Verizon Galaxy S3 4.4.2 Rooted Custom Recovery Question

Looked through google, looked through threads, can find nothing whatsoever to help.

Have Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III Unlocked running Straight Talk VIA sim card. Everything works.. as a regular old phone with root. (rooted with Kingoroot - basically I googled "root galaxy s3" and followed those steps.. that much works fine, though it is not to be confused with the chinese king root. I tried the trick of swapping out king root for SU and, well.. yeah didnt work.)
Problem is I'm running 4.4.2 (the dreaded locked bootloader) and everything I try when it comes to installing custom recovery either doesn't work, bootloops the phone, or hard bricks it. v_v
so as someone who backs up their backups, (thank you OCD fairy), running around with a phone I can't backup puts me on edge, to say the least.
tried safestrap (says not secured. still says not secured after install. does nothing.)
tried various CWM and TWRP via apk installs (whatever that app is you install then tell it to install cwm) ..wouldn't install
Odin, depending on which version I install, either gives me errors or hardbricks my device.
SO.. I'm looking for someone who has a Verizon Galaxy S III and who has a custom recovery on it to tell me how the devil they managed that one.

Cheers all!!

Now that I'm rooted, what are my tethering options?

Hi guys,

I'm rooted and would like to enable tethering. I know about enabling Hotspot if you have your MSL. Are there any other ways as I don't have my MSL?

Now that I'm rooted are there any apps that can give me MSL number? The app I've used only seems to work for HTC devices.

Rooted Nexus 6 and updating to android 6.0

And to be honest, i don't really know if its taking the updated or how i can upgrade if possible.

can someone help me please?!!!!

Rooted OC3 update to OG9 & Samsung Pay

I am rooted on OC3 with KNOX intact. Is there currently a way to upgrade to OG9 while keeping root and not tripping KNOX?

My main motivation is in using Samsung Pay.

With Android pay, I can uninstall superuser (unroot) and Android pay works. then if i need to do something that requires root access, i can re-install SU and do what i need. will something similar work with Samsung Pay?

will i simply be able to sideload the Samsung pay APK and Framework APK? or will i have to upgrade to OG9? is there a way to upgrade to OG9 and keep root & KNOX?

what are those of you in my same situation planning on doing?

thanks!

Overclock stock (Rooted) 851 (Can't find kernel)

Hey I feel like a noob for asking but after genuinely searching the site for a few hours I have been unable to find any kernel compatible with my stock rom version 5.0.1 and phone t-mobile us 851. Is there one available and if not is there any way I can overclock my phone without installing a custom rom and a kernel over it. I really appreciate any answers. Thank you. Also just wanted to mention that before asking I actually tried installing incompatible kernels pretty much knowing that they wouldn't work (thank goodness I backed up lol).

Rooted Kindle Fire Gen 2

So I'm running a kindle fire gen 2 that's rooted and i went to flash TWRP which happened "successfully" according to flashify but i went to reboot my kindle and it boots normally for about half a second then sits at a red screen that i cant do anything with. would really appreciate feedback ASAP. I was aware of the dangers of flashing but it still boots so i believe there might still be a hope. (Wont register on my PC when plugged in either)

adb cmd not working, is my phone rooted? I don't get it.

I want to deodex my phone. It isn't happening and people have said the reason is the phone isn't properly rooted. What gives?

Flashed stock ROM with Odin

Model: S4 Mini i95195
Android Version: 4.2.2.
Baseband: i9195UBUBNE2

Guides I followed:
How to root Samsung Galaxy S4 mini
How to install CWM
How to deodex a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini

I have a RootChecker app that certified that before I installed the RootKit2 package listed on XDA, the phone was not rooted. It indicates it's rooted now.

That last one (deodexing) is where the problem arises. Setting my Windows Path: ;C:\android.sdk\platform-tools, I get the following output in the cmd when I try to initiate the adb functions:

C:\android.sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
shell@android:/ $ su
1|shell@android:/ $ stop
shell@android:/ $ mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
mount: Permission denied
255|shell@android:/ $

From what I have been told, if the phone was really rooted it would list "#" instead of "$", which it doesn't. So I don't understand what the problem is.

How to update rooted Note 4?

Hi guys, hopefully I'm not the only one with this problem. Is there anyway to update my Note 4 to 5.1.1? OTA doesn't work.

my rooted note 3 suddenly turns off when CPU loading for a while

sup guys, I rooted my Galaxy note 3 before 8 months and it's totally good but before a month it began to show some issues, for example when I starting a game that is loading CPU and my battery less than 70% the device suddenly turns off! would you please explain whats wrong with that.:)

How to update a rooted ATT H810?

hi guys, I'm currently on 10G rooted, I have read through the website and understood that I need to first unfreeze apps, then unroot in order to get the ota. But the problem right now is that I have actually deleted a lot of apps, like att drivemod, YP etc. I have system update center under freeze, so I can get that one back. For the ones that I deleted, does them matters? If I just unfreeze system update center, would I be able to get the ota after unroot? If not, does it mean I'm stuck with 10G forever?

LG G3 D855 only rooted, I want to unroot update and root again

I've rooted some months ago my D855, I rooted it only because I want to write on the SD and use some software that requires root. Since 1 month my G3 says to me that there is a google patch that increase the usability. I'd like to update, but when I try to do this it says to me that rooted devices cannot be updated.
Then I'd like to unroot my device, update, and then root it again, but I'd like to do this without miss my data. How can I do? Some hint?

Favourite App for Rooted H60-04?(please move to Q&A)

HTC desire 510
android version 4.4.3
Can someone help me please?

Accidently J tagged/bricked my rooted s4 sch-I545. Need a script please.

So I tried playing around with permissions and accidently removed execute permission in the data folder.. The phone is an unlocked verizon and locks up when turned on and stays stuck on the red verizon logo screen. Now I get this error when I tried using android recovery:

E: failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
can't mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
Odin failed me and so has trying to "apply update from internal storage"

No my dumb but did not put recovery software on my phone.. Ummm Duuuuuh. Well, I am guessing that I need a script to apply from ADB that will fix the permission in the data file to be able to execute. Hoping one of you genius' has the answer. Have never used ADB before but I think it is the only way to fix my phone. Thank you in advance.

[ROM][ZIP] SM-G900P OG1 Stock Rooted Deodexed ROM

Hey everyone!
Here is the promised almost 100% stock deodexed ROM. This build differs from the odexed build in that it is now deodexed, comes pre-rooted and deKnoxed.

This is a stand-alone ROM that can also be used as a base by anyone that would like to use it for their own ROM.

REQUIREMENTS:

You MUST be on a Lollipop bootloader in order for this ROM to work. I recommend flashing the OG1 Stock TAR and then Philz Recovery through Odin prior to flashing the ROM.

ROM FLASHING:

- Boot to your custom recovery (recommended recovery is Philz Touch v6.41.6).
- Wipe Cache.
- Wipe Dalvik Cache.
- Wipe System and Data (Under "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and then "Clean to Install a New ROM" in Philz Touch).
- Flash ROM!
- Enjoy!

As a side-note I would strongly recommend flashing Tdunham's Debloat tool before running the ROM for the first time. It comes with a TON of bloat (thank you Sprint and Samsung!). You can get the Debloat tool in the attachments on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spri...dexed-t3128908

CHANGELOG:

OG1 Stock Rooted Deodexed v1.0 - Initial Release (Released 10/15/15)
- Deodexed ROM
- Added Root
- Removed Knox

DOWNLOADS:

Deodexed OG1 ROM
OG1 Stock Restore TAR
Philz Touch Recovery v6.41.6

Enjoy!

Is it impossible to flash an AOSP rom on a rooted AT&T S5 Active?

Hello!

I've done some reading and having not gotten a satisfactory answer I thought I'd throw my question out to the community.

I'm currently running Twisted Lollipop v7.

I can Odin back to stock 4.4.2 whenever and redo towelroot and install safestrap etc.

I've been unsuccessful at flashing an AOSP rom and wanted to confirm once and for all if it is truly impossible to flash Blisspop or Cyanogenmod or Sonic or any of those I enjoyed on my trusty old S3 onto my unlocked At&T S5 Active.

If it is not possible I will get rid of this unlocked AT&T S5 active and get a used what? The T-mobile variant? The international variant? I just want to be able to flash whatever the hell I want without too much hassle! I do like the phone other than that though!

Looking forward to any advice!

Thanks!
