LG FIESTA LTE? LG X POWER 2? Are they one and the same, is there a ROOT solution?

[Cinephile 74]

Greetings devs, advanced users, enthusiasts.
I purchased this LG Fiesta LTE Model number LG L64VL, a StraightTalk device on Verizon's (Yay) network. I'm convinced that in a former life, my name actually was Murphy S. Lá. because this is my fourth impossible-to-root device in a row. After 5 or so months of study on rooting, APK, ADB, sideloading, TWRP, the ever important custom recovery, the almighty ROM. As with all other attempts, no cwm, TWRP, LineageOS. Not a single one-click-root has worked, either.
Any review of the LG X POWER 2 will read like the box my Fiesta LTE came in, but there is very little information about this model available on any given website, even LG.com. So, the question has the parts : Are they in fact the same model, is there a known ROOT solution, and can a custom recovery be interchanged?
*EDIT*... 19 minutes later...
You see about Murphy's Law? I spent an hour trying not to sound like I'm describing the perpetual nuclear holocaust of the sun with the words, "It go boom." (D. K.©), and the VERY NEXT PAGE I STUMBLE on to, is the FCC IDs for not 1 or 2 devices, but 3!
So, 1/3 of the question answered. The LG Fiesta LTE and the LG X POWER 2 are, according to the FCC, the same device.

I'm seeking the answer to this too. My mother bought this phone on sale (~$60 at walmart) and loves it. Problem is, it has lockscreen ads and random popup ads every so often of using the phone. I've done everything within my knowledge base to help remove those, but without root I cannot disable/uninstall certain system/embedded apps. (Unless someone can tell me how).

The LG Fiesta LTE (otherwise known as the lgl64vl) is a very nice device, but we need a root for it. Does anyone know how to test the theory above, that the Fiesta is the same as the X Power, and if so, how to make that root work on this device? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, I too, bought this phone last night as a $99 emergency replacement for my Nexus 6 and I must say I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with it. So of course the next step was to check for a root method which brought me here with you guys. I'll keep looking around and check back with y'all later

The first step is going to be unlocking the bootloader. The LG website actually had a bootloader unlocking tool very much like HTC. I don't have a PC atm or I'd try it myself. I did go through the account setup and got an LG account.

Perhaps unlocking the bootloader would make one of the other root methods work.

Maybe if you unlock the bootloader first...? I don't have a PC or I'd try it myself.

Lg Fiesta 2 (l164vl)

Any progress on the LG l164v1 Fiesta 2 LTE ? I have not had any success. But love the phone

Hello All,
I haven't had any progress with rooting this phone, nor finding anyone else that has in my many hours of searching. Also believe that lg, straight talk, tracfone, one of em, has purposely locked out or simply not included a bootloader with these phone, or mine at least. Checking the build info, I've discovered that ro.boot.recovery=false and bootloader info is unknown. I haven't been able to load into anything other than a factory reset screen with the option to cancel or reset. All other, hard button (can't think of name atm sorry), and adb commands all just reset phone. Does this phone actually not have a bootloader or a recovery? Can they do that? Like is it just that they haven't provided a /recovery partition or just locked it out from users? If I could change to.boot.recovery=false to =true, if I can even do so without adb root access that is, would it make a difference? Maybe inshoukdve put this on a new thread lol. Have many questions but hopefully someone out there is working on this as well and could give some insight as to what is actually going on? I 'll be keeping an eye on this and possibly make a new thread to combat this issue/these issues. Put together some great minds and we can accomplish root on this great device!! (Minus this huge fault it surely has).

I went to the LG Dev site signed up. But couldn't find anything on the unlocking of the bootloader for LG l164vl LG Fiesta 2 LTE. Lots of info on how to, and warning about using the worng one killing the phone. Has anyone been successful unlocking bootloader with the LG website tools? If yes what model did you use?
