Why my SPV5000 don't want 1.30 rom ?

Hi, i have a SPV5000 and i can put a lot of kind of 1.13 rom inside, like Qtek or Orange.
But impossible to put any 1.30 rom (orange, qtek french or WWE).
I've tried a lot of solution like "put the radio first" ... rest after.
Do you know if it's possible that my hardware version refuse this 1.30 rom?
I think the guy who sell me the spv sell me a pre-serie .
Thanks

The first question I want to ask is: How do you perform the upgrade? Do you use the No ID Tool? If not, try using it. Here is an instructions I made:
The file is extracted in your computer. Once you run the shipped.exe file, you need to go to:
My Computer
Your Drive (mine is Drive C)
Show the contents of this drive
Documents and Settings
Choose your folder name
Choose "TOOLS" from the menu bar
Choose "FOLDER OPTIONS"
Click on the "VIEW" tab
Click on "HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS"
YOU WANT TO SHOW ALL HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS
Now go to TEMP folder
Now you will notice a bunch of folders will show up, tons of them to be exact. What you need to do now is click on the shipped.exe file again and "LOOK" for the folder being created because that folder is what you want to copy. If you did not see it created, you have to manually open each folder and look for the files I listed below.
Assuming you found the folder, you will have these following files inside that folder:
ms_.nbf----------------------this file is responsible for EXT ROM Version
nk.nbf------------------------this file is responsible for Windows Mobile Version
radio.nbf---------------------this file is responsible for Radio Version
EnterBL
GetDeviceData
readme
ROMUpgradeUt
RUU.conf
RUU.dll
UI.dll
MaUpgradeUt_noID
If the file MaUpgradeUt_noID is not there. You need to get hold of a copy of this file as you need this.
There you have it, REMEMBER, you need to have the MaUpgradeUt_noID file plus all the rest of the file in one folder if you want to upgrade to the ENTIRE I-Mate ROM, QTEK, O2, or whatever ROM you want.
If you only want to upgrade to the radio version then you need to delete 2 files namely: "ms_.nbf" and "nk.nbf". Leave "radio.nbf" alone and click on the "MaUpgradeUt_noID" file to initiate the Radio installation. Basically those 3 files control what you want to update on your device.
Hope my instructions were clear enough for you. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your complete response
Of course i'm using the MaUpgradeUt_noID ... i have no error message during the process but at the end after the hard reset i have black screen.
and to try to only flash the radio I renames other files .
thanks
I steel don't enderstand ....

It won't hurt to try and update using Boot Loader Mode.
What do you mean "0.56"?

when I put my spv in bootloader mode, I can see on the screen :
on the top : USB
Botom of the screen V.0.56

You might be right. Your exec must be one of the earlier version. I remeber some time ago, someone asked the same question you did. Maybe someone else can help. Have you tried upgrading it using my instructions?

thank you again and of course I've tryed your method.
every thing works with previous version but not on 1.30
i spent 3 days on it .....

I believe you need to find out how to upgrade the "Serial USB" application on your Universal for the No_ID Tool to work. Other than that you probably need a version of the No_ID Tool that works at an earlier version of the "Serial USB" version that you have. I'm sorry too, if I didn't help.

this is the way to flash it!
Tools you need:
===============
- HexWorkshop from http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/-
the ROM of your choice
- Winzip or Winrar
- a valid UNL file for YOUR phone
Preparation:
============
a) install HexWorkshop and Winzip or Winrar on your pc
b) in explorer on pc, RIGHT click on the ROM of your choice and use: "Extract files to folder ..." from conext menu Now it will unpack all the files
c) in the new folder you will have ONE file like "HRUU_signed.NBH" (*.NBH) RIGHT click on the .NBH file and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from context menu
d) You'll see on the 5th row EXCA20000 ==> !!! make it EXCA***** (5 stars) and save the file
e) Now RIGHT click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from conext menu
Search for word "BsaD5SeoA" (without quotes, case sensitive)
You'll find it around address 0x3FC6C ==> !!! replace "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" (without quotes) and save the file
ROM-Update:
===========
1) take SIM card and SD card OUT of the phone
2) Connect the phone running windows ce to the pc (normal way).
3) Completely Unlock your phone using our unlocker <== REALLY IMPORTANT
4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The screen on the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most probably it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like it is!
5) After you closed the unlocker, attach usb cable again (phone has still white screen) 6) start (the modified) ROMUpdateUtility.exe
7) when update finished and device started you will get a message: "Data Crashed, contact service provider" (!NO PANIC!) ==> Simply fix this problem by running the unlocker again and this time select the key file normal way (full unlock process again). In case you have problems please indicate the step letter/number which is not clear/not working for you. If you REALLY do it STEP by STEP exact like described you will have no problem.
a thousand thanks to IMEI-CHECK~!!

just unzip the rom you downloaded and replace these two files

It says update utility is too old now.

I read the instructions again and now it worked.
Thanks for the help.

OMFG it worked on my S620! Thanks IMEICHECK!
Nice interface, and you can sync files now!

i tried this several times with no luck. i downloaded the two files and when i tried to run the romupdater prog nothing happens. the program will not start no matter how many times i try. any suggestions?

i think i got it to work now. i had downloaded the two files but had not copied them into the folder that had the extracted rom in it. i was getting stuck at the point where you pull cable out instead of selecting the unlock file. once i had already copied the files over i started all over again and when i got to the step where you disconnect and run the new romupgrade.exe i opened the file where the rom was and clicked the upgrade.exe file and the rest went very smooth and quick.
thanks to everyone that helped out!

but the beta rom is indeed unstable. i hope the final version will soon out!!

james_xl: what problems do you have with the rom?

"4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The screen on the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most probably it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like it is!"
I've been looking, but where is the unlocker program?

Hello,
you'll get the unlocker program with your imei-unlock-file from imei-check.co.uk.

Do you have a *.cap file (official Firmware)? If so, do the following
Download this.
Run "P535RomTool.exe -d6 AsusP535.cap" on command line.
Note 1: AsusP535.cap has to be in the same dir as P535RomTool.exe.
Note 2: If your file has another name, take the right one!
Copy the resulting GalaxyII.nb0 file to a clean SD Card.
Run ASUS.UnlockLangId.exe on your p535.
Perform power+photo+record+reset
Enjoy!

My guide for artemis USPL.. 23/10/2009

I decided to write this guide because I found difficult to run USPL because the files in USPL folders not work...
The procedure works on Windows 7 and Vista... On XP does not guarantee since I do not use again because in my opinion is outdated...
After this small beginning premise driving:
0 - first if the phone is locked and cannot boot exceptin boot mode, download an official rom, for example
http://rapidshare.com/files/60087606/HTC_P3300_WWE_3.13.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R.exe
and installing it. After that the phone should start... least to me it worked...
1 - Download the files for USPL.
The first folder http://rapidshare.com/files/284853186/arte_uspl.rar
and the second folder for the no size USPL http://rapidshare.com/files/284853603/arteUSPL-nosize-cmon.rar
2 – Unzip the .exe file of a ship original rom (A link can be found in section 0). Just click with the right to go on "Extract files" and save it on a place easily accessible... For example, the Desktop...
the following operation must be do with phone on wm home screen!!
3 - open the folder of the USPL first file and then go, "start_uspl.exe" after the operations in the DOS window, the phone turn on automatically with a monochrome screen that can be white (as in my case) or other colors ..
4 - Just close it appears ROMUpdateUtility...
5 - Go to the folder extracted from the official rom and replace the file "ruu_signed.nbh" with "RUU_USPL_signed.nbh" found in the first USPL folder...
6 - Join 'ROMUpdateUtility.exe "and do the requested operation...
7 - If the operation is successful at the end of the installation the phone will reboot itself...
8 - Open the second USPL folder that of no size USPL find the file "RUU_Signed.nbh" replaces in the original ROM folder instead of "RUU_USPL_signed.nbh" made in section 5... and let go, "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" and make the required operations as before...
9 - Now you can install the ROM that best suits you...
I hope to be helpful... And sorry for my bad english...
BYE

Thanks
Thank you very much, my Artemis have now WM 6.5.3

Working method to root the LG G4S (Model H735 / "LG G4 Beat")

Root your LG G4S (Model H735)
Tested on Andriod 5.1.1.
Thanks goes to @konsolen for sharing the method to open up the port (see appendix in this post) and to @dominik-p for his guide to determine dd parameters (you won't need this to root with the method described, but you can back up your phone if you're worried). And most importantly, thanks to the author of SuperSU for his excellent script updater-binary which worked pretty much out of the box, with only a few workarounds needed (which is what the instructions below do).
First, a few general notes:
The supersu.zip included in this package is version 2.46.
SuperSU can be downloaded here: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
If you want to use a new version, just put the zip file in this directory and rename it to "supersu.zip" (delete the old one in this package first of course).
The busybox binary in this package was used successfully to unzip in the LG G4s H735 (Android 5.1.1).
Some time it should maybe be ensured that this is the newest version. Same holds for Send_Command.exe and adb.exe (and attached libraries).
This script uses the "update-binary" script of the SuperSU package to install it on your phone.
The scripts I attached prepare for it to be called (hopefully) successfully.
Instructions to root
Preparation
You MAY want to create a backup of your system beforehand, in case things go wrong.
This is optional, so if you don't want to do this, you may still rely on the .kdz file (see Appendix below) to restore your phone if things go wrong.
You need to calculate the dd parameters and then backup your system partition into a .img file.
There is an excellent guide by @dominik-p for how to determine your individual dd parameters:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/how-to-determine-dd-parameters-lg-g4-t3184867
Keep a copy of your system.img somewhere safe, you can use it to restore
your system if something goes wrong.
Enabling developer options and getting the tools
First, enable developer / debugging mode on your phone:
Navigate to Settings > About Phone > scroll to the bottom > tap Build number seven (7) times.
You'll get a short pop-up in the lower area of your display saying that you're now a developer.
Then, go back and now access the Developer options menu, check 'USB debugging' and click OK on the prompt.
Note: You have to enable USB debugging before plugging your device in to the computer. Unplug device then try to enable USB debugging.
On your computer, install Install and Use ADB (the Android Debug Bridge Utility). Also, download LG Flash Tool.
You can find out how to do both by searching google for it.
Step 1.
Connect your phone via USB (not in download mode yet, just normal).
Then, run Init_Root.bat in order to copy the essential files over to internal storage.
You may do this either by 1) double clicking the file, or 2) executing it from the windows command line.
For Option 2): Open a command line in the folder where you extracted this package. To do this, hold shift while right clicking in the folder opened in the Windows Explorer and select "Open command window here". Then, type
Init_Root.bat
Step 2.
Reboot your phone in download mode and ensure it has opened the port to send commands in download mode.
The port is open if it's displayed on the phone's screen in green letters, like
COMX
(with a number instead of X).
On my LG H735 it was necessary to use "LG Flash Tool 2014" http://lgflashtool.com/ to open the port. So if you don't have the green letters, see instruction pasted below (appendix) on how to open the port.
Step 3.
Open a command line in the folder where you extracted this package. To do this, hold shift while
right clicking in the folder opened in the Windows Explorer and select "Open command window here".
Open a command shell to your phone by typing (replace X with the number displayed on your phone) by typing:
Send_Command \\.\COMX
You should be set to root if the following works:
Typing "ls" returns a long list of file and folder names.
Typing "id" should give you someting like that:
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) context=u:r:recovery:s0
The important bits are the "(root)" uid and gid.
If any of the above is not the case, it will not work, you may search for help in the forum.
Step 4.
Execute the commands below (without the numbering of course).
1. mv /data/local/tmp/busybox /sbin/busybox
2. chmod 755 /sbin/busybox
3. mkdir /tmp
4. mkdir /tmp/supersu
5. /sbin/busybox unzip /data/local/tmp/supersu.zip -d /tmp/supersu
6. mv /data/local/tmp/supersu.zip /tmp/supersu/
7. sh /tmp/supersu/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary dummy 1 /tmp/supersu/supersu.zip
(Note: Not all commands above may be needed, but this is the conservative approach)
Recommended:
Do sanity checks to see if it's doing its job as expected.
After command 2, type the command ls -l /sbin/busybox to check for sanity.
It must return a line like this (with your own date and time):
-rwxr-xr-x shell shell 1048328 <date> <time> busybox
Command 5 must print several lines containing "inflating" messages, similar to this:
Archive:
inflating: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
...
Command 7 prints lines like this, and other status messages afterwards:
**************
SuperSU installer
**************
...
Step 5.
Your phone should now be rooted if it all worked ok.
You may now type
LEAVE
to reboot your phone.
Happy rooting!
Troubleshooting
If it doesn't work, for example you phone may be stuck on the boot process displaying the LG logo, then you can use Flash Tool to restore your phone. Use instructions below (how to boot the phone into download mode), but don't pull the USB cable, and just let it run its course. This should restore your phone.
If for some reason this hasn't worked, you may try to "dd" back your system .img which you may have created in the preparation step.
Appendix
How to boot the phone into download mode and open the port
a) Boot the LG G4s in download mode. To do this, first switch it off completely and disconnect USB cable. Then, hold the Volume Up button, and while you keep holding it, plug in the USB cable.
b) Start the LG Flash tool and load the .kdz for your phone. We won't actually complete the flashing, you only need it to start the process, but you should use the kdz for your phone nonetheless.
You can check for your kdz on this link, pasting your IMEI instead of YOUR-IMEI in the link below.
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=YOUR-IMEI
I did not find any for mine there, but I did find it on
http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/
Which brought me to this link where I could find mine:
http://pkg02.azure.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW703UV132GQAUP7A0ED99N/H73510c_00.kdz
c) Now this is very important: Watch your phone while the .kdz is being flashed by the flash tool.
(the flash tool may complain about error connecting to the update server, but you can ignore this with "ok").
As soon as the green letters show up, UNPLUG THE USB CABLE!
The percentage on your phone has to be 0% still (never mind about percentage in the flash tool, it may not even display it).
Then, kill the Flash Tool with the Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+alt+delete).
When it's closed, you can plug your phone back in.
It's now in download mode with open port.

This is optional, so if you don't want to do this, you may still rely on the .kdz file (see Appendix below) to restore your phone if things go wrong.
You need to calculate the dd parameters and then backup your system partition into a .img file.
There is an excellent guide by @dominik-p for how to determine your individual dd parameters:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/how-to-determine-dd-parameters-lg-g4-t3184867
Keep a copy of your system.img somewhere safe, you can use it to restore
your system if something goes wrong.
Step 1.
Connect your phone via USB (not in download mode yet, just normal).
Then, run Init_Root.bat in order to copy the essential files over to internal storage.
You may do this either by 1) double clicking the file, or 2) executing it from the windows command line.
For Option 2): Open a command line in the folder where you extracted this package. To do this, hold shift while right clicking in the folder opened in the Windows Explorer and select "Open command window here". Then, type
Init_Root.bat
Step 2.
Reboot your phone in download mode and ensure it has opened the port to send commands in download mode.
The port is open if it's displayed on the phone's screen in green letters, like
COMX
(with a number instead of X).
On my LG H735 it was necessary to use "LG Flash Tool 2014" http://lgflashtool.com/ to open the port. So if you don't have the green letters, see instruction pasted below (appendix) on how to open the port.
Step 3.
Open a command line in the folder where you extracted this package. To do this, hold shift while
right clicking in the folder opened in the Windows Explorer and select "Open command window here".
Open a command shell to your phone by typing (replace X with the number displayed on your phone) by typing:
Send_Command \\.\COMX
You should be set to root if the following works:
Typing "ls" returns a long list of file and folder names.
Typing "id" should give you someting like that:
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) context=u:r:recovery:s0
The important bits are the "(root)" uid and gid.
If any of the above is not the case, it will not work, you may search for help in the forum.
Step 4.
Now you have two options:
#Step 4, Option 1 (recommended to try)
Just run the script and you should be done.
Type:
sh root_lgh735.sh
The script contains all commands I (and other people) used to successfully root the phone.
However we have all used option (2) below, so the script itself has not been tested yet,
though it's very simple (feel free to open it with a text editor to look at it).
You can try to run it, and if it's not doing what's expected you can still go to Option 2
and fix things up.
It will have worked if:
It prints several lines containing "inflating" messages, similar to this:
Archive:
inflating: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
...
It prints 3 lines like this, and other status messages afterwards:
**************
SuperSU installer
**************
....
If it has done that, reboot your phone and you should be set.
If not, do the commands manually as in Option 2.
Please: If the script worked for you, report it in this thread, so I can simplify these instructions here! Thanks for your help :cyclops:
#Step 4, Option 2:
Execute the commands directly (proven to work on several phones).
Type the commands below (without the numbering of course).
1. mv /data/local/tmp/busybox /sbin/busybox
2. chmod 755 /sbin/busybox
3. mkdir /tmp
4. mkdir /tmp/supersu
5. /sbin/busybox unzip /data/local/tmp/supersu.zip -d /tmp/supersu
6. mv /data/local/tmp/supersu.zip /tmp/supersu/
7. sh /tmp/supersu/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary dummy 1 /tmp/supersu/supersu.zip
(Note: Not all commands above may be needed, but this is the conservative approach)
Recommended:
Do sanity checks to see if it's doing its job as expected.
After command 2, type the command ls -l /sbin/busybox to check for sanity.
It must return a line like this (with your own date and time):
-rwxr-xr-x shell shell 1048328 <date> <time> busybox
Command 5 must print several lines containing "inflating" messages, similar to this:
Archive:
inflating: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
...
Command 7 prints lines like this, and other status messages afterwards:
**************
SuperSU installer
**************
...
Step 5.
Your phone should now be rooted if it all worked ok.
You may now type
LEAVE
to reboot your phone.
Happy rooting!
Troubleshooting
If it doesn't work, for example you phone may be stuck on the boot process displaying the LG logo, then you can use Flash Tool to restore your phone. Use instructions below (how to boot the phone into download mode), but don't pull the USB cable, and just let it run its course. This should restore your phone.
If for some reason this hasn't worked, you may try to "dd" back your system .img which you may have created in the preparation step.
Appendix
How to boot the phone into download mode and open the port
a) Boot the LG G4s in download mode. To do this, first switch it off completely and disconnect USB cable. Then, hold the Volume Up button, and while you keep holding it, plug in the USB cable.
b) Start the LG Flash tool and load the .kdz for your phone. We won't actually complete the flashing, you only need it to start the process, but you should use the kdz for your phone nonetheless.
You can check for your kdz on this link, pasting your IMEI instead of YOUR-IMEI in the link below.
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=YOUR-IMEI
I did not find any for mine there, but I did find it on
http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/
Which brought me to this link where I could find mine:
http://pkg02.azure.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW703UV132GQAUP7A0ED99N/H73510c_00.kdz
c) Now this is very important: Watch your phone while the .kdz is being flashed by the flash tool.
(the flash tool may complain about error connecting to the update server, but you can ignore this with "ok").
As soon as the green letters show up, UNPLUG THE USB CABLE!
The percentage on your phone has to be 0% still (never mind about percentage in the flash tool, it may not even display it).
Then, kill the Flash Tool with the Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+alt+delete).
When it's closed, you can plug your phone back in.
It's now in download mode with open port.

Have twpr or cwm recovery to install xposed??

I can confirm is working on LG G4 LG-H735P (Latin America version), thanks!

anyone tried updating? just got a system update notification from my phone lol dk if i should update now or not

Good question! I didn't try it yet. Think it should be ok, but if it isn't, you can just root again I guess

I could not root my phone, what kdz file did you use??

Backup problems
Hello,
Coming from a Nexus 4, I bought a G4S last month.
I want to do my first root in order to manage the storage, like jen.magnolis talked about.
In case of a problem (bootloop or brick), I need to be able to restore. I don't really mind about restoring my datas, a factory reset would be enough.
But I don't undestand how i can get the system.img without being rooted ? It seems that I can get a "backup.ab" file using adb. Will it be enough to restore in case of brick ?
I also looked about kdz files, but mine doesn't seem to be available. I have a LGH735 (buyer = FRA, suffix = AFRATS, ...). Will it work if I use the one you provided in your post ?
Thanks for your help !

I got the same model phone, but I can't find the .KDZ file for it anywhere. Could you post a link to the one you used please?

Excellent step-by-step guide. Should set an example for other "step-by-step guides" which exclude crucial information ("everybody knows lösfhgaeilurhg has to by typed between these steps here, I shall not mention it" )
Thanks a ton Worked on my LG G4S a.k.a H735 like a charm.
Cheers!

"phone appears to be rooted, will not be updated" - Hiding root did not help, any simple suggestions but total unrooting?
Wanted to upgrade from 10c to 10d...
Cheers!

Doubts.
Hi everyone!
I just cant find my .kdz file! The phone i want to root its a G4 H735AR, im wondering if there are some compatible .kdz that i can use. Im affraid it might get bricked or something...
BTW i¨ve tried the rootworm.bat method and it didnt work. And when i try to open the COMX port, the lg flash tool always crushes and shuts down.

Works!

So, i made it! It works in the H735AR!! The problem with the flash tool was that i was trying to use it without any KDZ file!! I've used @konsolen .kdz and achieved to open ports, and then continue with the rest of the tutorial without trouble.
Thank you so much! Its a great phone, but with so little internal memory is a waste.

It's working in H736P! Thank you só much!

For people in Brazil that has H736P, to open ports, is necessary the kdz file to use in LG Flash Tool.
Galera do Brasil, consegui rootear o LG G4 Beat usando esse tutorial porém tive que baixar o arquivo kdz pro H736P pra executar o LG Flash Tool. Cuidado ao usar o LG Flash Tool, assim que aparecer a porta COM na tela do telefone, arranca o cabo USB do computador.
