[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] esgie:
First of all, thank you for this little mod. It's a pretty one ;]

Second: I use Note 12.2, I know it's 10.1 thread, however i followed the link in 12.2's topic, also i think this might be important for other 2014 Note's users as well, as the devices hardware is almost equal. See below for details.

So... Flashable zip DOES NOT work out-of-the-box on my SM-P905 (Note Pro 12.2 LTE / Qualcomm cpu based) running stock (but: deodexed, rooted, heavily debloated...) 4.4.2 firmware.

Boot animation does not show up at all, there is only Tab S booting sound in background, but tablet keeps displaying bootloader screen all the time, until Android is booted (it does not cause bootloop, fortunately).

After running bootanimation binary thru terminal the animation does not show, too (and it showed up on a genuine config!), and the shell outputs some warnings about unoptimized libraries to stderr.

In my opinion, there might be some difference between exynos/mali and qualcomm/adreno libraries/binaries (there are A LOT of differences related to other system components and even system structure itself...), and the ones provided within a zip do not comply with qualcomm hardware/other system components, resulting in lack of graphics. I bet it's a library file, as it has different size (it is... 4 bytes smaller on stock rom), although I didn't compare the binaries size... Please note that it is possible that the issue MAY apply to P605 users too, as well as other LTE/qcom tabs (note thet this is only a guess, based on my own experiences...). It would be a good idea to provide some backup/restore solution or at least tutorial, until further tests on LTE devices are made; fortunately, I have backed up all the essential files, ie. media components, lib and binaries before flashing your zip, but if someone didn't, he may be forced to flash system image/restore whole system nand backup to revive the bootanim back to life...

And what's important, the fix for the lack of display is more than simple. I have restored /system/lib and /system/bin stuff back to my stock ones, leaving only provided Tab S stuff in /system/media dir. After rebooting... voila! It works!

Quick summary: at least on Note 12.2 LTE, swapping /system/media files only is enough to make Tab S bootanim work. Moreover, swapping /system/bin and lib files breaks the bootanimation visual output.

I have a question, also. I wonder if there are any differences in Tab S charging screen (the one that shows up when device is connected to charger but powered off) and if so, are you able to provide necessary files (AFAIR the charging "animation" is triggered by playlpm binary + some other /system/media files, but not sure here, too).

Thank you for your patience.

Thanks for the info..:good:

I have removed the binaries from the zip.,so it would now work on snapdragons devices too..

Hi

I dont have custom recovery for flashing. Do i just copy and paste the 3 system/media files (after backing up original files) and then reboot? If not, could you please post the necessary system files for copy and pasting? I am using P605 LTE.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] esgie:
At least on P905 (the same hardware as P605), overwriting /system/media files with the ones manually extracted from the (flashable) zip file is absolutely working fine and the old bootanim will be replaced by a new one. Just don't forget to check if the file permissions weren't messed up during the operation (644 are a good ones...).

Offtopic: Ofc you shall perform changes to system, so nand backup is still recommended. If you do not want to keep custom recovery during everyday use for any reason, but you have the possibility of flashing it when needeed, at least temporarily for a time needed to restore backup, you may want to check out Onandroid Backup solution (look for it @ xda/GPlay), which lets you creating both cwm and twrp compatibile nand backups directly from Android booted up and running.

It works, best way is to extract the zip then paste the parts under system--> media---> and overwrite then change permissions and you are good to go. I did it for note 12.2

I would really appreciate it for my note 10.1 2012, I can only find the .qmg stock bootanimation but I've no idea how to make it works with my cyano 12 that has the .zip bootanimation. Help would be very appreciate :D

Something on my phone got screwed up and i'm glad i made a nandroid with safestrap a couple of weeks ago. Now I'm wondering if its possible to some how create auto nandroid backups? I have titanium backup auto-run everyday but a having a up-to-date nandroid would be good too.

thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440bro:
It might be possible to write a script that nightly reboots into recovery and starts a nandroid backup process. But I'm unsure if it would reboot after that automatically.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rukbat:
I just boot to SS any time I make any major change and make a new backup. Only takes a few seconds of my time (and a few minutes of the phone's time).

Guide to Unlocked Bootloader (ULBL) of LG L9 P760/P765 and other variants.

Guide to Unlocked Bootloader (ULBL) of LG L9 P760/P765 and other variants.

=============================================

Things to remember while proceeding.

IMPORTANT: You must have P760/P765 with P760 V20B EUROPE OPEN rom flashed on it ....or OTHER UNLOCKABLE ROMS. @Gh0sT.RPG tried unlocking on P765 V20B, V20C & V20D all unsuccessful. But He unlocked on P65 V20A Indian in just few mins.

======================================================

How to Unlock Bootloader and do Easy Rooting of L9 P760/765/P768

Step 1) Preparations:-

Download and Install latest LG Driver on Computer (This is for ADB drivers).

Download and extract Android.zip on computer, preferably D drive. The folder "C:\Android" will be automatically created with all necessary files. (You can use D drive also in case of problems saving or running on C drive on Windows 8 or 8.1

In Settings >>> Developer Options >>> Select check mark on for "USB Debugging Mode"

In Settings >>> Security >>> Select check mark on for "Unknown Resources"

Step 2) ADB Mode Connection:-

Now connect phone to pc with USB cable and change USB Mode to "LG Software Mode". Now your windows will install drivers and in Device Manager you will see following ADB PORT entry "USB Modem Phone ADB Port" (or some other words with name ADB).

Step 3)

Now wait for 30 minutes if you want to unlock bootloader (IMPORTANT Read post) and then open "Command Prompt" and give following commands in windows command prompt.

This should show the list of attached devices in ADB mode like shown below.

Step 4)

Now pass this command in "lower case" only because adb commands are case sensitive.

Phone will restart in pre-fastboot mode.

AT THIS POINT, YOU WILL UNLOCK BOOTLOADER

:

You will get two options and to select UNLOCK you need to press VOLUME UP key which will unlock the bootloader permanently and when you press VOLUME UP key your phone is UNLOCKED and phone will go in FastBoot mode.

(*Sorry no screenshot available of these two options. Second option is something else I don't remember now, but forget it.)

Once unlocked this Unlock options screen will never show up in future.

Now you will see "Fast Boot mode" screen like shown below. But you don's have to do anything in Fastboot mode so just Remove USB cable. Remove battery and reinsert battery and you may start phone normally.

You are done! Your LG L9 is now with Unlocked Bootloader.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] darkodelta:
P760

I have LG L9 P760 on V20H firmware. Funny thing is i used LGPwn Tool about a year ago to root my device but did not do extra steps with SuperSU download and stuff just downloaded app installed it and run it, root is running just fine. But I cannot access my Recovery so I guessed that my bootloader is locked. But if it is locked how did LGPwn tool worked for me.

When I run Recovery mode I get green droid with red ( ! ) over it so i thought it must be cuz bootloader is locked. But when I run your unlock method I just get standard reboot. I have all drives installed as well as full android SDK with Google drives installed that should cover Fastboot (right?). I did follow some tutorials here to install fastboot on my PC but I am not sure who to check if everything is installed tho.

Now if I run 3845#*760# in phone dialer and check for bootloader lock it says that it is locked.

What could be issue with this? Drivers on PC or something else on phone?

Thank you for your work.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cmahendra:
I tried Mobile Uncle Tool, it could not flash any recovery. So did try Flashify latest version and it worked.

Though I did not try TWRP but it flashed all CWM versions I tried. Thats why added four variations. One version without Touch. Technically it should flash any recovery, including Philz too.

You tried LGPwn a year ago and obviously it was working for few modesl only. I tried this with latest LGPwn, which I guess is February/March 2014 version. With obvious reason it will not work on Locked bootloader. But you have P760 so you have change to unlock it but first flash old stock rom, as mentioned in 2nd post in this thread and also in my other old thread.

Unlocking Bootloader was possible on only few versions of ICS/JB. Flash ICS V10D then unlock and then try this rooting and installing recovery. Should work. Once you have installed Recovery, you can do anything with this phone :)

Now fastbook is history, not required at all. :D

[MENTION=4448971]cmahendra[/MENTION]

I see, I am very glad that fastboot is gone(kinda). Is there anyother way of flashing custom ROM on to L9 other then method you showed here. I used this method long ago when I got my phone in bad shape after trying to install CWM using Arthas installer. And could not get it working. I mean I can try it again, could not find anything about flashing new rom other then what you posted. As well I could not find V10D but I guess V20B EO can work?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cmahendra:
Thanks

Actually my OFFLINE FIX FLASHING method is easiest of all. Only problem with people is the SEQUENCE ERROR. I can still guide you if you post your problem in that thread. I thing I should make some changes in that thread by changing few words or lines where possibly a confusion arises. If interested post your query which step you find it difficult or error.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] "G" man:
So, the steps are:

1. Unlock phone that has a factory stock ROM using your unlock method, then proceed to 2.

1a. Reflash/Unbrick phone with kdz stock ROM if already modified with other ROM, proceed to 1b.

1b. See 1.

2. Root phone with your method. (PC may be used to move files to sdcard?)

I have a factory stock ROM, never been rooted or modified.

Will this work with US T-Mobile LG L9 P769? :confused:

Post Flash

I have managed to flash V20B Open Europe to my P760. (ROM is from this thread ) Could not find any other KDZ.

Now I have restored my device to factory settings just as you said in other thread and this fixed all system apps that where broken.

Following that I pluged it in and waited for half an hour. Then started cmd and entered all of the commands (adb devices detects my device and Device manager sees my phone as ADB Interface > AndroidNet Sooner Single ADB Interface.) Now I started adb reboot oem-unlock. And it restarted my device but just that it did not go to prefastboot menu or anything similar just regular reboot. I read your old thread on this and cannot find problem. :eek:
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cmahendra:
I am asumming you have P760/P765 and its good sign that you did everything perfect until "oem-unlock" command.

That's strange to see its booting normally. That means you are not getting fastboot mode also, as shown in screenshot? Your BL seems still Locked but there could be some other issue with bootloader. Try with ICS rom. See if the link of ICS are or not. I forgot exactly which V10 version worked for unlocking bootloader. Read old thread carefully.

Some other devs are claiming they can unlock bootloader with different method. Try that too.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] darkodelta:
ICS/JB

I have flashed ICS (V10A Europe Open) as well as JB (V20B Europe Open) None of them worked from me. Unfortunately adb reboot oem-unlock does not work on my p760 at least on these ROMs. Just standard reboot.

Gonna try to find some other ROMs and try again tomorrow.

Bootloader

I have tested this with V20B again and nothing worked.

Now I have reinstalled Google USB drivers and tried to run some adb commands to so what happens.

After running

adb reboot bootloader phone just restarts no bootloader screen.

When I run fastboot devices nothing shows adb devices sees it tho.

fastboot reboot-bootloader as well does nothing in my case.

Could this be that bootloader is damaged in some way or something similar? Maybe I need to flash new partitions and then repeat process.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cmahendra:
I suspected same thing in previous post. May be your bootloader is corrupted or something else might have happened. By the way I dont think Android partitions are related to bootloader. Its complete different location than android partitions. But I may be wrong in case of this model.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] elesbb:
So this works with T-Mobile's LG-P769. However, i did have to have SuperSU installed PRIOR to running pwnLg apk. Also, do not use flashify on the 769 unless your bootloader is unlocked. :)
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cmahendra:
Not only p769, I clearly mentioned that this method works perfectly on Unlocked Bootloader only with any L9 variant phone.

Hey guys,

I was looking at the newly patched (for 4.4.3) exploit.

It is patched in our .402 firmware but is exploitable in .69.

Update: Exploit is released, see primary thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2781109

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With it me and a friend have managed to take out SELinux:

shell@SGP521:/data/local/tmp $ getenforce
Permissive

Edit: And now, my device is rooted! Sweet :) Time to backup TA.

Edit#2
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] SANGER_A2:
WOW! this is the most exciting news on this forum yet! Do you have a link to a guide for this exploit?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] xsacha:
I would really like to make it a simple process. Right now it is *VERY* ugly!

You have to take out selinux and then replace some files (specific to .69) that let you run root commands from a bash file.

Right now it's just a collection of scripts, an apk and a tar.gz. No checks at all to make sure they are being run correctly.

From what I can tell, this method I am using will work for ALL phones using Android 4.4.2 (unpatched) or earlier.

Although it is using Sony files for the exploit for no other reason than I only cared about rooting my device.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] SANGER_A2:
Nice. Hope you can get it polished enough to share soon! Maybe ask for donations too. I'm ordering one soon and I would love root without killing my warranty.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] SANGER_A2:
Cool. Can't wait to try it out. Will be a while as I'm not ordering the tablet for about a week. I'm fine with linux, but ADB looks like a complete PITA to install on it, plus having to mess around configuring the USB to talk to the tablet. I've used ADB lots on Windows with no issues and will probably run the commands from there instead. I don't quite understand the "&& \" at the end of each adb command. Is that needed if using ADB in windows?

I'm trying to figure out how it all works and I can understand most of what you have done. I assume the exploit.apk gives su. Is this temporary until a reboot or permanent? And does it mean we have to have the app installed permanently or can it be uninstalled afterwards? Then, you copy and make the scripts & binaries executable. But you don't seem to run the scripts? Do the scripts need to be run on the device in a terminal emulator to backup the TA partition and mount the new volume with vold?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] star85:
Damn, already updated to .402. Is there anyway to go back to .69?

Greato work btw.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] xsacha:
Yes, just flash .69. I was on .402 as well and found the exploit patched.

There was absolutely zero configuration on my Linux distro. In Ubuntu, adb comes in the repos. You don't need drivers on Linux because they are detected as usbnet by default. It literally just works out of the box.

The "&& \" is actually for bash. The && only continues if the previous command succeeds. The \ breaks to next line.

On Windows, you'd use a caret (^) instead of a backslash.

The exploit.apk is used to deploy a shared library owned by system because when a system app tries to load its library, it needs to be owned by system and this is the only way I know how to achieve that.

The exploit is all in vdc (a shell command), which allows us to overwrite files anywhere on the system. So in this instance, ServiceMenu is used. Its library is overwritten with one from exploit.apk. The library simply turns off selinux and then runs whatever is in 'log.command' prop which is in this instance, a shell script. In the script it continues on to the root.

Basically: All apps have system libraries but they can't execute system code unless a system app runs it. System user can turn off selinux. Turning off selinux is required to run as root.

Yes, the scripts get run indirectly. You don't run them yourself because you are only a mere shell user. Vold is not used for anything. It's simply the vehicle for running as root.

Sonny, you win the internets. If I had donation money it would go straight to you.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] SANGER_A2:
Thanks for the explanation Sacha. Can't wait to try it. So this let's us backup TA. Does it also provide permanent root or do we still need to unlock the bootloader and break the warranty to get that?

I'll have a play putting adb on Linux tonight. All the guides I found were pretty old!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] xsacha:
Definitely not permanent. Resets on reboot.

I couldn't find anywhere to stick the su binary. /system can't be remounted rw by root. All the other partitions don't let me setuid. If anyone knows where to stick, that would be appreciated.

Afaik unlocking bootloader shouldn't void warranty? Isn't that one of the reasons for TA. When we flash it back, warranty is valid again?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] ranf:
If your distro doesn't have it in the repos just download and install the official Android SDK. There you only install the "platform-tools".
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] fleckdalm:
Thank you very much for this, that's really great news!! As soon as I have time and found out how to flash back to .69 I will try it out. Is there a way to donate to you for your work? ;)

Nevertheless if I understood it right, this persists only until a reboot so if I root it and then update back to .402 it will be gone, so there is no way to have root on .402 with locked bootloader?

Or is it possible to root and backup ta, flash .402 restore ta and lock bootloader AND keep root? That would be awesome!

Thanks
