I saw the other post about how to root the a3, but the answers weren't accurate, I didn't understand all of it in which me trying to root got me resetting my phone, so can someone tell what exactly to do and install? And where do I find twrp for a3 nougat?
thanks in advance
Hi
I rooted my device when I got it, back in May. But a few days ago updated it to Nougat, so I had to re-root. (Off: not much difference between android 6 and 7, maybe just a few little things). I used odin to update + twrp recovery + root. Sadly the root reverted back my recovery to stock, but I don't care about it too much, the working root was my main goal. I used this https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...root-sm-a320f-fl-y-samsung-galaxy-a3-t3556026 guide to the letter, and it worked. Good luck on your device

Stupid question , but the part where it say's clear data+cache and flash before device initial initialization, was this done in twrp? Or Odin? I can't find twrp for the a3 Nougat. Or is it the same file as MM ? Thanks for your help
I think I used the same, but the wipe was done in stock recovery. As I wrote, rooting reverted it back.
Thanks, worked )
But can't find how to install magisk on an already patched boot image ???
Can't help you there, I don't even know what magisk is XD
Just needed root, I seriously can't stand ads.

Planning on rooting my P600 and after reading Hahahalalala's earlier post, will follow BeansTown106's instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2490805).
It appears I need to flash from p600Autoroot.7z for v4.3 and CF-Auto-Root-lt03wifi-lt03wifixx-smp600.zip for v4.4? Please correct me if I'm wrong?!
On step 4, it says to "...flash the stock mj4 recovery provided". Planning on installing TWRP v2.7.1.0 - can I just do it here? Or do I need to do this step and afterwards install
TWRP (and flash Super SU)? I'm curious about the reason for flashing the stock recover and whether it's version specific...
Currently I'm at v4.3 (touchwiz) and haven't done the latest OTA yet (presumably it's v4.4.2). It'd be best to do the OTA update and then root, right? Reading the earlier post, it
appears this method works for v4.4...
While posting, also is it possible to downgrade back to v4.3 from v4.4? Not that I'm planning on it, but have read both yes and no on doing it and just wondered.
Thanks in advance and do advise if there's anything I should watch out for while doing this!!

1) If you flash twrp then you can't do OTA any more
2) The root instruction would work but will trip the Knox and void warranty.
3) Not possible to downgrade back to 4.3
4) if you not use twrp but reflash stock recovery image then OTA would work but will wipe out root if you take the OTA upgrade what ever that maybe 4.4.3?

I used these full instructions for Kit-Kat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719750
One step in that is the CF-autoroot, but there are other steps as well. I just ignored the "To Flash New Update" part, but maybe you need it. I was already on the latest OTA before I started. Trips knox but I'm sure you knew that.

1) That's why I figured best to do the OTA first - just had other devices that didn't have root methods for the newest update & wanted to thought best to ask first!
2) I'm out of warranty (due to drop and repaired screen) so warranty is of no issue...but thanks for the warning
3) Thought that to be the case, but again hearing it may be possible and also can't. Don't foresee doing it, but was curious...
4) Plan on flashing the latest (CF-Auto-Root-lt03wifi-lt03wifixx-smp600.tar.md5) via odin, reboot, flash twrp v2.6.x as I hear 2.7.x may have a few issues. Only problems I've read are potential with Super SU - not sure if it's part of the root flash, needs to be flashed
separately, or just dl'd from Google Play Store? Guess will just flash root, see if app is there, if not try Play Store. If not, then go back and find the flashable SU dl.
Thanks!

Thanks! Yep, not concerned about warranty at this point... And figure will do the OTA and then root...
Actually latest posts appear to show some issues with SU when using CF-autoroot (maybe due to them being on kitkat?). Appears flashing CF-Auto-Root-lt03wifi-lt03wifixx-smp600.tar.md5 does the trick. Sounding like it's part
of the flash, and can then just flash twrp (figuring be safe with v2.6.x for now).
If not reading this right, anyone feel free to correct me before I "jump", lol!

Yeah you want TWRP 2.6.3.3. It won't work right with 2.7.x. Might as well flash the SuperSU. Most of the root apps worked fine but Viper4Androod did not find Busybox even after using the installer. Need to go back a version of V4A too due to bugs but it still didn't work. Tried freezing Knox apps that might be interfering but eventually just installed that MagazineUX ROM and now it works. Everything else should work easier.

Thanks - that was the post had been reading through - appears after the kitkat OTA, latest posts mentioned problems with SU when running the original CF-AUTO Root method (flashing autorootp600mj4.tar.md5). Wondering if flashing the "newer" CF-Auto-Root-lt03wifi-lt03wifixx-smp600.tar.md5
would be best. At this point feel confident either way!

Yep, will be downloading TWRP v2.6.3.3 and flash it and SuperSU after rooting. After rooting, will be curious to see where I sit with superuser (sorry, reading the latest posts kind of muddy whether a SU app is already installed or not, lol)...
Thanks everyone for all the great input & help!!
Hi all. This is my first LG phone and I looked around but didn't see any reason not to fully upgrade firmware before I root. Any input any drawbacks of upgrading fully? Also, this is a t-mobile used phone and the back of the battery case has a wireless charging stickon in it. Is this standard for this phone? I havent researched the look/brand of it yet as I have just got it. Thanks. Its a nice phone. Can't wait to get tweaking!

The latest build 10R broke all the rooting tools.
Assuming you are still on build "c" or "m"...
Root first w/ PurpleDrake and make sure it installed (TWRP) custom recovery. It should also install SuperSU but I can't remeber, you may have to read a bit.
I would then update to the latest TWRP version which can be done easily with TWRP manager. Make sure you install busy box when prompted by TWRP manager!
Perform a nandroid backup before updating!!!
Then flash the "R" firmware with TWRP flashable zips available here.
Be certain to flash SuperSU before rebooting! If you forget there is no way to get root again after a reboot.
Good luck...

Thank you. I actually found that out the hard way. Flashed back a version and got root. Wifi calling and text not working yet so I found the exact thread you posted and was gonna try. Great tip on flashing supersu though. I'm new to LG but looking forward to getting this phone right. Thanks for the input.

Here is another great source of various upgrade, downgrade and restore to stock flashing methods and tools including TWRP flashable Stock ROMS. Make sure to read ThePagels OP carefully before proceeding.
Also in the OP: "Strengthens and weaknesses for each method click here" is also well worth reading.
[Firmware](Upgrade+Root/Downgrade/Unroot) Files+Flashing Guide [TOT/KDZ/TWRP]
Recently I got a nexus 7 2013 5.1.1 LMY48I which I tried to root with NRT. Long story short like many other people I cant get TWRP to mount the files it needs(I get to the automated step that is suppose to open TWRP and install some files from a ZIP archive and it hangs up). First off I have a USB OTG cable coming within a couple days. I have looked for the past couple hours for a solution and keep coming up empty. Basically I have two questions, 1. what files do I need to have transferred so that I can get my Root permissions installed properly and 2. should I wait for the USB OTG calbe or should I try to use abs push
I'm in the same boat, really would like to get this thing rooted. I have been all over the WugFresh Forum, as well as Android Central and this one too of course. I have not found an answer to this problem yet. If I come across one I will post here, please do the same.
Dude. this is infuriating. Apparently the alst batch that was made, they changed the mmc chip. These all went out on Groupon and stuff on sale.
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQue...e_to_mount_partitions_after_flashing_twrp_on/
The only recovery that I got to work was the TWRP for Multirom because they actually addressed the issue. The bug has been brought up on the TWRP flo github they just have yet to fix it.

You can root 6.0.1 using the beta SU from Chainfire. I am running the new one from Groupon using the multirom TWRP and I flashed SU 2.65 and it worked perfectly.

I did a clean flash of stock 6.0.1. Then flashed the multirom version of TWRP since I have one of the newer chipsets of the Nexus 7. Then I flashed the beta SU. All was good. The issue I am having now is that I can't get the restore from within TWRP to work. I backup fine, but when I restore it gets partway through the system part and then just says Failed. Not really sure what the deal is there. I am guessing it has to do with this multirom version of TWRP, but I'm not really sure...
Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the android scene when it comes to the rom and rooting side of things so I just have a few questions about Sunshine and the whole process in general. Sorry if this may have already been asked but after a quick search many of the answers to these questions seem to be outdated.
1. Do you need to be rooted in order to use Sunshine?
2. If I do, is there any method to root my phone? I can't seem to find any without paying some money.
The only reason why I would want to root my phone is so I can use Titanium root and back up my data.
3. Do I have the order right?
Use Sunshine (gains S-off/unlocks bootloader)Install a custom recovery (TWRP)Super SU (Does this root my phone?)Install Cyanogenmod
4. If I have the order correct, at what point should I backup my data and when would my data get wiped?
5. And if I'm backing up my data should I back it up to my SD card and remove it, or do something else?
Once again, I'm sorry if most of the answers to these questions seem obvious but this is my first time tampering with my phone so I would appreciate any help!
Ok so a little update, I used sunshine, installed twrp, and tried to flash super su but I got stuck on a bootloop. Any help? I tried wiping the cache/dalvik.

The latest supersu zip will give you a bootloop. The previous version works fine. I don't have it anymore but you will need to download a rom and flash it.

This is a common issue, it happened to me too, so I wrote a quick post how to avoid it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-one-m9/help/s-offed-unlocked-bootloader-via-t3444629
I have unlocked my bootloader, I have gone through the process of installing TWRP RC1, I have also installed SU 2.79 as guides have shown to do. I have also installed adaway after rooting, as well as titanium backup.
What is left to do now? I have read that if I stay on stock but rooted, when a security update comes out next month and I take it, my device turns into brickmode. I don't intend to stay on stock, I am taking the time to learn all the ins and outs of each rom that exists currently and trying to make a decision which one I like best, and especially what kind of challenging process exists for flashing the rom as well as putting TWRP back on then SU, and the confusing part about doing the vendor image. So yea, still learning. The last time I rooted and flashed anything was LGG3 days, so it's a learning curve again.
Am I supposed to be using a flash drive for anything? Or is that not needed if following the installation process for whatever rom is out there.
Thanks in advance, everyone has been very helpful so far.
There is no need for a flash drive. You can easily disable OTA on stock, and there is no need for a custom rom. In fact, I am rooted on stock. Also, the OTA should not be able to go through while rooted but I have seen myself that it does work surprisingly. My guess is this is because of the dual partitions, but no, you will not get bricked if you accept an OTA. The worst that would happen is that you would lose root. I'm guessing this is due to the dual slots. The OTA overwrites the other slot and swaps it on reboot. You should be able to just get in again but without root.
And if it does fail you can download the full OTA from google and install it with TWRP or adb install it.
Turn off updates in dev options. A couple of people have gotten hit with big data bills from it downloading over and over.
I'm unlocked but not rooted. I installed Franko kernel but need to be rooted to use his app. I'm trying to figure out root yet stay stock for now.
