[Q] Tutorial/Flashing Guide?

Can anyone provide a fully nooby-proofed tutorial for the entire flashing process for this awesome tablet?
I got mine some days ago, i found some infos about the rooting in google, but about the flashing I found almost nothing, except the required files for download.
I know now that there are a few ways to flash a rom, with odin, to put the device into recovery mode and with ??twrp??
Please guys could you make that ? I am sure there are also other people with the same questions here.
Thanks a lot in advance

Device variant/ROM question

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

It may seem like a bit much but it works like a champ!

Can't find my specific KDZ file? Vodafone (VDF) UK

Hi,
I am pretty much a complete novice with this rooting and unrooting business but I decided to do a spot of research to try and gain a certain level of understanding before jumping on XDA.
I have recently brought a LG G4 and updated it to 6.0 Marshmallow through the LG Bridge and seems to be working fine.
However after doing some digging around I would like to unroot the phone install Xposed to have the capability to install some decent modules.
From what I understand though if anything goes wrong you would require the correct KDZ file to revert the phone back to stock, this is wherein my problem lies as I cant find the correct file.
I have looked at some of the links provided within certain KDZ tutorials on xda but without any success. I believe I can use another file in times of need but I would like the correct carrier KDZ encase of a warranty claim.
Does anyone have an idea or maybe can suggest other sites?
The strange thing is though after watching a video tutorial on how to unroot the guy goes to ([devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/) and searches for his required file but when on the website I can clearly see the file I need is there but I don't seem to be able to find it when I search. I will say though that the video is old (last summer) but does anyone know if the files are deleted and added regularly on there?
Phone - LG-H815
KDZ Required - VDF (UK)
Any help would be much appreciated

Sm-s260dl galaxy j2 core? I think help

Ok so I just got out of prison and use to have a rooted phone actually I've rooted all my phones I cant find a single walk through for this phone matter of fact I cant find anything on it and I want to root it because I wanna get rid of ads and custom recovery possibly a rom that's more customizable its through straight talk can anyone help me please once again it's a sm-s260dl

Just bumping this to see if any response. I also have Sm-s260dl, and it's locked up tight. "oem unlock" option is hidden in settings, and I've tried tricks posted online to reveal it, but don't work. I also went to authorized Samsung service, and they couldn't do anything. They are bound by Samsung agreement that they can't flash any fw on a device except for the original stock fw (to repair only), and there is only one file officially available for Sm-s260dl, which is the same fw it has, which is Tracfone branded, (which is probably the reason it's so inaccessible).
I have network unlocked, using Samkey, and have access to freeze system apps and write secure settings, using adb and Island/appops/setedit apps, but would really like to be able to unlock the bl. I know it's made unlockable by Samsung, but how's can I get to it?
Any way to use activity manager or other adb to toggle the switch through terminal, or...?
Thanks

Hello,
I'm looking for stock firmware for this device. I'm having difficulties flashing the firmware I have found for it. I need the BIT 5 version to flash in Odin.
Thanks.

Souds as if all our s260dl need the same bit, as ive also been searching for it. It is listed as downloadable with Z3x box server, torrent file, so i dont know if there is an atual file attached to it, i dont know. I have been able to get a couple torrents to work, but not this one.I I have chimera, and it has 0 files for this model.
Interesting enough, when looking into this device, I found a post, that shows an image of the s260dl and on the screen the firmware installed is J260Axxxxx.
If i remember correctly, it was a leak before the official release /announcement for the device.
Im thinking itll be accessable soon., or I'll end up getting the z3x box soon anyway. Ill update here if found etc.

Bootloaders locked tight, no root for this device unless exploit found.

Can easily be network unlocked for use on other carriers tho.

please help with this phone

TWRP for Galaxy A50 Canadian Model

Hello,
I am looking to root my A50, model SM-A505W, and I need the correct TWRP file in order to do so. I am having a hard time finding the correct file. I am unable to find the file on twrp.me, which is where I normally go to find these files. I have read a few other threads on here that provide a TWRP file, but I am unsure if they work with the Canadian model or are safe to use. I should preface by saying I am relatively new to rooting. I have rooted a Galaxy S5 and S6, and had a few issues but managed to solve them. My main concern is getting stuck in a bootloop by flashing the wrong software to the device. At that point I would rather have done my due diligence first rather than flashing a file that I am unsure of! Really I am just asking for clarification if I can use the TWRP files from either,
This thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...overy-unofficial-twrp-3-4-0-0-galaxy-t4138313
Or this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a50/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3941843
In the second thread there is mention that Magisk doesn't work with this software? I need Magisk to work for the usage of Smali patcher. So, if anyone could provide the correct software, or advise me as to what the correct solution would be, I would highly appreciate it!
