ROOT T-Mobile ICS update

First of all, if you brick or mess-up your phone, I am not responsible. Rooting also void your warranty. Do it at your risk.
I had problems rooting ICS T989UVLE1, after updating.
Here is a root proceedure.
1) Download the attached ICS-root.7z (your will need a 7zip software to uncompress it on your PC) and uncompress it.
2) Put your phone in Download mood
3) Start Odin (Odin is available at XDA from several threads. Search for it if you do not have it)
4) Flash recovery.tar.md5 from the uncompressed ICS-root archive, you downloaded and uncompressed in Step 1. (It is CWM Touch Recovery for SG SII T-989)
5) Attach your phone to your PC/laptop and copy ICS-su-busybox.zip to your phone sd card
6) Reboot your phone in recovery
7) CWM flash ICS-su-busybox.zip
8) Reboot phone and apply Busybox update from Market. (Note. ICS-root.7z Zip has an older version busybox. You must update busybox from Market otherwise some applications, particularly Titanium will give errors.)
9) You are done. Enjoy.

Well I have the same issue, recovery looks installed after pressing power button to launch it goes to a screen and go back almost instantly on fastboot screen. I also tried last version of framaroot, does not help either... just get a failed message

Hi there, let's go step by step without "shortcuts" that are typically working on PC/WIn.
1. Unlock bootloader of your phone at HTCdev[dot]com [replace 'dot' with . - sorry for confusion I haven't earned reputation to post external links yet]. All necessary tools (fastboot) will be provided to download during process as well as necessary instructions. You need Windows/Linux or OS X computer to complete this step.
2. Download custom recovery .img file and save it to same directory you have fastboot files (e.g. from step 1) on you computer
3. Start phone in fastboot mode (mind fast boot option in Power settings must be unchecked if you using VolDown [-] start option (not necessary if you use adb reboot bootloader). Battery must be charged over 10% (I suggest 30% to stay secure); connect to computer (phone shall display Fastboot USB)
4. Navigate command/terminal window on your computer to location of recovery image file from step 2 (fastboot files must be there or have a correct path specified).
5. On computer terminal window run command: fastboot flash recovery filename_of_recovery.img . Red section must be exact custom recovery file name.
6. You'll get some communication in terminal. If completed OK will be among them, if failure, there will be FAIL with description of reason (e.g. low_power). If only "waitng for device" dislays, check connection with phone.
7. Navigate phone to HBOOT, then select recovery. If recovery don't start, check step 1 and restart from step 3. If only icon with red ! appears, it means you have stock recovery installed. Please verify from step 1.
8. Once custom recovery is installed and working, use it to flash SuperSU or any other superuser app (must be flashable .zip to be applied). Install just 1 root application, to avoid problems. At this point, you may consider flashing busybox also if you plan extensive file modification, but it's not necessary for root. For any sake, clear cache befor restart.
9. Restart the phone - you shall view SuperSU application or any other superuses app you've flashed i step 8.
Hope now works.

Thanks for your answer, I have to say I properly unlocked the phone so I do not think there is a way I messed up with this step as when I start bootloader it clearly shows on the top of the screen ''UNLOCKED".
When I flashed recovery on my phone I had no errors prompted or any message of failure. The process went well until a success notification.
Now when I start my phone into bootloader I repeat, I clearly see that recovery has been installed but when I attempt to start it then I'll be almost instantly brought back to the bootloader screen... now I started to wonder if... if an update of android could cause this kind of issue? The point is my phone is using android 4.4.4 and not the factory version 4.4.2. I remember having updated my android version which was perhaps a mistake as this phone is not very old and I was planning to root it in the next days... Now I'm not expert just try to figure it out.
I tried different system to auto root via different apps, some using the PC some using directly the phone, I never get any success...

Ok, please try twrp from Original Android Development tread (it works for me, mind, I'd question it's stability) or Philz recovery (sorry, I found only Chinese, but it's for verivication only: h...ps://drive.google.com/file/d/0BygOvRquk4z8S05kRC1XMXdSbXM/view?usp=sharing - please adjust tt in address - rookie rules).
I'd suggest test running from Fastboot: fastboot boot custom_recovery.img - replace with actual file name from directory you're running terminal.
This shall verify if it's problem with recovery file or any remaining protection...

LG G3 D722 - Bootloader patch issues

Hey guys,
I'm in the process of flashing CM's Marshmallow onto my LG G3s (D722) however after successfully rooting using KingRoot I can't seem to be able to apply the necessary bootloader patch as the /dev/block folders and contents are completely missing. Anyone have any suggestions? I installed a kdz lollipop stock room to begin the process if it helps.

heyy
you can you help me?
I have the CM13 but the root was not well and using the kingroot but is dont working .
as you did with the kingroot ?
sorry for the inconvenient

Hey,
I flashed a stock ROM (make sure you download the right one for your model/IMEI) via LG Flash Tool and then used Kingroot, be sure you haven't downloaded KingoRoot by mistake, it's not the same app as it just installs a heap of apps on your phone and does nothing but tell you it's failed after.
I'm still stuck with the bootloader patch though :s

There is a thread with all the info about this phone, tells you the right way to patch boot

Hi,
I figured out what the problem was, the thread you mention doesn't cater for my specific issue. Which I had hoped for a response about, however incase others have this same issue I'll list the process I went through here to resolve my issue and correctly root, patch and flash the D722;
1: Install Kingroot on your phone with your data connection active and let it try to root your phone, if it fails proceed to the next steps. Otherwise skip to step 3
THINGS TO DOWNLOAD: (If initial root attempt fails)
Download & install LG Flash tool on your PC.
Download & install Unified Android Toolkit (Optional, but useful for mass installation of aps)
Search for the correct KDZ file for your phone model/IMEI HERE
Install Busybox on your phone
Install Flashify on your phone
2: With your phone in download mode Flash your downloaded ROM using the LG Flash tool in CSE mode and click start, ignore language settings and any error messages. It should proceed as normal.
3: Follow the instructions for patching the bootloader HERE. If it fails proceed to step 4.
NOTE: The root location of your external SD card may be in a different directory, for example like mine it was in /storage/external_SD/ so try to change the file location in the command before proceeding.
4: Download and install CWM ROM Manager on your device (use Unified Android Toolkit to do this if you don't have/want gapps). Then choose fix permissions and repeat step 3.
5: Flash twrp via Flashify.
6: Download your desired ROM and place it in the root of your SD card, reboot to recovery.
7: Install the ROM as usual via TWRP, remember to wipe dalvic etc.
If mods would like me to post this as a guide instead I'll gladly do so!

[How-to] Root stock 4.4.2 version L710VPUDOH1

I recently decided to pick up my old Samsung Galaxy S3 which I no longer use as a daily phone (love my Huawei and Moto G) and give it some updated love. I first updated it with stock L710VPUDNJ2 tar package with Odin3 v3.10.0
After successful update, I noticed I had lost root but in addition, the phone booted up with additional system update package which I accepted and successfully updated to L710VPUDOH1
I tried previous root methods but none of them worked for me (included CF-auto root, and also trying to push CWMS3 package through Odin etc.). So I decided to try Kingroot 4.9.3 which rooted the device but I do not like Kingroot so I then flash TWRP 3.0.2 through flashify, uninstalled Kingroot, and pushed SuperSU zip package through TWRP recovery and now I have a rooted stock L710VPUDOH1
Here are the step by step (assumes you already have ADB/minimal ADB, and Samsung drivers installed on your PC):
1. Download the Odin zip, L710VPUDOH1 tar, UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00 zip, and twrp-3.0.2-0-d2spr img files onto your desktop. Transfer the twrp img file onto your phone internal or SD card storage
2. Extract the Odin zip package and have the unzip folder on your desktop for convenience
3. Run Odin3 as administrator
4. Start up your Galaxy S3 in download mode (vol down+Home+Pwr) and connect it to your PC with USB cable. Verify connect on Odin as it shows it connected with a COM port number
5. Make sure "Auto reboot" and "Reset time" is checked (by default they are checked). Check the AP box and click on AP and find the downloaded L710VPUDOH1 tar file, select it, and click OK. Then click Start button on Odin3
6. Once updated is successful, your phone should reboot and also the dialog box on the lower left corner of Odin should state update was successful
7. You should receive an OTA message on your phone regarding System Update Available (make sure your are on Wi-Fi or reliable data connection). Accept the update. Phone will update and reboot (you are now running L710VPUDOH1)
8. Download and install Kingroot from the following website (using your phone browser): http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/kingro...elease/kingroot-4-9-3-2-android-apk-download/
9. Run the app package (Avast Security and possibly other antivirus apps may give warning). It will install Kingroot and another app call Purify
10. Root your phone using Kingroot. You will get a pop up message regarding Knox. Tap on "Deny"
11. Go to Google Play Store and download and install Flashify. Run Flashify and grant permission with Kingroot. Flash the twrp img file (you now have custom recovery)
12. Uninstall Purify app (using the stock app manager on your phone) and uninstall Kingroot by going into Kingroot, then Settings (on the upper right hand corner), and scroll all the way down to the bottom and select "Uninstall Kingroot". After uninstall you will lose root
13. After uninstall, turn off your phone and boot into Recovery (vol up+Home+PWR). Your phone should boot into TWRP recovery. Now install the SuperSu zip file using TWRP to inject root back into your system
14. Reboot your phone. Go to Google Play Store to update to the latest SuperSU version (2.65) and then go to SuperSu to update the binary and reboot
15. You now have a rooted stock 4.4.2 version L710VPUDOH1. Use your program of choice to debloat and remove system apps (I personally use System App Remover by Jumobile)
I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for any brick devices and/or voided warranties. Always proceed with caution and read and re-read instructions carefully. This is just one simple man's experience. I have attached some of the necessary files (some files cannot be included due to size limits) if you do not want to download them directly from other sites.

No need for Kingroot. Just boot into download mode, flash TWRP with Odin, pull battery before the S3 reboots, boot into TWRP, flash SuperSU, reboot system, profit!

I tried this method and I was not successful. When I try to flash the TWRP .tar image with Odin, it would stall and get stuck. If this works for others, that's great. That's why I ended up trying the Kingroot approach.
