Hi
I seem to be having a problem rooting my Xperia Arc.
I'm trying to run : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350&page=12
And first I got the error message : Adb out of date, but re-tried.
The second time I did it, I didn't get that message but now it just says waiting for device...
Nothing else happens - I have followed all the instructions and can't see anything wrong.
Any help appreciated...
Go to task manager on the PC and end any instance of adb, then try again.
If the above doesn't work just copy the
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
From your adb folder and try again
Hi, thanks for the replies.
I tried killing the process but made no difference.
I went through and had another read around and followed the adb guide to make sure I had everything, downloaded things and tried again.
I now get a message adb is out of date, killing.
But then says Daemon started successfully, then does nothing.
I don't seem to have those files any you mentioned anywhere??
If you was following that thread you must have those files, also you must have adb SDK installed you are getting that error because the adb files in the link is different versions to what you have installed so just move the files named
I did it the other way and created files folder in program files\android\sdk with the files from the root package and put batch file in the main directory.

Absolutely no idea then, It said it downloaded stuff, but no idea where it is. I have file searched but brings up nothing.
I do have the SDK yes, but there is no folder in there called usb or anything.
I'll try re-doing it all again from scratch, see if it makes any difference..

That's what I've been following.
Knightlore,
I seemed to have had the same problems as you. Much as I thought I was following instructions, I just couldn't get it to work.
One of the threads I was reading had a link to a flashtool thread(I can't easily link to it at the moment as not on computer). Anyway, it said that the Zergrush exploit was now in Flashtool, so I followed those instructions and it was really easy to root phone.
HTH.
I think it is this thread I followed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Still encountering the same problem, I have re-done everything from scratch and I still get the same error. Anyone else got any ideas please?
I've managed to root all my other phones, but for some reason this just won't work...
I downloaded auto lgnpst. I've run the bat file and extracted and renamed the tot file to bin. when i try to run lgnpst i get an error saying LG USB/ DONGEL NOT DETECTED. I've tried to move the files to different locations and no dice. any Ideas? also windows vista
maybe manually downloading and installing the LG USB drivers? have you tried using a different USB port (or connecting it directly to the pc if you are using a hub)?

Did you run as administrator? I think that needs to be done vista or later.
Try IRC they're very helpful and will walk u through the steps

Uninstall, then run ad administrator. Make sure all drivers are detected.
If all else fails, go to IRC.

IRC will get you fixed up. Even I had issues with LGNPST and went to IRC and was up and running in 5 minutes.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984620
Help!!!
Okay I need to find LGNPST and can't seem to talk to anyone on the IRC soooo I am posting here... So my system files somehow got deleted and my CWM keeps on booting up instead of the actual android software. I've already tried to delete and re-flash whatever roms i had that would fix it and nothing has changed... Maybe you can point me to the right place for the files for a ls970 and maybe some nice directions please?
Hi pals,
This is one of those "I'm too busy to research A, B and C, please feed it to me with a silver spoon?" posts, and for that, I'm sorry.
I'm working a lot lately, but I just bought my S4 and have come to understand that in order to root it with the May 7th update, I must follow different instructions. The problem is, I need to do this on a Mac, and therefore need to use Heimdall to do it. Not only do I not know anything about Heimdall, but I've been out of touch with the rooting/ROMming scene for a while now.
Could someone please sum up a step-by-step for a Mac user trying to root their S4 that's got the May 7th update on a Mac?
Go to an Internet Cafe or something.
Not being a jerk, but i'd rather go to kinko's than do it with a mac
That being said check out zedomax's

Unfortunately this is a matter of not having time on my hands. I have these random little bits of 10 minutes here and there in my life lately and I can only hope to root this phone during one of them lol
I'm going to Google this video though, really appreciate the heads up.
Edit: After searching, are one of these videos Mac specific and geared towards post-May 7th-update users? They're all kind of looking the same to me and I can't open them all.

Download this Heimdall Suite for MAC here: https://github.com/downloads/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/heimdall-suite-1.3.2-mac.dmg
After it's downloaded install the suite.
The Suites package contains the frontend which uses a Graphical User Interface simular to Odin for windows.
Here is the link for the STOCK Tmobile Heimdall flashable Samsung Galaxy S4 Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 official firmware:
http://k0nane.info/rom/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip
After you download the firmware, unzip and extract the TAR file and then extract all the files which are inside the TAR file
into a new folder on your computers desktop.
Be sure that you have installed the proper samsung usb drivers for your phone before trying to use Heimdall.
Download and Install the Heimdall Suite. (this is a Odin replacement for the MAC)
Using Heimdall
Step 1: Run/Execute “heimdall-frontend”
Step 2: When Heimdall opens there will be different slots to put files into, the filenames correspond to the name of the slots.
Navigate to the new folder on your desktop which has all the files you have extracted out of the .tar file
Example: Under FactoryFS click browse and find the FactoryFS.rfs file that you extracted out of the .tar file into your new folder.
When you’re finish double check that the correct files are in the correct slots.
Make sure that you do not checkmark the repartition device!
Step 3: Check to be sure that all the necessary files are in the right slots and the necessary checkboxes are checked.
When you’re finish reboot your phone into download mode and connect it to the usb port that you installed the drivers to.
Wait for about 5 secs. to let your computer recognize that your phone is plugged in the usb then click START.
Wait for Heimdall to complete finish the flashing.
You should get a “flash completed successfully” after it's done and the phone will now restart.
Good Luck!

Hey thank you so much for laying that out!
One question; How do you extract the TAR.md5? From what I'm reading, you need a Windows PC and a special application and all this crazy stuff to do it. Can I do it with a Mac application?
Edit: Wait, can I just rename the md5 to zip? Duh?
Edit 2: Yes, you can, I did, and I'm all set lol Gonna go for it now, thank you!

Ok, so I think I may be having an issue due to using the latest version of Heimdall. I've checked out the guide on Heimdall here and it's based on version 1.1. I have version 1.3.2 and I don't see anywhere to select certain files. All I seem to be able to do under "Flash" is select a PIT file, which I don't have.
I tried to "Load Package" on the first screen, but it's telling me it's not the right file size.

Sorry, I forgot about the MD5, just remove the md5 from the filename so the extension is simply .zip
then unzip it into a new folder on your desktop...
And NO you do not need a PC.
Good luck!

It's been so long since I used a mac, I know I am forgetting things.
You need to click the BROWSE box in Heimdall Suite's Front-End which opens another window where you can "navigate"
to the TAR file which is located in the zipfile. (you don't need to use pit or any other files besides the TAR for anything).
Just unzip the ZIP file so Heimdall can see the TAR file when you navigate to it with the Heimdall's Front-End.
Good luck!

Ok, haha, I feel so bad because I'm being a pest at this point.
I've got the files, 12 of them, extracted to a folder.
I'm using Heimdall version 1.3.1.
When I open Heimdall-frontend, I'm presented with two options (others are greyed out): Either load a Heimdall Firmware Package under "Load Package" tab, or load a PIT under "Flash"
I see a space for "Partitions (Files)" where I'm assuming I would add the individual files, but again, it's greyed out.
What am I missing here? I checked out the Heimdall guide here and it looks totally different given that it's version 1.1.

Do you see a "Browse" box?
Click the BROWSE box and it will be looking for a TAR file which you navigate to.
Also, don't do anything with PIT files, you don't need it and if done wrong or incomplete your phone will be bricked
exactly the same way as if you were to flash a pit file in Odin.
The PIT file is the partition information file, and once that's on your phone it never needs to be replaced or over-written
unless your phone is bricked.

You're talking about a Browse button under Heimdall Firmware Package? Yes.
Do I just navigate to the TAR.md5 that I extracted from the original zip? Or am I navigating to a TAR file in the folder I made with the 12 files? Because if it's the second one, I don't have any TAR files in there.
Sorry man, I know this is a pain. I really appreciate the help though.

I think I found something better and easier for you.......
Check this out: https://code.google.com/p/heimdall-one-click/downloads/list
Download and install both of the files, both of them are JAR free standing apps and they work on Mac OR PC since
they are both written in JAVA.
.
I forgot already, but on a PC before these files can be used the latest version of Sun System JAVA has to be installed
or updated..
But I think if I recall correctly, on a mac it's perhaps not needed.

So I've got it all running, however, the one-click asks for a "tar.gz file" and I don't have one. I'm reading that the Heimdall front-end creates a tar.gz file, but since browsing to the .zip I originally downloaded leads to an error, I'm not sure how this is done.

Yes, about an hour ago I recalled a guy here on XDA called Adam Outler and he is
the one who designed and made these two JAR Heimdall applications.
He used to be around here in XDA about a year ago and I just recalled his name
about an hour ago because we were talking about MAC and Heimdall.
He made many other projects for us here in XDA who had MAC computers
and had no access to a PC.

That's amazing. The never ending kindness of the community at its best lol
I'm still trying to figure out how to make a tar.gz file. I'm understanding that front-end makes it, and I've even watched a video guide, but no one specifies what file to use when you click "Browse..." and choose a file to put in as "Heimdall Firmware File"
I've been using the original .zip I downloaded from the rooting guide, but I get that error about the file being the wrong size or something.
So I tried to download the PIT just to see if I can even make parts of this program work. It failed.
When I researched the error "Claiming interface failed" I found this.
It describes some sort of issue with the fact that I've installed Kies.
Is this part of my problem?

Did you rename the TAR file? - if you did try naming it back to the original name.
All firmware TAR files are fully compatible with Heimdall and Odin plus Heimdall One-Click..
Also I know one thing for sure, that when you press the "Browse" button it's looking for a TAR file.
The MD5 just tells the winzip or winrar if the checksum of the file is the same as it's sopposed to be.
Another thing, the Heimdall One-Click JAR file also wants the TAR file, none of these things work
with Zipfiles with the exception of Mobile Odin, but that has a problem now, it's not yet compatible
with any of the Galaxy S4 variants like the M919 , I9500 and all the others.

Here's exactly what I've done so far, and I've re-downloaded everything so I have fresh files and filenames/extensions just to clear any mucking up I did:
I downloaded this file from this thread as I understand this is the stock firmware necessary to use here.
I unzipped the file, and used 7-zip to extract the tar.md5 which also extracted a .dll.
The tar.md5 file is named: M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_M919UVUAMDL_HOME_.tar.md5
I have installed Heimdall version 1.3.1 as the download site claims that version 1.3.2 broke compatability with many devices.
I downloaded the two .jar files you linked to which make up the one-click.
If all of this is correct so far, I'm understanding that I need to now feed a tar.gz file to heimdall one-click, however, I don't have any files that end in .gz. Just the tar.md5, which the one-click does not accept.
The button on the one-click literally says, "Select a Heimdall tar.gz for one-click" - So I'm lost there.
I'm reading that the front-end GUI is what would be used to create a tar.gz, but it seems to require downloading the PIT file from your phone, and this is failing now, possible due to me having installed Kies and now having different kernel extensions that apparently need to be unloaded (no idea how to do that lol).
This is so complicated! Makes me want to go buy a cheap netbook lol

Why not browse to the TAR file, you can also add the .gz to the filename.tar and see if it helps.

I've tried that too, and it just says, "error Could not write to temp folder" and then "Could not write to file"
The link below is of the site im talking about, i rooted my note 4 no problem before with this and im doing someone else phone. I downloaded the root files, go to extract and i get error and it wont do it. tried it 3 times on 2 computers same result. suggestions?
had to put a space before (.com) so it didnt show up as a link.
androidxda .com/root-samsung-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910p-sprint
Open the archive with 7zip or winwar and drag the files to an folder/location titled appropriately, like root or Odin under a main folder like SM-N910.
Thanks, i will try that when i get home. Just odd it worked fine when i did mine and now it says its corrupt.
No go with 7zip.
Chain Fire has a policy against redistributing his work. When I go to his thread and follow the link, I end up with the link below.
http://download.chainfire.eu/585/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-trltespr-trltespr-smn910p.zip
Also, no md5 to verify a good download. I'd suggest the proper link from this thread and use a PC to download. Maybe the source or bad download is what you're dealing with? You did try open archive and select all, drag to suggested folder, right? Don't recommend extraction; just double-click Odin, once folder is created, to execute and pick the file as directed in the thread below.

Thanks, i actually just found that about 30 mins ago and it worked great. saved that page for future use if i help anyone else to root there phone. been coming to this site for years very rarely do i have to post cause everything i ever need to know is on here somewhere.
[OBSOLETE THREAD]
This thread is obsolete. A solution was found, which is posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/method-to-root-lg-g4s-model-h735-lg-g4-t3248030
Please use the new thread for discussions.
------------------------
Original thread:
------------------------
Hi,
I have been trying to root the LG G4S (H735), also known as "LG G4 Beat".
I tried two things:
Approach 1
I tried the method posted by konsolen in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4s-world-root-lg-devices-t3231759
but it didn't work for me. I tried several times with varying approaches, but the boot process always gets stuck on the LG logo.
Approach 2
I also tried to inject the root as suggested in this thread for the G4:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/rooting-lg-h735-g4-beat-t3192491
I've used the Inject_Root_G4.zip from this link, which I believe is the same shared elsewhere:
https://mega.nz/#!BIxUzbqI!nt2YnGnGQlSiBQ-Ar-c-q7oDMIEsg6xd0Kmek-q0clg
And I get the same problem - stuck on the LG logo when booting.
For anyone who wants to reproduce Approach 2 to maybe find a solution:
1. Start up LGFlashTool2014. You can follow instructions in thread by konsolen (see Approach 1 above). You can use his .kdz file as well. Important: Pull out your USB cable as soon as the green letters COMX (with a number instead of X) appear on the phone. My flashtool actually didn't display the progress percentage, but apparently this at 9%. It doesn't matter if you don't see the percentage though, I've verified with this KDZ image that if you pull the cable at the very moment the green letters appear, nothing is corrupted. The phone will still display 0%. Leave it as it is after you unplugged the cable.
2. Kill your flash tool with the windows task manager. After it closed, you can plug the phone back in and open a windows command line in the folder where your Send_Command.exe is (you can download the package in konsolen's instructions which contains Send_Command.exe as well).
3. Open the console to your phone with
Code:
Send_Command.exe \\.\COMX.
(with your number instead of X)
You will have to do steps 1-3 every time you want to get this console, for example to run all the dd commands below.
4. Calculate the dd parameters and 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
5. Keep a copy of your system.img somewhere safe, you can use it to restore your system if something goes wrong. So don't use this original in the next steps!
6. Copy the .img file to a linux system and mount it. I'm guessing who is trying this knows how to do this. Anything you change in the folder you mounted the image on, will be saved in the image. You can then use this updated image to overwrite your original system partition, again with dd (as described in the thread by dominik-p) using your parameters. So here's the crucial bit: You get root access to your system files via linux. When you know the right things to mess with, you can root your phone with the updated image. Injecting the root as done in step 8 is one way to change the system on the G4 in order to root it.
7. [Optional] If you are new to this, you may want to do a simple test before you continue.
Create a testfile (test.txt) on the mounted system partition. Then copy the .img file back to your phone and try to "dd" it back over your system partition.
Then, check if you see the test file on your system partition -- you may have to reboot the phone after the dd command (and log back in with Send_Command.exe) in order to see the updates.
8. Inject root with the Inject_Root_G4.zip on the mounted folder of the image on your linux system. You can follow instructions (Step 2) here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
9. Copy the new img file to your phone and "dd" it over your system partition, using your own dd parameters.
10. Reboot the phone (you can also just type LEAVE in the Send_Command.exe console).
Now, it should be rooted - if it worked for you!
If it worked for you, that's great. It didn't for me, it got stuck on the LG logo in the boot process again. So I had to write my original system.img back onto my system partition to get the phone back.
I did get the following errors in Step 8 above, though I did try anyway to use the resulting image. The errors may have something to do with my problem, but it may also be because the inject root is for the G4, not the G4s.
Code:
sudo ./autoroot.sh
cp: cannot create regular file ‘operatingtable/lib64/libsupol.so’: No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access ‘operatingtable/lib64/libsupol.so’: No such file or directory
chcon: cannot access ‘operatingtable/lib64/libsupol.so’: No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access ‘operatingtable/bin/app_process64_original’: No such file or directory
chcon: cannot access ‘operatingtable/bin/app_process64_original’: No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access ‘operatingtable/bin/app_process_init’: No such file or directory
chcon: cannot access ‘operatingtable/bin/app_process_init’: No such file or directory
If anyone finds a solution to this, or has any ideas what could be tried, I would be very interested to hear it. I'm new to rooting phones and don't have much experience beyond what I did in the last days.
Cheers

Happy that my guide has helped you
As I said here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/rooting-lg-h735-g4-beat-t3192491/page5
Everyone who is interested to inject root must edit the autoroot.sh from the inject.zip and use the correct files from SuperSU
More information about the files:
https://su.chainfire.eu
Maybe you have to use other files. Not the files from the inject.zip
Download the Update-SuperSU zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Copy the files you need to the "su" folder of the extracted inject.zip
For information which files are needed read the "update-binary" file from the SuperSU zip.
(located here META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary)
Good luck everyone :good:
Thanks again for the links! I'll try again soon, when I get time for it, and report the results here
By the way, here's the ls -lR of my system.
Ok, no problem, take your time.
I've got also lot of other work to do...
I just read your system.txt (thanks)
According to these lines:
Code:
lrwxr-xr-x. 1 root 2000 13 Aug 24 02:05 app_process -> app_process32
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root 2000 13588 Aug 24 02:05 app_process32
It seems that the firmware is 32 bit.
More info about your firmware is in /system/build.prop
So you have to take the right lines from update-binary and copy them and edit the autoroot.sh
Please don't ask me which lines. It's a bit difficult... (you have to understand the logic in update-binary)
Then copy the files from the right folder (arm?) to the "su" folder.
Sorry. I'm out now here for the next time. I have a H815 and happy with it.
I think you will find the solution. :good:
Custom Recoverys
Hi All
Are there any custom recovery's for the G4 beat/G4s
Thanks
Thanks dominik-p for your help. Good luck with your other work, don't worry I won't distract you with asking questions You already helped a lot.
benji5688, you can check for official firmware (.kdz file) 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
but you should look for your specific model.

Hi,
I have been trying to root the LG G4S (H735), also known as "LG G4 Beat".
I tried two things:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
LOL
I did the exact same thing as you, and really the EXACT, I also contacted dominik-p for the same problem you got with the bs. LOL
Was about to do the same thing you did here too just told that to dominik-p lol.
You post is great, well detailled. Hope someone found something
But got something different. my phone is the LGH731 LG G4 Vigor from Videotron in Canada.
If someone need files or system.img LINK
That's not the exact same thing as the post owner but i'm pretty sure the root method will be. (DON'T use this system.img to inject in you H735) it's from a H731 and they don't have the same partition size.
Ha, that's funny, and you got the same problem of course (frozen logo boot).
We will find a solution. It's just a matter of time. I'm a bit pressed for work in the next days but I'll get back into it around mid week. I think the main problem was, as I suspected and also as dominik-p pointed out, we've been using the wrong inject files. And the G4s is 32 bit so obviously it won't work with 64 bit libs.
First thing I'll try is using the other files from the link dominik-p shared. I'll also read the guide and try to understand which files need to be changed to gain root access in general, i.e. learn the basics of how to root. Then I think/hope I'll be able to fix this. And finally get to move all my stuff onto SD and get my storage back
Meanwhile, if you get any new results, let me know.
Cheers

Yes i'm trying this today (the 32-64 bits thing)
Custom recovery
What does this file do though?
Is it a custom recovery or is it the stock rom?
Thanks Benji

It's the stock ROM. It can be used for recovery, depending what your problem is. If you destroyed your ROM by trying to root, you can recover with this.
If you mess with something in your system partition (where the Android OS is installed), you'd need a copy of your individual system partition (like a "backup") to restore. This highly depends on your phone/version, so you have to do this backup yourself. You can follow the instructions with the dd parameters, linked to from the main thread.
Are there any custom recoverys
Hi
Are there any custom recovery available, I want to get Xposed.
Can anyone make one?
Thanks for all the help

I far as I know to get Xposed you need to be rooted... Well there is no root method availaible, well you can try the methods that Jen explained here but I doubt they will work... if yes, you lucky ****
Is the g4s running marshmallow? Is so you would need to use a compatible su install.

No the problem is really just changing the 64 bits command to make then use the 32 bits ones
I manage everything except this one
Code:
chcon --reference=operatingtable/bin/app_process32 operatingtable/bin/app_process64_original
I agree with xsteacy, this will most likely not work, that's why we opened this discussion
We just have to find the right files to use (instead of the 64 bit ones).
I will get back onto the subject by Wednesday when I have time.
I solved it! My phone is rooted
I asked someone to test my script before I post the results. Hang on there, tomorrow I'll post the solution.
Good times!

0.0 OH!?
Ok I'm putting it out there for others to test as well.
Please report if it worked so I can take this into account before updating the main thread instructions.
In the attached .zip file there is a README with instructions.
Note: Thanks goes to @konsolen who shared instructions on how to open the COM port on the H735.
The script in konsolens post is essentially the upater-binary script of the SuperSU package, but with a few modifications.
That may have been necessary on konsolens phone, but it didn't work on mine. For me, using the original script worked.
However, the zip file has to be extracted manually with busybox before the updater-binary script is started. I am not
sure if busybox absolutely needs to be in the /sbin folder, but that's where I saw elsewhere that it belonged, so
I moved it over there in my script. I haven't tested this with busybox being elsewhere.
Thanks goes also to @dominik-p for sharing the link to excellent documentation and for his instructions on how
to make a backup (with dd) of your system, in case anything goes wrong.
UPDATE: I did all commands in root_lgh375.sh manually when I found it already worked, so please report if all is good with the script, but I think it should be, it only does what I did manually.
Congratulations @jen.magnolis
Well done
