[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] jfed:
Hello All,

I am new to phone forums but not new to XDA I have experience with rooting tablets but not phones. I have the Galaxy note Tmobile and I am tired of the bloated crap they give you to run the phone. I did a couple of searches and maybe keying in wrong words. what program do I need to figure out to unlock phone so I can then download the root packages and beging rooting?

Thanks,

Joe

(Before trying this method make sure you have backup rom from clockworkmod recovery)

There are some people who are interested in locking app in memory. I found a way which can do this easily :) You need following mods

1) Xposed framework

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

2) 'App setting' app based on xposed framework

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2072081

Installation procedure -

- First install xposed framework (its very easy. Please refer xposed framework thread).

- After that install "app setting" app and enable this app in xposed framework module section.

- Now open "app setting" app and choose app which you want to lock in memory.

- After that enable application setting option.

- Now you will see lots of options. Just tick 'resident' option. And finally save it. I have attached screenshot for more info.

Screenshot -

Thats it. Your app is locked ;) I have checked it on dhiru's cm10.1 alpha 8 rom by locking opera mini app which gets easily killed when too many apps are opened. But after locking it by this method its not at all killed by any way :D

NOTE - Dont lock too many apps. It may affect badly on memory management.

To the OP...I know you're new here so I will cut you some slack. If we havent scared you off already, just know for future reference that your question gets asked constantly here. And every single time, we tell them "just try them out and see for yourself". All the ROMs are good and you will get multiple answers from people because of that. And in the end, your question wont even be answered. So just start flashing and have fun modifying your phone.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] clapointedev:
I'm having some issues getting my LG L9 rooted. I bought the phone yesterday evening and immediately found the easy way to gain root, using the LGPwn.apk exploit. I did it last night and things were great- I could use Titanium Backup and everything. However, this morning when I went to go use TB, I was greeted with a message that said I didn't have root, and launching SuperSU gives me the "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it" popup.

I've tried a few things over and over now to get root back, from uninstalling and reinstalling SuperSU and LGPwn.apk, trying restore again and again, even factory resetting the phone. Nothing has worked- every time I try to use SuperSU I get the same message.

I've owned half a dozen Android phones and have never had such an issue as with this phone, and all I really care about is getting rid of the bloatware since I don't feel like taking on the bootloader right now. Does anyone have any advice? I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Nathan.7118391:
Uninstall Superuser then turn your phone off. Take out the battery and wait for like 20 seconds. Then place the battery back in and turn the phone on. Let it load up and run a new fresh download of the LGPwin.apk. Once you hit restore just leave it alone. The phone should restart automatically for you. After it reboots download the SuperSU and install. If everything goes well look in the settings and place the SuperSU app in the system folder. Then download busybox and install before you do anything else. I use this one but a lot of people choose this one; your choice. Good Luck!!!
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] clapointedev:
Thank you for taking the time to make these suggestions, but it still didn't seem to work.

I was coming off a fresh factory reset (though it still boots up with the 20f update), took out the battery for a minute, downloaded a new LGPwn.apk from jcase's original post, and did a restore. However, like in all previous tries, the phone doesn't automatically reboot after restore, as you said it should. It just shows the screen saying that the restore finished and needs a manual reboot.

Installed SuperSU and got the same message again, no SU binary.

:/
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
This should get it working, when you use the LGPwn.apk to root, don't take your time and read all the instructions. Run through the root process fast (don't read just do) try this a couple of times. Another thing, use a root browser to check out the /system/xbin (and /system/bin) and see if "su" is in there. ROM Toolbox lite has a nice root browser. Don't worry you can get into the /system folder without root (but you can't access data).
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] clapointedev:
thinking ybredit

I've tried restoring fast, slow, and in between, always the same result. su is in my /system/xbin but not in my /system/bin.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] clapointedev:
Also, if someone could point me in the direction of how to get this phone back to it's real original everything, that'd be great, seeing as how a hard reset/factory reset only gives the phone a clean slate while keeping all system updates (like 20f). I know I've come across something similar involving non-rooted flashing in the dozens upon dozens of forum threads I've searched in the last 24 hours, but can't seem to find it now. If this root method worked yesterday as soon as I brought the phone home, maybe it'll work if I can get the phone back to the exact same state? Thanks.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Nathan.7118391:
I agree with Kuma. . take your time and why don't you download a root checker while your at it. For some reason I had a little trouble with the root program too. It rooted my phone then it said I didn't have root so I just clsoed all my rooted apps, restarted my phone and did the restore binary again. I think I was hitting the ok button when it said restore complete. This time I let it reboot itself and I was fine. But I loaded superuser first and titanium backup, root explorer, terminal, link2sd and once I saw those were running fine I installed superSU and it deleted superuser and then I placed superSU onto the system in the setting section. Ok I'm rambling. . .just keep trying for some reason there's something going on and the only thing that I can think of is that you are already rooted but it's just not working properly.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
It you have su in /system/xbin you have root. What are the permissions for su. It should be 644.

CM 10.1 P769
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] clapointedev:
That's what I'd think, but its apparently not true here. Also, su is currently 755, or -rwxr-xr-x, and Titanium is telling me this is the su it's trying to use.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] SkarlosBME:
Download a busybox installer from Play Store and use it to update/install your busybox in /system/xbin, then reboot. This may fix the root issue.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] clapointedev:
Also, trying to update binary with Superuser fails when it tries gain root.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Nathan.7118391:
1. uninstall superuser

2. uninstall busybox

3. reboot

4. Check for root

5. turn off the phone then reboot

6. Relax

Maybe you're looking at it all wrong. There's something that you did wrong or the download was a bad one. Just re-download the app and try again. But let the app do it's thing and once you have root install superSU (I like that one because you can make it a system app with one touch).
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] clapointedev:
Busybox wont even open, just like SuperSU. :(
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] clapointedev:
Same issue, won't open Busybox.

Try disabling lookout security if that helps.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] clapointedev:
Nope, same results.

What's most interesting is that everything I read says that after running LGPwn and doing the restore, the phone should restart on it's own. When it does finish the restore, all I get is this screen that expects me to restart the phone myself:
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Nathan.7118391:
I hoped you don't hit the button. You are suppose to just leave it alone and it will boot by itself.

I've left it alone for 15 or so minutes before, nothing happens.

that made me lol, you got thanks for that. well if he cant get root then he cant install busybox and so on. at least that way he will have root. i guess hold off on the full monty until you're ready to pull your hair out.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] clapointedev:
Nah, I'll probably be doing the full-blown rooting, unlocked bootloader, etc. in the next few days. I was hoping to get by with a simple solution this time after hearing how stubborn the L9 can be, especially after how simple my last five or so devices have been to root. I started out with the OG Droid and have loved all the hacking we can do on Android, but a busier lifestyle these days (read: multiple children) means simpler solutions. Still, I know I'll find some enjoyment in nearly bricking this phone in the name of improved performance!

Thanks for all your help, guys.

Sorry I couldn't help you bro. Just get some rest and start fresh tomorrow. Some people had just as much trouble with the easy root method as you did. Took a few days of over and over. . .

Sometimes just taking a step back will help.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] clapointedev:
Yeah, totally. It just sucks coming from a CM10 phone that's got crappier specs, but looks better than LG's skin.

Time to relax, enjoy life, then try something new. Thanks for all the suggestions and encouragement.

A friend gave me his One S because it wasn't working anymore, i have no idea what he done to it.

It can boot into cwm but can't mount sdcard so I cant sideload a new rom.

What can i do?

Follow This Thread.
[HTC One S] shaggydiamond:
thanks but how do i know which One S variant I have? I need to know because i need the right stock recovery?

Correct me if im wrong tho
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Yes, that's right.

Go to fastboot on your phone. connect it to PC.

Open a command prompt and head to folder where your ADB+Fastboot files are located. And enter this command.

fastboot getvar all

Just realized CWM.

Is the SD card partition working?

If yes, flashing TWRP 2.3.3.0 recovery might do the trick instead of taking the long road.
[HTC One S] shaggydiamond:
Not sure what you mean by sd card partition working, but heres whats up with getvar all >
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
okay that's an S4 version

From the info you've given, it seems that this phone has remained on ICS.

If you want to stay on ICS, use this one-stop RUU solution:

This

If you want to upgrade to JB:

This

Both of them, should clear your problem without any hassle
[HTC One S] shaggydiamond:
Allright, these are RUU's, but aren't those CID specific? Edit: starting JB download anyway, it's a big file so if i need it I already have it. how do I apply an RUU, i have never done this. by the way thanks for helping out
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
I edited the post for the RUU Files. Some people reported incomplete downloads from that site. Use the Updated links.

Edit: The RUU includes your CID. Tested by some.

To apply it, Just run it, simply. It will do the job for you.
[HTC One S] shaggydiamond:
Thank you very much, one question tho, do I run the .exe while in fastboot mode?
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Yes, That's correct.
[HTC One S] shaggydiamond:
The JB gave me an error, but I guess that wasn't the updated link, downloading the updated link RUU now
[HTC One S] shaggydiamond:
the JB one looked like it was gonna work, but it gave a signature error..
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Try the ICS one. I'm on it in the meantime to find suitable RUU for your CID.
[HTC One S] shaggydiamond:
trying the ICS one. thanks man, really appreciate it!
[HTC One S] shaggydiamond:
found the original recovery, flashed it, cleared storage. installed twrp and mounted sd card. Downloading my first rom now.
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Nicee.

Thought the RUU would be shortcut.

Anyways, happy flashing.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PToN22:
Hello,

I recently started getting not enough space when updating my apps, etc and when i go to storage i noticed that the internal storage seems to have 2 partitions.

- One with 1.97GB

- The other one with 11.36GB

Besides that i have a SD card with 32GB.

I am using SuperNexus Milestone 1 and it is great, but this running out of space is not working right for me... Shouldnt the entire internal memory that comes in the Galaxsy S2 be used as 1 internal storage...? It's been so long since i rooted my phone that i cant remember if this was how it was originally setup...

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
That's how it was out of the package.

The 11.36 is for data storage, pictures, videos, random user data

The 2gb partition is where apks and config databases get installed.

How much free space do you have on that partition?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PToN22:
Right now it has 200MB free, but then it shows Internal storage 7GB free and SD card 20GB free...

I was just hoping that the ROMs would use/see the entire internal storage as 1 and the actual SD card as another one. But it seems like this is how android is...?

Is there no ROM that uses the entire internal storage as 1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
Its not how android is. Its how non-nexus devices are.

Nexus devices utilize one large partition for /data and storage. But with the downside that there is no external SD

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PToN22:
This is a nexus based ROM with no modifications at all. I guess i ll go to the ROM's topic see what everyone else has.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
Notice the part where I said DEVICES? Yeah that part.

It has nothing to do with the ROM you are on and everything to do with the damn partition table which you should not mess with at all.

Go to the ROM's topic and see that everyone else has the same layout as you.

Hello all

For all of you wondering how to get CheapCast to work, I made a video on how to connect your Phone to your Tablet.

Very simple process.

1. Download Cheapcast from Play Store on both devices.

2. Set both device names for the devices.

3. Start service on both devices.

4. Connect Cheapcast on phone to your tablet device name.

5. Enjoy

If someone can be so kind as to put my link in a comment below :)

Just search: " Cheapcast - Control your Tablet with your Phone "

Thank You
[Android General] EcHoFiiVe:
You only need to start the service on the tablet if you're using it to play videos.. You only need the service on one device not two.
