Sorry, one last question.

I've watched a guy's tutorial on Youtube, he used an old (3 months old) version of KingRoot to root a phone like mine.

Is it okay to root my phone with the last KingRoot version?

Thanks, and sorry for so many noob questions.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It should be, but after using Kingroot, if it roots your device you need to focus on getting converted to SuperSU instead of Kingroot's Kinguser because Kingroot is known for not only causing issues and not working with some apps that require SuperSU, Kingroot also installs malware and collects data from your device and sends it back to servers in China somewhere.

You can try using supersu-me to do the switch, it does it for you, it doesn't work on all devices, when it doesn't work it can cause a headache of a problem to get straight, so do some research to see if and how others with your device have converted to SuperSU, there are different ways, find the one that works on your model.

Best new phone for arunchained reloaded

A query for the community:

I have been using arunchained reloaded, successfully, with my Note 3 on my 8000nex headunit for 2 years now.

Sadly, my note 3 is coming to the end of its days, and I would like to upgrade.

I know MHL seems to be dead, and that I will likely have to go to chromecast for screen mirroring.

Being able to use dashcommand, for gauges n such, from my phone to the HU is my main consideration here.

Which new phone has the simplest/best success rate these days when it comes to rooting/setting up the whole arunchained reloaded situation?

Samsung s7? Lg G5?

I have the advantage here of choosing my phone beforehand, to make sure things go as smoothly as possible with arunchained reloaded and my 8000nex.

Let me know which phone you would go with :)

Have you tried flashing a ROM via recovery?

SPflashtool may be your only option, you'll probably need to flash your original stock firmware and start over.

Hello Everyone. It's me again with my Evolio M5.

This time I'm trying to make a custom ROM from it since it seems like there is no such thing. My question today is, is it possible to make a custom ROM for a phone without it's stock ROM?

If the answer is no, then this phone is rooted but ofc I can't use TWRP or CWM on it, so is there any way to get the needed files to pack up a stock ROM from it?

Hi, again.

I managed to root my phone sucessfully. I used KingRoot and then used a terminal script to change to SuperSU.

Now that i have SuperSu, should i uninstall everything related to KingRoot?

Thanks for everything!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, but make sure that you do it in a way that doesn't cause issues, some devices bootloop, some don't. I don't know the results for every device so again, do some searches to find what is safest for your model.

Now you need install custom recovery if you don't already have it, if a custom recovery exists for your model.
[General Questions and Answers] elnt:
Sorry, i'm a little insecure about the fact of SuperSU being the main or not. How can i check that and make sure?

I assumed i did all good because i updated SuperSU and its binary files. The phone took 2 reboots and everything gone alright.

Sorry for causing trouble.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If SuperSU installed and the binaries updated then SuperSU is working fine.

It is the getting rid of Kingroot after getting SuperSU correctly installed that sometimes causes bootloop. I was just saying find the right way to safely remove Kingroot from your model now that you have SuperSU.

OK before the supercilious condescending remarks start flying YES I've read EVERYTHING and I've tried every method to root and/or unlock bootloader listed here (xda), droidviews, android forums, note4 unlock.com, and a few others. No success no matter what I try. .. I've also used 10 different versions of Odin 5 different USB cables 3 different computers and every USB port on each computer I used. Still no success no root method works which means I can't unlock bootloader I can't even gain temporary root. I've used Odin, adb commands, various 1 button root methods, chainfire, etc I'm at my wits end. Can somebody please help me. If it works I will gladly donate to the contributor(s)

NOTE: please don't just post a link to a thread because as I said I've read ALL of them I'm more so looking for some help/guidance and maybe some links to files which actually work for my phone thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] jtat4eva:
Yup I've tried this method... kingo root always fails even if I push the unlock file to my phone using adb

I think I've tried EVERY single method available it almost feels like a catch 22 because some methods say you need to unlock bootloader to root while others say you need to root to unlock bootloader smh...this was the worst investment in a phone I've ever made... it almost makes me miss

The first phone I ever rooted (Huawei ascend 2) and my 1st custom roms (cyanogen and icarus )
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Well, that's why you research a device by its model number before you buy it.

Most of the Verizon devices have locked bootloaders and are a pain to root unless there is a CF autoroot for it.

I avoid the Verizon Samsung devices because they are troublesome.

The link I gave you is supposed to work on the firmware you have, are you sure you aren't missing something?

Indeed... But with root access you can bypass carrier locks

The point is, unlocking bootloader isn't always required to root, it is required if you want to flash. Switching carriers doesn't always involve flashing, just rooting and unlocking.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If it has a locked bootloader it probably isn't safe, that usually bricks the Samsung devices on 4.3 or newer firmware. I'm not certain about Sprint but you can ask in the Sprint note 4 forum.

There's a app called super-su-me.apk, it runs a script and replaces kingroot binary with super su binary.. But even easier is to install twrp manager and flash the newest twrp on your phone, is you successfully flashed twrp you can just uninstall kingroot and flash super su yourself with twrp..

You need to convert to SuperSU anyway. Kingroot has malware that it installs that collects info from your device and sends it to servers in China. Find a working method to get it converted on your device so you can get rid of kingroot/kinguser.

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

You have lucky patcher on your device, you won't get help with any issues around here. XDA doesn't approve of using warez and XDA members won't help those that use it. Have a nice day.

---------- Post added at 08:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 AM ----------

We don't help software theives around here. Anyone using warez(anything that can be used to get paid apps and features for free) gets ignored. This a community of developers and warez is used to steal their work without paying and without permission.

There are many apps that are considered warez. Posting guides and links to warez can get someone banned and discussion of how to use it isn't permitted even if it isn't being used to steal apps or features. Warez period is not allowed at XDA for any reason.

Also, since it isn't allowed at XDA, we don't help with device/app issues on devices that have it installed because someone that uses warez deserves to have issues and usually the issues are caused by using the warez. A community of developers will not help someone that uses a tool to cheat developers.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You didn't do wrong.

I know you didn't suggest lucky patcher, I'm saying they had lucky patcher on their device. That puts them in the "solve it yourself, we aren't helping you" category.

His issues are probably caused by using lucky patcher, in which case, he deserves it.
[General Questions and Answers] Vishal Vignesh:
Noted....

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There are legitimate uses for lucky patcher that have nothing to do with stealing apps and features but the loyal members of XDA just avoid all users that use warez and they avoid helping fix those users issues. Yeah, its kinda unfair, but that's what you get when you come to a community that is built by developers asking for help on a device that has software designed to steal from developers. It is handled this way to preserve what XDA and its developers are all about. It is to protect the developers interests.
[General Questions and Answers] Kooneybert:
Hi,

could you please tell me what will happen if I flash a ROM for the wrong device on a phone? I ask because there are nice ROMs for another version of my device. Is it possible that the wrong ROM will hard-brick the phone or will it be a soft brick?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There is no way to know. 99% of the time it won't work and 60% or more of the time it hard bricks a device.

If you want to use a ROM from another device then you'll have to port it to be compatible with your device. There are guides all over Google for learning to port a ROM. Best bet is, don't use anything from another device, only use what is made specifically for your device.

Does a clean flash include wiping system too?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, it is an advanced wipe that includes formatting system partition and data partition, in addition to the usual factory reset/wipe data, wipe cache and dalvik cache that is done when flashing a ROM.

A clean wipe of system and then install of the ROM ensures that nothing is left behind that might cause issues.

Just buy an older Nexus, if price is a concern. You can get an N5 or even N4 for not a lot, and there's no better devices to learn to develop on. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That's because they are 1 of 3 things.

1)low-mid range

2)unpopular

3)prepaid

These 3 are typically devices that don't get any serious support unless a random user takes it upon themselves to learn how to develop.

As suggested, get something a little more known and popular and you'll have lots of stuff to play with.

[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
All you need for mediatek devices is sp flash tool.. I never used anything else.

If you have bugs like headset isn't recognized, then flash the rom again, if it persists it's a problem of the Rom.

Never use format + download option or you loose nvram partition and imei is gone!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Are you saying that you ported a ROM and after flashing it SP Flashtool doesn't recognize the device?

Are you asking why your headset isn't working n your ported ROM and where/how to fix it? If so, that is going to be trial and error files to find the answer.

Probably a Bluetooth issue, have you tried wiping dalvik cache?
