Root [Virgin Mobile/Sprint] Rooting without PC? (VM LG Optimus F3)

[blackcoffee]

Does anyone have a step by step rooting method for the f3 that does NOT require a PC? As i have no computer, or access to one to use for this purpose. New to these forums not sure if this has been addressed already. Appreciate any help / opinions

Nope, not yet. Don't you have a local library?

sorry reply took a while. yes, but they wouldn't allow use of them for this unfortunately. what's the best abs / or easiest method with a pc? I've read differing options and opinions about this

Well that might depend on what Software version you are running v5 the motochopper in this forum works fine with V5 but with V6 you need to use other options.
Personally I used Kingo http://www.kingoapp.com/ and it worked without issue on v6 the problem with kingo it installs to the pc like any other program which is probably not going to be an good option on a public pc.. Here is another option http://androidforums.com/virgin-mob...g-optimus-f3-w-virgin-mobile.html#post6395116

Not Android version the "Software Version".
Go to System Settings- About Phone - Software Version LS720ZV6 or LS720ZV5 is at the bottom

Oops, that should have occured to me actually. Its LS720ZV6
