[Help] SGW Rooting After OTA Update

Hi there just wanna find out as this morning I had updated my firmware to 2.3.6 via OTA.
Since these ROMs have been released here giving me no chance to try them....have learnt the latest update does not permit the phone to be rooted.
My mistake is that I had not rooted n flashed recovery prior to the OTA update.
Anyone care to share any method possible.....Thanks
P/S My latest firmware below and the screen capture upon rooting DoomLord Tool :

is actually an official 2.3.6 version can not be in the root ..
so should you restore to 2.3.5 and perform root verasi then install RZRecovery then install a custom ROM version Slim Shady.
good luck ..

I've just got root on the latest firmware using Samsung Recovery-Mode. Just check this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390234.

Lucky me. MY SGW already root, Then I update to 2.3.6 via OTA.
It's still rooted.

Phew !!! Almost Bricked my SGW..With Patience and No Itchy Fingers Stock ROM 2.3.5 = Recovered...Now Have Rooted Already.....Getting Ready !!!

Hi guys,
I'm an absolute noob when it comes to rooting and all this is my first smartphone and I dont intend to flash any ROMS till ICS ROMS come out....the recent FW update in the UK (XXKL3) is pretty smooth and works ok for me but there's one thing I'd like to know: is it likely a root for this firmware will be possible soon or are some FW permanently unrootable? I follow from all the topics in our forum that the latest samsung FW isnt rootable and u need flash the older FW to root. I want the root for 2 reasons:
1) To remove crapware that takes up memory and battery life
2) To use market enabler that would unlock location-specific apps.
Thanks for your help!!!!

Try Titanium Backup from the market

Thanks a million fender! Followed the instructions and rooted without any issues. First I installed the market enabler app that did what I was hoping; let me install apps not available in my country. Then I managed to get Titanium
Backup pro but it seems a rather complex app with lots of options and I'm not sure what the consequences would be of either 'uninstalling' or freezing some of the so called system apps. What are the dangers of maybe uninstalling some of the bloatware? Could it affect the normal function of the phone? Thanks again for the help

First you can backup applications before uninstalling them, so if it messes your phone up you just restore them. I usually remove bloatware like Accuweather, Yahoo Finance and various **** like that. Secondly, I suggest to make a backup through Recovery after you install it, so you're sure to have your back covered in case of breaking your ROM!

Are you referring to Arco's CWM?
By the way, I've begun freezing lots of system apps and processes to see how the phone would improve and looks plain sailing so far!! Noticing a slight improvement in battery life but still would welcome any suggestions about the apps I could target(since there are so many) that have more of an impact on the battery. Thanks once again!

With reference to freezing apps...
I've used SGSII community spreadsheet.....
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...1gdDJRekl4QmkyNmIzUmRvX2h3UDVkQXc&output=html
Don't go too crazy though... I found that freezing SNS will slow down SMS sending [fails] and you have to retry the send over and over....

Thanks Vyker. Is there really a difference between freezing and uninstalling as pertains to battery life? Will complete uninstall give better results than freezing or is it the same?
Sent from my GT-I8150 using XDA App

They are the same as I understand it.
I would recommend only freezing.

Thanks!!

If I could recommend Gemini App Manager, free from Market.
It can do what TB does, freezing and stopping auto runs. Best to use in Expert Mode.....but a good free alternative to TB paid app.

When you say you can't do anything, can you still get into recovery or download mode? If you can you have nothing to panic about. As said above, just download a stock rom and flash with Odin.

I would like to thank you all for helping me here. I am writing to you on my fixed galaxy note 2. Knowing that I could fix it was what I needed not to sound chezzy. But a quick search on google for stock roms got me what I needed and and flash throw odin did the rest. But on more questions is flashing a custom rom just as easy. Or can I [email protected]# it up again and if I do F it up again can I just reflash it again as long as I can get it into download mod

It's very hard to break the phone unless you flash firmware from a different phone or something silly like that. So long as you can enter download mode you can pretty much recover from anything.

You could Flash any Custom Rom but you need to be rooted ,
So Root your device first , Dont forget to back up EFS
Install a custom recovery like TWRP ,
Make a backup ,
Start Flashing , Any time Bootloop you can restore from backup

You get screwed if ROM is not for your device, whether it is stock/custom. Once you have correct ROM, both are easy, even stock is more easy.

}
First off none of this would be possible without @djrbliss
The Freegee app now includes support for the LG Optimus G Pro. While the bootloader is not unlocked per-say we do have a working exploit in loki thanks to drjbliss's work. I've take loki and reworked it into cwm (twrp support coming soon). This means that rom devs and kernel makers no longer have to "lokify" their images, it's done after flashing in recovery. Freegee also offers the possibility to disable lge security (wallpaper) on the stock rom.
Instructions
Please note: this requires root before you can install this! If you haven't rooted your phone yet, now is the time to do so.
There is a free and donation version of Freegee on the market. Both are exactly identical and always will be, except in the name.
Make sure the version is 1.1.0 or greater! You will brick if freegee is less than 1.1.0!
You can download the free app here and the donation app here.
When you run the app you can click on "Unlock my phone" to start the unlock process. It will ask you if you want to disable lge security or not. Please note to disable the lge security it's dependent on your sw version. If you are not supported, upload the boot.img through the app and I'll add you to the white list.

FAQ
Can I flash an OTA after installing a custom recovery?
No for two reasons. 1) You need stock recovery to apply the delta updates. 2) It's possible in a future update for the bootloader to be updated and loki patched or for loki to need to be reworked. Just don't try it.
Does this mean I can flash custom ROMs now?
Yes. However, the custom ROM must be made for your device. You don't have to worry if the rom or kernel has been lokified because these recoveries do it for you!
How can I uninstall this?
Click the "Restore with backups" button
Can I upload my backups?
Yes the application has built-in dropbox support. Access it through the settings menu.
Where is the source for you loki-fied recoveries?

That is correct. After you install a zip or use side load the boot and recovery partitions are checked and then lokified if needed automatically. So a kernel maker no longer needs to release desperate downloads just due to Loki. You can disable the check for Loki in the advanced options menu but there really is no need to unless a new unlocked boot loader is brought up.

Ruh roh. I downloaded this. Backed up my EFS (wasn't sure if that was necessary or not though I imagine that's where the IMEI is stored in case that is somehow wiped), the clicked unlock. It downloaded some files and installed CWM and said everything was successful. Now when I reboot I get "Secure booting failed. Cause: Device Unlocked" or something. It then flashes the LG logo again and then the AT&T animation plays and the Home LED button flashes forever. It will not boot and I can't use any button combo to get to recovery. What did I do wrong and do I have to LGNPST back to stock again?
I was rooted and nothing else. No custom recovery. Also, I chose to disable LGE Security when prompted? Any ideas?

Purchased the donate version. Thank you, so much!! :good:

Question I currently have TWRP installed what if any would be the advantages of using FreeGee?
When the f*ck did we get ice cream??

I installed this and tried to reboot into recovery to make a backup....the phone will not turn on...it seems completely dead! Any ideas? I plug it into charge...no light at all...pulled battery too...still nothing! Could it be hard bricked?

I just posted about this right before you. Best bet is to wait until @Shelnutt2 gets back online. Unless of course you'd rather just LGNPST back to stock. Myself, I'd rather try to fix it first since I literally just set my phone back up after a softbrick just about 2 weeks ago.
Edit: Flashed to stock with flash tools. Oh well, I'm used to it by now, haha. I probably messed up by trying to 2 button into recovery. I read a few comments now about using a program to boot to recovery. I don't know if 2 keying into recovery trips some sort of flag that causes it to not boot correctly. If that is the case, then let this comment server as a warning to others.
Thanks for the program anyways.

awesome job on making this app, but im gonna hold off on trying it for now. im on at&t but seeing alot of people talking about how they bricked, plus i just sold my laptop so right now aint nobody got time for that. but i will do it soon. cant waite for a way to get the second init recovery off here without flashing back to stock and to boot twrp with a button combo. still a great phone and i see awesome stuff coming to it soon....

Very strange how this is messing up some phones, when I was testing for shelnutt2 everything went fine on my phone. I did the security unlock as well and I seen it flashing with success and rebooted fine. Is anyone using this getting the phone to boot up normally?

I rooted using this method while still on 4.1.2 and it worked flawlessly.
I then paid for and installed SuperSU Pro and activated "Survival Mode"
Lastly, after the OTA update was COMPLETELY finished, I followed this simple procedure to get root back again.
SuperSU disables Knox for you on 4.3 which is also nice. I should have qualified here that I am COMPLETELY stock other than root. I have not "frozen" any apps., deleted any Samsung provided files, etc. and I have stock bootloader and stock recovery. This will likely NOT work if you have done any of those things.

Is there a flashable version of this? If not, can somebody make one? Thanks.

I'm running a custom rom and rollouts/updates from vendors freak me out because I don't trust not one of them. Knowing AT&T they have thrown in some bit of encryption that locks the bootloader. I understand this might not be the case this time but I do know none of them can be trusted.
Now if you excuse me, I'm 1/2 done with 1984 the book and my tin foil hat is making me itch.

Guys I need help I am stuck, I am using unlock att with tmobile, I check software update but it days interrupted, and I even tried with kies but it's not connecting at all, I tried 2 pcs.... Any help... What to do to update it... Please

I rooted using this method while still on 4.1.2 and it worked flawlessly.
I then paid for and installed SuperSU Pro and activated "Survival Mode"
Lastly, after the OTA update was COMPLETELY finished, I followed this simple procedure to get root back again.
SuperSU disables Knox for you on 4.3 which is also nice.

I have a few questions for you and/or those more in the know:
If I were to do this same thing, would I be able to flash a custom recovery (like TWRP) and/or flash custom ROM's/Kernels like I can already do now? One of my main concerns is that the stock kernel doesn't support Boeffla Sound, and that really makes for better audio on this device...might as well take full advantage of that Wolfson DAC...
I have to admit, it would be nice to be able to use pure AT&T stock, but rooted, as a base...this is why I loved the old CleanROM AT&T SE so much...
TIA for any guidance you can give on this.
Side note: after ODIN'ing back to 4.1.2 MA4, it says I have a 741MB update I can take....I'm sure that's this 4.3 update...Culpeper, VA here.

I did the same as marchusdavis but it resulted in a total disaster. After I downloaded the OTA update from AT&T I restarted my phone and it installed through CWM-Touch. At the end it asked if I wanted to ensure root was maintained and of course I said "yes" there (as well as through my SuperSU Pro Survival Mode). When it booted, my WiFi no longer works AND I lost root.
If anyway has any advice on how to get to a stock 4.3 from here please let me know!

Ugh, having trouble updating atm.
Goes up to 30%, then my phone reboots and says
"The update was interrupted" or something like that
On stock 4.1.2 rooted with stock recovery if anyone can help.

I don't believe so, as I am completely stock, bootloader and all. If you want to install other ROMs, you'd need to use a different method I believe. Likely downloading this update either via Kies or something else, and use ODIN to do everything. If you search around a bit on XDA, you'll probably find someone who has done it successfully and posted how. While I like custom ROMs, I have not had a need to use one yet on this device. However, if Samsung doesn't eventually give us Air Command, that might be enough to make me try it!

Is it possible to get the official update from the leak or do I have to downgrade to 4.1.2? I tried updating from the leak but it said it's the latest version.

i dont think you can brick your phone using one click methods, since they root via exploits and not by flashing.. also a536's source code is opensource, so maybe if someone can make a ROM from that it'd be much appreciated o.o
