You should be fine, Odin supports any version of windows after XP and Samsung's mobile device drivers should support Windows 7 as well, once you enable OEM unlock in settings (assuming you have had the phone on for over 7 days) flash TWRP via Odin and from there you can boot into TWRP on your phone and flash Magisk for root.
So that it would be okay to use Max Lee's version of root which I believe he got from Dr Keaton's, XDA's version . By the way thank you
Well I got everything installed my driver's everything is working I get the pass and Odin but I can't get it to go into TWRP I've tried holding volume up bixby and the power button simultaneously and I get nothing I've tried holding up volume and bixby the screen won't go blank so then I can press the power button so I'll tried both ways and I got nothing, as far as getting into TWRP can anyone help I have got it to pass just no TWRP recovery

You should not be doing ANY of this if you cannot get any further than that. You posted your root question in at least three new threads, but there are hundreds of threads with your answers. If you need your hand held, you should just stop right now before you break your phone. Then how will you fix it?
If you had that much to say should have answered the question again instead of wasting your breath, point me to where I could have found the answer. Plus I followed all the directions that was giving me to the extent of what I found this is why I asked was I missing something, so please try complimenting your fellow enthusiasts and please be more courteous and understanding.
Now is this is this a step that I was missing---
10.Disconnect device and hold Vol down + power till screen goes off, Now immediately press Vol Up + Bixby + Power to reboot to TWRP
11.Select to allow modification
12.From TWRP, Select WIPE menu - Then FORMAT DATA - You need to type 'yes' to perform wipe. WARNING : This will erase all data including Int SD storage from device
13.Once format device completes, go back and select REBOOT' Menu and then - 'RECOVERY', This will reboot to TWRP again
14.Now select Install and navigate path to Ext SD card
Much praise and thanks to Dr. Ketan.
But as for the other Cyber Bully all you had to do was help point me in the right direction instead of trying to crush an ambitious spirit... This form is supposed to be inclusive instead of ex-clusive... By the way I am now using a Windows 10 thank you XDA.

What a snowflake!
I won't root my Note9, so I don't have the answers for you, however I have seen these answers posted all over the Note9 forums. Rooting successfully is not something that anyone will hold your hand through when there are directions in other threads. Go to those threads, READ, then ask specific questions there. Asking "can I root my phone", multiple times, in new threads, in a forum full of directions on how to root specific devices, is possibly one of the most annoying things you can do. Kids today. They don't do homework anymore.
If I need a clown I rent one if the same questions been asked over and over again that should be relatively simple for you to answer instead of your reverse rhetoric that gets nobody anywhere. If you read my post with sincere enthusiasm it was a very specific question I asked. This is an inclusive forum and not exclusive so mind your manners, answer the question and move on if you can't keep your notes to yourself... And in answer to my own question was after I Passed I needed to unplug the device and then proceed into TWRP. So how was that silly rabbit...Clown.
However this is the step that I was missing---
10.Disconnect device and hold Vol down + power till screen goes off, Now immediately press Vol Up + Bixby + Power to reboot to TWRP
11.Select to allow modification
12.From TWRP, Select WIPE menu - Then FORMAT DATA - You need to type 'yes' to perform wipe. WARNING : This will erase all data including Int SD storage from device
13.Once format device completes, go back and select REBOOT' Menu and then - 'RECOVERY', This will reboot to TWRP again
14.Now select Install and navigate path to Ext SD card

But as for the other Cyber Bully all you had to do was help point me in the right direction instead of trying to Clown me... Cyber Sissy's I bet you cross your legs like a woman...
U- Cyber Sissy's
ROOTED, no brick, no bootloop, just... ROOTED!!!!
Heh! Silly kid! glad you did your homework! It was probably a good learning experience for you too!
Yeah I'm also glad you got something from this too, this forum is excellent for helping people and you have the knowledge to do it, so don't discourage enthusiastic Rooters... So thank you and keep up the good work.

I did figure out how to root it but where i found it on here should mention to flash the bootloader cause you will get a security error if ya didnt i primarily use root for my wifi tethering when i need it
So there's no other way to root without flashing a bootloader and another rom? I really don't want to get into that anymore.
Same here.
Just want to stay with the stock v30p after rooting.
It will be great if tjat can be done

doesnt anyone know of another method, i was on that page last night for 4 hours trying to get it to work without any luck, updated drivers, was able to get phone to boot into fast mode, but whenever i tried to install the boot loader it would always just chill on waiting for device. few ppl said to unplug and replug, or manually put into fast boot but nothing worked for me, couldnt get it to install bootloader.
ok ive figured it out. I really hate when they dont post all the steps and cause so much chaos, this is what worked for me.
1.follow the links on post listed above,
2.install the flash program as admin on pc
3.with battery out plug in while device manager is open and right click on the driver that comes up and update it with the driver in hacker file
usb_drv_windows, a box will come up say install anyways.
4.reboot computer with phone unplugged then reopen device manager
5.run allinonep90.bat file, hit any button then when asked to wait 5 seconds put battery back into phone. the next page will pop up with a list of
options, select ICS bootload.er, i think it was 8 or 9 and click enter. it will say waiting for device.
6.now go back to device manager and there should be another problem driver cosmo, right click and install the same drivers as step 3, once
complete hacker will auto find it and install bootloader.
7.next step select option 6 for GB recovery. apparently ics recovery on this is for a custom rom. when its done reboot and put the ziped su_bbox
zipped file on your sd card and turn off phone by holding power untill its off.
8. while off hold volume down then hit power until it vibrates, may have to do a few times before it vibrates then release power button while still
holding volume down. when the silver lg logo comes up release volume down. and phone will boot into recovery.
9.from here navigate to where the zip file is and install, after it does it will reboot and you will now be rooted.
hope this helps ive seen sooooo many posts with ppl having same problem as me and no one posting accurate guides.

Got me through a good bit here, but I'm at the point where I can't boot into recovery. The phone loads just fine otherwise, but I can not for the LIFE of me get into recovery mode (to flash SU_BBOX). I've tried "Vol-Down + PWR", "Vol-down + 3D + PWR"... etc etc etc... I've practically tried every which way and button combination, but still nothing. What am I missing? Yes, I DID use the tool to flash a recovery. Also, when I try to shut the phone down, it won't stay off. It turns off for a few seconds, then boots itself back up. What have I DONE???

thats a bug with the bootloader, turn phone on and then hold the power button for like 8 seconds to turn it off, not t hrew the menu.
once its off hold vol down then press power button. and hold for about 4 seconds, if it doesnt vibrate to turn off, release all and repeat untill it does. it takes me about 2-3 times befor it vibrates to turn on. after the let go of power until grey lg screen, you will notice writing in the top left corner, then let go of volume button.
Help me.

Can't figure out how to root this device
I have been trying for a long time to root my LG Thrill with ICS 4.0.4, but I am having trouble. I've tried countless times to root the device and followed the instructions precisely from the previous posts. I have also looked at other threads and can't find anything that helps. It would be greatly appreciated if somebody helped me out in rooting my device because a lot of the previous posts are slightly outdated. Maybe there is another method to rooting this device? All help is appreciated
The solution
i rooted mine with this http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-root-lg-thrill-4g-with-android-4-0-ics.html
i recommend the second process. its much easier. Then i installed this rom. Its great!. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392309
I decided to try the the rom provided by Null, but I can not get into recovery mode for my life.Held power button, but pressing it again 5 after power off screen, does nothing.
It will either open svoice or back to clock.....
Just a note, I tried rooting yesterday and did all the steps but explorer never gives me the option to have access to everything, so probably, not rooted yet. Don't know why.
I just got the gear yesterday and been playing with it.
Used an older version of manager and got it to connect to my S4 for now with limited functionality....
So I don't know if I am missing anything, if it's region specific or what, any help would be appreciated..
Any other way to get o recovery mode for now ?
UPDATE : DONE! not as simple as guide, thanks to someone that posted detailed instructions I did it. Thanks

sorry, was answered in the other thread, never thought to paste it here...There you go : (from another guy that posted the help)
"Step 1ress and hold power button for 2 secs
Step 2:Tap restart
Step 3:Tap ok
Step 4:Immediately hold the power (you will see the Samsung emblem with a blue halo)
Step 5:Release the power button when you see the Samsung Galaxy Gear with "rebooting" underneath
Step 6:Immediately rapidly press the power button 5-12 times until the next screen appears "Select boot mode"
Step 7ress power button once to change to Download.
Step 8ress and hold the power button on desired selection to choose and enter the selected mode
"

Hi,
I'm new to this forum and I have such a basic question people would laugh to hear. I keep reading and hearing "Xperia SP entering recovery mode" or something. I've tried so many things, every possible way to enter recovery mode to clear data (or hard reset) my Xperia SP C5303 but it doesn't work. I've watched videos but they are not clear, I tried all the methods mentioned; e.g.
hold and press Volume Up + Volume Down + Power button until you see menu.
press and hold Volume Down. --> press and release Power button.
these are mentioned in hardreset.info, but my phone does not enter recovery mode, instead, it just restarts the phone normally. I need to know whether it's even possible to enter recovery mode, and if so, what's the correct way. I tried power button, volume buttons, all combination and everything that is mentioned on the internet. I don't want to do it with Sony Companion.
After that I'll need to install CM13 to it, my build number is 12.1.A.1.205 and I expect that I can install Marshmallow or Lollipop on it, please guide me to it.
Thanks

You need to do the following:
Root,
Backup TA,
Unlock your Bootloader,
Flash Recovery,
Then Flash CM13

Thank you, still something is missing in the reply
Thank you for the response, I'll work on that "CM13 installation" as guided, but my main answer is still unanswered; i.e. how do I enter the recovery mode of Xperia SP C5303?, it's been really irritating that nothing works, my phone just restarts as it normally does. I already mentioned that I've already tried so many key combinations as described all over the internet so I'm expecting the right answer in this forum, because unlike the normal internet users, XDA is a group of serious developers.

Of course serious developers, but duplicate questions aren't fun either.
If you are following the guide linked by fellow Zenith, you will soon to realise that to access the recovery you will need to hit volume + when the LED bar lights up. If you are doing something else, please explain in detail, and i will try to assist you with it
Same goes to the TWRP thread, it is already mentioned that to access recovery, use volume +. To access ROM's standard recovery, use volume -
If you are wondering about key combination to enter recovery when the device is initially powered off, this is impossible for the Xperia SP and most Xperia devices. This is a hardware limitation.

Hello, I am a NOOB, and...
I recently rooted my lg g2, vs9803aa, using the one click root, but haven't actually flashed any roms on it. I put autorec on to flash twrp, and also had titanium backup on there i was looking at to try to back it up. I restarted the phone and it is just blank screen now. I try the hard reset and it just buzzes in my hand once and no logo appears on the screen. When i plug it into the computer it generates a bunch of local drives that need formatting, and on device manager it shows as QHSUSB_BULK. I read in other threads that it matters what rom you are using for the possible fix, but i never got as far as flashing one, or recieved an OTA.
Thoughts please?! I really don't want to get a new phone, but at the very least for now I swapped the sim to an old phone, droid 4, for temporary use.
Thanks for any input.

Hi,
Have you tried download mode? If you dunno how to, here's how :
" press power button and select “power off”. Then, press the volume up button on your LG G2. While you are holding the volume up button, plug in your phone's USB cable. Keep pressing the Volume up button until the download mode is being displayed."
After you are in download mode, follow this guide to go to stock : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
This should resolve your issue.

After you are in download mode, follow this guide to go to stock : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
This should resolve your issue.

I get no screen prompts whatsoever, it stays black. I can hold the power button for a few seconds and there will be a single pulse of vibration, nothing else. It does the same if I hold volume down and power, as well as volume up and power. I even tried all 3 at the same time, same thing.

Let me make it clear. Turn off your phone. Plug your USB on your phone and press & hold volume up button and connect the other and of the usb to your pc.
Just had the same thing happen to me. Installed recovery through autorec and then upon reboot I get a black screen and everything else mentioned above.

I figured it out, as long as you don't mind wiping the device.
I used the SRK tool 2.1 to unbrick it. Link to post
After this I could get the LG splash screen again and enter download mode.
Then I used the LG Flash Tool 2014 to flash stock firmware back onto it. I actually downgraded to kitkat with the flash tool since it easier to root that way. Link to post

With the SRK tool I unzip it but the application file doesn't transfer into new file. How did you do it?

It was there when i extracted the folder, maybe you need to re-download zip or get it from a different source. I dunno, mind you I am still a huge noob with about a weeks worth of experience trolling the how to/fix guides and no programming skills whatsoever.

Got it to work. I for some reason had to use my pc in safe mode to keep it from blocking my access to the exe file.

Maybe you need to go change a setting to show hidden files. I had to do that recently. I am using windows 7, it is in folder options.
Hello everyone, I saw a few posts on this forum about other bricked phones, but my case is different (if its not then please link me the thread, Thanks).
Story: Today I decided that my unrooted phone wasn't enough for me, so I said: "Why not root?" . I have to add that I owned a LG Magna 3G before this Huawei P8 LIte 2017 and oh boi was the rooting procedure WAY HARDER(the huawei procedure)... I did well with my LG, but not so well with my Huawei. To be honest I was almost done but because I couldnt boot into TWRP, I decided to follow a guide I cant find cause I followed so many that my History is a mess (if anyone requests I will do some digging though). The guy suggested to someone that couldnt boot into TWRP (like me) that he should falsh TWRP>relock his OEM>Shutdown>Press a combination to go into recovery mode>???>Profit. I did just that but my device is now a 180 Euro brick.
Probelm: My device bootloops. Every time I shut it down (hold power key for 10sec), it reboots and gets stuck on the famous "Your device has been locked and can't be trusted. To learn more, BLAH BLAH BLAH. Your device is booting now...
I tried several key combinations, but whatever I do, when I hold my power key for 10sec, The huawei logo pops up for a second or two and then I get stuck on this screen again...
Sadly, I seem to have no connection between my PC and my device (adb can't find any connected device).
I also want to add that, after I was promted to relock my OEM, I removed the USB cable whoopsie.
What Im looking for:
A way to regain contact between my PC (adb) and my phone
A way to shutdown my device for now (and not forever... just for the night)
Someone to tell me that he had the same issue and took the following steps (Need clear answers and steps)
Anything else whatsoever
I don't think it's necessary to provide the files I used, since the reason my device is like this is because of my own stupidity:silly:
Thank you for your time.
You have to hold Power and Volume Up button pressed to boot into erecovery, not only power, check it.

Sorry for replying after 2 hours, I didn't get a notification.
I tried:
1. Holding the buttons until I see the "your device is booting..." message
2.Holding the buttons until it vibrates
3.Holding the buttons until I see the Huawei logo
Thanks for your time anyway
You press Volume Up + Power simultaneously, when you see the Huawei logo you release Power and hold Volume Up only until it boots to erecovery.

Tried this several times, no result.
Is there a more drastic solution to my stubborn phone?

The most drastic solution is the DC Phoenix software, not for free, if i am right they ask 15€ for 72 hours.
Not going to bother with this one tho... if I am very desperate, I might try to "borrow" it, but Im gonna seek other solutions until then.
Thanks for your time
On the "your device has been unlocked" hold the Volume up button until you boot to eRecovery. From there connect to wifi and restore stock rom. Afaik, erecovery should boot on bootlooped device. Give it a try
If this doesnt work, plug in to pc, and hold volume up + power, on huawei logo leave power button and hold volume up until you get to erecovery

Hello, thanks for replying
My device is now good, only gapps are missing but I don't care too much. Here is what happened:
So, I left my phone unplugged from any power source during the night (meanwhile the screen couldn't turn off), although I swear I did this 20 times already, when I booted my device after I came back from my University, my phone booted into eRecovery... I downloaded the latest package and it seems to work just fine now, the only problem is that the gapps need to be flased via TWRP (that I don't think I have anymore, how ironic).
Thanks to all of you who cared about giving me a solution :victory: Have a fantastic day
If you want to have a complete working system, i suggest you to try to update using erecovery again. It should download full firmware with gapps etc

Well, that was what we told you to do at first time. Erecovery can bring it back to life easily. Now as you have already been told erecovery flashes the complete firmware, including gapps.
You can also try to update it through the settings menu, in the system update settings you press the three dots menu on the upper right corner and select download latest complete package.

I know you told me first but, the difference was that, my phone had to ran out of battery to do this. In the end of my last reply I said thanks to all of you who cared, including you, you cared the most actualy
