Hi,

Can you tell me the alternative way to root the LG Volt 2?

Thanks,

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZTE831:
I can help you if you contact me over skype I can get your phone rooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InvisiChem:
Considering this is an open community, why not just post your method for finding root here like everyone else does. Then we can verify your method through duplication. We can also test your methods using different firmware versions, different scenarios (such as from stock, from partially rooted by one-click methods, from bricked, etc.).

I myself just acquired an LS751. No battery, but that is an easy fix. No FRP, so that will not be an issue. I know the person who originally owned it anyways. This phone has great potential. Please share your method so we may all benefit. We will definitely give you the full credit if your method can be verified or refined to a validated method.

I know I am quiet guys, but I have been around for a very long time in these forums. I remember when I fumbled my way into getting a Motorola Atrix 2 ROM to work on an original Motorola Atrix. I wish now I had published my methods and dealings, for the collaboration of developers in these forums brings about the greatness we see in Dirty Unicorns (Which was the ROM I used, I believe it was AOKP at the time though), Paranoid Android, etc. My experimentation would have accelerated the development process.

Please do share your findings and let us all help in developing and refining methods.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Wildstar34:
I finally was forced to update to android 5.0.1. I updated at work but it failed halfway through and is now in a boot loop. I've tried every solution the internet can provide me. What do I do now? The device IMEI has a limited warranty until 2017. I purchased through swappa. I have original box but no documentation besides the barcode sticker on the side. Will AT&T replace this? It was their update that caused this anyway. Any experiences with this sort of thing please? I dropped a large chunk of change on this paperweight. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
The first thing to do is find a local Best Buy with a Samsung Experience shop. They can reflash the firmware or send the phone in for repairs. This would be the best and easiest option. Most likely, you'll be able to get everything fixed in around an hour max.

BTW, it doesn't matter if the device was purchased from somewhere other than Best Buy!

I'm not sure if ATT will replace the phone if you didn't buy it from ATT. You can contact them to see though. Call them and tell them that you bought the device from Swappa. Though, most likely, they'll turn you away unless they have some sort of business alliance with Swappa.

Do this as a Plan B.

The third option is to get in contact with Swappa. I don't know anything about that service though. Usually in order to claim warranty, you need the device and proof of purchase. If Swappa has an online receipt, or even just an online purchase history, that should work. They most likely would just need some sort of proof that you actually bought the device from or through them. Like I said, I don't know anything about Swappa, so you'll have to contact them to get specifics of what you'd need.

When all else fails, go directly to Samsung. Again, tell them that you got the device from Swappa. Though, this would basically be like the first option, except that it would take longer.

All options except the first one may result in you getting a refurbished replacement. Just an FYI. The only way that Best Buy will give you a refurbished replacement is if they were to send the phone back to Samsung and it was replaced.

PM me if needed!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Wildstar34:
Hey, thanks a lot. This may be the single most helpful forum post I've ever read. I will drive up to BestBuy tomorrow and give it a shot. I wasn't able to flash a AT&T stock rom through Odin, but I guess it's worth a shot. I believe the flash failure was due to the AT&T bootloader being locked?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Welcome!

Most likely something just went wrong during the installation. The bootloader is not a factor in this matter since all ATT Note 4s have it locked and the firmware is meant for this phone.

Now, if you had the phone rooted (permanently), installed a custom kernel and recovery, etc, then the update failure would be 100% explainable. But since you can't do any of that with this phone, then the most likely cause is just "sh1t happened" or the installation was interrupted (like battery died).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] floatingtrees:
Have you tried kies to reflash your phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Wildstar34:
I used Kies, Kies3 and Swap Sync or whatever to do an emergency restore. All of them failed. Kies 3 recognized the phone and was 98% done downloading the firmware and then failed.

Also i am not rooted and never attempted a root (on this phone anyway).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Wildstar34:
Good news. Just got off the phone with AT&T and they have a replacement on the way. Thanks for your help everybody. We have achieved the best case senario for me as i was having problems with the volume buttons anyway :cool:

I would consider this case solved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Awesome! Win-win for you (I guess?)

If the volume keys were messed up, then I wonder if there was some other problems with the phone too. Ones you couldn't see... ones that prevented proper firmware installation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bigblue95z:
So I'm on the original stock firmware (AOCE), was rooted with PingPong (since 4/2015). Phone stopped doing fast charge so I was going to wipe and go back to stock with ODIN for troubleshooting when I also found that the device will not be recognized by PC either when I went to pull files. Drivers are fine, see's the gf's Note 4. Download mode isn't recognized either by PC or by ODIN. When plugged into PC, just get 'Cable Charging'. So I called AT&T and they're going to send another one out..... So how f'd am I? After factory reset, running the AT&T update fails, so I'm guessing there's still stuff on there in the /system partition or other 'protected' partitions. Without the ability to connect to it, are they going to find the root stuff? (completely hypothetical)

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eagleshadow5313390tiger:
Hello!

I have a pair of Atrix 4g phones I have retired to the roles of a mini tablets. Both have un provisioned sim cards and are used only on my home wifi network.

One phone is unlocked and has CWM recovery installed. I saved the OEM recovery before I installed an Aura DL rom. I decided to roll back to the OEM ROM and

it was all down hill from there. Several attempts at recovery have failed using different time stamped recoveries. The recovery shown is the best I could do however

it will not reboot. The phone boots goes to the Motorola Logo and stops (soft brick). All the recovery menus are accessible but that is about it. No USB access of course. I note that an

error during recovery stated "android.secure.img" not found. Is this significant?

I have a Win 10 desktop and and an older Linux laptop available as well as temporary access to a micro SD card if needed. I tried to use Flash_SBF on the Linux laptop to

reflash the OEM Olympus 2.3.6 sbf file but, I get a "cannot access memory" error. I have tried to use RSD Lite but RSD lite will not recognize the Atrix. I am aware of the

Motorola driver issue. I installed the Moto drivers but it did not help. ( Used the OEM cable as well). I have Tegra NVflash available on the Linux machine but I have no instructions.

I do have copies of several recoveries on my PC if that is of value. There are some mentions of Fix Atrix brick files out there but they seem to be gone as this phone is so old.

At least this is an interesting exercise. I would like to overcome this problem.

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkmcguire1:

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ha3ks:
Unsure, Wifi calling may require carrier settings adding to it though that should happen when you insert the SIM Card.

Likely you have gotten a Factory unlocked jobby from somewhere though as all models are G928 the letters after this will help determine where it is from and what region it works with, as an example I'm in the UK and have a SM-G928F ... Thankfully not the Canyonero F model...

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] WhenInRomero:
I'm in the process of selling my H/K One M8 that has been S-Off'd and had an unlocked bootloader. However, once I factory reset it, the phone sits at the HTC screen for 3ish minutes until the setup screen appears and while it stays there I get a V08 Voicemail error. Is there anyway I can make this not happen? I'm hesitant to sell my phone because I'm scared someone will think it's broke, since the setup screen doesn't show up right away.

slowmo will work with stock moto camera app, but there's a little problem. on stock firmware slowmo video is recorded at 120fps and runs at 15 fps (1/8 speed ) , and by this method it will record video at 120fps but it will run it at 30fps ( 1/4 speed ). atleast it's better than having nothing. :D

[Blu Pure XL] chrisrotolo:
Let's get the ball rolling with this thing... I am new to blu

Search shows SP Flash tool as a main flash tool.

I expect to get root with towel root or kingroot.

If we do acquire root, the next step is to dump a stock ROM, I haven't done much dev. since jellybean, but hopefully we could map partitions (important), and do a raw dump (.img) backup, etc. A secure kernel, could prevent that, I think. If we are able to make or acquire a stock ROM, we have something to fall back on. There's always hope, they will allow unlock of bootloader from developer options in settings, or fastboot oem unlock. It looks like quite a few other blu devices have been unlocked. If worst came to worst, I'm sure we could pony up some donations to get this device into a developers hands to help.

Once we get bootloader unlocked, all we need is a custom recovery, and some source code bits, and its off to the builds, we hope!

Please share any beginning steps to help get things moving here....

No luck with either of those. I've tried a lot of "one-click" apks and none of them work. It looks like I'm going to have to dig out an old desktop from my basement and make myself a Windows machine (urgh!!). I agree, Sp Flash Tools and MK Droid Tools look like a good place to start.

You kernel messages suggest you have the Allview version... Is it possible that software or partitioning differences in the default load of the Allview vs. the Blu may make a difference in whether the root apps work?

So it could be too soon to assume that the current rooting apps won't work on the Blu phone just because they don't work on the Allview.That is, if Blue has their own software stack they install that is different than the Allview...

Rooting from PC failed

I now have a Windows 7 machine running so I've tried a couple of root from pc apps.

Drivers http://androidxda.com/download-gionee-usb-drivers

I installed the Gionee E8 drivers from here successfully - or so Windows said.

Root Genius v2.4.1 http://androidxda.com/download-root-genius-application

First ticked "USB debugging" under "Developer options" on phone. Ran Root Genius and it found the phone first time. Click on "Allow Computer" box that pops up on phone. Root Genius started, got to a couple of % and then crashed. Rebooted PC, clicked on "Revoke USB debugging authorisation" for a clean start and tried again. Same result; click "Allow computer", start program and crash. Tried a couple more times with same result.

iRoot v1.8.5 http://androidxda.com/download-iroot-application-all-versions

Used same procedures as with Root Genius. iRoot started, found the phone, went all the way though it's operations before reporting that rooting failed (i.e. it did not crash). Retried a couple of times with the same result.

The only plus is that the driver I used appears to be OK for Windows 7 at least (both programs found the phone).

Later I tried Kingo Root http://androidxda.com/root-android-device-using-kingo-root

It couldn't find the phone using the driver I previously used or it's own driver, although the "Allow computer" box popped up on the phone both times
[Blu Pure XL] clipcarl:
Cool... It's good to test this stuff. More information is always a good thing.

BUT, since the software / partitions of the Blu Pure XL phone will almost certainly be different than the Allview phone you have your tests really don't really tell us anything about the Pure XL for certain. The hardware may be exactly the same (or there may be differences in the radios) but if the software and / or partition layout is different then what works on your phone may not work on the Pure XL and vice versa.

So I'd request that you keep posting your useful information... BUT that you clearly post that you don't actually have a Blu Pure XL but the Allview phone so you don't confuse people. Yes, they may be based on the same hardware but that does not make them exactly the same as one another. For example, there are different versions of the LG G4 and they all have pretty much the same hardware but they can't all use the same ROMS or the same rooting techniques.

So what you are posting helps because more data is better, but is not definitive for the Pure XL because your phone is NOT a Pure XL.

Thanks,

Carl
[Blu Pure XL] xathras:
Thanks Carl, you're quite right of course. I'll check back in a couple of weeks once you guys have actually got your hands on some genuine Blu. When you do these adb tools (http://androidxda.com/download-best-android-adb-driver) and MTK Droid Tools worked v2.5.3 work on my Allview.
[Blu Pure XL] clipcarl:
Please don't stop posting your test results! Just let people here know they're for the Allview and thus may not be the same as what would happen on the Pure XL. But it's also quite possible that your phone is exactly the same with the same software and layout just with cosmetic changes. We just don't know yet. It's also possible that your phone could be flashed to be exactly the same as the Pure XL even if it's not out of the box. In any case it's definitely useful information you are providing!

[MENTION=4015860]xathras[/MENTION] - Have you tried flashing SuperSU from recovery or otherwise injecting root from a recovery package?

http://www.recovery-mode.com/android/gionee-elife-e8.html
[Blu Pure XL] xathras:
Flashing SU from recovery fails and although I haven't tried the other option I'm fairly sure that that would fail too, due to /system being a secure read only partition. It is going to take someone with the necessary skills to extract boot.img, make the needed changes and re-packing it. I've seen a webpage for a china wholesaler for the Gionne version of this phone who offers an "unlock and root" option for $2.99 per device, so it must be doable.
