I just got a t-mobile g2 that came with 4.4.2 and I'm trying to root it but every time its rebooting to recovery it just flashes the little android for a second and then boots like normal. Can anyone help me out to figure out how to root it?

Thanks for the reply, I have been trying to root with ioroot the problem is that it doesn't reboot to recovery when it gets to that step. I even Tried the manual method he posted and it only manages to flash the little green android for a second before booting like normal.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
currently there is a problem when it gives the adb reboot recovery the d801 doesn't reboot recovery and right now there is not a fix, autoprime knows of the situation
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beanert:
Damn alright thanks, do you know if downgrading it and then rooting would work?

It may or may not work, it's a 50/50 thing

Huh alright I'll just wait for a fix instead, guess I gotta use the note 2 for a little longer.

Yes. It will unlock and give s-off.

A word of caution, though. When I ran rumrunner on mine it took quite awhile to finish. I don't know if it does that all the time. So in short, be patient!
[HTC Droid DNA] pureminua:
I thought I was doing something wrong on mine because mine was taking a long time to complete as well. My old DNA had an older FW and had to use moonshine and that failed many times before finally working. Rum runner though, worked on the first try it just took a while to do.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ilanderek:
Hi guys! So I bought a qi charger from amazon to use out in my car but when it arrived I noticed it was way bigger than I thought it was so today I opened it to see if there is a way to adapt it and for my surprise it isn't as much of a trouble but my question is can I just stick it to the car mount and not put any thing covering the charger and place my phone on it or does it need some kind of protection? I attached some photos of the open charger and the thing itself, thanks for your help!

Good to see someone still working on this device :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] doctor_evil:
It's a nifty little phone. I personally think it's better than a Nexus S but just suffers from the typical Samsung pump and dump routine where they sold all their inventory to the carriers then stopped supporting it with any updates.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] atmu5fear:
Good job! I have 3 versions of the stock ROM available for this device as well, may have been more appropriate for a base, there's stock, stock + root + Busybox, stock + root + Busybox + overclock. Find them here

Will these ROMS work with the Cricket version?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] doctor_evil:
If the cricket model you have is a GSM version then yes it should so long as its a S730M or S730G. If its a CDMA model then no.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kadeleblanc:
CDMA

It doesnt take a sim card so no GSM. Is there any other ROMs that you would know of? We are kind of stuck out with this model, it kinda sucks lol.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] doctor_evil:
You may be able to use the same CWM recovery on that model,

you should be able to probably use the same kernel to overclock your model too, and you can probably use the kitchen app we used to cook these different version roms for the 730M and 730G models to do your own custom rom, just remember before you start working, to do a full nandroid backup of the current rom so you can restore it back to the original (mostly stock except for the cwm recovery) firmware if you need to later on.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Phone_evolution:
By any chance this will unlock it or do you know a way for me to get the unlock using hex?

Thanks to doctor evil for this ROM I was able to flash my phone but not before removing more apps (bell apps and oothers ).

[MENTION=3278037]doctor_evil[/MENTION]: I flashed your set after having played with [MENTION=5560913]atmu5fear[/MENTION]'s version (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2673097). I like them both very much and am still looking which one I will keep. I have not wiped data/cache (i.e. Factory Reset) before overlaying your version over [MENTION=5560913]atmu5fear[/MENTION]'s one, and it did not hurt. I noticed the following:

Flashing your ROM did not again trip the ROM counter after applying the triangleaway script after [MENTION=5560913]atmu5fear[/MENTION]'s ROM load (it did go off then).

When having a SIM in the S730M and after putting in the phone unlock password, the keyboard stays on top (this does not happen when no SIM is present)

My Battery-drain problem when having the phone powered fully off with a SIM installed is still there. Probably need to await a cooked custom ROM for this to be solved

The triangleaway script for the S730M can be found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2420184

The Battery-Drain S730M issue has been noticed by quite a few people (TELUS and BELL, both in Canada), and is unexplainable. When the phone is on (with SIM installed), power usage is normal, but when you power off the phone (with SIM still installed) the power-drain goes up dramatically (draining the battery completely within a few hours). When the SIM is removed, or when the battery is removed there is no abnormal drain perceived. The other thing is, that, when the device, with SIM and battery installed, is powered off, both the battery area and the SIM area get warm (not really hot), indicating SIM activity WHILE THE DEVICE IS OFF... Very odd. I am hoping that a new KK custom ROM would fix this issue as both 'custom' 4.0.4 ROMS I have tried now show the same issue, indicating it is either a hardware or a 4.0.4 implementation issue...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] doctor_evil:
I am sorry I never responded back to you. I had my Cygwin install with my kitchen build environment running on a SSD hard drive with my OS and the drive crapped out on me and had to be sent in for a RMA. I had a easus todo workstation backup of my drive I was able to restore, but the backup wasn't current so I lost my kitchen environment. I never tried to set it up again as I had hoped that someone would have ported Cyanogenmod to the phone.

I may give it a try again as I just setup a vmware ESX host server here at home and I can allocate multiple cores and plenty of ram to the linux Virtual Machine I created on it once I figure out the best build environment and how to actually go about building CM successfully. Anyone know of a porting cyanogenmod for dummies guide I can use? LOL
[T-Mobile LG G2] kingroach:
Long story short, I bricked my lg g2 d801 after flashing twrp recovery and trying to flash custom rom. The phone would restart randomly. I had no connection and the signal bars crosses out in red. In settings most of my info like baseband, imei etc were missing. I was looking up and many people bricked their phones with no EFS backup to restore the IMEI. This is how I fixed my phone. This should also help people who have zeroed out IMEI after bad flash or whatever reason. But you should at least have IMEI number ready (from your box/ receipt or call t-mobile)

1. Flashed the phone to factory firmware using LG support tool. I used the following guide:

http://androidcure.com/unbrick-lg-g2-stock-firmware/

used the firmware: T-Mobile KitKat D80120A_00.kdz

there's also similar guides in xda, follow whichever you prefer. Goal is to revert the phone back to stock.

After flashing the phone, the phone was woking; however imei was null. In phone settings my IMEI was 0. To fix the null/bad imei follow this guide (Not all the steps are my work; this guide helped me http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1942417 , also watched some you tube videos):

2. You need the following drivers and software:

LGUnitedMobileDriver_S50MAN310AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.10.1

QPST_2.7_378

imei converter: http://www.sendspace.com/file/a3spfh

3. After installing the driver; turn on USB debugging and connect the phone to computer

4. Install QPST, run QPST configuration from from start menu

5. Click on Ports tab. Click Add new port. Your phone should be COM4/5. It will say USB after the port. Select the port and click OK.

6. The port should come up on active phones. Select the phone and and click on "Software Download" from start clients menu

7. Click on Backup tab. Your port should appear. Backup by clicking on start

8. Now go to Program Files/qualcomm/qpst/bin folder

9. Run RF_NV_Manager program

10. Click File read from phone. Your IMEI should appear on number 550; NV_UE_IMEI_I

11. In my case; there was no item 550 as my IMEI was missing. Don't worry.

12. Click on file> Read supported RF NV items

13. Now click on item 550. It should show 9 blank fields.

14. Start IMEI converter. Type in your IMEI in enter IMEI click on convert IMEI

15. There will be 18 digits in groups of 9

18. In RF_NV_Manager program; click on Hex by Write NV button

19. IN the 9 boxes; type in the numbers from IMEI converter starting from left. Type in first group of two numbers in the first field, then go to the next field and type in second 2 digits

20. After you fill in; click on write NV

21. Now click on File> Read from phone. NV item number 550 should appear now.

22. Unplug, Restart your phone and your IMEI number should be there and phone should connect to network.

Above process fixed my phone with full 4G LTE data. Now depending on the how bad your EFS was damaged; you might not get 4G lte data. But at least now; you will be able to send the phone back to LG for repair or return to t-mobile as IMEI number will be in your phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2] lyriquidperfection:
You can do this with EFS Professional. It does all the conversion for you and you dont need QPST. Just simply type in IMEI and write to device.
[T-Mobile LG G2] tpaxadpom:
I've tried the this guide and it didn't work for me. I get an error when I try to write NV. The good news is that I don't have an immediate need to change/fix IMEI but I was wondering if it ever gets zeroed out I have a way to restore it. I will give your tool a try.
[T-Mobile LG G2] tpaxadpom:
So the EFS Professional is compatible with phones other than Samsung? Once I've unzipped the file I see a bunch of binaries for Samsung phones, but nothing for LG G2. When I try to run it generates an error the app is for Samsung devices only... Where can I get a compatible binary for LG G2 or EFS professional that works with LG G2?

I've tried Qualcomm NV Tools instead of EFS Professional and I cannot create a backup. When backup is being created it errors out saying the device has been disconnected... Also if I write the IMEI it says it was accepted but it doesn't change.

PS: I should probably start screweing around with these apps since I may introduce the problem. My IMEI is fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2] lyriquidperfection:
Imei will only write if zeroed out. You are correct, EFS Professional is for samsung devices but the Qualcomm NV Tools is universal. I am currently in the middle of updating it so more features can be used on other devices.

got it. Thank you.

[T-Mobile LG G2] aplsux:
Hey kingroach, amazing guide, wonderful!

I followed everything step by step. Right now I have some generic IMEI which does not work, I'm trying to write my original one back, but at step 20, when I click "Write NV", the numbers change, the Hex unchecks and the popup comes out. When I close it, Hex goes back to being checked and numbers return to what I made them. and I get this popup:

Here's a video.

Hi, thank you for your help too in these threads. I tried EFS Pro, everything checks out, it says IMEI written, but when phone is restarted, nothing has changed. Do you know if EFS Pro need some other setting enabled to actually change the IMEI?
[T-Mobile LG G2] kingroach:
Try deleting 550 nv item which contains the imei and save. Restart the phone and add it.
[T-Mobile LG G2] aplsux:
nope, it dont work

im genuinly surprised the procedure works for lg g2 and not for nexus 5
[T-Mobile LG G2] asterix005:
how did you delete item 550?
[T-Mobile LG G2] aplsux:
I couldn't - you try with the custom list, under tools I think. You move item 550 from the right column, and it dissappears, but when I read NV phone items, its there. It's untouchable I tell you!:silly:

Hey i have the leaked version of 4.4.2 rom installed on my ATT note 3.

I hear news on the OTA update but i don't see why i need to get it.

I just want to get my phone rooted so i can use some of the applications that require super permissions.

Downgrading to 4.3 build seem like an option but some of the links bring me up to "file was removed because of copyright/somethinglikethat", also i prefer more of a one-click style.

But does anyone know where i can find it? Searching for it leads me to the exact opposite of what im looking for. So hopefully a thread post can help me out.

As far as I know, the links are fixed.

Some people like myself are not lazy and have no problem doing tedious things to get their phones to function the way they want.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] blewis540:
I have successfully created my own bypass to get viper4android to work. Always create a full backup before attempting =)

1. Download viper4android APK

2. Download Root Explorer from the playstore

3. Install Both Apps

4. Launch Root Explorer

5. In root explorer go to /system/lib/soundfx and copy the folder to /data/ (make a soundfx folder)

6. Also copy /system/etc/audio_effects.conf to the /data/soundfx/ folder

7. Using root explorers menu you can create a shortcut (symbolic link) make a shortcut of the /data/soundfx/ folder and a shortcut of the /data/soundfx/audio_effects.conf

8. Boot into TWRP

9.Mount the system partition

10. Rename /system/lib/soundfx to /system/lib/soundfx2

11. Copy soundfx shortcut create earlier to /system/lib/ it will look like a "file" to TWRP

12.Rename the /system/etc/audio_effects.conf to /system/etc/audio_effects.conf1

13. Copy the audio_effects shortcut into /system/etc/ (be sure its name matches the old exactly)

15. Reboot

16. Launch Viper and install driver

I haven't dealt with LPA yet (hasn't had an issue) nor have I done any other modifications at this time which are avail on the viper4android thread.

I was just thinking about symbolic links to get around this S-OFF/ON issue and it appears they work and technically as a workaround we could symbolically link everything in system to another location and access it all. This could easily be put into ROM builds now at least as well!

Build.Prop may be useful to move out via sym link as well
