The only way to use xposed is thru root, right? I miss xposed!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] anticloud:
Hey, throwing a thought out there.

There is temporary root, in some cases, and for now, that may be good enough, yes.

So, for example, gain temp root, install apps or make mods which can run unrooted, for example, let's say I want to enable call recording. well, that's just a CSC entry yes? do temp root, make the mod, reboot, done... no longer rooted, but the mod remains the same...

This does not solve all problems, like an app that requires it full time, but for mods it's ok.

on the other hand - if you can't beat em, join em. if temp root is achievable, let it be your frend.

Say we build a a different temp root app, that temp roots as the device starts, well, ok, then have it be the first run app, gets temp root, then just use the phone as normal, like it's rooted... t'would be like safe strap, where it's not a complete solution, but doable.

thoughts?

[General Questions and Answers] wingzeroismine:
Hello everyone,

I figured I'd give a forum thread a shot, this phone needs some XDA love!

I have an LG Escape 2 (H443) on AT&T, its currently running 5.0.2 H44310k and is offering an OTA to 5.1.1 H44311W but when I reboot to flash the update it gives error 0x112500.

Next it will reboot and display "This device is suspected in rooting. Software update is not available for rooted device."

That message appears to be very common with LG phones, but none of the solutions mentioned for other phones have worked.

I've tried the following:

LGMobile Support Tool and LG PC Suite, neither say there is an update.

Full unroot from SuperSU and factory reset.

I didn't remove any stock APKs, most of the bloat was disabled in the Apps tab but not removed. Due to how obscure this phone is there was no chance of a custom recovery or rom to flash to it, hell, I can't even find the stock rom to use with any of the various flashing tools.

Is there any potential locations for a log file? Does anyone know what exactly LG looks for to determine if the device was rooted?
[General Questions and Answers] GuestK0087:
Your best bet, would be to flash the stock firmware if it's available. Using the unroot features of SuperSU doesn't fully remove all traces of root.
[General Questions and Answers] wingzeroismine:
Yeah thats the unfortunate thing, I haven't found it anywhere, since its such a low end obscure phone it seems like its just ignored.

With the new Moto G finally out I'll probably switch to the 2GB version of that, 1GB on this phone did NOT perform well, things like Music and Maps open would close Music within 10-15 minutes of using Maps, had to root and use RAM Manager to force better multitasking, which also made switching between apps or launching new ones slow to a crawl after a couple days.

Kinda wish I didn't burn $180 on this, and then another $220 on the Moto G but that's the price to pay for not wanting a giant phone.
[General Questions and Answers] ZeRo2o9:
did you ever find it? I also need it for a friends phone, he tried rooting it and now its stuck on the lg boot logo, if you have the firmware let me know!
[General Questions and Answers] wingzeroismine:
No I never found it. But, when its stuck on the logo like that... keep retrying the root in fastboot mode, I've rerooted mine several times now and it getting stuck isn't a big deal, just keep retrying the shell script until it boots. You *may* have slightly better luck if you remove any SD cards.
[General Questions and Answers] ChrimsonReign:
unsoft brick h334

Does anybody have a way to undo the soft brick for the LG H443? Mine will load to the at&t screen, but it gets stuck there and won't pass it. These are the steps I followed to try and root it were called "ONE CLICK SCRIPT TO ROOT LG ESCAPE2 H443" It will still load into download mode. Is there a compatible clockwork mod? What shell script did you use to reboot it? Is there any other rom I can flash to make it work again? Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] wingzeroismine:
When it gets stuck on the boot logo after attempting to root it, keep retrying the root until it finally boots. I've had it take anywhere from 2-3 tries, to over an hour, but it will eventually work.

While we are getting root access, we aren't unlocking the bootloader, so there won't be any TWRP or CWM support.

I'm not using any scripts to reboot it, if its stuck just pull the battery and unplug the USB cable.
[General Questions and Answers] ChrimsonReign:
soft bricked

Thank you! I shall keep trying to root it. I have tried several times so far, but it still gets stuck at the at&t logo. I saw a comment on the tutorial I used to attempt rooting my phone that says "ATT just pushed a software update as of July 9, 2015. Both of these tools will softbrick your phone now." I can still get it to load into firmware update/download mode. That's it though. Is there any way I can just restore it to the way it was before? I can't find it's original firmware for it anywheres. Any advice you have to give is appreciated. Is there a way I can up your thanks meter? Because I'd totally do that. If I could.
[General Questions and Answers] wingzeroismine:
Well you can try to boot into factory reset mode, which I just found working directions for.

With the phone off press and hold power + volume down

When you see the LG logo release BOTH buttons for 1 second and then press and hold both of them again

It should ask if you want to factory reset.
[General Questions and Answers] ChrimsonReign:
h443

I tried it, and it let me factory reset, but now instead of freezing at the AT&T symbol, it freezes at the LG logo. It will still let me factory reset and go into download mode. Never loads passed the LG logo (Splash screen maybe?) I guess that's progress of sorts? Thanks for the help!
[General Questions and Answers] polfrank:
Maybe, you could try flashing the firmware for LG H440n, which is available. But now that I think again, it may not let you proceed with the installation, because it may consider the two devices different.

Anyway, this could be a temporary solution until the h443 firmware is released..
[General Questions and Answers] ChrimsonReign:
Thanks! I'll try it out. If I were to buy another H443, would it be possible to copy the firmware off of it, or somehow mirror it exactly onto the broken one?
[General Questions and Answers] aybarrap1:
I would like to know this as well. I would like to do so before I attempt any root method.
[General Questions and Answers] ChrimsonReign:
H443

UPDATE: I tried flashing the H440n firmware, it didn't work, quite the opposite in fact. My phone is now hard bricked, and doesn't respond to the attempt to power it on, or to being plugged in to charge. When I plug it in to my computer, instead of the normal noise it makes to indicate that a device is connected, it makes three lower beeps I've never heard it make before. So don't try that, it doesn't work. If anyone does know a way to fix it (although I find that highly unlikely) feel free to let me know. If anyone knows a way to copy firmware from a working phone to use on a different phone, I'd also like to know about that, too.
[General Questions and Answers] wingzeroismine:
Since you can't get it to boot into any mode I can't think of any way to recover it....

I also don't know of any way to capture / restore the rom as there is no TWRP or CWM or bootloader unlock that I'm aware of for this phone. And to make matters worse, none of the LG restore tools seem to be usable on this phone either....
[General Questions and Answers] polfrank:
Whaaat? If it was to behave like this, did LG Flash tool let you install it with no problems at all?

Damn, why won't they just release the h443 software....

All I know is you can backup and restore boot.img and recovery.img from within the rom with flashify. but only within the rom :/

According to those, block 35 is the system partition, 18 is boot, and 19 is recovery, so I'm dumping those (dunno if they will all be of value to anyone, they are only 24MB). Are there any other partitions that I should grab?

System.img, boot.bin, recovery.bin
[General Questions and Answers] DementedSnake:
Do those images work? Has anyone tried them in their own devices yet? I downloaded them, but I'm shy about flashing them sight-unseen. I may or may not have softbricked an Escape2 already trying to root it. I had to mail it off and wait for a replacement...

My new phone is actually the old software version. It's an H44310K. My old one came as an H44311W, I think. That was the one that died tragically. As far as I can tell, I lucked out and got the previous version that was rootable.

For anyone who has successfully rooted their LG Escape2, what did you use to do it? I've seen the "One Click Script to Root LG Escape2 H443" tutorial, and I've also seen the Kingo rooter something-or-other.

EDIT: I've got the AT&T version of the phone, if that matters. (Are they the only carrier for it?)

EDIT2: Also, wingzeroismine, even if those don't work, thank you. You are awesome for starting a thread asking for help, and then ending up being the one sharing the most valuable info and software. Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] wingzeroismine:
From what I understand the H443 is AT&T exclusive, its matching sister phone the H440 "LG Spirit" is a Sprint exclusive.

The ROM on my phone is H44310K. I rooted it about a week after it launched and have been ineligible for the OTA to 5.1 (hence the reason I started this thread initially).

I sorta doubt the recovery or boot partitions are going to do much, they are only 24MB, they didn't have a known file system so I named them .bin. I've opened the system.img file and it does look like the valid filesystem.

Do keep in mind that this wouldn't be considered a "Pure, Clean, Sacred" whatever ROM. I answered as few questions as possible to get into the settings from a fresh factory reset, enable debug mode, perform the root, then dump the ROM, so it should in theory be rooted (and I used Root Explorer too, so that may be installed in it). But I hope one of the people with bricked phones can please flash it and let us know what happens.

I used this guide on XDA, I've never been a fan of one clicks http://xdaforums.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772

And as I've said earlier, I've done some resets and reroots and have had it stuck at the AT&T logo, returning to download mode and running the script again (possibly repeatedly) eventually gets it booting up again, I also believe I've noticed greater success with the SD card removed.
[General Questions and Answers] DementedSnake:
Good news. After quadruple-checking everything, I attempted another rooting of my device. It worked flawlessly. I am never going to upgrade it, and am in fact going to disable and block every auto updater I can find.

All I wanted root for was a firewall, an ad blocker, the ability to seamlessly use things like Samba, and the ability to disallow bloatware and spyware from running automatically 24/7. I essentially just wanted peace of mind and the ability to administer my mobile computer like I can my desktop computer. For these simple things, I bricked a phone and had to order a replacement, then risked bricking that one too.

I want to save up and get a really nice Ubuntu phone when they come out with one. For now though, my LG Escape2 (H44310k) will do just fine for a year or so.

Thank you for the help and for pioneering this device on XDA.

If there's any testing or anything that I can do to help out with development of this device, then let me know. I'm fine with factory resets for the sake of aiding development. Just keep in mind that this is my only smartphone, so I won't be too risky with it. I do keep a backup feature phone for emergencies though.

Hi,

I am having the same issue of being stuck at the startup logo after rooting with the 1 click root guide.

When you say you need to keep trying to root the phone, do you keep using the 1 click root program?

The 1 click root program keeps saying waiting for device when I plug the phone stuck at the logo. I have also tried pluging the phone in download mode where it displays the "firmware update" symbol to no avail. Is that what you mean with fastboot?

Also, I have tried hard resetting the phone and it gives me the option to reset and when I proceed it boots to the android green robot and then it gets stuck a the LG logo again.

Please help, I need a working phone for work asap and this was a temp phone AT&T sent me while LG repairs my G3's. That will take at least a couple of weeks.

Thanks a lot!!

I have a H443 that I rooted and now is stuck at the LG boot screen. I have tried all the solutions listed on various sites, but am unable to get fastboot mode , so it seems that I am stuck. I do have download mode, but it seems there is no flashable software available.

I have found the H443 source code on LG's website. Could this be used to fix our phones? I read the text file in the download, and I know nothing about building roms, etc.....

It is in a zip file that has " .tar.gz" files

So android.acore was FCing, so i went to TWRP and formated everyrhing and installed the ROM again. The rom doesn't booted up anymore, and i don't have a PC to save my phone, there is any way to save it without a PC?

You'll have to restore stock 4.4.4, OTA update to 5.0.2, and then install custom 5.1.1 ROM.

You'll also need to make sure you update the bootloader, if you haven't done so already.
