Where? I cant find it. Please don't let it be a secret

Download SuperOneClick here and root with rageagainstthecage method.

Ok, I'll give it a go -as long as you promise I wont brick it
BTW is there a free way to unlock it around?

Havent been able to get it to root. Superoneclick hangs on waiting for device.
I havent used it before - the expolit options are just Auto, psneuter and zergrush. They all hang. Should rageagainsthecage be an option there?

I cant even get it to install new apps to the external sd card with the "pm set-install-location 2" method
when i execute "pm get-install-location" it comes back with "2", but then when I try to install an app from the play store it goes straight to internal memory!"
I went for the E430 because it has "jelly-bean" but its a very limited phone if I cant get root and/or install apps and apps data to the external card

So, on further research.... its jelly bean and I dont think rageagainstthecage exploit works on that (even though I cant find it on superoneclick)
Also jelly bean has disabled app2sd entirely. There is a workaround where a script can swap sd/external sd so the os thinks ext mem is internal, but I havent been able to try it as it requires root to work.
So, we'll just have to twiddle our thumbs until someone who has a E430 actually roots it and lets us know how

Yes, seems like the jelly bean OS has made the existing root hacks redundant.
Should we combine the two threads into one to perhaps get more attention?
Also, I think the fact with JB you cant write apps to the ext SD is a *huge* drawback with this phone as it has such little memory. I would love, once someone has rooted it, to be able to rollback to the last version of android which allows writing apps to the card. Gingerbread?

If u talk about a NEW LG E430 L3 -2 (II) then ur options are very rare. This device is to new for a working root method.
I tried ALL rooting Tools u could find in the web...and NOTHING works.
So flashed a E435 dual SIM ROM with KDZ Flasher. Now I've a 98% working ROOTED ROM. Only Home-key a. MENU-Key doesn't work, the BACK-key works. Not such a big problem for me cuz I used/installed VIRTUAL BUTTONS and everything is fine again. Language is in EN and some other European.
---
It's ur personal decision to do the same. If u really going risky, like me, I'll send u all infos about that ROM flash.

You're right! I have E400f, and not E430. I don't know why I got confused, and thought we're talking about E400 or E405. That is why I didn't understand what's the big problem - and that is why I wrote I done it pretty easily...
Sorry for that.
bohenian wrote that he succeeded with E435. Maybe you should try it. Look here.

[Q][HARD TROUBLE] Lost data, can't root and 4.4.2 kitkat cable connection issues

Hi,
I'm a newbie of this gorgeous forum, i've heard of it many times and so, i decided definitely to create an account.
I Have a Nexus 4, 4.4.2 kitkat with the Build KOT49H and about 2 weeks ago i've accidentally deleted, in explorer, 2,95gb mic records files of the program easyvoice recording. They were very important to me, so i stopped using the phone to avoid the overwrite of the hidden/deleted files.
I tried with two methods:
1) Hexamob File Recovery PRO [NEEDS ROOT] , i haven't got root never on my nexus, so the bootloader isn't unlocked too. I can't unlock it because it will wipe all the memory involving the data folders making a total format like the hard reset does. You could say: Backup it?
It isn't so easy, the files that i've deleted are hidden by the memory in the phone (this is why i'm trying to recover it...), unless i'll download or overwrite it putting other files on it, they will certanly be unrecoverable. I stopped using my telephone in order to find a solution to my problem.
So, i've forgot this way to recover my files, and the mean question i ask to you is: Can i root my device in order to use Hexamob without the wipe process?
2) Recuva, Dr Fone Wondershare for Android, Data Recovery, Restoration... ecc ecc
I even tryied to use Windows Softwares such as the mentioned above. But... "luckily" for me, how you should know, many Nexus upgraded with 4.4.2 reports bugs with cable connection with PCs.
Example: when i try to copy all the pictures to windows it give me strange errors ("The library, drive, or media pool is empty.") and i have to copy one to one files per time.
So all the softwares doesn't find the "Nexus 4 MASS STORAGE". I've tried reinstalling automatically and manually drivers many times. Nothing work.
I've only three possibilities to return to use my nexus. Or i wait a google update in order to solve the cable connection bugs, or i wait in april a Dr Fone Wondershare for Android Software Update release compatible with 4.4.2, or i ask to you, my only concrete salvation.
Thanks a lot to all. Really.

Hate to tell you this, but you're sol. You're unlocked, unrooted, and you can't mount the device as a drive letter on the pc. I'd check with the app that's going to be updated in April, but I'm guessing it's not going to work anyway. Let them know you have a nexus 4, I don't think it can do usb mass storage

Subject:Android 4.4.2 for Nexus 4
I have a Nexus 4 with Android 4.4.2 and recently i've deleted very important files and i tryed to use Wondershare for Android to recover it.
It can't well notice my phone because after the second step, it begins by analyzing and at 20% say "The model isn't recognised" and it stop working by restarting the phone.
Please, can you release a version of this software compatible with NEXUS 4 with Android 4.4.2 ?
It is very important for me, i can't use it unless you do it..
Thanks, really thanks, you could save me!

How you've read they didn't mentioned about NEXUS 4 with 4.4.2, but i think the understood. I'm going to write another email in order to point out "specifying" that i'm using NEXUS 4.
Are you sure, i haven't no other solutions...? :crying:
Thanks..

I don't think so if you're not rooted. I'm trying out Dr fone for my own education, but I'm rooted and it seems to be working. It'll take awhile and I might try it unrooted too. I'll let you know what I find out.

If you're rooted it works better than I expected it to. But as you know, if you're not rooted it doesn't work. It's asking for usb mass storage which asfaik the nexus 4 doesn't support. I don't think even the update will be able to get around that limitation sorry

Or can you suggest me what i should wait to solve my problem? Maybe DooMLoRD or other developer will release a toolik that will be able to root without unlock the 4.4.2 in 2-3 moths maybe, isn't it possible?
so i'll take my file....
Other solutions? There aren't?

Any root method involves unlocking the bootloader first. As you know that wipes your device. If there were away to get around that it would have already been done

HEY！The 13/14.3.3.2 is rooted

I confirmed this news from the forum called "BAIDU", a china forum.
The method of root is to use the app called "root master". ( w w w .mgyun.com/)
It really works！
I post some screenshot as evidence.
" imgur.com/qALTGzN " this is my kindle version
" imgur.com/Qe9nZoh " you can see i can access the system folder

This looks like V-root and v-root did not work for me before, I dont know if I would trust this, I will not be trying it until I know exactly what exploit it is
using to root, because I have tryed many. They would of needed to find a completely new exploit..

no... but you can try blocking all outgoing ports or seeing if it runs without internet connectivity.
in my opinion root is not worth having my device id cloned to a knockoff tablet.

I successfully installed Google Play on rooted 13.3.3.2 using same files that I used on 13.3.1
All works excellent with HDXPosed

Hey,I have downloaded vroot to my computer but vroot doesn't seem to recognise my device.When i click on the green button that says "Connect device",it gives me an error message. Any help??

Which version extactly do you mean? 13.3.2.2 or 13.3.2.3.2? Because I have the newest one and it doesn't seem to work

I rooted 13.3.2.3.2

Worked for me on 13.3.2.3.2, play store and ota block installed and running fine.

Could you describe the process of rooting the kindle? I still can't seem to root it even though i have done the factory reset and enabled the adb debug. Thanks!

1: Everyone hold your horses
2: Stay in airplane mode
3: Try to find what exploit it is and or get the needed files
4: Even if you get root stay in airplane mode until fully confirmed
Don't rush it.

I, as well as my neighbor have actually used Kies multiple times to bring back the stock ROM on our Samsung S2, S3, and i would assume the S4 as well.. All we did was procure the stock ROM and then use Kies to install it. That being said, as far as i know, you MUST link that particular phone to Kies, BEFORE you actually go through with the Root process. If you do not, there will be NO WAY for Kies to pick up your phone ie: model etc and thus most likely will not allow you to use it in Stock Recovery!!! Youve been warned lol ☺
Also, many, and i do mean many peeps have asked whether or not this method of root (motochopper) will work with android 4.4.2, yet no one has gotten a response...At least not in the 2yrs and 9 pages back that i checked... Could you PLEASE inform us, and maybe shoot me an email as to whether or not it will work...Until then, i am slightly worried it will not and wanted clarification!! Thank you so much!

Moto chopper is obsolete now due to towelroot. Is you phone stuck in download mode? Try turning it off by holding the power for a few seconds. If that doesn't work pull the battery.

Get on YouTube and search for "galaxy s4 loki ZedoMax". Watch his video and follow the directions to a T and you should have ShabbyPenguin's Clockwork mod recovery. I got it to work. You have to be on the MDL firmware, which is what you have if you used moto chopper to root.

How do I find out what firmware version I have on an S4 before it is rooted?

I tried it on Galaxy Trend 2 and it fail.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297033
and one other guide, from XDA (can't find the link)
both recommend using motochopper to root my phone and every time i have tried i receive the same message
{*}waiting for device
*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037
*daemon started successfully
now in all the tutorial videos, the process takes 30 seconds to initiate and about 1-2 minutes to finish the process. My screen shows the above message and I've let it run all night. Any help on how to root my phone so i can remove my att bloatware and put on a custom system would be great
Steps I've taken so far and phone info
* searched multiple forums to find how to address this rooting issue (no success)
* phone has been unlocked from att themselves (phone is also paid off, contract is expired)
*developer options enabled
*USB debugging checked (enabled)
* updated drivers from samsung
*used keis to verify updates and to make sure everything is updated for rooting
*factory reset on phone with sim card removed
Phone info (all that I understand that is relevant)

thank you ahead of time for the help

You can't use motochopper on 4.4.4. It only worked on 4.2.2, mdl. See in the general forum how to Odin and root your device

Will do

Does Motochopper still work? I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M running 4.4.2. Towelroot does not work for me. It said my device is not supported. Would Motochopper work for me or do you know of any other ways I can root my phone?

Need root method for Cricket LG Stylo 3 (LG-M430)

Has anyone successfully rooted this phone yet? LG Stylo 3 LG-M430 from Cricket?
Thanks

I have been trying. The boot loader is locked, like the Z983 Blade XMax. If you find something, let everyone here know please!! I have tried several methods, and explored via adb.. Nothing solid yet.

According to SRSroot's twitter just now they have found a one click method for the Cricket LG-M430.
The .exe file is for download on their wedsite (SRSroot.com) not sure if it works but I will try it as soon I get home.

I heard kingoroot has rooted stylo 3 but I haven't tried yet.

Has anyone tried using iroot? Im cautious about using it since i dont want to take the chance of it bricking my phone as its the only thing ive got lol

These guys (SRSroot.com) are crooks, they tell you your phone is rootable via there app, then Then later tell you root isn't possible for your phone. still keeping your $40 bucks!

I think everyone's given up on this one.

Id like to give it a shot. It seems like this phone is a blend between the ph2n(MS550) and sf340n(MP450). I dont have a computer so ill get an OTG cable soon and see what i can do. Ive been using my Stylo 2 Plus with Magisk 18.0 and the ADB /Fastboot module to play with other devices. The beauty is if i do experience a brick my stylo2+ is at least factory unlocked....knock on wood. I would love getting one of these non metro/tmobile variants a new life

In the xda forum the MTK Easy Root method is available. Which gives you root permissions with the limitation that you cannot write to the system only read, that is. You cannot modify any file or delete apps from the system. But we are on the right track, I wonder if this method can advance something.

That's not going to work
the M430 is a Qualcomm soc https://www.gsmarena.com/lg_stylo_3_plus-8694.php

I think I found root for a similar phone with a larger screen at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81269513&postcount=5
I also see someone posted a youtube video about rooting the Stylo 3 (but I don't know whether it was the M430 or LS777) It apparently used a TWRP 3.2.1 for SF340. It was mentioned on getandroidtips.
This is my only working phone and I can't take it out of service yet.
