Hey. Kingo root android application make tempory root your device. After restart mobile. Back to normal
Sent from my CHM-U01 using XDA Forums
Unlock bootloader... Then it wont come back to normal...
ALL TESTED ON A T-MOBILE LG LEON ON 5.1.1 - MAY WORK FOR OTHER VARIENTS
ROOT
Enable Unknown Sources In Settings Under Security And Turn Off Verify Apps
Go To Your Web Browser And Download And Install KingRoot With This Link: https://kingroot.net/
Open The App And Do The 1 Click Root Process Which Should Take About A Minute Or Two, (If It Says There Is No Root Method Available You Can Still Try To Attempt To Root Which Will Work)
Now You Should Be Rooted
Download And Install Buzybox From The Playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en
TWRP 3.0 RECOVERY (ROOT)
Download "Rashr - Flash Tool" From The Playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools&hl=en
Make Sure You Have "OEM Unlock" Enabled In Developer Options To Boot To TWRP Or You Will Get A Error
Open The Rashr App And Grant Root Permission, And Hit The "TWRP Recovery" Button And Install The Latest Version, Do Not Install The Other Recoveries Because They Do Not Work
When It Installs Hit Yes I Want To Reboot To Recovery And If TWRP Asks To Allow Modidcations, Do So
Boot Up Your Phone To The OS, Now You Are Done!
To Access Recovery, Power Off The Phone And Hold VOL DOWN And Power, Once You See The LG Logo Let Go And immediately hold both of the buttons again until you see a screen which says "Do you want to factory reset" You want to do yes and then it will say do you want to start and do yes again and this will take you straight to TWRP recovery (Note that this will not actually reset the phone)
DEBLOAT (ROOT)
You Can Debloat With In The Kingroot App Which I Would Not Recommend Because When You Remove System Apps In Kingroot It Takes Them To The Recycle Bin And When I Try To Empty Them From The Recycle Bin It Fails. But It Does Remove Them But They Are Still Taking Space On Your Phone, But You Can Restore Those Apps If You Want. Here Are The Instructions To Complety Remove System Apps From Your Phone
Enable USB Debugging In Developer Options
Download And Install Debloater.exe On Your PC: https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=...1203&parId=8576A478A6DBC737!502&action=locate
Connect Your Phone To PC And Open Debloater
Make Sure You Have Root Checked And ADB If It Is Not In Debloater
Now You Can Complety Uninstall Any System Apps Now
After flashing TWRP it asks to reboot into recovery, I hit yes, then it just sits on the LG LIFE IS GOOD POWERED BY ANDROID black startup screen.
Any ideas?
hi! is there any other option aside from using debloater on PC to remove apps? I don't have PC to use. thanks!
