Sorry guys but ive been searching already and cannot find anuo to date way yo do this. Towel root doesnt work for an updated VXW LG G2 and niether does stump. Can someone help me out? I really have tried finding this myself but seems like something must have recently changed. Thanks and sorry.
Kdz to 24a will surely work as it is still perfectly rootable.
Stump root using brute force method works on 26A, it is the only working root for 26A, besides KDZing back to 24A, rooting, and updating.
Yep, stump root works with brute force. Takes 5-10 minutes but you'll get there.
Freedom One-Click works as well for installing TWRP. I just did both procedures the other day on a refurb 26A unit I got as a warranty replacement.

I can't help I'm afraid, root hasn't been an issue for me in a very long time, I've been on AOSP ROM since 12B. There are plenty of users who can help here though.

Np thanks. I downloaded latest Stump but wondering how you do the 'brute force' method. Does it auto start a brute force method of sorts?
(that's directed at any one else too)
---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------
I'm an idiot. You just run it and it auto detects that it has to brute force.
Thanks. I'll let it go and see what it does. :good:
Edit2: Worked great.

I wonder if I should wait to ROM, since we'll get Lollipop by end of next year (at least on Verizon it'll take that long).

26A isn't magic, to custom ROMs is just another radio for the most part... There isn't a huge compatibility difference and just about any aftermarket ROM/kernel built for 24A will work on 26A, and vise versa. In any ROM or kernel read the first few posts, they usually give the requirements for them, notice most say "official KitKat baseband" and not a specific version, although a few ROMs do specify a specific version, always read and ask for each specific instance if your not sure.
I can not get anything to root my phone on 26a. Tried stump and towel , now im debating on going back toot 24a but i don't wanna risk losing everything
Dude you're doing something wrong. Stump worked on the 4 G2 Verizon phones I've tried it on. 26A.
Did you enable usb debugging? Turn off app verify, etc. What happens after it reboots twice after brute force?
Give some more effin info than "it doesn't work".

Hrm, it has to be one of the silly phone settings.
You want: USB Debugging enabled, (next couple ar ein Security settings)Verify Apps disabled, Allow Unknown sources enabled.
Is your phone currently encrypted? Did you enable that feature already? Try removing the lock screen, if you currently have one set.
Uninstall Stumproot. ARE YOU SURE you're on the latest version that can brute force 26A? Enable the above and reinstall. He put out updates once it became available, since people said they were getting "unsupported device" errors.

I have the update available as well, it auto downloaded when I hit check for update so be aware.
Mine JUST started! Glad I caught it during download and shut the phone off. Just rooted yesterday and I'll be pissed if I lose it! lol. Hopped on so I could find what needed frozen in TiBu to stop it.

Opposite here. I took the update and want to root. According to the root thread, OE2 can be rooted so I should be good. We'll see.

Are you saying that you're rooted and that you simply have the ability to update but haven't taken the OTA? Or you've verified that your phone is rooted, taken this OTA and your phone is working fine? I didn't think you could take the OTA rooted.

It appears so. When I attempt to run the exploit, I'm notified that my device isn't supported yet. I'm not too worried as the team seems to be chewing through devices and updates at a cyclic rate.
So... most important thing to know here that nobody has mentioned...
How do you prevent it from updating if you're not rooted? Or is the answer to this question still "root the device" -_-

This is just my opinion, and since everyone has one, take it for what you will, but I've frozen the AT&T Software Update because assuming Samsung patches the root in the next update and sends it to the carriers to distribute, do you really want to do everything you can to get the next update even if you lose root?
Personally, I've done everything I could to get root, even if this cost me Samsung Pay which hopefully it won't, because someone smart enough on here will figure out how to patch the update with a ROM that we can flash later.....
Obviously that won't work right this second since we can't flash anything but Smart Switch / Odin stock junk, but assuming Safestrap or similar gets released, you can keep your bootloader lock all you want ATT, we'll just flash what we want over it!

Haha, looks like I was updating my post at the same time you were posting.
What I was actually looking for was a way to do it without rooting seeing as we still have no confirmation regarding Samsung Pay functionality and root breaking it. At some point in the near future in my career, things like Samsung Pay, Apple Pay, etc are going to become useful so I need to have mine handy.
Alright, before I get all into this post, If I'm like, posting this in the wrong section I apologize deeply. New, but I would love to have this question answered.
I recently switched from iPhone to my Nexus 6. Love it. I want to root my Nexus 6 though, I have this from T-Mobile and it's running Android 5.1 right now, are there any guides out there or videos that you could link that runs me through how to root it that won't break my phone since I'm running 5.1? Thanks.

You don't need to flash twrp.
a) You can fastboot boot cf-auto-root.img
b) You can fastboot boot twrp.img and then adb sideload root.zip through it.
This is a Nexus with fastboot. Not a samsuck.

2 & 3 both, to your option of obtaining root. its your opinion and that's all it is. as my method has been used for many years and answers his question, correctly. all you are doing is giving a new option. which in no way makes my way unnecessary nor bad advice.
Like posted before, just download wugfresh's root toolkit in the nexus 6 forums. It's very easy to use and basically does all the work for you, and if you screw something up it's usually a pretty simple fix. But remember to ALWAYS back up your data before doing anything incase something goes wrong or delete your data by mistake. If you need more help just pm me.

He can always come here and learn it the proper way. After opening a dozen of threads of "help my phone is bricked".
Cleaned (despite being in Q and A). And closed.
The OP should make their own mind up on the evidence AND experience provided by "Recognised" sources.
had the OTA update show up today for the tmobile oneplus 6t, it downloaded and verified fine, applied and requested a reboot. Result is = one bricked phone, cannot get to even bootloader. error message is "build version and HW version is not match". This was with the stock tmobile software...
If you read these forums, you'd see that method was only for Int'l phones. Find some posts made by me to find out how to flash Android 10 on T-Mobile branded 6Ts

Look 3 posts above at my reply. You have to download the OB1 zip and extract it using the tool I posted. Then flash through fastboot in the order that the post says. Bootloader must be unlocked. You can also download the patched boot.img with magisk.

You don't have to flash the patched boot.img. With the stock boot.img you won't have root, the patched one will give you root access. Never lock your bootloader if your rooted.
