How to Root LG Thrive P506

LG Thrive P506 can offer many surprises if you make room for root access on it. This brings along a lot of stuff that’s innovative. Take a look below and experience the rooting for yourself!

Your LG Thrive is guaranteed the presence of many and very useful novelties. Since it was released 3 years ago, your phone’s 600 MHz ARM 11 CPU has been needing some improvement. And that is about to happen once you install SRSRoot. This is the rooting tool which will make all the difference. Apart from turning the processor into a faster one, the app can also bring about new features. Besides these, the device will have custom ROMs and the same Android 2.2.1 Froyo OS it’s been using since the release. This tool is able to work extremely well with all of the Android versions Google’s launched till now (and will in the future).

The benefits of this method

The SRSRoot is free and it’s powered by an SRS Server. Customization and battery tools come together with admin / superuser permission. A rooting will also include root-only apps. This freeware application isn’t going to introduce your LG Thrive P506 to unnecessary programs, files and so on. By using this app, your device can be sure that no security problems will appear along the way. Even if your product isn’t the one mentioned in here, you’ll still be able to use the SRSRoot just fine. Last but not least, consider a Build ID before you root the smartphone. FRG83 is the one we used. Another benefit of working with the SRSRoot is that it allows you to use the Build ID of your choice.LG-Thrive-P506

As is the case with all of the rooting procedures, exposing your device to one leaves it warranty-less. Having this important element back is a job for a dedicated guide. Pay attention, though: to have the warranty restored, don’t use a post that contains another gadget model.

After the handset receives update material, its system partition will be erased. Likewise, the smartphone’s root access will suffer a blow by being revoked. No bad stuff is able to affect the product’s important data or internal / external SD cards.

  3. As soon as these actions are behind you, perform the one which tells you to open the app on the laptop. You should then find Settings after tapping Menu on the phone. After you enable these options, turn on Unknown Sources. Its whereabouts are under the Settings option.
  4. The task you have to do now tells you to tap the following (if you didn’t do it before now): USB Debugging. The laptop and your LG Thrive P506 need to have a connection generated between them.
