Glad I can help,. I feel like I am very knowledgeable at this. Why do I feel this way, is because I've taken a week away of my life trying to figure out how to root this device. I have scroll through and read all of the post on other people's problems, and out of the hundred post I read, 7 or 8 pertaining to my issue. I'm going to now list some of the issues that I picked out of scrolling through all of the threads that helped me, and hopefully it will help someone else. Because scrolling through these comments is asinine. Asinine, but it was the only way I got through my initial soft brick problem. Thanks for this community.

Have 20f

Use dirtycow method

DO A FACTORY RESET through the settings menu on your v521

This has gotten thru the method up to the

Exit

Code:

adb logcat -s recowvery

(where I have been previously been stuck)

This section :eek:

Code:

$ ./dirtycow /system/bin/app_process32 recowvery-app_process32

<wait for completion, your phone will look like it's crashing>

Looks like it's crashing, did not happen the first time I did it. After I read through the thread some more, I saw a post where someone said do a factory reset. So I did a factory reset, and this second time when I got to looks like it's crashing. It went to the T-Mobile load up screen. I waited at least 40 minutes, which was a waste of time. On the screen in the Windows command it had a dollar symbol and it was ready for me to continue. I didn't know I had to wait on just the computer screen, and not the T-Mobile load up screen. So I ended up wasting approximately 35 minutes waiting for the phone to do something, with your didn't. But either way the second time after a factory reset I was able to continue on in the dirty cow process

All smiles, I get close to the end of the adb instructions, and the commands lines on the computer rooted and give somebody a hug?

I reset the phone and do a root checker, and the thing ISN'T ROOTED.

:(

Now I've got the TWRP IMG to load and it is my first time using it, and I could not find the super issue that is downloaded on the tablet internal SD card. I reset the phone, go to check to see if it's rooted, and it still IS STILL NOT ROOTED!

The command line lied.

Next I will go thru the steps again. But read ahead and learn how to properly use TWRP since the img loaded as a boot recovery something.

This process is frustrating

Okay I'm replying to myself, since no one is trying to have with answers to my questions on being stuck at this particular point.

adb logcat -s recowvery

<wait for it to tell you it was successful> and Press [CTRL + C]

..................... Main

.................. Main something..

It took me three more times at the sideload boot and tpr recovery and on the PC. I followed the instructions exactly and it worked.

Helpful hint when I didn't work the first two times. RENAME YOUr

Supersu v2. 8273927383837293-8282.zip long number to supersu-v2.82.zip or something like that. Because my version the numbers were different, although they look the same upon first glance. I think it's been so long that I've been trying to root this phone, that SuperSU has released additional versions since I began this process a week ago.

It looks like I'm now rooted, and I'll start adding all my ad blocking software and load my custom recovery from Titanium Backup now and all my other favorite apps that tweak all of the settings and Android. I hope people find this helpful because this was a long process that I would not like to do again ever
