So, my phone reset itself randomly today and I noticed it was unable to turn on Wi-Fi for some reason. I uninstalled an app I've had for a long time called Power Toggles as I know it also can turn on/off the Wi-Fi (to make sure the phone and it weren't fighting) and I got the idea to check the root using Root Checker. Turns out, it failed . . . So something funny is going on.
I have not knowingly taken any type of update but every once in a while, my phone has tried to update and then said it aborted it due to suspected root. Not sure if that's what happened this time around as it happened while it was in my pocket (or at least it was working before I put it away and then later on, it basically stopped working and just seems to continuously reboot for funsies).
I tried rooting my phone using Kingoroot, an LG one click method (both script and GUI) with no luck. I've never had trouble rooting my phone, especially with one click roots before! I reinstalled LG drivers, disabled and re-enabled USB debugger, switched between MTP and PTP connections, etc. I can't seem to get it to recognize the phone. When doing one root method though, it reminded me to accept the RSA fingerprint and I realized that my phone is not asking me for the RSA fingerprint for my computer. I even tried revoking previous fingerprints and no luck there either. So I'm not sure what might be repressing that option but I'm assuming that's the "root" of my rooting issue.
Anyway, does anyone know
a) why my phone would suddenly be acting this way (I think I read someone else had similar symptoms in one of the one click root forums. Tried searching for more mentions but the website seems to be halting and letting me know the issue has been sent to administrators or something to that effect).
b) how do I solve this?
Below is what I'm running:
Android Version
5.0.1
Kernal Version:
3.4.0
Build Number:
LRX21Y
Software Version:
D85021I
Security Software Version:
MDF v1.1 Release 2
I have a TWRP backup made from quite a while ago (possibly a year ago) so i can try and utilize that but I'm not sure if that will do me any good if I can't root my phone first. I don't want to do anything out of desperation that's going to put me into more trouble down the road. At least as of now, my phone boots up correctly (even if it does seem to reset fairly regularly and has a constant battery drain from trying to turn on the wifi).
Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully, I won't just have to buy a new phone . . . :p Thanks in advance!
