Thanks

Use this app to flash recovery img file, in case you have difficulties installing cwm or philz: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools

following this guilde you need custom recovery to root so you can't use root app's without root

Can any one say whether the Canadian 4.4.2 has multi user enabled, if not has any one tried to apply the multi user hack.

Newbie question. If I wanted to temporarily disable the root so that apps which may have an issue with rooted device can continue to work how would this be done. I saw in one forum where someone said they were only able to do this with the 4.2.2 ROM.

I just got prompted when starting KIES for the KitKat update. I have the US version of the Tab 3 10.1 (5210). I assume I can use your root steps to root the US KitKat firmware?
Here's what KIES says:
Current firmware version : PDA:NB2 / CSC:NB2 (XAR)
Latest firmware version : PDA:NH2 / CSC:NH2 (XAR)
Thanks

Use the xposed framework and there is a plugin called rootcloak.

Fix?
I recently did the Samsung update to Android 4.4.2. I've tried multiple times to root my device, but each time, the SuperSu has not functioned properly. The first time it would not update correctly, so I tried a different .zip and the SuperSu in that one would freeze every time I would try to use it. Will this fix the problems I am having?

[Q] CF Auto Root query

I'm pretty confused about the way CF auto root works. some say it breaks OTAs some say it doesn't affect the recovery so it won't break OTAs. can anyone here please explain me if I'll still get OTAs after rooting my all stock 5.0 Nexus 5 by Chainfire's Auto Root method? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No you won't get OTA.
In 4.4, if you had root and stock recovery, you could still get OTA. In 5.0, root makes changes that prevent OTA. on 5.0, ANY changes prevent OTA

oh god no this is bad for me
I really wanted to use this WiFi kill app on my Nexus and now I have to wait for 5.0.1 and then root

You need to be full, 100% stock.

I too was rooted with CF and stock recovery.
To be able to sideload the OTA I had to:
1) download and extract the 5.0 factory image
2) fastboot flash boot boot.img
3) fastboot flash system system.img
4) adb sideload The5_0_1OTA.zip
The CF root process modifies one or both of boot and/or system. The 5.0.1 OTA will not apply with these modified.
The above process will not lose data.

By downloading the 5.0.1 factory image in step 1, you could have skipped step 4 :/

D838 v20b (SEA) - Help with ROOT?

Yesterday I got an update for my D838 from firmware v20a to v20b. My phone is SEA variant. I have lost root in that process so I was wondering is there any working procedure that I can try so I can root my phone again.
Last night I have tried many available options but didn't succseed. I have tried both PC and apk versions of iRoot (that worked before on v20a), KingRoot, Kingoroot, One Click Root, DPTools, and many other different script methods posted here on xda...
But all of them failed... [emoji17]
Is there any propper solution?
EDIT: Problem solved with help of newest Kingroot app

If someone can make flashable ZIP from KDZ, than you can flash it through Recovery together with SuperSU.

Make sure LG mobile driver already installed before you run the bat file.

I have the same problem with the last lollipop 20b, I have tried a lot of tools and also with kingo root on pc, but still root failed...

If you look at tizen 7.1 rom, it is D83820b and been rooted. The Taiwan Rom 20D can be rooted with one-click root software too.
But oneclick root software didnt work when I flashed the ROM CWT 20b.
Sometimes, you may want to try onclick root few times. If still not working, then I think you have no luck but need to go back to 20a. Or flash other custom ROM like Tizen 7.1.

I have tried a lot of times with all the tools.. Im on d838 with stock lollipop 20b from OTA update

another user on here was complaining about the same thing, no root on his 20b firmware. i'm using twn 20d and it got rooted no problem. maybe consider flashing a kdz and bumping it to 20d twn?

Anyone having luck with rooting? I have tried again the newest versions of KingRoot, KingoRoot and iRoot, all on PC and android versions but still can't root v20b firmware.

Based on D83820b-SEA-XX ... Did you upgraded from Kit Kat Rom to D83820a? And then upgraded again to D83820b?
I tried to find the SEA but no luck to know which region it comes from. I tried to install Singapore ROM, and unfortunately the root will never work anymore. I guess the LG has enhanced their software to avoid root. Even if you read thru the XDA LG G4 and LG V10. The way to root the LG phone is so difficult now.

I managed to root the locked Singapore ROM with quite tedious procedures. And NO way for me to keep all the existing applications/data/configuration. If you are ready to install clean ROM and rooted, then you can consider this step.
The reason I do this because the Taiwan Rom D83820d doesnt work well with my country TELCO. Singapore Rom seems more stable.
Here are the steps:-
To root the latest D838 ROM Lollipop 5.0.1
Pre-requisite
So far, only Taiwan ROM will be able to root - D83820d-TWN-XX
- First, download the KDZ for D83820d-TWNXX
- Use LG Flash Tool to flash the Taiwan ROM KDZ
- Use LG One Click Root to root First
- Then install Touch Philz Recovery to enable Recovery.
- Next we need to get the newer ROM KDZ that is not possible to be rooted by LG One Click Root.
(The reason could be LG has enhanced the latest ROM software)
- Use the software WindowsLGFirmwareExtract-1.2.5.0-Release.zip to
> Extract KDZ > Extract DZ > Build System Bin.
- Then you will have system.img
- Then use the Flashable zip template to include the system.img under system folder.
- Modify updater-script to include below content:-
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" ");
set_progress(0.65);
ui_print("remount system and delete the content...");
unmount("/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system");
delete_recursive("/system");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("extract the system.img file...");
package_extract_file("system/system.img", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system");
set_progress(0.65);
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("-Installation Fertig");
unmount("/system");
ui_print("Installation Completed");
ui_print("Enjoy ");
- Save as zipped file. Then you can use the Touch Philz Recovery that you have installed to install this ROM.
- It is flashable zipped file. Then run the LG One Click Root to root it now.

Not available there yet. I need the OTA file as well, I had gotten the OTA update, then ended up accidentally wiping /system while messing around getting it rooted, like an idiot. Managed to downgrade back to MM but bootloader was still showing BQJ2 version, so OTA denied all the same (cannot downgrade BL, smh). Ended up flashing Lineage 14.1 for now, until the OTA comes available.
Scoured the internet looking for the OTA, plenty of sites waiting for links so whoever uploads the OTA first, monetize your link, lol!

I'm on Marshmallow OTA for my LG G3 D850. Does anyone know what the best way to root it is, and whether or not AutoRec works on 6.0? Need recovery to do a backup and did not want Marshmallow to begin with and was planning on installing TWRP and backing up before someone did the update so having trouble getting things ready.
