Root Android 4.0.x to 4.2.x in Minutes (Updated 11th September 2013)

What is Rooting?
Rooting enables all the user-installed applications to run privileged commands that are typically unavailable to the devices in their stock configuration. Rooting is required for more advanced and potentially dangerous operations including modifying or deleting system files, removing carrier- or manufacturer-installed applications, and low-level access to the hardware itself (rebooting, controlling status lights, or recalibrating touch inputs.) A typical rooting installation also installs the Superuser application, which supervises applications that are granted root or superuser rights. A secondary operation, unlocking the device's bootloader verification, is required to remove or replace the installed operating system. In contrast to iOS jailbreaking, rooting is not needed to run applications distributed outside of the Google Play Store, sometimes referred to as "sideloading". The Android OS supports this feature natively in two ways: through the "Unknown sources" option in the Settings menu and through the Android Debug Bridge. However some carriers, like AT&T, prevent the installation of applications not on the Store in firmware, although several devices (including the Samsung Infuse 4G) are not subject to this rule, and AT&T has since lifted the restriction on several older devices. As of 2012 the Amazon Kindle Fire defaults to the Amazon Appstore instead of Google Play, though like most other Android devices, Kindle Fire allows sideloading of applications from unknown sources, and the "easy installer" application on the Amazon Appstore makes this easy. Other vendors of Android devices may lock to other sources in the future. Access to alternate apps may require rooting but rooting is not always necessary. Rooting an Android phone allows one to modify or delete the system files which in turn can allow them to perform various tweaks, and use apps which require root access.

Frequently asked Questions AT&T LG G3 (D850)

[SIZE=+3]Frequently Asked Questions[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]LG G3
AT&T D850[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions in this device forum and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: How do I ask a question, so I'm not called a noob?[/SIZE]While you may see many questions asked in the Development section, PLEASE be aware this is not the place for questions.
Remember to use the search found at the top of the forum. There is also a search within each section. Example click on Q&A HERE. In the upper right you will now see two search's. At the top it says Search All Forums and a little further down you will see Search This Forum. Enter your search criteria in the Search This Forum to get info from this section. The search at the top will look through the entire forum.
Please read as much as you can prior to doing anything with your device.
Make sure your question has not been answered in the OP (Opening Post) of each section of Development
Search Q&A for threads that may have been started for a particular rom
[SIZE=+1]Q2: How do I update my stock firmware?[/SIZE]1) Turn on WiFi or data
2) Go to Menu > Settings > About Phone.
3) Select firmware update
[SIZE=+1]Q3: What is a ROM?[/SIZE]A rom is like a custom firmware image that is made by a Developer either entirely from scratch, or based off of the official firmware package. Some ROMs contain simple changes like changing icons and adding extra options to things, other more complicated ROMs can change the entire Android experience. Which one you will want to flash, will be entirely up to you. Read carefully, and make sure you understand what you are getting into before you flash.
[SIZE=+1]Q4: What is a Kernel?[/SIZE]A kernel is the heart of the device's OS. In simplest terms it’s a connection between your apps and your device’s hardware; i.e. the processor, RAM, etc. A custom kernel can dramatically change the way your device’s hardware performs… for the better and/or the worse]
[SIZE=+1]Q5: What is a Bootloader?[/SIZE]The bootloader is a program code that is executed before the device OS starts up, and that instructs that device to boot “normally”. The bootloader can come locked or unlocked from the manufacture. A unlocked bootloader will allow you to install custom ROMs & Kernels (as well as some other neat things) on your device.
[SIZE=+1]Q6: What does Root/Rooting mean?[/SIZE]Put simply, Rooting your device allows you, and/or rooted apps, to access parts of the Linux based Android software that is your OS, and that you would otherwise not be able to access. These tasks can be as simple and beneficial as backing up your system setting, or as complicated as installing custom ROMs, Kernels, etc.
[SIZE=+1]Q7: What is the purpose of rooting my device?[/SIZE]Please bear in mind, rooting can be dangerous and if done wrong "brick" your phone.
Rooting the phone is a decision made by individuals looking to improve upon the Android OS. There are many benefits, however it is done to customize the phone to it's full potential
[SIZE=+1]Q8: How do I root my LG G3? [/SIZE]Use one of the following methods, for KitKat or Lollipop.
Android version 4.x.x (KitKat)
[ROOT][IOroot] LG G3 4.4.2 Jailbreak
PurpleDrake-Lite!
[Root] Stump Root for LG Devices
Android version 5.x.x (Lollipop)
One click script
[ROM][STOCK][BUMP'd] LG D850 20F Lollipop 5.0.1 (+ extras)
[SIZE=+1]Q9: How do I remove root and return to factory stock. Why would I uninstall root?[/SIZE]The complete "Unroot" method, can be found here"
Removing root is normally a process used for a couple main reasons:
1) You've done something to the device and now it doesn't seem to be working.
2) You need to return the device or send it in for service.
[SIZE=+1]Q10: What is ADB (Android Debug Bridge) and what is it for?[/SIZE]Please read [GUIDE] ADB Workshop and Guide for everyone. There is much to learn, please view everything in the threads OP
[SIZE=+1]Q11: How to I enter Download Mode and Recovery?[/SIZE]1) You must switch off the device to start the process.
2) Press and hold the “Volume Up” and connect the USB cable from phone to PC.
3) Use the original USB cable. Other device USB cables may not be detected by the Computer. It is strongly recomended to use the original cable that came with the device.
4) Wait for the driver installation on PC.
5) You will now see the download mode screen on your phone.
6) Done
You can now do any process, such as, install stock ROM through your computer or laptop.
You can return to the normal mode by pressing and holding power button.
DO NOT UNPLUG THE DEVICE while the update process is running. This can damage your device!
[SIZE=+1]Q12: What is a "logcat" and how do I create one?[/SIZE]For setting up ADB see What is ADB (above) logcat allows us to log what the OS is doing, and possibly offer information if things are not working. its quite simple to create but may be difficult for most to understand. This is a tool a Developer may ask for in detecting issues your device may be encountering.
To use logcat
Code:
adb shell
logcat
To logcat to a certain file do
Code:
adb shell
logcat -d > /sdcard/whatevertexfileyoulike.txt
For a full explanation follow the link in What is ADB
[SIZE=+1]Q13: Is there an app that will help me create a logcat directly from my phone?[/SIZE]Yes, Apps for logcat can be found in Google play LINK Any one of these apps will work. It is recomended to use one with a good rating. YouTube also has step by step directions on how to use many logcat apps
[SIZE=+1]Q14: What does odexed and de-odexed mean and what is the difference between the two?[/SIZE]Please read HERE
[SIZE=+1]Q15: What is a Nandroid backup?[/SIZE]A Nandroid backup is a complete backup of your entire current operating system. It backs up the NAND flash, (this is the hard drive of your device). A Nandroid backup can mean the difference when you install a custom rom or when you play with the roots of your device, and something goes wrong.
[SIZE=+1]Q16: How do I make a Nandroid Backup?[/SIZE]In order to make a Nandroid backup, you must have a custom recovery installed.
From your phone, enter recovery mode and look for the ‘backup and restore’ click on backup and wait a few minutes until the process is done. It is best to save your Nandroid backups on the external SD card or on the PC to avoid erasing it by mistake. Performing a back up will NOT back up your external sd card and unless you choose to format your external sdcard, this will remain a safe place for this back up
[SIZE=+1]Q17: How do I restore a Nandroid Backup?[/SIZE]Enter recovery mode again and look for the ‘backup and restore’. Select restore and everything should go back to normal in a few minutes.
If you choose the ‘Advanced Restore’ option, you can select which component of the backup to restore – like the boot, system, data or cache.
Reboot system. Your system is now restored and is exactly same as the time when the backup was made.
[SIZE=+1]Q18: What is CWM Recovery (ClockWorkMod Recovery) and TWRP (TeamWin Recovery Project)?[/SIZE]They are recovery program's that allows you to backup / restore a full or partial system backup of your device. They also allow you to install flashable .zip files; which is one of the primary installation methods for custom ROMs. They also provides other features such as cache and delvik wiping, battery reset, and other processes. If you are thinking about flashing custom ROMs or just want a really good backup program, it's strongly advised that you to install one of these.
[SIZE=+1]Q19: Why does my battery drain so quick?[/SIZE]Please see HERE for possible steps that can help
[SIZE=+1]Q20: What is "Bloatware" (Bloated Software)?[/SIZE]Bloatware is all of the extra software applications that come pre-installed on your device (in addition to vanilla Android)–it can include any kind of application but some of the most notable examples are carrier apps and/or trial apps that you have to pay for after a certain time to keep using it. At best these apps can simply be taking up space on your phone, or at worst it can be running in the background without your knowledge and drain your battery
[SIZE=+1]Q21: How do I remove "Bloatware"?[/SIZE]Important: You will require root for the following process
Start by making a backup of all apps in your recovery.
Next read this tutorial, How to remove bloatware on AT&T LG G3
[SIZE=+1]Q22: How do I block "OTA" (Over The Air updates)?[/SIZE]Please follow these simple steps found here
[SIZE=+1]Q23: What is the best rom for my phone?[/SIZE]While you can ask this as many times as you wish, the only answer is: the one that works best for you! A rule of thumb is to visit a several rom thread's and view what is happening within these rom's. Eventually viewing a few roms will cause the urge to try one that looks good to you.
[SIZE=+1]Q24 What is the MD5, and what does it do?[/SIZE]It ensures that file's are downloaded correct and complete, in order to avoid issues when installing/using it.
[SIZE=+1]Q25 What does the term "Bump" mean?[/SIZE]

Coming from the nexus 5, these were some questions I had right away:
What does "Bumped" mean?
Can we root lollipop and if so, is it the same process? Do we still have to go back to kk to root?
Does anyone have the random dead spots in the digitizer where your touches aren't registered in certain spots for a while?

All done, except for "spots". I'm not aware of this issue on sock LG G3. If you have further info regarding this, I will gladly post what you find.

I just have a quick question Tony, after flashing a custom rom I plug the usb into my computer from the phone, and my computer doesn't recognize the phone anymore. I just want to drag and drop some music files, but how can I make the computer read the phone again ?
So far I've checked that Im on MTP
Thank you

Themes / Apps / Mods [MOD-ish] AsusVoLTE w/ Root Fix

This is a temporary solution to a pending pull request. This thread will be deprecated if or when the official release is updated.
I don't have the original signing key, but there is really no reason to attempt reverse engineering an app that's open source. Instead, it is signed with one of my own "Google Play certified" keys. Changes are below for anyone that would rather build and sign the application locally.
The caveat to using a different key is that the unofficial version cannot be installed directly over the official and vice versa.

Thanks a lot for your update.
I made some progress.
App is working perfectly, triggered the USB PDC mode as well. (Which I couldn't do earlier).
The older versions we used were not detecting the device.
Got the new QPST from here
The latest driver I could find was from here
Still stuck at exactly here;

The guide I follow is the one which worked for me on the ROGII - Which is here. Didnt require any MBN flashing, as I have a global device and just needed to use the existing VoWiFI Profile.
Any ideas on how to resolve the connection issue?
Maybe there are newer drivers?
EDIT:
Some information here shows PDC doesnt work anymore.

Thanks a lot, Made it through to the EFS Tools guide.
Did the mod to the EFSToolsdllconfig, Matched Ports.
Currently stuck here, Will keep you updated of the progress.
EDIT:
Tested with my ROG II and the command is working, So it's unable to read the ROG 5 for some mysterious reason.

I would test, but VoLTE works out of the box for Tencent / T-Mobile. No use trying to break it, especially if it's meant to survive updates / firmware.

At the point of giving up.
Stuck here;
and also I noticed that the Driver detection page keeps refreshing.
So I assume that neither of the tools we use are compatible with the ROG 5 yet, as they all link and work properly with my ROG II.

Thanks a lot for the responses;
(And thank you for your patience)
Here are my findings;
* The new EfsTools app is sorta broken, because it doesnt SIM Slot #2 Changes - Someone already reported it.
* Android 11 seems to block the PDC function, hence no ADB command can trigger it. However somehow your version of the AsusVoLTE app on first post here forcefully enters the Phone to PDC mode. This is a win, however the Device Manager keeps refreshing every second - so no connection can be made. I'm using Qualcomm Driver 1.0061 which seems to be the latest. I have used older .37 / .40 drivers as well, nothing changes the "frequent refresh" behavior.
* Not sure how this guy managed to get the ADB command to work on Android 11 in Zenfone, I tested it with both USB ports, multiple cables.. Nothing seems to trigger anything.
The code he suggested is
setprop sys.usb.config diag,diag_mdm,qdss,qdss_mdm,serial_cdev,dpl,rmnet,adb
* OnePlus folks have the same issue and they have managed to enable PDC support by taking the phone to Field Test Mode via "ADB reboot FTM" command. This doesnt work for asus. OnePlus Method.
* I tried putting the phone in EDL mode, however this doesn't enable any Diag or PDC port, it seems its only for flashing. So far I have no clue whether any engineering or FTM mode exists on Asus.
* Many forums have *#*# codes - I think I have tried all of them, none of them seems to make any new option appear in sim menus.
So .. still. No VoLTE, and therefore no 5G either.
If you have any ideas / guides I can try .. Much appreciated!

Enabling Diagnostic Mode
I wanna enable the diagnostic mode and try to see if i can add more LTE bands through QPST. I tried the generic command through adb shell and its not working:( Any suggestions are welcome.

Looks like it might be repeat information, though.

Thanks a lot once again,
Both the suggested codes have no effect. Tried with SU, without SU, without spaces..
Nothing triggers any any new drive installation.
So far, Only your App's (Fixed Asus VoLTE) Enable PDC function can enable this Port. However it doesn't stick, as it keeps refreshing every 2 seconds (probably causing efs tools not to detect the port). QPST can see the port, but doesnt identify what device it is.
I tried a module which allows SeLinux to go permissive, thinking that might help. Almost hard bricked as this has no TWRP. Luckily the combination of Magisk removal code, stock boot image, and safe mode helped me out.
Damn, never thought I'd struggle this much to get 5G working.

Anyone come up with anything recent that works? Struggling with Rog 5 to enter Diag mode and so forth.

You can enter diag mode using this commands

Install these usb drivers - https://gsmusbdriver.com/category/xiaomi/page/3
These are the commands -
Both of these work.
adb shelll,
su
setprop sys.usb.config diag,diag_mdm,diag_mdm2,qdss,qdss_mdm,serial_cdev,dpl,rmnet,adb
Either setprop command will work.
setprop sys.usb.config rndis,diag,diag_mdm,diag_mdm2,qdss,qdss_mdm,serial_cdev,dpl
In regards to the VOLTE issue still no go on A11 - I have been able to access the EFS partition but the ims_user_agent won't stick even if I write to it with in EFS explorer of EFs tools, it doesn't survive a reboot.

Thanks a lot once again,
Both the suggested codes have no effect. Tried with SU, without SU, without spaces..

Never found a solution. Tried a lot and asked a lot around here and eventually got rid of the phone.

My ROG 5S is now in a very weird situation while both SIM is working, baseband is there, but no IMEI ( but still can make and receive phone call, sms....etc ). Also, can't unlock bootloader since it has no IMEI

Question File Transfer using usb cable not detected after flashing Lineage OS

Have anyone tried usb file transfer from A12 to PC after flashing LIR OS? I cant see my phone in my PC even after enabling USB file transfer. It seems that Lineage OS is still buggy rn

I kept having similar issues but rebooting helped:

Looking for guidance on researching a SC9820E-based Android device with limited system access

Hi.
I have recently come across a device based on the Spreadtrum SC9820E chipset running Android 4.4 'KitKat.' However, there is virtually no information that could ever be found about this specific device.
The device is identified as "sp9820e_2h10_gz02e" when its MTP interface is connected to Windows.
Now. By 'limited access' I mean:
* No known method to access a Recovery/Fastboot interface
* Android Settings inaccessible
* Read-only MTP
* No touchscreen
* Status bar dropdown unavailable
* Virtually no software resource available
* Unable to install or launch any apps (effectively making the device an Android-based feature phone)
...
But on the plus side:
* Ownership over the device
* Access to a Gadget Serial interface
* Possible BootKey found
I would like guidance on extracting any useful information on researching the device, like a possible way to dump and flash an image from/to the eMMC, so that I could:
* enable ADB by modifying build.prop
* gain root access
Any response appreciated. Will provide any information if possible.

Run AIDA64 to get dev specs

There's a problem here that I forgot to mention: I am unable to install, or launch any applications except a limited set which only grants fundamental telecommunication.
Which sucks - AIDA64 was going to be a goal for me in this case, in order to actually to learn more about it.
I am currently focusing on dumping and flashing the boot and system partitions first to gain at least sufficient control over the firmware before I do anything else.
