My dad is really pissed off. He updated his cricket version, and it removed all of his favorite things. I am decent with android and I was wondering if soemone could give me the firmware from about august 2013 for this phone. Also, what is the easiest to follow root guide? I have the epic 4g touch and I have rooted, and custom kernel. I don't wanna **** up his phone. Please help me .
To root is easy, you only have to make sure, to use the latest TWRP recovery and SuperSU (instead of Superuser). You'll find links to both in my index thread.

As the title says, I have the Samsung Galaxy SII Sprint's variation. I rooted my phone when it was on the version before Gingerbread EL29. I used the SuperOneClick method to root my phone and after doing that, 'Superuser' was installed on my phone. Everything was going fine until I accidentally updated my phone to Gingerbread 2.3.6 EL29 via Sprint's over-the-air update. I know it sounds dumb from me but I really knew that if I updated my phone I could mess up my root privileges, but that pop up update was showing up each 5 minutes, that in one of them I accidentally pressed 'install'. Now I have tried to unroot my phone with SuperOneClick but 'Superuser' is still there and when I access an app that requires root privileges like 'Wireless Tether' it says that my phone is not rooted. I also tried to do a factory reset and root again with 'SuperOneClick' but it freezes up (I guess it's because 'Superuser' is still there?) I was also thinking on installing a rooted rom but I don't know if I can install custom roms (I don't know if I have CWM and if it will mess up because I'm not rooted?..) Right now I just want to get the latest rooted stable release possible.. Sorry for extending myself but I wanted to give all the important details as possible as I am new in handling root phones and also in this forum. I will appreciate any help, thanks!

hello all i have the old 4.1 bootloader still on my tf300t. i have been hesitant to update to new bootloader. as i had no issues with cm10.1. well now as of the past month seems cm10.1 update to new bootloader. plus i see another update is out. i wanna get this thing up to date as far as root goes. but i dont see a definitive sticky on how to do this. can anyone point me in to one thread with all the info i seek.
Sup, kaos?
I think that the best solution would be to download the official release, unzip once, then flash in recovery. You then need to root it again, or use Voodoo Rootkeeper to get SU access.
Of course, you must be careful when searching for the correct recovery. I bricked my tab that way, but managed to restore it through another thread.

ya im hating that cm kinda forced us to update i guess ill have to collect info and get around to it. its a shame .
Ok so I am kind of a noob at androids and I just started learning some interesting stuff. Anyways I managed to unlock my boatloader, root my phone, and flash the cyanogen 10.2 rom. I was enjoying my changes until one day I made a big mistake, i accidentally downloaded chainfire's superSU from the app store. I guess this interfered with cyanogen mod's native root. So i realized my accident and deleted it, only one problem, it took my root access with it. I have tried many ways to regain root but I simply can't. Would someone please help me, any help would be appreciated. Also i am running android 4.3 and my build number is xt897.

Wait I got it i had to flash to stock rom and reroot. But now I can't flash cyanogenmod.10.2
ok lets get this out ot the way i have a lg volt wich is updated to the zv4, ive read other threads on how to root.
so far i see that it must be flashed back to the old stock rom to root, my issues are as follows.
1: would prefer not to flash unless installing cyanogenmod or simular rom.
2: have seen issues mentioned with radio(cellular reciver) after flashing mentioned.
for a guy who has flashed a update on 2 phones after roothing and has rooted 5 previous devices i can say this is the first root process that actualy worries me.
im looking at the programs below free and paid.
oneclick root
rootgenuis
and this wich was on androidforums link below working no flash one click root according to the post.

Hello everyone i am new to the forums and i am asking a question regarding updating the su binaries on my phone. I got my g2 back in november because they were out of one m7s and this was the second best phone. So i went home and figured id root it. I didnt really want a rom i just like being able to record my screen and mess with the clocks. So none of the ways to root this phone worked so i tired this one in chinese. I succesfully rooted my phon. And it installed supersu. It said i needed to update the binaries so i hit ok. It said it failed. I tried updateing them by moving the .su directly to the folder, but sense i dont even have root permissions because i dint have a .su, it was unsuccessful. So what are my options? Im only 14 and kinda new at rooting, i have done it on two phones before, so please keep it simple. I dont care about keeping my data so i can i flash a stock rom? I. Tried it before but the method was for the 16 gig version which used a kdz file and sense i have a 32 gig version i needed a different file for some reason. In my phone settings it says im rooted and in recovery mode it o whatever pressing vol down and power with a usb connected do does, it says so to. I do NOT have access and i cant figure out how to update the .su and i could really use some help. Could you give me a link or something showing me how to flash a stock rom, or cyanogenmod? Or just getting a way to update the .su would be fine. Sorry for the long description i just want it to be easy for you to diagnose my problem.
Thanks,
Riley

You can check this thread about root on your device: [Root] Stump Root for LG Devices (2012 - 2014) Big update 1.2.0.
And here is the SuperSu app thread: [STABLE][2015.01.20] SuperSU v2.45.
In the first post there is also a zip file for flashing in custom recovery. If you use this, you won't need the binaries updating process like after updating via Play store.
For registered users, there is more help in the root Q&A thread for your device, and for the SuperSU app update in the SuperSU support thread.
Thread closed. Thank you.
