[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robosapiens:
Hi, probably you trying to install oldest firmware 5.0.1, download the latest firmware and try again. You are with 5.1, right? This error on odin happens, because you cannot downgrade the firmware. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpdediego:
I think you can not downgrade even if it is the same Android version.

If it detects you are on a newer bootloader it will give you that error.

What I belive you can do is to extract the bootloader (sboot) and modem from the .tar file and flash ONLY the system through Odin.

Don't know exactly how to do that because I haven't done it but I think that would do; you will have to search and read my friend.

You will have the stock firmware but with latest bootloader and modem.

Hope this helps.

Note: As far as I know this will work if its the same Andorid version; you can not have Android 5.0.2 with 5.1.1 bootloader.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raj_p:
Hi,

I have tried what you said, but no succes. The firmware was already recovered with smart switch so the bootloader is the latest.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpdediego:
But did you try to flash without the bootloader and modem?

I've never had it happen, but I have heard of it. It must be either a build issue or a bad flash. Try again with a different build, and make a full wipe, (system, caches,and data). Or try the same build with a full wipe. I bet it will work.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nadeox1:
Hello XDA,

I got an LG G4 gifted, and as one of the first things I want to do is to root it. However I seem to have quite some difficulties with it.

My previous phone was a Nexus 4, and I simply rooted with 'Nexus Root Toolkit'.

For this phone there appears to be many, different ways to do that.

First thing I need to be sure is what exact model my G4 is.

In 'Phone Info > Hardware' it simply says H815. In the LG Mobile Support Tool it says H815B (Which gives no result on Google). The phone is from Germany if it helps.

Second thing is that it says I can update to SW version v10c. But when I download the update, it simply throws a 'Invalid Software Package' error at the end of it. The LG Mobile Support Tool says I have no update avalaible instead.

Third thing is that I don't remember if I have to unlock the bootloader to root my phone (did that only once on my N4, forgot if it's needed). If yes, can somebody link me to the appropriate page? (I've read around LG itself released a tool to unlock that?) (Also, I will loose all my data IIRC?)

Last thing, obviously, the most appropriate Root guide for my model. I've read many of them, one requires you to have linux on your PC (Which is a nope), others mentions '10c' (which I suppose is the update I'm unable to get). So far I got myself only very confused. (Root voids warranty? IIRC LG still covers phone with root?)

Thanks in advanced for your help :)

EDIT: Currently trying with LG Bridge software, seems to work and says my phone is H81520A (So I suppose the part after the device code is the 'SW Version' ?).

EDIT2: Apparently updating with that software worked. Now on v10c (Marshmallow 6.0 - Unless there are other updates waiting)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X0rzist:
You can indentify your model by adding your IMEI to the following link: csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=

(look for the field buyer)

The unlock process is described in this thread.

But don't fash SuperSu If you are on Android 6.0, because it will fail to boot. First flash an custom kernel (like this) and then SuperSu.

If you're unable to unlock the bootloader, then there is no possibilty to get root on Android 6.0.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nadeox1:
Thanks. It says DEU at the buyer line.

D(eutschland)EU(Europe) I suppose.

And thanks for the link. In the kernel page it says 'download 20a or 20b? What's that number? So I need a Kernel that inclused SuperSU as flashing it on its own will cause that problem in few words?

What about this? http://xdaforums.com/g4/development/repack-kernel-root-android-6-0-t3232387

From what it seems, it's a custom kernel + root. Would I still need to unlock the bootloader? Perhaps using the 'LG Site' section from the thread you linked (http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-root-t3128241)?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X0rzist:
The software versions are quite strange on lg phones. 20A was the first test version that was released in poland. The official version now is 20B but phones with a branding have different versions. For example my phone has a vodafone branding and has the version 20A, but it is the same as unbranded 20B. (so it's really strange some times)

Look what is written in the settings under software information.

You need to unlock your bootloader to root your phone on Android 6.0 (this will void your warranty). You're right, it seems that SuperSu is already integrated in the kernel so you don't have flash SuperSu separately. But i am not complete sure because i didn't unlock my bootloader.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nadeox1:
Thanks a lot for your help.

I managed to unlock the bootloader, but then I fuffed up..

Accidentally installed SuperSU (Was following that guide, and forgot about what you said).

Now the phone is kinda stuck at the very start, with the LG Logo (Not the animated one, the very first one)...

I'm hopeless now? D:

EDIT

I'm trying to recover with this video (LG G4 KDZ Firmware Restore Unbrick and unroot tutorial -- can't post links yet..)

But the LGFlashTool throws an error at 9% (imgur link -- can't post them fully yet) imgurDOTcom/pR1NYHD

EDIT2

Apparently I'm trying to flash a KDZ with Android 5.x while I'm on 6.0, which is a no. Will try with a 6.0 KDZ if I find one...

Else I hope for LG assistance (Or Amazon support, since the phone is less than 1 week old)

EDIT3

No luck with KDZ, but now the phone is going past to the animated logo, but being stuck there..

EDIT4

This saved me: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63843511&postcount=146

Worked perfectly, my phone is back and fully working :D
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X0rzist:
Sorry, i wasn't online the last couple of hours, but i'm glad that all worked out for you ;)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nadeox1:
No problem, you were of great help.

I'm currently not trying to root until there is a safe procedure to do so for 6.0 :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X0rzist:
I don't think that there will be an easier option in the near future. You can make a backup with twrp and try to flash the kernel again.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nadeox1:
Mmm, currently I have only the bootloader unlocked. No root, no custom recovery.

I don't feel like to play more with these stuff in the near future, after I nearly bricked the G4 :p

Perhaps later on.

When I change the mode to anything like video, slowmo or timelapse, it crashes.

Have to open it again to use that mode. Even changing the camera from rear to front crashes the app.

And swiping left to see the clicked images doesn't work because they are grayed out. Attached screenshot

Would really appreciate if you look into this, I think it's probably because of some missing oneplus apk or lib.

I have a OPO, currently running on sultanxda's version of cm12.1

I really liked the miui ui and want to flash it... So,

1) are there any official/port of miui based on lollipop (material design)?

2) I really want to experience miui, so all I have is miui 6 or 7, still based on kk.

If I flash it, what features of lollipop will I lose, apart from material design?

What will I gain from miui based on kk which is absent in lollipop?

There were too many threads to go through, without answers specific to my questions... Kindly answer my questions
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Your issue is that miui is not really developed here and no real developer will touch it.

Your best bet is the miui site.
[Huawei Ascend G7 Questions & Answers] rex4:
Hello, my g740 was working normally, yesterday I did put a sim card in it and it went in reboot loop even once removed.

I don't mind doing a factory reset except I saw sometime it removes data from internal sd card too, any way I can recover files from it before ? Maybe recuva would work though.

I don't have a micro sd card nor a usb adapter to connect a usb key (not sure it would help anyway), all I have is my PC to connect it in usb.

Please help me I'm sure you can help even if you don't know that phone (it's on android 4 and system recovery is 3e) thanks :crying:

[Huawei Ascend P7] Simbaclaws:
So I followed this guide to root my phone:

http://xdaforums.com/ascend-p7/general/rooted-p7-l10-609-t3003605

Which worked. After that I decided I wanted a bash shell for my phone so I followed this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=727566

I couldn't use adb remount because it gave me permission denied so I decided to use:

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system

And then I followed it up with the commands in the guide.

When I exited out of the adb shell I couldn't adb shell into it anymore.

It's giving me the following error:

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: Permission denied (13) -

This is likely because in the guide you replace the default /system/bin/sh with the bash version.

And in the guide it doesn't tell you to chmod it. I think this is where the problem lies.

Then I thought maybe I could open up a shell inside my phone with a terminal emulator.

However the shell crashes and closes automatically.

Then I thought maybe I could use a file explorer to change sh.old back to the normal sh.

Unluckily I haven't yet given root permission to my file explorer so I couldn't.

I noticed that my root also got broken when I checked whether I was still rooted.

So I tryed re-rooting it with iRoot which didn't work.

Any idea on how I could fix this problem?

I still have adb access but I can't use any kind of shell not on the phone nor using adb.

EDIT: because of this I am now unable to change my EMUI theme, I also can't connect to wifi anymore.

Also, I tried a factory reset which didn't work...

EDIT: okay so I've made a backup of my current ROM through TWRP and now I am attempting to install the stock firmware of B133SP01 through local update.

After that I'm going to locally update to B602 and B609 again. Hopefully that will fix it...

EDIT: Seems like I can't install the stock firmware it's giving me an error message saying that it failed. And yes I have flashed my recovery back to stock B609. I suppose this has something to do with sh not working correctly...

Have I screwed myself for life?
[Huawei Ascend P7] Simbaclaws:
I'm still hoping that someone can come in and help me fix it. If not I might be doomed.

Does this keep SafetyNet intact for Android Pay?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] c3k:
At 99% no. The device will boot with the orange alert ("can't verify") if can help.

I think I have to start from systemless version from Chainfire but:

• I don't have Android Pay in my country (don't need and can't test)

• if you root usually you want to modify the system in a way or in other and you will lose the integrity anyway for what I've read

I think if you start from systemless it should be fine? I don't think your kernel changes should affect the system partition, which is all SafetyNet checks for.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] Evo_Shift:
Thanks. It's hard for me to follow the SuperSU thread. Most of it is talk of systemless root which I don't really care about since I like to use adblockers and delete all sorts of system apps. With this I know I can just use the old classic root method which is really easy.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] petrus764:
This is totally irrelevant. Systemless root is just as capable as the old rooting method. You should try following the thread then perhaps you would have picked up that systemless root is just like normal root.

You may encounter very few apps that wont work because of poor coding where the developer has hardcoded where to look for the su binary.
