I'm getting my upgrade tomorrow, moving from a Galaxy S 3 to the G5, it's a huge step and I admit I'll miss my root access, but I think the phone is awesome enough that it warrants having to wait on a root to be made for it.

I'm using adguard which blocks ads within all apps and that was pretty much my main reason to root. Yeah it cost 10 bucks for the app after a 30 day trial but what's 10 bucks? And this device is so lighting quick I don't feel the need to overclock like I used to and battery life is a non issue having 3 batteries. I don't know. With all that in this device's favor I just don't fee the need for root.

Im glad you dont feel the need for root...but for paying $600 it should be our option...

I couldn't agree more. It's our device and we should be able to do what we want with it. I think the time should come soon though.

Lollipop

So android 5.0 lollipop ci.es out tomorrow. And there's no hope for us with the locked bootloader

Haven't kept up, but if it is GPE it is possible. Don't discount our DEVS--:good:
Also, won't it be 5.0. Think it has been seen on S5--
Several sites talk about this, here's one--
Gpe in my opinion aren't as stable. They lack USB mounting and other details. I don't doubt our devs. It's just they GOD DAMIT I HATE LOCKED BOOTLOADERS!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I know GPE has a couple flaws--but 5.0 will get here--
Are we at least any closer to an exploit or unlock at the bootloader?

Saw a thread on it by muniz-ri, I believe. But not close--imo
I read something about someone having a hack because he supposedly hack the moto something and the hack also applies to s4 and s5 bootloader . I just don't know when he feel like it will be a good time to release it lol

I had an idea...

After reading this http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ncryption-signing-and-locking-let-me-explain/ article, I got to thinking. Could we brute force the private Samsung key and sign our own ROMs? And would such a procedure allow true custom ROMs to be installed?
Just a thought, if it is possible I'd love to fiddle around with it.

ZV4

Looks like we shall be getting a new update soon. LG has posted the source code for ZV4. In the past Sprint has started pushing out updates on Mondays or Fridays.
Could this help out with root?

You can download the source now....i just did but i have no idea on what to do with it
Sent from my LGLS992 using XDA-Developers mobile app
working on putting it together but without fastboot flashing, it might not be worth the effort

Anyone been able to pull the update yet? On my note 4 I could when it was released but I guess it's different on this. Or maybe it's sprint? Who knows.

Just a thought, but what if we build the update from source as "userdebug," adb sideload it, an then use "adb disable-dm-veity"?

I don't really know how to do all that so I'm not sure but hopefully it will drop soon.

Looks like LG has confirmed it.
I read in one of AT&T update threads and a couple users had to actually have their Sim cards replaced then the update worked. Hopefully this isn't the case with ours.

Unrelated I did get a PRL update from 55052 to 55054
I think we'll get it on Monday.

They do it in stages, so we all wont get it at the same time. can take 2 to 3 weeks for everyone to get it. :/ kinda annoying.

I never had a problem pulling them on my note 4 once they were released but they could've changed that. Only time will tell.

Note 7 exchange?

Do you think AT&T would let you pre-order a LG 20 to replace the Note 7?

I just got off of chat with AT&T and they said to wait until the LG V20 is in store then I can exchange it for the Note 7. Still on the fence about it.
