How to I root my LG Optimus Dynamic II Tracfone? (LGL39C)

[AC Question]

First things first, yes. I'm a n00b (or noob, i bet that was a nooby/n00by mistake) Anyway, HOW THE HECK do I root this thing? I want to get CynanogenMod on it or SOMETHING because I hate how its white and stuff. It has alot of it, making it look like the LG 840G or something. I just want a stock Android experience and a root. I rooted my OUYA pretty easily, but on this i'm stumped. So can someone help me? Give a clear explanation, and remember: this is the 2ND optimus dynamic, not the 1st.

Hello. Researching has led me to find no root method for your phone. I will keep looking for it and will let you know if I find anything.

If the kernel is dated earlier than June 3, 2014 (Settings/General/About device/Kernel) Towel Root should do it. Then again, since Tracfone uses a proprietary operating system, it may brick the phone.

What do you mean by proprietary operating system? I'm trying towel root now. It has android 4.1.2, shouldn't be a problem, right?

Towel root didnt work. Someone had the same question as me and said they used framework root. Whats that?

Yes I'm trying to figure out the same thing. As to how to root this phone and what "Frameroot" is....

To root the LG Optimus Dynamic 2, I downloaded the KingRoot apk.

Also, I got Root Checker Basic from the app store to confirm if I was indeed rooted.

Worked for my LGL39C

So, I just rooted my phone and it worked fine. I originally rooted to be able to update from 4.1 (Jellybean) to 4.4 (kitkat). From what I can see, I can't... could I maybe be missing something? I used this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZamGyO86s6Y and the links in its description to help. Thanks.
