Would you be able to port CWM to a Huawei G526-L22?
Specs are similar to this Vitria(Y301-A2).
Tried this .img but can't mount /cache/recovery etc
extendcommand threw up failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache
(no such file or directory)Yet that path/directory is present in file explorer.Any assistance would be much appreciated.
The device has been discounted to AU$99 so a lot of geeks have grabbed them and are looking for mods
As is the norm for android heads ;|}Regards from Down Under

do you have the original recovery backed up
and can you run these commands while its booted in android with adb
cat /proc/partitions (info on partition sizes)
run ls too
and did you just take the image and flash it without modifying it.

Was sent the image by a developer, who has sent a revised version which works.
Thanks for your interest.

good to hear:good:
but did you really flash the recovery without modifying anything and it booted on the 526

wow if it booted unmodified at all, these devices must be extremely similar minus the screen, hopefully kernel source pops up for one of them, guess the recovery fstabs were different though
edit
the link is gone?

I requested the source code for the vitria a month ago and huawei just released it
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=17935
I had time to play around with it and build it, did not boot though, wanted to clean it up some but yesterday I broke my hand so there might not be updates for a while.

how did you get the unlock password for this device? im on their website but it doesn't list this device....

sorry it took so long to answer but I got the unlock password from huawei by emailing them, I haven't worked on this device solidly in a while.
you might be able to also flash recovery with adb also, if you wanna try it let me know because I unlocked my bootloader before using adb but when I try it works.

remembered to upload cwm advanced 5
also have cwm 6.0.4.7 and advanced 6 but I need to fix a nasty bug with it.

forgot to add if someone were to upload the recovery.img's and a partition layout for the g526 or G740 I can more than likely try to get cwm and cwm advanced running on them.

had to change the vitria recovery to mount by name instead of block number, changed font also.
added source

Yes, it takes a few email exchanges with [email protected], but I got my unlock password in couple of days from them.
Great job, OP, works like a charm.

Finally got my unlock from Huawei after a week, and just in time! I lost my old HTC G2 (its somewhere in the kitchen, i swear!) and needed a replacement phone fast.
Enter the Vitria. installed CWM and did a full backup, then installed titanium backup and started ripping out bloatware and live wallpapers and other crap.
I have to say, i REALLY hope development of Cyanogen continues for this device, its hard enough leaving CM7 to go to jelly bean. If there's anything i can assist with with a backed up/bootloader unlocked device, let me know. Or buy you enough beer to last a weekend so you can get this compiled

Flashify
I did something different, I flashed with flashify but I realize now I shouldn't have, it reboots but has a signature error before rebooting, I sure hope there will be cynogen mod or something because this phone has a data connection problem, once data goes off it won't come back on until restart and sometimes all bars without data goes off too and then have reboot too, good phone but needs work, glad to see someone out there doing something, thanks.
OK, I think I know how to fix, but I don't have the correct IMG to fix since I have already corrupted it by flashing with flashify.
Does anybody have the recovery.img and the boot.img from a working stock for this phone?
by having a good recovery.img, I can flash with flashify and get it back to working correctly, this is what I did to fix a similar problem from flashing CWM to my LG G2 and worked.
Update, downloaded stock ROM and the recovery and boot img where there so I flashed recovery.img with flashify and everything good.
Just wondering, anybody has a recovery of their Vitria that already has CWM working properly on it, I wonder if that recovery.img contains proper CWM to be flashed to another Vitria?

this is not for the h882l, it might work on that one but I don't know.
if you try to flash without having the bootloader unlocked, it won't work, you will get a crc signature failure error every boot even if you use adb or a flashing app, after unlocking you can use adb, not sure about flashify(never tried it).

Yes CRC Signiture Error, but the bootloader is unlocked, I use T-Mobile with phone, but only problems I see with this phone is connecting to Data all the time, I end up having to turn data off then back on then it is usually fine sometimes it has problems still, I did pay a service to get the bootloader unlocked with a code so it is unlocked.
Would like to see a nice ROM built for this phone, I haven't the slightest clue to do so, Cyanogen mod would be fine.
Did try to install CWM but could not do so, is this the touch or regular version of CWM you have listed?
Keep up the good work, thanks.

I also use tmobile on mine and I have data problems too but haven't tried to fix it yet, don't have the time but your bootloader is unlocked right, your not confusing sim unlock with bootloader unlock right, also your using fastboot to install right.
I am not working on cyanogenmod for the vitria though, it needs a device tree and the kernel needs to be updated for it too, on mine I just run with a custom rom based on stock and a custom kernel for overclocking and stuff, thats enough for me.

Maybe sim unlocked, but thought was bootloader unlocked, I paid to get phone unlocked, they sent a code and I am able to use t-mobile sim card on MetroPCS phone, as for bootloader, it is rooted and says unlocked if that is what you mean, I have SuperSu installed, I used Framaroot as suggested.
Yes I can get into fastboot mode.
Hmm, to verify if bootloader is truly unlocked, how would I go about getting to that to verify for certainty?

[Q] Root for the One Plus One?

This phone has had my attention for a while now, and after reading and watching videos on the phone, my biggest question is about root. If Cyanogenmod 11s isn't pre-rooted right out of the box, is there a root method/someone working on a root method and if not, how long will it be until that becomes a reality? If the phone doesn't have root, I'm afraid that I may not be able to go for this phone as I am heavily invested a number of root operations and apps that I have set up on my phone. Let me know if anyone knows anything.

It's not rooted out-of-the-box. Google doesn't allow this. But apparently, root will be very easy; just plug it into your computer and enter in a few command lines and you're set (so I've heard). Undoubtedly someone will make a one-click script that makes it even easier.

EDIT: Sorry for that one, was posting too fast without thinking first... Actually rooting includes unlocking bootloader and flashing the required binaries via recovery like said below my post.

Really? Sweet!

Andrew Martonik at Android Central spent almost a month with the phone and had this to say about rooting in the review he released just a couple days ago.
Naturally if you want to root the phone, it's only a quick USB cable plug into your computer and a few command line entries away.

That's where I heard it. In any case, it'll be simple; that much was promised from the beginning.
What about SuperSU though? I'm honestly not sure how that gets installed to the right place; the only times I've rooted were with programs that did it for me.

I don't think the retail cm11 will have root. In order to pass android cts, they had to remove root from the release builds. Don't worry, the phone is likely either unlocked or unlockable and it can be rooted with supersu or superuser like a Nexus device. Speculation but I don't see the cm folk going with a locked down phone. Maybe someone who has cm11s should confirm if it has root.

Correct - no retail device shipping with Google CTS/GMS can have root enabled, much less the ability to right OUT OF THE BOX. It has to be done manually by the user, at their discretion.

From what I've read so far, it seems that the phone is fastboot unlocked by default (Normally you'd have to run "fastboot oem unlock"). Since that's already been taken care of, all that would need to be done to gain root is flash a recovery using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (official TWRP build is available), and finally install the SuperSU zip via your newly flashed custom recovery.
Essentially the same method as a Nexus device, other than the fact that the bootloader is already unlocked so that step can be skipped.

So no way to use CM's SuperUser app huh because that's built into the OS. We'll have to use a 3rd party app like SuperSU?

Well, I'm just speculating since I don't actually have the device yet. The CM rom that comes on the phone is not prerooted, nor does it have the Superuser app in it (I'm basing that off an update.zip that's posted in the dev section which doesnt seem to contain the apk). So you'd most likely have to do as I explained above. You dont necessarily have to use SuperSU though. You could probably obtain root by flashing the Superuser zip instead.

cyanogenmod has been planning to separate root for years. i think they are coming up with a simple method of root. maybe just an app install?

You will be able to root with any existing root method with a custom recovery. I'm not sure if cm11s comes with cwm. Anyway rooting is trivial.
Cm I think opted to make root removal so they could get cts approval and install Google Apps.

it doesnt come with cwm. thats a different project, by a different group. and you dont necessarily need an alternative recovery, depending on the rooting method.

I wonder if they're using this recovery.
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery-cm
Simple recovery is the working title.
You are correct that custom recoveries aren't always needed for root; however, in Android 4.3 and later, the two primary root applications need to install a superuser daemon which makes rooting outside of recovery more difficult.

You all guys keep saying that rooting is trivial, but nobody told how to root. I believe you that it's trivial but - anyway -please tell me how to do this step by step.

I'm actually having trouble getting my 64GB production unit to boot into TWRP or have it flash and stick. fastboot says everything is fine, then rebooting into recovery produces the stock simple recovery.
fastboot boot twrprecovery.img ends up hanging on the fastboot screen, basically nothing happens, but fastboot does stop responding to commands.
I'm sort of at a loss - I've done this to many Nexus devices before, and the idea is the same. My bootloader is unlocked, that went without any issues.
Booting a debug boot.img from https://cyngn.com/products/oneplusone via fastboot just ends up shutting down and showing the battery charging icon.
Volume Up + Power while booting ends up with a black screen - in fact, the only way I can get into recovery is from a booted OS.
Edit: After many tries, trying different cables and unchecking the Settings -> Development -> update recovery with system updates, the TWRP flash succeeded, and the subsequent SuperSU sideload went just fine. Now I'm rooted.
Another tip regarding using Power+VolDn or Power+VolUp - things happen so slowly that if you keep holding Power, it'll actually trip a reboot before it has a chance to load. Just hold the Power button for a few seconds when booting, then let go and keep the VolUp or VolDn pressed.

I just did this and it seems to have worked. TiBu just completed..
Used "Fastboot boot TWRP-2.7.1.0.zip" at ADB/Fastboot interface. It booted to TWRP. As I closed, it stated that it looks like "Your device isn't rooted, Do you want to install SuperSU?" To which I said Yes. It rebooted and I was able to open SuperSU, already on the phone, and get root. Then, opened TiBU and performed a full backup.

The first time I did this it hung for a while. it eventually boots into the recovery. I think it took about 2 minutes for it to finally boot into it.

Root One+ fastboot devices hnags "waiting for device"
I amd trying to unlock bootlaoder, and install TWRP on my ONE+. I have tried both android SDK, and TOOLKIT FOR ONEPLUS FROM XDA, and I cannot get fastboot devices to recognize my One+.
What I have do so far:
My PC: windows 7 - 64bit
Installed SDK kit form developer.android.com, and installed the latest composite usb driver from Google.
Installed OnePLus toolkit and tried using that, no dice.
when I execute "fastboot devices" from my fastboot folder, my prompt hangs "waiting for device" FOREVER!!!
"ADB DEVICES" WORKS PERFECTLY, AND ECHOES MY SERIAL NUMBER BACK TO ME."

[Q] Considering rooting the Nexus 5

So I have a black Nexus 5 with a capacity of 16GB. The device is only about 4 months old, so I still have it covered with warranty until June 2016. The device is as good as new and I'm very happy with it because everything is so fast and smooth.
Recently I've been thinking about rooting the device for maybe some little extras. For example, I have GTA SA installed but I would like to play it with the Cleo mod to have a little bit more fun. Or maybe I'll install some kind of adblocker so I could enjoy my brand new phone without the annoying gold diggers. Or perhaps I want to hide some apps from my app drawer so it would look neat and organised. Or I would like to install an apk that isn't available for non-rooted devices. Or in case I want to see the battery percentage next to the time display or anything like that.
As you can see I would only want to root it for rather small reasons. I definitely don't want to overclock anything because it already meets my criteria for speed, nor do I want to install any custom ROMs because I really like the pure android experience. So I have a few questions because I'm a total noob at the field of tweaking android:
Is my current data going to be wiped if I would want to root it?
I'm aware of the upcoming Android L release, so would I be able to update it right away (remember, I'm not going to use any custom ROMs) or would I have to unroot and reset everything first?
In case something goes wrong and I want to use my warranty, could any traces be found after I would have unrooted the device? (because rooting voids your warranty, right?)
What would be the top reasons to root the Nexus 5? For example, any features the device should've had but unfortunately hasn't.
And is it actually 100% safe...?
So regarding to the last question... A friend of mine has a rooted Moto G, he made me familiar with rooting and it's probably thanks to him that I'm considering it. Everything was going well but there were a few times that he woke up and his phone wasn't worth more than a brick. Apparently, it was because of some ROM he installed. This probably won't affect me in any way because like I said, I'm not going to install any custom ROMs, but my friend expected everything to be normal while it wasn't. He probably did everything like it should be done but then he suddenly woke up with a brick next to his head. So apparently, even if you do everything exactly like they tell you to do it, there's still a slight chance that it's going to end up badly, right?
So basically, I'm considering rooting my device but I'm still not sure what I would have to do because there are lots of tutorials and everything is quite confusing and I have some questions. All the help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

root/unlockbootloader/install twrp&busybox no data loss
root/unlockbootloader/install twrp&busybox no data loss without P.C, okay here we go mod's remove if you think it's not helping. download towelroot by geohot,now the rest from playstore, es file exploer,super su,busybox,reboot app,nexus unlock bootloader,
make sure you have security unknowen sources ticked and verify apps unticked.
download towelroot from chrome with es file exploer open and install hit make it rain tab, next install busybox,next install super su app.unlockbootloader with in the app.,install twrp and auto install recovery for hammerhead from twrp, now you should have full root after reboot.super user and busybox unlocked bootloader and twrp installed, and you know what the reboot app is for . no data loss and without a P.C, or you could use fastboot install just look in Q&A, kind regard's joe hope this help's.

1. Unlocking the bootloader is what wipes the data partition, not root access.
2. Don't bother with OTAs to update, they're too much of a bother to try to get to work, when you can just flash factory images/zip, most likely before you even get the OTA pushed to you.
3. Depends where you bought it from. If you got it off the Play Store, then Google does not care about the software you have on your device as long as it's a legitimate manufacturing fault covered by the warranty. You can RMA to Google with a custom ROM and kernel if you wanted to. If you bought it from elsewhere, You'll have to send it to LG for repair. It's possible to reflash factory images and reset the tamper flag, there isn't anything else on the Nexus 5 that will tell LG anything. The easiest way is using LG Flashtool, which can be found in the first link of my signature. If your device is completely dead however, it doesn't matter since LG wouldn't be able to boot it up.
4. Root access is simply root access. You get access to /system, and therefore can use root apps and other modifications.
5. The root process itself is pretty much 100% safe. The Nexus 5 is really, really hard to brick, unless you flash something that isn't meant for your device or something similar, so user error is the only risk in the process. Software-wise, of course root access comes at some form of a security risk. Just be sure of what apps you're granting root access to and you should have no problem.

Most likely user error, or simply because a Moto device could be locked down more (which also makes it riskier and harder to restore) and not as easy to develop for. The Nexus 5 is one of the hardest devices to brick (again, excluding user error), and if you have any issues it would either be user error or a bug in the ROM/kernel.

Check out the first link of my signature and read some threads before proceeding blindly.
There are ways to gain root access without unlocking the bootloader and without a PC as mentioned above, but it's recommended to do it the traditional way by backing up your internal storage to a PC first and using fastboot. Those methods are useful for other devices that are more locked down. This is a Nexus device, it's better to do it properly.

There are ways to gain root access without unlocking the bootloader and without a PC as mentioned above, but it's recommended to do it the traditional way by backing up your internal storage to a PC first and using fastboot. Those methods are useful for other devices that are more locked down. This is a Nexus device, it's better to do it properly.

If you don't have access to a PC, or you're using a locked-down Samsung/HTC/Moto/Sony/whatever device, then sure, go ahead and use the exploit methods.
But if you do have access to a PC, and it's a Nexus device, just do it properly, it'll cause fewer possible issues.

i do use my p.c and lg flashtool and fastboot.just incase lol.and it is the better way of doing it, p.s when OTG rooting don't forget to bring the XDA app.

You mean Towelroot? I'm also considering this option because it would be nice to keep all my data.
Lethargy said:
First of all:
1. Unlocking the bootloader is what wipes the data partition, not root access.
2. Don't bother with OTAs to update, they're too much of a bother to try to get to work, when you can just flash factory images/zip, most likely before you even get the OTA pushed to you.
3. Depends where you bought it from. If you got it off the Play Store, then Google does not care about the software you have on your device as long as it's a legitimate manufacturing fault covered by the warranty. You can RMA to Google with a custom ROM and kernel if you wanted to. If you bought it from elsewhere, You'll have to send it to LG for repair. It's possible to reflash factory images and reset the tamper flag, there isn't anything else on the Nexus 5 that will tell LG anything. The easiest way is using LG Flashtool, which can be found in the first link of my signature. If your device is completely dead however, it doesn't matter since LG wouldn't be able to boot it up.
4. Root access is simply root access. You get access to /system, and therefore can use root apps and other modifications.
5. The root process itself is pretty much 100% safe. The Nexus 5 is really, really hard to brick, unless you flash something that isn't meant for your device or something similar, so user error is the only risk in the process. Software-wise, of course root access comes at some form of a security risk. Just be sure of what apps you're granting root access to and you should have no problem.
Most likely user error, or simply because a Moto device could be locked down more (which also makes it riskier and harder to restore) and not as easy to develop for. The Nexus 5 is one of the hardest devices to brick (again, excluding user error), and if you have any issues it would either be user error or a bug in the ROM/kernel.

Yep. :good: I also recommend using TWRP instead of CWM as your recovery. PhilZ Touch is also another good alternative, but it is no longer maintained and probably won't work for Lollipop's default encryption.
Latest SuperSU is located here, flashable in a custom recovery.

Even though you now have root access, I recommend using Bootunlocker or whatever app to unlock the bootloader from within Android (which doesn't wipe), then flashing a custom recovery with fastboot while in the bootloader anyways.
Why?
If something goes wrong and your phone doesn't boot, you'll have no choice but to unlock the bootloader WITH a wipe using fastboot, then flash a custom recovery or reflash factory images, unless you've done the above, in which case you can dirty-flash (no wipe) a stock ROM zip downloadable here. :angel:

make sure you make a back up back up most important,regard's joe

To be clear, the *whole* phone including your sdcard partition will be wiped so make sure you back up before unlocking your bootloader. I would use an app like ES File Explorer and copy all your files to Dropbox or Google Drive if you dont have a computer but you'll need a computer anyway.

If we want to be clear, we should also be accurate. The *whole* phone is not wiped. The /data partition is wiped, which includes /data/app (where user apps are stored) /data/data (where user settings and app data is stored) and /data/media (where /sdcard data is stored)

All guides and info threads are in my signature. One such INFO thread is OTA help-desk, which explains that you can receive OTA with custom recovery, however there are extra steps.
However, please let me explain 1 thing. OTA is the ultimate noob move. Only root-noobs receive OTA updates. They are the most inconvenient method of updating your OS if you are rooted. Long before you even receive the OTA update, there will be a pre-rooted flashable.zip that can be flashed via recovery.
noobs will often say "but..but..but I wont have to wipe if I accept an OTA"... Little do they know... Even after an official OTA, things screw up. Whenever an OS is upgraded, a wipe is highly recommended as OTA's are imperfect and data between apps and settings conflicts between versions.
OTA is a fools errand if you're rooted. Now you're rooted, leave OTA to the unrooted and learn to manage your rooted device properly. All the info you could ever need is available in my signature as previously mentioned.

or helium back up

Owning a Nexus makes fastboot your best friend, especially if you have issues.
Read up on adb/fastboot and forget OTA's. Nothing like a clean fresh install of a new version. And there's many options to save /backup your data and important files.
Without learning fastboot and adb.... Simple fix issues can become major headaches.
Don't be intimidated. Read, learn, then do. ?

Well, you convinced me to take my N5 to a step further.
So I already Towelrooted my phone which gave me root access and an untouched bootloader and recovery. My next step would be to backup every app and all data to be sure in case something goes wrong, this would be done by using Titanium Backup. Then I should be unlocking the bootloader by simply using BootUnlocker for Nexus Devices so I wouldn't get my data wiped (I know I would be able to restore it with my backup but I rather do it a bit faster and less complex). When I did that, I have to head over to this thread and flash TWRP by following the instructions at "2. Installing a Custom Recovery".
So after all these steps my phone would have no limitations and it would be as unlocked as for example your Nexus 5, right?

Trying To Root Pixel 2

Ok I have the bootloader unlocked.
I was hoping then I could do the following
ADB Debugging on
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-1-fastboot-sailfish.img
But its not booting it. Pixel TWRP Image
So my question is can i modify the image to make the pixel 2 boot it?
Please advise?
Can I root without using TWRP?

What makes you believe that TWRP for the original Pixel will work on the Pixel 2? Likely you'll have to wait for a recovery for the Pixel 2.

Yeah I understand that. I was just hoping that since they are so similar it would work. Especially since I am not going to install it on my recovery just boot it to root and suhide.
I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something or something I could change in the image to make it boot on a 2 .
Thanks though for your thoughts!

The MSM in them is totally different. Plus panel config, clock plan, power grid etc. Your original recovery kernel will not boot on Pixel2, so this is completely expected.

Yes. I agree. Might be me right. I wasn't planning on flashing recovery though just booting it.

If you are feeling adventurous (as it seems you already are!) you might try the twrp-3-1-pixel-bootable-mod.img located here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120753892 ? I used the instructions at https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-how-to-systemlessly-root-pixel-xl-t3660324 to root the 2016 Pixel (not xl) and if I upgrade to Pixel 2 might try that. You might just try fastbooting the twrp img referenced there and then flashing the supersu referenced there without the other modifications GroovinChip did. Again you are taking a risk trying this on "dissimilar" hardware.

If your bootloader is unlocked and you want root.
Try installing Chain fire's Supersu from the play store or install the apk.
I do not have my P2 yet to try.

I think this may be a waste of time because it was modded to work on Oreo. They have already released a version that works on Oreo 3-1-1 that I already tried it wouldnt boot it. I will probably just wait even though i want to play. So i guess I can just say yep I have a pixel 2 with the bootloader unlocked and thats about it.

Yeah, I take having root completely for granted. I guess I've never bought a phone right at the moment of release before. If I didn't really need a new phone, I suppose I would have waited. Anyway, I figured out that you can block ads, without root, with apps that run all your traffic through a vpn (that's really only running locally on the phone). The best options after much research seem to me to be Netguard and AdGuard (though I haven't tried them yet). They both also include a firewall (Netguard is primarly a firewall), which I want.
https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/blob/master/ADBLOCKING.md
https://adguard.com/en/adguard-android/overview.html
DNS66 also seems to be higly regarded, but it doesn't include a firewall. There are other firewall only apps, which work with the VPN method, but you can only run one VPN on Android at a time, so if you want both functions, without root, you need an app that does both.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-dns66-source-host-ad-blocker-root-t3487497
Anyway, that's my plan until root comes along. Then I will go back to AdAway and AFWall+.

There is no kernel source released for the Pixel 2/XL yet. It is based on the 4.4 kernel, this should make development very smooth.

You are welcome.
Rest assured you do have a bootloader. You may not have the bootloader interface the other Transformers have and possibly there is no way to get fastboot to work on this thing - I don't know.
There is no custom rom for this tablet, and if you do not want to loose 4G you cannot use one made for another Transformer either (no idea if that is even possible, I do not know the KL).
Your best bet is to gain root and uninstall a bunch of cr**, maybe use Greenify - I don't know. Very limited what you can do on stock....
I seem to recall that people got root with Framaroot on this thing. Google it, the info is out there. If I can find it so can you

ok let me get to the keypoints here that made me ask for help, and so you'll see that i'm not just a lazy person that doesn't use google
1) Some people they say that the KL can accept all the roms of the Tf700T. for example katkiss is saying to use one of their roms
1.a) some say that it will brick the device.
so, first question here, what will happen if i'll get a custom rom of the TF700T?
2) some people say that I should have a version of the "unlock bootloder" after unlocking with the asus app.
Well I don't have anything, I just have a small phrase which is "device unlocked" and that's it. nothing else.
3) some say on google that there is a cyanogen mod for the KL. Unfortunately cyanogenmod wiki and forum are down, so I can't find either assistance, either the files.
nothing to do here, then.
4) let's say I'll follow your guide, and i'll flash a custom rom. will I lose the 4g?
4.a) how can I get to the old rom, even original, in order to get 4g back?
5) about root: i managed to root it a long time ago. Unfortunately, even disabling most of the package and all the bloatware, the device really sucks.
that's the main reason why I abandoned there 3 years ago. now it's full of dust, and as I've been working a lot, I wanted to get it back with basic functions, but without waiting 10 seconds from the moment i press on APPS BUTTON and the actual time for which I see the apps page.
so, here's my google searching experience.

I'd say the first question is: Is there a compatible custom recovery for the KL and how to install it? I do not know that there ever was a custom recovery made for the KL and using one made for another Transformer may or may not brick your device. I do not see a single post from anyone stating that they successfully installed a custom rom or recovery on the KL, so my guess is: It cannot be done unless you develop a custom recovery for this tablet and find a way to flash it.
2) some people say that I should have a version of the "unlock bootloder" after unlocking with the asus app.

Well, there's the first difference to other Transformers: Most of them have a bootloader menu from where you can boot into recovery or into Android and perform a data wipe. Booted into the bootloader you also have fastboot access. The KL does not seem to have any of this. Do you have fastboot working on your PC? Try it, boot with Vol down or Vol Up and then check if you have fastboot access to the tablet. I doubt it....

You cannot follow my guide unless you figure out a way to get fastboot working. You could try to flash TWRP recovery using their app or Flashify, but which TWRP?? Which version might be compatible with your bootloader? Nobody knows it seems. But heck! What have you got to loose? You are not going to use the tablet in its current state anyway, so if you brick it - who cares?
But to answer your question: Yes, you would definitely loose the 4G. The software for your modem has its own partition and no rom made for the wifi-only Transformers even knows this partition exists, let alone about the hardware

You need to boot into the TWRP that you flashed, hold the volume button down and press the power button (hold both) until you get the fastboot screen, the square with [RCK] should be blinking. Now press the volume up button to enter the TWRP recovery console. - NP
