Help rooting

Hi, I have a lg l90 d405n with lolipop version v20a. I've rooted and changed rom last month but then restored it back to default rom. I' trying to root it again now but i cant. I followed different guides but none of them worked. I've tried the one click root, fails because send command crash. Update.zip in sd card, it fails because it cannot verify the file signature. Is there a specific method to use in this version?

If you have custom recovery instaled just download flashable supersu.zip and flash it..(search for it in xda forum to avoid scams).

You can always try Kingroot.
It never failed me in any device, but there are always a first time:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
I always used the pc version.
But try first with the APK.
Good Luck!!!

Reinstall LG drivers, and try again. If still not working and if your windows is 10 try rebooting it and try again.. I needed to do that sometimes for "1click root" to work..
If fails try kingo root although Its a bit difficult to replace it with supersu..

Kingroot worked, i've instaled aboot for the v20a software that's in the other thread, flashed clockworkmod and cyanogen. Working good thanks

Systemless root (Android 6.0) - Method for easy future OTA updates

I am looking for an easy way to be able to receive OTA updates after rooting with the 'systemless' root method, the steps I mention below assume that the system partition remains untouched after rooting. I have searched and not found a clear answer on this.
Would I be correct in assuming that this procedure should work to receive an OTA update and keep stock recovery after rooting?
Start with completely stock Android 6.0
fastboot boot twrp-recovery.img (boot TWRP, NOT flash, to maintain stock recovery after rooting)
Flash systemless root with TWRP
OTA arrives (Android 6.0.1 for example)
fastboot flash boot boot.img (with stock 6.0 kernel, root lost)
Accept & install OTA update
Success?
So unless I am missing something, this method would leave the system in a stock, unrooted state after the OTA is installed, and could be repeated for future updates. Anybody have any experience with this yet?

Sounds like it will work, but why mess with the ota? More work and risk honestly.
Since you're already using fastboot just flash the newest boot and system.img. Then flash/boot twrp and flash su like you'd need to do anyway. Done. You don't lose anything flashing system.

That is true, kind of just wondering/gathering information. It just seemed like with the new root method, OTA would be possible and less risky than before.

@quakeaz there is one step missing on your guide. After boot.img you also have to flash stock recovery.img. From Lollipop, Google is also checking installed recovery, and for successful OTA, it has to be stock as well.
Otherwise, your guide should work, I've done same thing with my Nexus 5 and 7 for like last 3 months.

Thanks for your reply, but I intentionally left that step out, due to step 2 in my list. By only booting TWRP, instead of flashing, I assume stock recovery will remain after rooting.

Ah, sorry, I overlooked that.
Since I have flashed TWRP instead of stock recovery, I'm going by same process as you write, just reflash stock recovery. And can confirm, that the process is indeed working (no need to install system.img, as with previous system-based SuperSU).

Sounds good!

Instead of fastboot flashing boot.img, you can use "Settings --> Full Unroot" in SuperSU. During SuperSU systemless flash, your old boot image is backed up. Among other things, the full unroot option will restore the backup, assuming it hasn't been lost due to a factory reset and whatnot.
On many firmwares, this procedure also restores stock recovery. This requires that both the firmware supports recreating the recovery from the boot image plus a patch file (most do), and that TWRP did not remove said patch file (which some versions do).
That being said, if you're using fastboot anyway, flashing boot, recovery, system and vendor manually is always the safest thing before an OTA.

Thanks for the info. So I take it while using systemless root, installing ota without unrooting is a big nono? The January ota just downloaded and is asking me to install, should I do it manually?

Thank you for this thread and the procedure. I tried myself to avoid as much as possible to use a computer for super easy OTA update. But there is always one obligatory step: to root the phone.
Phone systemless rooted (2.66) - TWRP installed - OTA arrives.
In SuperSu app : Fully unroot
Install OTA - success
Fastboot boot (or install) TWRP
Flash superSu 2.66.zip
And that's it!
My question is the following: Does it exist a possibility to load on step 3. something that could flash superSu.zip from within the phone, no computer required?
Maybe FlashFire? I guess not, for it needs root and the point is to flash a rooting zip... You see the loop there...
Would it be theoreticaly possible at all?

Yes, this is one of the use-cases of FlashFire. I just haven't finished updating it to 6.0 yet.

Oh nice!
I didn't know it cause I never had the chance to try out FlashFire.
Thanks so much for everything you do for the Android community!
Cheers!

Did you modify system?
Try flashing system, boot, and recovery.
Then try again.

Hi, I have a Oneplus One and today has been released an OTA, so I tried the method. I have COS13 JK (latest full rom) firmware, with systemless 2.84beta supersu and twrp.
The only apps that have root access are AdAway and Greenify (without mods to system apps). No Busybox installed.
I reverted via fastboot to original JK boot.img and recovery.img, and restored, via Adaway, the original hosts file, then I applied the OTA via stock Cyano Recovery, but update failed ("system partition has unexpected contents" error).
Why?
Thanks.

you have to unroot first from the app.Revert to original boot. and then flash

I tried: no way to install OTA, I had to wait for the full rom, and dirty flashed it via TWRP without a problem.
Then I rerooted.
Bye!

ok i seem to be getting the run around on where i need to be to ask my question(s)
i am very interested in systemless root....
that being said i am clueless and all info i am findingis just super confusing me.
if someone could humor a noob to systemless rooting that would be greatly appreciated!!
i recently bought 2 new phone for my household, both are the lg tribute hd (also called lg x style)
one click root and pc method of kingoroot etc dont work... i cant locate a twrp or a cwm for this model easily by searching so i am assuming there isnt one (maybe someone could located or help to build one?)- or maybe im not tech smart enough and i can use any?(i dont think so)
model is lg ls675,android 6.0.1, kernel version 3.10.49, build # MXB48T, software is ls676zv3
main reason at the moment for trying to get root is to remove bloatware and to be able to wifi tether without limitations buy the provider, on ther phone that i have obtained root on i used an app called WIFI Tether Router which works beautifully but requires root...
please help as this is how we use our computer with internet and its beneficial all the way around especially to get rid of bloatware and keep device running smoothly...
thanks again for any help. greatly appreciated.
if im not in the right thread please kindly direct me to the correct one. thanks

[Request] Stock or Not rom/backup

Hi,
I have a p8 lite 2017. My model number is: pra-lx1c55, after I changed it with a backup from pra-lx1c900. (It was buggy and there are no any updates for c900)
My question is, do anyone have a c432 stock rom, or a quiet stable working rom (it can be a 6x rom too if works) for this phone?
The best would be a full backup of the c432 dual sim version.
P.s. why I want to change it? Because I can't download any updates (tried factory reset) because when I try to update the updater says: Package faliure.
Thanks

Download the OEMINFO backup for 432 (Find it on xda), restore this file with TWRP and next flash the c432 firmware with Adb Fastboot, Enjoy!

Thank you and I don't want to brick my phone so I want a little more information.
What exact files do I need to flash with adb? Like all: product.img too? How could I do that or do I even need these?
Thank you.

For flash the firmware you need to flash boot.img, cust.img, recovery.img and system.img. for first you need to put the c432 oeminfo next flash the firmware.

Root Huawei Mate 10 Pro with MAGISK (TWRP needed)

Hello guys,
today i rooted my Huawei Mate 10 pro and tought i could write a Guide because no one else did atleast i didnt find a usefull Guide
So first of all
it always can happen that your Phone bricks in that case its your own fault.
I take no responsibility for any Damage on your Phone.
At the first Step you have to Download all the things you need (DL Links are on the Bottom of the posts )
So here is what you need: TWRP for the Huawei Mate 10 pro, and the Magisk files (ZIP & APK) and ADB minimal + Windows 10 FIX
Your Bootloader must be unlocked (Very simple just google it)
Your Phone should have at leaste 80% Power
So now that we have Downloaded everything and unlocked the Bootloader we can Finally start.
Hard part ... installing TWRP
At First you have to flash the Recovery for this you have to connect your Phone to the PC and allow the USB Debugging
The you start the ADB Minimal Tool and typ the following command:
ADB reboot Bootloader
after the Phone changed sucessfully into the Botloader you type the next Command
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk [ Filepath\TWRP.img ]
without the Brackets
after the Files are Transfered you have TWRP already installed
Now to the easyer part ... installing MAGISK and MAGSIK Manager
At first you have to boot into recovery with the following command:
adb reboot recovery
After you ran the command you Phone will be in the TWRP recovery
The next Step is to navigate to the Advanced settings in TWRP and click ADB Sideload
and Swipe right without ticking any Checkbox there.
Now you have to run the next Command
adb sideload [ Filepath\Magisk.zip ]
After the Files are Transfered you just have to restart the phone and get the MAGISK Manager on your
Phone. Don't Download MAGISK from the PlayStore look for it here on XDA.
When you made no Mistakes and I made no mistakes in my Guide your Phone should be rooted if you see
any mistakes i made please tell me so i can correct them
Edit:
Thanks to ante0 for providing the links

Same problem I guess: rooted with SU, and now I can't root with Magisk:
"Updater process ended with ERROR : 1" and "Boot image patched by other programs" + "Please restore stock boot image"
So I need to restore stock before rooting with Magisk...

I'm having the same problem on C636 and racking my brains out trying to figure out a way to get rid of SuperSU and install Magisk without losing all my stuff. Does anyone know of a way?

Any one knows if this method will turn your camera to crap and remove the drm keys? Some people have reported this as an issue.

Can't say about the DRM keys but the Camera looks good. Only thing is that Snapchat has this oil painting looking vibe going on. I can't remember if it was like that before hand

I had rooted my Mate 10 Pro (C432) with SuperSu. Afterwards i tried to switch to magisk but had problems. Installed stock firmware and rooted with magisk. I decided to use magisk because of many problems with SuperSu.

You don't need twrp recovery.
You can use Odin to flash patched boot.img from magisk to gain root access once your bootloader is unlocked

When you get ota notification of system update.
DO NOT install it directly.
Before click the install button, open magisk and uninstall it.
Now, power off the phone and flash original boot.img.
Once boot up, do the ota.
Then redo the boot.img patching thing.
I haven't fully test it because my phone only have 2 images right now. xsa.
I use the similar approach in other phones, and they all doing well.
