Hi all,
For some reason xda wont accept my older account (10? Posts) so had to make a new one
You can find my previos predicament under (meta tags hopefully fpr everyone else that had my problem) "root saga s3" i beleive. I solved it the first time using kingo and a pc, the second time i used keymaster.apk to root without pc. Worked fantastically except for the foreign language both throughout the rooting process and using the su that came with. I tried to replace with supersu and super user but both ended up failing but a rerun of keymaster worked.
I have two requests;
How to install supersu preferably, as i know this well. Im no stranger to root, or developing my own patches, just not wirh this
And secondly, a flashable zip of a barebones stock rom. Its freely available on the mf website. Kernels and CWM an obvious bonus, but beggars cant be choosers.
Ill do as much as i can my end to help, and happy to flash as many times as needed.
Thanks all in advance
Mat

I looked through many other posts regarding problems similar to mine, although none are quite the same. If they are, the authors aren't explaining the problem in detail, so I apologize for creating a new thread if this has been resolved or asked somewhere else.
Here goes:
I get an "assert failure" every time I try to install cyanogen's 6.0 stable rom on my evo using Rom Manager. In fact, several different ROMS, when trying to install them, give the same error. I rooted using UnrEVOked, and successfully updated to 3.29 then re-rooted, however I still get that same assert error when trying to flash new roms. My main purpose for rooting is to be able to install custom themes and use the tether without being robbed 30 bucks a month extra by sprint.
Can anyone direct me to explicit instructions on how to successfully flash roms at will, or direct me toward the use of themes(i've seen some really great ones that I'd like to use on my phone)
Thank YOu!
PS: I am a "noob", just like everyone else was at first
First off, I am not new to forums..this is just the first time I have had enough difficulty and problems to actually post on a site, so I knew that xda would be the best site to post on.
My first question is this..I am currently running a rooted droid with cynoagenmods cm 7. Everything was running smoothly until I tried installing an update( update number 11 to be exact). I used rom manager to do it, the update downloaded just fine, but when I chose the option boot into recovery and install update nothing happened. I tried flashing a different rom amd no luck. Searched around awhile and couldn't find it, so any help would be appreciated.
While I'm here, one forum I read told me to delete all my super user data..pretty elementary but how do I grant su permission for rom manager? If possible id like to do it through terminal terminal emulator.
Id really appreciate any replies..I'm pretty new to rooting and downloading roms so thank you to anyone thatt helps out!
Hello,
I am new to the forums and android in general. Anyways, I am wondering if any one could advise me on the best steps to root and update my oldish android phone. It is currently on android 2.2.1 and has no support for 2.2.3 which is why I believe I need a custom rom.. I have looked thru numerous threads and sources but have yet to find a method i fully understand and trust, as i hear it.. you guys are very helpful and i am hoping that is true cause im about to pull my hair out at this point
Thanks in advance for any help, its appreciated very much.
Its great that you are showing interest in this. (Edited out, the device is stated in title xD).
Rooting shouldn't be as hard at installing a custom ROM. Older devices are rarely supported nowadays, unless it's really popular like the HTC Wildfire or something.
The best way to root your Optimus C is by using GingerBreak. Many users that have your device use that.

Thanks for taking the time to repond/help. Anyways, after some more research I think I found a easy root solution.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13086954
This method seems both easy and very sraight forward. Could any one please confirm? Id just like a lil insight before taking the plunge. lol
Note* I would link the posts stating this does work to gain root access but i cant post outside links untill i have 10 posts on XDA.
Don't worry, the root method should work just fine.

Ok, got it rooted
The next step would be to download rom manager and make a custom recovery using clockworkmod?
Btw~ incase someone is confused in the future. The root procedure was a few simple steps.
Before doing these steps make sure usb debugging is active. Also temp disable your anti-virus as it will flag the apk as a virus, This is a false positive.
1. Download the file from the first post in the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049944. (the easy way for me "since i don't have a usb cord" was to click the QR code link on the first post and scan it with one of the many free qr scanner apps from the play store.
2. Navigate to the download and install the APK.
3. Open Gingerbreak.
4. Click "root" and wait for your device to reboot. Thats all :laugh: "if the process takes more then ten minutes reboot your device and run it again"
5. You can go ahead and uinstall/delete the apk once you have sucessfully rooted.
The next step would be to download and install the devices custom recovery.
Don't just install any, again go to that site I had provided you with earlier that have the stock and custom .imgs with steps on how to install it.

Ok so.. I have a problem, I was about to setup a custom recovery when all of a sudden Super User decided to update and now im a little lost. I have still have root acess and all of my root only apps are working perfectly fine. but every time i use a root app or reboot my phone since the SU update i get a message saying my binary files need to be updated. I try to update them and it fails every time, I have looked though a few threads and the only fix i could find was to use busybox installer. But.. busybox will not install on my device. How do i go forward with this? I don't want to mess anything up.. specially since i just thought i had it all figured out. :crying:
Nevermind, I guess i found a decent work around, I uninstalled the update and forced it to not auto update. I don't know if this is a bad practice but it seems to have solved the issue.
I like LG' phones. I am using LG P500 and very like...:good::angel:
Ok, I'm relatively new to Android and modern mobiles, but I've learned quite a bit already on my own, without much help from others.
The fact some communities provide little to no help is why I came to XDA, but I'm afraid I'm already disappointed about this particular issue.
Ok here it is: I'm not using a custom ROM, and I don't think I want to use one. I'm using the stock ROM, but I've rooted my device with Kingroot, which seems the only one that REALLY WORKS for any device. That's what makes me mad (I don't know if mad is the exact word, but.... I don't know how else to put it).
When I try to install SuperSU, it won't work because it can't update or install its own binaries. When I try the Super-SUME solution, it also doesn't work. In Super-SUME's case (which a friend thankfully helped me test most versions):
6.0 = successfully uninstalls Kingroot, but that's it;
6.2 = same as 6.0 and installs SuperSU, but that's it, nothing works, nor are the binaries updated/installed;
any other version above 6.2, including the latest one (9.2.3): hangs/freezes in "processing, please wait..." and does nothing.
And I don't know who programmed Super-SUME, but I think it's pretty bold on their part to charge for the app when it won't even work on people's devices, as noted above.
So, forgive my rant, but even though Kingroot is infamous (because it's Chinese perhaps ?), at least its devs are capable of successfully obtaining root on all devices, whereas SuperSU's and Super-SUME's devs make it impossible because of the binaries or just because their app hangs on "processing". If a team of devs can successfully root a device, why others cannot without making the user go through extra steps ?
As for these "extra steps", there's not one tutorial on the web (that I had come across at least) with a clear, step-by-step process to install SU's binaries, or to fix Super-SUME's hanging/freezing issues. So after rooting my device and getting rid of Kingroot, all I can work with is an unrooted device with most bloatware out of the way.
I just wish these other devs would go the extra mile and make their apps successfully obtain root without complications, just like Kingroot does. The complications just make their apps useless.
Thanks for hearing me, and maybe for helping me.

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
Kingroot is not always the best choice cause it's not fully compatible with every device.
But i suggest you to head over here
And for futher questions go ahead here: Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!

Thanks. Unfortunately, I have already tried this root solution in the past. It's the only one where I managed to get SuperSU to work, but... the phone will always boot up in recovery mode. So I gave up on this solution as well.
Yes indeed, I'm an Android n00b, but not a total n00b. Sincere apologies if this has already been addressed/solved. I've been lurking around these forums for a couple of weeks now (and read all the recommended threads and joined obviously) and haven't been able to find a solution. Kingoroot seemed to work (both pc and android), but only upgraded to 4.1 jellybean. The minimum required is 4.4 so essential apps can be installed. At this point, just knowing whether or not it's possible would be great.
My search actually started two months ago when I picked up this phone. Extensive searches have yielded results, but most have been non-functional like this site...
https://koselas.com/how-to-install-custom-rom-on-kyocera-torque-e6710/
and the ones found on the forums here just didn't work or the question was never answered. (here for example...https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/kyocera-torque-e6710-unlock-t3241129).
Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all of you who even bother to read this and have a great day.

Howdy, I found the method which worked for me toward the end of this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204320&page=60

I don't recall if FR 1.60 or 1.90 will work, but ONLY one of those two will work. You need to reboot immediately after trying and then install SuperSU from the Play store, as Framaroot will NOT install SuperSU as it says it will.
After you install & opened SuperSU to update binary, follow my instructions I posted in the link to get hotspot working. Make sure you choose grant all w/o notification in SuperSU because it will NOT pop up giving you the option to grant root access request.
It works for sure. If you are having trouble, try a hard reset prior to rooting.
It should also be noted there is no stock ROM to flash if you screw up, so make sure you backup the files you remove from /system should you choose to uninstall bloatware.
Beyond that, it must be user error. I have rooted 7 Torques on various firmwares, including 3.000sp with no difficulty other than trying to figure out which version of FR works.

I used Framaroot version 1.9.0 on my Kyocera Torque E6710 running Android 4.1.2 (stock), Software version 3.000SP.
Framaroot version 1.9.3 didn't work for me.
LMK if this method works for you
@VinGrif...
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer this question. At the moment, I've got a large backlog of work and other projects so, it may be another week or two before there's time to do this. Once completed, I will update on the success (and which worked). Just wanted you to know that your answer was appreciated, but I'm swamped for the holidays. Thanks again!
