[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catamaran_:
Hi guys, the times has come for me to open up my own account - I screwed up. I hope this is the right sub forum and apologize if it is not.

LG G2 Germany, formerly: TWRP recovery, Paranoid Android 5.1.1

Loved the rom but there were some issues like the screen turning off and on randomly, wouldn't accept pin right away, so I decided to go for CM 12.1.

Booted into recovery, factory wiped, tried to flash the .zip, but neither the rom nor the gapps would even begin to flash. It just said error.

Went crazy, tried some other CM versions, none of them worked. I've never had this issue before, when I flashed PA it all went just peachy.

Went even crazier and I can't really remember what I did in my panic spiral, but I somehow ended up with a soft-bricked phone. Managed to re-install the LG firmware .kdz, however, only the 4.2 one worked (4.4 gave me a bootloop.)

Now, getting this bad boy rooted and ready to flash custom roms is somewhat of a problem. I managed to get it into recovery though (after some issues with the recovery image), but flashing CM still won't work. Same error as before. I think there may be something wrong with the recovery image. I still had the image .apk from the first time I rooted my phone (also with 4.2) and it worked just fine so I figured I'd just use it again and do it like I did it last time. However, I am able to get into recovery mode. I've tried ClockworkMod and TWRP, but as a result of my panicking, it's just really a big ol' mess right now. I hope I've included all the info needed.

Please help, I'm actually lost. :o

Are you flashing the latest TWRP which is 2.8.7.1?

http://blastagator.ddns.net/twrp.html
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catamaran_:
Hey, thanks for replying. At the moment it only boots into recovery, unfortunately. ADB does not work, even after re-installing the usb drivers. My computer recognizes the device now though, but I can't get any files onto that thing at the moment.

Edit: It's not the latest TWRP
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
If you install the latest TWRP, you may be able to boot into TWRP and copy over a ROM to flash.

[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Pu$$nBooT$:
still nothing for the t235y ?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Nope. Only the t235 has been released and you absolutely cannot flash another model's firmware. Be patient they only just started rolling out 7.0 updates
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Ayepocalypse:
How different is the LTE cpu different from the wifi models? I'm worried the t230 devices are not good enough for lollipop.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] pckloss@gmail.com:
Root?

Anyone tried it yet? Is it rootable?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Tel864:
There's probably no difference in the processer, it's should be the Samsung 1.2gHz in the LTE.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Lol no, not even close. The T235 has an Exynos chipset, the T230 has a Marvell chipset. They're completely different
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Belciu:
I tried but no luck, after flashing I got bootloop. It seems that android 5.1.1 is still not rootable.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
From what I saw from the 8.0 models, because you've got lollipop 5.1.1 and not 5.0.x, you cannot just root by flashing TWRP and then in TWRP flashing the superSU zip like usual. There is something new in the security measures of the 5.1.1 kernel that causes a boot loop if you try this. I say this because the 10.1 models, which got 5.0.2, could root like I just described but the 8.0 models, which got 5.1.1, could not.

Therefore, it seems that someone will have to make a modified rootable kernel, in a similar manner to what moonbutt74 did for the 8.0 models. Check out his thread here to see what I mean
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] mac231us:
Can one add su binary in the xbin..I recall trying to do that before (then chmod) but mounting linux to get it to run was difficult and I ended up making mistakes and accidentally erased my disk (never tried again-lol) (that was for Huawei x2)

so basically inject root into the system.img itself and then flash through odin
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thelous:
Is it safe to just install TWRP (not flash anything in it) and press reboot?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] mac231us:
I don't think twrp recovery is same..am no expert maybe should not be commenting but better be safe
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] mac231us:
I used the recovery (2.8.0.1 or is it 2.8.1.0?...anyway you will see it in one of the threads ..it is for 235 and 235y both) to deodex the rom (no root but deodexed!)..outlined procedure for deodexing on another post somewhere in maybe another thread and also t715 forum maybe (have both devices currently)

the recovery does not stick after boot and have to reodin the twrp each time need to go to recovery...but also made twrp backup which restores correctly

Edit... Also flashed csc folder XML files with Samsung command lines that enable features like auto data on off for missing and receive.. Normally needed root for that or at least that is how I altered files in csc folder within system folder

Also modified build prop for Wi-Fi scan... Just not figured out fonts as font settings force closes when trying to change font after flashing new fonts.. Default font is in framework so cannot change that now... Will also try to remove unwanted apps in system data folder by putting appropriate lines in flashable zip (not sure about this though).. So mostly getting there without root :)

EDIT2

With everything except data and preload from this 'modded' LL rom (by flashing zips to achieve certain changes like other.xml in csc folder inside system etc) and then advanced restore data and preload from a KK nandroid, I managed to get the font I want and retain the LL mods I did through flashing the zips.

Noticed LL ROM has native call recording not there in KK...so no need for xposed for that

(EDIT..CALL RECORDING only comes on and is seen in native call dialer menu upon de-odexing..for whatever reason..regardless of country or region build-have tried 2 of them)

just missing screenshot and advanced reboot (which need root but then there is no custom recovery as it needs to be reinstalled each time so advanced reboot is useless as of now anyway for LL-stock recovery flashes on each reboot)

[Galaxy S6 General] UltraGamerHD:
Hi

/* I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE *\

/* PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK *\

This method will allow you to root your S6 on 5.1.1 with UniKernel (NO KNOX TRIPPED).

Engineering Bootloader for SM-G920F 5.0.2: Link removed

UniKernel: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/sams...d-development/kernel-stockmod-kernel-t3100395

1. Install Samsung USB Drivers if necessary.

2. Put phone into download mode. Power phone off then press and hold Volume down, home and power keys at same time until you see warning screen then let go and hit volume up one time.

3. Plug phone in and wait for drivers to install if necessary.

4. Open odin you should now see phone’s modem port highlighted in blue.

5. Click on BL tab and select correct sboot.bin that you downloaded above. Then click start.

6. When phone comes back on power off again and put into download mode.

7. Open odin again and this time select AP tab and select UniKernel file and click start.

8. That is it!!! When it comes back on phone will be rooted. To verify that knox has not been tripped go back to download mode and it should still say KNOX WARRANTY: 0 (0X0000)

NOTE: ITS POSSIBLE THAT THE FINGERPRINT SCANNER MAY NOT WORK, SO IF YOU CAN LIVE WITHOUT IT USE THIS METHOD OTHERWISE DONT.
[Galaxy S6 General] Horridge:
Very interesting, definitely going to a keep an eye on this one. I'm not brave enough to be the first to try though!
[Galaxy S6 General] dzontra83:
You will definitely not be the firts to try this. It is an old guide, the first one was on the g925f model thread. I rooted my galaxy s6 g920f this way, and i didnt trip knox. I do not use fingerprint, so i dont care it is not working. Definitely try this.
[Galaxy S6 General] godutch:
could you try the fingerprint scanner?
[Galaxy S6 General] dzontra83:
It is not working.
[Galaxy S6 General] dogkanos:
Does anyone know if I restore to factory after this root method, will the finger print work again?
[Galaxy S6 General] garf02:
No, is necessary flash a stock firmware with ODIN.
[Galaxy S6 General] ZephCr:
Please say this works for AT&T variant on OF4
[Galaxy S6 General] sunbucks:
[MENTION=5395179]UltraGamerHD[/MENTION] Will you build the needed files for other Samsungphones like SM-G900F, too ?

[Galaxy S6 General] UltraGamerHD:
I didn't build the files AT ALL. This was leaked and I obtained this from Reddit.
[Galaxy S6 General] FaserF:
WOW, great! Sadly that I have already tripped it :(
[Galaxy S6 General] slater_g:
I'm new to Galaxy's, coming from Nexus. Is is possible with this bootloader to install a custom rom without tripping Knox? Or is it just for rooting the stock rom?
[Galaxy S6 General] ripv2:
If i'm not mistaken, flashing custom recoveries or ROM's will trip knox no matter what. You can look into Flashfire by Chainfire for a better idea of a alternative .
[Galaxy S6 General] dzontra83:
You are mistaken, flashing any custom rom will not trip knox as long as you are on engeneering bootloader. I change roms a lot, my knox is still at 0x0, just keep the bootloader.
[Galaxy S6 General] ripv2:
Oh, my fault. I was confused for something else..... Good to know tho.
[Galaxy S6 General] zal91:
Think this would flash onto a G890A OR does anyone have an ENG SBOOT for this device?
[Galaxy S6 General] ZephCr:
Will this work on AT&T variant??

This "engineering bootloader" ... what is it, a special bootloader for internal Samsung devs?

Does anyone else experience this problem? I am on latest oxygen 2.1, tried with stock kernel and latest ak kernel and have xposed with few modules.

I have had facebook version 46 which had worked perfectly fine until the v47 update from the playstore..which had completely messed the app up. A TBU restore of my previous v46 does the same now...

A clean flash has been done and still problems persist..anyone know of a fix?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanbmw51:
I have a similar issue though it lets me log in and read my feed but when I try to update status it closes on me. So now I've uninstalled the app and logged in through chrome (which has a similar ui appearance as the app does) and then I made a home screen short cut for my news feed. So its not a lot different than having the actual app. Honestly might be better for performance overall since the app is kind of a data/battery hog.

But I guess Ill ask if you have the issue with duplicate sms threads in Google messenger app. I had to switch to hangouts which works but just wondering if you have the issue and/or a fix.

I am also stock 2.1 but on stock kernel. Unrooted and locked bootloader.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gads83:

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aziz981:

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munchee:
The latest facebook requires new library files which were missing in OP2. Not sure why, but I was able to get it to work by copying the missing files from another lollipop phone (non OP2) Because the missing files are part of system library, to do this you need rooted phone on both where you copied the files from and on your OP2.

Try this, see if it helps. This works for me.

1. Find another rooted lollipop phone where FB works

2. Use file explorer on that phone, navigate to /data/app/com.facebook.katana-1/lib/arm

3. Copy these 2 files out somewhere where you can copy over to your OP2

libnative_omnistore_client_common_flatbuffers_flatbuffers-diff.so

libnative_omnistore_client_protocol_loopback_loopback.so

4. Copy those 2 files to your OP2 on the same location. I believe those 2 files won't exist in OP2

5. Launch FB

Someone else looked into the FB apk, and the 2 so files I listed above is are in the apk, so if you don't have a 2nd phone, I think you can also extract those 2 files from the apk and copied it over manually.

Hope that works for you
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theberge43:
Can someone upload those files, or are they related to our accounts ?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMustain:
It worked for me on one OP2 but not on another. Weird. In fact this 2nd OP2 had 70 files in arm folder compared to 72 in 1st (after adding your 2 files). I copy pasted all files saying no to overwrite so all 72 files were present. Still FB crashes. Tough to explain.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maximosm:
Install version 42 and then login in Facebook go for a while in Facebook, then update from Google play and worked for me.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munchee:
I am not sure actually. From the nature of the file, I believe they don't contain any account information, but again, I am not certain. I think the safest way would be to download the apk, extract those files before installing if you want to upload it.

I extracted these 2 file from FB 48.0.0.28.137 apk downloaded from apkmirror if you want to try these.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munchee:
Oh, that is really weird. Do you have the exact same version of Oxygen OS on both OP2 and Facebook? The .so are library files, so I assume they're version sensitive.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theberge43:
Tried with the latest Beta ... not working for me.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMustain:
Absolutely. Oxygen OS 2.1.0 and same version of FB. That's what stumps me. And why did one device have 70 files in arm folder and the other 68 before I started pasting the 2 files in question..
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munchee:
Hmm, I looked at the logcat o mine and it pointed me to the flatbuffer lib, which led me to the copy path. Wish I can help more, but I am confused as you are too right now.

BTW, what version is "latest beta"?

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

Now that's odd. Did you happen to have a logcat perhaps? I assume you had to use root to copy, so permission shouldn't be an issue. I might play around when I get a chance.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithleyson:
