Root titan_retuaws (xt1064) from Android 5.0.2 - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Folks,
Model number: Moto G (2nd Generation)
System Version: 22.46.12.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US retus
Build number: LXB22.99-24.12
Android version: 5.0.2
I've spent a couple hours so far trying to root this thing. Lots of guides that claim that they cover this device either don't really (the xt1064 isn't actually listed once you get into the guts of the how-to), or they just don't work.
The bootloader is unlocked, but I haven't found a working recovery. They're all too big, apparently. I've tried these, for instance:
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-titan.img
TWRP2.7.1.1-titan-motog-2014.img
twrp-2.8.3.0-titan.img
twrp-2.8.6.0-titan.img
twrp-2.8.4.0-titan.img
This is what happens:
Code:
[email protected] ~/Downloads $ sudo fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.3.0-titan.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (9674 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Value too large for defined data type))
finished. total time: 0.011s
Does anybody know of an actual working recovery for this thing?
Also, is there a special SuperSU, once I get it rooted?
Thanks,
Jamie

Actually, many of them work very well with the XT1064. Make sure everything (adb, fastboot, the TWRP image) are in the same directory on your computer. I've literally flashed my XT1064 dozens of times using the directions posted all over XDA.
You should be able to open up a cmd prompt in the directory with your files and type, fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, then fastboot reboot.
BTW, I believe TWRP is up to 2.8.7 now.

I'm on linux (Mint), and adb/fastboot are installed via package management, and they're on my path. I don't remember having to install a second set of tools and put the image in the same directory as the tools before (when flashing other devices). My output from above shows that the img file is found (it's just too big). Since I can't test it now (machine's at home), what's the rationale for having to put the image in the same directory as the fastboot executable?
FWIW, as of this writing, the downloads page only shows up to twrp-2.8.6.0-titan.img.

Is this the one you're talking about, and have you rooted a titan, specifically?

That's just the home page. When you drill into the titan download page, the versions aren't as new as the home page would suggest.

[REQ] 10.1 System Dump (.img)

Hi,
Could someone please dump a system image for the 10.1? It's reeeealy easy
There are a few soft-bricks already due to people flashing the wrong image or to the wrong partition ( you know who you are, people! ) and you would be doing them a massive favour if you did.
If you already have busybox, all you have to do is run this:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/system.img
Then you can pick it up the system.img from /sdcard
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/system.img
ZIP it and upload it somewhere ( Dropbox ) and you're done!
TIA
BC
Http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/sys-backup
The system_extra backup contains extra stuff (from the 'tools' compilation).
Thanks. There are a couple of people who will really appreciate that
OT: I just repacked your su/busybox update with the boot.img from the Voda 10.1 and it works fine. Link to the Voda boot.img is here
Would it be possible to get the original system image without the extra tools? I am trying to flash this image however I keep getting a remote error when I do so. Could it have something to do with the fact that this image is 600MB compared to other system images that are around 200 MB like for the gt 10.1v? Thanks again for posting it.
the extra stuff is not making it 600mb (maybe 10-20). It is quite big on the IO.
In order to fastboot flash it you must have an unlocked bootloader to do so (which in unlocked by default on the IO).
Ok so my bootloader is unlock however every time I try flashing this image i get the following:
sending 'system' (591872 KB)...
FAILED (remote: (00000006))
finished. total time: 0.002s
I am able to flash other system images no problem however, this one seems to be giving me some issues. Any other ideas to flash this image successfully? Thanks.

ill retake the dump and upload it. ill do it tonight. maybe some corruption ocurred, etc.
It might be the same trick where you have to create a sparse ext4 image instead of ripping the image straight, because fastboot transfers the entire image in RAM before flashing it...
Try
Code:
make_ext4fs -l 512m -s /sdcard/system.img /system
If anyone has created a system image but isn't quite sure if it is the correct one, I'll be glad to try it out as I am one of those people who soft bricked their device. Just PM me and I'll be more than happy to flash my device and verify the stability of the system image. Thanks.
Nader
bump? Did anyone end up getting a system image? Thanks.
Nader
Ok so I was able to get a hold of another system image however, it still failed with the same error.
ydaraishy mentioned something about using make_ext4fs to make a sparse image? How is this done exactly? Is this through the adb shell or is this a separate tool that can be used on a linux machine. Any help on bringing my device back to life would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

He has a soft-bricked device so that's not an option unfortunately.
You can do a MD5 checksum of the file and get pershoot to check it against the original.
Otherwise, in the mean time, you can try this tool:
http://www.diskinternals.com/download/
You want the tool called "Linux Reader 2.0". It says it can only read ext2 and ext3, but I just tried it on my 10.1v system image which I created using the same method as pershoot, and it works fine.
...and see if you can mount it in Windows. If you can, the image is (probably) OK.

Well, obviously, someone _else_ has to provide that image from a working device.
Same error here, while trying to flash the system.img. Any alternatives?
Thanks,
Eduardo.
I just received another system image from a friend of mine who created it using make_ext4fs. It does flash successfully however, it still leaves my device in a boot loop. Whats the button combination to get the device into recovery mode?
I find it funny that the boot, recovery and system images for the galaxy tab 10.1v actually work and the device runs. Although the accelerometer, camera and usb don't work though.
Eduardo if you would like, you can PM me and I can share with you the dropbox folder of the system image that actually flashed to see if it would work on your device.
I think at this point I may just throw in the towel and send my device back to Samsung to get repaired :/
Thanks to everyone on the xda forums who tried helping me out. You guys are truly awesome

Samsung may charge you for the repair
Before you send it back, just have one more go at flashing the boot.img which smaskell provided from here. Just do a:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
The boot loop may be due to a different (incompatible) kernel if you still have the boot partition from the 10.1v
Failing that, if you're still up for it, do a:
Code:
adb logcat > %userprofile%\desktop\logcat-out.txt
...then open the locgat-out.txt file on your desktop and post the contents here or just zip and attach the file. That might give us something to work with
I am also not able to flash this system.img file. I get the same error.
I did remember to flash the boot image of the 10.1 over the 10.1v. However, even when the device is booting up I still can't get access to the adb shell. Any ideas as to why I cannot access the adb shell?
I did notice though that when I had typed in:
fastboot getvar product
It had returned GT-P7100 which is the product number for the Galaxy Tab 10.1v, however the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has the product number GT-P7510.
Could this be because I had accidentally flashed the 10.1v rom or that these devices both use the same version of fastboot etc?

My tablet is showing P7100 as well. I tested with my employee's GT LE, and it shows the same. So, this is not the problem...
adb is not accessible to me as well.

Unroot?

Can I just erase from settings to restore to default?

our best bet is probably to follow this guide here...

Or maybe easier would be just to...
fastboot flash system <nameofsystemfilehere>.img
I would have to double check my last bit of advice though.
Newbie help
is there anyway to do this without deleting my stuff. Sorry im a newbie at this. i orginialy installed the first root moto app and it had a unroot option. the new one doesnt and i really need to get back to stock without doing anything complicated

Well...
fastbooting the system should not delete your user data. and its not really complicated.
Do you have ADB set up on your computer?
i think so

First let's go over the easy version...
reboot into bootloader and...
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
####EDIT####
If fastboot will not flash the system.img use a different fastboot.exe created to flash the larger .img

And if you leave it named "mfastboot" then you must issue the commands with the "m"...
"mfastboot flash system system.img"
without the parenthesis of course
So that's the easy and short version. Do that and you have restored your phone to stock without losing your app data.
Now the complicated part is whether not you know what to do with that information? In fastboot if you type...
fastboot devices
...it should return you serial number. If it does not then you do not have the proper drivers installed. Install Motorola Device Manager and this should solve the problem http://goo.gl/DiRvpE
Then of course you need the system.img and the recovery.img http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost_rcica/list.php
MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLAOD THE FILES FOR THE RIGHT PHONE OR YOU ARE HOSED
Once you download that file you will have to unzip it with something like 7zip or Winrar and when you do you will find those files. Then the files have to be copied to the "platform-tools" folder of your android sdk (or the folder where your fastboot.exe is).
Then you can open a command prompt from that folder with your device attached and...
adb devices
...should return a serial number
adb reboot bootloader
...should reboot into bootloader
fastboot devices
...should return a serial number
fastboot flash system system.img
...should flash the system...
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
...should flash the recovery...
fastboot reboot
...should reboot the device and you will enter set up but your user data will be preserved.
I am always nervous about helping people because if they break something they like to blame someone. I work a full time job and had a little time to do this write up. This is no guarantee that if you need help in the future that I will be able to help or even know how to help. Please make sure you understand that and are prepared to resolve your issue on your own.

As long as you are using the proper system and recovery. If you flash the ATT system to a VZW device you are going to have problems.

Will this also revert back to stock recovery? All I have to do after this is to lock relock bootloader (if I want to)?

When you perform this operation manually, you have your stock recovery restored. I did not try this automatic tool, but I think the result is the same.
i have adb installed but when i run this script i get and error saying mfastboot.exe is not a recognized internal or external command. any ideas?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2427667 download that file and extract it into the folder where you have already placed all the files. it should then work fine. it is the mfastboot file that is missing. took a lot of trial and error to figure out how to get it working lol i found it by doing this whole process manually by following a guide on here.

The part in spanish says " "adb" isn't recognized as an intern or extern command, program or file executable" or something like that.
help? thank you in advance
edit: I don't know if it helps, but I was using CM 12.1 without problems. Then the phone froze and I restarted it. BAM! bootloop. I can't enter recovery.

use the this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2427667. extract the files into the folder where you put the tool then it will work ok.
Everything works fine, just like the guys above said - you need to put the files in /platform-tools directory and rename fastboot.exe to mfastboot.exe.
I guess it saved my device from bootloop.
NOT WORKING: Image is too large
I have a problem when using this tool, I'm quite desperate to fix it because I don't have a recovery due to installing the wrong TWRP version (I installed Titan) at first, here is the problem:
When I start the script I get multiple 'Image file is too large' errors on my phone, this is in my cmd when the errors happen.

Clearly the 'Target max-sparse-size (256MB) is smaller than the file it's trying to write (for example 259819 KB > 256 MB), I wonder if there is a way to expand the target max-sparse-size, or if there is any other solution. These errors now result in an infinite ' bootloader unlocked screen'
I am 100% sure that I have a XT1072 .
I will donate if you help me fix this
Don't know what to do?
Hi.
I download the file through the link and i don't know what to do next, can you walk me trough what should i do next. Pls

Thank you so much for posting where you found this, this is exactly what I needed!!! You saved my tablet, it is much appreciated! :good:
Flashing Factory Image
The following instructions worked for me when trying to reflash the factory firmware for the ATT Asus MemoPad 7 LTE (ME375CL). I did originally try using the Asus Flash Tool and the raw firmware file (link below) but the tool said it could not unzip the package for some reason or another. So the steps below show how I did it using ADB with fastboot.
I ASSUME NO LIABILITY SHOULD THIS GO WRONG FOR YOU! However, it probably shouldn't matter if you are bricked, I doubt it will make it any worse Either way, I will not replace your tablet or be responsible for troubleshooting it should you mess it up more...
This scenario is based on the tablet stuck on the Asus boot screen and not going any further. I was trying some in depth rooting attempts and bricked it badly. I was then trying to install a custom recovery and that is why I could not reset it and bricked it.
PRE-REQS:
1. ADB installed - Download: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0fKccJIuWsna04wMjY1eG9YREU
2. Asus Drivers installed
3. Firmware - Download: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0fKccJIuWsnWGhwYzA0Vkluc2s (file is 1 Gb + in size, may take a bit)
SETUP:
If you already have a working ADB setup, do not download the one above. If you are using the one above, I extracted the folder into my C: drive, so the path for ADB would be C:\adb (to keep it simple and less typing).
MAKE SURE THE ASUS DRIVERS ARE INSTALLED! If you have plugged the tablet in to a pc before, they should already be there. Otherwise search, download and install the appropriate drivers.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Extract the firmware zip file to somewhere easily accessible like your desktop. In there, you should see the boot.img, recovery.img and system.img files, copy/paste those files to your ADB folder (for easier typing later on). There are also additional files like these but start with "unsigned_", do NOT use those!
1. Ensure you probably have at least 30% battery charge, I would still recommend more though.
2. Put the tablet in Fastboot mode by ensuring the tablet is completely powered down and then press/hold the VOLUME UP and POWER keys at the same time. When the Asus screen appears, let go of the POWER button but continue to hold the VOLUME UP button. Let go of the VOLUME UP button when the fastboot screen appears.
3. Plug the tablet in to the computer and then open a CMD prompt as administrator.
4. The following uses the ADB downloaded and placed in the folder as listed above, you may need to adjust the location path as needed if you already have ADB installed or located in a different path.
Type in the following without the quotes: "cd c:\adb" (this will change the path to the ADB files for the CMD prompt)
Type in the following without the quotes: "fastboot devices" (you should then see a device listed)
Type in the following without the quotes: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (flashes the factory recovery image)
Type in the following without the quotes: "fastboot flash system system.img" (flashes the factory system image, may take a while to flash)
Type in the following without the quotes: "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (flashes the factory boot image)
5. Once those 3 images have been flashed, you should have seen a message that says "OKAY" after each one. You should be fine as long as you do not have any red error messages on your tablet.
Type in the following without the quotes: "fastboot reboot" (reboots device normally)
6. If all goes well, it should now boot to the Asus screen and then go to the ATT screen. If so, it will stay on the ATT screen for a while, just wait it out. Mine took about 12-15 minutes and then it opened to the new setup screen to set the tablet up as if its new!
This is how I was able to recover my bricked tablet, hopefully it can help someone else that may run into this.
John, thank you for the write-up. Just bought my ME375CL with 4.4.4.4.
When I try to flash the recovery partition, I get the following error:
C:\Users\Myself\Desktop\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Click to collapse
and on the tablet's screen:
FASTBOOT CMD WAITING...

E:recovery flash failed!

RESULT: FAIL(flash_cmds error! )
Click to expand...

I haven't tried the other commands for system.img or boot.img as I don't want to do anything out of order from the write-up. Ever run into this?
The firmware in the download is 5.1.1, not 4.4.4. That is probably the issue. If you are running good on that, I would try rooting it instead. If you are just wanting to upgrade, you will need to have an active AT&T SIM in the tablet to upgrade over the air. I am not sure if there is a flashable upgrade or not somewhere.
Oh ok John. I misread the title of the thread. I thought it was for updating from 4 to 5.
Quick question then: Is it possible, using the adb / fastboot tools, to backup the current 4.4.4.4 before I allow the tablet to update to Lollipop? After reading around, I understand that Lollipop can't be rooted but I have no real concern for it. But just in case I need the tablet to do something else in the future, I'd like to be able to return it to kit kat to be able to root.
Once you upgrade to lollipop, there is no downgrading for this tablet. There really is not much development for this device. I have kind of been working on a lollipop root when I can. Between my limited time and knowledge of android, I can't promise anything.
Overcoming red messages?
Dear John,
Thank you very much for your help. My device runs KitKat 4.4, I can't upgrade over the air, as I damaged my sim slot struggling to remove a stuck nano sim, which I had inserted before I realized that it required a micro sim. (I'd wrongly assumed that by now the world uses only nano).
I followed the steps above, which you wrote so clearly for lay men, thank you a lot.
The flash for recovery.img and system.img worked fine (no red error messages on device).
The flash for boot.img had a red error message.
Might you have an idea or workaround on how I can address this?
If it refuses, is it possible to factory reset?
Thank you very much again for any words of advice and kind regards.

Sounds odd that it did 2 out of 3 flashes. After you flashed those and rebooted, are you still on KitKat or did it actually update to Lollipop (5.1)? I ask because I assume the system image that flashed would be the operating system.
I still want to stress that this post is for recovering a bricked tablet that will not boot at all. I would not suggest using this as a flashing upgrade as I do not know if it will truly work. If you are still on KK (even after flashing) you could try installing the Asus Flash Tool and use the raw firmware that you downloaded and try it that way. It did not work for me so that is why I used fastboot. It might work for you.

As a follow up on your question above, Tab restart stalled at a screen (after the Asus logo), presenting some options to do recovery, reboot, factory reset, etc. (factory reset did not help), and red error messages at bottom.
To the GOOD news for anyone interested. I used the Asus Flash Tool and the firmware zip for 5.1.1 (many thanks for the advice).
Note: Tool did not install correctly on Win10 pc, citing error in installing some devcon.exe or similar file (guess that may be a firewall/antivirus issue).
Flash tool took some 15 or so mins unzipping firmware, after which I saw some action on the tab. Another 15 mins, and it rebooted to the At&t logo, stayed here for another 15 mins and unraveled a whole new device on Android 5.1
Glad to hear it worked for you and that I guess you can use this to flash upgrade from kitkat!
There is working way to root our device on lollipop! It is for the other Asus model, but it works for our
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=640814&view=findpost&p=53047686
I will check this out!
The root works, installed without any issues and verified with a root checker!
Here is a direct download from my Drive folder: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0fKccJIuWsnN21ZbnZpc2F6b1E
1. Download the file above.
2. Extract the zip contents.
3. Plug your ME375CL tablet in to pc via usb cable.
4. Make sure you have enabled Developer Mode and allowed USB Debugging first!
5. Open the folder you extracted and double click the "Root-One-Click.cmd" file.
6. It should reboot to fastboot mode and flash the needed files and then reboot again.
You should now have root access. Verify this by installing a root checker app from the play store. Keep in mind, it may say root not installed on the first run. Sometimes it will take a moment for superuser to initially run or prompt for access.
Side note: the root uninstall did not seem to work, got an error...but oh well, the point is to have root!
Thanks go to @little_pindos for finding this file...you are a rockstar!
Anyone get xposed on LP?
ATT Boot Up Sound
Tired of the ATT boot sound? If you used the rooting method above, then you can get rid of the annoying ATT startup sound by doing the following:
1. Install a Root Browser app (I recommend Rom Toolbox Pro, it has a built in file manager)
2. Navigate to the following path:
root/system/media
3. Find the file named "powerup.wav"
4. Simply rename the file by adding .bak to the end (ex - powerup.wav.bak)
5. Make sure it took the name change (some file managers have issues with that)
6. Reboot and see if it got rid of the sound!
You can also use your own startup sounds as long as they are in a .wav format, I believe. Make sure that the name of the file is powerup.wav.
You can also change your boot animation with "boot animation" app.
Best tweak IMO is adding "ro.config.low_ram=true" to build prop, or installing the low ram device xposed module if we can get it to work (both do the same thing). You gain about 100mb more free RAM on average.

Rooting the G8s - Guide

I got root and Magisk working on my G8s (LM-G810EAW)!!
The patched boot image I used for my German (NEU) G8s can be downloaded from (check your Android security patch date in the phone system settings and choose the corresponding version):
Version v10n: here (2019) or
Version v10p: here (January 2020 security patch) or
Version v10q: here (March 2020 security patch)
Version v10r: here (May 2020 security patch)
(then start on step 11)
If you have the same model (AND version!) you can use that, otherwise follow the steps below:
Guide:
0. Unlock the bootloader (https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev).
1. Go to https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg810eaw-firmwares/#tab=firmwares and sort by date (newest first).
2. Download the kdz for your region (I chose NEU).
3. Download https://github.com/steadfasterX/kdztools (and install python 3.8 if you don't have it, and add it to your PATH variable).
4. Put the .kdz file in the same directory as the tools.
5. Open a command prompt and run "python .\unkdz.py -f .\YOURFILE.kdz -x". This will create a .dz file using the .kdz file.
6. The newly created .dz file is located in the "/kdzextracted" folder. Move it to the parent folder ("kdztools-master").
7. Run "python .\undz.py -f .\YOURNEWFILE.dz -s". This will make everything into .image files.
8. The output files are in the "/dzextracted" folder.
9. Find the "boot_a.image" file and copy it to your phone's internal storage with e.g. a USB cable.
10. Install the Magisk Manager app (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases).
11. Open the app and click Install -> Install -> Select and Patch a File. Choose the boot.image file. Magisk will then patch it and output a patched image file.
12. Copy the patched image (magisk_patched.img) file to your computer.
13. Put the file in the same directory as adb and fastboot.
14. Enable USB debugging in Android settings and then boot into fastboot with ".\adb.exe reboot bootloader".
15. When the phone is in fastboot, run ".\fastboot.exe flash boot .\magisk_patched.img".
16. Restart (".\fastboot reboot") and run the Magisk manager app and you should have root
17. If you do this process for new updates, remember to unhide the Magisk manager app before updating!
Otherwise, after updating: (If you have a hidden Magisk manager app (repackaged) then you need to uninstall it and reinstall the original version, otherwise it won't detect that you have root!)

Okay well, your image doesn't work for me (carrier-free German G8S, tells me it can't flash boot with unlocked bootloader which apparantly means the file itself doesn't work) and trying to unpack KDZs (whichever I try) result in weird python errors I can't get behind and no one had similar problems (on Windows, at least - so SALT is not an option for me right now as it is a Linux only app)
sigh
EDIT:
Found the solution!
You wrote down the wrong command to flash the img.
the correct one would be "fastboot flash boot_a FILENAME.img"
only stumbled over this after realizing that the boot image you pulled was called "boot_a" and fastboot tried to flash it onto "boota" with the normal "boot" command
3 hours wasted but at least I have root now!

tried it with another ABD/Fastboot version too and still the same
I've rooted several phones from different brands over the last... I don't know, 5 years... and fastboot has never betrayed me like that before
LG seems to hate me though - particularly when it comes to rooting/flashing -, so maybe it's just my personal bad luck again
LG Mobile driver and "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" use it since LG G5 and everything has always worked reliably
I had to try this with my G8 (US, LMG820QM). The website:
https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
Gave me this message:
Unfortunately, your device( LMG820QM.CCA )does not support
unlocking the bootloader. Your account will be locked if you enter the
wrong information more than 9 times.
So no supported for my G8 in the US. Yet. (A guy can dream.)

Eh we will get an unofficial unlock method within a couple months probably

Yes I know. I tried to unlock the bootloader the day before, but it didn't work so I emailed them and asked when the G8s would be unlockable.
I got an answer saying that
it will not be activated in the near future

The day after I tried again and it worked, even though the G8s isn't on the list No idea why
All work fine after unlock the bootloader? Wifi, camera quality, network, etc...
Even better because i can set the kernel
With magisk everything runs without problems root and System works fine. No problems even bluetooth runs excellent :good:
