[Q] Easier way to root and install CWM for LG black

Hi guys
I recently brought a 2nd hand LG black.
This rom is totally stock, to be precise, it is a Hong Kong version v20
Since I want to improve the battery life and have a more defined rom.
I would like to root and install CWM for my LG black.
Up to now, I have downloaded a few kdz from the subforum.
I have little experience before with LG phone, Last one i played around was LG P500. I remember last time i could easily root the phone by super1click, and then install rom manager from play store.
And from there (play store) i install CWM recovery.
I would like to find the confirmation from you guys that
Can i go for the same path again, super1click>rom manager>CWM recovery??
Thx in advance!!

Read my how to and find all you neeed

thx
I realised the way you suggest to install CWM as exactly as mine.
But you only suggest to use SOC to root for 2.2 devices
Is there any reasons I should not root a 2.3 by SOC?
Actually SOC is always the most comfortable way to root for me
Hope you can share some

You can try it All you ll see is, that it doesnt work. If you look for root v20x or read my thread as a whole you ll find all answers you need. If you download the same version you have, extract bin and fls files flash and simply dont wipe data, just cache and dalwik have fun man

Read post 3 about how to do it yourself and follow the youtube video guide mentioned there. It's really easy and safe.

To me:
Easiest
- Smartflashtool flash v10a
- Use mass storage for phone
- Download Gingerbreak.apk
- Transfer to phone mass storage
- Install app
- Root
- Open Play Store
- Download ROM Manager
-Flash CWM
Voila
Easiest but slowest

Hmm, complicated. Why not:
- Smartflashtool flash v20n that has CWM inside. This is the procedure.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23788913&postcount=170.You only need the V20n,0,s (any of them) in fls/bin format.
- Flash Superuser.zip in CWM
- Done.

thx everyone
finally i got it!!
now using zeus v7, very cool rom!
But one last question, can i use the same smartflash with patched .bin method to revery to stock if i mess up something.
for example i am on cm9 and i wanna go back to GB, or i have to repartition my phone just like other brands like samsung.

Yes, you can. It is also useful for warranty (as root is voiding your warranty).

Download your stock firmware from www.sammobile.com/firmware or http://samsung-updates.com/tag/firmware/ and attach me kernel.bin.md5 from that file. I will repack it for step 10. You can post that on that thread for rooting, maybe someone else needs it. And it will be easier to find there, then here on this one.

Under PIT file browse for GT-I9070_EUR_XX_8G_20111220_KL6.pit, you have extracted this file before.
Under PDA choos rootkernel.tar.md5
Then check what options are checked (Selected), be sure to UNCHECK (remove selction) Re-Partition, Flash Lock, Phone EFS Clear, Phone Bootloader Update! Only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time should be checked (Selected)
When this is set just press Start and wait for phone to reboot

I think you even do not need to use pit file. Yes, that is it. And install Superuser, no SuperSU. I think we had problems with SuperSU, and Superuser worked fine.

Need to uninstall first SuperSU.

Huh, thinking I use an wrong application , but from what I read, chainfire (SuperSU) update released more than chainsDD tuned, and that's why I asked more details about that.

Hello,
so I used Chainfire's original CF-Auto-Root for SM-G900H and the Stock recovery files from SM-G800F (G800FXXU1ANG7_DBT Firmware from Sammobile.com). I was able to have root on the Stock firmware using the attached file via Odin.
BUT: IT WILL MAKE KNOX WARRANTY VOID 1.
If anyone else is interested to try:
Download Mode: (VolDn+Home+Power, VolUp)
Odin PDA (AP): cf-auto-root-sm_g800f-kminilte-xxu1ang7.tar.md5
Auto Reboot
Enjoy rooted device.
It might be a good idea to reflash the original stock recovery afterwards as currently no custom recoveries are available. g800forigrecovery.tar.md5

Hi,
No there is no howto beyond the standard how to make a custom rom and kernel using android kitchen. I simply analysed the recovery image in CF-Auto-Root and took the hardware relevant files and replaced them with those from the stock recovery of SM-G800F, and set the filesystems and sizes appropriately. Most of the magic happens in executable binaries made by Chainfire that are run automatically when recovery mode is started. I do not have their source code.

Hi,
The rooting file above should work even on G800FXXU1ANGE. First flash the new firmware normally via Odin. Then after reboot flash the CF-auto-root from above. Only in the last step to get the original recovery back you need to get that file out of the new firmware package.
I can tell you how to make a odin flashable file with just the original recovery under linux. Copy the original tar.md5 file to /tmp and do the following commands
Code:
tar -xf your_original_firmware.tar.md5
tar -c -H ustar recovery.img > G800ForiginalrecoveryXXU1ANGE.tar
md5sum -t G800ForiginalrecoveryXXU1ANGE.tar >> G800ForiginalrecoveryXXU1ANGE.tar
mv G800ForiginalrecoveryXXU1ANGE.tar G800ForiginalrecoveryXXU1ANGE.tar.md5
I hope this helps.
Cheers.

Hi,
The last step does not remove root. It reinstates the original recovery partition, so in download mode it goes back to everything official instead of custom. One might need the recovery if something goes wrong and one wants to do a data wipe or cache wipe.

Sorry for trouble... Its my mistake in renaming the file

Dr.Ketan Method
- Download SuperSu 2.46 from chainfire and copy to SD
- Switch Off device and reboot to download (Vol down + Home + Power) to get into download mode)
- Get custom recovery (I have used Chenglu's CWM 6.0.5.1)
- Uncheck Auto reboot in Odin and flash custom recovery
- Once flashing pass, reboot device to recovery manually (Vol up + home +power)
- Flash SuperSu zip you copied in step 1
CMW recovery link: http://d-h.st/9ahQ

Dr.Ketan Method also Works... But you will Lose Stock Recovery//

Will this trip the warranty flag?

What features are people using that require root? I just got lollipop on my 910g and wondering if I should root

is there a link that i can use to download without the crap. @sriszone

i have tried downloading N910g-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.1 a number of times from different sites and its always corrupt

Try flashing latest TWRP it will then root Rom once you go into recovery and reboot it will ask if you want to root

Y u guys using custom recovery.... Check the thread guys for cf auto root

Why have you made this thread when there is a CF-Autoroot thread already open by the developer himself?
And why do you say no mirrors as if this is anything original to you?

Need some advice

Okay guys I think I've exhausted all of my options here's the short version of what's going on. I started the OTA update on my s5 and it got interrupted ( I don't really know how ) and it won't go past the Samsung boot screen (and it now says custom with an unlocked pad). After doing extensive research and downloads I can get the phone into Odin mode and into recovery mode. I tried flashing the stock rom, down grade roms and kernels of all variants through Odin and through recovery with no luck . Odin fails at secure system check and stock recovery says failed to find /system build.prop (no such file or directory). Viewing the recovery log It says my os is (oc4) and my bootloader is (oi5) no help from Samsung or AT&T. In Odin I am able to flash the oc4 kernel, modem and stock partitions. It says current binary SAMSUNG official system status custom Knox warranty void 0x0
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Modem, kernel, recovery, stock partition. Basically I am trying to flash the rom in md5 section. Unless you want to convert the whole rom to md5 flashable for me.
Thank you for all of your help.

I am downloading them now. Thank you so much for all of your help. I will let you know what happens!! You have been a huge help.

OK I flashed all of those files with no errors. All 4 took perfect. Still stuck though. Could you upload the system file? An .md5 system file. I think it's system.ext4 when I watch odin flash. Thank you again for all your help.

here you go
step 1 : Download all 14 parts according to order and put them into a new folder
step 2 : download winrar and install it if you already have skip it
step 3 : open part 1 in winrar and extract it , it will auto detect all 14 parts
finally you will have the file , it took me so many hours to upload the full file .
Cheers

It didn't work. Do you have any other suggestions or do you knew how to or can upload the kernel md5, modem md5, recovery md5, or can you do the full rom? Sorry to be such a pain but I just don't know what else to do. Ya know getting any help around is like pulling teeth.

hey syedrazaabbas im having the exact same problem. i flashed the files you kindly provided and same problem wont flash the system file. Im pretty compident with programs and phones so if there is a program i can use i will make a .tar.md5 oidin file myself if it is posible to do. thanks again, sorry i also searched and searched. it seems as if the att S5 section of XDA is a ghost town, i know it can be over whelming at times (i know im a mechanic and deal with my fair share) but i dont beleve in not helping if i have the means to do so.
