Maybe it's just the LG suite that has the problem as I have no problem with win file manager seeing the phone. I see a lot of people are having that issue. I've tried everything in that regard that I can think of. I want to be sure my USB device drivers installed on my Win 10 PC would allow connecting properly should I need that to work for anything and right now LG PC Suite bloatware is having problem connecting to phone. I have this one but I'm still not sure of exact steps.

Thanks for the feedback and if I do decide to go ahead and try rooting again I want to use whatever method that leaves the phone as much like stock as possible. I would not want to open up hacking exploits by having some root process running that I know little about. That brings up another issue of concern since I don't know much about android nor android apps. Do all rooting methods leave a process running that takes care of the rooting and can thus have conflicts? I was kind of under the impressing that it was just assigning admin authority like in windows, set it and forget it. I went and installed KingRoot thinking that I could just run it once, root it and forget about it. I really don't know that much about it yet. Or maybe I am just misunderstanding the whole process. I've never had an SD card, yet, for example and reading about that so far it sounds like things can get messy if you move apps to the SD card and all that, if the phone is rooted. In other words I'd just like to be able to root, then forget about it, I don't want to have to continually manage the root. One question I have on rooting is, I would like to insure the phone is still able to get all of the automatic updates or update notifications from MetroPCS or google play store.

Before I proceed further in rooting, or flashing I want to read up on everything to more fully understand all ramifications. Yes I do not see anything left now anywhere.
