I see. Is that how the exploit is spelled? Spent a few minutes on several search engines, and couldn't find anything about that exploit. As for rebooting, I used to have a working Optimus F3 phone (until it overheated to epic proportions ), and had to boot twice to get into CWMT recovery, IIRC. I also do the same thing with my recently rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 tablet. That one has the TeamWin recovery for it, v. 2.8.

I also noticed that the Tribute doesn't have a Download mode on it. I've tried all the button combos, and even tried to see if the LG Flash tool could turn that on via PC. No dice. As for pushing su, tried that via adb through Ubuntu. Can't get the phone in root mode, but I tried.

Speaking of the F3... I miss root so much for a phone, that I'm (semi-seriously) considering getting a decent used one that isn't yet rooted! I'm fairly sure that if I did, it should still run some of the latest games I like, even with the thing at JB 4.1.2. If I do get one, I'll probably leave it stock, and just disable/freeze the bloat I don't use.

Download mode does work. Just hold on to Volume UP, then hook it to a USB cable, then to a PC. The Download prompt comes up. Still haven't seen a flashable BIN type file for the F3. I presume when and if LG ever puts out a BIN file for this model, it can be flashed through the LG Flash Tool for Windows.

Ok, looked it up but it's for the Euro F60: LG F60 Firmware List BOO. Nothing for us in North America...

Thanks! I got this to work with my Virgin Mobile USA LG Tribute. I even have TWRP installed, which is great as there's no custom ROM or stock firmware file for the Tribute yet.
