[Q] Unable to restart into Recovery-mode after root-attempt - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As described in this post;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49087889&postcount=559
After I attempt to root my phone, it won't let me start into Recovery-mode.
Someone then replied that he should try with a previous version of CWM but didn't provide a link to find it (CWM 6.0.3.7).
After searching for a while, I still can't find the thread/file referred to. So could somebody point me in the right direction?

Although I didn't use any of your links, thanks for the help.
Here's what I used (with the instructions from the Arco68-thread): http://rootwiki.net/en/android-root-anleitungen/342-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-gt-i9195-root-tutorial/
Problem solved.

Bird V1277 root

Anyone successfully rooted v1277 with Superoneclick? I know there's a general thread on rooting this phone, but I was curious about this method specifically and if it worked for anybody. There's also UnlockRoot, but it doesn't seem trustworthy.

Thanks, I was already aware of that thread. I'm trying to see if anyone successfully rooted this phone using Superoneclick.
Decided to forget about it and use the guide after all. Ran into the local.prop issue, but was able to get by it. Thanks to FrankVM for all the valuable info.

Rooting Issues

Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum, so forgive me if this issue has already been covered. I've searched the LGOG forum here and couldn't find it mentioned. So here goes:
I'm trying to install Google Wallet and everything I've read about said you have to root your phone. I'm running 4.1.2 by the way, and my software version is LS970ZVB. I've tried at least a dozen different ways to root, all to no avail. Here is the message I get when I run ZV9-JB-Root. It seems to fail right off the bat, giving me the "mount: permission denied (are you root?)" and "Read-only file system" errors.
Any help would be extremely appreciated!

If you just want root, try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181103
Make sure the screen doesn't turn off, and you may have to run as administrator/not administrator.

Need Sprint LG-LK430 QCN - LG Gpad F7.0

Good Morning Everyone!!!
First off I would like to say sorry if i am posting this under the wrong section but i was not able to find a section for the Gpad 7.0 (if it is can a mod please move) So back to my dilemma here well I hard brick my New LG GPad from sprint a few days ago and I cannot get this thing up and running mainly because of the lack of availability of files (No KDZ, No TOT) so im wondering is someone on the forums who owns a WORKING Sprint LG GPad F7.0 (LGLK430) would be able to send me a copy of a backup of the device from QPST in the QCN format so that i can try to restore my device that way. Or if someone has one of the lg firmware files preferably the TOT or the hex files for QPST (None of the ones i have found online seem to be compatible with this device) that would work aswell. I know alor of people are going to say " Why dont you just take it back to sprint?" and I dont want to do this because i enjoy working with my devices and leaning new things and correcting my mistakes, taking the tablet back will be like my last resort. So sorry for the long post but i just wanna say thanks in advance to anyone who can help out
Hi! I don't have your device but if I might make a suggestion. Google for lg_imei_checker_2014_b1, enter your device's IMEI and see if the IMEI checker will provide a download for a KDZ for your device. Good luck!
Hello, Thank you for the response unfortunately i have already tried this method and there does not seem to be one publicly available and i say that because this website gaodi.net seems to have the TOT and KDZ but i was not able to get an account setup or meet the requirement due to unknown errors

Don't wanna mislead people. I'm not an experienced guy. I dumpped the stock recovery following the instruction in the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-pad-10/general/dev-thread-lg-g-pad-7-0-8-0-10-1-t2838995). But, I'm not sure if I did it correctly and is this the file to save your pad from not booting or how to do it. The bottom line is that I don't wanna make it worse.
So, if you know what you're doing and you can tell from the file that it is exactly what you are looking for, PM me and I'll send you the link. Otherwise, I suggest you may get help from someone knows about compile stuff.

I'm not sure if you got my PM, but I do know exactly what I need. That is the stock recovery.img for the LG G Pad F 7.0 LK430 (which is the Sprint variant).
I made the mistake of attempting to install TWRP for a different version of the G Pad back when I originally bought the device. Now I have no recovery.img and cannot factory reset. If you have extracted the recovery.img from your stock LK430, that would indeed help me and I would greatly appreciate it.

Could someone please send me the recovery image as well? (Or ideally, upload it to a file hosting site and post a link so that people don't have to keep bugging you for it!) I want to install Xposed but I have no way of backing up my device since Nandroid doesn't support it! I rather have to go back to factory than be stuck with a brick should anything go horribly wrong. Thanks.

From the translation here is what I gathered for the root.
1. Download the nokia n1 driver in your computer; 2)Settings-Developer potions-USB debugging-on.
2. Unlock your device >Settings>Developer potions-OEM unlocking>on. Restart the device and get in fastboot mode .Link your device to computer and use ADB to type in"fastboot oem unlock".Wait for a while and it will be OK.
3. Choose the "boot集成su"-"flashrootboot.bat" and run it.
Thanks a lot. The file attached seems not to be downloadable (but it is via the link provided on the baidu website).
Unfortunately, this does not work for me - for whatever reasons, I don't have the OEM unlocking option in the Developer's section

Unlocking Bootloader

So I could only find one relevant thread about unlocking your bootloader and it was a question about tripping Knox.
My question is how do I unlock the bootloader at all? I've posted on two threads in error, apparently off topic, so here's my own.
I need to unlock my bootloader to flash TWRP to flash Magisk. Please help me. I'd like to think I'm somewhat competent.
I have an SM-G920P Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 with v5.0.1 (Lollipop).
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:

Huh, okay. I vaguely remember there were a few reasons to not even update to 5.1.0 with respect to rooting. I intentionally avoided it. But I can give it a try. Although this was a while ago, so it all might have been remedied since. I'll just use Smart Switch.
So when you say "first of all," I assume this is relevant to unlocking my bootloader, or is this an unrelated suggestion?

Thank you both for the generous offer of assistance. One of the few good and supportive message boards out there.
It was a pain the ass process, but I got Magisk working. I had to work outside of the actual instructions I found on Reddit. Trial and error.
But I don't think I would have even bothered had I not known that my bootloader was already unlocked. Another reason I'm glad to be with Sprint. And on XDA .:good:
To anyone that reads this, if you need help figuring out Magisk, you can PM me about what I did.

You need to enable Developer Options (Settings -> About Device -> Tap on "Build number" until it is enabled) and then go to "OEM unlock" and turn that to "On."
I have written and maintain a complete set of instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862
Follow that you will have root and recovery.
NOTE: If you just install TWRP and do not root, the phone will overwrite that and go back to stock recovery.
Best of luck.
