I really want to root my lg g8x mainly to install viper4android to get a tiny bit better quality out if the device speakers. Ive searched everywhere and can not for the life of me find an actual method of rooting. Those one click root apps (ei: towelroot kingroot etc have NEVER worked for me on any device, let alone a relatively new one. If anyone has a method of rooting this device pointing me in the right direction would be very greatly appreciated
I don't think LG has released the .bin file to unlock the bootloader. With the bootloader locked, you cannot root just yet.
I too want to root and get out all the bloatware.

Hello could someone please point me in the right direction to root this thing. I've notice there are different methods and a lot of brick talk on here so I'm a little reluctant to use one.I'm not new to the root I have rooted my evo,intercept,g2, galaxy tab. But all those seemed pretty safe I have t 201 and I updated to ics. One more thing I don't care much about the roms just want to run rooted programs so is it even worth it with such a new device?
I rooted mine with sparkys root but first use the unlock tool <unzip your unlock tool prior>...sparkys app is easy either download it with your computer then place in the file of your liking to open and install the app... or i think you can just download it from his page in developement with your prime. And has uproot available which I have done and then rerooted just for fun... enjoy your rooted Prime..

Hey, I own this device too and I've also been looking for a custom ROM and a root method with no results. I hope you found something already and if you did I was hoping you could tell me where I can find what I'm looking for. If you can tell me as well where can I find the root method with linux tell me please.
I wish you answered me ASAP because I'm going to sell the tablet if I'm not able to improve its performance.
Thank you and sorry if my english is too weird, I'm Spanish haha

If you like to root your device first of all you will need device drivers.
Archos ADB drivers
Then you will need a tool or a script with tools to root it.With a quick google search I found that RootBurnerTool could do the trick.
RootBurnerTool
If this method fails you could try other tools:
Root MANY ANDROID! (Bin4ry methods)
Unlock Root Tool
SRS One Click Root for Android
I hope it helps you!
And what about any custom ROMs for my Arnova 10c G3?

Thank you for that, as soon as I try it I'll tell you.
Do you have any idea if any custom ROM is available for the Arnova 10C G3? I can't say I didn't try hard searching for it...
I got a second hand Arnova 10c G3 the other day.
It was hardly used. I rooted it with SRS One Click Root for Android, so that one works.
And yes, I would also like to know if there's a custom rom. The device is a bit sluggish.
Anyway, it's a cheap device to see if I like a tablet at all, having a good PC that's always on, and a good phone. So far I used it to read my comics on

Hey guys, I posted a little while back about rooting my new ZTE Allstar and was pointed in the direction of several general one-click rooting apps (Framaroot, CF-auto-root, Kingroot, Kingoroot, and towelroot). I was pretty let down to find that literally none of them worked. The phone is relatively new, it came out in August I believe and I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas as to how I could root this monster. All I ned the root for is zANTI2 im not looking for any custom recoveries or Rom's just yet (because I know there's no way there is any).
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Join us over here for now. Spread the word if you can. SRS is the first step. Only temp root though so far. Prolonged by soft rebooting instead of rebooting.
Okay, I admit, this website indimidates the hell out of me. I'm tech savy and not afraid to mess with things, but the level of new terminology here is staggering.
Anyway, now that you know I'm a wimp: I have a SGP561 Xperia Tablet Z2 from Verizon with Lollipo 5.0.2. I want to root it in order to install custom fonts on Photoshop Touch as I'm living abroad and using my tablet as my main computer while the beast lives back home.
I tried to use the Easy Root Tool but it failed. I assume this is because my firmware is too new and not exploitable as of yet, which means I have to downgrade I believe. I have found some files for flashing (?) but they aren't for the SGP561 specifically - does that matter? All I found were these for Xperia Z2 (not the tablet Z2?)
So, in the easiest language possible, can someone please give a step by step on how to downgrade my SGP561 to a rootable firmware and then flash (?) back to the latest firmware and keep root?
Please, please, please, and thank you.
Bump?
This site is frustrating as hell. Mods are quick to lock noob threads without offering help, and you're not allowed to ask questions in the areas where anyone who knows the friggin answer would ever be anyway! I have a rooted z3V running lollipop, etc, so I'm sort of familiar with the process. But developments had been made where rooting became easier.
I've been wading through endless threads filed with outdated crap trying to figure out how the hell to root my z2 tablet for 3 weeks. None of the way this stuff has been written makes ANY sense.
I'm on 5.02, and want root and dual recovery. Should be simple, right?
I don't even know where to ask the damned question anymore. I've downloaded virus filed $#!+ on my computer, thoroughly screwing it up, TWICE now, only to find I probably didn't even need that file. -Or do I? Download links are so old they don't go anywhere. Can't tell what's what here.
Even this thread ; a WEEK OLD, and no help.

You said it dude. I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. I'm pretty deflated right now and demoralized.
If I ever figure it out, I'll hunt you down and let you know. If you do, please do the same.
Regards.
Seems that you guys are looking for a quick and easy fix, but i dont think that there is one. The method that I used is found in this thread.

I followed those steps in that link. It didn't work for me.
I could not downgrade to 17.1.D.0.437. The device was either in reboot cycle or in the status of in-completed flashed after I flashed the firmware ftf file provided in that post. I had to flash the latest firmware to restore the tablet. I was glad I didn't bricked my tablet.
Hi, I'm pretty new to the android scene, I've looked for a few days if there is a possible way to unlock bootloader on an Xperia M4 Aqua 2306, the issue is my phone has Bootloader unlock allowed = No and didn't actually find if there is an actual way to do this.
Found a few threads talking about how to unlock the bootloader but it seems from some posts that it's not possible to unlock, I was wondering if anyone could help me figure it if there is any possibility to unlock since my phone is quite slow and would love to breath some life to it, any help would be greatly appreciated!

the onli way i was able to root my 2306 was to downgrade with flashtool to lolipop the vertion 26.1.A.1.112 ...the onli one old enough to root with kingroot the onli app i found to root lolipop ....but then none of the tutorial i read got me back to the last update without loosing root and aving to deal with the 100 of preinstalled app .....tryed to let it at lolipop but the phone is now extremly sloooooow
was able to get to recovery but then after looking at all custom rom .....they all need to be install with fastboot and they all stated that you need unlock bootloader so i stop trying the phone is not realy worth it anyway
