Do you ever wanted to install TWRP, root MM or install custom ROMs?
... THEN READ ON
As I do not know if you here are aware of my unlocking attempts I wanted to point to my thread over here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/bl-unlock-unlock-bootloader-proof-t3648288
Before starting check your antirollback version ( http://tinyurl.com/antirollg4 )! This method will *not* work for devices with an ARB>=3.
The main thing is that my method is based on flashing / converting any device into a LS991:
So if you own a LS991 device it should just work for you - without functional limitations (afaik)!
I mean until now I have no LS991 testers yet but that hopefully changes after this post
.
After looking, can you clarify how things would be different if you use that procedure with the Sprint LS991?
I ask because seems like most of the steps are for tricking *other* phones into saying that they are LS991. But, if you already have a sprint phone, it already will say that, so what is left of the procedure that is somehow different from previous attempts?
Is it something about using a different windows boot mode to install TWRP - is the new procedure somehow allowing us to install TWRP permanently on a sprint LS991?

It will disable secure boot *enforcement*. That means it will still detect modifications of your boot and recovery partition but ignoring it so you can install TWRP and custom ROMs.

I can say up to ZV6 only but as long as no one test I can't say for sure.. I still can't say if the anti rollback means qfuse because in my tests I was able to flash an anti rollback of 2 which can also be device model specific behavior btw..

I have an LS991 on anti rollback v3 I think, or whatever corresponds to ZVB. So I think that's too late, and the only way to test is if you have ZVA or earlier, is that right?

The OP says it won't work on ARB>=3.
But when I checked at the link, it uses different terminology, like v1, v2, v3. I'm guessing but is ARB equivalent to v?

ZVI has ARB 4. No chance (yet). There is a little chance but this requires I can get SALT work in download mode for MM ROMs which is nothing which will happen soon.

I recently got this phone repaired from LG and I just got it back, only problem is that I can't root this device no thanks to that recent system update used to fixed my phone. I tried towelroot that obviously didn't work, so I tried purpledrake that didn't work when the phone went to recovery All I saw was a blank black image that's it, and up top of that my Google play music app keeps silently closing out especially when I turn the screen off, can't really play too many games especially Asphalt airborne it force closes, and when I try to move my apps to the SD card most of the time it doesn't even work........ Please help with this!! Please I'm losing my mind over this man.
Same
Im having the same problem! It sucks butt!!
Waiting for a new method, i've tried all known ones with no luck, towelroot, towelpieroot, root master, stump root, z4, purpledrake, weak sauce and so on, no luck seems all known exploits have been patched, the only thing you can do at the moment is downgrade to d41510c the root like always, would do it my self as there were no major changes in the update but waiting to get access to a pc.
Edit: sorry the only method i mention i haven't tried is purpledrake as you need a pc for it but so far eveyone has said it doesn't work.

The only method at the moment is use the lg flash tool and downgrade to d41510c then root with towelroot as usual, on d41510e currently there is no method, the whole update was an exploit fix and pretty much thats all it did for us was fix any known exploits we use. I've been following threads for other devices because they have bounties for an exploit and root method but they're still working at it, alot of the samsung devices got locked up as well. A major change in android L which they got was major exploit fixes, pretty sure that where this whole lg update idea cane from, just we didnt get android 5.0.
Same goes for nexus devices which got the update first, currently they have to root by flashing a modified kernel. I follow the verizon note 4 thread, they have a bounty for an exploit and root method, hope it may help us. Chances are it may not though.
Also nexus and some note 4s use the cf-auto-root method which auto matically flashes and roots for them, that method is device spacific to file needed to download to use it, and requires a pc.

There's places posted to get the correct one in the threads here just can't find it right off hand. There should be a couple posts about it if you go to the LG Optimus l90 support Web page you'll get the d41510e which is the incorrect one.

Just went to the library to see if I can do it my self, wasn't sure because of public computers security if I could, since I have to install drivers and etc it may not let me but was going to give it shot, my luck they're closed, wondering if any one knows if I'll have any luck with that or will the computers security not allow me.

Yes works for t-mobile, have t-mobile my s elf but no cant upgrade again, until some one releases a rooted version of v0e have to stay on v10c. Heres a method to get knock code while still on v10c. That is really the only change between the to besides the root patch fixes.
They have released the source for d410 so hopefully we should be looking at a lollipop upgrade for d415 some time in the future, hoping sooner than later. Till then i wouldnt worry about the upgrade to v10e.

Depend which kdz, uf you use the v10e kdz you cant root. Have to use the v10c kdz to root. Knock on code is a new lock screen method implemented in the v10e update, its not necessary just a mod put together for people who want it while staying on v10c so they can root. It alot like tap to wake you use a series of taps, 4 to 8 in a square box thats devided into 4 sections, i prefer it because unlike other lock screen methods you can use it while screen is off like double tap and it just opens to yur home screen. I alsi think its more secure than some other methods.

If your bootloader is not already unlocked (which is the case for the L90s with the most recent update apparently), after rooting, follow the information found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-t-mobile-l90-t2836457
Make sure you follow the steps explicitly.

Why do you need a unlocked bootloader? I didn't install TWRP because I just wanted some modifications.... but I'm sure there's twrp for this device!
Enjoy!!
The only real reason to unlock the bootloader and install cwm or twrp is to have a full backup...just in case. Also,for when they start making more ROMs for this device.

I built this ROM as a test for those who have locked bootloaders on the Tab S and can't get root.
In my experience Samsung bootloader locked devices will not allow a custom kernel or recovery to be installed. However it is possible that the bootloader will allow a modified rom to be installed.
The rom is bone stock Lollipop 5.0.2 except it is pre-rooted with SuperSU 2.49. It needs to be installed via ODIN. If ODIN allows it to flash then its highly likely it will boot just fine.
If there are any issues that arise then all that is required is to flash the stock firmware, available here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T707V/
T707VVRS1BOK1_preroot_system.img.tar
If anyone gives this a shot, please report with details.

If it works for the T707v then I'll do the same for the other Bootloader locked devices. It all depends on whether ODIN will flash it or not.
The reason I have used the T707v is because this device at least has the stock firmware available, so it should be relatively safe to try this.
Not many wanting a rooted t707v then.

It's just that the S5 and Tab S are so similar in so many ways and were release at the same time on VZW, that I thought they'd have the same locks.

What do you mean you ran it and did nothing at all? It doesn't unlock the bootloader.
Its the stock OS already rooted.

It could be something else causing the bug, which you might be able to disable before setup proceeds.
Try turning off everything else you don't need. Personally I had problems with the following when I was installing MellowMallow - to my knowledge everyone who didn't do this is now running a broken version of mallowmushroom because they accepted the auto-update LG utilities which breaks the ability to check the status of your apps under settings:
"Note: after installation, the phone will try to auto-update its own LG setup and other apps. But the updated LG Setup won't work properly. So turn off the auto update under settings --> about phone --> update center --> turn off the settings for auto update (frequency none)."
Maybe there is a similar service or setting you can disable after doing a factory reset, that will help avoid that bug you mention?

Thanks for your reply ... I dont know if its the same process but I already disabled some apps using guides to get into setup menus, but the most important app (Setup Wizard) cant be disabled cause im on MM 6.0 ZVD stock rom and all recent security patches blocked all the possibilities to skip that screen.

My method should just work fine with a ls991. Issues currently happen for other variants but afaik it would just work for you. After this you can root MM, install custom ROMs (if there were any for your variant), TWRP, ...
No guarantees for anything - as usual
If you wanna test come to IRC on Monday to Friday and i can guide you through.

You´re welcome to all of you using the image I uploaded :good:
It would be great if y´all hit the THANKS button too you know? @TheMadScientist420 we still got hope with the G4 with this new method made by @steadfasterX
Mine bootloops every now and then and I resurrect it using a Heat gun so I´m willing to try anything that can get me to use custom roms on it or leave it to completely die hard bricked.

Hopefully now that we got our own set of threads, someone will find root....
Any root methods posted for the SM-J327T will also work for the SM-J327T1 since they are the same exact device. But anyone from the previous thread that was under Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) please continue posting on this new thread. I have requested that a moderator move the old thread to here to avoid any confusion from new people looking for a root method for this device.
I would totally help build a rom for this device, that is once we can root it. However i don't think ill ever be purchasing another samsung again.

Same here, im going back to Motorola.
Any old unlocked phones? DeviceManagement if so pm me about them. Im stuck on metro. Not sure for how much longer though. And I don't know why they insist on locking us out of OUR phones. It is a pain, such a pain. And the reason i even got this phone is to fix my service issues. However they are just as bad.

This will trip knox and void your warranty you have been warned. Feel free to test the device with the corresponding file. it may work it may not. if it does not work it will say secure check fail and prevent you from booting into android or recovery. if that is the case use the stock rom file for your phone to fix it. I will compile a quick fix that will not delete all your apps in a little bit. after that i will post the files you can use so you can recover from a brick.

The bootloader is probably unlocked on that model. Apparently all international bootloaders are unlocked for Samsung.

i am not totally sure that its unlocked. our device has a exynos chipset and for some reason it is locked. but i am starting to think that samsung messed up some code so even if your flashing something knox wont trip for some reason. but if anyone has the money feel free to test the international version that will be the only way to know for sure.

Was the file you posted, any progress, or are you just snooping around?
So, couple months ago AT&T released an update (in January 2020) which I saw a significantly improved battery life by 25% I was planing to disable my updates for future updates because I really liked it! However, 2 weeks later one day i wake up and my phone forced a new update and the battery life got back to the same even worse that what it used to be before that first update! Now, I am looking to downgrade my update to (N950USQU7DTA3) to be specific. I cant seem to find the file. Is there a source to find it? Also, Its been years since I've done this. Is there a way you guys recommend doing it without causing any issues?
Thanks!
At&t does not post firmware. Just flash any US firmware it's all the same. It will provision to your At&t sim

@kamycrs
Please don't post questions in the development section. I have asked a moderator to move it to the correct Q&A section, please bare this in mind for any future posts.
Do you know how I can find and flash that specific one? N950USQU7DTA3? or to find which would be the most identical?
The search function is an amazing thing...But I will do it for ya...Sammobile or Frija[emoji16][emoji106]

Well when Elliwigy and Jrkruse give information you can bet its spot on. And MrMike has been around for quite awhile. Just try to take the advice given and understand none of these guys will lead you down the wrong path. Good luck and hopefully you will find something that works out for you[emoji106]
