Just ordered a Moto X for Verizon and I need to find information about tethering this phone to my pc. I use this alot because I have unlimited data through VZW... So it would be really nice to continue using it.

As of right now you'd need to root (then use WiFi Tether, or make the necessary changes to use the stock tethering). FoxFi doesn't work w/ the Moto X on KitKat at the moment. No word on when it will, but it may be related to a cert issue in KitKat.
Root is no issue for me... I think the longest any of my phones have gone without root access is maybe 6 days from purchase... I've always rooted my phones. First thing I researched when ordering the X was whether or not they had root for kitkat

try using easy tether ... and foxfi has updated and works on kitkat on my s4... get the add-on and key, and you're golden :good:
You didn't define whether the phone you ordered is a Developer Edition. Because as far as I know only the DE can be rooted on Verizon.
I was just curious if anyone out there has Rooted their T-mo or Other carrier G Flex. I love aspects of Rooted devices (Vibrant, Sensation, Galaxy 2,3 various other devices) however I have found that with a lot of the newer devices that are coming out, I haven't really felt the need to root. Are there any real advantages to rooting my G Flex, or if Im happy with it should I just leave it be?
More specifically however, has anyone used the VROOT method?
Not yet I'm really happy with it I feel like I don't want to **** anything up

Well on the ATT model there is a ton of bloat as well as Carrier IQ. So yeah I rooted and am happy now.
TMO here and I've rooted for AdAway and Root Explorer. Think I'm going to wait for a solid recovery to be released before I do much more.

Not yet, I guess given that the phone was just recently released I want to wait until there is (or isn't) significant developer support for this phone. If not, then I won't do any modifications with it and dump it in 6 months and use a JUMP from Tmo.
Since I rooted, is my Jump nullified meaning I can't use it now?
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk
Tmobile does NOT care if your phone is rooted when you go to use a Jump..
I have the T-Mobile flex and i rooted with ioroot. So that i can use xposed +gravity for pie and expanded
desktop view. Works flawlesssly!!!!!
I'll probably root once there is a working TWRP recovery..until then, I can wait, cause this phone is so sweet is so many ways right out of the box..
I have Tmobile flex. I rooted to get rid of bloat and so I can use titanium backups. I have to say, there are some similarities between LG UI and touchwiz but I think LG has this a little better organized. Haven't played with exposed on here yet but I will.
Sent. Edited. Sent again. Deleted, and rewritten. Sent again.
Bought the G Flex release day and rooted that same night! Got rid if the bloat with TiB and now messing with some of the xposed modules. Best. Choice. Ever.

Are there any sprint user that rooted there phones and could maybe list the bloatware apps that they had removed? Im thinking of rooting my phone so i can uninstall couple of bloatware there but since im new to LG im not sure which apps are safe to uninstall besides the sprint crap any help would be appreciated thanks.

I used ioroot..manual method. Did you have trouble with that one?
I haven't rooted yet; just got this thing on Thursday, and want to make sure I am keeping it before I do.
Plus, I might wait a bit and see if by some miracle, kitkat gets pushed out for this guy, in the next week or 2,and I dont want to have to unroot it, in order to get that.
I know the chances aren't good for that, but, I like to learn about a new phone for a week or 2, then decide what I want to do with it, so I am not in a big hurry to root; there is no custom recovery yet, and of course, no roms, so I can be patient.
Thanks everyone for the insight, seeing as this thread has brought more to the table than just tmo answers and users I'll leave it be. I have, with some regret, opted to swap my phone for a Note 3. I had an issue where I would get temporary screen burns (lasting no more than a few seconds). Seeing as these are high end devices, I expected better from lg. The screen burn a side, the flex really is a great phone.

Hello,
I'll be getting my flex in a few days and was wondering if the att g flex has carrier IQ activated and/or installed. I know it is (and can be deactivated via root) on the att G2 but I haven't heard anything on the Flex. Thanks!

I used the G2 method to get rid of it. You need root and I use System Tuner Pro. It stays off that way and I dont have to worry about it.

Is there a way to enable ART on stock rooted 24a via build.prop? If so what do we need to change?
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I've been scouring the web for this as well. I can't even find a decent guide to what all of the build.prop parts do, much less where ART is hiding.
Anyone out there know anything about this? I hope we don't have to wait for Android L to do this, because you know Verizon will be the last carrier to allow it.
I don't think all the LG legacy apps are compliant with ART, specifically quick remote, something to consider if you use it.
Yeah, there's that... Maybe we're better off waiting until LG updates the G2 to L, as ART will be the default.
And hopefully LG will use that as an opportunity to update their own apps.

I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that Rovo figures out how to enable xposed on ART, I know I won't be updating until that happens. Xposed is too d*mn useful...

So this weekend at least, the G2 is showing up as free for 2 yr upgrades, and I have a spare upgrade on my account I can use. I currently have a bootloader locked Note 2, running safestrap recovery, using a custom TouchWiz ROM. (no AOSP unfortunately for safestrap on the n2 )
I am wondering what the G2 community thinks about upgrading to this phone from a Note 2. Camera wise the G2 looks far better. The screen and battery are only slightly smaller, so I don't feel that is an issue, but how is it, nuts and bolts wise? Signal, reliability, etc. I see some GPS issues which may be of concern, and I am slightly unsure of the bootloader issue. I would prefer to unlock, root, and install what I please, and I *think* what I found is that you can push an older, unlocked bootloader to the latest update? Is that correct?
Anything else you can tell me that may help?
Thanks in advance
I came from a BL unlocked N2 and personally I love my G2. I had no issues rooting or unlocking the BL and I was running 24A. I would hands down go with the G2 if you are looking to upgrade but if you could wait and spend 200 then I would go with the G3 that troops in 2 weeks. Just my opinion.
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk 2
No I have no interest in spending $200. I like spending free.
Am I correct that the bootloader on the G2 is easily unlocked still? Is 24A the latest update then?

Bootloader can't be unlocked but the devs have found a work around that allows you to flash away!

The Freedom Tool is to get a custom recovery in this bad boy. I know one can use autorec to get a recovery, but I've read good and bad about it. I used Freedom for the recovery and ioroot25 to root.
Here's what I understand about flashing: if you're already running 24A from the official ota, then root/recovery, you can flash away (as long as the ROM is based on 24A, some are not). If you root on a 12B or 11A (I think) then you have to go and flash another zip prior to a ROM to get the 24A baseband.
I haven't flashed a custom rom so don't know about how they run. 2 reasons:
1) I feel LG did a great job with stock and with xposed, can do almost anything that a custom offers.
2) There are instances of screens being jacked up after a flash. Read through the development section and there's a dedicated thread that reports the issue. I realize warranty will cover a replacement but I'm too lazy to deal with that hassle.

Well I did order one, so ill give it a go. Ill definitely check into the screen issue as that is a bit concerning. As long as I have root and recovery I'll be good. Seems odd that flashing a ROM would have an effect on the screen but well see. Thanks for the info

Came from a note 2 as well. G2 is much better. Honestly the note 2 was annoyingly bulky. Camera is better on the g2, signal is similar, screen resolution is MUCH better, it doesn't lag like TW. Good upgrade. :thumbup:
