Root LS660 Root/Recovery

1st. I like this phone and plan as it is. Id just like to be able to back it up just in case something happens.

2. It's way too late to take it back. I've had this phone for a while now.

3. Not sure what differences there'd be. I'm on zv5 and it's the Tribute.

4. When I got my Event (now bricked) from walmart, everything was the same.

5. So thanks but this doesn't help really :/

Maybe try Best Buys. I got two, Virgin Mobile USA, for $40 a piece! First one broke...physically! Both rooted on the first try using the LG Root Tool. No problems! If you go that route..also get a good case. The backside is so slick, they're easy to drop! (hence my need to buy a second!)
Tempered glass screen protectors on Amazon from MyBat $6.22 w/free s&h.

It is a life saver. My protector is now cracked in several places, plus crushed corners and sides from being in my pocket with keys (and dropped hundreds of times). Getting ready to buy another. My screen is in perfect shape, I would have had to buy another (couple) phone if not for it. FYI mine is from March, so a great piece of insurance.

My friends Tribute that I rooted with Kingroot gave him a nag to update apparently. I'm going to visit him tomorrow and was wondering if there's a way to either eliminate a future nag or exchange the root method?
As far as the update, just unchecked notifications in app manager for Google Play Services. That will remove the notification from nagging anymore.
