Hello there, I'm perm rooted with cwm.
I want to get the new baseband only(excluding the new leak/fake ota whatever you want to call it. Getting a new baseband does that mean my device will restore back to unroot?).
How do I do that? Can someone help me out, please?
there is absolutely no way to get the new baseband without getting the recent gb update. you could always update, then flash whatever rom you want,or go back to stock froyo. and you will retain the newer baseband.
By doing so, I supposed I need to use the LGupdate tool? I read somewhere I can't use oneclick root once upgrade to the new leak with the new baseband. Is that true?

correct. but there is a rooted version,unmodified, of the recent update. it does not contain the baseband however.
I want the baseband and I would also want the ability to install CMW to install other roms. I'm a little confused here. Once I upgraded to the new leak, that will undo my perm root and I won't be able to install other roms right(since there is no way to root the device right now? Therefoer I won't be able to install CMW)

once you install the new update, you use one click flasher app or nvflash(both in dev section) to flash cwm. then you can install any rom you want. and regain root.
Ah, thanks for the clarification. Apprecaited.
Is this just a LG thing? I know with HTC phones, you can flash different basebands.

the baseband is included in the rom. or, it's installed separately while using the lgupdate tool. until someone figures out how to get the baseband separately, you're stuck with the baseband you have.
I have a question to go along with this, do I need to install stock bootloader, unroot and go back to stock before I use the lg updater?
Yes you do. But I don't know if you want to give this a try....half dozens of phones are bricked now...My replacement is on the way...

This is a little confusing now. If upgrading the new ROM/Baseband with LG Updater (and it does not brick the phone like mine), if root is lost and one-click root cannot unroot it (???), then he will not be able to do anything line flashing CMW and ROM.s.
I thought that those that did the LG Update could re-root their device though.

The LG updater provides GB 2.3.3 with the July 15th Baseband. It also removes CWM and Root from any phone. There is no way to root, i.e. Gingerbreak or Super One Click to regain root (VIA THOSE METHODS!!!!).
However, once updated you can Flash CWM via the NVFlash method. Once you have successfully installed CWM you will have the ability to flash Rom and backup and restore Nandroid. Therefore, you can install a Rom with Root and regain root.

I was not aware that NVflasher would work on unrooted device - cool.
It is moot for me however, as my phone was irrecoverably bricked (fatal error - cannot complete upgrade...), and no way I will let the LG Updated near the replacement device.

YES, YES, a million times YES. Some people claim to have done it with clockwork recovery installed, but the VAST majority of people who "bricked" their phones used the LG tool with a non-stock recovery.
Basically:
1) Make a nandroid backup.
2) Revert to 100% stock (recovery and ROM)
3) Use LG tool to update to 2.3.3 and also get new baseband
4) Use on-click flasher to get cwm recovery back on phone
5) Restore nandroid backup.
Does anybody know if the LGUpdater is carrier-specific?

Yes, in the updater there is a dropdown box to select country and language. Since the Wind Mobile unit is a P999DW you could probably tell it USA and get the TMO update, but then you have some TMO bloat. I would wait for the Wind Mobile update, which I suspect should be coming soon. If the updater starts up with lots of "????????" then it is set for Korea and Korean. Use the first selection in the third drop down lost to get into the Country and Language selection screen. After you select your language, the ??????? will go away. If that doesn't work then you would need to use the KDZ update launcher on a Windows XP machine (unbrick method but works on non-bricked units also).

Thanks for the reply. I've already flashed CM7 over the Froyo that comes with it, and I am seriously thinking about downgrading it to Froyo again using maybe EaglesBlood, since I believe it solves the A2DP issues.
Good thing I did a nandroid backup of my stock Froyo, since if WIND ever releases this update, I'm going to do it through this LG updater, am I correct?

Yes, since Wind is an official supplier, most likely there will be an OTA update and/or the LG updater should be able to update their ROM when the update becomes available; but your phone must be completely stock for an OTA update or to use the LG Updater. Part of the udpate process calculates an MD5 on every file in the original ROM. If any of them have been changed or deleted the update will be refused to you.

New official version stock English rom for UK v2.51.1 released.
DOWNLOAD: Defy Rom v2.51.1
thanks, but where can we find the changelog of this new rom ?
Great! Will give it a try.
might try this tomorrow, although I can't see it being anything major, at the end of the day its not been push OTA as an update yet. I just tried the supposedly "no blur" firmware too and there was still loads of blur on it!
it is unrootable for the moiment.
Are z4root (or other rooting methods) and tenfar's recovery working with this ROM? 'Cause someone in another topic said, that he flashed this ROM, and now he can't flash back anything older than this. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10023019&postcount=7)
And stuck with this ROM, without root and recovery, would be a huge pain in the *ss.

i don´t know, but i have the "deblured" 2.34.1 firm rooted with z4root and with the clockwork recovery working
Thanks, have installed and its a nice improvement.
Not a giant leep but more of a polish. I must be one of the few people that likes the email client in motoblur.
i aint going anywhere near this it its not rootable then - there nothing wrong with 2.21 imo. And I like the blur email app too lol
If this rom isn't rootable, doesn't that mean that the guys at motorola "fixed" the exploit, that we used, to get root access (and because of that, we need to find another exploit)?
the problem is that you can not flash any older than this and without root you can not flash custom recovery and can not restore nand backup.
if you flash older the phone wont boot.
Yep now unable get root access. Oh well
im stuck on this UK rom too! im not giving up so easy though... just need root and we are good.

see what they did is baited you in with "noblur" and now your stuck without root!
I bought my S3 used and it was already unlocked but from what I can tell still had the stock ROM (base version says it is I535VRLF2 but DEVICE STATUS says it is modified). When it powers up, I do not get a CWM or TWMP screen -- it goes directly to the normal startup so I am not sure what the previous owner loaded/did. I do not see any folders in the root folder (using ES FIle Explorer) for CWM and nothing in DATA/BACKUP (EDIT: just saw build number is VRALG7)...
Today I got a notice about an OTA upgrade (to HE) and got help on how to freeze it (as I did not want to lose root and all the customization I did to some files) but now I am wondering what changes were made from F2 to HE. I did find a post that talks about the HE upgrade.
Was F2 the previous OTA for the S3, or did my phone miss other OTAs? And if so, I am missing out on some important changes where I should let the OTA happen and then go and unlock the phone again? I read a number of threads about 'the new radio' which I assume is software to improve the phone or WIFI. Am I missing out?
Thanks

I don't think you are missing out on anything to be honest. I did update mine and reroot without any issues, but can't really tell a difference. I would still do it so I can have the latest update on my phone since this one doesn't lock anything that we can't get back into.

There has been only three official releases, F2,G7,and HE. Since you are at G7 I would go ahead and OTA HE. Latest ROMS are based off of it plus you will have all the latest firmware and modem.

Thanks for the reply. Will that break either my root or unlock (actually, I am not sure what state this phone is at since I did not do it -- I do find SuperSU in APPS, and have granted SuperUser to programs like Titanium Pro but there is nothing for CWM or other ROM managers...)?

If you did an OTA to get to G7 your root is probably gone. You said you have Titanium installed, try to use it. If not rooted it won't work and will advise you so. If this is the case do the OTA to HE and then you will be up to date stock ROM wise.

No, sorry, I must not have explained it correctly. Titanium Pro, ES File Explorer, etc works fine, and I can edit/delete/freeze, etc no problem. So it is still rooted (or unlocked, I can figure out which is which). I would update to HE but only if it did not mess up what I have....

Ok I understand now. Root and unlocked are two different things. You can flash an HE ROM and not lose your root. Unlock in your case I think you are referring to the bootloader. It will have to be unlocked prior to flashing custom ROMS. Get an app called EZ Unlock from the Playstore and it will unlock bootloader for you if it's not unlocked already.
I recommend CleanROM 3.1 if you decide to flash. Hope this has helped you some.
I'm trying to revert back to custom because i lost my IMEI but the process I was following required me to flash "VRALF bootchain" 2x and then flash "HE package" but i dont know where to get the HE package and i tried flashing root66 and VRALHD but they both failed can someone help me?

I am not interested in loading any custom ROMs (although I am hoping we get the official JB soon). The only thing that is of interest to me is to be able to run certain programs that require superuser access (e.g. Titanium Pro) and to be able to edit and delete files in the root directory. So I assume all I need is root, and I don't want any OTA updates to take that away (or overwrite files that I have modified or edited that deal with the OS). Maybe that is why I cannot find any reference to CWM -- the previous owner only rooted it but did not unlock it....

Got just the thing for you. First test to make sure you have newest CWM. Power down, Hold volume up,home button,and lock button at same time until phone flashes twice then release. This will put you in recovery and you can see what version you have. The latest is 6.0.1.2. If not you can find newest version or a touch version right here at XDA. Then if you want just a rooted HE version here you go.

Or you can download GooManager and flash TWRP for a more user friendly touch recovery. :laugh:
And flash the same rom from Scott.

OK. I have 6.0.0.8 right now. I am surprised it was there, as with my Nexus and my TP on a cold boot it would show CWM at startup. And there would be folders in the root directory (/CWM). But yes, I have CMW.
And OK on now being able to download and install a rooted HE. But most are saying it either does nothing or makes the phone run a little hotter, so unless I see a pressing need, I will just stay with what I have.

I had tried TWRP with my HP TP and although it has a nice interface, one time, on loading a new nightly, it TOTALLY messed up my TP. I thought it was bricked. I ended up having to do a complete restore back to WebOS using WebDoctor and a lot of what I thought was code-level input via the PC trying to bring it back to life. Since then, I have only used CWM.
Thanks for the input though!

It is personal choice. I have not had any problems with it and have been running since device was released for pre-order. I run whatever recovery seems to be most stable for the device. CWM for Tbolt. Amon Ra for Rezound. And now TWRP for S3. Have seen more bricks and failed flashes contributed to CWM so I stick with TWRP.

The OTA installed with a custom recovery installed? Interesting. Usually OTA's fail if anything but stock recovery is installed. I only lost root but restored root with OTA Rootkeeper with stock recovery. Good to know that custom recovery can be installed and still get OTAs!

Hey all,
A while back I rooted my LG G3 (great phone btw) and and I have, what I thought I have anyways, unrooted it through SuperSU due to my phone not being able to OTA update with an accompanying error message of not being able be updated while rooted.
I have just read about Lollipop finally being rolled out to U.S Android phones (finally)
Can anybody tell me how to update that doesn't require losing all of the stuff on my phone, or if I can make changes to the system files to make it recognizable that it isnt rooted, I read threads that this is a cause.
---I have tried using Lg Update Mobile tool or whatever its called, and tried LG PC Suite to look for an update, but it says its already up to date)
Please help?

Back up your data to your computer or ext sd card. The apps you can reinstall later. I know there was an app but I can't remember now. Titanium back up it's only good with root and lollipop does not have root yet.

I use MyBackup Pro.
There's a free version also on the Play Store and it doesn't require root. It won't work as good as it could if the phone was rooted but it's a win in this situation. I sometimes even use it instead of Titanium on my KitKat roms.

With the update coming sometime in the near future, what does that mean for us with rooted phones? More specifically, us losers who are on the Puerto Rican rom.
I imagine if we update we lose root, but is there any way we can get back on the American AT&T H810 after the update comes out?
I just got the phone from Craig's list. When I got home and I did more research I realized I got screwed. They sold me the PR version of the phone. At least I got it for 280 unlocked and no scratches almost new.

Yikes sorry! Do you have the green spot issue in the camera? It's a decent rom save for that issue. Allows you to get rid of everything (bloatware). I've been dying to add xposed, but without being able to back anything up makes it a little iffy. AT&T seems to be the worst when it comes to allowing their devices to be unlocked.

If LG releases a KDZ for ATT you can. However, even those of us who are on att firmware can't take OTA updates after rooting (even if flashing an unrooted system img). LGs root checker tool flags the system on the /persist partition
This means that you will have to UN-Root your phone. Download & install the update. Put your phone into download mode. DD if=OS of=Backup.img
Then root that backup (Or get it from someone who posted it on an XDA Root site)
Once it is rooted, then DD if=RootedOS of=OS (Disk dump it back to the phone)
Now you have a rooted Marshmellow OS on your phone.

this is false. i was rooted on 10g, i unrooted and flashed stock system.img and took the update to 10o just fine.
you need to do a few things to prepare first
1) unfreeze any apps you may have frozen with debloater/titanium/greenify/etc
2) disable and uninstall any xposed modules
3) uninstall xposed (if you have it)
4) uninstall flashfire (if you have it)
5) uninstall any root apps (aside from supersu)
6) open supersu, uncheck "enable superuser" and then select full unroot, than reboot
7) download and flash the stock system.img for whatever firmware you are currently rooted on
8) now your unrooted and you may update via ota
this thread will help for flashing, just make sure you use the stock version of your current firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586

I did the H81010g root a while back. Is there a way for me to get on the O update, preferably rooted?

easily done, check my post above. after you take the ota to 10o you will just need to root that basically the same way you did with 10g

I completed those steps, however right at 4% still getting error 0x1123004.
I re-rooted just to make sure everything was unfrozen etc, uninstalled everything, then flashed unrooted image back, still giving the error.
Guess i'll have to wait for another method.

i went from 10g to 10o so that could explain why i didnt have a problem
This guide is to help out the people who are rooted to know exactly what to do if you get an OTA notification so that there are no errors.
This guide will only work for the Systemless rooting. Guide here
The basic things for achieving OTA after rooting can be found here
Basic things to keep in mind if:
1. Still on soak - Follow this guide and come back to marshmallow and then you should be able to take the OTA.
2. If you are on Stock and rooted - Make a nandroid backup and then the next step is pretty simple, go to SuperSU app and click on the option Full Unroot and click on yes and then again yes and wait for the Phone to reboot. Once it starts back wait for the optimization of the Apps and then download the OTA and then install it. Make sure it is the Stock recovery through which you flash the OTA.
It should go through Smoothly. I have done it twice. Since Nougat doesn't support any known root method yet, so keeping a titanium backup before unrooting is preferred so that as soon as it supports root u can restore all of it back.
Happy updating!
I personally won't install N until we have a rooting method. Because there is no "coming back" if root doesn't materialize.

That's true! But it'll be just a matter of time before we get it!

I know that works perfectly right now, the only reason i made the tutorial on how to downgrade is because we had the same scenario for Moto g 1st gen. People got used to downgrading using the normal method, what they didnt realize was that the bootloader and gpt were not being flashed and they showed failed when you did that for the official firmware. But after a month tons of Moto g 1st gens got hard bricked because of that. Anyone who tried to downgrade from modified stock or custom rom based on Lollipop (At that time) Got their phone hard bricked. It's the same for Nougat also and is same for All cross android versions after Kitkat.
With every new update they release a new partition table and a new bootloader . The new bootloader doesnt allow you to flash the previous bootloaders over it and same for partition but for some varients of the phone the warning is not there and the older bootloader is flashed resulting in a hard brick. This is also true for Custom roms based on the official firmware (which will come) and devices in which a custom kernel has been flashed.
I am not saying trust me, i am just saying be careful .
^ That's what I meant when I said "no coming back". You are stuck with a N bootloader and a MM firmware. Might work fine, might not.
Quick question
I have a XT1643
On stock rooted rom with elemental kernel.
Got an update notification yesterday.
I flashed the stock boot.img I found on the forum but the wifi is not working after flashing that.
what do I need to do in order to get it working and get the update?
Thanks

I agree with you on this. I am stuck with an N Bootloader and and MM firmware.
I can upgrade to an N ROM but I get FP issues (cosmetic, but still not desirable)
I cannot take an official OTA anymore because even if I downgrade to stock, I still have an N Bootloader which prevents me from taking OTA.
Unless we get a stock N rom, I guess we are stuck with this setup.

Everything needs to be on stock! Stock boot, recovery, logo, kernel etc. then it works ! any modifications will lead to an error!
