[rom] basic stock rom

Here's a basic stock rom in case you need it sometime
the only modifications made are the su and flash_image binaries are included and ro.secure has been turned to 0 so you can adb remount.
How to flash download the rom from here
Place rom on sdcard
wipe data and all else
then flash rom
reboot and do what you need to do

Cool, you never know when you might need this.

Thank you! Appreciated.

How is this comparable to the rom listed here?
bit ly backslash fBEJnU
I want to have a known working recovery before I make any more changes to my phone. I am not exactly a newbie to this stuff (I have a Pandigital Novel that has been rooted and hacked into a nice tablet) but this is taking things to a whole new level for me and I need my phone. So I'm a bit nervous.
Of course I really wish I'd asked around some before I got to work on removing some of the stuff on it already (mostly known junkware from Virgin Mobile and stupid stuff like weblinks pretending to be native apps) after rooting it with superoneclick and installing root explorer. I need to know if your rom or the one I linked to will be able to allow me to roll back to a default installation that I can revert to if there are any issues down the road. Can you help me?
I apologize if this isn't the right place for this question. Thank you for the many mods I have seen you do already. I look forward to trying them once I have a fallback plan.

I'm not actually sure what your talking about but I've posted this on three different sites so far. I do that for the guys that don't go to other forums. There probably isn't any difference in the roms.

Yours is not exactly stock since you added su and flash_image binaries--or does that really not matter?

I'm not sure exactly how his is different since I didn't build it. I'm gonna guess and say his probably doesn't have the binaries in it, I'm not sure exactly how his is different since I didn't build it. I'm gonna guess and say that his doesn't have the binaries in it. I don't know. Honestly the only way to know for sure that it's stock rom is to get someone that hasn't rooted yet flash the recovery and get a backup of system. I've been waiting for someone like that to come along but ... It hasn't happened yet.
I won't tell you which forums to watch but I'm partial to xda cuz I been on here since my first android phone and it doesn't have those flash ads that pop up cover your entire screen until you click the x.

Well upon further re-reading the other thread I saw this posted:

The only modifications this has are the two binaries that you put into /system/bin when you root. You can remove them by using Superoneclick Root and selecting "unroot."

My only excuse is that it was late when I found the thread and I wasn't reading clearly. Going by that statement his rom and your rom basically seem to be the same things.

Forgive my ignorance, but isn't rooting actually a requirement of obtaining the backup? Or did I misread the instructions somewhere? It'd be nice if someone at Virgin Mobile were to leak the complete rom somewhere so people had a fall back option besides trying to return the phone as bricked. (If that's even possible?)

Sounds like a good reason to pick a forum. Not sure if I'm a member of any places that do that since I run with adblock and noscript enabled most of the time.
Any chance you could link me to written instructions on how to flash the rom you have here? I know you have video tutorials but those are harder to follow for me because I am hard of hearing. Music I can do because it is "beautiful noise" and I can usually find some lyrics to get the words of. Your video HOWTOs are not good for me because I have to strain to hear what is being said.
Thanks again for your time and patience in replying to me.

Thanks. Dude above me, there is a rom flashing tutorial at prepaidandroids.net. We will help you out there. Its a site that specializes in on the Optimus v itself.
(Optimus V - Contracts Suck)

Thanks for posting this. It just came in handy when I was changing my virgin phone number. Part of the process is dialing ##841446# to bring up the activation menu, but the ## prefix on CM7 does not work, apparently only a stock ROM can do that.

Any way to put it on a phone friendly site? No matter what browser I use on my phone it will not download from google docs.

THANKS, this worked perfectly.
It's pretty much as described, a stock Opt V rom, with Super User already set up and installed.
Titanium worked on it no problem as well.

thanks a ton man! i needed to flash back to stock to get my 3G working again. if you flash a custom rom while youre between payments, you know, during down time, you may need to flash back to stock and run the activation app next time you put service on your phone.
worked like a charm. i thought my 3G was broken. im doing a happy dance now!

Anyway I can get a link to the stock rom with all the bloatware removed but not rooted?

why are you suggesting using a toolkit to a user that doesn't know what's happening manually, let alone what a toolkit does.
It will be that much harder to track down any issues that may arise.

LOL, I think that's the whole point of the ToolKit.. So the user doesn't have to go through the manual stuff. Kind of hard to mess up on the V7 toolkit. The Dev made it pretty much dummy proof. As long as the drivers(Android 1.0) are installed on your computer you're pretty much good 2 go

Yeah I'm aware of that thread but 90% of that entire thread are just back and forth post of their experience with other toolkits with other phones and how people should learn how to do it manually and yada yada LOL..

It's very simple and very hard to mess up.. All you do is press 1,2,3 ect.

It's not about other toolkits, and it's certainly not about other phones -- it's a GNex thread...
It's fine to use a toolkit when you understand how it's doing things, but if you don't, AND something screws up, you'll be right back here with a new thread saying something like: "I used a toolkit to do abc and now it won't xyz", and asking for help. (Did you click on any of the example links in that thread?) Thing is, it is much more difficult to troubleshoot when a toolkit is used, compared to typing in the commands yourself.

At the end of last year, knowing that I will get a Nexus One and encourage by a relative, I decided to mod my G1.
It was a painful experience, for the XDA devs and Forum members, because I was totaly new and inexperienced.
I would like to pay tribute mostly to Frankdrey for his constant and kind help.
I was embarrassed and ashamed by my misunderstanding and mistakes. He never gave up on me.
I am for ever grateful to him. Should I say I hate him for giving me the virus of toying my phones.
He was not alone in his help. Demkator brought his much needed contribution too.
I am very thankful to him. And, of course, I took advantage of the outstanding job done by Ezterry.
Without them I would not have succeeded in rooting my G1.
Without them I would have not learn how to unlock, root, select the right radio, a Rom, a Kernel. Without the knowledge I acquired from them I would not have tried to mod my Nexus One after getting my GSM GalaxyNexus.
Maybe I would have had two bricks.
If at the time I had found a Toolkit chances are that, during my strugle to understand and implement the different steps to use Adb and Fastboot and to install a Rom, I would have embrace it.
That is why I fully agree with you, Efrant: we learn and the more we learn the more we increase our capabilities.
As far as my Galaxy Nexus is concerned I am waiting for the OTA to use and play with it.
Then I will unlock it (thanks, Efrant for the tutorial) and put a Rom and apps.
Needless to say I hope that we will be able to install a "unified search" as it is now with ICS 4.04.

Root Question

I’m still learning about my Galaxy Nexus, and I have been trolling XDA for a few days. Is there a way to root the device without flashing a custom ROM. My device already has JB, so I was looking to root for recovery, and SU. I just want to use some of my root apps, like Titanium Backup and SnakeS Battery Booster.
Thanks for the work you all do.

SnakeS battery booster is actually a rip off of DX battery booster from the play store which is the proper official version.

it is better to learn how to do it as you will be better able to fix the phone yourself if something happens
if the toolkit broke your phone, you wouldve created a thread and with something similar to this title: '[HELP] MY PHONE IS BRICKED'
with the body of the thread something like this: "i used such and such toolkit now my phone wont even boot! please help!"

So what I have been reading...no matter which method I use, when I unlock the bootloader, it will reset the phone to factory. So I'm wondering the reset would be to ICS or JB?

The android version you're currently running. It just wipes the data partition (including /sdcard which in turn is a symlink of /data/media).
Cheers!

To answer your question, yes you can be rooted on stock rom and not use a custom rom.

Why is the sm-n910p with 5.1.1 seem to be root proof?

I am relatively new to rooting and bought a used sprint note 4 with 5.1.1 cog5 update already installed, and have been waiting around for one of the universal root programs like oneclickroot to drop a root for it, but it never happens. I heard the new security in 5.1.1 is making it impossible? Is there any work arounds? I have seen a couple homebrews show up that seem questionable and limited. Anyone who is knowledgeable is welcome, but please no "newb just read" comments. Those are rarely helpful.

Funny, after owning this phone for about a year I decided to root yesterday being 100% stock and on OG5. First flash TWRP using ODIN, then install beastmode via TWRP to begin. TWRP will ask after to install superSU, install it. So far I'm using xposed and wish I had done this sooner! Sorry for the lack of details but I'm on mobile right now.

[GUIDE] Root and more!

Broken
This method does not work due to complications from SELinux and dm-verity. Sorry guys, looks like the Note 4 can't be rooted at this time :/
Feeling generous? PM me an Amazon gift card!
DISCLAIMER:
Code:
Your warranty is now void. I nor XDA is responsible for the effects this may have on your device or your life, whether that be bricking, loss of data, combustion, nuclear war, or the election of businessmen as President (wait what).
Remember, its not root that puts your device in danger, its how you use it.
If you don't know what a locked bootloader is, or think that Chainfire is a new video game, you shouldn't be here, go read a little about Android and the Galaxy Note 4 before continuing
So let's begin:
What You'll Need:
This *experimental* firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767141025
Kingroot, SuperSume, and FlashFire, all available from this zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298935732
This modified "from-noship" pre-rooted OC6: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862707318
What To Do:
Step 1: Goin' Wayy Down
Use ODIN to flash the experimental firmware.
MASTER CAUTION: This will wipe ALL data on the device!! Backup your stuff before proceeding. I nor XDA is responsible for loss of your memes!
Simply flash the .TAR.MD5 file in the zip using the AP slot in ODIN, and then wait for the phone to boot (which is literally all of 10 seconds).
Step 2: Our Old Friend
After the OS is installed, go to the file manager and install Flashfire, Kingroot, and SuperSume
Open Kingroot and use it to root, the in-app instructions will guide you through.
After you've gotten root with KingRoot, open SuperSume, grant it root, and press the big blue button, let it do its thing.
When its done, SuperSU will open and ask you to update the binaries, hit continue, then hit "normal". When its done hit "OK", don't reboot (you don't need to).
At this point you've got root! Now, let's get back to the present!
Step 3: Back to the Future!
Open FlashFire, grant it root access, and flash the modified OC6 with these settings:
Mount /system read/write
A wipe isn't required, but it is recommended (if you do wipe, make sure to put that card B E F O R E the flash zip/ota card!)
Hit "flash", let it flash, reboot, and load.
Disclaimer: I have not personally tested this firmware before release, but it should work. However, I make no guarantees!
Guess what? You're done!
I worked to get your phone rooted, I hope now you guys can get some ROMs going!

OC6 Rollback Files
Something go horribly wrong? Get yourself back on something stable

Does this root work for 6.0.1 PK1? Or do I need to b on 5.1.1 ?
Also I'm tempted to try but it's a definite wait for my because I've had this phone since it came out an I was just at AT&T last night to trade an upgrade. I'm going back next week an upgrading to iPhone 7+ 128gb because there is no Notes devices and I really don't want Galaxy S7 when in a month or 2 the S8 is coming.

The root is universal. No matter what firmware you are on, you still have to flash the experimental firmware with ODIN. That's what's so beautiful about it
Also, please try not to quote the entire OP, it clutters up the thread

Yea I agree with you but don't have $400 to put down on a phone. A buddy of mine has OnePlus3 got it on release. But personally I don't have to money to buy a phone every couple months. I normally wait like every 2 an half years. iPhone 7 isn't my favorite choice but I do miss iMessage and iPhone seems there always a new jailbreak coming out might have to wait 6 months but I've waited over 2 years for a root on this phone.
Thanks for releasing this root! I'll b checking the forums an see how this is going!

No, we can't do that because the locked bootloader won't allow a systemless root, which would be necessary for rooting marshmallow. We can, however, make UNrooted marshmallow ROMs.

Hi !
Thank's For This, I Have Tried This Experimental Rom Before, And It's Worked Fine Without Any Problems (We Can Also Back To The Officiel Firmware With Odin), But I Never Tried To Root.
So, I Need To Know If We Could Install An Other Custom Rom ?

Thank's For This, I Have Tried This Experimental Rom Before, And It's Worked Fine Without Any Problems (We Can Also Back To The Officiel Firmware With Odin), But I Never Tried To Root.
So, I Need To Know If We Could Install An Other Custom Rom ?

We can install custom TouchWiz ROMs, but you would need to install the pre-rooted OC6 in the OP first (if you want to use 5.0). Unfortunately we still can't get AOSP ROMs working because that would need a new Kernel and the locked bootloader doesn't allow it.
Post #2 has been updated with ODIN recovery files.

Nice work!
I seem to be a little lost here, but can we use/make rooted MM ROMs after doing the steps in OP?

No we can't. No rooted MM ROMs, but you can make rooted LP ROMs

I'm gonna have to do a lot of reading about this first. Thanks for your great work!

Feel free to take a look at the Galaxy s5 forums, we're in the same boat
Also I may have made a mistake in the OP. I'd like you guys to hold off on trying it until I fix it. Thanks!
