Thanks for root!!!! Only challenge I am having is that when downloading apps they get to around 80 percent then hang. Also, when opening an app that needs SU permission, it takes forever for the permission screen to display. Any ideas on how to fix this or is this just normal for now?

I am working on a video for this root process. Hopefully i will have it up later today.
[G4 General] automaddux:
Sorry, Read through the OP twice and didn't see anything about the bootloader.

So.... I don't need to unlock bootloader? I ask because if it's not an option yet, but there is still root achieved, then you don't need to have it unlocked?

I'm just trying to wrap my head around because I always assumed you can't have root without unlocked bootloader.

I'm also, sorta new to the terminology of all this so if this sounds like a noob, please forgive me as I'm just trying to learn.

You can have Root without an unlocked bootloader. We don't have the ability to unlock the bootloader as yet.

NON-ROOTED Telus H812 image

Hi everyone,

Here is a NON-ROOTED dump of the Telus H812 system.img. I'm currently learning how to root a system.img and I have not succeeded yet, I hit a roadblock on the chcon command. Any input on how I can implement the necessary chcon attributes through ubuntu? I mounted the system.img file and I'm editing it directly.

Otherwise if someone knows how to do it and is willing to do it, please feel free.

Thank you!

[G4 General] Layney:

[G4 General] karendar:
I think I saw someone dump the image and post it in the thread already. Just a matter of time before someone roots and posts it back.

Otherwise, it'll have to be pulled from a phone so we can apply root.

[G4 General] biff6789:
Any of the devs willing to chime in and say whether or not they are rooting any of the new images we've been posting in here since yesterday (Verizon 10B, Telus H812, etc)?

If so, awesome and thank you. If not, would you guys mind posting a tutorial so that we can root the images ourselves? Basically we would need to know:

1) How to unpack the img files

2) Which specific files are needed to root and where to put them (I would guess Superuser.apk to app directory, su and supolicy to /xbin, libsupol.so to /lib, install-recovery.sh to init.d -- anything else? Am I way off here??)

3) How to set permissions on the new files

4) How to successfully repack the img file

Thanks! We appreciate you guys so much
[G4 General] autoprime:
Fix would be to flash 10e system.img instead of the 10g system.img. An AT&T user on 10e will have to dump one if no one has posted that yet.

And this fix would go for any other users who have the issue on other variants. Just reflash the system.img you had on the phone originally... if not already posted.. hopefully someone will eventually post them all. Unfortunately I dont have access to all the variants myself.

*edit*

hmm.. rethinking this.. theres no way to get the 10e system onto the phone after its already messed up. hmm.. gonna have to think about this one..

On an unrelated note...

can a rooted Sprint user on ZV5 dump their boot.img and upload it somewhere for me? Following commands would back it up to sdcard.

su

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot-ls991zv5.img

and can someone rooted on AT&T 10g dump modem AND boot?

su

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot-h81010g.img

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modem of=/sdcard/modem-h81010g.img

thank you

[G4 General] kaymmm:
Sorry, I wasn't able to get the phone to a point where I could copy a clean system.img file on to the phone. if you somehow still have your original system.img on the phone, you can just reflash that using the dd command for AT&T phones from the OP, replacing the path to the rooted image with your original image. The problem is that send_command.exe/py is not ADB, it's a way of sending terminal commands via serial communications. You might be able to copy files in download mode using something like mincom, but that's beyond my knowledge.
[G4 General] Dozenboy0012:

[G4 General] autoprime:
woohoo thank you! :highfive:

guess i'm getting pizza for lunch today. I wasnt able to get a code myself :rolleyes:

you could use a H815 KDZ to restore if something gets messed up I think. OR yes, you could use this root method to reflash system.img at any time.

but yes, if you wanted to reflash system.img it would need to be on your internal sdcard, this wont work with external sdcard. and if the phone doesn't boot.. there'd be no way to get the img back onto the phone.

so, KDZ.. or carry around system.img on internal storage

So to be clear before I brick something...

I am on AT&T 81010e (only took that one OTA that self-installed, didn't even give me an option, I blocked OTA's after that).

Currently there is only a download for the 81010g.

Rooting w/ the 10g while on the 10e SW will brick the phone, so I either need to hold off until there is a rooted 81010e system.img OR unblock the OTA and update to 10g to flash the rooted 10g system.img?

I believe someone already uploaded a 10e system.img, but if not I can do it if someone points me in the direction of instructions on that process.

Thanks
