Linux isn't much better than osx. They still suffer from not being able to install programs easy.

wouldn't call it advanced. I'd call it behind. it's more for simple use. like a chrome book

the only ones that have to worry about security risk are those that have something to hide

everyone has their own likes and dislikes. I've used ubuntu "OOO-BOON-TOO" off and on for years. and other forms of linux before that. Tried Mac for two weeks packed it back up and took it back.

I tried windows 8, ran screaming for my life.:vroam:

windows only has gaming and a ui a turnip could use and most likely hack. Linux ui might be lacking to someone stuck in a Windows world, but windows can not touch linux. The internet runs mostly off BSD and linux

. Windows is full of security holes, only way to fully secure a windows machine is to not turn it on.

Oh and most the movies etc you oo000oo and awww over how great the effects etc are were done on a mac.

win8.1 pose to bring back the start button and booting direct to desktop.

OSX isnt bad unless you just been raised on windows and not really gave anything else a chance... or a big gamer. now its not my prefered OS either, but I would still love a MBP or a PowerMac Pro ($10k+). lol

I hate CGI. looks like crap. lol

like i said, everyone has things they like and things they don't.

even though we disagree on what platform is better. I still like and respect you. you do a lot for us with out expecting anything in return.

now on topic. i agree this phone is finicky with rooting. you can try once and get root or try 50 times and something finally clicks. weird

Factory reset sometimes fixes that issue. Not always though.

killajoe · May 5, 2013

The steps I take to re root and and restore.

1.put phone in download mode and re flash stock firmware.
2. Factory reset phone. (If I don't do this the exploit program says can't write superuser. Probably because there is tidbits left behind im guessing)
3. Root. Sometimes it takes ruining the exploit program twice. But always sticks the second time.

for those that have trouble getting the root to take. the way I've found it works is by having the phone set to USB Tethering

You sir, are a genius!

After my phone failed to reboot after displaying "failed to open..." dialog messages when attempting to open some apps, I had to use the "Unbricking/Unroot/Return to Stock LG Spirit 4G"

Problem was the I couldn't Re-Root my phone again.

I couldn't figure out why. It's so simple to do, yet it would take until I read your post and tried the "USB Tethering" radio button.

After that, no problem.

Thanks again!
