Hello everyone,
I've tried for days now to root my Note 4.
I'm pretty much at my wits end and have scoured the internet for answers.
I've tried at least 10 different guides if not more.
The issue is that I can never get the initial temp root to work.
Kingroot and Oneclick root have tried multiple(like dozens) of times and they each eventually tell me that there is no solution or whatever for my device but that i can request it.
I've tried running the root apps on the device and from the pc.
Yes I used the eMMC checker and my code starts with 15
I've tried with the sd card in and out.
I was able to roll back to 5.1.1 which is where i have been trying.
Is there another version that is more easily rootable?
Have all the root exploits been patched or something?
Thank you for any help/insight in advance.
this tutorial did it for me
Hello everyone.
this is my first post here and i would like to share my experience with rooting..
i don't have privileges to include outside links yet so you are going to have to search...
user Bobby8451 has a youtube tutorial. (search the forum or youtube)
i tried probably a dozen times with other tutorials but they didn't do it for me. i ended up bricking the phone and having to use verizon's recovery to get to stock and start all over again.
above tutorial has all the files needed in one package and step by step instructions that are VERY detailed.
there is a part 2
once you are done with part 2, you should search for the latest modem and twrp and you should be set.

My Evo is doing fine, but I was trying to help a friend root his yesterday and the Unrevoked 1-click apk didn't appear to be doing the trick. The only difference I can think of between our two phones is that I haven't downloaded the update that came this week. Has Sprint defeated this root method in the most recent patch?
Yes...they are up to UnrEVOked 3.

Right, this method requires you to use a PC though, right? I'm wondering if its still possible to root it using the unrevoked on-phone application, or has this been defeated? And if so, was the defeat in the most recent patch?
bump. I'm afraid the answer given is still a bit unclear to me. Can someone please clarify?
Make sure you are going to 'unrevoked.com/m' if you want to use it on your phone and avoid having to use the pc method. I forgot the /m when I first tried it and got pretty confused as well.

Yes, this is exactly what I did. The apk downloaded and installed, but didn't appear to gain root when I ran it. I ran it several times, but every time I attempted to run wifi tether, it would say that I wasn't root.
You can try downloading the Simple Root app from the development forum, Its only 4 clicks and its a legitimate full root. It does require the PC, but you seem to know how to use one of those as you got to this website.
Don't take shortcuts because your not sure what you're doing, learn

Thank you for the reply. I'll probably end up Simple Root for myself, but this is for a somewhat elderly friend of mine. He only needs root for wifi tether, since he can't get broadband where he lives (3g is okay). I figured the apk root method would be suitable for him since he would know how to uninstall it if he needed to claim is warranty or something. I won't be around to support his phone for him.
Anyway, thanks again. I'm still learning myself and appreciate the advice.
Ahh ok, he can always hit the wipe button and it will go back to a state good enough for the average sprint rep.
I Installed unrevoked 3by usb because i got last version 147.651.1. Its anyway to unroot and get back to stock rom. I tried different ways and nothing for example i wiped data, hard reset . etc.
Right now i dont have wifi is unable and that why i would like get back to stock. Also i use the method with htc sync and the ruu 132.651.1 andgive me error 171 then reintall the ruu give me error 140 and boot to the main screen/
Please any solution to get back to stock .
thanks in advanced,
Hi,
I made the mistake of upgarading to 1.83 =(
now i cant even temproot with visionary+
anyone help me out?
also, i have lots of apps installed, some which are games i have hours of progress in. is there any way i can get my root back ? other than downgrade?
and if downgrade is the only option, can i do it without even temproot? and how can i restore my apps alongwith their data ?
its a lot of questions, but i thought this is the best place for it =)
You are one of the first ones with 1.83 who want to downgrade, could you try my downgrade guide? You can find a link to it in the sticky roll up thread. It should work.
well i wouldnt want to downgrade, only thing is i cant root it. previously i was rooted with visionary (upto about 5 days ago when i made the stupid mistake). Is their an alternate method to root which works on 1.83 that i am not aware of ? (as you said i am the first one with 1.83 asking for it)
I already have your downgrade guide almost memorized, all the tools are downloaded etc. but i would appreciate if you could help me answer the remaining questions regarding apps and app data (game progress mainly)
there is mybackup pro, but it only takes apk+data if you are rooted. any ideas even just to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated. done a lot of research but still stumped =(

No, there is no way to root any of the latest firmwares, as things stand there is, as far as i know, no one working on root exploits on the latest firmwares because there is a straight forward method to downgrade. As regarding backup solutions i can't help you I'm afraid as I have root.
I know only my backup pro for backuping non-rooted phones. And that is right, there is no method to properly root new builds, you need to downgrade first.
Hello all. Noob to Samsungs altoogether, been with HTC for years. Anyway, I am wanting to root my GN2, however I have MA7. I have searched, and searched, AND searched for rooting methods for this modem. I haven't found any concise instructions on how to root. I have seen various threads with suggestions on backward flashing and such, but like I said, they were various. Can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction or tell me EXACLTY what I need to do in order to root my GN2? Thanks in advance!

If you've flashed to MA7 OTA, then use can use this -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956
And pick the LJC option. Works like a champ. (Option 42 I believe)
You might want to check his website, as I believe he is up to 3.2.0 now.
<M>
Thanks mw6886!
I guess I forgot to mention that I tried using that toolkit as well as option 42. Whenever I do, the toolkit menu gets stuck on "copied 1 file.....OK" and doesn't do anything else. Once I got as far as it actually putting my phone in DOWNLOAD mode and says wait for ODIN, but ODIN NEVER came up. Any other suggestions? I will check his website for updated version.
The CF (chainfire) root method works as well.

Thanks to y'all. I used the mskip toolkit. Apparently something is wrong with my laptop that wouldn't allow it to be done properly. Had to run the toolkit 4 times just to get the phone to root! But I am not rooted on MA7!
Hello,
I have an LG G3 AS990 (Ntelos). I would like to root and flash a different ROM, but am having trouble finding my variant as Ntelos is a smaller carrier. Does anyone have any advice on compatibility between any other variants? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
I've continued to search, but haven't found anything. Just hoping someone may have some information.

I've been researching this as well. You could try finding the beta version of CM for Sprint's LS990. I would try it just for the fun of it, but I'm nervous that I don't have the stock rom for AS990 to revert back to. I have my system backed up, but I'm not comfortable enough to rely on that to save my phone if I brick it trying to install CM.
Bump. I have the same problem here, except that mine got pushed an OTA patch that prevents stump and others. So far no firmware I have found is compatible with this device to even downgrade in order to root in the first place. If anyone has succeeded with as990 NTelos please help.
Bumping the necro in hopes of support. XD my software says as99020a but the writing on the back under the cover says us990... So I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do especially since I can't even find a place to download the firmware for manual updates.. Etc. :-[ Damn ntelos
AS990 Recovery?
Has anyone found a recovery that works with the AS990?
I have an option
I've posted a way to use TWRP and ROMs for the LS990 on the LG G3 subreddit, I need 10 helpful posts before I can post it here because I have a few xda posts and downloads linked.
AS990 experience
Hi all,
I have tried different roms on my as990 (Carolina West Wireless) by using the method on reddit (HERE) and everything works just a few things to keep in mind
To get your sim to work on a custom rom you may need to change the build.prop ro.build.target_operator=, and ro.afwdata.LGfeatureset=
Take note of these settings before you try to reflash the phone. If you change one, change both if applicable.
Remember to backup your old build.prop
Backup all apns before you start using method found (HERE)
Backup build.prop
Oh and did I mention backup build.prop
The restore files can be found (HERE) and use the guide found (HERE) replacing the files mentioned with the ones in the post. If you use this method to restore you phone, the build.prop from the reddit post will not work so use the old build.prop that I'm sure by now you have backed up or you will have to get the custom .dll file elsewhere to restore.
For all who have taken the ota update, the restore method works for that too
Your carrier files are automatically restored if you use the firmware in the above post. That is to say they were for me but if anyone else test this
no guarantees but it did work flawlessly for me.
Also I am currently working on a recovery for AS990 if anyone has any ideas feel free to chime in
A couple of side notes
The method by tybskinner may also work if you flash to US990 as well, but I have not tried this yet. To do so you would need the custom .dll or the build.prop for US990
Users have reported that SIM unlock is possible by changing the the build.prop ro.build.target_operator= to global or open however I have not tried this yet
If anyone has a method to change the PRL on the device please let me know I have tried several options but no method I have tried will allow the PRL to stick
P.S. not trying to steal your thunder tybskinner just making it easier for people to find the links
Thanks for the info guys. At this point I'm having issues just trying to root the thing. Lost root with Lollipop, and for some reason I cant seem to regain it. Oh well. The price you often pay for having a smaller carrier (I actually work for nTelos, so its my work provided device).
Thanks again. I hope you guys are able to get yours setup the way you like. :good:

Currently there is no root method for the AS990 device on the newest ROM however if you follow the guide posted you can downgrade to the previous version and go from there.
Have a look here...I found a way around the whole super secure as990 crap

I've been trying to root a Note II SCH-i650 on KOT49H.I605VRUFND7. I have not been successful and was hoping someone could help. I've been around the forums and and tried several different ROMs (HERE, HERE are a couple). I guess I should ask can KOT49H.I605VRUFND7 be rooted and Im just not doing it right? Many times the threads have links to links and are often now just a 404. I don't care what root process I go with as long as it's Android 4+. Could someone help me find a thread or process that should work? So far all I have been able to get to work is returning back to a OEM flash.

I have tried Kingroot. The process will start and get about 90% done before it just freezes (let it sit over night once) and soft bricks the device. I can then recover with the OEM rom. Rooting on my Tab 4 and original Droid went smooth.
