BlindArtisan For providing the stock recovery, thanks man

I can't use the cwm because no matter what I try I can't get my goddamn phone to be recognized properly in download mode. It's seen perfectly when powered up on com3. When I go into download mode it's listed as an unspecified device and the usb modem driver doesn't turn on for the phone like it does when it's on.

Thank you for doing this it has been long overdue. Do you think you could provide the recovery image (and other files needed for installation?) without having to use the exe?

Thank you. An alternate way to install for those who are rooted and don't want to use Odin.
Create a copy of the recovery on your sdcard.
In the android terminal or adb with shell type dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
To make the recovery permanent.
Find /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Rename the file install-recovery.sh.backup
Reboot into recovery and enjoy the glory.

I had the same issue, and I narrowed it down to this: If you installed the samsung usb driver WINDOWS UPDATE then you are screwed. What you really need is a laptop with no phone drivers on it, and just plug your phone while it's on download mode and then it will be seen by ODIN. I had to use another laptop to install the recovery correctly.

You could always uninstall the drivers then install fresh ones from Samsung. Or use the in phone method.

Anyone else's recovery think it's march 13, 1970?
Also, I'm curiuos as to why it tries to fix root when I reboot and what, exactly, would it do to fix it. After reboot, root is not broken, so a fix is apparently not needed.

Thanks blind you came through for me, that way I didn't have to worry about my phone being recognized in download mode. Nice job on the recovery it looks fantastic.

Someone needs to make a video about this root method to spread the word and upload it to youtube!

Worked flawlessly on a new phone. A 6 month old one, all appears ok, it sees the phone, odin loads the image, phone reboots ok. When I try try to reboot into recovery mode I get the stock recovery, not CWM.
Any ideas?

guys i am so sorry, i had to reinstall linux and thought i lost teh device t ree, anyways i compiled a new version of OUDHS recovery for yall. and finally uploaded source

Carpboy,
Did you delete/rename install-recovery.sh as referenced earlier in thus thread?
Shabby,
Thanks a lot. What changes are there in this new version? Also are you still planning on making the source public?

source is at the link
and there is a good deal different in the latest version. honestly i suggest everyone upgrades

Just tried it.
Two things:
1.) The colors are off. I'm guessing it's identical to the issue rdawson detailed in the earlier debugging process. Also, the display jumps from side to side with each display change. I.e. each scroll up or down in a menu, also when the backup moves from file to file.
2.) The date of the backed up file is still 1970. Although, oddly, the properties of the files are dated 1979.

[ROOT] With towelroot!

Hey Guys. So Some of you may know towelroot was just released by Geohot. I went ahead and tried it on my G2 runing stock 4.4.2 and it WORKED! I ran root checker after running the apk and it said I have full root level access. You just have to download SuperSu from market afterwards. I downloaded root explorer and was prompted with the prompt to grant root and all was well!
Link to original post: http://tinyurl.com/pykqkpt
1. Go to http://towelroot.com/
2. tap the logo for apk
3. Run the apk and follow directions within
4. After phone reboots, Install SuperSu
ALL DONE!
A side note, I haven't tried using rom manager to install custom recovery as I'm not sure if we've found a button code. If someone is willing to help me with that Id be grateful. I can't afford to brick this phone as it's my only phone work work and play.

AWESOME.
Can anyone else confirm this before we try? any bugs?
And how do I go about installing TWRP recovery (or any other suitable recovery)

All is working fine, flash twrp recovery with autorec app by cloudy.
As a side note, please donate to Dev if you can. I know i did.

It worked for me, but can we install custom roms now since we can use autorec to install twrp?

This was already posted in the top level apps section for lg g2

I tried to install recovery with an app called RecoverX, it claimed to do its job but I can't get the device to reboot to recovery. Tried holding the power/volume down like they say but it didnt work.

When I see they said it would root a S5 on VZW I was pretty hopeful. I knew this was coming real soon. But I went ahead and did it the hard way anyway.

Just to clarify, you've managed to install TWRP on your G2 and boot it into recovery with autorec? Just want to make sure before I try.
Never used autorec so if you've got a guide to link to that'd be great.

too late I used a autorec and actually got the phone to TWRP. I then proceeded (stupidly) erasing everything and wiping the device because I thought I'd be able to mount it and copy the CyanogenMod file I wanted.
Boy was I wrong.. TWRP did not allow me to mount the device to USB. And for some reason I couldn't get the right driver to install in Device Manager.
At one point I decided it would be a good idea to restart, now I'm stuck at boot loop and I can't get back into TWRP. I tried holding power+down, that forces it to restart a bunch of times. I held the UP button but that puts it into FIRMWARE UPATE mode which also doesn't allow ADB
How do I get back to TWRP? how do I flash Cyanogen mod through ADB
Any ideas please?

Hold vol down + power button until screen flashes black followed by lg screen release buttons and quickly press both again and hold. It will boot you to a white screen asking you if you want to fully factory restore...press power to agree... Since twrp replaced factory recovery it will not wipe but instead take you into twrp...takes a couple tries sometimes... You need cm and gapps packages on your internal memory to flash through twrp

If you wiped everything you will have to start over by flashing the original firmware again. It happened to me too because I didn't have the ROM I was flashing on my device already. I used this guide, http://youtu.be/Lg693AYgoTo, to flash back to stock JB, then upgrade again. Just be sure the rom is you want to flash is on your phone since USB won't work. It's no guarantee though, esp. since there is that driver error.

OK, I got it back to TWRP, but now Windows 8.1 is still saying "Windows was unable to find a driver for this device"
I installed every driver I can find. Both on the LG Website and on XDA-developers.com

What are you trying to accomplish connecting to computer?
Nevermind I forgot you can choose files from computer when connected...but yeah...may need full restore...there are a few step by step threads on here to do so

Same problem I encountered, so I just figured USB is a no go and had to do the firmware update and then start over with ROM and GAPPS on device next time.Hope you get it...it sucks with all the excitement and all the time us G2 owners had to wait!

Ugh. This sucks. this file is taking forever to download for some reason and I'm in no mood to start dealing with this ****.
I'm just going to take it to the T-Mobile store tomorrow.

It's rooted and they will check it with their diagnostic tool and tell you sorry. Just firmware update it to lose root first. Use this...easy...http://youtu.be/Lg693AYgoTo

[Q] D80110G OTA phone working but NO download mode No recovery

Hello everyone,
Started from D80110C (stock using download mode), rooted, took all the OTAs till D80110G. Then, on top of that, I received another OTA for 300Mb to D80120G . I wasn't sure what it was. I finally decided to takr it. BIG MISTAKE!!! root was gone.
Tried Towelroot and Root25 and Root10, now all failing with D80120G .
So I said, easy, lets go back to stock D80110C. Surprise: download mode is gone. Every time I follow volume key sequence (tried the all) phone shows charging icon instead of download mode.
And recovery mode? only shows Factory Reset (which I already tried...)
I read that some people were able to use the LG Maintenance tool and choose "Update Recovery". Tried that: to me shows "Nothing to fix".
In other words, I'm stuck. Phone works fine (which is great), but I'm afraid I will never be able to do any upgrade since both download method and recovery method seems to be gone. Question is: will the next OTA work?
Any ideas? I read about the Linux method of overwriting the images. Pretty scary, since the phone still works I'd think something else should be available.
It could be worse, the phone is working, still I hate being without options...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

After you run stump and it tells you to reboot. After the reboot go to the playstore and install supersu after that you should be all good.

No unfortunately stump doesn't say to reboot. It just says rooted. Then I checked with root checker and I'm not rooted.
I believe its a broken root scenario. Anyone knows what to do? Thank you in advance.

[ROOT][new][SM-T53x-SM-T33x] ROOT without a PC on Tab 4 10.1&8.0 . Knox 0x0.

Hi . I present new method to get Root with last build of KingRoot . Main advantage is KNOX 0x0 . And then if you want you can to change him to superSU .
Get Root without a computer, on any version of Android, you can use the latest (4.62 as of this writing) version KingRoot. Complete information here KingRoot http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461 . (Read required).
So what we need to do to get Root .
Download the installation program KingRoot v.4.62
Attached below .
Turn on : debugging via USB, boot from unknown sources, and Wi-Fi.
Then install and run the program Kingroot. You make a couple swipe up and click on "Try". Next, the program also checks the possibility of installing Root , and eventually appear at the bottom of the key "TRY TO ROOT". Hit it, and wait patiently for the end of the process. Screenshots are in OP KingRoot thread .
For T337A owners : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64747325&postcount=14 and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/rooted-nk2-att-t377a-t2992639
If there is a need to replace Kinguser to superSU, it is easy to do using the Super-Sume http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/supersu-please-t3110954 . Working version 9.1.9 SuperSU Me-Pro .
For 5.1.1 owners you must to try Super-Sume build 9.2.6 or above . Notice for 9.2.6 build :
SuperSU Me Pro v9.2.6 Patched
What's New
- Please leave a review, I need to hear from you
- Updated SupeSU to v2.52 to support newer Android builds
- Hopefully this will help with Stage 2 hanging for some users
- Kingo root users, on Stage 2 the app might hang, just force close it and run it again..
- Watch for SuperSU to prompt you for root access at re-launch
- Yes you will now be prompted for SuperSU to update binaries, just choose Normal.

Sorry , but this impossible . Knox is changes when are system changes (root , new recovery, new kernel etc)

Fyi, I just ran this on my verizon tab4 10.1 lte (smt537v) and it worked after first reboot, but after running super su me and rebooting, it is stuck in a boot loop. I can still get into download mode so I should be able to flash a factory image through Odin when I have a computer in front of me as long as the computer will recognize the device. So be careful because I followed the directions correctly and ended up screwing things up

I rooted without a computer with kingroot like you said in the op. Verified root, then followed the instructions for super sume and rebooted after updating su binary. And yes it's running 5.1.1. I downloaded the first super sume version you posted in the op before that new version was posted. I'll try to recover the tab when I have access to a computer

Thanks, I may need some help if the computer doesn't recognize the device because of debugging or the bootloop it's in. Before I rebooted, it was in debugging mode but I'm not sure now. I've been playing around with Samsung stuff for a while now (rooting, flashing, some build Prop editing, etc) but I'm no pro. I pretty much just research and follow directions. I'll find out if I need help when I hook it up to the computer. Thanks again

Dont worry . Simply flash your firmware via Odin .

I checked now - this method successfully works on Tab 4.8.0 too !:good:

Thanks for the post. Works with my SM-T530NU. 0x0

Tried this on my galaxy tab 4(sm-t337a) and get a "System software not recognized by AT&T has been found on your tablet..." Error on boot.. Guess i'm pretty much screwed because the firmware files for this tablet have not been released yet

Alcatel Onetouch Flint Root

Hey, guys. I found a way to root Alcatel Onetouch Flint by Cricket Wireless. First, you have to enable USB Debugging and Unknown Sources. Then, download the kingroot app from kingroot.net After rooting is complete, reboot your phone. When it boots back up, download SuperSU from google play. It will ask to update binary click normal. It will ask you to remove other superuser apps (kingroot and purify) click ok andit will do it for you. If it says binary update failed just click reboot and superSU works fine ater reboot.
If you want to install Xposed, check out my other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/xposed-alcatel-onetouch-flint-t3440789/page1

No custom recovery yet cuz we can't unlock the bootloader yet

So I found an option to "allow OEM bootloader unlock" in developer options but still no way to actually unlock it yet

I know I'm late to the party, but wanted to say good work and I got one myself after they lowered the price at Target to $50. Purchased an unlock code for $6 and will be using the root method you lined out after I get and use my sim unlock code. Thanks again!!!

Can someone plz try this method to flash twrp and see if it works

It worked for me! Guys just follow his guide and u should be good. Thanks @jsowen321

Getting SuperSu to replace Kingroot was super annoying and frustrating.
SuperSu Me just hangs cause KingUser doesn't like to be replaced and it makes sure you know that by installing itself as a system app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/replace-kingroot-supersu-t3339950
That did for me effortlessly and SuperSu updated the binary after soooo many failed attempts.
"sh switch_armv7.sh"
You'll understand after you read the last step.
SuperSu Me should be ran after switching to remove KingRoot files from phone.
Root, Xposed and TWRP is easily achieved as long as you know how to follow directions.
Thank you @Casey Campanile & @jsowen321

lost root
I rooted my device using KingRoot , but I never could get SuperSU to install binary codes. I had read how to replace it so I download the zip file and the only thing it didwas send me error that KingRoot has stopped working. No root access. Question is do can I just start over using the instructions u gave. As u can probable tell this is my first time rooting a phone..

Yea just restart ur phone. If KingRoot is still installed, remove it, and then reinstall KingRoot again. If it's already removed just reinstall it. After rooting with KingRoot, download SuperSU from Google play and update binary using the "normal" method. Then it will ask to remove other superuser apps click OK or yes so it will remove KingRoot for u

Thank you for taking the time to deal with my issues. I did as u instructed, uninstalled and reinstalled then installed SuperSU. Unfortunately it says install failed,. Now what I'm afraid of messing things up thank u

Seems like this thread is alive, and the phone is still available in retail stores in the US.
You can root this phone without having to go through the kingroot app. See this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/alcatel-users-t3488125
Hope this helps anyone who recently purchased this phone!

So what can I do with this now that I've rooted it? Is there some new rom I can install to run the latest Android? This is my first Alcatel...I've been a Samsung Galaxy S person for a bit. Looking for some fun with the Alcaltel.

Is there a way to bypass cricket hotspot lock. My phone is rooted and I installed Xposed but I can't find a way to bypass wifi tethering lock.

Follow this Guide!!

I did this to both of my flints. Rooted by kingo. Installed build.prop. Changed fm transmit from false to true. Net used ex file explorer. Show hidden files. Delete power roll back app. I’m on $100 for 5 lines plan. I use over 300 GB per line. Hope that helps.

I've been running a hotspot on my flint for over a year…
1. root (i used kingo)
2. install "DisableService"
3. disable system service "com.tctApp.serviceEntitlement
4. reboot and setup hotspot
5. I uninstalled kingo and rebooted and the "disable" stuck and still works.
