i am little bit confused by all of those steps to get root. (described in this and related threads)

if i understood the whole procedure right then we have to get root first

via flashing a vulnerable firmware made for another device, to be able to backup the drm keys right?

but then we lose root again while flashing back latest stock rom.

now we have to proceed with unlocking the bootloader to get root and recovery.

finally we restore drm keys and doing so bootloader is locked again ?

is this basically what all those steps are for and do i have to go through all of them

if i "just" want to get root on latest stock (no custom roms) to install xposed framework?

thanx in advance and keep up the good work.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] kvi:
sorry, I only speak Spanish, I used google translate:

The original firmware is not vulnerable. The only way get root is opening the bootloader (and put a custom recovery to install SuperSU) but that the drm keys are lost. To keep the drm keys have to get to backup the partition TA without opening the bootloader. To make the backup you need to root and to achieve this must be mixed before 2 firmwares.

Restoring the TA partition relock the bootloader

You should only restore the TA partition with an original kernel

I am able to root my device SGP621 by following first half from lowtraxx's guide and the rest from this tutorial. Now I don't see NFC icon on status after it has been turned on. I have NFC icon before it's rooted. NFC is working fine, able to pair my nfc speaker.

Instruction rooting 5.0.2

Hello there. I found it all quite confusing, not really a noob with flashing phones but it seems there are two tutorials being mixed. I am currently on 5.0.2. (21.1.A.1.28/SGP621) and was wondering if I could get root on this machine and how to make this happen. This guide (http://xdaforums.com/z3-tablet-compact/general/how-to-rooted-stock-sgp621-firmware-drm-t3015494) is a bit dated and so might this one (not sure).

Any one who could provide some assistance? The only reason I want to get root is so I can install apps on my external SD cards, which seems to be impossible without root (even on 5.0.2).

[HTC One SV] danrock1984:
so my phone froze today so I took out battery and turned it on and all it does is go to the boot loader.

So I decide to try recovery all this does is flash android logos and then back to same screen,

Next I try factory reset and same flashes to android logos and back to same screen

After reading this forum

I then go through the process of unlocking my boot loader via htc dev the process goes great I receive email etc etc

The final process should bring up a disclaimer on my screen but nothing

So my question is wtf what do I do?

Please help me :(
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Check the guide at HTC side if you have done everything correctly, all is written how it should or copy and paste.

Without unlocked bootloader, there is no chance to rescue your phone.

Any information about your phone model and exactly the step it fails is important, too.

Since my phone was S-off, unlocked bootloader, superCID (it is k2ul), hboot2.0, I tryed with fastboot oem relock (to lock bootloader, and flash stock pl80img.zip) but that fails too, ends up with to many links message...and bootloader stays with tampered and unlocked sign...before flashing 2.8.4.0twrp phone was working great, but after factory reset it is not able to mount anything, and running pl80img.zip gives me all so only fail...fail...fail...

So..now i have latest twrp and totaly messed up phone...

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] whmgreen:
I just flashed the latest twrp and the SuperSU 5.0 image coming from stock 5.0.2 last night and was having trouble with granting permissions, it would just get stuck and wouldn't let me choose anything. I went ahead and backed up in twrp and flashed a custom rom and all went well. Although I still have the sticking on the permission windows and the SuperSU app isn't showing up in the app tray and won't allow me to open it from the play store. I was recommended to flash the SuperSU 2.45 update which I did successfully in twrp and I'm still getting stuck on the permission window, any help or suggestions I would be very much appreciate. Thanks!

Edit: fixed it, just needed to uninstall and reinstall SuperSU! Thanks y'all
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] fury683:
I am using stock L 5.0.2, and used Chainfire Auto Root to flash it on 5.0/.1/.2 without issue. I am running SuperSU 2.40 currently, and it does not appear to have an update pending on the Play store.

Did you try using 2.45 on a clean install that had not previously used 5.0? Wondering if something is getting gummed up from that, and sticking around on the older version.

Maybe try a fresh clean install on stock or whatever ROM you want and try 2.40/2.45 first before 5.0.

good to know youre getting a fake adapter with your fake card lol.

It could be that a version of this is sold overseas, which does not include the sd card adapter.

However, what does worry me is the text for '128' looks slightly off imo. You can notice it more with the '2', but it seems a little stretched or elongated vertically.

I would try some sd card benchmarks

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spinal Meningitis:
Hello,

I just exchanged my LG G3 D855. It was an unrooted phone updated to Lollipop OAE. I had a backup file created through the LG's own software. Now I have the same LG G3 but I rooted it with D85520A-boot-rooted-bumped-skin1980. If I use the restore from backup will by any chance restore the unrooted version of lollipop from my old phone?

So this morning I picked up my Note 4, used it normally to check emails, etc, went to turn off/lock screen and it wouldn't respond at all. I held down the power button and then it brings up the power menu, I restarted a few times and still nothing. Is my power button defective or could some setting have automatically changed the settings?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arjun90:
Go to *#0*# and select Sub-Key. Press every physical button on the Note 4 one by one (Volume Up, Volume Down, Home Button, Power Button On, Power Button Off). If the end result is PASS, then you're Power button is fine. Can also be a sticky / tacky power button, or something you modded in the settings.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artkrime:
Just did the test, every button turned a different color, volume up (gray) volume down (green), menu (brown), home (blue) back (purple) , power (red, is this a fail?) but I didnt get any PASS. Is the power button supposed to have 2 colors, one for on and one for off? I tried holding down the power button but that brings up the power menu.

Also noticed that the screen will not dim or turn off automatically.

Update: I ended up doing a reinstall of the stock fw through Odin and it fixed it. I wonder what caused it and where those settings/issue where stored? I had tried doing a reset from within settings, but as I understand, that doesn't clear ALL the data.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arjun90:
I know how it feels when the diagnostic doesn't yield a pass. Glad to hear that reflashing the stock firmware resolved it though. Could have been something deep in the firmware causing this. Keep us updated if it persists again. The power button has been a culprit of problems in the past for many as well in previous Note devices. The final result should have displayed "PASS" on the display, perhaps you didn't complete the task, that's okay. Sometimes simply clearing the cache instead of factory reset could have resolved the problem as well. Samsung is notorious time to time. ;)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corpuscallosum:
I have a Note 4 too and since a few days I have been noticing this issue. The power button doesn't wake the screen up. I have to fiddle around the button a little bit, press it a bit harder sometimes and then it works.

Also noticed that when this happens, I unlock the phone using the Home button and when I try to use the power button then nothing happens. Keeping the power button pressed doesn't give me the reboot/boot options either until I fiddle with it.

The strange this is, one it starts working, i can use it again and again until I leave the phone aside until sometime and then the power button does nothing until i repeat fiddling it.

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

Also ran the test : *#0*# and select Sub-Key

All buttons work except the power button but again if I press hard and try to nudge the button a little bit, I saw the colour change to RED. No PASS either.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corpuscallosum:
that's what I'm thinking too hw issue. But once it starts to work it works perfectly even pressing the button lightly. If the phone's been idle for a while that's when it starts.

I have the problem again. I don't trust the carrier to have fixed the issue as it was intermitten in the first place.
