[MENTION=5031300]blastgator[/MENTION], what will be the difference between your flashable zip and the stock OTA, other than the fact that it's a zip? Also, do you find it preferable to use stock LP on our device vs BlissPop or other 5.1.1 ROMs? I spend a lot of time and computing power building nightlies, want to know if it's pointless. I don't think so, but now that we have LP, I needed to ask you. PMing you!
[AT&T LG G2] blastagator:
I still run KK. I am just doing some of this stuff to get ready for the upcoming move. I was going to start looking into ROM creation, based on stock ROM (since we don't really have any at this point).

Therefore, I don't really know the answer to your question - "is it worth it?"

And yes, the zip is just what I recovered after doing the FOTA. Much easier grabbing these instead of having to flash 20c and then force 2x FOTAs.
[AT&T LG G2] Gemc666:
that's exactly what i was going to say, i don't use blisspop, i don't like custom roms, i prefer stock experience and i cant upgrade since im not on AT&T network, and what he is doing is exactly what i (and many others alike) need, a flashable zip of the Lollipop update
[AT&T LG G2] blastagator:
I slapped a zip together earlier for the stock ROM - it wasn't cooperative and made me mad so I gave up for the evening. Kept getting error:

E: Failed to sysMapFile

It was >2GB so that might have been part of the problem.
[AT&T LG G2] ItsDon:
Exactly what I'm looking/waiting for as well. 100% stock Lollipop rom in a flashable zip format. Well, a debloated version would be better but I'll debloat myself if need be. Our Devs are amazing, I'll hang tight and wait for it :)
[AT&T LG G2] FiendFyre:
Awesome, thank you so much! There hasn't been much movement for a stock LP ROM for the D800, so I'm glad you're doing it!
[AT&T LG G2] blastagator:
<Deleted> Test build info was here.
[AT&T LG G2] Gemc666:
Downloading, i'll report back later thank you very much

Question can i flash that from 20k? or do i need to be on something specific?
[AT&T LG G2] blastagator:
<Deleted> - Old test build info.
[AT&T LG G2] ItsDon:
I downloaded the beta earlier but ran out of time today to do the install. Before I get brave and attempt it tonight or tomorrow, has anyone done it already and if so what were the results? Thanks.
[AT&T LG G2] blastagator:
Didn't work. I had a bad update-binary in there. Once I fixed that I kept playing mix and match because of fastboot error. Still no luck, and needed my phone back. I'll tinker more later.

Tried full 20y bootstack. Tried just aboot and laf 20y, rest as LP. Tried each of this with bumped and unbumped stock LP boot.img.

Bumping gave me a padding error, guessing it might be partially related to that. Unsure.
[AT&T LG G2] ItsDon:
Thanks for the update, saved me a few headaches ;) I'll hang in there until you get a version that boots. Thanks for doing this!
[AT&T LG G2] blastagator:
I won't be messing with it for awhile. I have to work all weekend. 12 straight days of work, woohoo!
[AT&T LG G2] tropazr:
Thank you [MENTION=5031300]blastagator[/MENTION] for all your help. No rush. To know someone is looking into it will hopefully spark some interest in the d800 community! Once again - your contributions around here have been invaluable.
[AT&T LG G2] blastagator:
Once dorimanx releases his kernel for d800, I might just go straight to a stripped down "stock" ROM based on 30a. Who knows. We shall see :)
[AT&T LG G2] blastagator:
Secure boot error fixed. ROM still not booting though.

I think it is a permissions error now.
[AT&T LG G2] tropazr:
Thanks for the update. Wish I could do more to help. Hopefully you can figure it out!
[AT&T LG G2] blastagator:
Seems stock ROM really doesn't like it if you clear /data /dalvik and /cache. I was trying to pin down the trouble spot for the install zip, so I reinstalled 30f via FOTAs.

I reinstalled recovery. When I wiped /data /dalvik and /cache and did a reboot, it just hangs. Although instead of hanging at the LG logo, it hangs at the AT&T logo.

Going to let it sit awhile, maybe it is remaking "dalvik" files and just not telling me. Let it sit for ~15 mins and nada.

No idea what else is going on, to be continued... or I might just shift to doing a custom ROM off a different base, since that is my intention eventually, anyway.

So I just came across this tweet from droidx - https://youtu.be/QicDqTKb_sU supposedly this root method will work with any android phone 5.1.1 or lower. Lots of caution needed here due to the origin and amount of permissions needed, but he did show it rooting a Verizon note 4. I have the apk but haven't tried it as I'm using a prerooted image and haven't flashed back to stock.

http://www.kingroot.net

UPDATED INFO (5/13/15)

1) English version is available here through XDA (LINK);

2) This is a temporary root that doesn't survive a reboot (this is due to write protection); and

3) A permanent root solution (for the Note 4) is being worked on off of XDA (due to some thread circumstances) (reference is here).

Right now there is no word of anyone working on a Droid Turbo permanent root solution.

New perma-root discussion for the Note 4 is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60713495

Update (5/18/15)

1) There is a new script out that will delete kinguser and install supersu instead! The link is here. Keep in mind that this script will need to be modified for our device, but according to the script authors it should be applicable.

2) It has been recommended to soft reboot the device using this app from the play store. There are a million of these type of apps available, but this one is being used on the Note 4 side.

Tried installing and Android warned me of "code that attempts to bypass Android security" text box and I clicked don't install.

I forwarded over to [MENTION=824191]JustinCase[/MENTION] but he doesn't have time to dig into it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zefir738:
Of course it attempts to bypass Android security, it's an app that gives you root.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] koftheworld:
I just read a ton of the note 4 thread, and many people had to try a few times to get it to work. Supposedly this is just a temp root method on devices with write protection. If you do get root, try a reboot and see if it sticks.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] koftheworld:
I'm not sure if this method in it's current form gets us anything over what we have now but it could lead to more.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] koftheworld:
i don't think that's been definitively stated. We do know that the apk doesn't have the exploits locally. instead, it phones home over a secure connection and determines the appropriate exploit to use. i'm not sure of anything else based upon my readings in the att and verizon note 4 root threads. i think the original kingroot thread was closed due to nondevs being too crazy.

but in case it does work, i believe you can use that temp root to use another root tool to try to get permanent root....
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] hotrodwinston:
First question - wasnt kingroot on xda at one time?

Second question - has anybody confirmed this is rooted by running a root command? Root checker said rooted but a root task in tasked failed For me.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Harry44:
Will only be a temp root. You need write access to put the su binary and supersu into system. Unless an exploit is developed that has the ability to write to system than this will only ever be temp root.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jaocagomez:
thats what i thinking, im not buying it, i think it is just modifying root checker to just say ''yes device rooted'' but actually is not and its installing something else, could be malware, remote access from china...

until i have confirmation from someone who knows i will believe it

to the ones who already tried this, install another app to check root, NOT ROOT CHECKER
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] koftheworld:
that's low.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] koftheworld:
this is exactly what is being talked about in the note 4 area. they were trying to come up with a tool to exploit temp root into perm.

according to the folks in the att and verizon note 4 areas this is actually root. the issue is what the apk is actually doing, what data it is sending and where, and the fact that it doesn't use supersu or superuser.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] wadamean:
Yes this is just temporary root. At least it has greenify working and well havent checked other root apps to see of working

Having a second potential root method has me very excited about owning this device for the first time since I got it!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ganggreen30:
Harry44 where'd you go
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rickybogo:
I don't get you guys....

For $20 you get a confirmed safe way to root, that was developed by a local Dev, that doesn't phone home, that survives a reboot, and that has many many users using it so assistance is available, and is in English......but you guys are attempting to use one you found on twitter that does exactly the opposite of everything I mentioned, and not to mention you have no idea what information its either taking, sending or installing on your phones.....all for $20?

I understand have a second method is nice, but don't be so ambitious and blind so fast. Any devs try this? That's my point.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mjc2251:
I'm not trying this until its vetted and deemed safe. I am glad that we have two methods potentially and that now the two devs responsible for root have some healthy competition. This can only be a good thing for us as it usually results better, faster innovation.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] koftheworld:
Your comments are understandable. I personally paid for mofo as soon as I got my device and am running a custom stock rom now. The reason why this method seemed important was a new potential method of having write protection disabled. This device is incredible, but having the option of custom nonstock roms would be nice.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] golgothagecko:
Having to image the whole system is a crap root method. That's why you don't get us guys.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mlw4428:
First it's $20 for a "root" that doesn't disable write protection. Because of that it's more like a pseudo-root. Linux users are used to "root" having FULL and unhindered access to their system.

I appreciate the effort of the developer, but $20 for something that I then have to take and "bake in" additional software that doesn't always work isn't something I want to do. I'd be willing to pay the money if it were a permanent and complete exploit. But at present it's not worth the $20 to me.

Yes this other method COULD have a malware component. That's why brave people are trying and doing research on it. In any case it's sounding like it's better than what we currently have. And it's free.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] wadamean:
Thats very true! This root by far is free and not the dumb 20 bucks. Yes one understands the hard work put in order to get it to work. Yet this is even simpler and can root almost any device even if it's temporary. I just rooted me Samsung galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition with king root which for it actually survived reboot.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] koftheworld:
This root method is different, not better. It doesn't survive a reboot, so arguably the $20 method is better. The available rom images are great btw, so you don't need to do your own images. I think all of you are just being cheap and are used to free one click root methods on other devices. Keep in mind there are other paid root methods out there, but you may not have had those applicable devices. I understand the cost benefit with mofo compared to other root methods, but until a few days ago it was all we had.

All of that being said, it would be nice if this root method could be utilized to get permanent root with write protection disabled.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] golgothagecko:
Installing whole ROM images from the community, good luck with that. Who knows what people can embed in there without you knowing.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] sunscape:
LOL, such paranoia. Best you do all your own hacking
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pjsockett:
In what way, other than the cost, can you possibly say this a better method? Without system access you can do absolutely nothing with this root.

You call the other method a semi-root but this does even less. For $20 you get a persistent root with access to xposed, busybox, adblockers and tethering patches. It may not be custom roms, but with xposed you can get pretty close.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mlw4428:
Exactly. I'm paying $20 to do more work. Give me $500 and I'll give you the names of the CEO of Verizon and a phone number you can call so you can try to convince him to release the signing keys. Sure you'll have to do the work to convince him, but it could be done. It's the same thing.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Slartibartfast_:
People keep talking about the $20 root and calling people cheap for trying to find another method are totally missing the point.

I pledged $25 for a root solution for the Turbo and will gladly pay $25 for something that can be done easily, without flashing new images. I appreciate everyones work, especially the people who created mofo and the people who keep releasing updated images (such as Computerfreek274) but I just don't have the time to deal with running mofo, potentially failing several times before I finally succeed (like many people), flashing a new image and then taking extra steps to get xposed working.

Would I risk my device and data by running an APK that dials 20 different "homes" in China and god knows what it could be doing to my device apart from rooting it? Hell no. But any advances made in this space and any new methods developed bring me closer to what I'm looking for (and willing to pay for).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Harry44:
Okay guys, the method totally works it is root. Its not giving a false positive in root checker as some users have claimed. You can see from my attachment I have a root shell. I am trying to get SuperSu working, thus far it has been unsuccessful. I keep trying things I will let you know.

Update: SuperSu is probably not going to work at all as far as I can tell.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] koftheworld:
If you follow the directions, mofo is easy to do. It is much more involved than some things I've done (ie reference to random one click solution) but a lot easier than flashing individual partitions from adb (see Verizon g2). What data? I don't lose anything between flashes due to online sync.

Listen I understand the hesitancy with mofo, but it works really well for everything except custom roms. Spend your money whatever way you like, but $20 is appropriate for what mofo gives you.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] hotrodwinston:
My problem with mofo is the fact that they charged for it - making it a product - but refuse to stand behind it by giving the same disclaimer you see on free root methods. This to me is wrong. If you want to give people something that worked for you and say "it worked for me but it may not work for you - try at your own risk" and if it works then say "hey if you can spare a few to help out with the time ( and risk of bricked devices) I put into making this and keeping it up to date with the latest updates that would be great" I have no issue with that - if you want to sell me a product it better not have disclaimers like that though or I'm not buying. I have no info on my phone to steal anyway so I tried this method - didn't like it and uninstalled in under 5 minutes.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] nrage23:
So basically, you want a free root method, a developers time is worth nothing and you brick your phone it is their fault. The new XDA spirit is strong here.
