Pretty much gotta wait now until root is made for zv9 now
Sent from my LG-LS995 using XDA Free mobile app

Yep. Hopefully development on this phone isn't completely dead....especially with the LS996 coming out very shortly.
I really could use the PRL update along with the wifi calling update which I use frequently since the AirRave they sent isn't compatible with this phone (that's what sprint told me).

Ohkay so im completly new at this but I used stump roots brute force method on my LG-LS995, and it worked twice. Little did i know I had been upgraded to lolipop, so when I tried a wifi hot spot hack (messing up the actual process the first time) I ended up in boot loop. Im currently working on fixing my phone. I was dumb but I'm learning. Anyway, you can brute force v9 with stump root.

This is confirmed working on the i537 AT&T leaked 4.3? Screenshots if you have please, just curious. I'm still on 4.2.2 stock w/ SafeStrap installed. Didn't really look into getting 4.3 leaked since only root methods supposedly had malware. :fingers-crossed:
Screens hots are borked in the leak but trust me in have already flashed a lock screen mod and can confirm it worked

Sweet deal, I'll check it out when I get a little free time off from work. I won't be able to get any OTA/Official updates from AT&T for my i537 anyways since I switched to Tmo last year. Locked BL sucks!

Look at my list of previous devices. All have been modded mainly with info from XDA. I have been my own guinea pig plenty of times, I assure you.
I'm not saying you cant...I discovered this worked for our device by going out on a limb a trying it. If I could get the ota I would have already tried.

That's what I did after turning off data while it was downloading the file to stop it and restarted my phone and it hasn't tried to download it again. But I've never dealt with this before so hopefully someone more experienced can chime in that would be great. Usually it ask for permission but mine just started doing it on its own.

How to unroot?

I've just rooted my device using geohot's towelroot.apk and now I can't use my ISIS wallet app for my free Jamba Juice smoothies. I'm searching around and I can't find a method to unroot.
Kies3 isn't working either as it says "firmware initialisation is not supported by this model"
PLEASE HELP!
Edit: I've also tried to use SuperSU to unroot, but it won't let me update the binaries and just force closes
Edit 2:
*** PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR ALL OTHER USERS THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE
I found out that you cannot use the SuperSU downloaded from the play store as it will just force close. Download the apk from this link: http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip
SuperSU should be able to update itself successfully after you open the application. Afterwards, you can use the permanent unroot option from the settings and that's it! I'm going to go get my free smoothie now.
I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AND NEED TO UNROOT ALSO.

Yes. You will install the superuser apk that is floating around if you haven't already and then update the binaries after you open the app.
Then go to settings in the superuser app and do the permanent unroot. I also uninstalled the towel root app too just in case. Then reboot and you should be unrooted.
