[Q] New Nexus Problem

Hey guys! First off i just wanted to say hi to my fellow nexus owners. I just got mine today and i can't wait to start using it. Here's the problem. When i bought the Nexus the previous owner upgraded it to 4.1.2 since it was rooted. The issue with what he did is that there is no google account on my phone. This means no google play, gmail, google waller etc. To make it worse i went to the rooting app (super Use I think?) and clicked unroot. I thought it would unroot my phone and all the google related apps would come back. They didn't and i deleted the rooting app I am now stuck with a rooted phone with no rooting app and i can't get any apps including marketplace. I know i'm supposed to flash a rom that will have google but the problem is that all the tutorials ask to make sure you have one of the 10 - 15 build numbers and phone models the phones come with. But my phone doesn't have them because it was rooted. What do i do?

do you have any basic flashing skills? and which carrier?

I have the basic skills. I've did it on my old galaxy ace. But when i did it everything was on the factory defaults. I'm worried i might mess up because he already rooted and flashed a rom on the phone. I just need some instructions on what i should do first. I was thinking i should re-root my phone and then just apply another, more reliable rom. Maybe the 4.1.1. Another problem is that on the tool kit there is no option for 4.1.2 and the weird build number i have.

Just return the device to factory settings by flashing the Google images. I'd never trust the firmware that someone else put on a phone.

[Q] Need advice: i9195 LTE with KNOX+should I upgrade to KitKat? low volume

Hi,
I've been reading allot but I got lost a bit.
I have an i9195 LTE bought in Germany (but not used in Germany), and the biggest problem I have is the low volume of the device. I can barely hear the ring.
I decided to wait for the KitKat update to see if triggering KNOX will cause problems.
I tried the safe root which did not work for me.
Should I update to KitKat and then root? Will the update itself improve the volume issues?
Do you recommend updating to KitKat or will it bring more problems?
Important: I "unlocked" the device in Germany with a local sim, the update should not reverse this, right?
I am also missing the option to choose LTE network, how can I fix this?
Many Thanks !
Details of my device:
Model number: GT-i9195
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband version: I9195XXUBML4
Kernel version: 3.4.0-2340422

anyone please?

Waiting for an answer too, volume is quite low yeah but I've read KitKat users have many bugs and it is better to stick to 4.2.2 for a lil bit..

NO!!! .. you have ml4 i think it doesnt have knox !! .. wait as the kitkat wont help you .. just wait for a stock no-knox rom and flash my volume boosting mod

It does have knox, and from what I read it doesn't have saferoot available.
It's hard to follow all the threads regarding the rooting options and possible issues I will encounter, so I hope someone could recommend me what to do..
* The main issue that bothers me is the volume, which I need root to fix.
* If I root will it be problematic to upgrade to KitKat?
* Is KitKat better or should I stick with 4.2 ?
Thanks !!

S4 T-Mobile Root Help!

Hey there folks! I'm looking to root my S4 but I'm having trouble locating the files I need to download so I can be rooted & if I can still root my S4.
My S4 Info
Model #: SGH-M919
Android Version: 4.4.4
Baseband Version: M919UVUFNK2
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-2437203 [email protected] #1 Mon Nov 17 19:20 KST 2014
Build Number: KTU84P.M919UVUFNK2
SE for Android Status: Enforcing SEPF_SGH-M919_4.4.4_0032 Wed Oct 15 17:16:50
Secure Boot Status: Samsung
Security Software Version:
MDF v1.0 Release 3
VPN v1.4 Release 2
So with all of this info, can someone please direct me (preferably via a link to the proper thread) to ALL the files I need in order to root. I've been browsing through some of the How-To threads already but nothing is really set-in-stone if the FNK2 4.4.4 Firmware is rootable? I've also been out of the Root Game for a long while (over a year) since I last rooted anything and I totally forgot how to root. So can someone remind me how to root? For my build# S4, do I use the drag-and-drop file loading OR Odin 3.6 program on a computer to do it?? Also, keep-in-mind.... I want to keep root as close as possible to stock 4.4.4.
Thank you for any detailed info.

I second this, I have the same build and all that but the only thing I can really find on it is to downgrade to 4.4.2 and do towel root. Not sure if this is the only way or not currently.

Google Chainfire's S4 root.

So this is the closest thing I found on the www.autoroot.chainfire.eu site:
samsung SGH-M919 jfltetmo jfltetmo MSM8960 msm8960 KTU84P.M919UVUFNH7 4.4.4 24 067 069 Download b354bc04aa16351305edfd33e85a58bf 212 032
Ummm.... I'm gonna say what I found above ^ is not the same as the Build# FNK2 that I have? Sooooo what happens now, because that still does not rectify the issue at-hand? Now correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't I brick my S4 if it tries to flash the FNH7 over my FNK2? Yeah, I don't want to do that because it would be a compatibility issue right? So like it was mentioned before, can rooting be accomplished for the FNK2 Build?
- Is it just not possible,
- is it not possible at this time because it has yet to be worked on,
OR
- do I just "test" this overwrite method of flashing FNH7 over my FNK2 and most likely end up screwing myself over with a bricked S4 because I'm going off someone's "it will/should work" (untested) hypothesis??
Note: Details about what someone did to get an FNK2 Build S4 rooted would be really nice.
Thank you.

It still works lol. Do it the same way as you would with nh7. You're not flashing firmware, just rooting. Use chainfires autoroot in odin then odin twrp or whichever recovery you prefer and you're in business. I'm running nk2 rooted right now.

Relax Spicy, Mr big is correct your not flashing firmware, it's just a temporary recovery that allows a root exploit to take place.
You then flash the corresponding recovery for your phone and now you enter the *bricking* zone, if you don't read that is.
I recommend CWM over twrp.

I want to root my phone and I need help!

Hello XDA devs! I'm looking to root my phone again and I've been looking all over and trying different things and I can't get my phone rooted.
Some basic info about my phone:
Device: Sprint LG G2 LG-LS980
Hardware version: Rev.1.0
Android version: Android 5.0.2
Kernel version 3.4.0
Build Version LRX22G
Software version LS980ZVG
I have rooted my phone before, but after an update the root was gone and I haven't been able to get it re-rooted after that. There's a lot of things I'd like to try with my phone but I'm pretty sure most of that requires root access. I'm fully aware of the possibility of "bricking" my phone and I'm prepared to deal with that if it happens.
I can't seem to find instructions on how to root with android 5 and I'm wondering if someone could at least get me going in the right direction.
Guidance on how to back up and restore the phone would be helpful just in case.

How to Root Sprint Galaxy Note 4 guide as of 10/2015

Hi guys, haven't been here in ages! (since I rooted my Note2) Things have changed in forum and I no longer see the stickies (or pinned) threads on rooting.
Last time I rooted, it all depended on the version you were on and back then, there were different ways of doing it - all again depending on the version you were running. (also no KNOX existed)
Can someone please point me to the most up-to-date tutorial? I don't want to pick the wrong one and brick my device.
Thank you.
Here are my details:
Software version: N910PVPU4COG5
Hardware version: N910P.05
Model number: SM-N910P
Android Version: 5.1.1
Baseband version: N910PVPU4OG5
Kernel version: 3.10.40-5303209
Build Number: LMY47X.N910PVPU4COG5
Security software version: MDF v2.0 Release 1, VPN v1.4 Release 5.2
KNOX version: KNOX 2.4.1

Make sure to read the whole post but this is the one I have used. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62228433

Post # 56 in that thread linked above contains a live Beastmode kernel link plus other useful links and notes.

Thank you guys. Started reading that thread and gave up. Very confusing as you are being asked to do things you can't do unless you are already rooted. Very confusing and just didn't make sense. Thank god for post #56 lol
Did you have any problems installing TWRP?

Also, this guide is for stock rom, rooted, correct?

sorry so many questions, but primary reason for rooting is tethering. Are you guys able to tether after this procedure?

There is a method posted in this forum for hotspot with out root. You will need your MSL, but easily done with simple tools.

That's awesome! Thanks.
Now if i could also write to sdcard without root, then i could live without it!
