card (App2SD Method) and I have lot of System Memory consumed but when Linking to SD Card got me more space.
Thank you again, and yes I already formatted my phone (hard reset) just to set things up properly.
Now, Can you recommend me some usefull apps?
So, any news on other users of E405? Does it go well on your handsets?
Also can you share your must have apps that perfectly run in it :good:

what file explorer are you using? i use es file explorer because it's awesome and supports root access. when you choose root explorer, you have to change the file system from ro to rw. by doing that you are then able to modify as you wish.

i ran into the same problem you did. until i found the video that i posted earlier in this thread. if you haven't tried it, then i think there is something you must be missing. if i remember correctly, i might have messed up the first time i tried. try downloading a root checker app in the play store to actually confirm you have root.
Premia Rool
I had the same problem phone did not want to root and super user asked for update. Well I rebooted laptop and phone and followed the you tube video in the thread. It only said failure at the first stage because it was trying to push exploit which was already on the phone from the first time. After rebooting both laptop and phone and running motochopper the third time it said "successful!'" at the rooting stage some thing it had not happened before. then afte phone auto reboot IT WORKED!!. So don't give up.
I have a US Cellular LG Optimus F7 and I need to get it unrooted. It is just too much hassle with most games and apps starting to put root protections on their stuff. So please give me instructions. FYI, make sure that all zip files open and all programs install successfully before you tell me. There is a specific .cab file that will not open. Please help me.

I'm currently looking for a way to root, install a recovery, and flash a "Boost Mobile-less" rom... I'll post back if I find anything at all.
Sent from my LG-LG870 using XDA Free mobile app
All you need to do to unroot is to open SuperSu and use the unroot option in the settings. Are there really that many apps and games that have root protections? I can't think of any beyond a couple of cable company apps and some banking ones.
Biggies for me and mutually inclusive:
1 Root
2 Disable updates
3 Enable card write permissions
4 Debloat
5 Foxfi
In the main "Root for ALL G3..." thread in the General G3 area, first post has a spreadsheet link.
The spreadsheet indicates IOroot works for VZW.
Any reason not to use it, instead of towelroot?
(I also want to debloat and get my tethering up, plus LBE Security Master to control app permissions and ads)
I will be using IOroot for my g3 tonight well if fedex ever comes
i tried towelroot and it says my device isnt currently supported
ioroot supposedly works
A recent post in the main thread claims that ioroot works on our VZW G3.
Mine was delivered but I'm stuck at work...

someone needs to make a thread on here saying which VZW and LG bloat apps are safe to remove. Ill probably root only and ONLY to debloat, I have no need to edit anything else on this phone till I get bored or frustrated at lack of updates (for when it inevitably happens).
Rooting is also nice to re-enable sd card writes for third party apps

You have to switch the usb connection method in the notification area to MTP and or Internet Connection > Ethernet. This is the solution you are looking for. You have to do it to enable usb debugging. Just go back and forth until you get the RSA popup.

I'm having the same problem. Verizon specific USB drivers loaded, have switched between MTP and Internet connection (Ethernet), device even says "USB debugging connected" when on the latter, but ioRoot is stuck on "waiting for ADB connection" no matter what I seem to do. Any other tips?
Within the ioroot thread (towards the end) someone posted a link to install the G2 drivers. I did that and was able to accept the RSA cert on my device and boot to ADB. I'll post a link in a bit for the lazy.

I'm having the same problem. Verizon specific USB drivers loaded, have switched between MTP and Internet connection (Ethernet), device even says "USB debugging connected" when on the latter, but ioRoot is stuck on "waiting for ADB connection" no matter what I seem to do. Any other tips?

adb driver? i'm not sure, i didn't install the drivers recently, i had done the drivers for my g2 a while ago.
I just recently purchased a LG Optimus Exceed 2 VS450PP1 Verizon prepaid and I would like to root it, but I'm afraid to use the wrong guide to do so.
I have already done this part: Turn on USB debugging: Settings and enabled the installation of unknown sources.
It seems that Towelroot used to work but no longer does. Can someone post a link to the correct procedure for my phone or the instructions to do so? I already read did a search for my phone and read several pages, but I'm still unsure which procedure will work for my phone.
This is my phone info:
LG Optimus Exceed 2 VS450PP1
Build Number KOT49I,VS450PP1
Software version VS450PP1
Kenel version 3.4.0+
Solved. I used towelroot and Root Checker to my phone, and it is now rooted.
Could you drop the link you got towelroot from, i searched and there were a lot of sites that had it, and i would like to make sure it works

I sure will. Here is the site for towel root. Type this address on your phones browser, and then click on the upside down letter "Y". https://towelroot.com/
And here is a site that shows you what to do http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795300
I did mine recently for a LG Optimus Exceed 2 VS450PP1, and it's been working great so far.
You may also want to download a file called VS450PP1_04.kdz here. I think this is a backup of the phone software, should it be necessary in the future. This file is not necessary to root your phone, so you save it on some other media than your phones memory. http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/lg-vs450pp-exceed-2-help-t2989811
Good luck.

You're welcome.
I believe the file called VS450PP1_04.kdz is a ROM image for the phone with all the original stuff that came with it. I have not use this image for anything myself, but I believe it can be used to restore the phone back to factory settings as a last resort should things go wrong. I would recommend that after rooting successfully, you install the app called Titanium Backup Pro and let it back up everything to an external usb memory card on the phone. This is probably the better and safer approach to restore something that you had removed and would like back.
You can also go to the google play store and download the latest google apps that you have deleted if so desired.
I should mention that I'm not an expert at this stuff, just a beginner, so my knowledge is limited to what I did to my phone . I only rooted my phone to be able to install apps like Titanium Backup Pro.
I hope this answered your question.
