Hello guys. I am posting this thread because I rooted my LG G3 and everything was going fine until I saw a system update for my phone and I got it. Turns out that wasn't the smart thing to do and when the system update was finished, when I would try to go on SuperSU it wouldsay that my SU binaries were not up to date and that I would have to manually re-root my phone. When i go on the play store, it says "no connection" even with wi-fi on. I already tried to factory reset my phone the root is still there and since I can't access the play store I can't do most of the things some youtube videos show. Any idea on how to unroot my phone? I would really appreciate if you would show me a step by step process on how to fix this problem?

That guide is for all variants just follow the one for yours closely. I see this is your first post so I will tell you this before someone who isn't as nice comes along and says it: always search before starting a thread like this. This guide and many others have been available for months and are easily found with a quick Google or forum search. Also, just a word of advice, if you are rooting your phone and/or installing custom recoveries, do not ever take an over-the-air update. You could end up doing some serious damage to your phone that way. From your description of the problem though, it almost sounds as if you have screwed up your EFS partition since you have no WiFi (which is managed through the EFS as well as your IMEI # and other various cell tower connections and their corresponding information). If your EFS partition is shot and you didn't make a proper backup beforehand, then your phone is toast as far as wireless connectivity goes. Your EFS information is device specific so it cannot be obtained from anyone else or restored via the method I posted above. Good luck though man and hopefully it works after returning to stock. Let me know if you have any more specific questions you need help with.

I rooted my note 2 this saturday however as I did so it messed up my phone.
I created a topic here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41721811#post41721811
I received replies however it wasn't help that I could use for someone with my rooting capablities.
The original problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/newr...e=1&p=32466314
I followed the directions outlined in the topic I linked to above to root my Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
However once the rooting process was done my phone came back on and it was completely unable to read the sim card.
Not only that it wouldn't stay on. After 5 minutes the screen would go black however the power would still be on as I can see my led light flashing that I'm receiving messages and alerts.
To hopefully fix this I went ahead and unrooted my phone using the same application in the topic linked to above and the results are that it still won't read my sim and it the power issue is the same.
Can someone please help me out with this and provide the instructions I need to return my phone back to what it once was.
Then can someone also provide a reliable way of rooting the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 that won't cause my phone to become unresponsive.
Thanks

Whats happening now
I am not very advanced at all when it comes to flashing and rooting.
It's hard for me to just go and flash my phone that's why I had used that simple program that I linked to in the OP.
I just looked in the settings on my phone it it says
Mobile Network Type = Unknown
Service State = Out of service
My phone number = Unknown
IMEI = Unknown
IMEISV = Unknown
Device Status = Modified
I could really use some exact instructions on what stock rom for the note 2 is best and step by step instructions on how I flash it on.
I could also use some help with finding step by step instructions on how to root my note 2 successfully without running into this problem again.
Thanks

and my last post in my previous topic
So I followed the instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2052779 there to try and un-root my phone however I am still with the same results.
The phone reads my IMEI number as unknown and it still cannot read my sim card at all. My power comes on but once it goes inactive it stays off and to turn it back on I have to take the battery out, replace it, then power back on only for it to do the same thing and the process to be repeated once more.
I could really use some step by step instructions say for instance is there another way I can go about restoring stock ware on the phone. If so where are the links to the programs I need to download and what is the sequence I use those programs exactly to restore my phone back to stock. What commands and instructions need to be done within those programs.
I would like to root my phone once it's been returned back to a working functioning status as I cannot make calls or anything right now. I was looking at putting Cyaneogen Mod on it however if there is a better software I would appreciate if you could point it out. What programs do I use and how do I use those programs exactly so that I don't end up with the same result that I have right now where I
m unable to do anything with my phone.
I really hope someone helps me at the level I'm asking. I know it's a lot but I will be really grateful for the assistance.

I can really use some step by step instructions on what to do including links to whatever programs I need to use as well as how I use those programs exactly. Please please please someone help me as I can't afford to buy a new phone right now.
Bump.
Please don't forget about me. I really need help here.
Ok rooting is so stupid simple that id never even thought about using one of those root toolbox things. First you get the root file on your pc. I believe this is specific for your carrier and exact model of your phone. You can find this file on in the specific forum for model and carrier on this very site. Then you get odin also on your pc, also found on this site. Then follow 2-3 very simple instructions on how to flash it using odin. The exact instructions escape me since ive only done once or twice because I have never needed to go back to stock. The instructions will be found wherever odin and the root file are. Once everything listed is on your pc, from start of root process to finished is maybe 30seconds max.
Ive seen ALOT of issues where someone has screwed the pooch with those toolboxes.
You may have flashed the wrong root which has in turn wiped your carrier settings. If you can atleast turn your phone on and get to your app drawer then go into superuser or supersu app whichever app was installed and try removing root.
As far as all those settings are concerned there maybe a way to re inpit the necessary info. Like I said before, find the note specific to your carrier forum here and do a bit of reading. Thats how I stumble upon everything I know about my phone.
Another thing you could try is if your phone is still in usable state as far aswifi is concerned you could download goomanager (recovery installalation and rom tool) use that to install a new recovery, first thing id try from is a factory reset which can be done in recovery. Choose that option and reboot and see of your setting are good. If not then flash all new stock rom. With a new recovery you can flash an all stock plus rooted properly version of 4.1.2. The stock version is around 850megs so best to do that fron the pc as well. Once the download is done you can transfer that to the goomanager folder on internal memory load the app and choose the option flash roms, then check the box for the stock rom and click option order and flash on bottom and phone should reboot to recovery. Once in recovery there options for factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and then flash roms. Choose to factory reset again then wipe the caches then choose flash option till it where the rom is and click done it will do the rest.
Hope this gives you what you need. If there is something ive left out please someone else chime in here.

Maybe try and flash back to factory image first. You can use Odin for clean factory image. You will lose all your personal files but at this point I would start from a fresh new flash.

I've been looking around this website and trying to fix my soft bricked at&t galaxy sgh i747(failed root) but there are multiple methods and it's extremely confusing. I've even lost all my data from a factory reset. I've tried to follow these instructions the most because no sd card is required (which I don't have) and it's the simplest:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
I downloaded the second cwm link but I can't seem to get it into into odin because none of the extensions are being recognized. I've been trying different methods for about 3 days now and nothing has worked. It took me hours just to get odin to recognize my sIII. Is this even the correct method to follow?
I just wanted to debloat all the crap those corporate parasites forced onto my device but it's not worth the headache. Please point me to the correct thread or whatever so this torture can end and i can be on my way. thank you so much.
BACKGROUND:
I don't have an SD CARD and the android version was 4.4.2 before the brick. i tried using kingo root which rooted the verizon version on my at&t phone and then I uninstalled some bloatware with an app and when I closed the app, the top bar started to flicker and then it closed. I have not found any posts with my situation and I'm beginning to think I'm SOL. Posts have told me that my phone cannot be downgraded because you can't use a lower android version and other posts say you need an SD card. I'm able to get to the download mode and factory reset page.
The phone even boots onto the home screen for the wizard guide, but when it gets to google services it says the wizard has stopped. I'm able to mess around with a few things like the settings/camera but there are no apps.
Will someone tell me if there is any hope. There are so many tutorials out there, but I have yet to find a clear one for my situation.

Properly the reason you bricked it was that you flashed something from this forum which is the international i9300 and any file here will not agree with your phone. You need to report your post and get it moved to the at&t forum where they might be able to help you.
Ok, first of all, new to rooting and all that follows. However, I'm not new to forums and if this is in the wrong category, or if I overlooked a similar post, I am sorry. Feel free to redirect me to wherever you see fit. I know just too well how similar posts can be annoying, but I feel like I've exhausted Googlesearching and looked everywhere I can think of.
So, I have a Note II. N7100, Android 4.4.2 and I want to root it. Googlesearching has found me a lot of nice looking ROMs, and besides looks the added functions tempt me. Wont be long until I upgrade to a Note 4 or 5 anyway, figure I might as well. For what its worth, I live in Norway, and AT&T does not exist over here, nor does any other major american carrier. USB debugging was on the entire time.
I got the Odin V3.10, and appropriate clockworksmod files, and thought everything was peaches. Into download mode (after backing up ofc), Odin finds it, I upload everything and Odin says "PASS" in nice, green letters. When it reboots, it looks the same as before, but.. "Unfortunately, SuperUser has stopped", Titanium backup does not work since it apparently isnt rooted. Root Checker says the same. However, when checking for updates my phone displays "The operating system on your device has been modified in an unautorized way. Try downloading software updates using Samsung KIES on your PC, or visit a customer service center."
Read alot about devices having to be unlocked from carrier, however all google searches on "how to check for carrier lock on Note 2" yields numbersequences I have to input into the dialler and dial. None of the sequences give anything other than "Connection problem or invalid MMI code". I honestly dont remember if its carrier locked or not.
I came across an article here on XDA saying that with the later versions of android, KNOX has become an issue when trying to root, but someone had found a way around it. I downloaded MJ5BLPatch.tar.md5, uploaded to my phone via Odin, and here it fails, looses connection with the device and cant reconnect. Phone displays something alon the lines of "Invalid magic code" or the similar in red text.
I am the newb here, looking for help, and if I screwed up big somewhere I am cool with a little flaming. I just want to squeeze this for what use I can before upgrading, and probably rooting that too.
Any help as to how I can root it and load custom ROMs? I appreciate any and all help, sincerely.
Forget that MJ5 bootloader related stuff.
Reflash CWM using Odin and untick auto reboot, run through and reboot manually.
After reboot into recovery flash SuperSu.zip, start supersu after reboot system and disable knox by following the advices from app.
Thank you very much. i feel exceedingly stupid, I had been using the guide found on Note2root.com, when I applied step by step from this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143479) everything worked out. hope this may be of help to anyone having the same issues.
Again, thank you very much for your help.
Just Rooted LG G3. Have both KINGUSER&SUPERSU. Can't uninstall/replace. PLEASE HELP!
Finally succeeded in rooting my LG G3. Have Sprint LG G3 5.0.1 LS990ZVE. Newer to computers and technology such as this, especially android, as far as entering this deep into information. Hours of research and a couple attempts finally lead to success in rooting phone. Process that I found on this website led me the way. Used 'LG_ROOT_SCRIPT'. Well, after being successful, I am now stuck with both KINGUSER and SUPERSU. I cannot get rid of or replace either one. (all I have read is leading me to believe that SUPERSU is superior to KINGUSER, so I would like to have that on operable.) I have tried numerous strategies that I have found all over internet and nothing seems to work. Some processes I am weary of doing because I do not want to accodently unroot my phone. If someone could help and possibly teach me how to go about this, I would be very grateful. Please keep in mind that even though I am not an unintelligent person, I seem to be very inadequate when it comes to subjects such as these. Thank you for your time. Please help.

I had that same issue. Then it would not let me update the binaries for supersu and get rid of Kinguser. I take it that it is doing the same to you? You either have to do it manually by getting into the actually files and renaming supersu and flashing it. What I did though is I downloaded an apk called SUPERSUME 6.0 that you can find either here in xda Or just by googling it. There will be a minsstream version that you have to pay for, which would be nice to do if you want to support, there is also an apk version you can download for free, just keep searching. All you would have to do is download and install the program. Open and run it. Don't mind it saying sketchy **** that may make you think twice when you first begin program. (i stopped it at first. Lol) just run the program. At the end it will ask you to open supersu or it will just do it for you. Open it and update and you will have supersu ready and running.

Hey mate dont be afraid to remove Kingroot..
Since you have a custom recovery, you can always just flash superSU (version for your rom/device) via the recovery, and update the superSU binary within the app when you launch it for the first time. You will receive 2 options. Normal update, custom update.. Choose normal update.. Youll be prompted to reboot.. Do so, and you're rooted . Now you need to open superSU app, and configure some settings to your liking.. You're safe to remove Kingroot/user and delete its app data.. Then reboot phone in to custom recovery and clear cache and dalvik-cache from recovery and reboot back in to system.. And you're done..
***NOTE*** if you plan on installing an app called lucky patcher (cant really discuss it because of its usage purpose). Just make sure you disable "Mount namespace seperation" from superSU settings so that the app can function correctly..

I've done many dumb things to this phone but I've finally found something I have not been able to recover from. Let's start with the list of things you guys will have me try that I've already done.
- FlashAll to the latest as well as the "Return to Stock" thread here on XDA
- Lenovo's Recovery Tool (I thought someone on XDA might be wrong about something and went with the Mfg's software, sorry I doubted you guys.)
I'm using linux so I convert your Flash bat to an sh but I've never had issues doing so before. I've rooted this and three other phones and I'd like to think I know what I'm doing I've spent about two weeks on here and other Android forums but this time I need to actually ask for your help.
Now on to my issue.
I installed Lineage OS using their lovely guide and everything was great until I found out my WiFi isn't working. Well can't have that, return to stock! Oh my WiFi is still dead. Wait now I can't even enable dev options because I cannot get past the initial setup without WiFI. OK full reset wipe and restore. Nope nothing doing.
It shows MAC unavailable in the initial setup. adb shell over via recovery shows no wlan0 then I tried TWRP and also OrangeFox because I saw a similar fix with it. I try ip link show but ip isn't there tried to su but it's not going. I think I have eveything mounted right but I'm more Arch than Android :\
And in 5 seconds someone is going to link a thread on here I couldn't find in the search with a easy 3 step procedure. But just in case that doesn't happen feel free to ask for any logs.
I'm a dumb. Be sure you do the Pre-install instructions as these are what fixed my issues.
Hi, is your phone ATT version? Thanks.
