Framaroot not working....

Thanks but unfortunately is not working.... :(

I mean I have not flashed custom recovery but I have tried the other solution with App Framaroot but unfortunately is not working

(exploit fault code 6).

My problem is that device memory of my S2 is almost full (180 MB) left and after search, I have seen 2 solutions :

1) Type *#9900# and after 2nd option (Delete dumpstate/logcat) -> Not working for me....Grrrrr :(

2) Clear logs under /Data/Logs _> you should have a root phone which is not my case....

Trying to root with different methods, I have not found solution for my Build number : GINGERBREAD.XXLB1

Any other suggestion is more than welcome !!!

Thanks again !!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] emeralds5668:
Hi I just got a new sprint Galaxy s4. I had a Samsung infuse 4g that I rooted and unlocked (which btw was hard to do for a newb way back then) but I never flashed a rom. To be honest I was afraid that I would destroy the phone. They are not cheap. I still have the infuse, so I guess I could practice flashing roms on that one but is it basically the same process? I just really really do not want to destroy my beautiful phone. Is it risky to flash ROMS or put other stuff in the phone? Thanks for the advice. This is an awesome site.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] xfullmetal17:
*Anything* you flash to your phone carries a risk (however minute) that it'll brick the device. The root method may be different, but for the most part ROM flashing is the same across any Android device.

IMPORTANT: Check your device model, since there are two variants of the Sprint S4 out there (SPH-L720 and SPH-L720T). The 720T doesn't work with all ROMs, and (last I checked) you lose the Spark connectivity, but 1x/3G/LTE will still work. I have one of the old models before Sprint started rolling out Spark, so I haven't really been keeping up with that part of it.

once you get the rooting done here is a great place to start looking for ROM's

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] emeralds5668:
thanks for replying. I posted a question on the rooting thread regarding the s4. I was wondering about rooting it with my

Android version. I believe it's the latest but was not sure. Do you know if it's relatively safe to try that or are there issues like boot loops? Maybe I should leave well enough alone because I doubt I could fix a brick. These are really nice phones...thanks for your help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cyberweasal:
i had no problems. that being said. make sure you also have a stock rom down loaded on the phone or on a pc to fall back on, that way if you do boot loop you can just flash that. also once rooted make a backup!

you can root without doing a new rom or even choose a rom thats mostly stock with minimal changes its up to you how deep you go.

first thing if first once you root if you have KNOX you WILL flag the knox warranty count by 1 and that is not reversible yet.

good luck

I've spent about 10 hours trying to figure it out, i did figure out how to write prl's but i am still not sure how to force roaming? I just need to tether with a different ip sometimes besides sprint, so not massive data or calls, less than 100mb probably a month. maybe 50mb. But i cannot get either my note 2 or my evo 4g lte to roam :( i've tried a ton of different things, i've written different prls but i still stay on the sprint network.

I was able to root, install TWRP, and permanent root using adb commands to get into fastboot and recovery. What's the proper key press combo because I cannot figure this out?

Sent from your mom's smartphone
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
1. FIRST of all, make sure that Fast Boot is off (Settings --> Power --> Fast Boot (uncheck).

2. Power off the unit.

3. While holding the volume button DOWN, press the power button. If you get the splash screen, you'll have to power off again and try again.

4. Hold both buttons for a second or two until you feel the vibration, then release the volume down button, the bootloader screen will come up.

5. Select hboot (if not already selected). Use volume button to scroll down to recovery. Press power. You will then see the splash screen (with red lettering unless you flashed an alternate hboot) and the unit will boot to recovery.

Do yourself a favor and either figure out a way to get the Advanced Power dialogue into your ROM, or download Quickboot which will do the same thing.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jova33:
Oh Jebus! None of the instructions I found mentioned turning off Fast Boot. I was sitting here last night for like 10 minutes trying to get into fastboot before I was like, "adb reboot fastboot"
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hager03:
If you have tritium back-up you can go to menu select reboot to recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dm5530:
See hgoldner's reply; very good walkthrough.

If you want to install a mod to get the Advanced Power Menu (APM) with additional reboot options, I used this.

Good luck. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jova33:
Yeah, I was looking for the key combo though, so if I ever bootloop or break something I can just restore a nandroid

I installed TWRP Manager from the Play Store yesterday on my Rooted T-Mobile S4 running Insane KitKat V8. I tried to do a clasic backup, the backup was finished but it was saved to main memory, and it must of been huge as I lost almost 5GB on main memory. I am going crazy trying to find where it was saved so I can delete it. There was nothing in /0/TWRP/ except a small file. Appreciate the help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
Do you remember the name of the backup? If so, you can open es file manager and you can use the search function. Search under device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ispot:
not the full name, TWRP Manager saves the file with a date and time nsame, so it was 2014-05-09-?? as I do not know the time, but the file starts with 2014
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
OK. Open es file explorer and click where it says sdcard and choose device. Then click on search, type 2014 and all of the 2014 files will show up. When you find your backup just copy and paste to your twrp folder under sdcard.

[Nexus 5 General] Andriy2:
Pre-history:

Some day I decided to test different kernels on Nexus 5 ..

And after few tests I accidentally flash kernel (via recovery zip) for Nexus 4 to my Nexus 5....

And as I learned later:

N4 - /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 - is boot (kernel)

But!

N5 - /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 - is bootloader

And when I reboot device, I haven't bootloader.... ---> and I haven't fastboot or adb access...

Then...... Goooogle..... No result... All program use adb or fastboot which I haven't...

Then despairingly I try to hold different combinations of hardware buttons...

And!!!

I found second (reserve) bootloader on Nexus 5!!

I hold for a few seconds all buttons

Added: your device must be powered off!

Volume up + power - this will power off your Nexus 5!

Volume up + down + power - this will boot reserve Bootloader

And then I see partition table for Nexus 5 and restore my primary Bootloader using "dd" command ))

su

dd if="/dev/block/mmcblk0p11" of="/dev/block/mmcblk0p6"

Information:

N5 - /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 - aboot - is primary bootloader

N5 - /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 - aboot - is reserve bootloader

Sorry for my English...)
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
yea, that second bootloader has been known about for a while now. but, good job at fixing your device, and its a good post with great info :)
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
This is the first time when booting to the secondary bl have saved the phone.

I have tried to tell many people to try to hold down all the buttons to get into the secondary bl but they were simply unable to do that.

Maybe this only works when aboot partition damaged, and in other cases when tz, rpm, sbl1 or sdi got overwriten it simply does not work.

There are sbl1b, tzb, rpmb but there is no backup partition for sdi

Upon a bl upgrade these are the partition which got updated: sbl1, aboot, sdi, tz, rpm

[Nexus 5 General] Andriy2:
Maybe, because I do it when my Nexus 5 is charging? -No...

Their devices must be powered off - Volume up + Power
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
Yes :D, the device must be powered off. By the way it is enough just to hold down volume - key then connect usb cable to boot to the primary bl when the device is powered off. The same true for the backup bl too.

If the bl got damaged the phone goes to Qualcomm Download mode. In this mode the screen is turned off so it is hard to tell is your phone turned on or off. You have to press the power key for a certain amount of time to turn off your phone. If you dont press it for enough time the device will not turn off or it is just restarts to qualcomm dl mode. If you press it too long the phone turns on again and goes to qualcomm mode. Maybe this caused problem to other people to gain access to the backup bl. Or maybe you cant access to backup bl if any of these partitions are damaged: sbl1, rpm, tz, sdi even if they have backup partitions just like aboot.

Anyway I cant be 100% sure until I brick my device or I get a bricked nexus from someone else.

Note: To force your device to qualcomm dl mode you have to turn on your device and press all the keys down, you will see the screen is off, but when you connect the phone to the pc you will see a new device.

Just came here to say that I got here when I used the hellscore management app to kill my nexus 5, heh. I happened upon the backup bootloader by accident... And got a stock image loaded. This thread would have saved me the better part of a day has I found it.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
yea, i remembered it, thankfully i found it quick(but not quick enough.
[Nexus 5 General] LeoRex:
I found this AFTER I wiped everything... had I known both this and that all that was wrong was a messed up boot loader, I could have preserved some stuff on my internal storage.

lesson learned.
[Nexus 5 General] hacksome:
I used this Hellscore Kernel Manager app to download a version of HellScore Kernel and Flash. The app gave me an option to download the Kernel <hammerhead..xxxxxxx>, I selected it and flashed away. After a reboot, my phone was hard bricked. I am quite sure the version of the kernel, or the bootloader it packages along, are NOT tested/verified for Nexus 5. There was no way to unbrick the phone after you do this. Please note, if you are downloading the HellScore kernel from his d-h.st/users/hellsgod respository, this kind of messup never happens. This app is the culprit for auto downloading a non-tested kernel that overwrites the /boot partition with a wrong one - thus hard bricking the Nexus 5.

Had I seen this post / idea before - i could have saved on the replacement Logic board that the LG service center suggested.

Thank you!

Maybe I don't press the keys correctly..
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
yea, unfortunately sh*t happens. but now we know, in case its needed again. its too bad that this post wasnt anywhere that would have been easy to find.
[Nexus 5 General] LeoRex:
well.... it's just a matter of finding the right search terms I guess. the problem here is that there's no error and the first time you hit it, you have no idea what the hell is wrong.

I mean, for the first 15 minutes or so, I thought the phone was completely toast. then I lucked into the secondary and realized that if I can get into that, at least I'll be able to flash stock. I can certainly see people just giving up and getting it replaced.

as an aside... If THIS didn't hard brick the phone, man, you must really have to put in effort to completely do this phone in.

[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
Can you confirm that they havent replaced you motherboard?
[Nexus 5 General] aryalireza:
nothing!! :mad:

in this case my EMMC part has been damaged !

they using JTAG process and write again bootloader and...

so,my bootloader has been unlocked,when they writing and flashing bootloader and new ROM,they cant understand my UL BL!!

so,they repaire it for me FREE!! :silly:

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

I checked my IMEI before and after that.

and checked my bootloader Revision number

how many way to understand changed motherboard?:confused:
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
I am just asking because there is no jtag support for any snapdragon 800 phone. The jtag pins are disabled by a hardware feature called qfuse. Once they are disabled it cannot be enabled.

I have an LG service repair guide. It states that if the phone cannot be turned on they replace the motherboard and they write your original IMEI to the new motherboard.

If they really somehow reflashed your phone (jtag is not possible) without changing the motherboard then I will try to make efforts through my sources to get infos about that misterious flashing process.

Other way to find could be checking the serial number in fastboot mode.

The absoule thing that could tell you is your motherboard changed could be the PID number which is shown only in LG flashtool
[Nexus 5 General] aryalireza:
Thnak you for information.i intersted! :good:

but one question,if they changed my MB,why they did'nt give any cost from me??:confused:
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
Maybe you have warranty? :D
[Nexus 5 General] aryalireza:
:D:D

yeah,i have

but unlocking boot loader not contain warranty! that's right?? :eek:

how they can understand this phone's boot loader is unlocked?:confused:
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
First thing is that if you live in a country which is part of the EU then unlocked bl or root does not matter.

Second: unlocked bootloader in term of nexus decices is a security feature for the you to avoid thieves to steal your infos if they have your phone. Only works if you have pattern or pin lockscreen. For other phones a bootloader which locked by default it can be unlocked through hacking like samsung and lg phones, for those devices locked bl means that you cannot boot custom rom. On nexus you can boot custom rom even if you lock your bootloader loader. Also there are phones which come with unlocked bl by default and they cannot be locked. Do you understand what I mean?

Third thing LG use a software which support only phones with LG's android because those androids has a special port setting which can be enabled in the hidden menu, but that hidden menu is missing from nexus 5 because the android on nexus 5 comes from google and not from LG.

Fourth: if you have problems with your nexus and factory reset does not help then google instructs you to reflash the factory rom which needs to unlock your bl. I know a guy called google what to do. He tried to do factory reset but didnt work so the google guy instructed him to download android sdk go to the adb folder in cmd then unlock the bootloader then try to flash factory rom.

Fifth: if your phone cannot be turned on there is no way to find out you have unlocked bl, root or custom rom.
