[GUIDE] [ROOT]NTT Docomo Fujitsu Arrows X F-02E Root

I DO NOT TAKE CREDIT FOR THE WORK. I ONLY TRANSLATED THE SCRIPTS TO ENGLISH .
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK OR BREAK YOUR FUJITSU.
I have managed to find a bat file which will allow you to root your F-02E japanese phone.
I have also found a script to allow system R/W made by kikuhare
Steps Involved:
Make sure your phone has 100% charge.
Download the Root + System Mount
Extract the zip's to different folders.
Enable USB debugging under Menu > Settings > Developer Options.
Point to the folder where you extracted drivers from "usb_driver_F-02E_1.0.zip". Wait for drivers to install.
Make sure the phone is connected as PTP not MTP.
CMD into the folder "f-02e_oneclick_su_installer". It is inside the "Root + System Mount_1" files folder.
Run the runme.bat.
Download "Root Checker by joeykrim" from the Play Store.
Run the "Root Checker" app
Wait for the process to finish.
UPDATE System R/W
Connect phone to computer
Download the System Read Write Mounter_1.zip <<<<<< Only need to download if you did not download the "Root + System Mount_1.zip" file.
CMD into the "F-02E_system-mounter" It is inside the "Root + System Mount_1" files folder.
Extract the file and run the"START.bat"
Run everytime the system restarts to mount system as R/W.
Enjoy root .
NOTE: This method does not give full root permissions. You will still be able to underclock the CPU to some degree and use the CoreControl app to disable cores. I will have to run start.bat inside F-02E_system-mounter folder everytime the phone restarts to get system R/W
Drivers: usb_driver_F-02E_1.0.zip
Root Includes System Mount: Root + System Mount_1.zip
System R/W Mounter: System Read Write Mounter_1.zip

No, not enough developers and interest for the phone outside Japan. I doubt anyone will be willing to put in effort as well

Oh well, but it is a very good phone, i think ill still get it though. I just wanted to know is half of it in Chinese even if you select english, i just heard this on youtube about another one of fujitsu's phones?

Only Docomo and Fujistu apps are in Japanese. Everything else is in English.

Thats fine i suppose with root explorer i can delete those apps by deleting the apk in system app? Also if you have xposed app settings you can change the language per app would that also work?

I have just frozen them, just incase if the phone needs the at somepoint. Xposed framework doesnt work as it need system R/W and the root method has not allowed system R/W mainly because the phone bootloader not unlocked. Secondly make sure you do not uninstall/disable the Phonebook and Phonebook Service provided by Docomo. Its key to allowing you to add and sync contacts.

So Xposed wont work at all then, thats a shame what about lucky patcher, does that need R/W?

Improved the .bat file. Now you will have system R/W
Download the root file again and run it. Follow the steps starting at 10 if you have already rooted. :good:

Thanks

anyone else besides the OP got their f02 rooted with this?

I may not be able to help any further. I have boot looped my phone. I cannot get it past the NTT Docomo screen. I think I know what is causing it but I cannot get the phone connected to the PC. I may need to send it into Fujitsu.

Good luck on fixing it

You can reset the factory settings. Reboot the phone and hold the volume up, the phone will boot into recovery mode. You will be able to do a factory recovery.

I have not been able to overcome the issue. It is a design issue. Because it is waterproof phone the heat cannot disperse.
The only thing I have been able to do is keep the CPU frequency down to lower the time it takes for the phone to heat up.

What does it, when you run the root file?
Could you also tell your build number. Is it VR17xxx or VR16xxx?

LG G4 WiFi Fix - Always all channels on 2.4 GHz

WiFi Fix - always all channels on 2.4 GHz
IMPORTANT:
Only for advanced users!
You are an advanced user if you know exactly what you are doing.
You are an advanced user if you know what to do if something went wrong.
You are NOT an advanced user if you know how to do copy+paste.
You can bring your smartphone into a state, so it no longer works.
I am not responsible for anything. The following instructions are only suggestions.
Hello,
I want to show you a way how you prevent your LG G4 to limit wireless channels to 1-11.
This happens when no SIM card is inserted or if the airplane mode is activated.
You get messages like:
"Some Wi-Fi networks unavailable due to unknown location" (English)
"Einige Wi-Fi-Netzwerke sind wegen des unbekannten Standorts nicht verfügbar" (German)
"Algunas redes Wi-Fi no están disponibles debido a una ubicación desconocida" (Spanish)
I studied the log entries and found a line that said "[LGE_PATCH] For Country code DC. ....".
After a long search in the code I have discovered the place that is responsible for the limitation.
It is located in the wifi-service and it sets the WifiCountryCode to "DC" if your location could not be obtained.
For me living in Germany it should be "DE".
The WifiCountryCode named "wifi_country_code" is stored in the "global" table of "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db".
Changing it has no effect as it is overwritten instantly.
So we need to modify the program code of "wifi-service".
According to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64636618&postcount=8
this guide seems to work on other models from LG and newer Android versions too.
You have to search for the wifi-service.odex file and replace "DC" with your two-letter country code.
Alter the paths of the instructions if you use another phone than LG G4 with Android 5.1 Lollipop!
The following instructions show how to do it on the LG G4 with Android (5.1) Lollipop.
Prerequisites:
ROOT
USB debugging enabled
Procedere:
Connect your G4 to your computer.
Open the command promt and enter the following lines:
Code:
adb shell
mkdir /sdcard/wifi-service
cp /system/framework/arm64/wifi-service.odex /sdcard/wifi-service/64wifi-service.odex
Now a file named "64wifi-service.odex" is on your internal memory located in the folder "wifi-service".
Copy the file to your computer.
Now you have to edit the file.
Don't use the "editor" on windows, use Notepad++
With Strg+F search for "DDD".
You will find exactly one line that contains this::
"DATE_TIME DBG DC DCM DDD DDFName"
Change the value "DC" to "DE" for example (search the internet for the two-letter country code of your country (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2))
"DATE_TIME DBG DE DCM DDD DDFName"
Save the file.
Delete the file "64wifi-service.odex" on your smartphone.
Copy the edited file from your computer to the folder "wifi-service" on your smartphone.
Go back to the command prompt and type this:
Code:
su
You should see an confirmation promt on your smartphone that asks to grant root rights.
Confirm the message.
The command promt should change from $ to # now.
To verify your rights type this:
Code:
id
You should see "uid=0" etc.
Now type in the following lines (I recommend to execute each row seperately):
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /system/framework/arm64
cp wifi-service.odex /sdcard/wifi-service/64wifi-service.odex.bak
rm wifi-service.odex
cd /sdcard/wifi-service
cp 64wifi-service.odex /system/framework/arm64/wifi-service.odex
cd /system/framework/arm64
chown 0:0 wifi-service.odex
chmod 0644 wifi-service.odex
echo "restart device"
Check the outputs. There must be no errors!
After hitting the Enter button the last line should output "restart device".
In the folder "wifi-service" on your internal storage you find the original "wifi-service.odex".
It is named "64wifi-service.odex.bak".
Restart your smartphone now.
As from now it does not matter whether a SIM card is inserted or if the airplane mode is activated.
The WiFi channels are no longer limited to 1-11. You can now always use 12 and 13.
Did the instructions help you?
Please give a "Thanks!"
Thank you
For users who speak German:
I wrote this guide in German at first. You can find it on android-hilfe.de
Title: "LG G4 WLAN Fix - immer alle Kanäle"
http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/lg-g4-wlan-fix-immer-alle-kanaele.710265/

I am using Ultraedit. Nevertheless I only see a hex file and I can not locate a string: "DCM DDD DDFName" Any suggestions?

It is also passible with your editor.
There are two ways:
1. In HEX mode (default mode)
After hit "Strg + F" enter the string "DDD"
Activate the checkboxes "ASCII suchen" and "Groß-/Kleinschreibung beachten".
You will find excatly one result. (DC is in line 00c6e40h)
2. Deactivate HEX mode (Strg + H)
After hit "Strg + F" enter the string "DDD"
The first result is what you need. (line 10528)
Change "DC" to "DE". Don't change anything else!
Hope I could help.
You are also on V10c? Otherwise line numbers will differ.
Tip:
Make a system.img with "dd" of your current system partition.
If it don't work or you did something wrong you can simply copy it back with "dd".

Thanks for all the help! I switched to notepad ++. Found the entry
Code:
DATE_CLASS DATE_KEY DATE_TIME DBG DE DCM DDD DDFName DEBUG
in line 17126 though. Changed it successfully! Copied successfully to my phone! No effect! Still no channel 13 without sim. Double checked (copy wifi-service.odex to pc) and look for
Code:
DATE_TIME DBG DE DCM
.
It IS in there. Somehow not taking effect? I had problems when doing "chown 0:0 wifi-service.odex" It tells me "read only file system". I did set the owner and permissions with ES File Explorer. TO: root, root and Read, write; read; read.

OK I think you are an advanced user. (aren't you?)
You did it right with your app, but it should be possible with the shell too.
Readonly means you are not "su" in shell or/and did not "mount -o remount,rw /system".
Check su with "id" (uid=0) and mount should output something like this:
Code:
/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system /system ext4 [B]rw[/B],seclabel,relatime,data=ordered 0 0
Please check that /system/framework/arm64 has only one file named wifi-service.odex in it.
While testing I got to a point where I had two "wifi-service.odex" files with different file permissions in it.
Post an "ls -l" of the folder please.
After removing the SIM card and rebooting your phone look in the "global" table of settings.db and check that "wifi_country_code" is set to "DE".
Please also use catlog to check if wpa_supplicant sets the CountryCode to DE.
PS: for me it's line 17073 in notepad++ Don't know why lines differ.
Filesize of wifi-service.odex is 3903976 bytes for me. You are also on V10c?

Thanks for this! just fixed my G3 Marshmallow,
I'm using another region rom, and i think sim country is not properly detected.

Thanks for reply.
Didn't know that the G3 has this "problem" too and that my solution works on Android M.
I guess it's not the same line "DATE_TIME DBG DC DCM DDD DDFName"
but also a line with the value "DC"?

I just noticed the problem when updating to 6, its another line but very similar:
the full path for the file is /system/framework/oat/arm/wifi-service.odex
Line is 24139
values for the line are "DATE_CLASS DATE_KEY DATE_TIME DATUM_WIDTH DBG DC DCM DD DDD DDFName "
Just changed DC to BR.

Perfect.
Thank you.

Hello, I know that the thread is quite old, but I have a small problem with the wifi-service.odex file on my phone. Looks scrambled in n++. Is there any setting for n++ that I should use?
My phone is a Le Max2 and I don't have GSM signal at my workplace. The routers are set to automatic and they also use channels 12 and 13.
From what I understand by the commands, you are just pulling the file from system to internal storage, and copying it to the computer, changing it with n++ and copying it back to system. There is no transformation to .jar as I can see...
The file is about 4mb.
Can you provide any help please?

Hi,
you already created a thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/wifi-channels-12-13-unable-to-t3773144
Please stay at your own thread for further discussion. This thread here is only for LG devices and the provided fix is only working on some LG devices.
You're right, the odex file looks "scrambled" in Notepad++, but that's no problem. We only had to change one or two letters.
I will answer at your thread "WiFi channels 12 and 13 - unable to see them". (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3773144)
For all other users, please read these threads to understand the problem:

Double post by mistake - slow internet connection

Worked cool on LG G4 Stylus
Just a few "logistics" to comment:
-on some devices/models seems to be that /sdcard is no possible to access. Instead, /storage/emulated/0/ or the real path /data/media/0
-when copying the modified wifi-service file to /system/... folder, step on with a "Permission Denied" message. I was Root and /system was mounted as wr. Finally continued by copying using a root explorer and then continuing in the shell.
-after i rebooted, tried to connect on a channel 13 without sucess. I had plain mode. I put off plain mode, changed the country in wpa_supplicant.conf file and rebooted again. After that, all went good

I had a situation i yet did not solve.
Yesterday i went to some friend's house, where before i could not see their wifi network. And i still can not see it ! :0 :0
I know this method worked, because changed the channel on my router to 12 or 13 and i can see them and connect. Also country code show as i changed it in Wpa_Supplicant and in CountryCode in Android.Providers. I also know is not a hidden network, as my friends can see it and connect normally without problem. Also tried with WPS button, and nothing.
.
-As the "problematic" network is a 5G, maybe is something related with this? lack of technology as my phone model is a bit old nowadays?
But what i understood about 5 G, is that they assure backwards compability :/
.
Maybe u see something i am missing?

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

ya u just update thru lg bridge.. once updated it will be unroot tho so u have to root it back same method as u did before.. and if you use link2sd it dosent matter after root ur link2sd can just reboot and re-read ur partition without needing to wipe and re-partition

It's working in H736P! Thank you só much!
Enviado de meu LG-H736 usando Tapatalk

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.

[GUIDE] How to fix Windows Update Issue on CU builds - Error 0x80070273

For those who are still waiting for a fix for the update error and don't want to undergo the recovery process, I found a different solution, which doesn't need a recovery operation on the phone.
I tested it with success on my 1020 and another 925 which were stuck in the CU build .297.
Keep in mind that the parameters that I will use are specific to these phone models, so if you have a different one you need to find the parameters specific to your phone model.
This is an heuristic procedure, tested on a limited number of phones, so use it at your risk, keeping in mind that you could have problems or need to recover your phone loosing all your data, so do a proper backup before.
Let's start.
The problem appears because, during update phase, the oeminput.xml file becomes corrupted: as far as I know it happens only on some x20 models, and not for all the users.
Now we're going to rebuild it...
Go to the following link
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn756630(v=vs.85).aspx
Copy the content of example file oeminput.xml: i.e. copy the content of the framed zone after the phrase "The following example shows the contents of a sample ProductionOEMInput.xml file"
Paste in a .txt file which you'll rename and change extension so that it becomes oeminput.xml. Save it with notepad.
Now modify the file
at the node <SOC>{PROCESSOR_NAME}</SOC> modify {PROCESSOR_NAME} fake parameter in order to have the processor name of your phone: for the 920/925/1020 use QC8960
at the node <Resolution>480x800</Resolution> instead of 480x800 use the resolution of your phone: for the 920/925/1020 use 768x1280
in all the nodes related to language <Language>en-US</Language> use the language of your phone: I used for example it-IT because I have the phone in Italian language.
Save the file.
Now if you still don't have interop tools installed (but I think you should have if you arrived to CU with an x20 phone model) install it.
Launch interop tools and then click this device and enable full file system access. Reboot your phone, connect it to a pc with cable: you'll see more directories than usual, because you also unlocked system dirs: be careful not to delete or modify any dir apart from what you find in this guide or you'll risk to damage your phone. If you want to find your usual dirs (docs photos...etc), go to phone\Data\Users\Public. I advise you that after the procedure I couldn't deactivate full file system access, because it continues re-activating in interop tools, maybe there is a way: but you can live with this, because you can find the usual dirs in the path that I specified...
Now go to phone\windows\imageupdate, make a backup on pc of the current oeminput.xml and overwrite it with the new one.
At this point in the phone go to settings, update and then search for updates: you should find Fall Creators Update...
Good Luck!
p.s. I didn't extensively search on the forum if a similar guide has been already posted, in the case sorry for the duplication.
Thanks to Antonio who has actively participated in the realization of this guide

At this point I think it's not a problem of corrupted oeminput file.

https://answers.microsoft.com/de-de...nd-eimem/0a6e1776-9005-40e8-a18e-9eaf0f35b648
It's in german language, but from what I understood the problem has been solved with Recovery Tool via pc: I know that's not the best solution, but maybe better than remaining without updates. Another significative information is that an hard reset alone doesn't solve the issue!
I hope that can be of any help...

If you receive an error when you try to overwrite oeminput.xml, it means that your phone has not been unlocked for full filesystem access. Please refer to the guide in order to enable full filesystem access

You can examine your oeminput.xml file and check if it is somehow not well-formed.
If that is the case you can use
<SOC>QC8926</SOC>
<Resolution>720x1280</Resolution>

Thanks for the reply guys.
I couldn't wait longer, so went with an reset. It updated fine after that.
Later came to know it was some server issue

The error overwriting oeminput.xml happens when you haven't obtained full filesystem access.
In order to obtain full filesystem access:
Open Interop Tools, then this device, then Interop Unlock.
Check Full Filesysytem Access and restart your device.
Refer to this thread to download correct version of Interop Tools

Windows Phone Update Error 0x80070273

i have been trying for many days to fix this error problem Windows Phone Update Error 0x80070273 .. there was solution here in the forum about modify system file .. but the problem is when I apply full access on interop it show system files of the phone but all are protected as read only . so I can't replace or modify any files .. what to do to remove this read only protection on phone system files ?
I was on anniversary build 1607 .. then I started to update to CU and it finished download and installing but when restarted and I go to update it say there's Update Error 0x80070273 … and it seem that there are things are missing ..
what to do ?

why no one answer ?! there's no solution ? how to remove read only attrib from root !! I did full system view and i see the files but I can't edit or do anything to them

What do you mean by that?
What are the steps you used for obtaining "full system view"?
What phone model are you using?
Did you search the forums for your answer first?
---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------
At times the path for ndtk services gets changed. If this is an x20 device and you toggled the full filesystem access switch in Interop Tools and did the reboot but still cannot edit files. Toggle the restore NDTKSvc switch too and see if that helps.

Privileges are not being elevated for some reason to give rw to the mtp mount. You could try one of two things. Uninstall IT and then install this version here, and see if anything changes. Or you can download swish or another known working sftp/scp app and login as system via sftp and try. If none work, then there might be some change in the OS build on your phone that is causing a bug and not allowing rw access for mtp. You can check all the registry settings too. See if the mtp registry settings are accurate. If they are even try setting HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MTP\DataStore string to C:\Windows and see what happens.

no luck .. nothing worked .. I gave up about trying to modify that file … I have to find how to update from windows 1607 to 1703 by offline pacakage .. I have tried to use iutool but didn't work ..
