just to let u know, It doesn't seem to work when u root the device on MM...
and if u had it on when ur rooted, and go into recovery, u will have to play with it to get ur device up, u will get a blank black screen with the words ... Reactivation Locked.
I tried to install it after my rom was all setup, and I put back stock recovery, but like I said this time it doesn't work after root.

I have the latest clock work recovery...
Download and flash a Rom.
You may have f'd up your current Rom files. So if you can go into recovery, just download a new Rom from here..put it on your sd card and flash.
^what he said
just flash a stock root rom. that way you have a clean nand to work from.

[Q] IncS S-OFF but no root access HELP!!

Hey guys
So a couple of months back i had a huge problem, my usb port broke and so i tried unrooting it so that I could bring it back to my carrier so they could fix it but I looked everywhere for a way to unroot without using the usb port and the only way i found was to go in Superuser and click TEMP UNROOT
so i checked that box and i lost root access. By doing this i lose the binary file for superuser or something (Sorry im a newb at this stuff ) so when i actually fixed my phone myself i no longer had root access. So i then proceeded to revert to stock rom thinking it would give back S-on... it didnt.
Now im stuck on Bell mobility stock rom with S-Off and no root access
I want to get back root access i just dont know how, someone please show me how because im not able to uncheck temp unroot i tried every single way and downloaded every one of the super user app and none work because theres no SU binary file.
Please help!
Also if i have to please show me how to revert back to S-on and i will re-root my phone from there
thanks and have a great day guy
PS: Reminder
i want help to either get back root access since unchecking temp unroot in SU doesnt work at all
OR IF THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE,
please tell me hoe to revert to S-on and from there I will re-root my phone
and ALSO
i cant even boot in recovery its like its gone ...
i downloaded rom manager and when i click boot into recovery
it says error occured while attempting to run priviledged commands
THANKS!!!
Try flashing superuser again.
http://androidsu.com/superuser/ download 3.1.3 arm signed, put it on sd and flash via recovery..

i cant even boot in recovery its like its gone ...

Try redoing the steps on how to s-off your device, and for the recovery, try reflashing it using fastboot

[Solved]Wiped complete system rom, no os is installed.

OK people i won't talk much, i by mistake in twrp went to wipe then advance wipe and selected everything in there (including system)( i got a 158 mb update to v10d software i did that but it kinda failed cuz it rebooted once and got to twrp and stayed on it forever all other reboots take me to twrp and nothing else and then i wiped everything after trying many times cuz i was mad ).
SO yeah now there's no os installed in it.
BTW i have l90 D410 the dual sim version v10c software rooted and unlocked bootloader with guides from XDA only.
To fix myself i tried downloading CM 11 and tried flashing the zip from twrp at first i got w7ds error telling my device is not w7, so i searched a bit and got something which said change updater script and edit "w7" to "w7ds" in the first few lines. So i did that and tried to flash again but then i got MD5 does not match
WHAT should i do?
ATM im just stuck on twrp with no os installed in my l90 or say i have a completely wiped l90 with twrp recovery and a sd card (8 gb) and when trying to reboot twrp says your device doesnt look rooted install supersu to root it (obviously swiping to install dont work), other twrp functions are working good.
HELP PLSsssss most appreciated.

Did you try installing stock rom with kdz files using guides to be found on L90 general (I think) section?

What thread did you get your recovery from, @Quarx CM11? There is an option in TWRP on the page that's displayed right after selecting files to install, "Zip file signature verification". Make sure it's unchecked. Unchecking that option should bypass the MD5 verification and allow the installation. Unfortunately, you may have to continue with editing the updater-script on new installs.
I'll speak with @shoxxy and @Quarx about creating recoveries for the dual sim devices so that we can prevent this error from happening anymore. This will mean that there will eventually be 2 different sets of recoveries available for the L90. One set for dual-sim devices, and one set for single sim devices. By recovery set, I mean all available recoveries, CWM, TWRP, and Philz-Touch.
The reason for TWRP not installing SuperSU to root the OS is because there is no OS to root.

i believe i got twrp from google (damn) , by md5 verification you mean that zip file verification should have a cross infront of it or not? well w/e it is i tried in both ways (having cross and not having one) but it checks for md5 both times, maybe because i dont have twrp from quarx thread.
Can i update my twrp to quarx's one? if so how pls tell, would be much helpfull.
EDIT : atm i have downloaded few files that might be needed to unbrick(stock kdz file, cm11 28/10 build, twrp image from quarx) on my pc
UPDATE
OK i got to install cm11 on my device and when i try to fix permissions is says a SELinux is present (good) but phone is still just booting in twrp only.....
HELPPPP
nooooooo some1 pls help im desperate.......
p.s. why doesnt twrp remember my settings, i set screen timeout to 15 sec, after every reboot i have to w8 full 60 sec to get its screen timeout to be able to use the touch screen.
EDIT: OK guys dont bother yourself now i got myself running cm11 on my phone and its unbricked now. Cheers and thanks for your time.
if any1 wants me to tell what happened to my device how it happened and how i fixed w/e i tried etc then pls tell i might write it down for some other people who might be stuck.

you said that u updated ur device to 10d..
Thats d problem.....
If u updated ur phone without stock recovery..
It will struck at twrp..
If u try to flash roms..
but still u'll struck at twrp (It happens to me tooo)
After rebooting the phone is directly enter into recovery mode to flash new update ..
I don't know where the update file and script stored but until its updated its still struck at the same twrp..
if u remove cache/delvik cache/data/system..
But still its trying to update phone by entering into recovery mode.......
So,
Only one solution to this.
Flash kdz file using offline method.
Here's link to thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-flash-stock-kdz-offline-lg-l90-t2803479
but after flashing kdz 10C.
It'll automatically update to 10d (Don't panic at this)..

the problem here is that my phone was not in usb debugging mode before brick and i spent 6-7 hrs figuring out how to get my device detected, but it never got detected in my pc.
BTW my prob for now is solved since my phone is running cm11 very well, its true that i lost some good functionality like knock on, qslide apps, quick window software, etc. but at least it has an os to boot into now.

You need to download the firmware (around 900mb) not cm ROM (300mb)

i have found out how to fix this what you need to do is first flash a rom zip file get your stock recovery image for your device and flash it via twrp select install than install image find your stock recovery image then flash it then it will boot to the previous rom you tried to install then you can reflash twrp and all good

Phone restarts every minute, cannot enter recovery mode, Please help!

As I said, phone is restarting every minute, it cannot enter recovery mode by using 3 buttons. I've tried hard resetting, but whenever I press the button to erase it, it either does nothing or it restarts again. Also whenever I change some of the settings they revert after a restart. I've tried flashing some rooted roms with odin, and it said "pass" but phone still remained the same. I've tried flashing pit files, the three button recovery and all, but still nothing did any good... Is there any way I can fix this? Is there any way to find stock official images and install them without odin, like LG's software update kdz, or HTC official installer files? Is the phone just dead? Please help guys!

Well from what I see, it seems she checked right options. What could possibly go wrong with it? After Odin was done, the phone was exactly the same as before...
If odin fails try unchecking the reboot option and flash again.

Try to install twrp from novafusion by odin without checked 'restart phone'. Then pool out battery, put inside and go to recovery mode. Choose wipe, advanced wipe, choose everything without SdCard and slide button. Next turn off phone.
After this turn on download mode and install stock rom by odin.
If it not help, you have bricked phone.
Try any method but i dont know why you do something with pit file. Its not recommended to do wth this if its not necesary.
Cheers!

I don't think pit file thing did anything because phone just reverted back. By the way phone is running stock it isn't rooted. Shouldn't it be rooted for custom recoveries?

Answered on your question, yes. Because you need full access to operations on your phone. Btw, when you instal twrp and in some part of this recovery you want leave and restart, twrp ask you, did you want root your rom (its clue).
The easiest way to root your stock rom, find thread with prerooted stock rom to install by odin. Its the easiest way.

I think you need a custom recovery installed such as TWRP to disable dm-verity, but don't quote me on it.

I think your problem is that you're not on the stock rom and you're trying to use the stock recovery... dm_verity goes hand in hand with the official rom, you can see this if you go into download mode, you would see binary would say something like "samsung official" system status would say something like "original" or "official". You can find this in smart switch > more > emergency software recovery and initialization > device initialization.
Why is using TWRP not possible? Please elaborate, what rom are you running? I think 3rd party recovery is necessary to bypass this issue in all cases when using unofficial rom.
I would suggest initializing your device via smart switch, make sure to back up everything if you can as it will be lost, however, I think that it should resolve the issue entirely. Initialization if you can't boot into stock rom, you will need to enter download mode and in smart switch type the model number and then the serial number, it should initiate then.
You could try waiting for someone who knows their stuff, but initialization via smart switch (not just the image pulled from sammobile which leaves some files out) is probably the way to go, IMO. I'm just a novice, but I'm the only one that's replied, so hopefully some others can chime in and say if I'm giving you bad advice.

You will always fail dm-verity in stock recovery on a modified device.
It's pointless trying to OTA on a modified device. It will fail.
To update you need to flash the stock firmware with odin in DOWNLOAD mode not RECOVERY.

Then there's nothing you can do. You either need root, twrp or odin.
I have a similar problem, dm+verity verification failed in stock recovery but I have not rooted or installed any other firmware.
So my questions are
1. Has someone else installed it without my knowledge?
2. Has someone installed something through adb sideload without my knowledge?
3. Have i deleted something I shouldnt have?
4. When i go into stock recovery and before i choose what to such as "recovery logs" if i hold down the home/finger print button for about 2 secs the highlighted colour changes from blue to green, is this normal?
Thanks in advance
