[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Veliion:
With the stuff that has been talked about in the other thread, can I update to this software and not worry about destroying my root capabilities? Just curious.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
Here's what I would say: Just to be safe, if you have the option to update I wouldn't, but if you are automatically updated don't worry about it, as you will probably be okay
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Veliion:
Good to know, I haven't updated yet but sometimes it asks me if I want to update. Hopefully it doesn't do it automatically.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] PHYCLOPSH:
Like the previous user said, if you can, avoid taking any updates unless you feel lucky.

Be prepared to factory reset your phone if it does update, as your current setup could be incompatible with it. This happened to me after the second OTA I received. Not very cool...
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Veliion:
It just updated itself without my permission......

This is a load of crap, can't turn off data without a stupid annoying notification telling me to turn it back on
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] PHYCLOPSH:
I'm sorry to hear that. The only way to reverse the ill effects of an update without root would be to find an original TOT file appropriate to your device model# and flash it with LG Flash tool in download mode, which would bring your phone back to a factory software condition.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
I dont want to down hopes just inform just like previous posts said unless bootloard gets unlocked ure out. Su is a systemless root and hence root dosnt lie in the system. If the bl is n e thing like g4 its encrypted with a 256 bit key which is basickly unhackable.

Like another poster said if ever is possible its gonna be in something like bump or loki ofcoarse both have been patched. Unless they change unlocked models with a android n update. Which has been know to hppen a updte isnt just a system but bootloaders too at discretion can be locked or unlocked with any updte. Days of rooting these device are at a major change.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] einhuman197:
I don't think we have to unlock our bootloader. One click rooting tools don't need a unlocked bootloader. The lg magma has a Root Method on 6.0.1 and you don't have to unlock the bootloader for this. Su is only a app and a few files in the system. You can only crash the bootloader when it has hash checks. And hashing the whole system takes long.

And we can easily do a temporary root.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] einhuman197:
I want to add a little thing: We can still root android Marshmallow without systemless, supersu has both options. With the traditional root we don't need bootloader unlock.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaykoerner:
sorry im on a different phone and was just looking at quadrooter to see if it was a option for our device, but we have the ability to flash IMG's but i was told you could not do system root in marshmallow? please enlighten me, we do not have the ability to pull imgs though so we were at a loss, but if we could get the firmware from ZTE we could build a system img from it and include root, no?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] einhuman197:
QuadRooter is a security flaw android devices that works on android Marshmallow up to the August update. It allows root access. When we find a rooting team that uses this exploit to inject su in the traditional way (not systemless, which writes into /boot, that one that writes into /system) we don't need a bootloader unlock. But with this we cannot flash IMG's files, we also cannot install a custom recovery but we can flash zips with flashfire and we can make a nandroid backup and restore that after a bootloader unlock. With this we can also root any branded g5, t mobile or whatever.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sergykm:
Any news for root? Or we have security flaw but nobody can't use it for get root?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] gwolfu:
as stated, this is just an exploit (or a few exploits) that can bypass some android protections

this can be used to get elevated permissions if you craft a special app to do so, but can no be used to install custom ROMs, recovery or even superSU
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] einhuman197:
That's not right. You get root access with this, and you can inject the su with this. This means we can get permanent root. Some devices have protections (Motorola, blackberry...) but LG devices don't have those protections and you can get permanent root.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] gwolfu:
let me put it another way

if you can install su, then why no one used those exploits to install it?

well simply because you can't

the exploits are public and yet no one managed to get any actual use of them

the current bootloader on the G5 does not allow tampering with the system partition and if you can't unlock it, you simply can not install any "mods" on the phone

sorry but that is that

if there would have been a simple solution, believe me that up until now someone would have thought of it

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] einhuman197:
So no root with QuadRooter? :(

I asked the kingroot team before they said it could be possible and they'll look at it.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sguerra923:
No unfortunately not.. Some are putting focus on the V20 once released on gaining root etc
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] einhuman197:
The problem is: I will do a bootloader unlock which I can do (I have a European H850) but I'll loose everything. I hate to format it. On my e975 I rooted with towelroot and did a bootloader unlock with freegee without unlock D:. Can you suggest me a tool that backups every app and their app data? Thanks.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] antykat:
System LG Backup is good enough for me. I don't have to do anything after restoring. The only thing is to download maps fo Sygic Navigation. That's one of reasons that I haven't rooted my phone yet. I use Adguard to block ads. I can't see a reason to unblock bootloader for now. I rooted my phones in the past mainly for Adaway and Titanium Backup. I have no need to do that now and I don't have to worry about warranty.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diablo_692:
So what I hear you saying, is that with LG Backup to the PC you get a complete restore of your apps and their data, settings, contacts, etc. from the .lbf file that is created much like you did with Titanium Backup?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] antykat:
I make backup on sd card (external memory) not on pc. I haven't try this with pc. And yes all settings (system settings as well), sms's, contacts, bookmarks, passwords, etc. are saved. I have over 50 apps installed. I restored all apps a few times and had no problems. If I remember well its necessary to make backup of WatsApp conversations and restore it separately. The app doesn't keep them on servers as fb messenger does. Additionally you can choose what you want to backup and restore.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diablo_692:
Ok thanks, good to know. I don't have an SD card.....yet, so I'm using the PC. Did you set up your SD card as "portable" storage or as "adoptable" storage?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] antykat:
I did nothing with my card, just put it into my phone. I think you can make backup on internal memory if you have anough space and copy it to pc, but I haven't tried this way.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] gwolfu:
well yeah but that requires a bit of know how before doing it
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] einhuman197:
So does lg backup save app data?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] i_guana:
The screen on my fiance's Note 3 is shattered. It has Hyperdrive ROM on it. I thought I could just hook up my mhl adapter and see the screen but no matter what screen mirroring solution I use all it displays is a black screen with a faint Hyperdrive ROM logo in the center. The touch screen is still working and I can turn things on and off sometimes. So it seems that maybe the screen has to work for screen mirroring to work. I've tried an MHL adapter, the Samsung WiFi HDMI adapter and using the adb shell to take screenshots. All with the same result. Anyone know if any screen mirroring methods function with a broken screen and how to do it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] garwynn:
Moved to Q&A. And several tools should allow mirroring IF debugging was enabled. (Don't recall what the solution, if any, was without that.)

Totally stuck

Hi guys,

I am totally lost here. I kindda understand what the Wiki explains but to use it I get stuck. I am completely new to this whole business. bought a used blue angel (everything working on it) with a WM 2003 on it italian language. all I wanted was to swith from italian to english (or WWE as you guys call it). I do know that my ROm is 1.12.24 ITA Radio 1.03 and no value for extRom. that is what it showed when I tried to use one of the numerous updates available on XDA. first it showed me error 102 checksum error then country ID error. so I used the Ruu file and added the Checkceid_1 command as u suggested on wiki for blue angel. anyway I am stuck. now even the WM2003 italian is no longer available since I hard-reseted my BA. all I see now on the screen is windows mobile with some italian gibberish under it.

Serious help needed please.

Thank you
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
use a text editor to open the file

Hi, the zip file only includes a link and not the file itself.

[HTC Excalibur] sesinger:
Copy the link to the Windows directory on your phone. This will make the IE button bring up the Task Manager. If you want it to execute something else, edit the link. I used Total Commander for the editing.

On the other side, I can say, as an veteran Samy user, that the sounds of our devices have become a little too weak these last years.

Safestrap "Installed" correctly, but upon rebooting there is no splash screen

Hey everyone. I'm at a fairly novice level when it comes to this flashing rom stuff, and this is my first time dealing with a locked bootloader. I installed Odin, reverted my phone to 4.4.2, downloaded towelroot, supersu, busybox, and safestrap, and everything went swimmingly. I rooted successfully, got the superuser app working, installed busybox, but when I install safestrap, everything 'works' according to the app itself, but there is nothing different at all upon booting. (only once did the 'custom' unlock thing show up but never again). I've done all manners of uninstalling, reinstalling, deleting, rebooting.. nothing changes. What can I do?

(slightly off topic - what's the smoothest + best battery life rom out there? I was gonna install firekat before all this mess stopped me.)

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] soupiejr:
I've just noticed my Himalaya's charging connection under the unit has broken off the board. Opening it, I realise it'll be impossible for me to solder the charger back to the board. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can bring it to get it fixed in Victoria, Australia? Or, if I could order the board from O2, how much would it be, and how would I order it. Thanks!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Jadel:
Hi Soupiejr,

The only two places I know of that could fix the o2 is their service centre in Rockhampton, QLD.

Having said that, do you have the charger dock still? It may be annoying to do this, but why not just charge the battery in the spare battery dock? It seems to me to be a much cheaper and hassle free fix. I don't know what taking the battery out of the himalaya will do so that is worth some investigating as it may be without battery for an hour while you charge. It still has a backup battery which I believe lasts a fair while. The exact times can be found elsewhere on this site. Someone else may want to confirm this idea for me as I have never done it myself, or if you have no data on the device you may want to give it a test yourself?

As for syncing, maybe do it via bluetooth?

Hope this helps.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] soupiejr:
I have actually done that, but I lose all my data everytime I take the battery out. I have WM5 installed, so most of the data are still there, but it's a pain to have to resync everything everytime I recharge the battery (which happens about once a day). Do you know how much o2 would charge for me to fix this, by any chance?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Jadel:
No I don't sorry, but I imagine it would be more than the phone would sell for now. They have a monopoly on repairs, being the ionly two places to provide the service anywhere in Australia, so they are fairly free to charge as much as they want as people have little choice.
