Hi i am new to the droid community got this fone as a gift from a bufdy of mines, got tonrun it on metro pcs network was really to setup. Anyways i update to ota with out doin no reaseach seems like i am stuck with 4.4.4 my question is there a way to root xt10180 non dev or temp root??? Can someone guide me the rite direction thank u
P.s if this is not the rite place pls move post t.y
Considering there is other sections more appropriate than the "Dev" sections for a question or concern, this would certainly not be the right place to ask.
But to answer your question, no. If your BL(bootloader) is locked, you have OEM/Stock recovery, and are on 4.4.4 you are screwed. It appears the Ultra is no longer being supported by anyone capable of finding a method to root. However, you can PAY for a BL unlock code, but it apparently has not been successful for everyone so I personally havent tried and would not pay the premium and possibly get nothing in return. At 4.4.4, you are unable to downgrade to older versions capable of root. Unless someone releases a method of bypassing the stock restrictions - you may have to wait until the next update. Only problem with that is the day after you update, if you choose to, someone may release a tool or method to bypass those security measures. However, if you dont update immediately you may possibly miss the window of opportunity to use a crack-able version of an OTA and wind up being stuck with too new of a version (I am not 100% sure on this last statement, as its been awhile since I was fully involved in the dev world). Hope this answered your question.
Yeah know I am stuck on this version. N I also won't pay for no bl that's not going to work. If someone do come out with a crack version I am willing to donate. I miss been root man. I hope someone do come out with a way to bypass this restrictions. I know they are a lot of smart ppl out there, that can help us noobs lol.

Hey guys and gals! My att one x is on the way. I trying to find out as much as i can, before it arrives, for development and custom rom usage on the new device.
I have been out of the forums since i sold my att note.
I know this is alot to ask for some, but...
Can someone please lead me in the right direction for rooting, recovery (cwm if possible), and rom.
My goal is to use a net 10 sim and unlimited plan with this device. This might/would require a carrier unlock code? I can get the code if i need it but id really just appreciate someone summing up these basic questions with basic links or knowledge of the processes. I feel my contributions to our xda forums warrant these inquiries.
Im sorry that i cannot take the time to read the entire att one x forum and subs. Im literally in constant overtime at work. If someone here has the knowledge and guidance, I would appreciate every bit of help.
Summary : Information needed for...
Root
Recovery
Rom
Misc. Information i need to know, including cross-platform rom compatibility (i. e. One X and att One X)
I want to thank you guys in advance because I know at the heart of XDA lies a caring and gifted community of talented people who feel good helping others.
I promise to run with the information and do as much research and reading as possible when time permits. I have done so with all of my devices and being a creature of habit, well...
Thanks again and please dont expect an immediate response of gratitude, personalized to individual replies, until this weekend when i can get back on here and start the one x root process.
Check out this thread, it's got links to pretty much everything you'll need:

What he said. Also i suggest twrp over CWM. It is touch based, plus it works with plenty of roms. You do want to make sure you are on a version where your phone can be rooted.
Good luck.

Is this an AT&T phone, as I suspect from your post? If so, I hope you can still return it.
There is no root method for AT&T One XL phones on 3.18, and there may not be one for months if ever.

This is very true. If the device is from AT&T and has the 3.18 Jellybean firmware, its can't be rooted. Although its possible there is some old stock at some stores with older firmwares. Anything but 3.18 can be rooted. I think someone posted on here just a couple weeks ago about getting a new phone from an AT&T store that had 1.73 (the version from when the phone was released!).
OP should check the firmware version in Settings, and go from there.
hello, im very sorry if this is covered a million times over by now. ive been using google as well as looking into all the fourms in xda. very confusing and kinda frustrated. i have searched for about 3 days. i am very much a noob and dont get the lingo. also post seems to spin off into installing custom roms. im just looking for pure root. bootloader and things of that nature i dont care much about. my problem is i have app data in my Motorola xt912 droid that i just rooted the other day. i cant use helium to get it out. so rooted with a program i found on here. bought titanium back up pro. i also bought helium pro since i was able to move data from this s3 to my girl friends s4. i do want to help support the devs that make these things possible for the average user that likes to keep things simple.
so i have this 4.3 update. so i see forums saying i can root while others say it will brick my phone. just looking for a straight answer. thank you for taking your time to read this and have a happy new years

Sorry to hear about your searching troubles. I think everyone here will admit that specific info about Tw 4.3 is hard to find in one place but we've got folks helping out in the 4.3 discussion thread. Ask anything and someone may have an informed answer.
You can use Saferoot to root TW VRUCML1 ota. Yes, my link is to a Galaxy S4 tool however we have multiple users in the discussion thread that have confirmed Saferoot works for our latest 4.3 OTA. Feel free to search in that thread and you will find confirmation. Root has been possible much of the last week, maybe two.
I know you said this but I'll just reiterate, we have root only nothing else for TW 4.3. Do not flash anything in Odin unless it's the 4.3 VRUCML1 tar to restore back to stock.
thank you!!!!!
ok this seemed to have worked. my phone wants to reboot but titanium back up pro says i have root. maybe in your nice guide which i havent found anyone who said this yet, that the program ask to disable knox. i clicked no. (another reason im scared to reboot my phone) i cliaked no because of all the post saying to disable knox will brick your phone

You should probably run that tool again and choose yes. Haven't heard of anyone choosing no, the people I've seen who had root chose yes. It's not explicitly stated but it does not hurt the phone in any capacity by selecting yes. To be honest though, idk what the difference is between selecting yes and no.
I'm not on the TW 4.3 OTA so maybe someone can provide input on the disabling Knox.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4
I just used saferoot on mine today. I honestly didn't see anything about disabling Knox when I did it, but when I installed titanium backup Knox Notification Manager was already disabled so I'm assuming it happened somewhere in the process. Phone is working great so far. I haven't tried defrosting it because, well.... Why, it's working fine the way it is.

forgive me because normally i do do my homework and find the answer for myself as im not new to this awesome site and already know how things work here so I am really sorry for Im sure this has been covered but simply put I have very little time due to some life bs thats going on with me right now and cant dedicate the appropriate time to do my homework,. Im on 5.0.1, s-off and running a stock prerooted firmware from the ruu file DOTTAT_VZWM8_S_OFF_5.0.1_SF_FUU. My phone without me doing anything has downloaded the 6.0 update and I know sooner or later verizon will force me to take the update. What is the best way to upgrade and still keep s_off, unlocked and rooted? once again I apologize for this rash approach because I do respect what you do and I know making people do homework is how to best educate them. I appreciate any help whether being a direct answer or a link to the appropriate forum for the answer, and and all help is most definitely appreciated.
Hey, I heard somewhere that if you build a ROM off the stock kernel it would work even if you had a locked bootloader, I am going to try to learn how to make ROMs because it sounds intresting. Just a question.
can't we use flashfire to install ROMs?
Now that we have root I'm sure all these options are being looked at by the devs. Its a waiting game less you have the drive to learn how to become a dev yourself. Me personally I don't have what it takes so I'm just checking the forums daily.
Any luck on cm roms

I doubt CM roms will come out any time soon, if Im not mistaken CM roms need bootloader to be unlocked, which we havent had any yet.
Can anybody confirm if we can flash custom stock roms with flashfire?

Got a V10 from AT&T today
Hey guys,
We got a V10 from AT&T today in exchange for a G3 that crapped out. I hadn't heard of this phone until I took it out of the box (was expecting a G5). I saw there wasn't a CM release for the H900 and this thread is the most active one I found. I'm a software engineer and have rooted/rom'd several android phones, most recently the G3.
Short story long, I'd like to get CM working/supported on this thing. I saw a guide on stechguide.com for rooting and getting TWRP loaded via lgup/tot method that I'm going to try out. I was also wondering if any of you guys have done this, and if there are any rumors or news for cm support.

If you are on Lollipop you can root using the Tungkick method, but there is no TWRP available for the H900. The bootloader is locked and there is no unlock available for it yet. I wouldn't trust that guide.
If you are on MarshMallow there is no root available yet. Keep an eye out on this forum though, chances are it will break here first.
Hey all! Good news! A 9-year-old bug called the "Dirty Cow" exploit still exists in the Linux/Android kernel can easily grant root on any Android phone!!! See the video below.
http://www.xda-developers.com/9-year...on-of-android/
So there's another bug to exploit for root and even possibly unlocking the bootloader! The bug has been fixed recently in Linux but hasn't been rolled into Android yet. If anyone can get this working on my AT&T LG V10 (running Marshmallow) I'll give a reward of $50! Plus you'll be my hero! Now get crackin!
Have anyone figure it out yet??
Please let me know if you got it

There is interest in this. We simply don't have enough devs. We used to, until someone pissed off JCase and he refused to work on the V10.

The key to unlocking their bootloader would be nice
Right, of course. But can I ask for something else that allows the unlock? In other words, can I reword it?
EDIT- I emailed him asking flat out for a way or a contact of his that might be willing to help unlock the bootloader. Let's keep holding our breaths.

Hi,
I apologize if this is the wrong forum, but I will start here and see where it leads me. Not sure what type of processor the USA phones have.
I am currently using an SM-G930V Galaxy S7 phone originally bought from Verizon, but now used on MetroPCS. (USA)
Since MetroPCS uses T-Mobiles network, I wanted to flash my phone over to t-mobile, so I can get band 12, etc. and get better utilization / reception from the phone.
My concern is that I have never done this process before, and do not want to brick my phone.
I do have my current configuration backed up, using smart switch on my laptop.
Has anybody developed a guide, or instructions?
How difficult, or simply is the process?
How safe / risky is doing it?
Can I actually ruin my phone trying to do this?
Which software version do I use? the U version, or the T version?
Thanks in advance for any help / suggestions you may have to offer

Yes a lot of people have made multiple tutorials for this, and they are all over this forum if you read some threads
If you don't like that answer, imagine how annoying it is for long term members here to have to keep typing out the exact same instructions every day to new members who don't read anything
heres a link for the U firmware QD2 update just download that and odin and use odin to update your phone. Its perfectly safe to use the U firmware on all US variants. Any questions don`t be scared to ask.

Asking questions is fine if they are questions that are not easy to know / find the answers to, or you're having a problem
It's a joke when you come to XDA and make a new thread asking how to flash your phone, that info is literally all over this forum, it just shows laziness
