Hello,
Thank you for the nice thread.
I have 3 questions :
1) Does the phone need to be unlocked before starting ?
2) If no for Q1, will it be unlocked after the operation ?
3) If yes for Q2, ii it possible to relock later ?
Thank you.
Laurent

just a few questions @abadan
1. if you have tested it on your tab, what gives you assumption that it may work on PHONE?
2. why are you providing the third party source (placed in the domain greenroid.com, belonging to the Iran), instead of the original domain kingoapp.com, which is Chinese (and was several times claimed as suspicious?
IMHO, the app itself was several times mentioned as stealing the IMEI number, first.
Secondly, only the original source download gives more or less assumption that the app is (RELATIVELY) safe and updated to latest version.
Finally, the Chinese source of app was, as I mentioned previously, claimed several times to be unsafe. I'd be careful before I'd decide to trust another "very trustworthy" source...

No point using something like this... plus, it has been mentioned many time here on XDA, anyone who looking for an easy root solution should try the safe root first... no hassle and takes few min to get it done

Questions?
Since i am not the creator of Towelroot then i can not answer any questions relate to it, feel free ask your questions on Towelroot thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157

I can't install tr.apk on my device! Why?
"Unknown sources" and usb debugging = V

Perhaps antivirus?

Doesn't work on any kernel version past June of last year. Should put that in your OP since this is widely known. It will never be updated to work either because geohot was picked up by Google to help them find the exploits and patch them.

Flash an older kernel with Odin, root with towelroot, flash the current kernel. That's how we've all been rooting the T530 and T530NU (and I'm sure other models too).

Yes that's how we do it on the AT&T version of Note 3 and S5 also, I was just talking about the instructions in OP not specifying that as a step.

I think it needs camera permission as the infrared sensor is used for heart rate detection afaik.

Nope, forgot to mention that I've tried to enable camera permission too but no difference.

i will help you
okay i will try to help you bcuz this happened to me once with my s5 (rooted) and once with my friend's s6(not rooted) :
so basically if your phone is rooted i think you can't fix it (i tried with my s5 )
and if it is not rooted you can try 2 things :
1- go to settings application manager and find s health and click on storage then clear cache and clear data then force stop and restart your phone .
and if this didn't work :
2- you will need a factory reset(and don't forget to back up your important stuff)

hope i helped

Tnx for your time mate. I have rooted phone. I'll try to install superman rom (here from xda) for a weekend (only then I have free time) and will see what happens

Question What other modules/etc should I get while rooted?

Just got OP9 and I'm wondering what other things I'm potentially missing out on now that I'm rooted on my OP9 (Came from OP5)
Things I've done so far are pretty basic, installed Smali for spoofing in pokemon go, I got that working, I'm also using vanced and Energized.
What else do you think I should take advantage of with root?

If you want to use Xposed and its modules, get Riru And LSPosed. Also Busybox, systemless hosts, ButtetLimits, TPD & OPPerf Disabler
I like Gravity Box in the Xposed modules.

Im using iOS 14.5 emoji module,Product Sans font,OOS Call recorder, Riru and LSPosed.It's basically for customisation.

Mind telling me in short what I can do with Riru and LSPosed? Or rather, what do you use them for? Customisation is always nice

There are so many modules you can use. Theres more modules than just the ones in the repository. I use probably 20 of them. Also a great one is GMS-Doze. Which isnt in the repo.
I will upload it here:
gms_v1.8.3.zip

I use Instaproof, some tweaks for instagram.I dont know very technical what Riru or LSPosed do but it's another way for apps to gain root acces.

Heres what I got installed right meow

Any universal root that works on all phones? (Stuck rooting LG H486 KitKat)

I have exhausted every root method that might work for the LG486 and nothing works properly. The most I can get is super user appearing in the app list but not properly installed. It wasn’t a very common phone so it’s understandable that there is no working route.
My end goal is to edit edit build.prop, so that android 4.4.2 appears to apps to be android 6.0. I need to install a certain app on the phone.
All the options found via Google for root either do not work or lead to broken file links. I have also tried Universal options like Kingo Root and Androot but they don't work at all.
Is there any universal root that I could try which is supposed to work with any phone?
Or is anybody able to help me route this phone? I’m happy to pay for assistance. Thanks.

Simply editing build.prop doesn't help, IMO, because the files that make the Android OS ( read: libraries ) mostly changes from SDK version to SDK version, means apps compiled for Android 4.4.4 may not working properly on 4.4.4 onwards, and reverse.

Probably won't... but might. I'm open to other solutions if you have any.

Probably some pop ups will emerge if you fake that Android version...
And that app you wanted to change probably has some reason why it needs be that 6+ ...

Unfortunately this only half worked on the LG D486 (Wine Smart).
SU is installed but reports "There is no SU binary installed"... and RootChecker confirms not fully rooted. I can't edit root items such as build.prop.
However on the download boot screen, it did say in small red text, "ROOTED" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is anyone able to help fully root the LG D486?

Okay, you tested it already... maybe you should try it by hand then...
To see what's happening... lglaf.py might work if send_command.exe doesn't...
