Root Lg f60 metro pcs

So just curious.. Does any one think this phone will get root any time in the near future? Im the type who doesnt really enjoy a phone unless i can root it and unlock its full potential. Ive honestly been debating as to whether or not i should just get an f6.
 
Oh man that would be so great!!! I really hope so. This phone is a great device. I play asphalt 8 no problem. I can just imagine how itll run overclocked on a slimmed down rom.

Your device is on 10b? Mine is on v10d from MetroPCS. I've been talking to MetroPCS over facebook hopefully they can eventually ask lg which was my response.

"MetroPCS 9:19pm Jan 13
Hi ____ - The KDZ firmware files are supplied by the manufacturer. You may be able to find it on an external forum in the event that LG cannot supply it to you. Thank you, AR"

Hey noobi...yes the ph i hav has v10b I found out that the firmware was built for both US-EU... TMUS.... It may be compatible... Cus it has drivers for both devices... SPECS are a bit different..The sh*€+ its that the root its not sicking... It goes tru... But when it reboots it disappear... I think that's why they havent put it in yet... A Good Samaritan told me that probably my firmware was a test one... For both markets.... Trying to get around this... So upset....

Whoa. Have they found an exploit that would also work for us?

He was referring to the fact there's no LG f60 (and metropcs varient, optimus f60) category for sub-forums to fall under.

This phone's been out since September of last year right?

Correct. It is strange we haven't gotten a forum for it yet. I imagine if or when we gain root access we'll see some interest from developers to create roms. So, a separate forums would be very helpful.

Looks like we're waiting on Google now. View attachment 83248

Grrr.:mad: I don't see why we have to wait for Google, since this bug is not an issue for users who aren't interested in rooting their devices. Considering this bug was found months ago, who knows how long we'll have to wait.:( Any way, thanks Noobified for keeping us up to date on the F60's root progress.

A crafted application can really hurt your phone or your information. They want to make sure Google fixes it so no one will use this code to attack users in any way who aren't looking to gain root. Google tried to patch it but it looks like it didn't work. While we wait , another team is trying to recreate the exploit.

That's a very good point. I guess my impatience for root access got the better of me.:p
