If I update my phone (H815T) with the LG Bridge, will I still be able to use this method to root, using all of the same commands and tools?

Edit: Yeah, seems to have worked. It seems like LG Bridge didn't care that I was rooted, it just updated the phone.

After that, I just had to repeat the rooting process. There was some weirdness with the autoroot script missing a folder, but I was able to look at the scrip and figure out what was going wrong.

No rooting issues here with VS986 hardware and VS98611A software

Worked great! Thank you for the thorough instructions. My only initial concern was that my own phone's system.img backup was 4.18 GB vs pre-rooted vs98611a.img of 4.62. Turned out a none issue. No problems with EXT32 external SD card either as with another available root method.

Thank you!!

[MENTION=4545681]hackarchive[/MENTION] if I had a hat on I would take it off for you. Thanks for this guide. I kept putting it off due to the amount of reading, but the process is actually very easy.

For Windows 10 users: If your device doesn't want to copy/create the system image, try a different USB port or reinstall the drivers.

My cmd prompt kept returning the # too quickly. I had just installed the drivers for the KDZ method (returned to stock and upgraded) but found reinstalling the same drivers changed the device name in Device Manager and then the process worked seamlessly.

Thanks again.

Now on H815P v10g rooted

4-Reboot into Ubuntu.

5--Here open a terminal.

6--Gain root access on Ubuntu by typing or copy and paste sudo -i

can somone explain to me what this means? i downloaded an UBUNTU ios and universal USB installer

how do i reboot into ubuntu ?
[G4 General] Paxi648:
If you installed Ubuntu onto a USB drive, plug it in and restart your computer. Before booting into the operating system you should have a few seconds to open a boot menu (Could be F8, depends on your Mainboard and should be displayed anyways). You can then select the drive to boot from. In this case select your USB drive. If you can't get into the boot menu you can also edit your boot priority in your BIOS / UEFI settings (Could be F2 or Del, also depending on your Mainboard).

[G4 General] Jwtiyar:
thank you , but really i cant understand this instruction :)

its been 6 years iam rooting samsung and htc devices i never see complicated instruction like this :)
[G4 General] Molius:
It's not hard at all really. Just main 4 steps:

1. You extract your system image.

2. You prepare USB with ubuntu.

3. You boot ubuntu and inject root into your own system image.

4. You put the rooted system image back into your phone.

And you have a rooted phone.

Yes, it's more complicated than some of the other root methods (for other phones), but at least you don't need to unlock bootloader/void your warranty.
[G4 General] kingshmaka:
Has anyone gotten encryption working after rooting? Trying to enable encryption just results in being stuck at the boot screen before it starts encrypting, and the only way to get out is take out the battery. Then it just boots as normal.

I'm running the H815 USA variant, but am now on v10c-EUR-XX and rooted.
[G4 General] Sturmovik:
Just to make it clear, I'm on ATT H810 10l and If I ever need to take an OTA update, I can just flash my own system.img again and then I can take an OTA? And I can also take OTAs with SuperSU?

Thanks.
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
If you want to update with an OTA, just remove root (using SuperSU) then the OTA will install.

My SD card seems to work every other boot or so. One time it works, next time it says BLANK SD CARD, after rooting using low effort root. I hope this manual method will work.
[G4 General] Jwtiyar:
now i dont have ubuntu .

but i dont understand 4 and 6 in Step 1 .
[G4 General] Makster:
Step 1 is done in Windows, it has nothing to do with Ubuntu.

In 1/4 you identify the USB port to which your phone is connected.

In 1/6 you connect to the phone through that port, in order to send commands to the phone using the Send_Command.exe program. You need that to be able to pull the system image out.

The actual root injection into that image is what happens in Ubuntu in Step 2.

Then in Step 3 you are back to Windows, where you connect the phone back to that USB port and then use Send_Command.exe again, this time to push the now-rooted system image back into the phone. You are basically overlaying this modified image on top of the one that's on the phone from LG.
[G4 General] hubrisnxs:
Guys, I've tried to find the adb/Send command that will grab the stock system.img file and transfer to the internal root directory. The linked threads do not currently seem to include this, the only thing I'm missing. Ubuntu is easy, getting the att Lg g4 H810l img file so I can inject root, however, appears to have been edited.

Can someone please paste the command? In return, I'd be happy to post the system.img file for those of us desperately needing root.

Danke,

[G4 General] antus:
When I initially rooted my Optus H185T on 10c I did not do anything to disable OTA - I wanted to be advised of updates and see what happens.

The results? I was alerted that on OTA to 10h was available last night.

I attempted to install without unrooting, and the task failed at 30%. The phone rebooted and told me "software update for rooting device is not available" :D

So, being an 815T and having kept a stock system.img on the phone I used download mode to restore stock and unroot:

dd if=/data/media/0/system.img bs=8192 seek=55296 count=529920 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

Then, retried the OTA, which applied successfully.

As is clear from other posts the send_command.exe backdoor is still open in 10H and I was able to use the method in this post to re-root. It looks like the 10H OTA also updated the AP app and baseband firmware. I have also confirmed with the lookout tool that the stagefright vulnerability has been closed (it was showing vulnerable on 10c prior to the update). Wins all round! :D

[G4 General] Hotfingers:
OK, so this is the quckest and easiest way I know of getting into Linux: -

There's a tool called "gParted" (google it). It's actually for fixing your hard-drive partitions, but that's not important here.

From inside windows, You can download a gParted ISO. You also need another windows tool called "Rufus".

Use Rufus to create a bootable USB stick with the gParted ISO.

Now you have Linux on a stick, boot with the stick to get into Linux.

This is the main task done - you can now boot into Linux.

It has a windows-like interface, so you can find the "shell" icon easily (kind of like the command prompt).

The last trick is finding out how to access your c drive from the USB.

This is not so obvious if you're not used to Linux (or android funny enough), but it's something you can google to get the details.
[G4 General] DsturbD:
while gParted is lighter and will boot up quicker, LinuxMint or Ubuntu is much easier for someone who has never used Linux before. LinuxMint looks and feels very much "window-ish" and you will have no issues finding your Windows C drive or any other drive you may have where you keep your files and the command line tool is right on the main menu. just my 2 cents :)

get LinuxMint here

"Open the USB settings screen on your phone. Change USB from AP to CP. And USB settings from MTP + ADB to RNDIS + DM + Modem mode (after you have finished making edits in your phone's memory, remember to revert the original settings in this screen).

This is the hardest part of this mod as the USB setting menu is usually hidden and the method to access it is slightly different on some brands. For the S5, you can open it by dialing *#0808# . Other phones may use *#7284# , *#8778# , *#*#8778#*#* , ##3424# or something else entirely. "

I have searched following folders while playing the video:

/data/data/[app] - could not find anything useful, only few MBs total (the video is 20 minutes long)

/data/media/0/android/data/[app]/cache - only few files, few KBs

/data/app/[app] - nothing but base.apk and lib folder

/sdcard - all folders here are irrelevant to the app

So where else could it be?

Am I wrong from the first place? Can it stream without saving on local device at all?
