Root Root for Fierce 2?

Kimdon7 said:
Okay now my device is coming up as not recognized. I'm using windows 7. When I connect the USB cable I am getting a message that says "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it...." I have had the phone less than a month why has it suddenly stopped connecting to my PC?

There are few things you can do. First, try a different USB cable and or a different USB port on your computer. Second, try rebooting your phone and see if that fixes the problem. Third, errors may have developed in the drivers for your phone so you'll need to uninstall and reinstall them. To do that, connect your device to your PC, then go the Control Panel and select "Device Manager". If your phone is connected, you should see "Other Devices" in the list, if so double click on it. You'll see a device called "Android" that is the USB driver for the Fierce 2. Right-click it and select uninstall. Once that's done, disconnect your phone from your PC, wait a few seconds and then reconnect it to your PC. The USB driver should reinstall itself on your PC and your PC should be now be detecting your phone's storage.

If you have anymore questions or more USB issues feel free to ask!

Disabled more apps and uninstalled more apps so I have more RAM available. I don't really use this phone for gaming but if it's smooth with the games you listed I might get more games [emoji1]
Also judging by your name have you seen the LG Optimus L60 I've been looking into that phone but I need to ask questions to someone who owns that phone

Absolutely! Also, if you decide to do some retro gaming(emulators), I suggest getting a bluetooth game controller. It makes a world difference especially with the classic platfomers(Mario, Sonic). Did you mean the L70 or the L60.

I do use emulators a lot, thanks for the suggestion mate! And the LG Optimus L60 for Metro.
So far this phone has gone bad on me and I've taken it to the store but apparently I know more then they do.
Problems I got with this phone are the phone speaker won't work so I have to use the loud speaker for calls( I bought a Bluetooth to resolve this but still annoys me. ) Also sending SMS take forever and receiving them is a pain I get them 30-60 mins after the person who sent it. Other issues are minor but annoying and I'm planning on getting another phone.

I'm experiencing a few quirks with this phone too. I hope to keep it as my daily driver for while. If you don't mind the screen size, the ZTE Zmax looks like a great option and LG's F60 looks pretty good too.

I started experiencing some random reboots and invalid Sim card. Will be switching phones soon and at the price of the Zte max I could easily get a nexus 5 or Moto x(2014) unlocked.
I'm really looking into the L60.
Also would you mind staying what quirks you're experiencing?

Sure, over the past week or so, my phone's touch screen will sometimes register touches on its own or won't respond to any touch inputs at all. Simply locking and unlocking the screen fixes it, but it seems to happen at least once a day. The second is the quick settings icon(in the drop down notification screen) will sometime be partially cut off or disappear all together. Thankfully, I haven't had any issues with the phone rebooting itself or anything more serious than that.

Unless one of the Chinese root apps gets updated with an exploit for this phone, I don't think any dev here or xda will waste their time on it.

Waste their time? So any device that isn't flagship class or from a well known manufacturers isn't worthy of their "precious" time? Nice. Real nice.

Aha I had a phone that would never get development but it did it even got about 30+ ROMs so I do have hopes for this phone I can also donate one to a developer [emoji14]

Unless of course you are willing to give up a chunk of cash for a dev.

Skinlab, I apologize if my post rude came off as rude. I was just frustrated that android users of lesser known devices may be left out in the cold when it comes to root access and ROM development. Not your fault of course. Just venting really.:p

You didn't come across as rude at all. I understand what you are saying.
 
LG Fanatic said:
Hmm, do you have USB debugging enabled in your device?
Click to expand...
Yes, usb debug is enabled but adb wont install. I tried looking for it and downloading it myself to install manually but the sources I found provide adb with download managers that want to install other irrelevant software that is not wanted.
If you have a clean source that would be great, and appreciated greatly.
