Not sure what happened with write permissions in LP, but after update I seem to have more troubles with it than before.
For instance, FolderMount can no longer write to ext sd even with root access. Another example, ES File Explorer says it's not possible to enable root explorer feature on my device (again, despite having root access). Those are two main issues I encountered so far, but I'm guessing, I should expect more stuff like this in future.
I thought I had some kind of root problems, but then, most other root apps, even xposed, work just fine.
People said that giving your sd card a label can help, but it did nothing for me.
DAE have problems like this after update?

[Q] Get "Access Denied" when accessing external SD Card via Wireless Storage
Am trying to use LG's Wireless Storage function to copy files to the external SD Card from Windows 7 (IE11). Whereas it works fine with the internal memory (sdcard0), but I have only write access to the external SD card. It seems I can only write to it via the USB cable. Any idea why this may be, and more importantly how to fix it? Also why is it all so slow??
You need root for third party apps to be able to write to the sdcard in lollipop.

Thanks. Haven't received the Lollipop update yet, and prefer to wait for the official update. What is the easiest safest way to root? Happy to do this now my warranty has expired... I assume the official Lollipop update will come through even if I root?
Take a look at the CWM 6.0.5.1 thread for v500. I'm assuming you have a v500. If you want to receive the official update from lg (if there is one), then you have to go back to stock with lg tool.
I was under the impression (not sure where from) that the lollipop update was coming , albeit in a few months.
Frankly I can't be bothered with loading a 3rd party operating system like Cyanogen, I did it on my old HTC desire and it took a certain amount of dedication. Having said that I really should root it so I can do things like run Titanium... Is there an easy way to root it? Guess I'll have to do some searches ...
Stumproot is the program I used for 4.2.2. Use the brute force option.
Hmm - I tried stump root , but it says "Device is rooted" (which it isn't). The Grind button is disabled, and there is no Bruteforce button. I am running 4.4.2, maybe that is the problem...

Have you downloaded SuperSu from the play store? This will manage root access. Also, if you are root, highly advise installing recovery and making a backup first thing. The headache this saves later is well worth the effort.

Thanks verymuch, and I know that having recovery set up is a wise thing to do, but can't be bothered with it just yet. I thought simple rooting was easy to do, but I guess it isn't so Ill revisit the whole thing when I have some more time. In the meantime accessing the external SD card will require plugging it into my PC..

Stumproot says you are rooted? You still need SuperSU from the playstore to manage permissions. Rooting is easy.

The problem is that it is NOT rooted, despite what StumpRoot says. Titanium says it is not rooted, and I'm sure I'd remember if it was rooted... SuperSU won't install. I can download the ap but when I run it, it fails to install itself.
I would downgrade to 4.2.2 with LG Tool first, then root and install recovery.

Have found another tool to root it. It then recommend installing TWRP. My question is, if I do this, will LG's Lollipop update still come down automatically (assuming there is such an update).
You have to go back to stock completely (including the recovery) if you want to apply an official LG lollipop OTA.
I had hard time with finding how to root this phone but I might did this. Can you tell me if I discovered something or just really ****ed up?
I found this site. http://techglen.com/2015/02/14/how-...3-14-4-a-0-157-android-4-4-4-kitkat-firmware/
Downloaded the .ftf files. Flashed the .108 kernel and then just used the root option from flashtool. Flashed .157 back.
Everything is working. Root Checker says that I have root. I was able to hid the softkeys compeletly.
But couldn't find anyone using this method on here so.. Was I blind or just done something wrong?
People don't use your exact method , but in esence thats the way everyone roots on locked bootloader: flash an old stock kernel that is known to have a root exploit, root using that exploit(with flashtool or some other way) and after that flash the latest stock kernel that you will use. It's been this way for a long time for all the xperia devices.
Thanks for the answer. I'm so happy I finally got this phone. Been waiting for months! Earlier had to use ****Phone and even with jb it felt so bad. Maybe I'm an android fanboy. But with iOS I got that claustrophobic feel..
Even though I used the same guide and got root,the latest Root Explorer cannot seem to be able to open panel_id text file located in sys/devices/blahblah folder for example. Nor can it copy it to sdcard1. I get a message that I need root even though I've granted permissions to the app. Titanium seem to work OK. So what's the matter? Any ideas? How do I make sure I have full root access?
Not sent by me!
hey sorry been a bit off lately. download root checker app from Google play store. this should tell you if you're rooted or not. or try to use root browser app
Root Explorer eventually can have root permissions off by default.
Check it's settings.
I reflashed XZDR 2.8.3 and SuperSU 2.48 beta and everything is fine. Maybe try the same.

Howdy,
I love my first Fire phone (OTA to v4.6.3, unlocked version). I put Gapps on it, works great, love the form factor and everything.
Then I bought a second one, which came 3.5.1. I figured why not root it? I have rooted a few so I did not wait. I stayed away Kingroot knowing too well how Chinese apps leave backdoor to Beijing. (i am Chinese American, was gonna buy a Moto, but, maybe,,,)
Now I am at this stage, the phone is downgraded to 3.5 per XDA post. I have put the Airplane mode on all the time fearing OTA. I will try to sideload Towelroot to avoid turning Wifi (OTA you know).
My question is, once I root it, how do I prevent future OTAs? Which steps I have to take to disable automatic upgrade forced down by Amazon?
My second question is, once rooted, is there anyways to upgrade it to 4.6.x and keep root, or use a fully functional ROM? Again I would not use any apps from China to flash ROM.
Appreciate any tips, thanks,
OK, here is an update. The moment I turned on Wifi, the auto upgrade started (i remember it would be 4.6.1 as indicated by the process). I had to race to Towelroot the phone. Because the original phone has no file manager app (my oversight), I had to keep Wifi on and register with Amazon and get ES File Explorer from Amazon Appstore. With ES File Exp, I side loaded Super SU, and two root checker apps. Luncky I was able to confirm root before the phone finished downloading upgrade. (turn off Wifi the moment I got ES File Exp).
Now, I need to stop the auto upgrade. Here is a link I have not tried. :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/general/guide-disabling-auto-updates-fire-phone-t2930319
I read somewhere else on xda that I can delete the Device Service Platform in system/apps, but I could not find it.
I would appreciate some advice hereon how to go forward. Which is best way to stop the pending upgrade and eliminate future auto upgrade. Many thanks,
You understand that 4.6.x can be rooted, right?
No need to stay on 3.5.x to root.
Plenty of info aout this on this forum.
lol Yea dude like hack said, you can root up to the latest version. http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/help/installing-root-safestrap-cm11-t3157339/post61862217#post61862217 here's a thread with a guide go wild =)
If you want a later version, you have to root it with KingRoot. I have heard Wondershare works too. But no experience with that or not sure why you would/wouldn't trust it more than Kingroot. And why just not use Supersume to clean Kingroot up afterwards? Those guys are very active on xda and are very trustworthy.
I Finally Got Temporary Root On The AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (and yes it is SuperSU, bit it does require KingRoot)
I Did It
can you post the software info page with the build for verification of which device it's on?
Like you want the build number?
BTW here is how to do it
https://youtu.be/Xr_2LQimK9I
This is temporary root which means that once you reboot you're going to lose root... Sadly not much new...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
Meh, I know but it's better than nothing
Well if this is true it is new because it's on 5.1.1 and not 4.4.4. Going to give it a shot...
So I've tried twice now to root using Kingroot 4.8.0 on Android 5.1.1 and twice my phone has rebooted at the very end when I was trying to download SuperSUMe from the Playstore (did look like root was successful). Might have better luck if I factory reset my phone, but I'm not that interested in getting root.
I can verify that this indeed does provide a temp root on at&t note 4 v5.1.1
BUT! It causes the system to slow down and lag alot and the keyboard no longer works untill the phone is rebooted and when you reboot the samsung startup screen shows a padlock that says custom. So the guys at kingoroot have manged to find a small crack but it is to unstable to use at this time.
I did test out the root permissions on a few apps
1: es file explorer. (I was able to set rw permissions and move files from the internal to ext sd card and see root folders and files in the system)
2: lucky patcher (it was able to gain root and modify installed packages on the fly)
3: es task manager (i was able to acess the root features but changes did not stick)
My hope is maybe someone can learn from this and make the temp root more stable even if temporary (i kinda doubt it since gaining temp root seems to freak the system out causing glitches and stutters)
I obtain temporary root indeed the only I could achieve is, wipe bloatware and change font lol.... So far so good
Well remember, with Samsung changing the system on Android 5.1.1 now requiring a custom kernel to root one of their devices and knowing that AT&T locked the bootloader, this is the best we can get as of right now. Give the developers of KingRoot time because they have tried to root the note 4 without needing a custom kernel. I know it doesn't seem like a lot but give them time. We have wait this much for root. Why not wait a little bit longer for the root to stabilize?
Btw guys I rooted my note 4 on KingRoot v4.8.1, they haven't released this version on their website yet
And supersume pro probably won't work on this
I use the terminal emulator and a root script

There is a bounty regarding it, if they achieve completely root, 8,000 dollars are waiting for anyone achieving it
4.8.1 does stabalize things a little but i can guarantee just aboit that they are using a hole in the stock keyboard to obtain temp root i am going to experiment with non stock keyboards and see what happens from there. I also noticed that the phone gets hot when rooted
Does this temporary root allow the 910A to act as a wifi hotspot?
I was just about to list my Note 4 on Swappa. I can get by without root most of the time but when I need a hotspot, I really need it so I'm back on my Z2 for the moment.

At the moment NO temp root is not stable enough to reliably run long enough to enable and keep enabled wifi hotspot unless your carrier has opened that option. Lucky for me wifi teathering is included in my plan with at&t
Any way to run Xposed with this?
So is it available for download somewhere? Or will it be soon?

After delete all the bloatware it allow me to use Hotspot without need foxfi but I'm in Verizon so I couldn't tell you if it applies the same in at&t but I'm sure one of the program installed is the one that blocks or prevents Hotspot to work properly
I used Kingroot 4.8.1 (after you install 4.8.0 and open the app it tells you to update it) on my N910A and it got to 25% and failed? Happened a few times
Is there a process to gain root access on the last Sony stock firmware release 14.6.A.1.236 (Android 5.1.1) with a LOCKED bootloader???
There are processes for rooting ZC1 Android 4.4, but was wondering if things had moved on since then.
Thx.

Do this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72547776&postcount=6 or downgrade to KK and use Doomlord rootkit, then flash LP prf.
KingRoot works with the latest stock firmware (.236). Just tried it today on my Z1C without any issues.
Just tried KingRoot, not working.
I would also like to get root, but it seems so much more complicated than for any other product which I cannot really understand. I just want to get rid of some bloatware but downgrading and new roms and all of this is not a road I want to go, nor loosing any existing data.
Would be great if somebody has something to make that all easier.

If you're on stock LP, Kingroot should work. Many have done it. There's not going to be any other way to root without wiping data, but you can restore data after rooting.

Scroll down here for many versions - http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/kingro...-release/kingroot-5-0-1-android-apk-download/
I think latest version has worked for some, but maybe try an older one. One thing about Kingroot is that it will sometimes say root not possible, but then actually root it. Also, trying the same thing more than once will sometimes have different results.
I'd have to check to see what version I used, but I think it was whatever the latest version was.
There are two versions of KingRoot, the APK and a Windows application. If one doesn't work then maybe try the other.
kingoroot works , and using pc version looks easier because all kingo apps are easy to delete
ok so it works for everyone than me, hmm, ok have to live with that.
thanks
idk if theres a difference, but i found apks which were "kingroot" only and others named "newkingroot" Ive always only used the last one and it worked fine. Here's a link to the official release. Might be at least worth another try. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
i resetted my phone and used kingroot and it says it works. also like kingoroot before. I tested with root checker and seems fine.
but as soon as I try to uninstall some build in apps google books. google chrome to save storage on the system it fails.
I do get prompted for root access but using different apps I get the sams result.
is that normal?
fixed all of this, just started with a complete fresh installation
both are working, even if they do not say so after the process has finished.
nevertheless, seems system partition is not writable, even if you are root and have installed dualrecovery - seems the system partition needs to be mounted manually to rw. Havent tested this yet
mount -o remount,rw /system
