N910F 5.1 Rooting and back to unroot : )

N910F
Just want to give my experience rooting 5.1
my firmware N910FXXU1COI3

1 - I wanted to get root to remove all bloatware
2 - after all bloatware removed unroot and use original kernel and recovery

So what I have done:
1 - flashed this kernel: N910F-Stock_Kernel_XXU1COI3_Root_Enforced-PhilZ.tar via odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...-root-t3208778
2 - flashed twrp-2.8.7.0-trltetmo.img.tar via odin https://dl.twrp.me/trltetmo/
3 - downloaded chainfire BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip and saved to external SD card
4 - used twrp recovery and installed BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps...v2-05-t2868133
5 - from play download titanium backup + root and removed all bloatware and other Samsung apk
6 - Open superuser and find full unroot then restart phone
7 - than restart again into twrp recovery and wipe cache partition + dalvik cache
8 - Than from original firmware my was 910FXXU1COI3 change end to zip and extracted recovery.img and boot.img
9 - Than the was problem as I cannt use them in odin I need to sign to md5 so - google search and I have found
MD5 Script in the xda forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2446269
10 - coped these 2 img to the same directory as MD5 Script and run ImgToTar.MD5.bat and I have 2 MD5 files boot.tar.md5 recovery.tar.md5
11 - then used odin I flashed firstrecovery.tar.md5 and later boot.tar.md5

Now phone runs original recovery and original kernel

why I unroot - maybe for security reason , I do think having root access and loading websites where tons of malware or opening files form somewhere is not really safe as superuser have root some clever master can go around this and can have root as well : ) But when on the phone none root who do get root ? phone itself will flash custom kernel maybe ? how this impossible I do not know

Whats the goal of removing/uninstalling bloatware if it can be disabled - yes 60 % samsung bloatware can be disabled but not all like samsung sync samsung tracking , like knox , and etc ,
I do not need to have on my phone any google remote , do not want to have any drop box sync or samsung sync etc ...
I m not using samsung email apk but it is running in background , Flipboard why the heck this is default ????? and getting notifications about news and can not disable This is why we need root

after all this work - does the phone works better ?
Yes feels more smooth as not run other apk in the background + it is programs what I need not what samsung or google want me to have for they money advertising or service

[q]LG H636 Stylo - Rooting after KDZ flash?

Hey all Stylo users,

I think my bootloader is locked or something because I can't root after flashing a KDZ for Fido on my phone. I flashed the KDZ, then in an attempt to regain root, restored from the LG PC Bridge program. But still can't root with LG One Click Root or Kingroot. Kingroot worked 100% before flashing the KDZ. Im just not clear on why after flashing it, root isn't possible. The KDZ thread states that there was no root method available for 5.1.1. or something. My current version is 5.0.2, and I have no OTA's pending. I guess Fido hasn't upgraded this phone to 5.1.1. yet. Can someone fill me in if they have any info? Thank you !

Minor issue after rooting Samsung Galaxy s5 ( sprint )

Ok so i rooted my s5 using odin 3.07, CF-Auto-Root-kltespr-kltespr-smg900p.tar.md5 and SM-G900p.knox_removal.android.5.0.zip
Its probably worth noting my phone is on lolipop from samsung.
After i used those via odin the phone rebooted as expected. However the first time it booted it would not work. It would get to the home screen after start up and system process would fail.
I rebooted into recovery and used the fix permissions and fix selinux option.
Now my phone works fine with 1 exception, i get an error that says google play services encountered an unknown error. Any idea what is causing this?

I also have installed twrp 2.8.7 ( i think that was the latest available ) this was done using the twrp app which initially said it failed but when i rebooted into recovery it was there.

Any help would be appreciated. Also is it normal for the rom to refuse to check for upgrades once rooted?

[Guide] Rooting the G800H on lollipop 5.1.1

Since the stock 5.1.1 was released
no one here on XDA made a root for it
but Blue cat 4pda member did : D
so im just sharing his work nothing else


Link to his threadhttp://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showt...#entry43655190



if you cant register in the Russian forum then here's the files on dropbox thanx to falcaobr



https://www.dropbox.com/s/wjpsa77tce...Files.zip?dl=0




Installation sequence:

1) Enter the download mode and install firmware 5.1.1 through Odin. To reboot and enter the Lollipop everything is working;
2) Again in download mode, install the modified kernel (Kernel.tar) via Odin (use AP or PDA, depending on the version of Odin) and reboot;
3) Again in download mode, install TWRP via Odin and reboot;
4) Save "BETA-SuperSU-v2.50.zip" to SDCARD (internal or external);
5) Reboot into Recovery mode (TWRP) and install "BETA-SuperSU-v2.50.zip";
6) Restart and will be with root.

Note: Those who do not allow write to the SDCARD with Lollipop 5.1.1, install the program " FolderMount" after root and run the first time he will ask to start and fix this problem



Also if you lost your SIM and WiFi after updating to 5.1.1 try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...pdate-t3224352






Big thanx to Blue cat and @falcaobr i just shared thir effort


And sorry for my bad English

Happy rooting : )

HELP! Droid X2 rooting problems

I am on a Mac and have searched left and right for the Droid3_Easy_Root_v7d file but everyone that references it is pointing to the SAME Mediafire link that is down. Does anyone have the Mac Version of this program? i've tried using a spare Windows PC to root but its not working. I had my Droid X2 on CM10 before but had put it in a drawer. When I decided to use it again, I figured it would have just been easier to do a complete system wipe and start over because all the apps were out of date, etc....but somehow, I ended up screwing CM10 up and had to SBF back to stock ROM. I went to 2.2 and used GingerBreak...but the only ROM I could manage to get installed was MIUI which was VERY glitchy (the first 3 times I installed it, it was typing on its own making it useless....once I got that fixed, I couldn't get Wifi to work.....I have the SBF files for 2.2, 2.3, 2.3.4 and 2.3.5....so whichever version will get back back to CM10 using a Mac would be great...not sure if there has been any developments on this phone as far as rooting it with apps like KingRoot, Poot, Towelroot, etc has been made, but hopefully someone can help me!

[Q] - Unlocking the bootloader, TWRP, rooting and (OTA) updates

Hi folks,
I recently got a Moto G 2nd gen. LTE that came shipped with 5.0.2 installed (the exact model is XT1072).
Now my plan is to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP and root the phone using this tool. As far as I can see this should work fine as the device is supported and there's a TWRP version available.
My question now is: As Marshmallow is officially confirmed and I already found out that flashing a custom recovery will "break" OTA, how could I get the update once it will be released, hence will I be able to obtain further updates once I run a custom recovery and "am" rooted - as far as I know the unlocked bootloader does not affect the OTA/update functionality.

THX in advance :fingers-crossed:

Very basic questions about rooting Kindle Fire

I'd like to root my Kindle Fire (2nd gen, I think - system version is 6.3.4_user4120720). I can't post a link to the method I'm planning to use, but a google search for "techhive how to root your kindle fire pcworld" will take you right to it.

My questions: Which version of the Android OS will I end up with when this process is done? Once the Kindle is rooted, is it then possible to install later (or the latest) versions of the OS, or does the device itself limit what can be installed?

The reason I want to root is that as certain web sites have become more complicated, the Silk browser has become pretty much useless. It's almost impossible to read the news any more. Pages bounce all over the place, or the browser crashes as pages load their nonsensical graphics and animations. I'm hoping that rooting will open up options for installing a better browser. In addition, my Kindle is no longer able to run the current version of Dropbox, which is important to me. And finally, it'll be refreshing to get rid of the stupid carousel!

rooting help

So I was recently able to root my s6, however now I cannot return it to complete stock.
Whenever I try to unroot my phone via Odin and g920p oh1 firmware, it gives a nandwrite error.
When I try to do it via kies/SS I get to the point where I need to input a serial number, just to have it tell me I'm wrong.
Also I used romified and it would stay at the Dodge logo. Edgar's roms work though. However, if I Odin any other twrp besides the actual 2.8.7 sprint version, I get errors all around. And while I'm using 2.8.7 sprint twrp, it flips the horizontal touch. So I need a qwerty pad an "A" press would input a "P".
Prior to rooting I was on the newest firmware, oi1.
Is there anyway I'd be able to install firmware via an app? Or help I can get? Any insight would be helpful. Or would I just have to wait for a tar of oi1?

Rooting and recovery questions.

hey everyone! Glad to be back in XDA developer forums.
I've come here several times, finding fixes, roots, modifications, and themes, on my older phones. First and LG is theme, and then a galaxy S3, both of which I learned how to install recovery, superuser, root and kernel, from people like PlayfulGod.

This time around, I feel like I'm a Little More up with the curve, in that my new Moto X pure 2015 is slated to arrive any day now.

my questions are as follows:
I am wondering if there a legitimate reason, to install recovery, and to root this phone.

I was told by many people that is what they are calling a "pure android experience" meaning there's not a lot of bloatware to get rid of if any, but before I listen to a lot more of this, I thought I would check in with you guys first. Generally speaking, I like custom boot animations, overclocking when possible with kernels and CPU controllers, and the ability to dump anything I don't like, so long as it will not make the phone stopped working. What I'm wondering is:

Will there be a list of apps that I can get rid of?
Will I need to route the phone, to install a custom boot animation, and are there any existing that I can use the phone
What would the advantages of rooting this phone be?

Thank you, and thanks for such a great group of developers. You guys saved my asked several times with old phones, maybe now with the new Moto X pure I will build to keep up a little better. LOL. Thanks again
:laugh:

Rooting and removing junk

I just started getting into rooting and such. I'm experimenting with kingroot at the moment and it seems to be working but I still can't seem to uninstall things.
I have a Samsung illusion and a moto G .I'd like to do custom roms but really all I want is to free up space. Please help

Problem while rooting my oneplus one

I am trying to root my oneplus one. The first step I'm doing is unlocking the bootloader using the bacon root tool kit. During the intital setup > full drive installation guide > step 3 > configure ADB > In the images ( 7 steps showing how to configure ) > step 4 ( Android Device ). Now here is the problem, I accidently unistalled the Android Device driver. How to do I install it again? I've tried searching the forum but couldn't find anything relevant.

Please refer to the image below to get a better understanding.



As you can see from the above image Android Device driver is missing from my computer. How do I get it reinstalled again?

Help with rooting my galaxy s4-SGH-i337!

I'm running lolipop 5.0.1, and my phone is just full of bloat. I have countless AT&T apps, and, for some reason, uber, along with tons of other apps that I will never use and are just taking up space on my phone. I've looked online for so long trying to figure this out, and I just can't. I've tried framaroot, Kingoroot, and kingroot, and none of those have worked so far. any help would be greatly appreciated!

Rooting attempt on S6 G920F running on 5.0.2

And I think I flashed CF-Root correctly. Tried to boot, Recovery is not seandroid enforcing. I then flashed TWRP 2.8.7.1 (the .img one) and now it proceeds to recovery after boot screen.
I tried restarting to system with TWRP and it went into a bootloop.

Am I on the right track? I mean is it supposed to be like that until I do a factory reset? I'm scared cause the ROM is still downloading lol how do I put it in the device's internal memory? Will I be able to in Download Mode?

On a PC running Windows XP right now, Samsung's USB Drivers don't seem to work whatsoever. I'll try it on my laptop and we'll see.

(p.s. should I have opted for the one-click rooting and stuff? Idk the guide tells me to do it via Odin so yea lol)

[HOWTO][GUIDE] Rooting the One ME (m9ew / htc_hima_ace_ml_dtul)

Hello All,

First of All before beginning with anything,
I OR ANY ONE THAT I HAVE MENTIONED IN THIS TRHEAD ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DEVICE BRICKING DURING THIS GUIDE, YOU ARE DOING THIS ON YOU OWN WISH AND MUST HOLD THE WHOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR ACTIONS
I AM NOT A DEVLEOPER AND DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO BE A ONE ( although i would love to be one ;) )
AND HENCE I CANNOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS UNLESS I KNOW ITS ANSWERS

FOR THE TIME BEING THERE IS NO CERTAIN METHOD TO GET OTAs BACK
SO IF YOU CANNOT GO THE S-OFF WAY AND HAVE WARRANTY ISSUES, AFRAID OF BRICKING , ETC
THEN ROOTING CAN COST YOU TO LOOSE OTA FOR A GOOD TIME
My region ( 708 ) still donot have the stock recovery released and hence i couldn't test

Second , This guide is just a collection of others people work and assistance so the effort is not really mine
I would like to thanks @tbalden and @karlanal as without them i wouldn't be able to root my device

Let the Fun begins and let's know what you need first :

1- Working Adb and fastboot in your pc ( from this thread >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2588979 )
2- HTC drivers ( There is one in the sync manager drive in "My computer" when you insert the usb cable )
This one worked for me just fine but if it didn't, you should download the whole htc sync manager which contains all the needed drivers ( as said by other users through searching in the web generally )
3- CMD >> Working command prompt in your windows
4- SuperSu Zip file which will be flashed through TWRP >>>> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5D...ew?usp=sharing
5- TWRP for Our One ME >>>> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5D...ew?usp=sharing
6- Ofcourse a working Usb cable :D

STEPS to ROOT starting from Locked Bootloader device :
SAME as the following thread exactly except replacing the TWRP with our own which is already above at the 5th point
MUST READ ALL THE HINTS AND TIPS IN THE INTIAL TOPIC OF THE THREAD AS WE ARE AFFECTED SAME AS THEY ARE

STEPS to get back to Stock so we can get OTA :
First method : Same as the One for M9+ >>> ALTHOUGH SEEMS NOT TO WORK BECAUSE WHEN WE INTITALLY FLASH TWRP IT MOUNTS THE SYSTEM AS RW WHICH BREAKS A CERTAIN CODE ( SHA1 )THAT OTA CHECKS FOR IT BEOFRE FLASHING THE OTA
1- Flash Stock recovery of your region AND your current firmware >>> From this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-...t3211628/page1 )
2- Restore UNTOUCHED system Partition ( That you intially take a Backup for it just after flashing TWRP )

Second method : which will include S-OFF and flashing a whole diffrent Firwmare
( This was mention by Karlanal and i didn't test it yet )
1- S-OFF via sunshine app ( have to pay ant not free )
2-Make supercid via fastboot command
3-After that you can install one of those two firmwares in the RUU thread that we currently have (either asia india or china)
For the Post of this procedure from Karlanal ( I believe he wouldn't mind that i am sharing this )
I REPEAT, HE DOESNOT HOLD ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY FLASHING ISSUES
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...6&postcount=32

Hope you all have the best rooted device and happy flashing :D:D
