Root [MetroPCS & T-Mobile] [APP][ROOT] Saferoot app

As some of you may already know saferoot is a versatile root method used for several devices including but not limited to the LG Optimus F3 and F6.

Well with a lot of help from pressypie and my own due diligence we have it working from an app. Yes you read that correctly, you can once again root w/o a PC with a tap of the screen. :)

Thanks for the work. Is the unroot process completely reversible or partially? In case a good OTA update is released. Also, is this compatible with all firmwares for F6?

unroot should be full. Dunno about OTA's those can always break things when it comes to root. ;)

Worked on metropcs ZTE avid 4g. You just gotta run it twice.
 
I've run into a problem where I go to install this and my phone is telling me i have no free space. So I went and freed up all I can imagine could take up any space. I have 1.04 gigabytes of free space on my phone and still, I apparently do not have enough space. Has anyone else been having this problem?
 
im failed -f, no such file or directory
im failed -f, no such file or directory

all finished press any key to exit


i cant find any other post but yours to root my phone so any help would be greatly appreciated.

going 8 hours strong on this project...

I have successfully rooted my LG Optimus F3 (MetroPCS) using saferoot.apk and I am trying the same on an F6 (MS500-12b).
When I say "Attempt to Root" it does nothing ... (actually it briefly starts then goes back to the same screen).
Any suggestions?
Thank you! Antonella

This is for the F3 and does not work on the F6.

For rooting the F6 go HERE or head over to the F6 section of Android Forums.
