Root N900W8VLU2DPG1 lp 5.0

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I have a quick question I hope someone can answer. My note 3 bootloader is updated to the latest firmware N900W8VLU2DPG1 lp 5.0, I would like to root my device but don't know if I can. I have Oden ready with CF-Auto-Root-hltecan-hlteub-smn900w8 (CF N900W8 lolipop 5.0 version is N900W8UBU2DOL1), USB debugging, reactivation lock off and I think i'm good to go. Only issue is the cf auto root firmware is older than mine, will this be an issue? I was debating just trying it anyways but I haven't found a single article of someone else trying. I'm new to rooting and don't want to do something stupid. I am just unsure if I can downgrade my firmware like this can anyone help?

Some more info:

Location: Canada

Carrier: Telus
[Galaxy Note 3 General] trlgger:
So I read online that you can add the TWRP recovery and flash SuperSu to get root access. Since Canadian bootloaders (the newer versions) are apparently unlocked, I tried flashing twrp-2.8.7.0-hltecan-4.4 using odin 3.12 and 3.09. Nothing happens, it says pass but I boot into stock recovery. I ticked off auto-reboot and tried again, afterwards I manually went into recovery from the download screen and got this message "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" and black screen. Then my note 3 just booted normally without going into recovery. When I went into recovery, its loading stock recovery again. Any idea why this is happening?

I even tried the newest twrp hltecan 3.1.1 and the same exact thing happened. I am running n900w8vlu2dpg1 firmware on a note 3. I believe the custom recovery is being automatically removed when detected. :(

[Galaxy Note 3 General] turtleboyy:
Yeahhh so im getting the same problem as everyone else the physical back button isnt working. Anyone have a solution. SOME1 PLS HALP
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ::2dfx:::
Personal opinion - DO NOT USE THIS METHOD.

YOU WILL LOSE YOUR ABILITY TO USE THE 'BACK' BUTTON NATIVELY.

If you do not want to use the S-Pen constantly on stock firmware, stay away from this method.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JJEgan:
As the OP is dated 2013 and not knowing what method you used and if you used outdated methods its impossible to comment .

Flashed CF-AutoRoot via Odin on stock Android 5 image.

Applies root however makes the back button inop.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] drgonzophd:
So I've been stuck in this situation for about 2 weeks now and have searched XDA extensively so I'm fairly confident this issue hasn't been addressed elsewhere. If it has, I apologize.

So I had rooted my 2013 Nexus 7 shortly after buying it back in August and I had been running a custom ROM (CleanROM I believe). A few weeks ago the OTA update notification appeared in my notification panel and I just kept ignoring it because I didn't have time to flash a new ROM. I think after a few days the OTA Update simply went through without me clicking on it. Since then my device will not boot past the Google logo with the unlock icon below it.

I can boot into the Bootloader and Recovery and both are recognized by adb and fastboot mode in terminal (I use a mac) but if I try to flash anything neither are able to write to any partitions. Using recovery on the device it gives me the error... "Unable to mount system" "Unable to mount boot" "Unable to mount data" if I try to flash anything. I am also getting the "Storage: Internal Storage (0 MB)" message when I just simply try to mount anything in TWRP.

One of the many tutorials I've read has suggested formatting data in TWRP and that then I should be able to write again. Well I've done that multiple times and I still cannot write from recovery or remotely through fastboot.

I am out of ideas and would be open to any suggestions other users have to offer.

Here is the error I'm getting in TWRP when I try to format all data

Updating partition details...

E:Unable to mount '/system'

E:Unable to mount '/data'

E:Unable to mount '/cache'

E:Unable to mount internal storage.

Here is the error message I get when trying to flash a factory image through fastboot

I get similar (flash write failure) errors when I try to flash individual components separately.

Anyone got any ideas what's going on? I'm afraid the actual memory in my device may be totally borked.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
Are you running fastboot with elevated privileges? On unix that would be root which I assume is similar on mac.

The other thing that might have happened is the partitioning got messed up.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] drgonzophd:
I've used the adb root command and gotten the response that I'm already running in root mode.

I think you may be right about the partitioning having gotten messed up. Any idea on how to remedy that?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] fosser2:
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but to me I believe your internal SD might have gone bad. Try to fastboot flash the stock recovery and do a factory reset with that, but I really have my doubts. I guess just try to get it replaced from ASUS...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] drgonzophd:
Problem is I can't even re-lock it or flash the factory recovery back onto it. I'm pretty sure that voids any warranty with ASUS.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] BradleyW:
Could this help?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] drgonzophd:
Already tried that, a different OSX Toolkit and also applying the terminal commands manually with the specific files included in those tool kits. I keep getting the same 'Unable to write' errors when attempting to flash anything.

I'm afraid I may have an actually bricked device. This is my third android device, I started with the original Moto Droid on launch day and have rooted all three devices and never had an issue.

Anybody know if there is a place to sell bricked devices for parts or for developer use?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] BradleyW:
I wouldn't give up, keep trying!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Meakii:
Hi just wondering if you ended up having this resolved? I have the exact same problem with my Nexus 5. Did you send it back with the unlocked boot loader? If so was it accepted under warranty?

Cheers
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] vite0150:
Same problem with a Nexus 7 2013 (flo, using omni rom) :crying: but it happened randomly, i was using it normally, rebooted without a reason, take a little bit longer than expected to boot... 10min later another reboot, and then the same thing that happened to you :(

You ended up selling it for parts/repair or sending it to rma?

someone knows if this can be fixed with jtag?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] latenighter49:
Had this problem also

I had this problem also. I ended up sending it to Asus for warranty work. They replaced the main board and memory. It is working fine so far. There are other threads with similar issues. I wonder maybe a bad update or a bad hardware batch.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] celze20:
I had the same thing happen with my Nexus 7 2013, I RMA it, and the paperwork said it was a CPU error. I couldn't flash or sideload anything whatsoever. Your chip set could have failed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ryderbg:
I have the same problem with my Nexus 7 (2013). I understand that it cannot be fixed in home so I have to send the tablet to its warranty service. But I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted the tablet. I believe they wont fix it and will deny the warranty. So I think I need to pay the cost :(

Anyone can help with info?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cubexg:
Wow..This just happened to me tonight on the way home on the train.. At least I know I'm not alone. Same situation as far as being unlocked and unable to relock. I guess I'll call RMA on mine too.. Go figure.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] vite0150:
I managed to relock the bootloader, with the usual method to do so (fastboot oem lock)...

My problem with rma now is that i bought it used from ebay, i don't know if that would be a problem (because i don't know where it was bought or the date of purchase)... earlier i register it on the asus web site with the date that i bought it from ebay, i hope it works

Also i contacted a guy that have a jtag, but apparently this device isn't supported yet
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Pandae:
In six months you may have issues, because the warranty will certainly be based on the original purchase date. That's if the previous person did register it, though, and for now the device is definitely in warranty.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] vite0150:
I have another problem, i don't know if the serial number that i used to register the product was the one of my device, cause the ebay seller had a bunch of these tablets and maybe i got the wrong box...

in fastboot i see a serial number but it is just 8 digits, the ssn on the box is 12 digits... :s
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] bulbouscorm:
I think I killed my flash memory too...

My internal storage has been nearly full for a while now and I haven't got around to cleaning up shop. Tonight I automatically clicked on an update all apps button in the play store and stopped paying attention. During the process the tablet shut off and will not boot into anything except fastboot mode.

I'm pretty sure the internal storage is full. I get write errors for everything that tries to flash or factory reset or write to the device.

At certain points my repair process freezes on stages such as "erasing cache" or "erasing system". It just freezes. I may be wrong but it shouldn't take more than ten minutes to delete the cache through adb? I'm going to do some more research. for the moment I locked the bootloader just in case...

Can anyone give some insight?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] vite0150:
Same symptoms as mine (btw, mine was nearly full of movies when it happens and was on 4.4.2)

You should try to relock the bootloader, erase the custom recovery (I erase the whole partition) and ask for a rma ticket :(

Btw, the rma was super fast, in 3days it got fixed
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] bulbouscorm:
please give me some advice about how to do this? My head is spinning with all the different routes I've taken, now that the bootloader's locked I'm not sure how to do anything haha. For clarity the tablet won't get past the white "google" logo so I can't enable USB debugging or things like that

This thread assists a friend who is a new Mom & ALL of her infants pictures are not showing on this phone. I appreciate advice on this one, and happy to compensate anyone for taking a few minutes to advise me. I'm unfamiliar with HTC phones so thought I would post.

She fell asleep last night playing a game, today the phone is in "safe mode" and shows no pictures stored.

Phone is not rooted, completely stock. What is my best option. Thank you
[HTC One X] Sourcewire:
Thought there might be life here. OK, $100 bucks for the fix. Anyone
[HTC One X] D3VICE:
Why is the phone in safe mode?

If it can be booted normally please let her install the Rescan Media app from the Play Store.

Open the app, and wait for 10 minutes (it works in the background). After ten minutes restart the phone.
[HTC One X] maxilick:
Quick $100 for you.

If he doesn't get back to you remind him with a PayPal request.
[HTC One X] D3VICE:
Haha I'd be just as happy with such easy $100 just as much as the next person but I doubt that's gonna happen.

I just hope she can recover the pictures, I've been through such problems where I myself couldn't recovery mine and it sucks a lot.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
That's why i turned on dropbox auto upload ! :)

These main problems are because of MTP, it's crap. HTC should have let UMS in ......

If your solution doesn't work there are 2 options i can think if at this moment

1: let a repair shop read the sdcard from "outside the phone"

2: unlock the bootloader and take the chance to recover the missing files (first unlock will delete sdcard)
[HTC One X] D3VICE:
Yeah I've been using that too since this week, only problem I have is all the photo's I send over Whatsapp and such always gets uploaded but I never send anything worth saving over Whatsapp and the camera turns the photo to crap anyways.
[HTC One X] maxilick:
Yep, at least your one of few that keeps redundancy in mind.
[HTC One X] Thant:
I have this issue before one year. I don't remember soo good but I think resolved the problem s FULL FACTORY RESET. But I remember HOW I go in Safe Mmode. After trying go in bootloader but I don't know why it is been unsucssesuful and the phone go in Safe mode.

The best way for you is to try to factory reset without wipe SD Card and see what will happend. I hope will exit from safe mode and you will not lose your pics.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViPaSoft:
Hi,

I've just bought a new laptop and it's got windows 8 x64 on it. I've tried and tried to pair the TF101 to my laptop, but all I keep getting is 'Windows could not find the driver software for your device.'

I've downloaded the USB drivers from ASUS too and pointed my device to the folder and it doesn't find any driver there either.

I'm using Android Revolution HD 3.6 and I've tried it in several USB ports and using the original cable and a backup one I bought from ebay. I know the device works normally as I had it running without issue on my previous PC, (Windows 7 x64), only 2 weeks ago.

One thing to add, Windows recognises is as TRANSFORMER TF101.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
Does anyone have a copy of the original stock encrypted ruu as an executable for windows. I can find the decrypted version but not the original.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
no one has it is allowed to post it? :confused:

sucks though wish we had it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
Well that's lame. Thanks for the info. I'll see if I can recrypt the decrypted version with ruuveal. I would like to have a safety net before rooting if possible.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
A re-encrypted RUU will do you no more good then the decrypted one, in my opinion.

You have to be S-Off to flash it either way, since it won't be signed with HTC's signatures.

Just trying to save you some time, since it won't be any more useful then the decrypted one already posted.

Again, if someone else has more or different info regarding this, I'm all ears! :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
Ahh. Good to know. I've never recrypted an ruu before because in the past they were always readily available. I'm new to the whole encrypted ruu thing. I'll just have to accept that once I go s off I'll not be able to restore to stock and s on if I need to.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] CNexus:
I think it might still signed, just decrypted.

Decryption doesn't mess with the signature if I remember correctly.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Is their any harm in trying out an ruuveal'ed recrypted RUU on S-ON phone?

Would it just not flash if not working, or is it possible it would flash but not work correctly?

If there is no harm, why not have someone use the tool and upload the RUU for someone with S-ON willing to try.

If it's not allowed to be posted, just use PM.

Although I am S-OFF, I am interested in this, and would love to have a stock working RUU.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
Yeah I imagine the worst would be just an unsuccessful attempt. I think I'll try and recrypt it just to see what happens. That's if I'm able to re encrypt it. Hopefully HTC doesn't nuke my device for trying :-o
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
From what I've been told, it won't even flash in it's original encrypted form.

It fails on installing /system.

That's just what I have been told.

If that is the case, I doubt it's gonna get anyone very far.

But of course anyone is welcome to try. That's why it was posted I assume.

I don't see how decrypting and re-encrypting it doesn't break the signature though.

But that's cool if that's the case, when and if there is a complete ruu to work with.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
I thought a new one was uploaded and works fine for those of us that are S-OFF?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Looks like it was possibly flashed successfully by one user.

So that may very well be the case. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Hopefully someone with S-OFF will try for us soon to confirm., 100%

Hi, since the new Samsung Keyboard supports swyping now and multi-language without switching the languages i prefer the stock keyboard now.

I just miss some symbols on the normal keys like in the Swype app.

Should look something like this after modification

Of course i want the buttons usable. So if you long press them the symbol is insert instead of the letter.

Is it possible to modify the Stock keyboard app to achieve that?
