OK, and you're using the correct port? eg if ports.bat lists DIAG port as COMx then you need to run: Send_Command.exe \\.\COMx

Also you might need to run the program as administrator. What version of Windows do you have?

---------- Post added at 16:57 ---------- Previous post was at 16:54 ----------

This method gives you root but doesn't unlock the bootloader. So you can't use eg custom ROMs.

However, the official bootloader unlock voids the warranty. This method probably does too (rct is watching), but leaves no permanent evidence.

---------- Post added at 17:05 ---------- Previous post was at 16:57 ----------

Agreed. Fortunately system.img doesn't hold any user specific data, so you can restore with one you got from someone else (as long as it's the right version).

Of course if your system partition is hosed and you don't already have a backup on the internal storage, I don't know if you would be able to push one with adb. But you should be able to flash one from SD card too. It would be a little more complicated since it's over 4GB (too big for a single file on FAT), but you might be able to format as EXT2 or exFAT (not sure if recovery mode supports those), or you could split it into smaller pieces.

Hi,

just rooted the device of a friend of mine and we have an issue which was mentioned twice:

When Super SU asked what to do we can't click anywhere. Whe window is not responding and the time is running down.

For most apps we where able to grant the rights later in SU.

Does anybody have an idea why the SuperSU popup is not responding?

Is there a was to reinstall SuperSU?

There are no apps installed, so I don't have an idea what could cause this Problem....

Another question: He's using a 128GB SD Card. Before rooting the device it worked without Problems, but now the mobile is telling us, that the Card is empty or not valid. in the G3 the Card is still working. A 64GB Card is working well in the G4.

Is the flashed Firmware not capable of dealing with 128GD Cards?
[G4 General] RenaKunisaki:
I had that problem on my Moto RAZR V. When the superuser prompt appears, everything would freeze for several seconds, which often meant it timed out before I could poke it. I never figured out why. Haven't had that problem on the G4 though.

What does happen with new versions of su is that if you have an app covering the screen with a transparent overlay, the Allow button won't respond. It's a security feature, so that an app can't trick you into giving it root by covering the prompt with something else. Unfortunately it does also prevent clicking when you have eg a screen dimmer/filter app running. The install button on the "install this app?" prompt does the same thing.
[G4 General] Horgul123:
Thanks a lot! One of the 5 (or so) apps installed was a dimmer app ;)

This root method does not erase the phone if done correctly, but if you mess up the commands you may need to wipe it and reflash a stock image. Your best bet it to make a backup first.

Only the 815 and 811 can run custom recoveries right now
[G4 General] workdowg:

H815 is the only phone that has an unlocked bootloader, so that is the only model that can install custom kernels and recoveries.

[MENTION=1157052]thecubed[/MENTION] [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION], hi guys, i would like to share my thoughts with you. My idea is:

- wipe the recovery partition with dd in laf mode;

- reboot in recovery so maybe the device start with fastboot, at least on the g3 worked in this way;

- fastboot a twrp and root the device;

- restore stock recovery.

Can this work? Because we can have a more universal approach.

I would test but i dont have the device, i'm just curious.

See u and good work ;)
[G4 General] sorozco:
I can't wait until your "go back to stock" method comes out. I'm hoping getting back to stock with fix this annoying green spot issue.
[G4 General] Usraek:
There is a 'go back to stock' method for all variants. You use a backup of your system image that you should have taken before rooting and you re-flash it. Then you can factory reset to clear everything else out.

Or you ask around and see if anyone can provide one for your variant.
[G4 General] sorozco:
I didn't find the proper full backup method before rooting so I guess that's my fault but it doesn't change my situation now. I also have not seen anyone able to offer a recovery image for the ATT variant.

Obviously I wouldn't have posted the comment if I had done what you suggested. I'm not sure how your post helps other than to try and pick a fight which I'm not interested in.

I disagree that I wasn't being helpful though, I suggested you ask someone for a copy of their system image backup. Check through some posts and send out some PMs.

Yup. The system image will be the same as long as it's matched to your firmware/phone variant. All of these root images are just stock images from someone else with superuser added in.

I'm running 8.1 I believe but I'll have to verify when i get home. I am selecting the correct port based on what ports.bat is telling me.

And I don't think I've ever gotten the adb pop up on my phone to let it make changes or whatever it is when I plugged my phone into the computer.

If you are on the PR rom you cannot just reflash the AT&T system.img

Hi,

I can not imagine to express this one more clear. Please READ:

[G4 General] diedemus:
I didnt brick it flashing a system.img but flashing a different system.img causes tons of force closes. Someone would need to modify another system.img to flash it on AT&T/PR. The biggest issue going to PR is the other partitions it flashes/removes. Once I get the new one I can strip out the partitions and they can be reflashed to the correct partitions with the offsets like we do with root..... in theory

There are already some post about this issue in this thread. When you were on another firmware version than the one you flashed, you lose exfat compatibility.

To resolve this, you can either

a) put your memory card into your PC, backup everything to the hard drive, format the card as fat32 and copy your data back to the card.

b) download the firmware version (kdz) that fits the pre-rootet system.img, flash the firmware with the flash tool, then reroot. This way you'll keep exfat compatibility.

b) is better.

I had the same problem with my H815 intl (my firmware was 10b, pre-rooted system.img was 10c). I downloaded and flashed the 10c firmware, rooted and everything's fine.
[G4 General] vegetaleb:
But the thing is that I had 10c before flashing prerooted 10c!!!

I have made a backup img of my system before rooting, can I simply flash it (restore) to transfer all my sd data to my PC, then reflash the prerooted img or I have to use the full tutorial again to reroot? The thing is I am in the mountain and don't have a way to read the sd card but on the phone, I want to back it up on PC and format it fat32

[G4 General] Molius:
I have not managed to gain root+retain exFAT support for SD card for my international H815. Here's what I did and found out, maybe this will be useful for others too:

When you download the kdz file, which has the version 10C and you install it, phone says that it's actually 10B. If I let it update with OTA, phone updates to version 10C.

The same goes for kdz with the name 10D, phone sees it as 10C. No further OTA updates possible as of this moment.

Therefore it's unclear which version of rooted system image to use when rooting: tried the one from OT (said it's for version 10C) and also the one that has been linked as rooted image for version 10D (it's in this thread).

Root works correctly, but lost exFAT support.

Solution, proposed by user asaf400 in page 186 of this thread, did not work for me (flashing boot.img) - I have extracted and flashed boot.img (boot.bin) from all of the kdz's for my phone I could find, but exFAT formatted card still showed up as "empty or incorrectly formatted".

Returning to stock immediately returns exFAT card functionality.

I need my SD card in exFAT format (for bigger movies), so going to FAT32 format is no solution, so I'll have to attempt other root methods.

I'm not very proficient with development for android, so I'm not able to get more details from this situation. However, should someone finds these insights useful, maybe there's a possibility to find out what exactly breaks this exFAT support in this phone.
[G4 General] Fruitgull:
Thanks!

I've done several system.img backups with this method because I was not 100% sure that my usb drivers were installed correctly and my idea was to compare them. All of the backups are the same size but all have different checksums. Is this OK, or should they all be identical?
[G4 General] RenaKunisaki:
Maybe you can use ext2 instead of exFAT?
