I have the v522 Canadian version from Fido.

I basically bought it as a screen for my DJI Phantom. It's a great size and weight for that purpose. I thought I could live with the bloat etc. but I really wish I could get rid of basically everything except for the DJI app. I forgot what it was like to get ads. I've run adblockers on every device and computer I own since forever and didn't realize how it makes web browsing on a tablet all but impossible with all the full-page and popover ads. I give up on almost every article I try to read.

ALL that being said. I will throw $10 at a good unlock/root solution that will allow me to get rid of the bloat and block the ads.

v520 request and pledge

Hello! I too would like to pledge for someone to root the AT&T version (v520). Especially if it unlocks the hotspot feature. This is a great tablet but being locked down is really killing it. I can pledge $10 (sorry, all I can afford, I'm broke).

Is there any update on the progress of root for the v520? Is there anyone even working on it? Does the fact that the v521 now being rooted make rooting the v520 any easier? Just wanted to know if there is any hope at all. Thanks.

ANDROID VERSION:

I have come across a couple methods to gain root although I must say it was not easily achieved. I won't bleed everyone for tedious unfair amounts of money to do it, however if there are enough still in need of root, and enough to each make a small donation I will accept the project.....i'll check back over the next few days to see if its worthy.

I would do it free of charge however I am without a phone atm and I'll dedicate myself to a just cause...

The temp root is possible, but it is easier said that done. I'll give you a basic map of how I succeeded: achieve temp root, set permisssive selinux, disable lg-sec (lg equivalent of knox), update root binaries and apk....

if at first you dont succeed...try, try....try again

So after installing some roms on my Moto G 2014 I noticed I only have 5GB of total space on the device. It appears that the internal/built in SD card is no longer recgonized. When I boot into recovery it says 0Mb and when I try to format it, it says it could not mount it.

Since it's internal I can't remove it - does anyone have any idea on what to do?

I just installed CM12 with correct gapps and phone is working fine. I did it so my kids could download Pokimon Go as pokimon wants a new version then 4.3. After hours of cruising the info on this formum I was able to root, install twrp and install CM12 and the gapps. It works great. However, Pokimon still says I have an older version. I checked in my settings and it says I now have 5.0.2. Is there something else I can change to let pokimon on this phone!

The rom I installed is: cm-12-20150116-UNOFFICIAL-t0lte

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lettcco:
I did something similar with AT&T G2 and loaded a Tmobile ROM on it. First you need root and TWRP or equivalent. and then some developer have to created a modified bootstack that are tailored for your phone model to work with the rom. Once you load the bootstack, then you load the rom without the radio. Not for the faint of heart.

[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] roirraW "edor" ehT:
There's always a chance you can flash a ROM zip with FlashFire. It works on the VK810 G Pad 8.3, and to backup and restore, but for some reason it won't flash SuperSU.zip even when it's part of the ROM zip, or work with its EverRoot option at least on Jellybean or KitKat. Of course until you get root, nothing can happen, and if you have a locked bootloader and no vulnerability is discovered, you won't be able to have permanent root.

You can fix it with the firmware (probably a faster download through the forum for your phone here though) or put a rom on it since you already have TWRP. Easy fix either way.

By rooting your device your warranty is void. if you into it it it is OK

APP2SD WILL NOT WORK ON TEMP ROOT. A BRICK IS POSSIBLE!!!

I am a huge fan of exploits for devices which do not require a computer. Here is the first public temp root for the ZTE ATRIUM Z793C (Usually a straight talk phone).

I AM CURRENTLY PORTING CWM RECOVERY AND ROMS FOR THIS DEVICE WHICH WILL RESULT IN A. PERMANENT ROOT

Required:

1: King root (NOT KINGOROOT) HTTP://kingroot.net/

2: a ZTE Z793C (duh)

3: Patience

4: Brains.

Steps IN ORDER!!!

1. Enable developer options by going into settings, about and clicking build number a whole bunch of times.

2: enable USB Debugging by going into developer options.

3: enable unknown sources.

4: Install King root.

5: launch King root and follow instructions until you get the button that says "root"

6: Let it fail.

7: open settings, apps. And click all.

8: scroll all the way down then start going up slowly to find Task Manager. Click force stop.

9: go to downloaded and select King root and clear cache.

10: power off, then power on (DO NOT REBOOT!!)

11: Open King root click root.

12a: Wait until it reached 11% then quickly POWER OFF the device.

12b: Wait for 15 seconds.

13: Power on the device.

14: Open King root.

IF YOUR KINGROOT APP STARTED ROOTING WITHOUT CLICKING ANYTHING GO TO STEP 15: IF IT DID NOT GO TO STEP 16.

15: Your device is not rooting. It should go to about 26 percent then speed up. You have access to go on and and type SU as well.

IF YOUR DEVICE GAVE YOU PROCESS STOPPED ERRORS GO TO SETTINGS THEN APPS AND CLEAR THE CACHE FOR KINGROOT AND POWER DOWN YOUR DEVICE AND GO TO STEP 12b!!!

YOU ARE ROOTED!!!

16: So, your at the screen to click root? Well, click it! It might work. If not clear the app cache and go back to step1.

IF YOUR DEVICE GAVE YOU PROCESS STOPPED ERRORS GO TO SETTINGS THEN APPS AND CLEAR THE CACHE FOR KINGROOT AND POWER DOWN YOUR DEVICE AND GO TO STEP 12b!!!

YOU ARE ROOTED!!

THIS METHOD WILL UNROOT ITSELF AFTER:

Installing a new app.

Rebooting.

Plugging in to a charging outlet. ADB is okay.

Any questions? Feel free to comment! If it did not work, comment.
[Android General] AndroGlitch:
update 1: Permanent root in the working. Modifying the FireFlash apk to support King user. It shouldn't be that hard I don't think.

Update 2: CWM RECOVERY image has been ported to the device. Once I get a permanent root I will test the recovery.

LATER UPDATE 1: MIUI V7 ROM for the device.

LATER UPDATE 2,3,4: VIDEO TUTORIALS.
[Android General] lxtrvn:
bootloader.

The locked bootloader is what kills the temp root. Lets work to unlock it and get permanent root going.
[Android General] AndroGlitch:
I see. The company put some work into this one. They blocked the option to boot into fast boot mode. Too bad the recovery doesn't allow custom zips. I couldn't quite figure out modifying a apk. Writing the recovery to a block will replace it with the stock recovery on reboot. If you have any ideas or just to ask questions I'll be waiting. If the boot loader can be unlocked I can easily port my cwm recovery and MIUI rom from there. I would be happy to work with you!

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg472b:
Has anyone else noticed the following:

Take a 1080p video with the stock Moto camera app.

Then take one with the Google Camera app.

(both taken with my phone sitting on my laptop on a mini tripod)

The Google Camera video is a wider wide-screen on mine, and I can't seem to find any setting that will make the Moto camera match it. Actually I've tried Open Camera too and it also crops like the Moto.

It looks like in the Google app, all it does is crop the 21 MP still image to 16:9 and records that at 1080p. But in the other apps, they crop out a bit from the middle too.

Anyone have an idea of what's going on here? I generally prefer the Google Camera, except it won't record to SD card and it won't record longer than 4 GB so I've been shopping for a new app (Open Camera works well, but isn't as wide screen!)

edit: This is a Droid Turbo 2. Mine is still LP and my wife's is MM, and it does this on both.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] richierich:
Hey buddy,

Have you looked in the "Alpine" section of the forums??

If you go to the upgrading section of the Alpine forum, there are step by step guides to flashing your rom.

I wouldn't worry too much about the phone being stuck in bootloader mode (thats where the screen says usb 1.01 etc), as when you flash the rom successfully it will fix that.

My rom recommendations:

Check out Deathnoise's custom rom, it has all you need (and everything you don't need has been stripped out!!!)
