[Q] Zact Mobile - root & flashing

I am creating this thread because I have not found another ZACT rooting/flashing thread yet and I am hopping that a dev will pop in and start working on this, or help walk me through what I can do to get the ball rolling. Check out my first thread, The future of phones is coming
I received 2 phones a few weeks ago now. I wasn't thinking and just jumped the gun and updated to 4.3 on one of them (the other is my fiances and have instructed her NOT to do the update). I am unable to cf-auto-root with the sprint s3 method, so no root. I read if I get the recovery.img from the phone I can post in on Chainfire's cf-auto-root page and he can make a cf-auto-root for the zact s3. I can not get a recovery.img to send in because it is my understanding that to adb pull the recovery I need root. cant get root because I dont have a recovery.img?
I spoke with zact team members a few times. I told them I was having issues with 4.3 and wanted to go back to 4.2.2. A few people were helpful at first. Unfortunately, they are so small, I seem to keep running into the same people, and then they stop trying to help. What I have learned is, they "have confirmed with there Team, that if you process the software downgrade, the Zact software will not work on your phone. This is based upon how our software interfaces with the firmware." SO, that being said we would need to find out what software they have installed and have it integrated into any roms made. Does that sound right?
They also WILL NOT share the MSL. Which is another reason I want root. I still plan on cloning the phone as a backup if I have issues with flashing. but without the msl, i cant change the qualcomm settings to connect to dfs/cdma to back clone it.
I am not a developer, I could use some direction. I feel ZACT will start growing once people realize how much you can save compared to a sprint plan. I have noticed that I get better service then a lot of the people I work with. I am on prl version 24017, which I have not seen before either.

WARNING!! If you process that downgrade, you will trip KNOX security, then your phone will be bricked. Also, ESN cloning is illegal to talk about on XDA.
sent from my GS3

I will trip knox security? What exactly does Knox do, and what do you mean by that? I though Knox just makes it read 0x1 on the odin screen if you flash now? If thats what you mean, I already did that by flashing cf-auto-root. Its my understanding that the boot loader is the issue when downgrading. but on this site, they say that only at&t users should not try it, and technically this is a sprint phone I believe. Just with added software.
If I am wrong please let me know.
Also, I think you mean that it is not acceptable, not illegal. Illegal would imply I could get arrested for commenting about phone cloning on this site. And although cloning your personal phone for your own uses is not illegal, I will not mention it again on these forums. Thanks for the warnings.

Also, I guess I am not necessarily trying to downgrade, just trying to find out what needs to be done so that I can flash or ANYTHING to get away for 4.3 issues. Since the upgrade, my fiance sent me an mms and it has popped up in my messages 5 times, so it looks like she keeps sending it, but I am unable to open it because it wont download.
The more important issue is root. I want to be able to use my root apps to backup, re install my old backups from my last s3, and attempt to get my msl to try and fix the mms issue.

Today has been a productive day so far... using Skunk Ape1's root method "[Tutorial] Rooting the Sprint GalaxyS3 the Easy Way" I was able to get twrp recovery installed. (I wasn't able to do this before because prior the only method i knew was to go to goo.manager and that didn't recognize my device) SO, with twrp installed, i flashed the zip file from Skunk Ape1's root method. Following the instructions to the T everything seemed to work fine. After reboot, I had a knox message popped up, saying "SECURITY NOTICE: Unauthorized access to a secured area has..." I relive that root has been installed but knox is keeping locked up still. I am going to look for this mysterious "Knox remover script" that you will see in the first post on that page, then I will attempt root again.

I have officially given up on root currently. I have tried every root method I can find, my flash counter is somewhere around 13. I was able to use the knox removal script from here If anyone has suggestions for root, I am open to ideas. Thanks.

Finally did it
So, today i was just realizing the lack of space i had on my phone from downloading stuff and photos so i wanted to clean it up. I moved all the important stuff off, and though it would be a good time to factory reset and just have a clean new phone to start over again. ( I missed flashing and this was the closest thing I had) So, during the process of factory resting i wanted to clean everything so i click data, cach, internal external.. system.. yeah well bad idea. my phone rebooted and go stuck on the boot. So i restarted in recovery and reset again and this time is warned me that there was no OS installed... F*ck... Zact customer service wont give me the "custom software" that they installed so im screwed.
After hours of thinking and trying to do stupid odd ball things that i knew wouldnt work. I downloaded a sprint stock 4.3 tar file and odined to my phone. started up fine. works great. so... what zact said about flashing roms bricking this phone was BS.. the only custom thing i have seen was in the zact mobile app that came installed had some extra features used to send usage info and reboot stuff for zact troubleshooting. so with stock sprint rom, and zact mobile app im back to my phone working. AND with that, im going to move on to the rooting, and flashing of this piece of crap. Ill be back with more details later.

I have installed CyanogenMod with full root!!!
well first off, i had the CMinstaller set up but it did not recognize my device so after a while i decided to attempt to cf_auto_root, which seemed to work but failed root checker. I wanted to try another method. I had CMinstaller still up* I was attempting THIS method to root. I was using philz_touch_6.15.4-d2spr.tar.md5 that I flashed using Odin 3.07 (that I have had for a long time on my pc. so google that one)https://www.google.com/search?q=odin+3.07&oq=odin+3.07&aqs=chrome..69i57.3464j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 After i installed Philz touch, i noticed CMinstaller noticed my phone and started downloading system files. I continued what i was doing with the root method and installed DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.0 and UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93 just as CMinstaller finished its download, so i said what the hey, and clicked install. next thing i knew i was running cyanogenmod with full root!!! please someone else verify this and let me know if you get it going too.

Stock 4.3 with root
so yeah, just for to check i flashed back to stock 4.3 (not sure who uploaded it but it works) It does have knox so be warned. I then followed the root method in my previous post and it worked fine. i have stock with root. If someone can try it without using that tar file, let me know. Cant really go back once you do it so i cant try the root method with the zact "custom software" myself. Let me know what you find out. Hope this helps someone.

Thanks
Thanks for posting your struggles and successes. With Zact shutting down I was curious about what I could do with my kids' S3s if I don't like the Sprint plan that they are rolling us into. I may be trying this in a couple weeks...

What I would do and have done for my fiance and myself, get on Zact.com live chat ask them to Deactivate your phones. and give them the DEC on the back of the phones. It takes about one min for it to complete per phone. Then go on over to Ting.com and start up a new account with them using your old zact phone. Ting also lists the MSL that i struggled so much trying to get. I would recommend flashing a stock rooted rom debloated, to get all that ZACT crap off your phones. and start out fresh.

SM-P600

Hi All
Let me start with few good things here You guys are amazing helping and providing tweaks for us:good:
I am Nexus user. I have Installed Custom Recovery, Flashed ROMs and rooted my Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. This is my First Samsung Tablet. I have waited enough for Nexus 10 (2). I finally bought SM-P600.
I was trying to find an Guide with links for Unlocking bootloader and Updating firmware and then flash Custom recovery for this but coudnt figure it out
I have been reading lots of things about Knox and counters related to it.
Can anyone Please help me find answers straight.
1) Any Rooting and Custom Recovery tools or ADB commands without Hitting the KNOX counter {Just In case IF I wanted to return it} If not then which one you recommend ?
By the Way I found few posts related to Rooting Which has confused me more. I used to use Chainfire SUROOT:
Rooting using CF-AUTO Root
Universal Root de la Vega
2) If I Root and want to use Stock ROM of SM-P600 will all apps work normally or any known issues with it ?
3) Is Odin any tool which everyone is taking about ? I am not sure about it Can you provide any links to its dev for more info. Found it about in a Post to return to STOCK ?
4) Are these ROMS and apps Odexed or Deodexed ROM?
5) Any Dependencies for Firmware and with any of the above questions. I mean In Universal Root I saw they were talking about certain version of firmware. Also Should I update the latest firmware and do a Nandriod backup ?
6) Also read that once KNOX counter goes up, I wont get any OTA ? My Plan is I will use it till next Nexus and will give it to parents with stock ROM. If I am using I can always use an Custom Rom and get updates. But for parents I want to return it to stock so that they can easily update when OTA is available.
I would like to make one more suggestion to MOD's Please Pin the Guides like the Rooting and stuff like Return to Stock which are quite common and useful so that its easy for newbies( aka for Samsung) like me.
Thanks
Zaib.

1. This is not really a single question with a single answer I think vaguely what you are asking is if you can root without tripping knox?
Nope. Not at this time.
2. If you use CF-Auto-Root you'll likely find that the vast majority of applications keep working without issue. Of those that don't, a handful you can manage back to a working state with various tweaks, but there are a few that are probably gone for good. You can basically kiss all the Samsung hub apps goodbye, these will start claiming they are not supported in your country even if they were working perfectly prior to rooting, some may continue working for a short time after but eventually something leaks and your access is cut. Screen mirroring will no longer work though this can be fixed with a small zip file flash. OTA updates are also gone.
Forget all the talk about 'triangle away' fixing any of this, it hasn't for me.
3. Odin is a tool that is able to flash firmware files or parts thereof to your device. Heimdall is an alternative suite of applications, while there is a GUI for it, it seems fairly hit and miss on Linux these days, I've never had much luck with it, on the other hand the command line tools work perfectly fine.
Once you trip Knox, there's no turning back! You won't lose your warranty in any meaningful way, but you may end up having to argue about it and drag in government regulators to get your tablet repaired free of charge depending on the dealer response.
4. I don't think this is particularly relevant to the SM-P600. My subjective opinion would be to stick with the bog standard Samsung ROM. If you want cool themes there are a multitude of launchers, Xposed takes care most other things you might ever care to tweak.
5. You have one choice. CF-Auto-Root. Backups are healthy.
6. True, but you'll still be able to flash via Odin so it doesn't really mean much of anything. Once you trip Knox, you can also kiss OTA updates goodbye as well.

How are you flashing TWRP, through recovery or Odin?

how do i root my LG G3 d855 - without changing timers etc ( safest way)

Hi all
I recently purchased an LG G3 mobile and it is running lollipop 5.0 on o2 and I would like to change a few things 1. change the colour of that orange top in the messaging app - people have told me I need root for this so my question is:
What is the best and safest root process for me to use as I have never rooted before and havnt got a clue, I just do not want to break the mobile as its brand new. I don't want it to change any counters, timers, warrantys or do anything else and especially I do NOT want it to stop me getting OTA android updates
thank you hope somebody can help me cheers

Hi there.
As soon as you root any phone you immediately lose your warranty. However if you ever need to send it for repair, you can easily revert the process these days.
LG, unlike Samsung, has not what you call "timers" meaning a record if you have rooted and how many times you have flashed your phone so you are pretty safe on that aspect as LG cannot tell. Even on Samsung these days there are ways to revert the so called "timers" to null.
Once you root your phone you will also lose the capability of OTA's but as I said this can be easily undone...you unroot, update the OTA and root again. (if a root method is available for that specific version of OTA which usually is and if not it comes out usually in a few days/weeks)
Hope this clarifies your doubts.
***One word of advice: read, read and read. Rooting and flashing custom ROMS is fun and custom ROMS are way better than stock. Just take your time to learn and don't be in a hurry. This way nothing will happen to your phone.
Hope this helps you and if I did please press the thanks button.

thank you very much for your info, so I shall just use the link posted about and root that way. Although I DO NOT intend to use a custom rom. one of the reasons I want to root is to get rid of the stupid Mcafee app that comes on the LG G3

Yes mate just follow that tutorial and you will be alright. Don't forget to read well first so that you will know what you are doing and nothing wrong will happen.
You don't have to install custom ROMS though. There are an immense amount of things you will be able to do to your phone once rooted.
Enjoy!

S6 Edge Root

Hi guys i havent been in the forums in a while and i thoght about rooting my device cause i formatted my phone and lost a bunch of pics that i want to recover. long story short i have tryied many apps and none seem to be able to recover the deleted pics. the only one so far that people claim that can do it is DiskDigger or something like it, but for it to fully work it needs ROOT. so my problem is that unless there is a 100% way of getting my deleted pics which at this point i doubt, then lets please proceed.
Since i need to ROOT im gonna give you guys my phone specs so you guys can get a picture and advice me better cause i dont want to mess up this phone cause is my daily driver.

is everything here ok? does anything seem ok in my phone? is it rootable?
ok first of all let me say that i do not care about the pay methods but i do care about losing other functionality like fingerprint scanner of LTE and less battery life and stuff like that. mine last me about a whole day with moderate use and some gaming in between.
i want basically to ROOT my phone and if possible and available without tripping the cursed knox so i can if available intall a custom recovery so i can backup and restore my phone from (on that actually works) cause i coulnt for the life of my phone NEVER restore from an image done by my S4 with TWRP or i never knew how to do it cause when i tryied it to fully wipe ended up having to reinstall the full firmware and rooting from scratch.
Also if available which apps and in which directories can be frozen and which ones can be unistalled cause im tired of facebook and instagram and Tmo useless crapware.
Sorry for the long and winded speech but this phone is almost a $1000 and i dont have insurance anymore and if knox tripped samsung wont fix or exchange.
thanks in advanced
have a nice day
sorry for the length again

Apparently you have done some reading (and if not, start reading) because you are mentioning all or most of the issues that some folks are experiencing with this phone when attempting to root with latest firmware updates. ( Not to mention the bricks. )
At first release it was possible with little consequences but that changed in a hurry with updates and with every update it becomes harder and more dangerous to root safely.
There is very little going on in development, just some rehashed versions of the old firmware and in the international forum there are some roms that lose a lot of features you want.
If you really need and rely on your expensive phone and need all features working, leave it stock.
As for your lost images, well your going to have to use your imagination and try to remember what they were.
I was a diehard rooter with all my devices until I met up with this Samsung 6Edge, I love the phone and am a big fan of Samsung so I'm sticking with stock debloated for now, I'm learning to live "stock" and enjoying my phone with all features working properly.

How do you debloat if you don't have root? are you just disabling the bloatware apps?

Yes, disabling all and any bloatware that gives you the option to disable.
When my phone is sitting idle it goes into 99% deep sleep.
With light use I'll get 30 + hours from a charge.
I don't subscribe to Facebook or any of those social media apps and for games I have a Tab2 running CM. I basically use my phone for calls, messages and photos and a couple of forums.

I agree with @PanchoPlanet to an extent. There are 2 ways to root the S6 Edge right now. One works just fine with no issues. I have been rooted since I bought the device before Samsung Pay came out. The other way that people have been using to avoid tripping knox will screw up your phone.If you don't care about Samsung Pay then you can simply use CF-Auto root like always. then flash TWRP after you root. The only thing that has made rooting unsafe is the people trying to avoid knox. I keep posting everywhere that people need to stop worrying about knox. Unless you are in a security job or a government job or you want to use Samsung Pay then knox is absolutely of no concern. People worried about getting their device fixed or returning it because of the knox trip, I have read many people were able to without problems.

This root method works just fine --> Here
Except I use the newest Unikernel --> Here

The baseband doesn't matter the build does. It does work with the build you are on.

Ok so, so far what i have done is just odin the UNIKERNEL which also rooted my phone. Everything is working nice exept for titanium which i already asked in another thread. So my next question is: is it safe to factory restore my phone from the phones menu -->backup and reset-->factory data reset <--
Is this safe and will it still remain rooted so i can install titanium and a custom recovery so i can do a full image?
Can someone plz answer today to see if im able to get my phone up and running by tonite?
Thanks again and in advanced.

Just install TWRP and flash SuperSU.

So there is noway to do this without tripping knox?

bump!

No.
Let me add on a bit to my initial response. Rooting the phone will trip Knox. Has been this way for quite some time. Discussed across many thread here and elsewhere.
Now the question comes up as to what do you lose by tripping Knox? Samsung Pay will never work for you. Android Pay may or may not work. Many people have been able to get it working at least in part, but disable Root (via SuperSu) when using Android Pay. I don't use either of those, so I don't care.
Then the question comes up if this voids warranty. The answer is only if you say "Hey, I rooted my phone and then broke something!" If you need warranty for a physical defect, go back to stock via Odin and you shouldn't have a problem. If you root your phone and then install a ROM not meant for your phone or local (like a Note ROM or an international ROM) you are probably going to mess something up that will be immediately obvious. The solution is not to do that.
Realistically, there aren't a ton of great ROMs available for this phone and most are based on stock anyway. No CM13 as yet. If you can live with your phone un-Rooted, that might be the wisest choice.
That said, I rooted my phone as soon as I got it. I went the full route, didn't care about tripping Knox and still don't. I have run both Renegade and TeamSPR ROMs and have been happy with them.
Now you can decide what to do.

Or u could root ur phone n install xposed on it ... Rooted S6 stock rom is now compatible with xposed its better than any custom roms out there

In my case, I only need temporary root. After that it maybe removed. So it would be nice to be able keep knox from being tripped if possible. Installing twrp is an additional step too that I would like to avoid again because it would serve no purpose since root would only be temporary. I also wanted to be sure that build G920PVPU3CPD3 could be rooted. Thanks for your input guys.
