[Q] p920 debrand ?

Hi. Please could somebody help me. I have a UK model from orange. It's now unlocked but has orange bloatware. I have searched the forums for a debrand method but only found one, and that only works with win xp.
Is there any way to unbrand this phone with windows 7. Orange did not support this phone and it's still stuck on android 2.2.2.
Thanks in advance

AFAIK by installing any custom ROM your phone will be unbranded.

Have you tried updating your phone through EMERGENCY mode in LGFlashTool? Maybe you'll get stock ICS / JB because the branded ones are not made by LG?

Wow, i had no idea ? Who made them ?
How do i go about the process ? To be honest, i'm quite nervous about doing it. I've unbranded a number of phones in the past but this a tad more complicated.
I really appreciate that you have continued to be of help. Thankyou !

Could you try this?
I've done it a few times myself, with succes, and I think this is the way I've managed it.
*This asumes you've installed
Follow this on the official LG site: http://www.lg.com/uk/support-mobile/lg-LGP920 , and go to the tab "software update".
But instead of just updating your phone do this: Click on User/Support (above) then emergency mode, insert your IMEI and click on check

?
It didn't work i'm afraid. What's really odd is that the phone is on froyo 2.2.2 and the OTA update from the phone says there's no update available. Yet the lg update tool tells me an update is available yet after it has downloaded and about to 'install' it stops and says that the update cannot continue because a 'fatal error' has occured ?
Very odd. I'm guessing the orange bloatware is the problem. I HATE orange !
Edit. Ok, i just installed all the flashing tools to my pc (win 7) But when i open flash tool a window appears saying 'lg usb/parallel key is not detected. i'm also asked for a password and id ?

I downloaded everything but there was no crack included for the flashtool and no .dll file to enter into the flashtool ? it certainly looks incomplete so did not help at all.
Do i really have to keep entering an image verification everytime i need to reply on my own thread ? Seems so daft.

If it is rooted you can delete almost anything you want.

I don't quite follow ? I don't need to delete anything. I'm trying to flash the phone to an updated version of android. I have a UK orange branded p920 3D but it's on froyo 2.2.2 and won't update any further.

Funnily enough i tried your method first. The flashtool kept asking for an id and password so i could not continue. Where do i find the id and password ? that was with flashtool 1.1 running on win 7

Copy the indicated file over the original as instructed or use 1.2 if you want. You also have to run the installer before using it...It might be a good idea to run it in xp sp3 compatibility mode.

dll
The link for downloading the p920 .dll file is broken. Is it available anywhere else ?

Thanks for telling me, I'll repost it...
In the mean time you could try this. It's not my link, though

Thanks drastic00. I've downloaded the link :good:

not working
I've now tried all methods and nothing works. The furthest i have got so is to hit the yellow start button on the flash tool, but the port does not become ready. I have followed all instructions to the letter.

Recheck step 1 details carefully. Be sure antivirus and Defender are off when downloading and decompressing. It won't start until drivers are installed correctly.
You should see the devices in device manager with no 'blinking' of the omap device, and LG CDMA USB SERIAL, on which you change the port number to 41. Then you are ready to flash.
That part is fiddly.

[Q]DNA unlocking & rooting method

Hi. I am a noob at rooting. Which of your unlocking and rooting method should I use for a Verizon HTC DNA that is updated to its current version of Kit-Kat? Firewater? I just did a factory reset for a fresh start. I have not installed any "user apps." Basically it is cleaned. This is my first at rooting a phone, but I have rooted Kindle Fire once. I do know about the warranty. I would also like to know a method to unroot as well incase I want to go back for any reason. Need help as soon as possible.

Unlocking the bootloader is fully guided on HTCdev.com. You will need more steps like installing a custom recovery and a superuser app using the custom recovery. If your not sure about what to do, you can use Teamviewer and i will perform unlocking / rooting for you
This toolkit may also help you WinDroid HTC Toolkit

Let me start with, Thank you so much for your time
However, It seems like I'm unable to install the right drivers on my PC for my phone and adb doesn't detect my device (which is strange as CF-auto-root did see the device and worked fine)
I walked through multiple tutorials about installing drivers. Actually have windows detecting my phone fine (I see it in device manager) and I've reinstalled google USB drivers multiple times now, rebooting my PC and deleting drivers and reinstalling them
I've justed factory reset my phone, but that just got me to a Google logo stuck (which I read about in your link in your signature)..
Because adb doesn't detect my device I'm unable to pull build.prop... which means I feel stuck again.
Would you have a direction for me to go towards to continue my journey through Nexus5-Land?

If you're using Windows 8, 8.1 or 8.1U1 you'll need to disable driver signature enforcement.
Try flashing the factory images in fastboot?

Could somebody not just make a flashable zip with the correct build.prop?
Failing that, just reflash the ROM.

Glad you got it sorted but, unless you couldn't boot into recovery, you didn't need to go back to stock.
Flashing the correct build.prop or ROM you were using should have sorted it out, without losing any data (you would have lost any system mods if you flashed the ROM again, though).
I'm only mentioning this in case somebody else searches and finds this thread for the same problem.
I've changed the build.prop loads of times on many devices and only once it went into a bootloop. Flashing a build.prop zip sorted it.

[Q] HTC One SV won't boot into custom recovery.

I have a HTV One SV C525c. Android version 4.2.2. HTC Sense version 5.0. I've tried everything I can find to get this thing rooted. I've done the HTCDev and got the bootloader unlocked. I've flashed and tried both CWM and TWRP. I see both unlocked and tampered when I try to boot into recovery. I've followed all the steps on all the tutorials but when I get to the point that I'm supposed to boot into recovery from the HBOOT menu, it just boots normally. I even get the screen with "entering recovery" but it doesn't open recovery. It just reboots with nothing changed. I've even tried moonshine and rumrunner to change it to S-OFF but that hasn't worked either. I'm completely at a loss, as I've tried every every app and tutorial out there with no success. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me insane! Please help?!

At first, throw away this useless stuff of Rom Manager from your phone!
Then post whats written in your bootloader. Or make a picture of it.

Hooleeeeeeee F'n F. It just booted into recovery. I'm now rooted. You're my new hero! I'm poor but I made a small donation to express my gratitude. This has been driving me crazy for weeks.
Now on to getting S-OFF...

Oh man! Rumrunner worked too! S-OFF achieved!
Any advice on what to do now that my phone is freed up?

Great that it worked for you. And thanks for the donation, high appreciated!
Well it is sad that not much development is left for this phone. Take a look at my index thread, but for boost is not much available.
That said: in future check double if things work for your phone and also for boost model, because it has different partition layout than other SV models.
Whats a good start for "pimping" your phone should be xposed.
See the thread linked in my index thread, what modules work.

I've been having a lot of fun with xposed and number of different root apps. Thanks again.
What about Android 4.4 KitKat? I gather from the thread that HTC kinda screwed up and never actually released it. Are there any other custom roms or software updates out there that I should look into or am I already as good as I'm gonna get with 4.2.2?
Also, what about the 2.77 GB taking up the Other in my App storage? Anything I can do about that? I've already deleted a bunch of bloatware but it barely made a dent in freeing up space.

Because of the storage, check the forum about One SV swapper.
No rom higher than 4.2.2 available for this device.

In worst case, flash the latest RUU for boost.

It brings your phone at a factory state of the software number the RUU has.

Ah. I'm going to have to pay better attention to what apps I'm deleting in the future. My MP3 files wouldn't play any more either. Luckily for me, I did actually do something right and made a backup right after getting root access and S-Off. I restored the backup and everything is working again. I'll have to download a bunch of apps and make a bunch of changes again that I'd already done but this time I'll research more into what apps are safe to delete and which ones aren't. Or, in gamer terms, I hit the reset button LOL. I guess we can call this my test run. That backup system is brilliant because it saves your ass if you go and screw with something you shouldn't.
I really should have learned all of this years ago but now I know better. I won't even buy another phone in the future without consulting here first. You've been a tremendous help.

Does This CF-Auto Root Trully Works ON G930T

guys i want to root my phone on the fast and very simple way possible.
found this root method on https://autoroot.chainfire.eu
this is the link for the root method https://download.chainfire.eu/982/C...Auto-Root-heroqltetmo-heroqltetmo-smg930t.zip
i did not tryed it my self yet. but if theres a user that rooted their phone that way, let me know.

bump

I don't think this will work unless we get our Bootloader unlocked (which hasn't been done yet as far as i know)

UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS
If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device - with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically "OEM unlock" and wipe your data !

this is kind of lame.... why chainfire release a auto root if the thevice have bootloader locked down? and onlockable?

Confused myself
I want to say root is possible, there are tons of sites with instructions: https://www.google.com/search?q=SM-...i57j0j69i60.9343j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Of course, XDA doesn't seem to have a specific G930T thread for rooting with instructions, then see threads like this today. I was all set to give it a try, but unsure if should proceed...
Did find this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/help/sm-g930t-root-doesnt-void-warranty-t3415936
EDIT: so the one linked in original comment was the bleeding edge root process and seems like had a really high failure rate. Most current I've seen is: http://lifeatsamsung.com/root-t-mobile-galaxy-s7-sm-g930t-2/
Seems a little more clean cut and easy. I'll edit again if I find a newer solution or at least commentary on success/fail
In comments OP posts:
Yes I am planning to make a video tutorial.
Also I used the method provided here (this is Max Lee's website)

Worked for me, no problem. Even installed the debloated, deox'd ROM. Unfortunately after root you will need to follow rest of guide, otherwise you will see some lag issues.
On the other side of it, phone is great, fast, if not faster than before, and got root. Let me know if you would like some screenshots proving a TMO phone is rootable or if can answer any questions

So what does this mean in layman's terms. Can I root the device safely with full functionality or not? Are there plans to get a rooted bootloader? And what does this mean because I thought the TMO version had a qualcom processor...

This means that the only rooting method right now isn't as stable as it would be if it had a unlocked bootloader the root right now will cause some issues but they can easily be fix from some of the steps after rooting guides that are in the xda forums and yes it using a Qualcomm processor Witch is pretty much the snapdragon and there hasn't been any luck this past year of getting the bootloader unlocked for full and smooth rooting I'm really ****ty at explaining sorry if your still lost

The Chainfire method he released does NOT work. I'm not sure why he released it...maybe he knows of a future bootloader unlock that we don't know about.

What else can I try? I am on PK1 as the phone is new from the store yesterday and a fresh shipment to them the day before.
I also see a DM verification verify failed dialogue at the bottom when i try the factory reset. No DRK

Remove any existing drivers for your S7 and install this one
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/ph...7-32gb-t-mobile-gold-platinum-sm-g930tzdatmb/
Make sure you click allow on the pop-up on your phone after you plug it into the computer... Good Luck!

Sorry for being daft... I don't see a driver link and how do I remove the previous version?
