I followed This Guide to get temp root in order to get s-off with sunshine. The SuperSU apk the guide requires is hosted on an iffy looking file hosting site. I downloaded the apk straight to my phone, but my friend downloaded it to his PC first, and got malware with it. I'm concerned that the apk could also be infected since the site itself is apparently compromised, serving malicious ads, or something.
After getting s-off, I followed the guide to install the DigitalHigh GPE ROM HERE. First I had to flash the 5.1 GPE firmware, and then the ROM itself. Would doing both of these things remove any infections, if that apk was infected? If not, what should can I do?

If you wiped both your system and data partitions in the process of flashing the digital high rom, then the kingroot and SuperSu files you used to root are both gone. I've done the exact same thing you did (S-off then DigitalHigh) and that app is completely gone.

You can only uninstall system apps if you have root access. To get root you need a custom recovery installed. To install a custom recovery you need an unlocked bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader on the firmware that your phone is on is quite difficult (even for experienced phone modders) to say the least. I'm assuming that you have the at&t model, do you?
If you want to do it you need to go to this thread, which will allow you to get s-off. Once you have s-off you can change your CID from stock (CWS__001) to SuperCID (11111111). Once you have SuperCID you can go to HTCdev and unlock your bootloader. Once you have an unlocked bootloader go to my guide thread and follow the instructions there to install TWRP recovery, make a backup, and root your stock ROM. Once you have root you can use a root-enabled file explorer to remove whatever system apps you want to remove.
If you don't have any experience with modifying phones this probably sounds like gibberish, and you should do a lot of research first.
If your phone isn't the at&t model you can just go straight to HTCdev and unlock your bootloader, then go to my guide thread and follow the instructions there.
Hey, I' ve got my Oneplus One now with CM12 (20150415 nightly), and rooted months ago with zedomax tutorial (can't post link).
With the tutorial, I unlocked the bootloader, flashed SuperSu binaries, installed TWRP recovery and then flashed CM11.
I've some issues with the root. When I try apps requiring root permissions it says they're not enabled. I've also messed flashing CM12.1 yesterday, because I forgot the 5.1 gapps, and had to go back to CM12. Of course now there are a lot of problems with several apps and processes.
I have backups of everything and I don't mind losing data, and my question is: can I follow an xda tutorial to do all the process again? I mean, even my phone is not stock, can I reunlock the bootloader (to erase everything) and do everything well?
I have also another doubt: do I need to flash SuperSu binaries, or CM is prerooted?
Thank you and sorry for my inexperience (I try to progress )

try to flash the stock images with ADB (there are lots of tutorials on the forum here), it will wipe everything and you can have a clean start, then if you want to update to 5.0.2/5.1.1 just download the firmware update, the rom and Gapps. Most of the rooms as for now have a built in root, but maybe it disabled so you have to enabled it through developer settings.

Hey all,
After some browsing on here recently, it looks like a somewhat experimental exploit has been found to gain temporary root access long enough for Sunshine to do its thing. I am planning to use the "Kingroot" method to root and permanently s-off my HTC M8.
It has been some time since I seriously rooted any android phone so I wanted to compile a checklist of the steps I will need to take to fully downgrade my operating system from Lollipop back to Kit Kat once all is said and done. My questions are as follows:
-is it necessary to flash a stock 4.x.x sense rom before flashing a custom 4.x.x build?
- from a stability/performance standpoint what sense kit Kat rom do you find to be the best? I prefer sense for the great widgets and features it provides.
- is flashing a kernel necessary for going from 5.x.x to 4.x.x? I recall doing this to my OG droid several times.
- will flashing new radios be necessary or are the still included in rom builds?
- Is twrp the preferred recovery for the m8 or do alternatives exist which you'd recommend?
Please let me know of any other important steps I will need to take before attempting the downgrade. Thanks in advance.

Once s-off if you want stock experience, I would flash kk ruu
This should be in Q&A, not development. Maybe @moderator an move it?

The kernel is part of the rom you flash. You can flash a different kernel after installing a rom. Just gotta make sure it's compatible with the rom

On HTC devices you have to distinguish between firmware and rom. The firmware is radios, hboot and such. The rom is seperate. In general you have to have 4.4 firmware to run a KK rom and 5.x firmware to run a LP rom. Although I know of people who flashed the 5.0.1 firmware and then went back to CleanROM 3.x (which is KK) without a problem. YMMV

You cannot downgrade to KK unless you are s-off. Once you are s-off, flash the firmware for the rom you want to run, then flash the rom
Thanks for the info, that is exactly what I need. I finally have some time today to give this a shot so I will report my results.
Looks like I am already running into issues with Kingroot not opening on my phone. It will install, then once selected from my app drawer it just flashes the screen with no result.
I got another version from a download list on XDA heres the progress so far:
- kingroot gains root after 2-3 tries, no big deal
- sunshine installed and given su permission
- sunshine verifies, I pay them, final tests are run and it reboots
- phone fully rebooted, sunshine asks to continue
- I hit home and minimized Sunshine, went back to kingroot, installed - reboot - Sunshine pops up, minimize, kingroot - repeat until root is successful
- maximize Sunshine from apps tray, continue - s-off successfully
- rebooted the phone into the boot menu and verified that the bootloader is unlocked and s-off has been successfully achieved
I do also concur with other postings that the modified flag has been placed when I enter the boot menu.
Also just to clarify - I CAN download RUU 4.4.3, place it on my root SD directory (FAT32), and go into hboot mode and flash accordingly? This won't brick my phone going from 5.0.1 to 4.4.3 as long as the phone is s-off unlocked?
Ok.. I flashed 4.4.3 which worked.. then went into the play store to grab TWRP - tried to install the recovery and it said something went wrong. I chose to reboot the phone into recovery to check if one was already installed (I thought RUU was bone stock..) and now I can't get kitkat to boot up.. it just goes to TWRP or gives me the red exclamation point....... not sure what to do here but I don't think adb will work since it requires drivers I can't install without the phone being fully booted up..
EDIT: Since I still had a recovery and an SD card with the 4.4.3 RUU on it, I just wiped the system and booted up into the hboot to reinstall the RUU again. Phew..
Now I'm just confused as to why TWRP did that to my phone in the first place? I don't want to install it again now because that was such a pain, but I want to get a rom loaded..
TWRP Manager sucks. The partition layout is slightly different between KK and LP and probably TWRP Manager flashed the recovery to the system partition. That's why it booted straight to recovery.
Use fastboot to flash TWRP.
Thanks man, that makes sense. I'll give it a shot tomorrow!
I was able to RUU TWRP no problem with a RUU zip I found on here. Worked like a charm.
I have to say I didn't realize how bad the official lollipop OTA is compared to running a 4.4.3 version of viperrom. It's like night and day and my battery life is excellent now. So glad the kingroot exploit worked!

Thanks for this whole thread! Your detailed process has given me the confidence to finally do this on mine, can't wait to be back to KK and have a working device again!
Hello,
I'd like to update my phone via ota without losing root. I found the tool [root] FlashFire that promise to do that. Is this tool working well and safe to use?
OTAs can also deliver new firmware updates like radio, hboot, etc. Is Flashfire also able to update the firmware or should I better install the ota the normal way and then root again?

worked well for me
if u don't feel safe,u can try ota 1st then root
I'm only not sure if the app can also flash the firmware part or only the ROM itself

I have successfully unlocked the bootloader my H83010i version.
I started down the path to root my device using H83010d tot file but stopped because I didn't know if when I upgrade to android 7.0 versions if I would lose root?
Therefore what is the easiest way to get to H83020f rooted?
How do I go from H83010i to H83020f and be rooted?
I have rooted a lot of samsung galaxy phones but this is my first LG so I am struggling a bit to understand how to upgrade. I assume if I do an OTA update it will install the latest version? I checked for system updates and it just said there is an update and to start downloading it but I don't know which update version that is?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

First of all, no need to use 10D tot file anymore. Download and install 20A kdz front autoprime located here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/stock-h830-20a-rom-flashable-zips-imgs-t3511294
Once that's installed, set up your system and then follow the following guide to get TWRP an root:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/root-h830-running-30a-nougat-t3524322
After you have TWRP and root download the flashable 20F zip and install from TWRP (make sure to delete recovery from boot.p file after installing and also flash root). Here's the link to 20F:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/stock-h830-20f-rom-flashable-zips-imgs-t3592855
If you follow all of that, you will be on stock 20F, rooted and with TWRP. After that, I recommend checking out the following custom kernel and installing that and using magisk instead of SuperSU. Kernel located here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/jan-17-2017-20c-deodexed-kernels-t3539611
Hopefully that helps, if you need more help just ask.
Thanks so much for taking the time to write me this great information. I have a question about the (make sure to delete recovery from boot.p file after installing and also flash root). ???????? Is this explained clearly somewhere? I don't know what I should do.

After flashing the 20F version from TWRP, it creates a recovery from boot.p file in the system directory. If you don't delete this file before rebooting, you will lose TWRP. So, after doing the recowvery method to get root and TWRP and then after you flash the 20F from TWRP, after it's done flashing go to main menu of TWRP, click on mount, check system, go back to main menu, click advanced, click file manager and go-to system directory and click on the recovery from boot.p file and then delete. Now you can reboot without losing TWRP. Then you can flash SuperSU or magisk for root
Your Device software cannot be checked for corruption. Lock the bootloader
Thanks for the fast responses. After many hours of studying the posts and I finally got my LG G5 running on H830_20F_DeOdexed rom withh Asgard version 4.5 kernal and rooted with SuperSU v2.74.
However I keep getting the "your device software cannot be checked for corruption. lock the bootloader message upon starting up. see attachment
Does everyone get that message? Or is there a way to remove it?
I thought the Asgard kernal said it got rid of that?

You'll always have that message, no current way around it. Asgard kennel will allow you to pass safety net if you use magisk instead of SuperSU for root as it hides that the bootloader is unlocked from the system.

No. I said currently there is no way to get rid of that message unless you lock the bootloader and you can't do that after modifying the system (i.e. installing TWRP and root). I said magisk will allow you to pass safety net. All that does is allow you to use apps that won't work with root / unlocked bootloader. If you don't use apps like Android pay or other apps that don't work when rooted, it really isn't necessary to switch from SuperSU to magisk. Anyways, if you're interested in magisk use Google (or XDA search) and search magisk XDA.
