Hey there,
I was looking through the threads here, and I've managed to find some great ROMs/recoveries/guides on XDA which allowed me to bring back my old unused WFS 2012 to CM11 with CWM recovery (but S-off and no root).
However the internal space isn't much on this phone, and I was looking for a file.zip so I can root my phone and then flash a int2ext script after partitioning my sd-card. The problem I have is that I can not find an appropriate root/superuser.zip which I can flash to my CM11 ROM so to root my WFS and I didn't want to flash any root.zip in this forum since it might not be 'compatible' with cm11 and could brick my phone potentially.
I was thus wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a root.zip suitable for WFS 2012 running CM 11 or any other useful advice! This is much appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
PS: I had thought Cyanogenmod come with root already, but could not find this option on my phone. A root checker app from Play Store however said I had no root access.

Uninstall your old rom manager because it doesnt support g2, download the new one, flash clockwork mod-select g2 as your device- wait for it to download and flash he recovery. Btw i would suggest you click fix permissions first before doing any of that

just like others said, make sure you have the latest rom manager (i believe its v2.5.0.7). are you seeing a "G2" option when you click flash clockwork recovery?
clockwork mod for noob
I finaly decide to root my G2( and S-Off ). So I use CyanogenWiki procedure without section about Flashing the Engineering HBoot with is denger and optional.Next I was uninstall no need stock soft (mp3 amazon finance or listen).Today I try to backup everything with clockwork mod.
1. Is the procedure with ROM Manager safe?
2.Do i need to do something else after geting perma root and s-off to install clockwork mod ? (still don't know what for is Engineering HBoot)
3. After instaling clockwork mod or after rooting I will stop geting official updates ?
4. Do i have to buy a prem version of ROM Manager or free market version will do the job ?
5. How to flash clockwork v3 and is there reason to do that ?

Lots of q's
Ok
1.Clockwork mod is very safe
2.No. If you have Perma-rooted your phone you are good to go
3.After installing it you can receive OTA updates if you are using STOCK rom
but its best to not update via OTA at risk of losing root. I was already had
temp root when we got the OTA in US and I had no problem but be warned
4.The free version is fine. But its always good to buy the paid version for added benefits and to help dev out

Sometimes it takes a couple of times before recovery sticks, so if you get the red triangle just reflash the recovery again untill it sticks.

Eng. Hboot is not required to flash a custom rom, but obviously perm-root is. Im guessing you got that quote "Perm Root with hboot-eng.....is needed to flash a custom ROM (still REQUIRED for the moment)" from the CM7 Nightly thread, but there is a way to flash CWM3 without an ENG. Hboot ( it requires terminal emulator) and also the CM7 nightly rom.
Any idea how to install CM7 from stock less risky way then hboot ? How about flashing CM 6 and upgrading to 7 ?

If the HBOOT required comment was for just CWM3, then there are guides already out there (including one stickied in this forum):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=900460
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902493
Then just use CWM3 to flash CM7 like normal...
Absolutly right. Thx for links. Am a noob.

Hi Com
I am looking forward to install Link2SD on my girlfriends Wildfire S - since she isn't interessted in any changes like custom ROMs or something like - i am looking for a very simple way to just get Link2SD installed, together with a 2 partition SD-Card.
Question:
- Do i really need to root the phone to get Link2SD to work?
- If yes, to root the phone, is it neccessary to unlock bootloaders?
Most important question:
- What would be the most simply way to get Link2SD installed on her Stock ROM?
Thank you very much for all useful hints!

isn't there any experienced htc wildfire user that could give me a direction?

you need a rooted phone+unlocked bootloader or s/off
best way i found to partition is using an app from the market called rom manager, then install link2sd.
Hello everybody,
Recently I bought a new smartphone - LG G3 (D855) 32GB with Lollipop 5.0.
Until now I've always had Apple devices and I was very deep into jailbreaking and stuff like this.
So now I want to understand a little bit more about how this kind of things are done in android. I've already read a lot (tons of stuff in different websites and forums) but unfortunately I wasn't capable of finding the information I need.
I've already rooted my phone but now I want to overclock it because I feel it a bit laggy from time to time and that really annoys me. The thing is that in order to overclock the phone I need a custom kernel (as far as I know). And here comes the problem - to flash a custom kernel I also need a custom recovery (correct me if I'm wrong) and from the things I have read untill now I could not find a reasonable and simple enough solution of doing so.
So the question is as follows: Can I put a custom recovery on my LG G3 running Lollipop in order to flash a custom kernel and how, or if not is there a way of flashing a kernel without recovery or even overclocking without custom kernel at all on Android 5.0 ?
Here are some specifications of the phone if there is a need:
Android version: 5.0
Baseband version: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c1.13-00048-M8974AAAAANPZM-1
Kernel version: 3.4.0
Build number: LRX21R.A1421650137
Software version: V20h-EUR-XX
And yes I know that I can do it by downgrading to KitKat but I don't want to. So I am asking all this things especially for Lollipop.
Sorry if there was already a post like this but as I told you I've read really thousands of stuff already and couldn't find working solution, so I decided to ask since this could be helpful for others as well.
Thanks for all your help and answers in advance.
Best regards and I hope we will solve the problem
First you'll need to root your phone. The easiest method of doing so is w/ avicohh's one-click script...
[Guide] Root LG firmwares (KitKat / Lollipop) - One click script
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
Next is to install a custom recovery, the easiest method of which is via TWRP Manager...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager
And custom kernels are flashed via recovery. Just point TWRP to the download directory on you internal or external SD that contains the file to flash.

I have already rooted my phone, so we can skip this step.
The problem is that I can't install a custom recovery. I actually even tried your method with the TWRP Manager but nothing happened (the app actually installs the recovery but when I reboot into recovery, there is nothing happening, just a black screen), so I had to reinstall my stock recovery again.
Is there some other method to install a custom recovery or am I doing something wrong?
Today I tried to do some more research in order to find something but there is nothing on the Internet.
Please help
So finally I found a way to install a custom recovery. Now when I already have it I have flashed a custom kernel (rin kernel) on my Lg G3 running Lollipop 5.0 in order to overclock.
The problem is that when I try to overclock the phone with some CPU app like "setCpu" it actually shows me that I can set the max value to 2,7 but when I click it nothing happens. The device still sits on the default 2,5.
Please help.
Guys,
I need help regarding root of Stock ROM Lollipop. 5.0.
I unlocked boot loader, flashed twrp recovery but when it comes to flash rooting tools (Android revolution hd rooting tool) it does not flash and does not root the ROM. In recovery it says failed/ unable to mount cache ...
Am I doing something wrong or it the zip file which may not be compatible with stock rom?
Do you guys have any zip file which can root stock rom or the best would be if there is any rom already rooted but not modified. I like to stick to stock rom but want to get rid of bloatware.
I appreciate any advice, help or solution which may you provide to me.
Please do not ask me to search on google or XDA because I already did it and bother many people in the specific forums. As a result that they could not provide me with the solution I was forced to write in Help& Troubleshooting forum.
all the best,

Don't use a tool.
Download the update SuperSU.zip from here and flash it in recovery.
After the flash, find SuperSU in your app drawer and open it. You will be prompted to update binaries. Do that.
That's it. You are rooted.

I second that. The tool used by the OP is probably not updated to work on Lollipop.
Also, OP should make sure to run an updated version of TWRP (2.8.7) as anything but the last few (several?) versions of TWRP will not work on the Lollipop hboot.

I have never rooted a phone before but do have an idea about it.... I need help as to how to flash CyanogenMod on my device. I found the download file but the CyanogenMod installer does not support my device; and what is the difference between sprout4 and sprout8 ?
What is TWRP and ClockworkMod?
I want install CyanogenMod do I need to root first? I don't know anything about flashing recoveries
.... if someone could please help...
First of all root your device... After rooting successfully instal cwm or twrp or philz recovery in your device and then go to recovery mode and flash the cyanogen mod rom files...but be careful to have a search with the terms that is unknown to you because anything that is performed wrongly can be very harmful for your device and it may cause damage and result into hardbrick....

rooted and installed a CM 12.1 nightly ....
Please anyone help me with how I am going to root my androidone phone I have never rooted any one before
Rooting, no problem!!!
If you are totally noob, then yu should download and install android one toolkit from the given link
http://www.mediafire.com/download/l8590x9kj779gan/Android_One_Toolkit_Update_1.2.1.exe
But you should have .NET FRAMEWORK 4.0 or above than that if you don't have it just take it from given link
http://www.freewarefiles.com/downloads_counter.php?programid=55008
After downloading and installing above applications you just open the android one toolkit, then click on ROOT button given on Rooting section.
https://www.google.co.in/imgres?img...wxLCI4ONNM&ei=Hbh7VujBDafgmAXxp7-wBg&tbm=isch
see the above picture
then yur mobile will be rooted and after that yu just flash the custom recovery like twrp, philz or cwm.
After all these procedures your mobile will be ROOTED and you are free to install any custom rom, custom kernel or many tweaks
GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR JOURNEY FROM A NOOB TO A GEEK.
:good::good::good:
If you don't have any comuter or laptop then you should try kingoroot or any one click root applications like kingroot, towel root etc. but personally i don't suggest it for MM cuz it dont work on it...:cyclops:
