Why are you asking when gingerbread for o2x? It's clear, it will be released the 12/21/2012

You know something Guys...We Have the Leaked Roms..why bother with Blaming LG for the Upgrade when we can actually see that they are really working on it..Slow No doubt but atleast they are working.Its not like anything will change with the official Launch.

Why is it then, that the community can bring out a ROM and they can't? Do they have 1 monkey coding all of it? Their support is just below par and I am never buying a phone from them again.

I agree with that:Even i am not buying another LG...but i am just pointing out that GB is still available....leaked i agree..but available for download none the less...and its pointless to keep creating new topics with the Same Rants!!

Yea i agree, there are some good custom roms here, Modaco, topogigi, CM7 etc

Don't forget that a majority if people doesn't want to bother with root, CWM etc...
And many have also concerns with warranty and don't want to bother with Nvflash and so on...

Now everyone here has probable a history with modding stuff and computers, but my mum who has this phone doesn't. How would she be able to use this phone normally when it keeps rebooting and stuff(which it did on stock).

Which is a weird thing considering the hardware should be the same

Food for thought
Why should we root our phone, void our warranty when it is clearly LG responsibility to resolve them?
Worst support I ever encounter! I will never get another LG fone

I hate it when people are ranting stuff. SE's X10 is stuck with the 2.1 within years. Motorola's Atrix just got it's GB. Not too late for the LG. Samsung's also bombed by rants on discontinuing updates on it's Galaxy Spica. Nokia's symbian line is nearly dead.
But luckily we have lots of talented devs out there all working for free. And all I hear are freaking rants/hate or whatever they forgot to fix.
Go back to the stone age. The stones are final, no bugs attached.

Free Galaxy Nexus

I'll keep it short because I'm having too much fun with my new Galaxy Nexus. My Revo was having problems so I called Verizon yesterday to get it replaced (under warranty). They didn't have any Revos in the warehouse so she asked me what phone I wanted. I told her I wanted a Galaxy Nexus. She said it probably wouldn't be accepted because it is so much newer and more expensive than the Revo, but she went ahead and submitted it. 12 hours later FedEx shows up with my new (refurbished) Galaxy Nexus!
I've already got it unlocked, rooted, flashed, and overclocked. The dev community is amazing on this phone, and the Gummy Rom is amazing. I highly recommend this phone if you get the chance.
On a side note, my issue with the Revo was that it wasn't charging correctly. I thought it was a battery issue so I warrantied the battery and ordered a pair of extended batteries from eBay. Since that wasn't the issue and I no longer have a Revo, if anyone wants to buy any of my two stock batteries or two extended batteries with door, PM me.

BACK STORY:
Well, first I took it into a physical store and asked if there was anyway I could get a different phone instead of another Revo. He said their only option was if it was my third replacement but told me to try calling Verizon. When I called I told the lady everything I could think of to get her to send me a different phone. She told me her hands were tied and could only send me another Revo. I finally caved and told her to go ahead and process it. She then says, "Well, it looks like we don't have any Revolutions in the warehouse so we'll have to send you something else." She then began to read some options: Thunderbolt, Charge, Stratosphere, etc.
ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION:
I told her I really didn't want any of the options she listed and asked if there was any way I could get a Galaxy Nexus instead. She told me she is able to select it, but since it was so much newer and more expensive it would probably be declined. I told her I was willing to take the chance and to go ahead and process it. It obviously worked because I now have a Galaxy Nexus!
TL;DR
I said "Please submit the request for a Galaxy Nexus!"

Who pays to root your phone

Mod edit: Thread close as my paranoid side tells me this is free advertisement. If not, thread closed for teh LULZ then.
Cheerio,
Or is it just simply for people who do not know anything about rooting trying to root
why root when you dont know ?
hmm
maybe just maybe

Well, if you are completely technologically illiterate, then paying $35 dollars is nothing compared to paying $500 to replace your device if you ruin it. Don't you agree?

agree brad

There is alot of reasons people would want their phone rooted even if they didn't know how to do it. Remove bloatware, speed up the UI, use incompatible apps...and alot more.
I do agree that you should do it yourself to know how to fix it if something goes wrong, but when it comes down to it, it is their phone and they can do with it as they please.
The same could be said for basically anything though. If you can't change your own oil, should you be driving a car?

I agree with this. I cant root my phone (on my own). But I followed someone elses guide & was succesful. My GF has a wildfire S, & has constant problems with lack of memory. She cant root, or even follow a guide, but it needs doing to make the phone usable.

Guess it's a service they are providing but consumers might as well go on YouTube or Google and save yourselves $30. God knows how their software works. Good luck to them trying to explain to someone on how to unlock the HTC One X for example with their software.

Wow!

I'm guessing that the website is targeted at the 50-75 years old userbase.

with so many video tutorials out, its sooo easy to root youtube/xda are your friends :good:

The problem is, I know many friends who want to root their phone because they think it will magically make their phone better and faster...

Lol you should explain to them that that's not how It works!
Rooting a phone Is a joke IMO, Who would pay $35? I mean If It were flashing ROM's and what not then I somewhat understand that as that's where the brick can happen but can you really brick doing a simple root that takes less then 5 minutes?

Umm no. You have far more of a chance bricking your phone during the root process than flashing a ROM. Rooting can involve unlocking bootloaders, changing bootloaders, using unsecure boot images, flashing unsecure kernels...all of which can brick a phone...even if doen correctly. Flashing a ROM, 99.99999% of the time will not brick your phone.

I think this is only for very noobs

SM-S920L (Straight Talk[Verizon]) Galaxy Grand Prime 5.0.2

Since there is absolutely ZERO info about this cell, I think those of us should share little what we have. Im uploading a STOCK KERNEL and STOCK RECOVERY file using the FLASHIFY.apk. I am rooted using KINGROOT! The STOCK rom is 5.0.2!

Excellent. The only other person besides myself in the world with this variant. I have posted the the boot.img,recovery.img, and build.prop in another thread to have a custom recovery made, but havent heard anything back yet.

I too am having an issue finding anything for this phone. Not to tech savvy myself but I'm sure something will come soon. Black Friday at Walmart sold a ton of these phones so I'm sure it won't be long.

+1 person
Me too man bought on Black friday and looking to unlock this for t mobile . Let's see what happen ??
EDIT:- Is someone is using for other network than straightalk ??

I too snagged this phone at Walmart on Black Thursday right after a hearty meal of turkey and all the fixin's lol. So far, all I've been able to really accomplish on this device is to root it with KingRoot, replace KingRoot with SuperSU and enable tethering. We really do need a custom recovery for this variant. A permissive kernel would be nice too.

I bought one of these phones from black Friday online from Wal-mart the Straight Talk model but online it shows S920C instead of S920L.... Does anyone know the difference?
http://www.walmart.com/ip/46716426
I don't have the device in hand yet, should be here by the 4th to verify the model number. I posted the link though.

Update
I have a SM-S920L(As screenshot above) and i bought from Best buy and it is locked to Tracfone. I called to cell representative and he told me that it can be unlock after 1 year of use.

I've read somewhere that in order to update you have to get a new SIM card from Straight talk. I myself haven't test this theory so if anyone is able to update after doing so, please post your results for the rest of us.

I read the same just was wondering if there was another way thanks for the info.

If you do find another way let us know. Seems like a pain just to get an update.

So I talked to straight talk and they said that the ota issue don't qualify for a sim replacement. Not to sure how the other people got there's but they refuse to send me one. I will be doing more research to find another way. They also claim that 5.0.2 is the latest version for the phone but the others that have had the sim replaced have 5.1.1

I haven't seen mention of any SM-S920L's on 5.1.1.

This variant is the LTE version. In other words, it's already unlocked. You should be able to put pretty much any SIM in.

Does this mean that LTE phones are unlocked? I always thought it was just a type of 4g just a bit faster
---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------
After further research I have found that 5.0.2 is the latest for the phone so I am assuming that the others that had this and claim it was fixed with new sim was probably just the timing of the update being available and was only to 5.0.2.

After getting the phone in hand it's indeed a S920L and not a S920C as shown on the Wal-Mart website

Is there anyway to change the APN settings on this phone? Just got it today and i am unable to get picture messages from people i was previously getting them from with my old phone/sim. Thanks!

If its a straight talk phone you should be able to go to the Straight Talk website and get the APN APN or VPN whatever you need other than that I don't know

Nope, no way to change it. It's a CDMA/LTE phone on Verizon Wireless.

I have to say this is an awesome phone. I'm using straight talk with TWRP Recovery and Turbos Rom

Any chance of root being patched on non-exploding Note 7 2.0?

I'm waiting for the new batch of Notes to arrive and got me wondering if Samsung might or could do something to stop root. It doesn't seem like they could or really have the time to worry about it with all the problems currently. Also, with a bit of a bad stigma, do you think they will sweeten any deals to get people to buy these former bombs. Personally I love that Samsung is taking a hit and getting knocked down a peg. I still love these phone but all of the sudden the 1% rooting community has a little bigger effect on sales.

That tiny routing community... against the fees they can make from Samsung Pay. Think about it.
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk

There are August and September Android security patches that the Note 7 didn't get. Anyone short of a Samsung project engineer that thinks they can answer that question is probably full of it.

I think a lot would have to change to make the kernel leak not work. And yes , I don't think Samsung will care about us tweakers still but I still like war ching Samsung squirm just a little.

I think the real question is will Samsung be updating this phone at all or will it become the unwanted step child

No I haven't took the update. I'll let somebody else be brave and try that one. Hopefully jovy puts out an updated rom with the new firmware.

The new update is not rootable and you won't be able to go back to PGC if you take the update. If you really want root i advise you to NOT let the rep power on/ setup your phone.....it will likely grab the update and you'll be doomed. Best practice: Do not place sim in device OR connect to wifi Until you have root.

A little extreme lol... The update is 400mb so on LTE that will still take a bit to download, which you have the option to pause for quite a while (this is what I did while I rooted it). You just need to pay attention to the phone.
