Hello to all,
I just tried to unlock and root my GSM Galaxy Nexus with OS X, following the terminal command line steps. I managed to unlock the bootloader, installed superuser, but when I try to access any root application it says that the phone is still not rooted. Could anyone help me please with some specific steps for OS X? I want to install CWM, but I don't know how to flash a ROM on the GN either...
Thank you in advance!
Did you flash the SU binary from CWM?
You will probably have to re-flash CWM through fastboot to get to it again unless you renamed install-recovery.sh

Thank you.
How do I flash CWM through fastboot? I downloaded filetransfer for mac, should I just copy the CWM ROM to the device? Or is there some specific folder I should put it in?

fastboot flash recovery <name-of-recovery>.img
or if you have root access, you can download ROM manager from the play store
http://galaxynexusroot.com/galaxy-nexus-root/how-to-root-galaxy-nexus/ for a complete guide.
so pretty much what you want to do is,
1. download http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-maguro.img (MAGURO ONLY... GSM)
2. put it in the same folder as "fastboot-mac"
3. go into bootloader mode
4. fastboot-mac flash recovery <nameofrecovery>.img (I believe.. I could be wrong on this, I don't use mac but it should be somewhat similar)

i'm pretty sure you have to put a ./ infront of fastboot... so it'd be like ./fastboot
Thank you very much!! I will try those steps, I am just Mister Paranoia when it comes to these things, so i want to make sure i am doing it right!

If you check the thread I posted above too, it's a guide on unlocking the bootloader and gaining root from a Mac. If you skip to the steps subsequent to locking the bootloader, you should be good to go!
I tried, and I have Superuser installed when I boot my phone, but when I try to access any root application, such as Root Explorer or Titanium backup, it doesn't allow me because it says the device is not rooted. There is no SU pop-up asking permissions either. I also downloaded CWM ROM MANAGER, tried to flash the recovery from there, but again it says it doesn't have permission.
Also half of the commands on terminal don't work...
Could anyone post a very easy step-by-step guide on how I could solve this please?
Thank you!
By the way, I am on 4.0.4
You are flashing a permanent recovery on your mac, right? fastboot flash recovery recovername.img Also, you put SU.zip on your SD card, then went into ClockworkMod recovery (volume up/down + power, choose recovery) and flashed SU.zip from your phone correct? It's still not working?

Hi Everyone,
Please help me if anyone have the stock recovery image file for lu 6200 or a method to extract the stock recovery from the phone for flashing the recoveryfile only to get back to stock recovery instead of flashing the whole phone to stock and doing all the setup and configurations.
I searched everywhere but not found any yet for 6200
---------
Here is the stock recovery I am able to extract from the 6200 can be flashback to phone atleast it worked for me.

I have not made the recovery, my question is how to extract the default stock recovery to .img file so I can replace the cmw recovery anytime I need or if any one already have extracted the stock recovery that is by default made by LG and put into the phone initially

u have to do flashing to load lg bootloader and with that bootloader installed u cant use cmw or modified rom. after alot of search, i have not found a way to boot into stock recovery once cmw is installed. u can instal rom mananger from playstore if ur phone is rooted than make a back up of ur rom on sd card plus all cmw recoveries provide backup but i found twrp recovery much better as it provide better ui and more functionality

Thanks I will try the Rom Manager to see if it can backup the original bootloader and the recovery to flash it later instead of flashing the whole kdz and setup everything again

I tried the rom manager but it can't extract the default recovery. However what I get now by searching for many hours that what I want is dumping the stock recovery and stock bootloader and combining into single .img file i.e bootl.img and recovery.img that I able to push back furing the normal running to get the stock recovery back and the bootloader without the ICE Engineer version showing after I flash the custom rom
twrp have the better ui but the one I found for 6200 have some problems I not remember but it had some issue mounting the system for wipe I think so I use the CMW instead both are good and perform the required function I suppose

HI everyone.
Today, I managed to root my LG G3(D855) that is on the Lollipop version(OTA update).
The reason for this root was to flash the cyanogenMod 12 rom. I found out that I needed a bump'd twrp recovery image which I got from this page:
I tried using flashify to flash this image which flashify claims was a success but when I try to boot into recovery, it gives me a "Secure boot error" message.
does the same methods that apply for flashing custom recovery in android 4.4.2 on LG G3 not apply to Lollipop versions?
if I do a battery pull and boot up the device normally, the device seems to work alright but I can't boot into recovery.
So, please I need help as I want to install this CM12. it bothers me a lot that my nexus 7 seems faster than my G3
-- Problem Solved---
I was able to fix this problem and booting into a custom recovery by going through this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-update-to-lollipop-root-bumpd-twrp-t3048845
Here are the files I used:
"aboot.img" from a kitkat D855 stock rom. (here is the one I used https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7fkQwhNpU7YNTdfZUQyZlQzLTA)
oversharpening fix flashable zip (here is the one I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/fix-sharpening-mod-script-1-0-beta-t2957648 used the latest version at the time of posting.)
a bump'd twrp recovery image for D855 from here: http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lg_g3/bump/
kikat bootstack from here for D855: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934540501
after getting all these files, move it to the root folder of your SD card.
attempt the process below at your own risk
Here is how I used the files:
I first used flashify (download from play store) to install the bump'd twrp recovery.img.
Then using android terminal emulator (download from play store) I ran this command
Code:
su [b](no need to retype this if you did not exit from the previous Android Terminal session)[/b]
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/sdcard/lollipop-aboot.img [b](this makes a backup to your Internal Storage)[/b]
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot [b](writes “zeroes” to the partition to “wipe” it out)[/b]
dd if=/sdcard/aboot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot [b](flashes the Kitkat version aboot.img to the aboot partition)[/b]
from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59353812&postcount=44
I then reBooted my device into recovery mode which of course now has become TWRP recovery.
in the twrp recovery I flashed in the oversharpening fix.zip file (I was prompted during the installation to choose a sharpening level, I chose 5. this value doesn't have anything to do with the recovery process, we just need it to bump the lollipop boot.img)
After that, I flashed in the Kitkat boot stack and then rebooted my device.
that's it. I am on CM 12 now. Good luck.

Causes of "Secure Boot Error"
Hi Friends,
"Secure Boot Error" and "Certification Verify" are already "known" errors, and by "known" it means that the causes are already well-established and therefore, can be fixed.
Please visit my thread and read the very first post at Page 1, for the following topics:
1. "The Logic Behind It All"
2. "Troubleshooting and "Q&A"
Heads up: I'm not the type of member who will give a straight answer, so please expect my how-to and posts to be very wordy. I want fellow members to understand what they are doing, not just tell them what they are doing (teach people how to fish, not just give them fish - so to speak).

The explanation is in my how-to thread, Page 1.
I created an easy solution already as well, it's in my how-to thread. I created a script called "Imageprep". It only requires typing a single command in the Terminal. You must have not read the guide fully so you might have missed it. Understandable because you said you have exams.

Very good, @lordzouga.
This is the reason why as much as possible, I explain the logic and force other members to understand it first. It makes the process easier for them because they know what they are doing.
The method worked perfectly after i bricked my device for the 1st time (was flashing the wrong recovery)after it worked i noticed most of the apps i need dont run on lillipop (due to devs not upgrading the apps to run with ART) so i downgraded to kitkat ......tnx alot for ur help
Thanks, this method worked perfectly.

The reason why recovery wont load if you rooted using LG's lollipop firmware is because they patched the hack that bypasses the Security check. You need to downgrade to kitkat or keep on Lg's lollipop

Be careful with this thread, it will brick your phone. On the safe side make sure you remove laf partition and fastboot is working. I got mine bricked.
Does it work for Android 5.0 Lollipop or only Android 4.4 Kitkat?
I happened to own a Acer Z220, I want to root it and get xposed framework for additional feature (a 3rd party rom is not expected at this stage:crying.
I find some good stuff from http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=674828, if someone speaks Russian, please ask if vm03 could update the twrp to the latest.
What I want is an updated version of TWRP.
ps: Since this unpopular phone has no excising Root+Recovery solution around, I decide to post what I have concluded so far.
-------------------------------------what I have concluded so far---------------------------------------------------------------
boot into recovery:
1st press and hold vol+ and power key
wait til vibret 2 times then release both key
and press vol - key wait 10 to 15sc
thanks trust4eve83
boot into fastboot
press and hold vol- and power key, wait 10 to 15sc
How to do a nand backup(without flashing a 3rd party recovery)
boot into fastboot
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot devices (make sure your device is there)
fastboot boot twrp.img (doing this also test if the 3rd party recovery will work for your device before you acturally flash it)
now you in twrp
Only working Root method:
I had tried many method, only KingRoot works.
Ps:
You might require a second try for a success root, and you "might" lost root access after restart.
How to flash a 3rd party recovery (after rooted)
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p25
assuming your recovery block is the same as mine, or try:
# dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
# reboot recovery
Ps:
Since I really dislike the root manager bundled with KingRoot, thus repeated some of the above steps to get clean system with TWRP+SuperSU.

Dead Links.
Your dropbox link is dead. Please fix. Also, by chance do you have a system.img for the Z220? KingRoot modified my install-recovery.sh and now I cannot OTA update. TIA!
Does anyone have a link for the TWRP? I really need it right now.
--PokeAcer
does anyone have cwm or twrp acer z220
Root it by kingroot. Change it with SuperSU . ( google kingroot to SuperSU) . The one in used terminal emulator. Now u have SuperSU installed
For custom recovery, i can't help u . However , u can use flashfire to flash xposed framework. Download xposed framework , and flash the zip file ( exposed framework) with flashfire. Don't check auto mount , just proceed . After that , scroll down to everRoot option, and check all box inside it. After u done , flash. Last , install xposed installer. and voila!
My advice : don't use xposed framework if u don't know what you are doing . If something gone wrong , reflash ur Acer with a stock ROM ( u can get it from S4trio blog )
Keep in mind that flashfire only working with SuperSU.
The TWRP image is gone (404), does anyone else have a copy?

thats weird, it works for me. Like both versions of TWRP...
Hi. I have a weird issue. I have a D855 phone which is running on kitkat v10n. I thought of Upgrading it to official 5.0 or 6.0 firmware and decided to check for the option software update in my phone. But I didn't find any. So i thought of installing TWRP recovery to my phone. and I flashed through flashify and cant boot into recovery menu but i can see fastboot menu started and some other 2,3 lines at the top left corner of the phone. I cant even reset the phone also as doing that going into same fastboot menu but when i pull the battery and place it it is booting.
The real thing starts from here. I want to check whats wrong with my phone and found that actually my phone motherboard is LS990.Not D855. So I came to know that as i wrong flashed the recovery, I am getting fastboot mode. So can I flash tot file directly now or not? if doing so will it result in hard/soft brick or in boot loop? Please help me to upgrade from kitkat to lollipop without any damage to my phone. Expecting a resolution from you. Thank u..
Can you still boot into download mode or not?
You did not see the upgrade because either your sd card is full or too small for update to fit. Happened to me once. When you sort this up, make some room on your sd card and then let the OTA do the thing.

Yes. I can boot into download mode..My phone i think is running on kitkat rom v10n. Its motherboard is ls990 but in software info its showing D855. I only cant reset the phone, cant go into recovery and cant update through OTA and also through Flash tool. How to get recovery menu (custom or even stock recovery) and i want to get rid of fastboot menu.

If you can boot into download, it would be possible to flash kdz. Just you must find the right one for your phone!!
Edit: you will have to use LG flash tool. LGUP is only for D855.
Post here before you do anything.

no.for ls990 there is no kdz i think so.only tot and dll files.but i am doubtful in flashing anything before fixing the fastboot menu as i could brick my device if anything wrong happens..
Ufff.
This is the hard way but at least first you check your memory for errors, and somewhere in the text it clearly says that fastboot is a no-go.
http://open-freax.fr/guide-unbrick-your-lg-g3/
I personally would go with a download mode and tot files, AND DISBLED ALL THE THINGS THAT WANT TO KILL PROCESSES. like antiviruses, win-defender etc.
Trust me, I know how you feel, maybe some more ideas drop into the thread.

So lets explain few things first. You can safely flash tot files via download mode. Tot file contains your stock recovery partition as well. So everything will be flashed to stock. So if you find tot file to flash for your model fell free to flash it.
Instead what I would suggest is for you to flash TWRP, and after that flashing Lollipop zip with TWRP.
Here is how:
You download TWRP zip for LS990 from here if you are sure that's your model:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347763136
then you extract recovery.img file from the zip,
then to flash it either use flashify or these adb commands:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
Ofc if you use these exact adb commands you need to place recovery.img to root of your /sdcard.
So now you confirm that you have a working TWRP. Try to boot into it.
If it succeeds you have Sprint Lollipop files provided here:
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3/LS990/stock_partitions/ZVA
You only need these files: system.img, boot.img, modem.img, rpm.img, tz.img
IMPORTANT: boot.img you download from here not from the link above:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3165683&d=1423941988
After downloading them and placing them in root of sdcard, boot to TWRP open terminal and write these:
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system
dd if=/sdcard/zv8_boot_fixed.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
dd if=/sdcard/modem.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem
dd if=/sdcard/rpm.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/rpm
dd if=/sdcard/tz.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/tz
That's it.
Credit for these files goes to the OP of this thread @autoprime

I assumed that system.img was provided in links above. It isn't.
So here:
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3/LS990/stock_partitions/ZVB/
Download zips only. Flash them, no need to use dd command. It is prerooted Lollipop. Again credits to @autoprime.
And perhaps if you would like to check Marsmallow here's a thread:

Thanks a lot. I checked the marshmallow post. i found that it has some issues. Am i right?? Data is no working and some call issues also. Is there any other Marshmallow stock feel rom??
so as you said to flash, flashing system.zip and modem .zip is enough?? What about boot.img,tz.img and rpm.img?

I would wait for MM to settle a bit, some guys have icons problem, some LTE, some stuff is downgraded to work properly. How ever you go, you will not get clean MM. Only if you do not want root, and that is a no-no for me.

You checked Marsmallow post, that's how it is. I have d855 so I have official Marsmallow, cant tell you about that port. You can always test it if you wish then revert back.
Yes flash zips only. All those partitions are provided in them (LG-LS990ZVB-Flashable.Modem.RPM.TZ.zip; LG-LS990ZVB-Flashable.System.Boot.zip).

I flashed it but after booting android process is force closing for every 5 seconds and its showing the same message. So I went into recovery menu, wiped dalvik cache and cache,data and system and made a factory reset again and rebooted it. But my phone stuck on LG logo only. Now i can't even enter into TWRP Recovery . What to do?? Flashing tot is only the solution? I can go into download mode..
Edit: I tried going to TWRP manually. First I tried by going to recovery mode by watching a video showing holding volume down+power button and release after the LG logo is seen and within half second again should hold back. That didn't work for me. I only holded volume down+power button untill I see "Recovery mode loading" screen and after 2 seconds it taken me to TWRP. I successfully re-flashed back the zip files again. Thanks for your help. but i am getting invalid sim and showing hands free activation on my phone.. So should I need to unlock it?? now big trouble with the sim problem.Can u provide any solution??
Edit 2: Even this I solved myself.. thanks a lot.Hitting thanks button

Troublesome. I have no knowledge what "hands free activation" is. I belive it's something connected with Sprint?
As for the invalid SIM, was your phone SIM locked? Where did you buy it and why did it even have d855 system flashed onto it if its ls990?
Can you make calls and have you made a backup of your old system in TWRP before flashing?

I followed one link and replaced some files and got the signal back. But I am unable to access data in my phone. also in settings i am seeing activate this device. I disabled hands free activation thing which is very annoying. But flashing any other lollipop rom, can I use data in my phone? Can you suggest any best lollipop rom like cloudy or other than cloudy?
