Very Nice. Are you using the same TWRP that is in the Original Development forum? Just curious to see if there are any changes such as time fix.
Awesome sauce! First thing I'll do when I get my G4 tomorrow.

so, i'm a little confused.....do you have to use low effort root first or do you just put your phone in download mode then run this script.?then by installing super su you will gain root?sorry i am so computer illerate.i have followed the low effort root page since day 1, have rooted other phones but like i said ...just not up to speed transferring files,running commands etc. so i have held off trying to root myself even though i am pretty sure i understand the directions.just wondering if this way might be easier,thx in advance for any help in clarifying this for me.

No, you don't need low effort root. This is essentially the Nexus way. Just follow instructions and it will flash TWRp. Once you successfully reboot into TWRP. Download SuperSU.zip and flash it and you have root, it's very easy.

If you want TWRP to flash rom's then you want this!
But you can also use this to get root, by flashing the SuperSu.zip from TWRP. This is way easier than having to download a 5gb system.img, and manually running all the commands for root in the other root thread.

Hi guys!
I received my Nexus yesterday en immediately rooted and unlocked the device. No problems so far.
I want to install a the cyanogen custom rom on my nexus but get stuck in the recovery step.
I have used the tutorial from Theunlockr . com (unfortunately I cant insert a link here because Im a new member)
Because I already rooted and unlocked my Nexus I started with ''III. Flash the Custom ROM''. I managed to start up the bootloader and click on 'Recovery'. Here the problems start, after clicking on 'recovery' a screen with a yellow exclamation shows up. (see attachment for screenshot)
Can somebody help me with flashing my Nexus with a custom rom? Thanks in advance!
Try to run "fastboot boot recovery.img" and see if that works. (Something like that anyway)
This was what I did for all my time using Amon's 1.5.3 recovery. Now that I'm on 1.6.0, I can use the normal recovery. That worked perfectly for me anyway. I also would always boot to that screen when attempting the normal recovery via the phone.
Do you have small tutorial or how-to how I can run 'flashboot boot recovery.img'' on my Mac?
I am quite an android-noob.

So am I
To run fastboot, you should simply go find the Android SDK download. Once you've downloaded that, make your way to the tools folder. Place the recovery image in that folder and then Shift+Right Click in the window. You click the option to bring up a command prompt.
In that Command prompt, type flashboot devices and verify the PC sees your phone. If so, then you can do the Flashboot command. Though you may need USB drivers. If you do need them, they're somewhere in this forum, but I've completely lost track of them.
P.S. if my initial command doesn't work... You might need to try "fastboot boot recovery recovery.img"
(Note... Don't try "Flashboot".. That was a typo )

got this info from the same site you posted, you just skipped the step before you started to flash the rom altogether.
II. Flash a Custom Recovery Image
1. Download the Nexus One Amon Ra Recovery Image below:
Nexus One Recovery Image (Link under Download in the first Post)
2. Save the recovery image file inside the superboot folder you used to root the phone.
3. Turn the phone off and then plug it in via USB cable.
4. Turn it on by holding down Power and the Trackball to get into fastboot mode.
5. Open a command prompt and type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
cd\
cd c:\superboot
fastboot-windows devices
*this is to check that the computer can see the phone (a serial should pop up if it can)
6. Then type:
fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.5.3.img
7. This should flash the recovery image onto the phone.

The recovery img is in this thread

Also, you don't really need the android sdk for flashing the recovery img, but it's a good idea to download it for future use.

Like they said, sounds like you are missing recovery. Just do the step two, you skipped it. Why flame people? He is new, might as well help, instead of making this thread longer by telling him to post in right section.
Besides, he did find tutorials and followed them, he didn't come here completely unprepared and expecting people to walk him through. We all make mistakes sometimes, specially when dealing with something we are new to, he simply skipped a step.

If only Alpharev got S-OFF for >1.00...
Is the procedure for rooting H-BOOT 1.01 the same as 1.00 then? Is it the same as my guide? (www.chirag.co.uk)
so where's the part that u should install android 2.1 <1.31 RUU ?
you have prepared for downgrade and haven't done the actual downgrade part... are u sure that nothing's been left apart in your guide?
and that is why it is called made easy
no need to install 2.1 RUU
confirm this guide is working!!! so much easier to follow than the other thread!! thanks so much.
but i just dont understand do we need to use our goldcard somewhere in the rooting process ? i mean i did make goldcard but then i dont know if i have to leave it in the phone while doing rooting or not. anyway, now i have cyanogen 7.0.3...

Thanks i got it to work anyway, I didn't have Bootloader driver installed. However, this guide is pretty similar to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208377
With the screenshots help on that link, makes this guide even easier.
Thanks.
i was about to root a friends legend yesterday but also got stucked in step1-windows.bat, i succesfully downgraded to 1.31 and he has 2.1 instead of froyo now. But as i said, couldn´t get any further. Why is all the guides different, some guides you should open the RUU file in the computer, not in this guide. How do i know when to make that step or not
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
lost 2 full evenings with other guides and finally made it with this guide at the 1st try!!
Mistakes i did in the past (maybe that's why i didn't make it):
- SD Goldcard formatted FAT and not FAt32
- Working ADB.exe is in \platform-tools folder and no longer in \tools folder. So I extracted the 'hack for legend' in \platform-tool but in order to enable ADB.exe to load from any folder I added as Windows PATH folder also the \tool
also
- I run CMD with Admin rights in Windows7
- Had to run Visionary couple of times
- had to run point 12 couple of times

Installed rom manager
I installed rom manager to use to back up phone it rebooted to run the back up and it got stuck in fast boot, so i did some searching and found the page on fixing that. i used the second posters method instead of thecubed (because he said it was easier and thecubed agreed) and now all i get is an lg start screen. do not follow the other guys post it is for another phone completely i had to find it out the hard way. so any ideas on how i can get back to working phone?
The file you deleted was the mmcbik0p8 backup found on your ext card. When reinstalling the recovery CWM should have rewritten it with the correct version.
Try removing your card and mounting it on a pc go in and manually delete file and try to boot the phone. I had to do this to make my revolution boot.
This is how i fixed it
adrenaline_rush said:
Its not hard to fix at all, you will have to install the Java JDK, Android SDK, and three files AdbWinApi.dll, fastboot.exe, and CWMrecoveryrevolution.img which is the clockwork recovery for our phone.
Here are the files in .rar format.
http://www.mediafire.com/?eb3219cy0lbc71m
Android SDK
Java JDK
The first version should work
1. Install the Android SDK to your C: drive. Make sure the SDK and all the files are in C:\androidSDK. This will make things easier later.
2. Open the SDK and install the additional AndroidSDK platform tools package
3. Install the Java JDK
4. Unzip the .rar to c:/androidSDK/tools
5. Open command prompt, start> type "cmd"> press enter
6. Plug in phone
6. Assuming you placed everything in the right folders, type the following into the command prompt
Code:
cd c:/androidSDK/tools
7. You should now be in the correct folder, paste this command next:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
then:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery CWMrecoveryrevolution.img
If that succeeds then type the final command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Hopefully this works and is understandable

Don't work
Yeah this method don't work any more I tried yesterday and today with the revolution file. Fast boot does not find the phone. Cmd is <waiting for device>. Going to Verizon tomorrow to get new phone.
Edit: why it doesn't work is because I used the easy method that the other user posted, i did not check the phone version of the flash file, so now my phone has the wrong firmware on it and wont boot. Also it does not get recognized by my pc.

You tried the volume up + power to get to the recovery?
Tried that too.
The only way the Vol. up and power button works if I have the battery out and the usb hooked up, and then the screen says do not detach download in progress. I left it this way for about two hours thinking it would magically fix it self but it didn't. Called Verizon about an hour ago and I going to get my new phone in the afternoon tomorrow. they over-nighting it to me, they said any new tech with 4g they try to get it fixed as fast as possible. I then asked when 4g would be coming to my area he said spring of 2013... lol
Oh, you could have flashed the .tot system file over, but I guess it does take some time to get the program set up, and they're already replacing it..
Tried
I had all the above programs installed and working properly, that is how i got to a non-working phone, I flashed it with the wrong firmware which bricked it. Its not detected in any of the programs because all the programs are looking for a revo and i flashed to something else.
This was posted in the revo fastboot fix thread, I followed it and it bricked my phone.
hello everyone, im pretty sure i was the first one to run into this issue since it happened twice on two different phones. but for an extremely easy fix just look here, believe me it doesn't get any easier than this. this is another way it was explained, but both are pretty much the same. im only posting this in case someone doesn't understand the directions posted by thecubed, not saying the ones i post it are better, just explained differently, not trying to step on anyone's shoes here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1088046

Still no CWM
I rooted my Revo using adb and zergrush. I'm running v6 and cannot get CWM to work using adb, RevoToolKit or even on a command line on the phone itself. So far all I've done is reload my phone. It stays rooted, but no CWM. Md5's all check out on mmcblk0p14 before I restart, using adb and a terminal on the phone. The checksum is right when I dl the recovery-cwm-pr1.img in the zip, also.
I did do an OTA update after I rooted. Could that be the problem? Should I unroot and reroot?

First post so woot! but, kind of bad news at the same time. My friend and I were rooting/CWM'ing/ROM'ing his phone and we hit this road block. Everything went find up to the flashing of Gingervolt. It boots up and starts the initial setup sequence, but after the step where it ask for language, it sits and spins it's wheels for a while before saying that it cannot find the SIM card. There is also a small SIM card icon with a question mark next to the signal bar meter. This step is keeping us from being able to move forward and was wondering if there is any hope to get this thing to activate.
Things we've tried:
1) Reboot, restore, wiped all the caches
2) Did a nandroid restore of before we flashed it with Gingervolt
3) Downloaded a stock/rooted ROM (and received the same results)
4) Calling Verizon's activation hotline (told us nothing)
5) Taking out/Putting back the SIM card and seeing if that maybe would reset something. (I guess not)
It would be really cool if I could figure this out so he doesn't have to bring it in to big red :3
Thanks and you all rock!

Was 4g turned on when you flashed? If nothing else you can flash the zv7 tot file through lgnspt.
Thanks so much for your quick reply,
I think that is going to be my next option. Thanks for reassuring me that is the right direction! And yes, I did have 4g (It was called LTE, I think it's the same thing.) enabled before flash.

What version were you on before you flashed Gingervolt? If you were on v4 or v6 it will do that.

I rooted it with adb following root.bat. I run linux and am a terminal junkie. The rooting went fine. I then dl'ed recovery-cwm-pr1.img and adb'ed it over to the sdcard, ran all the checksums, from adb and on a root terminal on the phone. Then from adb, moved the image file to block mmcblk0p14, ran checksums again from both adb and the terminal on the phone. They both checked out fine, again.
After reboot, it just wiped, no CWM. It might be a permissions problem. I see no execute bit set. Should it be?
This is a response to post #14. I meant to post this with a quote. Instead, I posted a quick reply. Sorry.

Not a permission problem, there are a couple of files in there that have to be removed otherwise it blocks it from booting into cwm with the key press combo. You have to boot into cwm using quick boot or the reboot into recovery option in the revotoolkit menu. If you flash GingerVolt you will then have reboot and recovery in the power menu, but also will be able to enter recovery through the button combo.
You will have to push the recovery image again first though.
Hi guys, I'll just start things off with saying that I am far from being anywhere near as technologically advanced as the majority of you so I would like your help if possible.
I had wanted to flash back to Stock and unroot my Moto X but for some reason I had gone into TWRP and decided to delete everything. Now every time I try to reboot from TWRP, it'll just say that the phone does not have an OS Installed and therefore if I reboot it, it will just stay on the 'Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen.
I've read quite a few threads on various forums but I am unable to get my laptop to recognise the device in fastboot. That's my only problem so far as I've downloaded the Motorola Device Manager and all those other things but still cannot get my laptop to show the device for me to put the files into. When I plug it in, I am able to hear the sound and the device recognizes that it's been plugged in but I can't see it on my laptop.
Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys and forgive my ignorance.

You don't put files on the phone and you don't use twrp. Follow the instructions in the return to 100% stock thread.

I've tried following the steps but I was unsure of step 3 where it says to download and install the proper firmware for the device but still unsure on how to install it. RSD Lite won't pick up the device nor will it show up when I type 'adb devices' in CMD. And finally, how do I go about turning on USB debugging when it won't boot up past the bootloader unlock screen?
Appreciate the help

Turn the phone off. Unplug it. Hold down VOL DOWN, and press power. The phone will boot into the bootloader. This is how you flash with rsd lite.
Adb does not work in bootloader, and isn't used for this. Once in bootloader (ap fastboot mode), rsd lite should recognize the device.
Make absolutely sure you do not downgrade to a previous version (you will brick), and make sure you flash the correct firmware for YOUR device/carrier.
You can only flash the same version or higher than what you were on before you erased everything.

Thanks for the help! Unfortunately RSD Lite doesn't recognise the device in bootloader. Am I supposed to put the files into a certain place for things to start working properly and is it also because I'm using windows 8.1? I've already installed the Motorola Device Manager as well.
Really sorry for all the questions - complete newbie right here

You said you downloaded moto device manager... Did you install it? If so you are one of the unlucky ones and will have to use the manual method with fastboot and mfastboot. Take it slow and follow the instructions. Leave out the config carrier line.
To make sure fastboot is working, type fastboot devices while in bootloader mode.

Oh okay that makes sense. Yeah I had installed but still nothing. Okay, I'll try the manual method, thanks heaps!
I've typed it fastboot devices in CMD and it came up with T017500PDP fastboot. I assume that's good? Haha

Yes perfect.
Run one command at a time - copy/paste them.
Remember to use mfastboot for system.img - regular fastboot will NOT work. Also remember to skip the config carrier command.

You my friend are a legend. Last round (hopefully) of questions though: where the code says to type in fastboot flash .... .gpt.bin and all those other things, am I supposed to put the files somewhere in particular? Because just regularly typing them into CMD comes up with (bootloader) Variable not supported! Then error: cannot open 'gtp.bin' or cannot open 'recovery.img' and so on but on the phone it says getvar partition-type:recovery or boot and so on.
Also the when the instructions say to use mfastboot, CMD says that it is not recognized as an internal or external command. Thanks!

First: yes, you have to put those files in the same folder as you are running the commands from. If your command prompt shows C:\users\jimmy\
Then that is where the files should be! You should have extracted the zip file you downloaded to the same folder you are running the commands from.
Second, you obviously have not download mfastboot.exe (it is linked in the return to stock thread) OR you didn't put it in the same folder as the rest of the files.
The "variable not supported" messages are normal. The error cannot open.... errors are NOT.
I'm attaching mfastboot.exe (it's zipped - extract it to the same folder as everything else) to this post so you don't have to go looking for it.
DON'T move on if the first command doesn't work. Make sure each one gives success before you move on.
Awesome!

Thanks so much, it worked great! The colours are a bit out of wack though (the blues are now orange and so on) and the bot animation is messed but still better than nothing. Thanks so much for your help!

You're welcome....but that isn't normal. I suggest doing it again from the beginning. A full SBF to stock re-writes all the partitions and there shouldn't be anything "out of wack". Sounds like something went wrong....OR your device has physical damage?
Anyways, please consider hitting the "THANKS" button under any and all posts that help you. :good:

Hello everyone, i got rooted Rog Phone 2 and after rooting my rog phone 2 i dont have wifi signal anymore. i unroot my phone by flashing stock + tried flashing stock boot.img but wifi is still not working, what happened and how can i fix it?
@Barcovn Would you like to share how to deal with this?
https://m.facebook.com/groups/2059277157699287?view=permalink&id=2106812296279106
From my friend. He share the Tut for fixing it. Basically we upgraded new fw after open the phone so the boot.img extracted from the website will be difference with newest ota upgrade. Lost wifi. You have to manual flash the phone again

Right! As I haven't got the phone yet, didn't find out that new OTA have different boot.img. So as for now, rooting means just firmware on website is usable.
In the future if there is an update you will need to unroot, flash the original boot. Flash the rom update and then extract the new boot, patch it with magisk and flash the new patched boot to enjoy root again.
Personally I would rather stay on stock enjoy the timely OTA updates and keep my warranty.

Would appreciate your help.
So I unlocked bootloader using apk from asus site and patched boot.img using magisk. Now how to flash "magisk_patched.img"?

Tried that already. No luck.
Is the phone supposed to go into some special download mode screen like on Samsung?

After patching the boot.img did you boot into fastboot mode and runned the command for flashing the patched boot.img.
Was the flash successfull or not?
Please be specific in what step you are having issues with and what actions you took.

There is no such option with the stock recovery. Any way why do you need that. You don't need to use ADB commands to flash the patched boot.img.

So how do I flash the patched image? I really need to root this thing and would appreciate the help.
In Samsung phones it's pretty easy, boot into download mode and flash using odin, how to do that on this phone?
Anyone wanna report if there's any issues after rooting the device?

Turn device off.
hold down volume up and power button.
I get these three options you see in screenshot.
No download mode option.

There used to be a fastboot mode on the ROG phone on Android Oreo, i am not sure if things changed with Android Pie.
Anyway try the hardware method to connect, turn your phone off and connect it to the PC using the side port make sure to hold the low volume key when connecting the phone to the PC. See if a fastboot mode black screen shows up.
If not:
On the bootloader screan the second one you showed. On your PC after going to your platform tools and running the cmd window from there type the command:
Fastboot devices
Does it recognize your device?, if it does run the 2 commands stated in step 8. But do it on your own risk if something goes wrong you might brick the device and if you are not able to flash back the stock boot i am afraid you will end up with a bricked device until a solution is suggested.
I can't get into fast boot mode. Tried all options, volume up, volume down, usb, no usb, debugging on, debugging off...
No luck.
$20 for whoever helps me get this thing rooted.
