So is this like one of the older motorola razr or asus transformer tablets root methods where some code is sent to the phone then you open a stock app that uses elevated privileges run some stuff in it then the root method takes over and allows perm root to be achieved?

Here is the one that I was thinking about http://www.xda-developers.com/sparkyroot-brings-root-to-the-transformer-prime-in-apk-fashion/

I thought the H811 variant kdz was posted somewhere here in the general forum, or maybe i'm imagining things?

can the kdz be decompiled or whatever is done to that type of file?
[G4 General] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
You always want to use the kdz/tot for your variant of the phone never try another version as I hear that is messes up the phone pretty badly.
[G4 General] Dennisg34:
He's just a huge troll.

Although this method won't be the root method. I can guarantee that.

[G4 General] larsdennert:
Saying that the root exploit came in an app is not the interesting part. It's like saying I traveled from LA to SF in a car and then saying you can use car technology to go to Hawaii.

The basic idea is to get your payload code to run in root privileged space. For that you need to find a unchecked pointer or something in an escalated function you can repoint to your payload or overlay your payload in ram where your buffer overflow or unintended run is going to happen. From there the function call runs payload and just drops su into xbin. Again just one way to do it. Now you know the car runs on a gasoline engine instead of electric.

Still not the interesting part though. Linux exploits are pretty well documented and slow to patch in Android (thanks to the carriers). That helps but finding Android specific exploits is a separate art. Manufacturer specific apps that run in root are a treasure trove as they aren't audited by anyone, are rushed to market, used few times so they likely have lots of vuln's. Problem is they are closed source too and that slows things down.

Takes tons of time and creative energy to think outside the box about how to inject code.

What's happening in this thread is EXACTLY why the other 'root' thread was closed. It seems some folks on here just can't help themselves. Maybe the devs that own the G4 aren't in any hurry to release anything for root/BL unlock because of the flaming/trolling and back and forth arguing amongst XDA members here?

Unless you are posting to contribute to this thread - specific to the one click root in the OP - or ask a question specific to this topic then please don't post here. Post anything you want in the lounge - that's why it's there. If you have other questions, search first to see if it has already been asked, and if not, then post your question in the proper forum.

I believe I even have to post this :(
[G4 General] smw6180:
You didn't. There are moderators who can handle this, and another off-topic post from you whining about off-topic posts is just as wrong as this one correcting you for doing it. If people have an issue there is a report button. Rather than attempting to be the topic police, use the report button and let the moderators do their jobs, which is easier when they don't have to clean up all the topic-police posts with the rest of the off-topic ones.

Apologies for being off topic as well, but it's really getting irritating seeing so many 'STAY ON TOPIC' posts which are just as irrelevant and unnecessary as the flaming and whining ones.

Mods please feel free to delete this as well when you inevitably get around to cleaning the thread.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aanddink:
So this is the situation,

I have SPH-l710 Rooted with CWM, I THOUGHT I made a backup of my stock system.....It made a image.zip and an image directory. SOOOO I flashed the phone with CM121...........In light of all the issues I could not get my camera to work with any app, them CM121 updated, Google play got stuck in a error force close loop that could only be avoided by logging into a separate user account on lollipop. Which is where the camera began to work oddly enough. Anyways I use my camera constantly and wanted to revert back to my 4.4.2 kitkat. SOOOO I booted into recovery and when I selected restore it couldnt find anything. So I installed from the image.zip and everything appeared to be fine EXECPT I couldnt get passed the second samsung logo right after the animation. Just stuck........How can I restore my poor phone back to my system image I have saved?

I tried this multiple times, then just reloaded CM121. PLEASE HELP!!!!! :(

the wipe/factory reset

wipe cache

wipe dalvik x 3

You could Odin back to stock. What modem are you on? (Ex. nj3, nd8, etc)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aanddink:
L710VPUCNJ3

I did find an image.zip and an image directory with my full phone backup i assume minus the damn splash screen that started this whole thing in the first place. Would I just use odin to flash the image.zip file to restore my original os or would I use CMW and install from zip and use the image.zip file?

And thank you for replying, it's hard to get anyone to help sometimes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Powered_By_Linux:
If you Odin to stock, you need a computer. You download the program (sadly Odin is leaked software so it's pretty shady; you could give Heimdall a shot but it didn't work for me, also Odin is Windows only and Heimdall is cross-platform) and then you download a .tar of a stock image and you plug your phone in in download mode and flash it.

However, there is no nj3 modem :( so you need to use an older one. Is your phone sprint, Virgin Mobile, boost, etc?

Edit: give this thread a look for info on stock .tars http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3121212

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------

Here's a good thread on instructions for flashing the ndc modem. If you use sprint, flashing nj2 should be the same process, just a different .tar. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2774333
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aanddink:
I have Odin already from when I flashed cmw 6+ to the phone, but before I installed cm12.1 I used clockworkmod and made a backup image. It created a image.zip file, will this contain my original stock but rooted image?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Powered_By_Linux:
I would assume so, however, I'm not sure. I've only used TWRP and a little Philz for recovery. Afraid I can't help you there, but someone else (or Google lol) might know :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aanddink:
OK I understand thanks, one more thing if I assume its a full backup of the phone would Odin be better to restore with or use whatever software created the backup?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Powered_By_Linux:
I think Odin can only flash tars. Ideally, you'd want to restore the backup with the software that made it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Cwm recovery does not create zip files. If you made a full backup in cwm it should contain system, data, and boot img files. Restore it in cwm recovery.

But to go back to KitKat from lollipop you must wipe internal storage in clockworkmod recovery first .(if that's the recovery you are using).

By the way cwm is pretty crappy. After you fix it, install twrp recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aanddink:
Thanks for the reply, been tryin to get help for a while. So my version of CMW has the option to create an image backup & also create the same backup in zip format. Inside the zip and inside the image directory they have the boot img files and the system data and ect. I have 2 questions, 1 is what part of the internal storage needs to be wiped? I assume you mean format the system directory? which would wipe the os out at that point? And second since I have cmw installed if I wanted to put twrp on and not wipe the system yet would I need to just use odin and flash it to overwrite cmw? I installed cmw with odin to root the phone originally, cmw is not restoring my backups at all correctly so I would love something that would really work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
By wiping internal storage, I mean internal sd card (data/media) not system.

If you cannot restore your backup, and are not worried about losing your data, I would recommend using odin to flash the whole stock .tar and starting fresh from scratch. Then re root by using odin to install twrp.

If you are on boost or virgin Mobile use the ndc tar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aanddink:
Thanks for the info, I will look into the tar I just need to make sure it's compatible with NJ3 and I am on Virgin mobile. I attached a snapshot of the file cmw created, Im pretty sure I saw a post on how to convert that into a flash-able tar file by combining them into one. That backup is clean except for a screwy boot splash screen and being rooted but besides that it was the first backup. Do you know if twrp has any issues with CM12.1? If I can flash my backup and un-root I would be able to start from scratch and do it the right way this time. I attached the snapshot just for your opinion on if I can use my backup from my phone if you dont mind, also to install twrp if I can use my backup I would need to unroot then re-root with twrp correct? Any thanks so much for the responses
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
If you put that back on your phone in the clockworkmod folder just restore it? If you flash the ndc tar in odin you will be stock unrooted. Ndc is the build before nj3. There is no nj3 tar so ndc is fine. If you manage to restore your backup and get going, you can just get the app flashify from the play store to install twrp. Get the image file of twrp 2.8.7.0 for sprint (d2spr) and install in flashify. Get it from twrp website.

Your backup only has system in it, it has no data. Next time do a full backup. System, data, and boot. You're trying to go from cm12.1 lollipop to KitKat touchwiz without a data wipe and restore. Won't work.

Honestly dude, you seem to have limited knowledge on this. Don't take that the wrong way at all. To save us both some time and get your phone working, just follow this

It's fine to flash over nj3. I'm on virgin Mobile and I've done it a couple times. Also do a factory reset to wipe data. Also wipe internal storage (data/media).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aanddink:
Not taken the wrong way, I am limited knowledge on the subject and that's why I ended up with problems. I appreciate the help since I could not get anyone to respond.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aanddink:
I appreciate the link, understand the process. Just wondering the link to the .tar file is broken (at least for the moment) I will continue to try it, do you know if the zip file from samsung-updates " L710VPUDND8 firmware version for Galaxy S 3 LTE (Sprint) "

will work also?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Nd8 will work, however nj2 is the sprint equivalent to nj3 (latest update). It works fine. It's the last one I used. You may need to do the dialer activation code to get service working after you flash. I think it's ##72786# . I'll check.

here is nj2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] HunterNIU:
I have a Sprint Galaxy Note 3.

As of yesterday it was functioning perfectly with a rooted stock Android 5.0 I tried to put a custom rom on it so I could use xposed and it has been borked ever since, I will list the steps I took and everything I've tried and their results below:

(I did full wipes in between each different flash)

1. Flashed TWRP with Odin (worked)

2. Flashed CyanogenMod with TWRP (worked)

3. Booted into CM to discover I could not get any data connection (could still make calls)

3. Booted to TWRP and flashed DarkLord rom (said there were errors [writing symlinks], caused boot loop)

4. Tried step 3 with Norma rom, CivZ rom, and a Stock Rooted rom (all same results of boot loop)

5. Booted to download mode and tried to flash samsung stock kitkat (just said failed)

6. Booted to download mode and tried to flash samsung stock lolipop (failed)

7. Booted back to TWRP and flashed CM again (this time not only no data, but no calls either)

Seems like maybe one of the issues may be the abundance of region codes and whatnot for all of these roms (including samsung official) and none of them seem to be for USA.

Does anyone have any suggestions or help to offer that I haven't already tried? I don't care what the rom is at this point, I just need a working phone that makes calls and has data as I'm out of town away from family and need to be in touch.

That said, obviously my preference would be to have a rooted KitKat rom so I can install xposed, or a rooted lolipop that isn't a samsung ART (for the same reason), but I'll genuinely be happy with anything that works.

I could be wrong, but is it maybe best to stick with CM simply because it's the only thing that will boot right now? If so how would I go about solving the non existence of a network connection.

I am also using Ting as a provider and they hop off Sprint networks. I had full bars of signal in this location the entire time when I was stock. Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rpenrod23:
1. Power off your phone completely

2. Boot into download mode (power + volume down button - then press volume up button to get into download)

3. Use Odin to flash this, which is the tar for OC5 - http://xdaforums.com/note-3-sprint/development/romodin-t3095540

4. Reboot into STOCK recovery and factory default reset. If you skip this step, you will have issues

5. Once booted into OS, power off again and re-do step # 2 to get into download mode

6. Use Odin to flash TWRP

7. Once complete, immediately reboot into TWRP, or you will be dumped into stock recovery next time you try to get into recovery. I've done it this way since MJ4 and never had an issue.

8. Wipe everything including internal storage - NOT your external SD

9. Install ROM of your choice; I would recommend this one which is deodex and will allow you to install Xposed - http://xdaforums.com/note-3-sprint/development/rom-t3132662

10. Profit

Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] HunterNIU:
Thank you so much for such a quick response! I'm downloading the file now and will be trying this as soon as it's completed. Also the rom you recommended was one I tried that failed, but hopefully with your extra steps it will work because it looks exactly like what I'm looking for. :D

Essa é minha questão, tenho um celular moto x da primeira geração, sou entendedor de Android há muito tempo, mas essa me pegou...

Eu liberei o bootloader e fiz o root, ainda ontem lançou uma nova atualização e eu tentei fazer, mas o "booter" que eu uso, é aquele que coloquei pelo adb do sistema pra poder liberar o bootloader e fazer o processo de root, e então não consegui fazer. Minha dúvida é a seguinte, existe algum processo que eu faça para voltar sem o root e trocar para o FastBoot de novo para poder fazer atualização para o 5.1? Porque o 5.1 é bom, já não tem mais tantos defeitos no chipset por exemplo. Me falaram para usar o SuperSU e tirar o root, e dizem que assim tira o problema com o Booter novo,ou ainda entrar no FastBoot pelo pc, que dentro da raiz do telefone, tem um arquivo em bat, mas ai só funciona pelo PC, será que alguém saberia me ajudar???
