Software Update file

Hey
Where is the software update actually stored on the device? (The 8/4/2011 for the LG Revolution).
Once updated, can yo install CWM? Can it be rooted?

Just hang out, it will not install through cwm. Thecubed is going to be working on it.

I actually wanted to tinker with the Software Update file and see whats inside. I wanted to know where Android downloads it to on the filesystem.
I'm sure TheCubed will figure it out with CWM

Go into settings-about phone-update status and download the update. Do not install and check in that folder.

Yes. I assume you don't have cwm if you updated?

What are you trying to find? You can adb pull whatever file you are wanting to check, then check it against the old file to see what has changed.

It possibly could install by changing it to a zip file but who knows what it would mess up. With recovery items in there it may mess up cwm, that is a little above me without doing more research into it.

He's right. Installing the update without removing some stuff from it first (like it's new boot.img and the "installrecovery.sh" script) would possibly softbrick your device.
Decrap2 will take a while to do since it's gonna take a lot of work to apply this update to my ROM (gotta flash back to stock and apply the OTA, then deodex and then remove bing all over again...)

i didn't have it installed on my phone when I updated the phone

I'm confused- do you have CWM installed? If so, there's no way you could have applied the update yet...

I have two revolution devices.
One was stock (as if I bought it from a VZW store), the other one was with CWM.
The CWM with Decrap on it. (giving lots of issues with the launcher such as missing icons, etc)
Stock is on the latest LG update.
CWM is on the OEM release

As far as I know srsroot does not work.

Its funny they specifically put the model number and said it was supported. I would bet money that it does not work at all and they are just a shady group that should not be trusted.

I would wait for a video link to see if it works before anyone tries

I don't see the model number listed there. I wonder if someone just got overzealous with adding S5 variant model numbers and corrected it.
*edit* I see it now, I had to do a search. Hmmm... I don't know how this snuck under the radar if legit.

Loki is an instance of being able to use a custom recovery w/o unlocked BL. Coming from an i337, you begin to assume boot loader unlock isn't likely.

did SRSRoot install the SuperSU if so check your settings "Application Manager" in settings, if SuperSU is installed as a user app it will be listed in the "Downloaded" section if it is installed as a system app it will be in the"All" section.
or run a file explorer like esfile explorer that will allow you to view the /system/app folder (you cant write to it but you can still read from it) check and see if Supuser.apk exists in /system/app, if it does that means that at some point the srsroot app is gaining R/W access to system.

loki actually bypassed BL (to my knowledge) at any rate that was patched so isnt an option for our device

Yes it will work for t mobile. Just make sure you download the appropriate files for your model. You said you get stuck at 4? If you mean step for that's just copying all the files out of that particular folder listed

I'm still stuck im really not sure why i cant get this correct. I'm not sure but if anyone is willing to assist with this i would be willing to compensate that person please DM me if you can help thanks.

I know this thread is a little old, but i had the same problem after rooting my T-Mobile Flex. I'm telling you, the guide to restore stock firmware DOES 100% work. The problem is that it's not clear on what state your phone must be in. I had to manually enter Download Mode in order to get the thing working. I have been reading that some people were able to fully restore their phone by using the LG Suite program, which can be found on LG's official support page. Make sure your computer actually "registers" your phone being connected to it by installing the appropriate drivers.

SPH-L720T Stock Roots Roms

I no longer have this device on Sprint service it is now just for WiFi media.
I will leave this here just for downloads.
Short and simple this is the place to find the stock rooted roms for the Spark Sprint S4 SPH-L720T
Not much more to say these are STOCK ROOTED BUILDS
DOWNLOADS
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=20593
The roms must be be flashed in custom recovey.
How to flash rom
1: Reboot phone to recovery
2: Make a back up of current rom
3: Wipe clean
4:Flash rom
5:Reboot and wait about 4-5 for boot to finish
How to flash modem
Use Odin v3.09
1: Untick Autoreboot
2: Flash modem in the phone slot (CP)
3: Reboot once again into Download Mode using (Vol Down plus Home button combi)
4: Flash Modem once more
5: Once done,unplug then reboot device manually.
If this doesn't work, try repeating the flash process again while rebooting manually and with auto-reboot option turned off.
If you have a issue with wifi connetion make sure you are on the correct baseband.
modems will be in the extra folder named with the firmware build along with stock boot.img, recovery and the NON_HLOS.bin(wifi fix)

Thank you so much for this thread brother.. Much appreciated !

Thanks for posting, good thread to follow. I always like to have a stock ROM on my SD.

I tried installing this ROM om L720T twice with two different recoveries and it would not boot either time? Downloaded from both the primary and alternate sites with the same result. Any thoughts on why the device won't hand off to the operating system on boot?

Working fine here. Thank you for your hard work on these.

Dump S6 AT&T stock ROM

Ok, guys as we know, there is a root ready for the Samsung S6, the only thing we need now in order to root the AT&T S6 is that someone dump the /boot partition or full ROM either from the phone or from Samsung Smart Switch.
So please post your ideas here or if someone has a friend working on at&t ask them for the ROM .
I already tried social engineering, smart switch and dump but here are my results:
Dump: I already dumped /system and build.prop but the only way to dump /boot is having root or having a new exploit to dump it.
Smart Swtich: As you know Kies was deprecated and now Smart Switch is the new tool to backup and reflash software on the S6. You can find the option in the right upper corner - more - Emergency recovery and Software Initialization. After trying to use the Update and Software Initialization option I got the message: SM-G920A does not support initialization. I put my phone in Odin mode (Download mode) and tried again but this time it asked me my model (SM-G920A) and serial number, after filling it the Smart Switch aplication suddenly closed.
Social engineering: Samsung told me that the only way to reflash my phone was physically sending my phone to tech repair and that smart switch could not be used to reinstall the software in my phone... He is wrong, so I submitted a new email with a screenshot of the option in Smart Switch.
So guys please your help trying to get this ROM or boot.img
You can download the Smart Switch application here:

Or you could probably grab the image files off one of the computers at a Samsung Experience Shop? The computers have software used to troubleshooting and re-flashing devices.
