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?

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.

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.

Hey All,
Ive been super busy Ghost Hunting and fell a bit behind on looking for a root process for my note 3 on 4.4.4 for ATT. Is there anything I missed? I did some rooting around on here and saw that another person was looking for it as well and there was a post that said to look in this area but I haven't found it. So let me know if you can. Thanks.

Maybe this? I'm running Fire cat so I can't really help .....good luck
Try using Kingo Root. It is really the simplest and easiest way to root almost any phone.

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows any info on who might be working on this. I'd really like to donate to the cause and hopefully get this bad boy rooted.
Thanks for the help and feel free to join in with me

Well I was looking to see if there's a root method for my device, I guess this answers my question.
Got a warranty replacement s5 due to dead GPS chip, and the new one came with of3.

I'm not 100% sure but I'm guessing kingroot you can try them.
Pretty sure kingroot doesn't work

I would like the root to the G925A. But I feel as though with each OTA update that AT&T sends out I get further away from a root. So, my first questions would be is there a way to stop the OTA updates? (The updates piss me off, because it is my phone, and they continue to update it without my permission.) Am I right in thinking that with each update, they tighten the security that prevents a root?
It's not just AT&T anymore. There is no root for any US carrier anymore. This is set in force by Samsung mostly to secure Samsung Pay as well as other mobile payments, etc. It's highly doubtful that going forward, any Samsung device will gain root on the future including the S6.

There is some hope for rooting Marshmallow on this phone. http://www.pcmag.com/news/346832/quadrooter-bug-puts-android-devices-at-risk

The Galaxy S6 line of phones use Samsung's Exynos not Qualcomm; this method wouldn't work.

Ah for some reason I thought the north america version was using a snapdragon...but I guess that's the S7.
Hey guys, just got a hold of my dad's old galaxy tab e. I was hoping their would be some sort of root for it to at least run am ad block. If anyone has any suggestions aside from king/kingo root I'm all ears. (I have tested both neither worked)
