Hello, I'm not sure where to post this but I really need your guys' help. I have an LG LS980 (spr) and the screen doesn't work. The touch screen does however. I've managed to install Mobizen and can mirror my screen to my phone. I also have [email protected] working as well. I have USB Debugging enabled.
Software info:
Version: 5.0.2
Kernal: 3.4.0
Build: LRX22G
Version: LS980ZVH
It is not rooted. It is completely stock. Right before my screen broke it was rooted on 4.4, I TOT'd back to ZV7 (I think, whatever the first release was lol) then updated it, foolishly.
Anyway, I do not remember if I can TOT without my screen working.
And even if I can, I'll need to re-enable USB debugging without a functional screen.
-----
Would like to root it on anything 4.4 or higher.
----
How should I go about doing this. Please help as I would like to use my G2 rooted again.

I desperately need help because i know that you all are my life saver. As it goes I'm having an unrooted chinese hand phone and there are no ways to root my phone other then to flash it. The dilemma is that i need to do a full backup before flashing but in order to do full backup i need to root it first but then i need to root it first before i can do a full backup. This is a dilemma sort like whether chicken or egg first. The problems is really annoying. BTW the phone download mode is not accessible through any combination of the phone button. Details are as follows:
Screen Size: 4.3 inch.
Model number: I9100
CPU: MTK6573
Android version: 4.0.9
Baseband version: I9100XXK13
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100
Build number: GT_I9100_01
Custom build version: 1341280728
ADB Devices: 0123456789ABCDEF
Are there any application that could do a FULL backup without rooting it first?
Does anyone knows where to download the said phone image file so that i could flash it without doing the full backup?
The last thing i could do is burying my phone in the soil and watered it everyday and hoping it to root out.
Thanks for your time in helping me out.
Hi guys,
Got my hands of a dev handset with a 'user debug' software version.
As a result, the usual tools won't unlock my bootloader.
I've successfully rooted and even installed CWMR, but need to open up the bootloader so i can start flashing this badboy.
I attempted to use the FreeGee app (paid ver), and when it couldn't find my software version I took the chance to upload the image, but in the meantime, if thecubed doesn't get around to it,anyone got any hot advice on how I can unlcock?
Software details as follows:
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: Unknown
Kernel Version: 3.4.0
Build Number: geehrc_open_eu-userdebug 4.1.2 JZO54K E97508a. 1353925334 test-keys
Software Version: E97508a
Talk to shelnutt and upload the boot image on freegee thread. I'm sure he will help you

I'm updated freegee for you but would you mind sending me your /sdcard/freegee folder after unlocking? Just zip it up and link me. I'm curious to see if your lk is different or not.
Or better yet jsut to be safe dump the bootloader first before unlocking. Run this in an adb shell or terminal emulator
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/sdcard/aboot-debug.img
the question is short, sweet, and to the point. How do I get (or keep intact) root access on the newest version of CyanogenMod?
ANNOYING- (I lose root access every time I install CyanogenMod, and I have to boot into CMW and restore back to stock ROM every time to get root back)
I did some research on this issue, and most sources say "CyanogenMod has officially decided not to include root rights in their newer ROMs".
EEEK! :/ HALP PL0X!!1!111!!!!
Root access is turn off by default but you can still turn it on.
Look in Developer Options menu.
In developer options, enable Root for ADB & Apps.

Restore Root status to Captivate phone w/CyanogenMod 11 M12
Moderators, If this is not the right place to post, kindly move to proper location.
I have a AT&T Captivate phone (SGH-I897 Samsung) that I rooted and changed to a Cyanogenmod 11 M12.
Before changing to KitKat
Code:
Capivate
Model: Samsung SGH-I897
Firmware: 2.3.5
Baseband: I897UCKK4
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I897UCKK4-CL614489
Build#: GINGERBREAD.UCKK4
I changed the OS from GingerBread to KitKat with Odin3 V1.85 and this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266
Instead of (speedmod kernel) I used Corn kernal 7.0A Odin flashable version .
My phone now reads:
Code:
Capivate
Model: Samsung SGH-I897
Firmware: 4.4.4
Baseband: I9000UGK3
Kernel: 3.0.101-gd54123e [email protected] #1 Tue Nov 11 21:49:07 PST 2014
Build#: cm_captivatemtd-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84Q a842ce8199 test-keys
Most of the apps need to be reinstalled (not an issue). I will need to restore phone contacts, txt msging logs. (If I can not, it will just be inconvenient. (I did {I think correctly} a backup of the data. Will see if info can be restored.)
My main question: My phone is no longer Rooted. Is there a procedure to restore the Rooted state? How can this be accomplished? (Detailed directions preferred if available.)
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
EDIT -- Problem solved regarding ROOT Access
Congrats! Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware based custom ROM CM11 M4 is now installed and running on your AT&T Galaxy Captivate SGH-I897. [Note: Root may turned off by default in CM ROM, To enable it, enable developer settings first (tap the build number 8 times under about device), then enable root under Developer Settings]

You are, in fact, in the wrong forum.... this is for the S4, not the Captivate. Any way, check either security settings or developer options for an entry called root access. It should be something to do with that.

Thanks. I'll look for the Captivate forum and post my question there.
You may have to update superusr.
I have an unlocked AT&T Note II that I purchased from Swappa, so I did not do any of the modifications myself. I've been happy with the phone, it's stable, battery life is good and about the only thing that doesn't work is video out. Which is why I want to update the phone. I haven't played with Android in years and this is my main phone, so I need to proceed carefully.
I'm on Straight Talk, so I also need to make sure I keep my phone unlocked as well as rooted.
What would be the safest path to a newer ROM or rooted-stock firmware that has video out working, as well as the main phone functions, like AT&T LTE, stock camera, etc. ? Also, the Device status says "Modified", so I don't know how that affects any potential updates.
Current:
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: I317UCAMH3
Kernel version: 3.0.31-1071214
Build number: CleanROM 5.0.0
ClockworkMod recovery installed, version 6, I think.
Edited: I finally got some useful hits by searching for MHL/HDMI/tv out but still digesting them...
You could install and run triangle away. After that, you could flash back to stock using Odin and stock AT&T firmware from Sammobile.com.

Your rooted or have a file changed and it knows it when it tried to install. This is why it does that. Hold on notification and open app settings. Disable notification. Or tot to zve and take update.
There is one ROM for zvg, but due to firmware changes. It is best to get to lollipop before going to the ROM.
You will brick you device if you don't. (For now)
