Hi all,
I've been away from XDA for a while. meantime, my phone went back to stock and upgraded to the latest official E98820C-SEA-XX version. Now I got spare time to play with my phone and it won't allow me to root.
I've tried TowelRoot, Stomp Root and SRS One Click too. All of them cannot help. Is there any other way to root the phone in current state or do I need to downgrade it back to 4.1.2 and then root it?
thanks and regards,
Spidy.
Edit:
now I can root successfully by F240 method. But still not able to flash a suitable recovery. FreeGee is not supported on this rom.

Hi,
How to root LG SU 640 with V20F firmware. My phone was on V20D rooted, then updated to V20F with LG PC software and lost root. Procedures for older versions seem to be not working with this. Is there any way to root? Need root to 1. uninstall annoying Korean SKT apps, 2. install custom ROM.
Thank you.

Revert to GB rom, root, flash custom recovery, flash custom rom.

Thanks, If I want to stick with stock for a while then? And flashing ROM is a tedious process, I would keep it as last option. Noway to root V20F?
you can root it, you cant put custom recovery.
best bet is to get back to GB root, custom recovery, put custom Stock ics rom if thats what you want.
Edit: i have rooted it but dont remember if that was 20D or 20F, but i did get root and able to delete system files. but get soft brick every time i tried to flash recovery. but after the new wind kernels i forgot about ICS and stock ROM's.
Hello everyone,
My brand new n5100 came with 4.1.2 out of the box, but upgraded to 4.2.2 OTA immediately (XXCMI1).
Right after that, I tried to install either CWM or TWRP through Odin3, with no success. It says PASS, but when I boot in recovery (home+vol.up+power), all that I have is stock recovery.
Does anyone know what's going on? Any ideas on how to do it?
My final objective is to root the device. Framaroot exploits are no working anymore. Should I proceed installing a custom kernel? I am afraid of having a locked bootloader or so, and bricking my new toy due to that.
Thank you in advance!

Use CF Autoroot to root the device. Then install which ever recovery you want.

Hey guys,
I just bought a 2nd hand phone online and the previous owner is not a tech savvy one, he updated the phone's software to 4.4.4 but did not root/unlock bootloader. I currently just managed to unlocked the bootloader, and now im stuck with a phone running 4.4.4 with no root nor recovery. Before you guys advise me to search the forums, i did and the rooting methods are either fixed, requires a bootloader to flash kernels/superuser, or vice versa (requires root to flash recovery)
I have been looking all around the forums to no avail, any help would be appreciate.
Thanks
Since u have a UB try flashing this recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2599619.
You have to flash offical 4.2 rom and root and install recovery than flash a custom or kernel 4.4
Can you not revert to previous stock version then use towel root. When I bought my phone it had ICS 4.2, used towel root then let phone update manually. Root was kept and I now have 4.4.4..
Before I start I will say iI did check out the search function for more than one hour and felt pretty lost amidst the technical discussion going on. I'm still reading about Android and learning so your help will be greatly appreciated.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747M) soon after its launch in Canada. It came with Jellybean and after a while I updated it to Kitkat using the "check for updates" area in the phones settings.
My question is basically is out possible to root the device after I updated it. Or is it possible to go back to Jellybean and then root it from Jellybean?
I have tried to flash the stock Jellybean ROM onto it and it just doesn't work at all. Odin loads stuff for 5 seconds and it fails.
Other than going back to Jellybean is there any way to Root my phone if it's on Kitkat now? I'm not concerned about warranty etc due to age of the device and it would be gone already anyways.
Thank You!

Once you are on KK, you cannot downgrade the bootloader so don't bother trying to downgrade to JB using firmware from sammobile.com. Do this may brick your phone.
Does your phone have a custom recovery? If not, you could try flashing Philz for the d2lte and install supersu from recovery.

No it does not. Thanks I'll try that. How do you install super so froom recovery and would i get root access?
Thanks so much!!!
In order to flash supersu, you will need to install a custom recovery onto your phone. Doing this will automatically void your warranty.
Hi guys,
I just picked up my G3 D85110m from T-Mo. I have a notification for a System Update ( I presume Lollipop) which I have not done.
I see that I can root using PurpleDrake-Lite and stay on KK or go to an L Rom.
I can also it seems update and then get root using this new method for rooting Lollipop.
Is there an advantage or disadvantage to either route?
Thanks for any feed back you can give.

Since it's on 10m, it's a safe bet that the update is to 10r which is not the Lollipop update we are all impatiently waiting on. You can root however you want but it's easier to root 10m and install a custom recovery and then flash the files for 10r in recovery.

Thank you for the reply. I will probably then use PurpleDrake and then Flashify to install TWRP before proceeding to install 10r files or another ROM.
