hi all,
I am in desperate need of some help. I have a retail verizon note 4 on 5.1.1 BPA1 eMMC starts with 15, all the prereqs to unlock the bootloader. For some reason Kingroot never succeeds. I have factory reset, tried kingroot version 4.9.2 and a bunch of other lower versions. It always resets phone around 52-55%. I have literally been trying kingroot all day. Please help Ive searched but have no idea why I cannot get a temp root to run the scripts I need root! lol

I think there has been some miscommunication. If KingRoot fails try Kingoroot instead.
Looks like you download it from here: www.kingoapp.com

FYI: looks like some people do not trust it. It looks no more sketchy than Kingroot to me but your mileage may vary. PSA
Here is a dedicated thread to supporting it: XDA discussions
Kingroot worked fine for me so I have not tried it.
kingo Root worked for me, now I will finally be able to unlock the boot loader.
thank you for the post on this was driving me crazy
I used the apk instead of the PC version, worked the first time
kingroot failing use kingoroot
Just to confirm no version of kingroot apk or pc would root my note 4 always failed. Tried kingoroot and worked the 1st time. Good luck!
I'd strongly recommend once you get root to install a custom ROM. Any one will work.
Part of installing most ROMs is the requirement to wipe the data partition. Format the data partition as well as wipe it. That should remove any remnants of Kingroot. Make sure anything you have saved to your internal storage... pictures, music, etc... is moved off before you wipe/format.
Format the SD card that you used to unlock the bootloader and if you have stuff on your daily driver SD card that you can replace, format that as well. One never knows what sort of cooties Kingroot leaves on a phone. It's best to disinfect as best as you can.
i'm also unable to gain root with either kingroot or kingoroot (pc & android versions) Anyone else having this issue, if so how did you gain perm root?
Kingoroot loses the root after reboot
The first root is OK. But it won't shut down smoothly, need to take out battery. After the reboot, the root is gone. Bootloarder is not successful. Is there anything wrong on my Note 4, 5.1.1, BPA1 baseband version?
I have rooted with kingoroot the 1st time. I was able to proceed through all the steps and change the CID, But not a DEV phone yet. I need to run the steps again. kingoroot say rooted, but when I check with root checker it says not rooted. kingroot just restarts the phone.
Update, I kept rebooting and root took about 30 try's. I was able to complete and phone is not DEV
The kingOroot webpage isn't loading in chrome at all (at least the link provided above).. maybe we need mirrors in case it was taken down?
EDIT: I managed to load it into edge.. but where do you find older versions in case the current version fails? (Or is that issue just kingroot?)
is it possible to add root to locked bootloader.. if so can you give me link..
does it work on LP and MM?
what can i do with a locked bootloader?? what options do i have?
thanks.
no no possible ..Root without bl unlock only LP

i think i read some cant go back?? how do i know that am elegible to downgrade?
Yes you can downgrade but I dont know what is the last KDZ to flash in order to root. I had 10F and my phone just came wrong a logic board warranty fix with a 10a from january 10 lol

As far as I undestand yes. You need an specific LP version but Im still trying to find out this. The thing is that every root method is now outdated and my phone came from warranty with a newer version. I just dont know how to proceed.

Ok, according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/psa-warning-try-to-downgrade-g4-t3197675 (bottom of first post) you can safely downgrade h811 from 20i to 10n

Things to consider:
Windows 10 may not work. I tried for over a day trying to backup my stock system.img using Windows 10 until some guy from another forum told me Windows 10 was probably having incompatibilities with the drivers.
Rooting. I had to make a VirtualBox virtual machine running the last version of Ubuntu (Took me 10 mins in total -downloading-setting the VM) but I also downloaded the files directly to Windows and copied them to Ubuntu. When I was rooting Ubuntu was missing files that were not compatible to copy & paste from Windows to the Ubuntu VM. So download the root_inject files directly to Ubuntu.

Yup that is the low effort root. That one is good when you have a stock room available, in your case V10N.
I went with the Ubuntu one because the version my carrier installed seems to work pretty good so I just needed root and had to do the 3 step rooting method with Ubuntu.
Enjoy!

well i just have root and xposed installed... .
i was told i idnt have balls to unlock bootloader... if he only knew
well i guess you dont know. as you told me i could not root and use xposed without bootloader unlocked.. guess i prove you wrong. as for grow balls dont even go there.. you dont know and once again i can prove you wrong... this isnt directed at you pakito someone else that siad those things.. he said bootloader can be relock and ive never said it couldnt do it.. all i wanted was warrranty. as even new 6xx are getting bootloops...
Whoever said it was not possible to root and xposed with locked bootloader is clearly living in the past. I had Xposed before I sent my phone to warranty, right now Im just trying to figure out why is not installing on my device.

Hi guys! This bootloader unlock version is only for ARGENTINIAN models.
You can donate me (PAYPAL LINK COMING SOON) and @cerg2010cerg2010 through paypal.

/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this Recovery
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if

No more secure boot error!
I thank my friend @cerg2010cerg2010 for helping me out in patching the aboot.
Supported Model:
Code:
H440AR
-> Steps:
(1) Downgrade to v10a or v10d version of Android.
(2) Root your device.
(3) Download this patched aboot file. Click Here for v10a. Click Here for v10d.
(4) Connect your phone to the computer. In command prompt, type "adb shell".
(5) Transfer the aboot file into /sdcard/ folder.
(6) Type "su" to enter the root shell. Then type "dd if=/sdcard/<file_name_you_downloaded_in_3rd step> of=/dev/block/<your aboot partition>".
(7) Restart your phone by typing "reboot".
You have unlocked your bootloader!
Refer Notes for more information.
-> Notes:
1) The aboot_5120_patched.bin or aboot_10d_patched.bin is the patched version of aboot partition of your device. Secure boot validation has been patched such that secure boot is always valid, so you can flash your own TWRP and Custom ROM.
2) Don't upgrade to any updated version of Android if you get any through OTA update. It might brick your device.
I'll give it a try soon, hopefully if the guys here are correct 4g/lte should work now. Thanks a lot!
Edit: apparently this fixed the issue regarding LTE using argentinian bands, I'll keep testing it but so far it holds even after a call and a low signal area it just switches from lte to 3g and so on (which wasn't working with the other aboot)

Quick question: by unlocking the bootloader I should be able to later flash a custom recovery and then root the phone, right? As the argentinian version seems to be unrootable via kingroot (which is what the general thread recommends). Do I got this right, or is there a simple version to root it? Thanks.

First you need to be on Lollipop.
Root it by using Kingroot.
Unlock the bootloader.
Flash TWRP 3.1.1.0
Flash MM v20b zip proposed by Korelev.
Flash Supersu.
Now you have a rooted MM.

I tried rooting it using Kingroot with no success, both with the APK and the app on PC. Running stock lollipop, obviously. I assumed the argentinian version (H440AR) couldn't be rooted via kingroot, which is why I'm wondering if the only way is to simply unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and then flash SuperSU.

The thing is, you can't unlock the bootloader without first having su permissions.
AR device version shouldn't be a problem.
Mine is Argentinian too and I easily rooted it.
Try with an older version of Kingroot. You can easily find it around apk's sites.
If no luck, try flashing an H440N kdz (I'm on POL v10i) with LG Flash Tool 2014, and see what happens.
You can do a dirty flash if you don't want to lose your data.
P.S.: I even switched from Kingroot to SuperSU. I highly recommend this. Kingroot converts your phone in a turtle.

Hello there. I managed to use kingroot to root one of the two spirits I have (the other one still doesn't budge, for whatever reason) and indeed it turns the phone into a turtle. I was wondering, is it possible to flash superSU without flashing marshamallow before? Not that I'd mind flashing it, but without the ability to use an SD card as internal storage the main advantage is gone, and I wouldn't wanna have MM if it hurts battery time or fluidity of the phone.

If I don't get wrong, you want to stay on a SuperSU rooted LP, right?
Well, you can get that, not by flashing, but by replacing Kingroot with SuperSU.
you'll have to do the following:

Yes, following this procedure can get your bootloader unlocked. Also LOS does have that blue scrren error, only if you don't have network service. However it's not that big of a issue. You can prevent blue screen by using airplane mode.

I knew about that workaround but signal is pretty unstable where I live. Specially when I travel and I like to use spotify while doing so. I'd like to avoid it as much as I can. I guess I'll give it a go and if it fails I can go back flashing a stock firmware.

Depending on the underlying issue, you may still encounter the Play Services issue on Lollipop as you have on Marshmallow.
First, see if you can work the issue out on your current system.
- Delete cache and Data on Play Services.
- reset app preferences and reset default apps in the menu in the Apps folder in Settings.
- delete your Google account and re-install it.
- use LGUP-NEW to reinstall your Marshmallow rom (H81220). Check out this site for some H812 stock roms:
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h812-firmwares/
scroll down to the firmwares list and install the correct stock kdz - carrier and version
You can downgrade to Lollipop (H81210) using LGUP-NEW - frankly I haven't noticed a lot of difference between them but does have the current advantage of being rootable. Some members report better battery life but you will lose some security updates.

thanks for the reply, i actually did all of those things, including a factory reset. i will try to reinstall using lg up, maybe something in the stock image got corrupted? i learned that even if my phone boot loops, it wont be repaired as the serial number is out of range. so i might hold on to it until theres a good custom available

Yes, very possible that something got corrupted. Definitely try a re-install of your stock kdz with LGUP-NEW.

IF, you'd actually read steadfasterX's thread and in particular his latest update (last page on the thread, currently) ... you would realize there had already been a proof of a successful unlock of an H812. I suspect your phone has been screwed up by somebody who didn't know what they were doing in the first place. No one has done more work in this area and had more successes than steadfasterX - good luck for waiting for a better way or getting much trying to sell it - check ebay and see the prices - LOL.

The risk of bricking your phone has been minimized with steadfasterX's process - he has had a couple of successful unlocks of an H812 now and when he publishes it for the public, the risk will be minimized as much as it can be in any unlock case.
With respect to your phone not being recognized by LGUP-NEW. Make sure you have installed the LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0 available for download from the US LG site - the Windows driver will give you problems.

well i wouldnt care doing it if there was more rom support, i dont see a point in unlocking at this point. if im missing a benefit of unlocking right now, enlighten me. and thats the driver i already have installed

One benefit might be fixing your screwed up phone. Still didn't read the OP I guess as you were advised to in steadfasterX's bootloader unlock thread. Here's an idea ... before making summary judgements with little or no knowledge, perhaps you should check with the member that is sited in the "proof" for the H812 and post your questions there for the Roms he has tried. My understanding was that he was on Lineage for Nougat - the most popular downloaded custom rom for .... are you ready ... the H815/H811 - here's an idea ... why don't you check out ALL the roms that are for the H815/H811 in the Android Development section ... hmm ... really?

if you took 10 seconds, you would see i actually posed in that thread. and all they did was direct me to the OP which says nothing about lineageos working for h812, or that the h815/ or h811 roms work for this variant. all it says is that i can flash nougat based roms. so the thread isnt too helpful, im not sure why you think it is.

Hey man, i'm agreeing with you for most of this...
I'm also not going to risk anything until 10 H812 users have successfully unlocked bootloader and flashed a custom rom (one thats intended for h815 or h811) with steadfasterx's method. Maybe you can flash H815 custom roms once the bootloader is unlocked... but just to be safe, let's flash other stock carrier firmwares in the meantime...... in the end no matter what anyone says, its your phone at risk...
Member TheLatios381 and I were asking same question here:https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4...10-q2-2017-t3567402/post75742903#post75742903 because no answer to our question on steadfasterx's thread...
This is my question. I'm currently on ATTMX channel, but, my carrier has being saying in lot of forums AT&T México, that we are not being updated to Android Pie, due to end of cycle. I already found that:
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/albus/official/RETAIL/
Is where you can find the update already in Stock format. My Albus is under OPSS27.76-12-25-15-2-4. But that's my question if not, I'm just leaving already the phone, wasn't all that worth it after all, but if I can update it, would be awesome for a second hand move.
Any kind of help, or comment, would be awesome. Thanks.

In theory, it is possible to update.
My device is RETAR channel. And I updated using this file from the RETAIL channel.
Sorry if my English is not good: D
I also have a xt1706 from att mx, i used the method in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/how-to/download-z2-play-pie-ota-t3977367 but i had to install first the stock rom for retail moddel, exactly the ALBUS_RETAIL_8.0.0_OPSS27.76-12-25-23_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip, after that i copied the ota file from the post above to internal storage, searched on my system apps for motorola update services, give it storage permissions, reboot phone and when it booted the OTA appeared, so i just installed the OTA and rebooted, everything is working fine, a lot better than oreo stock or other pie based roms. the only issue i had was with Netflix, i can't install from play store due the phone showing on search for updates that system integrity is at risk.
What i'm trying to do now to solve that is to install the retail version of pie from this https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/albus/official/RETAIL/ In the past i've installed some retail version from this web and everything worked fine so i hope installing the retail pie stock everything will work fine, speacially with netflix xD maybe i'll root because i need to record calls and none of the record callers are working fine because of the compatibility with pie, the only working method is with root.
I will update this if my attempt to install the retail version of pie and/or rooting is successful

I have the XT1710-06 AMXMX Channel (not the ATTMX) with bootloader unlocked and rooted with Magisk. I upgraded to Pie using the retail version firmware from the page you mention.
1.- First I was on this stock Oreo version for my phone: XT1710-06_ALBUS_AMXMX_8.0.0_OPSS27.76-12-25-15-2-4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
2.- Then I installed the retail Oreo ALBUS_RETAIL_8.0.0_OPSS27.76-12-25-23_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip to check if everything was working fine
3.- And finally I installed Pie with this firmware: ALBUS_RETAIL_9.0_PPS29.133-30_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Maybe I could skiped the step 2, I'm not sure.
I had an issue with my SD Card because system said it was damaged and I had to format it like 2 or 3 times. This happened randomly when I restarted the phone. Now all is working fine.

EDIT: Actually the USB connection issue is caused by a bad guide that lacks some commands. This guide gets everything right without any issues.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/how-to/fastboot-rom-flash-update-stock-rom-t3838213
EDIT2: The audio issue only affects users who have upgraded to Stock Pie. This ROM's modem file causes distortion on audio during calls and must be avoided during the upgrading process. To fix the audio issue simply flash the modem file from Stock Android Oreo.
I'm currently on OPSS27.76-12-25-15-2-4
Can i upgrade directly to PPS29.133-30
Or do i need to flash them one by one (That would be annoying and nonsensical).
Please confirm.
Yes, you can.

I actually fixed the USB connection issue, it was actually caused by a bad installation (one of those flashing adb guides has missing commands needed for proper USB mode to function properly), this is NOT ROM issue as the missing commands will cause the USB connection to fail whether it is Nougat, Oreo or Pie.
Follow this guide. https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/how-to/fastboot-rom-flash-update-stock-rom-t3838213
But keep in mind one thing.
Avoid flashing the modem file NON-HLOS.bin because it is known the modem file from Stock Pie causes audio issues on Custom ROMs. This will be helpful later if you decide to flash Custom ROMs into it.
Ok. One more thing. My phone model is xt1710-06. That ROM is compatible with it right? Please reply soon, as I'm about to flash it.

Do you speak spanish by any chance? I also have that model and that one comes from Spanish Providers for Latin America. I had some issues earlier because of some inaccuracies and other stuff I wasn't aware like the modem thing from Stock Android 9 distorting audio during calls. Now I got everything working properly and flashed Custom ROM AEX (you need Treble TWRP to flash custom ROMs) with working audio without problems.
I tried the internal storage method, but nothing happened. Then i tried the ADB method, which also failed (invalid signature). I'm gonna try to update to OPSS27.76-12-25-23 first, if that works, then I'll attempt to upgrade to PPS29.133-30 again.
In any case, it's very annoying. Let's hope it works though.
Once I'm done with that, I have to waste more time on rooting it, then enabling Camera2 API & Wireless display...

Are you using fastboot or mfastboot? And you are using up to date adb?
Didn't work. Invalid signature again. :/
Screw this. I'm gonna unlock bootloader, then root the phone, then flash Pie ROM through RSDlite. If even that fails, then screw Pie. I'll stay on Oreo.

RSDLite didn't work either. It was not able to detect my device at all, so i couldn't proceed flashing this way.
Then i followed this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n57v9r2jysw
It's basically the same as the ADB method, except he extracts the ZIP file & uses individual commands to flash all items. I tried his method, and it worked wonders. I'm on Pie ROM now, it's all good.

RSD Lite isn't recommended as it can screw up your basebands getting a phone with no signal whatsoever. The standard ADB fastboot is recommended over everything else.

In 1:30 of the video, the following commands are missing:
Code:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Without these commands, the USB and MTP Mode of the phone will never work. This is true for the XT-1710-06, and probably true for all other variants. Besides, it will do a heavier installation, meaning it will install all the OEM stuff that will eat space, resources and you will not probably use anyways.

Yes, it is, in fact, it is the exact same method as the standard ADB fastboot flash, because you need to extract the zip file anyways. But this video is mostly based on @JulioCeesarC's guide, which specifically lacks these three commands which are needed for a proper correct installation.
A better guide for flashing/updating Z2P to Pie 9.0 is this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/how-to/fastboot-rom-flash-update-stock-rom-t3838213
The first statement in this guide is that YOUR BOOTLOADER must be unlocked for this process. This will become useful later if something goes wrong. As a locked bootloader can render the phone completely bricked if something goes wrong during the process. You were so LUCKY because your locked bootloader refused to flash the update. Otherwise you could end with a dead unrecoverable phone.
However, all of these guides in XDA forgets another important REQUIRED step:
If you upgrade to Stock Pie, and you decide to flash a Custom ROM later, you will have audio issues during calls. This is caused by the Stock Pie's faulty modem file (NON-HLOS.bin), the good thing is that the Stock Oreo's modem file works flawlessly and must be skipped during the upgrading/flashing process.
If you wanted a Spanish guide, then all you had to do is just ask for one. There might be more spanish users that don't quite understand english very well and might mess up with this trivial process. I will make a Spanish guide to help them and avoid more conflicts and unwanted bricks. I know all this through proper testing with trial and error.
Hey. I just tried plugging USB, and it is working fine. Even File transfer mode is working fine... I have not noticed any issues so far. So I'm gonna keep it as is without reflashing the ROM with those additional commands. If i encounter an issue later, i will consider your suggestion.
BTW, Now i am running Pie & have an unlocked bootloader. Please tell me the proper way to root the phone. I tried rooting before with TWRP & Magisk, but the phone went to bootloop. I then had to reflash the Pie ROM with ADB method to get it working again. I think the problem has to do with DM-Integrity & Encryption, but I've already wasted hours getting Pie to run on it, and don't want to waste more hours trying to root it. So a quick and easy working guide would be useful.
Also, i don't intend to install any custom ROMs on it. I just have to root it so i can enable Camera2 API (disabled on my variant), and enable wifi display (disabled by default on most AOSP based ROMs, including mine).
BTW, I don't understand spanish. I was looking for guides and found that video. I enabled english subtitles & understood enough to give it a shot. I have some experience with flashing & rooting in the past, so i can understand these concepts and methods.
Well, i followed this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/development/twrp-3-2-0-0-moto-z2-play-albus-t3715660
And was able to root my phone without bootlooping. All is well for now. Now i will enable Wifi Display & Camera2 API. Once those are done. I'll have peace at last.
---------- Post added at 01:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 AM ----------
Just successfully enabled wireless display (persist.debug.wfd.enable=1) & camera2 API (persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1) within build.prop
Both are working as intended. I have succeeded in doing everything i desired to do. It only took a bunch of hours & a headache...
But thanks a lot to "leodexe" for helping me out. You're cool, friend!

Oh, mine is XT1710-06 and it had issues with the USB mode, I figured out it was because of the missing OEM commands, I tested several times flashing without these and the USB connection would never work, after a simple flash with all the commands it started to work again, so if yours worked without these then maybe it's a thing of luck. But keep in mind that without the OEM commands there will be more installed stuff, I prefer to include the OEM commands to remove all the bloatware, so the user can decide which thing to install later.
